Oh Willaim must say it slowly for ahle like the professor told him. Here goes nothng. "Ex- pecto Pa-tron-is" William tried it. Agan "Ex- Pec- to Pa- Tro- Nus" Willaim raised his hand. " This is really hard for second years but am I slowing down the spell right?" William asked her. Althea was about to answer and point out that he was saying the incantation wrong, but she didn't need to because a student stepped up to help. She liked how well everyone was working together. It was lovely. She smiled encouragingly at William. Quote:

ooc: Sorry, I should have known that. Thanks. "If you're sure." Althea answered and then nodded as the girl went ahead and began to try the spell. Quote:

The light there grew, grew, grew and shot itself forward in a form of ray only to form a silvery Friesian Horse which had started to gallop around immediately. ''Mine is the biggest.''
That was probably because it was a large horse breed but...whatever.
Hahahaha... ....
Sigh.
Althea didn't make comment. Gryffindors apparently hadn't changed one bit since she was in school. Quote:

"EXPECTO PATRONUM!!!" nothing happened again. Maybe she was too young to produce the Patronus
"Excuse me Professor Schirmer?" she raised her hand and wanted to ask a question.
"First, does a corporeal patronus only deliver the message? and second, actually how can we speak the message that we want deliver to someone by patronus? I still didn't... understand." "Do you mean does a Patronus have to be corporeal to deliver a message? Yes. A non-corporeal Patronus can't. As for sending a message, you add that into your focus when you cast it, but you won't need to worry about trying that until you can actually manage a Patronus in a few years. Just practice the spell, dear and focus as best you can." Quote:

Therefore, she shouldn't give up so easily. Maybe some elder students will be able to help. No?
Aiden closed her eyes, thinking of a very happy memory. A strong one too. Suddenly, an image of flash red light cross her mind. She could here a man screaming in agony and another male voice laughing. The laughing voice sounded familiar to her...
Eyes wide open, her whole body trembled and she knelt down. Her face was paler than usual and she was panting heavily. Cold sweat running down her back. What was that she saw? Did she concentrated too much? No... That laughing voice was... Her father's.
What was going on there?
"Are you alright?" Althea headed over, looking concerned.

He didn't understand even further when repeating the spell put him back to normal.

"Thanks, that took a lot of effort. I've never managed to produce a corporeal Patronus before! It left me exhausted. Let's see you have a go!"
Nothing happened. But really, she couldn't expect it to. Nothing to be ashamed of as a first year.
He noticed her looking tired. Actually, he was tired as well. Remembering what he had heard in DADA, he put a hand on the girl's shoulder and smiled. "This is really advanced stuff and tends to leave you drained. I'm tired, too. But the best way to combat it is, surprisingly, chocolate. It appears there are plenty of brownies left on the table. I'm going to go grab one if you'd like to join me."
He doubted the Professor would mind them enjoying a small pick-me-up.
"You're absolutely right about the chocolate." Althea commented, watching the young Hufflepuff. She smiled whimsically. "Five points for you for remembering that and recommending it."

Looking around, he noticed everybody trying the charm, even the younger students. He cleared his throat. Let's try this out. he thought as he ran through the incantation. "Ex-PEC-to PA-tro-NUM. Ex-pec-TO Pa-TRO-num." Hmm, those didn't quite sound right. Time to make a call for help!
"Excuse me, can anybody help me with this incantation?" Preferably somebody who knows what they're doing....
"Ecks-PEK-toh pa-TRO-num." Althea offered up the correct pronunciation and smiled. "Just keep practising." Now that it was permitted.
-------------------------
"Alright who is still having trouble? Come over by me and we'll work on it together. If you've had a bit of a result, keep practising on your own, you're all working so hard, great job." She nodded at them.
And as for those older kids.
"Those of you who can cast a corporeal patronus are going to play a game of Patronus whispers. I want you to send messages to each other in turn and try to keep it from getting garbled, Da... Professor Scabior will start you off and I'd like you to all spread out around the room and cast a Muffliato charm, or similar around you so that the others who are playing won't be able to make out the message and cheat. We'll pass it around and see how well you can all focus so that your spirit animal can pass the secret message on. If you participate you'll earn house points, and get some practice in for your particular homework, which will be different from the students who can't yet cast a corporeal form." Althea informed them.
"Who is going to play? Evelyn Flores, Lexi Kennedy, Arya Lovegoods, Josh Carter... anyone else?" ooc: younger students and those who can't do a corporeal Patronus should keep practising or go over to Professor Schirmer for help. There is still opportunity to earn more house points by practising and working together to help each other 
If your charrie can do a corporeal Patronus its game time! Scabior (Kaos.Doodles) will start the game.
