So, given this conversation between Marc and I (go and read it first), what do you think your patronus would be?

And speaking of fear… for almost a year now Madeline has been afraid of the dark. She wants more than just the nightlight on which is right beside her pillow. For a while she’s was talking of monsters and shadows in her room. Tonight she wanted Marc to go the two steps with her to her [...]
