I can't
I'm failing this
Kenzie, could you

I don't think I have a happy enough memory for patronus casting. Oh well.

It's one of the toughest spells you can cast, anyway. Congrats to those who managed it.

[sovain]

True but it'd help if I had a good memory

[heyitsnia]

Well, you're in luck, because Halloween's a great time to make good memories. Maybe the dance will give you something to work with!

[casperkim]

[...] Everyone does. You just have to figure out the right way to use it.

It can take practice.

[sovain]

Yeah, it still needs to be strong enough though

[casperkim]

I’m familiar with the spell, Delgado. And I stand by what I said. It’s not always easy to find but everyone has one.

[cheerpowers]

You'll get the hang of it, hun. It's a really difficult charm.

Want someone to practice with?

[sovain]

I know it is but I think I would have got it by now if my memory was good enough.

If you want

[cheerpowers]

I don't know. I thought I had the perfect memory but it wasn't working. It was a very different memory than I was originally thinking of. It was all sorts of frustrating. Turning into an animal was easier, I think.

It's up to you, doll. I'm here for you!

[sheepish]

I think that's normal? I couldn't form even a whisp of a patronus last year for the same reason. And things have been stressful lately, yeah?

[sovain]

Could be stress, I suppose. Still think it's probably the memory I'm using though. It's tough to find something that thrilling somewhere in my mind.

[addytives]

So let’s MAKE one

[sovain]

Oh girl! You know just what to say to get my heart going.

[iliya]

Me neither. [...] I do not think I can do it.

Iliya

[casperkim]

[...] You can, Krum. You just have to practice. You know Prince and I will help you.

[sovain]

We gotta learn to make happier memories, don't we? We're such downers.

[cupquake]

It's just, like, super hard.

[sovain]

Like, you think? I'm aware.

[bitterlysweet]

Sorry.

It's like [...] I don't think the memory actually needs to be super deep? Mine was just winning something. I tried to think of something more patronus-worthy and it just kept fucking me up.

[sovain]

Maybe not deep, but something I would think means something.

[heathclifflacey]

RIGHT. What Spence said. It doesn't have to be profound or whatever. I just thought about QUIDDITCH. Have you tried thinking about Quidditch? That means something to you, right?

[heresie]

I can't do it either.

[sovain]

You've still got plenty of time to get it

[byebyebirdies]

Now I don't know if I ever TRULY knew HAPPINESS

[heresie]

Have you ever been in love? I think falling in love might be the only way to cast a patronus.
