Alyssa decided to try to produce a patronus again. She knew that the chances of her producing a corporeal one was totally zero to none. As for a non corporeal one, well the chances of that were maybe 20%...when she was a little older and more experienced. For now she just wanted to see what kind of memories would help produce a better result for her. She knew that the best memory still was the one she had tried using earlier, so she decided to use that memory. Taking a deep breath, Alyssa pointed her wand and closed her eyes to help her concentrate and capture that memory again. As she relived those moments on the Quidditch field again, she began to feel that same intense joy and happiness she had felt that day. With a smile on her face, she opened her eyes....she decided that closing her eyes would be stupid because she wanted to be able to see what was happening, if anything ever did....and said the incantation to the charm "Expecto Patronum".

She saw something shoot out of her wand. Something silvery and whispy. She had done it!! But then when the silvery substance didn't grow or change or even disappear, Alyssa knew something was wrong. She wiggled her wand and the silvery, whispy thing, wiggled too. With a sigh of disappointment, Alysss stopped pointing her wand and brought it closer to inspect it. Sure enough, there was a piece of silvery string hanging from the tip of it!! It was from one of the streamers hanging above her head. Alyssa had failed again.
