October brought a change in scenery to the castle, the leaves on the Whomping Willow began to drop and the weather started to get colder. The chill spread throughout the castle, Hagrid had spent many hours ensuring that there were extra candles around.
Lina was extremely grateful for the extra candles in Professor McGonagall's classroom. Her wandless magic lesson was always held when it was dark, in the moments when it was coldest, the warmth for the candles helped ease her mind making it easier for her to concentrate on the complicated spell the Professor was teaching her.
For the last hour or so the Professor has been trying Lina to produce a Patronus believing she was ready, the only problem Lina had not been able to conjure anything more than a small blue wisp.
"We'll stop for tonight Miss Lina," Professor McGonagall said after another failed attempt.
"Okay," Lina sighed.
"We'll resume on Thursday but in the meantime keep thinking happy thoughts."
"Of course. Professor what if I can't do it, what if I can't think of anything happy enough."
"Then we learn another spell until a memory comes along that is powerful enough" Professor McGonagall smiled reassuringly at Lina.
Lina nodded and left. She was ready to go back to her dorm chat to her friends while Demeter slept on her lap and overthink her failure to the point where she wouldn't be able to sleep that night and while that would happen the actions were going to be delayed by an hour.
Lina left the classroom and was meant by awaiting Harry, Ron and Hermione. "What are you three doing here?" Lina asked surprised at there appearance.
"We came to see you" Harry replied.
"How did you three even know I'd be here," Lina asked as she began to walk in the direction of the Gryffindor common room, the three-second years were walking next to her.
"You have wandless lessons every Tuesday and Thursday since your second year," Ron said, "I remember."
"I almost didn't believe Ron when he told us this is where you'd be," Hermione said, "I've only read about great wizards who can do wandless magic but never someone as young as you."
"Hermione" Ron groaned embarrassed.
"It's alright Ron. You know my mother could do it as well" Lina said.
"Really!" Her whole face lit.
"Lina?" Harry asked.
"Sorry. You know you never did say why you've come to see me" Lina said changing the subject.
"Can't I come and see my cousin without needing a reason?" Harry said.
"No comment, what can I help you all with," Lina said.
