"How to cast a patronous..." Fred whispers to himself. You were seated with your friend, Fred Weasley in the Hogwarts school library.
You were here today because you were the only person in your grade/ year who weren't able to cast their own patronous, and Fred was trying to help you.
Fred was scrolling through a book, rather quickly when all the sudden "ooh! Found it." He jumps up, making you flinch a little.
"begin drawing circles with your wand so as to increase the power of your spell."
He says, reading exactly what's in the book.
You nod, scooting closer. "Okay, read on."
He nods back at you.
"Then, They must then say the incantation, Expecto Patronum"
"Okay, everyone knows that." You reply. "Carry on." You say after some silence.
"the Patronus would then come from the tip of the wand and could be directed towards a target by pointing one's wand at said target"
He says as he's Shutting the book.
"But.. how? Like, I've tried that everytime." You say.
"Oh, want me to keep reading??" He looks at you, about to open the book.
"No, I want you to jump on the table and act like a monkey." You say.
"What?" He tilts his head.
"Yes I want you to keep reading!" You say, Punching his shoulder.
"Ouch, fine."
Fred rambles through the pages, "oh, here we go.."
"To successfully cast the spell one must muster a happy memory, the happier the memory, the more powerful and tangible the Patronus will be." He continues
He reads some more,
"The happy memory one requires when casting does not necessarily have to be a specific moment in your past. Arguably more important than content, is how the memory or thought makes you feel now" he turns to look at you.
"Well??? Give it a go."
You awkwardly nod and stand up, revealing your wand. You take a few deep breaths, and Fred nods at you, smiling.
You gently shut your eyes, feeling surrounded in the light and sound around you, allowing all that their is to swallow you up, and for you to never be seen again.
"Expecto....Patronum" you whisper, thinking of your happiest, most precious moment.
Opening your eyes, you were a little disappointed to see that nothing happened.
"Oh forget it.. I'll never be able to do this stupid thing anyways." You say, packing your bag and leaving Fred.
"It's okay, we can try again tomorrow." He yells as the door shuts.
