Memory: The happy memory I’d use to cast my Patronus would be the day I met my current boyfriend. It was the second day of classes during the Spring 2009 semester, and I was sick like a dog. It was the worst cold I’ve ever had and, of course, I HAD to be in class that day. I walked into the classroom and sat in the very back row, with my sweatpants and hoodie and snotty, rubbed-raw nose. (Seriously. It was so attractive. /sarcasm) I sat down next to this blond, bespectacled guy and suddenly realized the chair I was sitting in was broken. I sighed and said under my breath “Ugh, really, universe?” and then heard scraping next to me. The blond guy had stood up, scooted his chair over to me, and then he said “Here, you can have my chair.” It was such a sweet gesture on a day where I felt absolutely horrible and where nothing was going right, and it immediately told me so much about his kind and gentle character. We've been happily dating ever since, and thinking about how special our first moment was fills me with so much joy and happiness that I dare a Dementor to take me on!
