"you gotta get up and try, try, try."

Louis

I notice the spell that Makayla tries fails. She manages to do it a little bit, but it doesn't stop the dementors.

"What do you have to do for it to work?" I ask.

She grunts, trying to keep the spell up. "Think of your happiest memory."

My eyebrows furrow in confusion. Why wouldn't it work with her of all people? She has an amazing life. She's rich, popular, smart, pretty, and athletic. That's what every girl wants.

"Think of..." I stammer, taking a moment to think. "Think of that time that I tripped and fell on my way to my seat in potions during first year."

Just hte mention of it causes both of us to start chuckling. It was an embarrassing moment, but it was memorable.

She whips her wand around again, shouting, "Expecto Patronum!"

A bright light shines out from her wand, as if she said Lumos, and expands, pulsing outward and sending hte dementors away. In the light, I swear I saw an animal. It looked almost like a three-headed snake—a Runespoor.

Her past self falls to the ground, passed out as she lowers her wand.

"Okay, I didn't think me falling would be that funny," I say, both of us laughing.
