FIRENZE TURNED OUT TO BE SOMEWHAT BETTER than Professor Trelawney when it came to teaching Divination --- though, Alora couldn't say she was listening particularly avidly to the topic. It was still as monotonous as ever, it wasn't as though anything exhilarating was being introduced.

If it wasn't for the DA meetings, Alora would've been very bored. Sometimes, Alora wanted the sessions to go on all day --- she'd even thought about skipping lessons to practise, but she knew that wouldn't help her final O.W.L. results whatsoever.

They'd finally started work on Patronuses, which Alora had been wanting to work with --- something about needing to see what her Patronus was truly intrigued her. . .would it be something completely unique?. . .or would she match with someone?

Harry kept reminding the group that setting off a Patronus in a brightly lit classroom was very dissimilar to fighting against a Dementor.

"Oh, don't be such a killjoy," said Cho brightly, as she trailed after her swan-shaped Patronus that soared freely across the Room of Requirement during their last lesson before Easter. "They're so pretty!"

"They're not supposed to be pretty, they're supposed to protect you," corrected Harry patiently. "What we really need is a Boggart or something; that's how I learned, I had to conjure a Patronus while the Boggart was pretending to be a Dementor---"

"I can't get it---" Aria sighed, crossing her arms in defeat, "how will I ever get the Patronus out. . .oh, this is impossible!"

"It's not impossible, Ari," Alora placed a hand on her shoulder, "think really hard, about your favourite memory. . .it can be anything. . ."

Harry wandered throughout the room and caught a glimpse of Alora --- every time he'd glanced to her, she'd been helping someone else, he'd not actually seen her cast the spell yet. He was more than sure she was capable of it though, as she'd successfully made three people create Patronuses.

"Have you got yours, yet?" Harry asked.

"No," Alora tilted her head over to Aria, who had her eyes shut in concentration, "Aria can't seem to get it, so, I thought I'd help her first."

"You can try now, if you'd like," Harry proposed, standing beside her. "Aria seems quite busy."

Alora grinned and readied her wand, her mind focused on something that filled her with joy, and didn't have any bad correlations to it. . .spending time with Sirius. . .her mind directed itself to something that she was unsure of, with the way it came to an end, but it only seemed to make the image of her Patronus clearer. . .Cedric gifting Alora the emblems. . .Harry kissing her at Grimmuald Place. . .

Her wand jolted in her hand --- her eyes opened to see a gust of silver mist surround her, the outline of the Patronus was makeable, but only came clear once it started to prance.

"I did it!" Alora spoke excitedly, the silver animal was what Alora saw was a Pronghorn.

"How'd do you that so quickly?" Harry asked in astonishment, recalling the amount of weeks it took him to master the spell. "You're a natural!"
