Sierra sat up tall and stiff as she felt the presence of another human being literally engulf her. Her eyes grew wide and she neither breathed nor moved at all in the few seconds it took the girl to hug her. When the intruding arms were removed, Sierra turned around to see just who had dared to invade her personal space like so...

"Any particular reason you are invading another student's personal space?"
...but when she caught the look the professor gave her, she decided not to say much of anything at all. What was with Schirmer and all the looks she'd been giving Sierra lately anyway? Had she actually...done anything wrong? No, not that she could recall. At least Schirmer seemed to be a fairly nice person, so Sierra was sure it'd all be smoothed over soon anyway.
She quickly passed the Puffer a slight glare before turning her full attention to the discussion.

Althea spoke to the children at large.
"It can be used to fend off Dementors and Lethifolds, and also to communicate and pass messages on, as much of your will needs to be infused into its creation." Just reiterating things.
"A Patronus may be substantial or insubstantial.... known as corporeal or incorporeal. Most of you will not manage an corporeal Patronus, at least not until you are older, but that is no reason not to learn about it now." Right?
"The corporeal Patronus takes an animal form, relating to the personality and traits of its caster. You can refer to your textbooks for this next question. I'd like for you to discuss amongst yourselves some famous witches and wizards and their known Patronus forms. Given what we know about them; their achievements, their experiences, what do you think their Patronus form indicates about their personalities?"
"Well, there's Severus Snape, of course," Sierra brought up.
"I've read about his patronus before, and there's a really interesting story behind it." Sierra would be horrified if this sort of thing ever happened to her, but it was interesting to read about it happening to someone else.
"It's said to have taken the form of someone he was deeply in love with. Then many, many years after his death, his patronus still remained identical to hers. That's how people knew he'd been in love with her for most of his life."
How mushy for a strong Slytherin...
