章 585: Professor Prince Ⅱ

Seeing the students staring intently at her, Georgine firmly instructed them. "Now, if Miss Prince and Mr. Prince would both come to the front, I shall have them both demonstrate the charm."

Rowan and Severus, both make wary faces, but nevertheless they step out of the line and walk up to where Georgine is standing in the middle of the classroom. "Whenever, you please," Georgine said as she stared at the twins.

Taking a deep breath, Rowan half-closes her eyes, before saying, "Expecto Patronum!"

At the same time, Severus cries out, "Expecto Patronum!"

From the tip of each of their wands, a silver creature bursts out. A winged stallion flutters his wings and prances around Severus. While most of the students blankly stare at the female horse reptilian winged creature that flutters around Rowan. The silvery creatures flutter its wings bit, before vanishing through the wall with the winged stallion following right behind in play.

Seeing the still blank expressions on student's faces, Georgine drily says, "I am sure that most of you are all curious about the creature which Miss Prince Patronus is. Most of you have witnessed the invisible creatures that pull the Hogwarts carriages, no?"

The Gryffindor's nod their heads as Georgine further explains, "And no doubt, most of you cannot see said creatures because they are invisible to the eyes of most wizard and witches' unless they have witnessed death, and said creature is known as Thestral's. And Miss Prince's Patronus manifestation is such a creature."

There are obviously startled glances as Georgine continues, "That being said, most wizard and witches cannot conjure a Patronus for lack of magical power or other reasons. But those that can, can produce a wide variety of creatures from a tiny mouse to even that of a dragon. However, most wizards and witches produce regular animal formed Patronus's.

Those that can produce magical type creature Patronus's are very few. It is most unusual to produce a magical type of creatures such as the winged stallion of Mr. Prince or that of the Thestral of Miss Prince. It has nothing to do with one's magical power simply that is how one's power manifests such as Illyius's Patronus. His Patronus was that of a mouse, but of incredible untold power that is still recorded in wizarding history as one of the strongest Patronus's of all time."

Seeing the excited looks on their faces, Georgine hides a pleased expression as she lectures on. "That being said, to produce a Patronus, one must think of powerful emotions, whether it be joy or a single-minded goal. It is different for each wizard and witch. Someone with an animagus form may not even have the same form as their Patronus. Though it is a common enough occurrence that it does occur, but like I said before it that is not usually the case.

I will be candid to you all. Most of you will only ever produce clouds of mist in defense against such dark creatures. To manifest, a Patronus does not necessarily take incredible power, but rather a firm will. It is allowing the world to see the hidden depths of one's soul."

Seeing their eager expressions, Georgine says, "Now I and apprentices, Mr. Prince and Miss Prince will be walking around aiding all of you and correcting wand posture and verbal incantation. You may all pair up in small groups of no more than four."

The Gryffindors hurriedly team up with friends as the marauders remain together to work. Sirius and James team up across from each other, while Lupin and Pettigrew do the same. They all begin to concentrate except for James, who goes through the motions for the moment.

Rowan comes by and sees their frustrated looks. Without a word, Rowan gently corrects posture or motions for them to take a breath, before trying again. Suddenly, large bursts of silvery clouds can be seen emerging from their wands.

"You're all getting there," Rowan said as she saw the delighted expressions on their faces.

Hiding a smile, Rowan says, "To produce a Patronus, it sometimes helps if you can recall a single bright memory in your life. But as Professor Prince said, it is different for everyone. For some, it is memories of a precious person or even that of an important event."

Nodding sagely, they happily return to practicing again. Glancing at James, Rowan says, "I have not seen you yet attempt to cast a Patronus, Potter."

"I wanted to make sure that my wand work and pronunciation were correct first, Prince," James flashed her a neutral grin.

Rowan merely waits for him to try as James recalls his Lily and his son, Harry, and shouts, "Expecto Patronum!"

From the tip of James wand, a silvery creature emerges that resembles another's Patronus. James turns pale in shock at seeing his usual stag simple gone, and in its place is a male Thestral which stared back at him and let out a loud huff. The Thestral nudges him with its nose, before leaping away and vanishing through the wall.

There is an awkward lapse of silence until Georgine says, "15 points to Gryffindor! Now everyone else please return to their own tasks at hand!"

Rowan flashes James a deep measuring glance, before walking away. James sickly grins at Sirius and Lupin, who both just stare at him. Pettigrew merely shakes his head and mutters under his breath, "I told you so."

Seeing James pale sickly-looking shocked face, Sirius says, "Don't worry, Prongs." Pausing to dramatically wink, "At least you're still a stag."

James blinks in obvious shock as they had not been able to become animagus until the spring of their fifth year. How in Merlin's name were they already animagus?!

Seeing James obvious astonishment, Lupin leans over to quietly whisper into his ear, "Rowan and Severus helped us back in our third year. Rowan did not take the animagus potion, but Severus did. He's a winged stallion just like his Patronus."

Lupin almost leans away, before quickly adding, "Also, Severus's codename is Bramble. He helped us also create the Marauder's map."

James numbly nods his head unable to believe all the changes that were happening right before him. A part of him was relieved to not be the idiot that he was in his youth. Another half of him was rather dismayed. He did not really know what to make of the situation as he remained lost in his own thoughts for the rest of the classroom.

The whispers that had erupted around the classroom continued for the rest of the class as the Gryffindor's speculatively eyed, James and Rowan. Everyone knew that the two of them had dated back in their third year and had remained friends after breaking up. But still, it looks as though there were still passionate embers there. By dinner time the gossip would be all over the school with whispers of Patronus soulmates.

Typically, no one would say otherwise, but for two students to have such rare magical Patronus's it was an indication of similar souls. Said individuals often became close friends or even romantically involved ending in marriage. And the two individuals in questions were certainly friends in the eyes of the rest of the school. Not that any student at Hogwarts would admit too, but they were all a nosey bunch, but what did one expect when one was stuck in the middle of nowhere for nine months out of the year?
