Copernicus didn't see ANYTHING in the next room except for the door. It was just dark and UGH. Creepy. And cold too. Remarkably cold, considering summer was coming and they weren't living in an icebox. He rubbed his arms and headed for the door across the room. The sound of a rattling breath drew his attention, and Cope glanced at the door again. The curtain hanging across it moved, and the rattling was coming from inside.
So not a curtain. A dementor. He should have realized it sooner, considering the plunging temperature and the fact that he was thinking about how tired he was and how much he missed his mother and how his father never really loved him and now had a new family and how Plymouth got every good thing in the world and Cope had nothing and how he wanted to just sit down and let the dementor come. But that wasn't REALLY him, and some small part of his brain knew it.
He shook his head and raised his wand. Just one happy thought, and he could drive that dementor away from the door. Just one... and the dementor was closer, wasn't it? Was it coming for him? He strained his memory for his happy memory. What was it? Plymouth. Having a brother and a friend. Not being alone.
Cela.
"EXPECTO PATRONUM," Copernicus traced a delicate 'e', tipping his wand right at the dementor and was gratified to see his owl burst from the tip like a great silver hope. The bird beat its wings in the dementor's face, driving it backward and away from the door. Once it was clear, Copernicus made a mad dash, throwing himself against the door just as his patronus faded behind him.
