"Tell you what...think of something you have a strong feeling for....perhaps a strong dislike of. And when you go against the dummy again, picture that dummy as that item so that when you go to cast the shield its like you're attacking it or defending yourself against it. You're strong feeling against it should help you cast a strong enough spell to get it right," the seventh year instructed with a smile, giving her a look of belief that she could do the spell if she tried again.
Deciding to move on, Simon moved back to the front of the room to gather all the defense players he ahd been working with. "Okay, so the other spell mentioned was the Patronus charm. Please put your wands away because for now we're just going to talk about it.," he instructed, his voice slightly raised to be heard. His own wand within its usual pocket. "As others mentioned it casts a light airy item whether just whisps or an actual form, usually a creature, if you're talented and experienced enough." he went on letting it sink in before asking his first question.

"Knowing that, who... if any...can tell me what they think it is mostly used for?" he asked. His gaze passing across the gathered students as he patiently awaited an answer from them, regardless if it was right or wrong.

Presley thought for a moment. A strong dislike...Presley hated that she couldn't get her father to notice her...did that count? She imagined him ignoring the crap out of her, and stepped in front of the dummy. If she did this right, he would pay attention to her. It shot its jet of light. "PROTEGO!" She shouted angrily at the dummy/her father. A shield appeared and the light bounced off. Presley beamed. "I did it!!!" She jumped and shouted her accomplishment. Then she calmed.
Simon had moved on to the Patronus charm. Presley knew that it was really advanced magic, and that she probably wouldn't be able to do it for years, but still, she wanted to get a good head start. "Dementors. You can use the Patronus charm against dementors," she replied automatically. What else did you use it for? She wracked her brains, and came up empty.
