All The Houses

The Lark and The Wren

I wasn't paying attention at all during potions class the next day. I had class with the Gryffindors and Slytherins. I felt uncomfortable under the glare of Justin's sister, Kat. If looks could kill, I would be stabbed a million times and 10 feet under the ground. She gotten even crazier since she found out me and Justin were together.  I look over at Ren, who is scribble someone his parchment. He hands the parchment to me. On the page there is a picture of a raging demon monster. At the top it says 'Kat'. I let out a laugh, louder then I meant to. The teacher glares at me.
"Is everything ok, Miss Walsh?" Asks the teacher sternly.
"Yes sir, umm.. just umm.. thought of a joke, someone told me yesterday." I answer.
"Would care to share it with the class. If it's funny enough to interrupt my class, you should share it." the teacher says in annoyed voice.
"Umm... err... Who is the most crazy cat in the world?" I say. What I'm about to say next might get me in trouble. "The one in Slytherin, that's sitting in this classroom." There's a laugh that comes from all the Gryffindors and a few Slytherins. Kat looks at me with dagger eyes and the teacher is trying to look cross, but he has a smile tugging at his lips.
"Enough" the teacher says sternly. "I expect you to apologise to Miss Baskin".
"Sorry" I mumble, not looking her in the eye.
"That's 5 points from.. um..Gryffindor? Or Hufflepuff? Let's say Gryffindor since you are in class with them" says the teacher. I nod. After class it's lunch time and Ren and I decide to go explore the castle. We were on a floor that I have never seen before and it was dark and erri.
"I can't see a thing" Ren complained.
"Hang on, I have an idea"
"Lumos?"
"No, that's not bright enough and it doesn't protect you like a patronus does, because I have a felling that there is something following us."
"Ok, show off. Let's see this patronus of yours"
"You're right. I am a show off" I say laughing. I focus my mind on happy thoughts. I think of getting wand, I think of Justin, I think Ruffledwing, I think of my friends and family, I think about hanging out with my friends and I think about now, hanging out with Ren. The silvery mist explodes from my wand. It begins to form, but it looks different this time. It's not a wolf. It's a bird.
" That's weird, last time I used this spell it was a wolf." I say
"Well it's a bird now"
"What sort of bird is it?"
"I think it a wren. Well that's really cool that you can produce a patronus."
" Thanks. I think lunch is almost over though so we better get back"
"Ok" .
We walked in silence back to the great hall where we left our bags. The image of my patronus floating in my mind. I wonder if a patronus change has ever happened before. Magic can be such a puzzling thing.

P.S
I know the Kat joke was kinda stupid.
