There were many things that Sapphire Black enjoyed in life but teaching a group of students in a secret club was one of her top things.

"What's your Patronus, Saph?" Alicia questioned that afternoon as she watched her hummingbird patronus fly around.
"Yeah, we want to see!" Deam Thomas added.
Sapphire let a small smile take over her lips as everyone turned to her. It hadn't even crossed her mind that she had yet to cast the spell in front of of them, despite Alex's eagle flying around the room most of the time.
