The party last night was wild, but according to the school rules, they still had to go to bed by 9 PM. However, the night curfew rules only stipulated that nobody could roam around in the school from 9 PM to 6 AM. But, Magnus and everyone else were in their common room, hence there was no rule to make them sleep.

So Magnus dragged the party till 11 PM. Professor Slughorn and McGonagall were pretty angry with him but he just gave them a glass of sherbet and told them to just chill. He slowly made them believe that this was not a party for fun instead it was a welcoming party for the new students.

Everyone was happy and enjoyed the evening, that's all that mattered to Magnus. That night, everyone had the best sleep in weeks because they had gotten so tired by all the dancing.

...

Next Morning,

When Magnus came to the common room, slow calming music at low sound was already playing. Some students were getting ready, tying their ties around their necks, some were just sitting and chatting with their friends. Others were leaving for the Great Hall. But one thing was clear, the music had turned the cold and dark common room into a pleasant and warm gathering hall.

When they all saw Magnus, they happily greeted him. Even those who never talked to him before now greeted him like he was best friends with them from the moment he stepped into the school.

"Hehe, good morning, everyone. Although there was no alcohol yesterday, I hope everyone is fine, I don't want to get nagged by Headmaster later." He jokingly said.

"Oh, a few had tripped and sprained their ankles dancing yesterday, rest is fine." The head boy informed him.

"MAG! I put the music on this morning. I learned how to use the machine by myself." Emma ran up to him.

Magnus smiled and patted her head, "Yes yes... Good girl."

*BAM*

She smacked his hand away after realising something, "I'm not your dog, hmph. Let's go now, it's Moody's class... he's known to be... moody."

"Haha... yeah... I got to appear in his classes too, he finally found a position of power over me so he's going to torture me to his heart's content. He'll take payback for all the nicknames I gave him." Magnus appeared sad. He knew he'd have to work a lot this year to get good marks in Defence against the Dark arts.

*YAWN* "Let's go." Ragnar tiredly arrived and walked out of the hall.

"What are you yawning for? You were snoring the whole night." Magnus asked him.

"Had a few bad dreams. Haha, you had a snake running after you and then I came to save you, but the snake then multiplied and the bastard bit me... Oh, the snake had a nose like a human, it was weird." Ragnar tried to explain his dream.

"Ugh... your dreams are just as stupid as you are. By the way, why isn't Sev coming? Is he all right?" Magnus asked, he had not seen Severus since after they went to sleep.

"Don't know, I think he went to class earlier." Ragnar shrugged.

Soon after, they arrived at the Defence Against The Dark Arts classroom. It was now situated in the basement of the school in a bigger classroom that could double as a hall.

Today, something different was going on, because all the desks had been removed and all of the students who came earlier were standing on the side.

"What happened?" Magnus asked Elna(South African girl).

"Hey, Magnus. It's nothing, Professor said he's going to teach us some practical spells today. Oh, I heard you had a party last night in your common room? I wish it was in the great hall. Would have freshened everyone up." She sighed.

Emma, pushing Magnus to the side, came forward, "Elna, come, we will stand together today and practice whatever spell the professor teaches us."

Magnus sighed, ~This girl.~

*BAM* The door opened.

"All right, listen, everyone, I want your full attention at me today, I am going to teach you how to whoop some wizard asses." Moody entered with stride. As soon as he said some adult words, some girls from Ravenclaw raised their hands. Moody grunted, "I do not care about your feelings miss Timber, if you think that me saying some curses is bad then wait till you are fighting a real wizard, a wizard that wants to kill you.

"Now, focus on me." He continued.

He waved his wand and made a blackboard roll towards them. He started to write some words on it. "There are three curses that one should be very careful about. These are the ones that usually the Dark Wizards use, they are called Cruciatus Curse, Imperius Curse and Killing Curse.

"All three are banned for normal use by the Ministry. So, what can we even learn? Counter-curses, Reductor Curse and Aqua Eructo are the three main curses that you will be mastering in the year's time. The one who can't even initiate these curses will fail my class." Moody warned while looking at Ragnar.

Magnus patted his brother's back, "Huh, he's threatening you. I will deal with him later, he dares not bully my brother."

"NO! He has challenged me. I will show everyone this time, I can also cast amazing charms." there was a fire in Ragnar's eyes.

Moody continued, "Now, I know that some of you have already mastered these curses, yes I'm looking at you, Mr Pendragon. I know you have mastered nearly every spell all the way until the last year. So, I have a special challenge prepared for you. You are going to be mastering one of the hardest charms, the Patronus Charm. I know Flitwick is your Charms teacher but he lacks the vision to teach the right thing. This charm can help you greatly." Moody advised him, as well as secretly winked at Magnus with the fake eye. But poor Moody did not know that his fake eyes didn't look as if winking, instead it seemed to be rolling crazily.

"Yes professor, I wanted to learn it too. I think it will be good to get rid of some evil spirits." Magnus said while looking at the Gang of Slytherins. He was mocking them since the whole house was already in Magnus' pocket now.

"CLASS! Let's start." Moody started. Before teaching Magnus, he gave the wand movement pattern for all to memorise. This in itself would take tens of minutes.

Then he came to Magnus. "Okay, casting a Patronus is simple, and I believe if anyone it should be you to make the best Patronus because of how much you love your family."

He started explaining everything he knew about the spell. "Patronus Charm is the most famous and one of the most powerful defensive charms known to wizardkind. There are two types of Patronuses: corporeal which means a Patronus with a particular shape and form and incorporeal Patronus. Incorporeal Patronuses have no particular shape and do not protect against dementors the way corporeal Patronuses do.

"Seeing the history and their long affinity with humans, it is normal that among the most common Patronuses when cast are dogs, cats, and horses, this is if the wizard can create a corporal one. The vast majority of witches and wizards are unable to produce any form of Patronus, and to create even an intangible one is generally considered a mark of superior magical ability.

"To successfully cast the spell, you need to begin by mustering the happiest memory you can think of, the happier the memory, the better the charm will work. Alternatively, one could imagine a scenario that would make for a very happy memory. The next step is to begin drawing circles with your wand so as to increase the power of the spell. You must then say the incantation, 'Expecto Patronum' the Patronus will come from the tip of the wand and can be directed towards a target by pointing one's wand at said target.

"So, you better start with focusing on your happiest memory first," Moody advised him and went to check the rest.

Magnus tried to cast the charm after he imagined his mother's reaction when she will find out about the hospital he built for her. It was a really happy memory for Magnus.

Hell, he would even have dreams of that day. So it wasn't weird that he chose that to be his memory for creating the Patronus. But Magnus had no idea if he could have a corporal, and even if he did, what would it be? Can it be a dragon? Because only that animal is consistent with his mind, nature and blood.
