Wow! I got five points! Keefer had been nervous that he was going to lose points because the Professor seemed to be getting irritated.

Would there ever be a nice lesson where she wouldn't have to take so much in the way of points?
"If you don't know how to cast a Patronus or haven't managed one yet, move nearer someone who can. It doesn't matter if they can do a corporeal patronus or not themselves, I just find it is easier to be inspired to work hard and focus on your own when you can see one in action!" Patronus stuff was exciting right?
"And I have an activity for those of you who can cast a corporeal patronus too." She waggled one finger at the students and her eyes twinkled.
"As you saw, Professor Scabior came because I sent him a Patronus message. What do you think are the benefits of communicating via Patronus?"
Keefer was excited that he may be able to finally manage a corporeal Patronus.
After all, this is the most positive and happy environment I'm likely to encounter when I try. He still felt the after effects of the potion.
He considered the question. "
Well, I suppose it's similar to the benefits of an owl, Professor. Owls can find the recipient even when you have no clue where they may be. I expect Patronuses work similarly, unless you were sure of Professor Scabior's exact location at the particular time."
