"So this is our last tutoring session before the exams, you have anything special planned for me?" Fred asked with a slight smile while sitting down on a table close to Cass. He put his hands in his lap and looked down at the girl, who was reeking of smoke.
"We practiced basically everything and i'm pretty sure that you are ready to write the exams. So today you can leave after producing a corporal patronus." She said while crossing her legs and putting her hands in her lap.
A small smile tugged on her lips as she saw Fred's eyes widen.
"I don't know if-," He began to say but Cass cut him off.
"You can do it? Yes you can. Do as we talked about. Think about the happiest memory in your head, it doesn't need to be real but it needs to bring you happiness. And then you put that into your patronus." She explained.
He closed his eyes and gripped his wand, stronger than necessary, after getting away from the desk. As he opened them again, he breathed in and out for a minute before he flipped his wand softly and spoke the incantation,
"Expecto Patronum!"
And indeed, a magpie shot out of his wand and flew around the room. Fred's eyes widened at his success, "Fuck I actually did it!" He said loudly.
Cass stood up with a chuckle, straightened her skirt out and walked over to him, "I told you, you could easily do it." She smiled at his squirming.
Without thinking any further, Fred pulled Cass into a bone crushing hug, "Thank you for believing in me. I don't think I would have managed without you as a teacher." He whispered into her shoulder.
Overwhelmed for a moment, Cass brought her arms around him, hugging him back tightly, "Of course you would have, though I'm still very proud of you." She muttered back.
As Fred pulled away, his eyes lingered on hers longer than they probably should have but he couldn't keep his eyes away from her. She smiled up at him and he looked down at her lips.
God how much he wanted to kiss her.
He wanted to feel her soft lips on his, breath in her scent and taste her lips. He bet she tasted sweet.
"So," Cass spoke up, breaking the comfortable silence by tucking a strand of loose hair behind her ear, "Class dismissed then, I suppose." She snickered.
