⎯۰ ۪۪۫۫ · 🌊

𝗕𝗜𝗥𝗗𝗦 𝗠𝗘𝗟𝗢𝗗𝗜𝗢𝗨𝗦 𝗖𝗛𝗜𝗥𝗣𝗜𝗡𝗚, the sound of the lake water roaring, and pure white snow scattered filling the fertile land.

It was morning, before Cassie was about to do her class today, she seemed to be still in her room.

Cassie was not alone, she was with Hermione who was busy talking. Hermione listened to Cassie's explanation seriously.

"You know what, Hermione?"

"No, you haven't told me yet."

Cassie snorted.
"I think⎯ I love someone.."

Hermione widened, a wide smile appeared on her face. "IS IT TRUE???"

Cassie nodded.

Hermione then laughed looking like pleasure blossomed in her heart at that moment.

"Who do you like, Cassie?"

Cassie narrowed her eyes, actually she wasn't sure she wanted to tell Hermione how she felt.

But finally she decided. Cassie took a deep breath then told Hermione in front of her to listen more closely.

"Harry."

Hermione gasped backwards. Her eyes were still wide open, her mouth was wide open and her heart was still speechless.

Cassie looked at Hermione doubtfully. "Do not tell anyone!"

Hermione frowned and nodded. Her legs, which were originally folded on the bed, now she lowered her long legs to the floor and asked Cassie curiously.

"You like Harry?!" Hermione said still surprised.

Cassie rolled her eyes. "Yeaaah!!"

Hermione tilted her head and her hair looked neatly down.
"Since when?"

Cassie was silent for a moment. "This year."

Hermione nodded her head in understanding.

Once again, Cassie warned her best friend Hermione. "Hermione, don't tell anyone about this!"

"Okay, but Ron needs to know⎯ "

"DONT!" Cassie cut in real quick.
"DONT, HERMIONE! I say, don't tell anyone, ESPECIALLY RON AND HARRY!!!!"

No wonder Cassie spoke like that. Firstly, Cassie didn't trust Ron because he's the closest bestfriend to Harry.

Second, it would be stupid for Harry to find out about Cassie's feelings for him so soon.

Hermione narrowed her eyes.

"Alright, I promise!" She said holding up two fingers.

Cassie breathed a sigh of relief, she then stood up from her seat and invited Hermione to go to the potions class.

"Let's go to class."

"Let's go!!"

Finally the two best friends walked to open the door of the women's room.

KNOCK KNOCK

CKLEK

The sound of someone who apparently Ron and Harry knocked at the same time as Cassie opened the bedroom door.

Cassie's heart suddenly stopped when as she opened the door her face was so close to Harry's.

Blue eyes, messy hair and a sweet face. Again, it made Cassie feel like she wanted to fly into space.

"Hi?" Harry said.

"H-hi.." Cassie stammered.

Hermione silently behind the two held back laughter seeing Cassie's awkward behavior.

"Uhm, you guys are going to potions class?" Harry asked.

Cassie came to her senses, she immediately stepped back and answered Harry.

"Sure, you guys can go first..."

Harry nodded seeing Cassie, he then walked away followed by Ron and Hermione.

Hermione seemed to be patting Cassie on the shoulder as she passed.

A moment when her three friends were already a few steps ahead of Cassie. She exhaled, she saw Harry walking from behind and smiled warmly, so warmly.

⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯۰ ۪۪۫۫ · 🌊

After potions class, which had become Cassie's favorite subject, the Four Golden friends walked out of the room together.

Cassie was seen walking behind Harry and Ron with Hermione holding her books.

Hermione said. "Cass, what are you doing after this?"

Cassie winced. "You mean?" She asked turning around.

"To Harry. You and Harry, what are you going to do?"

Cassie was even more astonished by Hermione's inconsequential and nosy questions. She glared at Hermione beside her.

"You know, Mione? I like him, but I'll only consider him as my best friend."

Hermione opened her mouth. "As far as friends?? Why?"

Cassie tilted her head to glance at Hermione. "Because.. nothing can break friendly relations!" Cassie said smiling brightly.

Hermione smiled broadly at Cassie's answer.

The moment the four of them reached the crossroads Harry appeared to be walking in a different direction from his other three.

Harry turned around.
"I'm going to see Professor Lupin. You guys go first, okay?"

"Professor? For what?" Ron asked.

"I will learn how to⎯ kill Black." Harry answered firmly.

Hermione agreed, she then responded to her beloved friend. "Ohh, alright. Good Luck!"

Harry smiled nodding, he then turned his body and started walking towards Professor Lupin's room.

"Wait, Harry!"

Harry turned, as well as Hermione and Ron who saw Cassie who seemed to chase Harry a few steps.

"May I come with you?" Cassie asked Harry.

Harry paused as if he was thinking. "Uhm..alright."

Cassie smiled showing a row of teeth, she then walked with Harry. Not forgetting to wave at Ron and Hermione.

Arriving at Professor Lupin's room which was so warm and full of magical furniture, Cassie put her pile of books on one table.

Cassie then followed Harry who walked deeper.

Harry looked around. "Where's Professor?"

"Hi, kid." Professor Lupin call suddenly came from upstairs.

Cassie and Harry looked at each other smiling.

Then Professor Lupin realized that Harry had brought his friend.

"Oh, Ms. Diggory. You want to study too?"

Cassie gasped. "O-oh no, Professor. I'll just accompany Harry.."

Professor Lupin nodded, as he walked down the stairs one by one he smiled.

Professor Lupin appeared to glance between Harry and Cassie several times.

"You guys are so much like James and Lily."

Harry opened his mouth in surprise, he looked at Cassie with a sweet smile.
As for Cassie, it felt like her heart was on fire.

How could it not be, a Professor a.k.a friend of Harry Potter's father said that Harry and Cassie were similar to James and Lily, Harry's mother. Harry Potter's beloved mother, his crush or... his dearest friend.

"So you sure you're going to learn this, Harry?" Asked the blonde Professor to make sure.

"I'm sure, Professor." Harry answered so firmly.

"You're about to learn Patronus Magic. It's a difficult spell that acts as a shield to protect the wizard from the evil attacks of the Dementors."

Obviously Professor Lupin was walking towards Harry.

When he was in front of Harry, Professor Lupin walk surrounded Harry.

"To be able to cast Patronus magic, you must have a memory that is not just a memory."

"But very strong happy memories!"

Harry started to close his eyes. "You can, Harry?"

Harry smiled impatiently. "I can."

The Professor sits on a crate. He looked at Harry while guiding him carefully.

"Now, focus and explore your past...think of your fondest memories."

The Professor stood up from his seat. "Then cast the spell. Expecto Patronum."

"Expecto Patronum."

"Good."

Cassie was still smiling looking at Harry who was studying smartly.

Harry began to open his eyes, and the Professor was getting ready to open the big chest he was sitting in earlier.

"Wish you luck, Harry."

"Thanks, Cassie."

Harry started to take his wand out of his trouser pocket.

The chest is open. And from inside the chest emerged a large Dementor ready to pounce on Harry.

Harry swung his wand in the air.
"Expecto Patronum!"

"Expecto Patronum!!" He had cast the spell twice, but the pitch-black Dementor had not disappeared.

Cassie who saw that was worried about Harry. She was worried if the Dementor would actually attack Harry later.

"Expecto⎯ ex..pecto⎯ " Harry's breath was getting labored. Harry took a deep breath but failed. "Expecto..."

Instantly, Harry's body fell to the floor, his eyes tightly closed. Harry passed out limp from not being able to attack the Dementors with the Patronum spell.

Cassie gasped, she ran over to Harry.

"HARRY!" Cassie started to worry and shook the body of her fallen friend. "Harry!...WAKE UP!!"

Professor Lupin smiled looking at Cassie who was worried about Harry. Just like Lily and James already, he thought.

"Calm down, Ms. Diggory. He'll be up soon."

Cassie trusts the angelic heart Professor Lupin. She looked at Harry worriedly.

Before long, the Professor's words were right. Harry woke up from his fainting that was less than five minutes.

Cassie breathed a sigh of relief and smiled brightly at Harry. Cassie looked at Harry lovingly.

Cassie held Harry's cheek.
"You alright?"

Harry smiled faintly, he held Cassie's angelic hand against his cheek. "There's nothing for you to worry about, Cassie."

Professor Lupin faked a cough.
"Akhem. Uhm..alright, duplicate James and Lily." He teased.

Cassie and Harry looked up at the same time. Cassie smiled shyly and released her grip on Harry's face.

Harry then stood up, not forgetting he offered his hand to Cassie who was still sitting down and helped Cassie up.

Cassie smiled, she then returned to the previous place to keep Harry company.

"I can't believe you're doing this the first time Harry. But that's okay." Professor said.

The professor who teaches Defense Against the Dark Arts seems to be taking something from his coat pocket.

He handed Harry a chocolate. "Here, eat. You'll feel better."

Seeing a Professor who gave chocolate to his friend, Cassie chuckled.

The Professor noticed this, so he stood up to Harry's friend with a smile.

"I always do that. Seriously, it works." He said making Cassie a little chuckle.

"Here, Diggory, you eat too." Said Professor 'kind' Lupin who now also gave chocolate to Cassie.

"Thank you Professor! You have been very kind to Harry."

Professor Lupin just laughed at Cassie's words. He then returned to Harry who was now ready to study again.

"It's like a Boggart, Harry. How you beat it depends on what you think."

Professor Lupin continued his words and asked. "What were you thinking earlier?"

Harry who was not far at the end of room answered.

"I imagined when I was riding a broomstick⎯ " Harry answered doubtfully.

Professor Lupin snorted softly, he shook his head.
"That's not good. It could be bad."

Hearing that words, make Harry let out a desperate sigh, he walked over to the flaming candles above the bone-shaped candle.

As Harry held the fire slowly, he said something from his heart.

"There⎯ there are happy memories, but not that exaclty happy."
"What are my fondest memories? I don't think I have any."

Cassie seemed to understand Harry's feelings, she opened her mouth.

"How about you imagine your mother, Harry?" Cassie suggested.

Harry turned and nodded. "You understand me."

Cassie smiled sweetly at Harry's words about her.

Harry sighed and pointed his wand at the large closed chest.

"Let's try again."

Professor Lupin was pleased with the determination of a teenager like Harry. He smiled and opened the chest containing the Dementor in front of him.

The dementor came back out of the Professor's crate.

Cassie seemed to hold her hands tightly. She really hoped. She whispered to herself.

"Come on, Harry.."

Smoke started to fly around the evil Dementor. The candle flames are starting to go out...
the atmosphere is getting tense.

"Expecto Patronum!!"

Harry now raised his wand high at the Dementor above him.

"EXPECTO PATRONUM!"

Harry grew more determined, his heart cleared and his memory stronger. So he shouted, and tried to beat the Dementor even more.

"EXPECTO-PATRONUM!!!"

Finally, a light came out of Harry's wand. Cassie smiled in awe at the apparition.

Harry's memory of his happiest memory was getting stronger. And so the light from Harry's wand grew brighter, more and stronger.

Finally the long awaited has arrived. The Dementor was defeated by Harry and his amazing Patronum spell.

Harry with his Patronus light demanded the Dementor back into the chest and locked inside.

Professor Lupin laughed happily afterwards.
"Well Done! WELL DONE, HARRY!!"

Same thing with Cassie who was now excitedly running over to Harry.

"YAYY, YOU DID IT!!" Cassie said cheering with a cheerful laugh.

Cassie popped a silly question for Harry. "After this, of course you will teach me, won't you?"

Harry laughed, he smiled a little mischievously.
"I'm not sure. You must have been taught by your brother before."

Cassie chuckled a little. "Haha, Nooo!"

Harry returned Cassie's laughter with his sweet laugh, as well as Professor Lupin who laughed with that two teenagers.
