Nikolai observed, pleased, as his pupils made the most of the time they had remaining to them. To cast a patronus was a difficult challenge, but it was one the professor witnessed, year after year, students approaching with gusto. By the time the bell-tower rang out signalling the end of class, he was very pleased with the results.
Miss Whitledge had improved on her earlier efforts, casting a corporeal patronus and earning a further ten points for Slytherin.
Mr. Bones had moved ahead quite swimingly, a faint, non-corporeal basset hound leaping forth from the Slytherin's wand tip. Mr. Gemander had achieved at a similar level, his non-corporeal peacock strutting for a few paces before dissipating. Both lads were awarded five points for their respective houses.
Miss Ruskin, Miss Weasley, Miss Fawley, Mr. Macnair, and Miss Lestrange were among those who had accomplished something, though likely (especially in the case of Miss Lestrange) not as much as they wished. Still, Nik made sure to take the time to commend each pupil, even those who had managed nothing like Miss Finch and Miss Selwyn, on their efforts as they left the class.
