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?"
Oh, Violet wanted to earn house points so badly, but she knew she couldn't hope to cast a corporeal Patronus in this class, when she had only managed to come up with a whisper of smoke (if she had even done that--it was so faint, she wasn't sure).
She sighed and walked over to stand by Professor Schirmer to see if she had any ideas. Once there, she tried to recapture her happy feelings from earlier to see if anything might happen again, but it was hard now that she felt discouraged.
