After the initial burst of using the Patronus Charm to communicate with Lupin, Harry hadn't really been practicing. He should have been, he knew, because it was an important spell, but he hadn't sent one to Lupin, and he hadn't sent one to anyone else. He wanted to send one to Ginny, but hadn't, out of fear of it being visible to the entire Weasley family, and anyone that might be watching them. The last thing he needed was to make everyone aware that he now knew how to use Patronuses to communicate, if his Patronus was recognized. The implications of that were far too dangerous for Harry to be willing to risk it. As it had gone, he had yet to use the spell since he'd managed it the first time.
But when they had to move back into the woods, Harry suggested to Hermione that they practice, rather than immediately going to the tent. Evening was falling - it always fell quickly in the woods - and it was cold outside, but Harry wanted to be outside anyway. He couldn't have said why, but the crisp air felt good on his face.
From where he was sitting against a tree, he conjured his Patronus, performed the charm, and spoke. He could have said something stupid that didn't matter, but he figured while they were at it, they might as well have an actual conversation. "Do you think there's anyone who'd be safe to contact like this?" he asked the Patronus, and then watched it make its way over to Hermione. It was like using telephones in the same room, even if they were out of earshot, and kind of silly. But it was important practice: Harry felt sure that this charm would be something they'd need very badly someday soon.
