"Make it a powerful memory, the happiest you can remember. Allow it to fill you up." Harry instructed one D.A. lesson. We were learning how to create Patronus charms which were very good against Dementors.

"Keep trying, Seamus. George, your turn now." Harry said as he made his way to the twins.

"Expecto Patronum!" George got a few beams of light around him.

"A full-bodied Patronus is the most difficult to produce but shield forms can also be equally useful against a variety of opponents."

"Expecto Patronum!" Ginny exclaimed, and with a wave of her wand, she was able to produce a beautiful strong stallion out of her wand. It whinnied and cantered away.

"Fantastic, Ginny! Just remember, your Patronus can only protect you for as long as you stay focused. So focus, Luna." He gave Luna a nod. "Think of the happiest thing you can."

I looked at Hermione as an otter floated around her head.

Harry passed by me. I thought of the happiest memory I could. When Cedric and I told each other we loved each other. It filled me up with happiness and I said in incantation;

"Expecto Patronum!"

From the tip of my wand, an elegant silver hawk was produced. It soared through the air making cawing noises until it faded out of existence. I looked at Harry who gave me a huge grin.

Nearby, I could hear Neville struggling, "Expecto Patronum!" Small spurts of light came out of his wand. "I'm trying Harry"

"I know. It's good. This is really advanced stuff, guys. You're doing so well."

I glanced at Ron who, with wide eyes, watched as a jack russell terrier bounded out of his wand and in between Neville's legs, causing him to fall over backwards.
