Changer 23 : Patronus

This was now Monday. We were eating in the Great Hall.

"I don't want to go to class." I sighed in a childish way.

"You don't have the choice." Harry smiled. "And transfiguration and DADA are not the worse."

"Yeah I like Perrin." Hermione agree.

"But my bed is even better." I argued. "Of course it would be perfect if I wasn't alone though." I added quietly so that only Harry could hear.

Harry raised his eyebrow discretely at me. I smiled cheekily at him.

I felt like I had been with Harry forever. As if we had always been together. It was so natural.

"We are going to be late!" Hermione squealed suddenly.

Ron sighed, Harry laughed at them, and I got up lazily. The boys followed us to transfiguration. 

The lesson passed quickly as I laughed with Laliah and Harry. Mcgonagall didn't say anything. She even smiled a few times at me and Harry teasing each other.

"Hello everyone."

"Hello Professor Perrin."

"Today, another practise lesson. I will let you try to produce a patronus again. Those who can't, don't give up, really, even some really good wizards can't do it."

We all nodded. I smiled as I joined Harry.

"Shall we try?"

"Er... Harry.."

"Yeah?"

"I can't do it."

"Try now."

"Do it before."

He nodded. He pulled out his wand and said the incantation. "Expecto Patronum."

A beautiful silver stag ran around the room. The patronus even turned around me. 

"Well done Potter!! Corporeal one!" Perrin seemed amazed.

"Your turn." He said as his stag was still running around us.

I thought of a happy memory. All the memory that made me sad Friday were now the happiest I could remember. Harry's return came to my mind. I was in heaven in his arms.

"I have a memory."

He smiled at me. "You can do it."

I let the happiness of the memory running in my veins. I smiled without even knowing it. "Expecto Patronum!" I said. A beautiful horse joined the stag and something really strange happened.

The two patronuses danced together around Harry and I, and soon, they became one. The two silver lights behind them had become one. Everyone was watching the strange spectacle. It was beautiful. Harry and I were surrounded by the light. The patronuses, or patronus, was glowing more than any of the others. There were a few gasps. Perrin was looking at us, as if we were some extremely rare creatures, in awe.
Eventually the light became normal, and we were just in a strange silver circle, that was fading slowly.

There was suddenly a little move from the light, and I grabbed Harry's hand as a reflex. Bad idea. As soon as our skin touched the light glowed again and formed at sort of shield around us. I would have blushed, normally, but I was too busy wondering what was happening.

"Stop touching each other." We heard Perrin say. We reluctantly obeyed. The light slowly faded again. We were only surrounded by the circle once again.

"It will fade eventually." Perrin said. He seemed shocked. Well everyone was I guess, but he seemed to know why.

"What.. what was that?" Harry asked.

"You two will stay with me at the end of the lesson." He just said.

We just nodded.

"Go back to work everyone." The professor said.

Harry and I didn't talk. We just watched Ron's Jack Rusell chasing Hermione's otter in awe. I didn't know what to say. I looked at Harry. He was staring at his hand. The one I had grabbed. I suddenly realized that his hand was shining a bit, and as I looked at mine, I realised that so was it.

We looked up to each other at the same time.

"What is that?" I asked him.

"I have absolutely no idea.." he replied.

"This is all so weird..." I sighed.

We stayed like that until the bell rang.

Everyone walked out of the classroom, leaving Harry and I alone with Professor Perrin.

"How long has it been?" He asked suddenly.

"What?" Harry and I said at the same time.

"Those strange things.. "

"Like the Patronuses?" Harry asked. I knew he was trying to act as if we didn't understand what Perrin was talking about.

"You two.. you are something."

I looked at Harry.. what did that mean? He seemed to be as confused as I was.

"Excuse me professor, what exactly does that mean?" He asked.

"You'll see. Just stay together for now. I'll go to Dumbledore."

"Dumbledore?" Harry asked.

"His portrait."

"Oh."

"Now off to eat you two. And stick together. You hear me?"

"Yes professor." We replied awkwardly. We clearly were both totally confused and lost.

We walked out of the room without a word. We went to the Great Hall silently.

We ate in silence, bearing all the looks from everyone. This morning event must be the story of the week. I thought.

Hermione didn't dare say a thing. She must have been confused too.

We finished out plates and got up to go to the next lesson. History of magic. I sighed again.

"Oh." Ron said stopping in the corridor. Hermione bumped into him.

"What again Ronald?" She asked.

"I forgot my History Of Magic Book." He said.

"I'll go find it with you. " she said and grabbed his arm to lead him to the Gryffindor Tower.
I knew she did it on purpose, so I would be alone with Harry.

We just walked together. It was seriously getting on my nerves. All those things that I just couldn't understand.

"Harry." I said. He stopped and turned around to look at me.

"Yes?"

"Talk to me."

"What do you want me to say?" He asked quickly.

"I don't know! Just something!"

"I don't have a clue either about what's happening. Even Hermione doesn't know okay?"

"I don't care about that!"

"Yeah?" He asked.

"No! Whatever is happening is a bit embarrassing.. but that's not the problem right now.."

"Then what is?"

"I don't want us to ignore each other for a week again."

"We can't anyway." He stated sternly. "We would end up depressed and we would have strange dreams again."

"Do you think that's why we had nightmares ?"

"I don't know. What does that change anyway? "

"Why do you act like that?"

"Because here we are. Arguing because we have absolutely no clue what's happening to us. Because we can't be apart. Because we are not normal. Because nothing can be normal in my damn life!"

"Harry.."

"I'm once again people conversation's new subject! Why can't I live a normal life like everyone? Why is everything always so strange!! Why does it always have to be about me ?!"

"Harry!"

"What?!"

I wanted to yell at him, to tell him I was there too, but instead, and without even thinking about it, I hugged him. I didnt even know why I did that. I just knew that he needed me. I felt his strong arms holding me tightly.

"Sorry." He said.

I didnt even answer, I just smiled against his chest.
