 Post #2 Mod Babysitter | be curious, not judgmental
With her eyes closed, Sophie focused deeply on her memory of Zander and Tobes - the way their eyes sparkled when they laughed with her, the way they teased her in good humor, and the way they knew exactly how to make her a puddly mess of gleeful bliss - and before long, she was giggling giddily at the mere memory of their time spent together, a wide, toothy grin spread across her face.
No thoughts of the recent friction between them even came to mind. No, the only thing in the world to her right now was her two best friends, the two people who meant the world to her, the three of them as a trio, with their synchronized laughter ringing in her ears.
That simple memory, one that neither of them probably even gave a second thought to, was enough. More than enough, even. The delight was practically bursting from her being.
Powered by the powerful emotion filling her soul, Sophie rose to her feet, lifted her wand and waved it in a circular motion just as she'd done many times before, then cast confidently with a massive smile on her face, "EXPECTO PATRONUM!"
A silver ferret shot from the tip of her wand, just as it had in the dueling arena last term, and the smile that spread all the way up to her eyes never left Sophie's features as the ferret bounced with great speed and agility around the room, twisting between Zander's ankles and popping up to brush against his face in an affectionate manner before bouncing over and perching itself over on Tobes' shoulder and giving him eager patronus!nuzzles against his cheek.
Oops?
