Really impressed with how well everyone is doing in the Patronus sessions. Remember, it's an incredibly complex spell, so don't be too down if you're having trouble.

If anyone's interested in practicing a bit more [...] feel free to ward me. Won't even get weird about what your happy memory is. Promise.

Hey. Sweet murder prank today. As if you all didn't have enough fun going on, already, tomorrow is the start of Mr. Calderon-Boot's Pre-Apparition licensure classes.

Not sixteen? Not in Charms? No problem. You can still attend.

Apparition's another big one. So, just wanted to see if anyone had any questions, beforehand.

A murder prank that promptly got dismissed. I personally thought it was very creative.

No appreciators of good art here, I suppose.

Right? No one was harmed. In fact, laughing can be considered cathartic.

I'm not sure I can do it, even with the extra help.

I, personally, witnessed nothing but joy.

With Appa Oh [...] Never hurts to try. It's a tough, tough spell, but if you keep at it, you'll get it. If you want we can go over some alternative techniques, in person, sometime this week?

Involuntary joy, but yea.

[Lucas]
But it was so easy for I can do difficult spells, though. And my mom is an Obliviator! If she knew I couldn't do it when other sophomores were getting it, [...] it would be a big deal. Maybe my memory isn't happy enough?

Plenty of powerful witches and wizards can't conjure a corporeal patronus, but at the very least you're going to leave the sessions able to conjure something and defend yourself. That's more than a lot of adults can do.

It's certainly something to try. Maybe you can think of a time you felt particularly happy, but also safe. Even something as simple as a memory like waking up from a really nice nap can work for some people. It's all about the feeling it invokes.
