Harry’s instructions repeat over and over in your mind as you search for the perfect memory to use. You turn to glance around the room. Most of your friends have already cast their Patronus. They’re flying, running, galloping, or bouncing around the air as the witches and wizards watch them in awe.

You close your eyes tight, wand at the ready. Your heart flutters when you choose a particular memory of yourself and Harry together. You know it’s the one to use when you open your eyes and catch the reflection of yourself smiling in the mirrored wall.

You clear your throat before speaking clearly, “Expecto Patronum!”

On your very first try, a silvery stream of light appears from your wand. Out of it comes [P]. You watch it runs around you for a few seconds, making you giggle.

It then runs/flies around the room, circling Ginny and Hermione. Then it swerves before Ron, Fred, and George. The [P] finally runs/flies past Luna before swooshing over Harry’s head as he ducks.

He steps back, admiring it. His face widens into a grin, and he looks over at you. “Fantastic, Y/N!” He exclaims. “Truly, amazing!”

You nod happily. “Thank you!”

Your focus diminishes when Harry steps closer to you. The [P] slowly disappears, all or your concentration now on him instead.

“Must have been a good memory.” Harry lays a hand on your arm. “What were you thinking of?” You pause for a moment, wondering if you should tell him. His hand leaves your arm, and you shiver, like you are cold without his touch. “You don’t have to tell me.”

“You.” You blurt out before switching to a whisper. “Us.. our, uh.. kiss the other day.”

You feel your cheeks flush a little, and Harry full-on grins at you. “Really?”

You nod. “Truly.. one of the best memories I have.”

In a second of confidence, you wink at him. He laughs and then steps back into the middle of the room. He goes back into 'professor mode’ - still smiling. “Okay, Y/N. Concentrate. Remember, your Patronus can only protect you for as long as you stay focused.”

You picture the night of your first kiss once more, and Harry watches you in wonder when [P] appears almost instantly, then runs/flies around the room for a second time, looping around the two of you in figure eights for a few moments.
