So in theory it was possible.... just highly unlikely.

Little Bunbury was full of good questions wasn't she? Questions were good. Althea always preferred people to ask rather than stay quiet and misinformed.

Time for the next step. Professor Schirmer addressed the class.

"We know you need a strong happy memory, as well as strong focus and intent, but also sometimes the environment you are in will effect how well you manage a Patronus. Like here you are safe, its warm and light and pleasant, so it stands to reason that it would be easier to actually summon up that happy memory than it would be when faced with a Dementor or Lethifold. We are going to work on our Patronuses today but most of you won't be able to cast one. That's okay though, one day, if you work hard enough, you'll be able to."

But before that.

"I want you to think of your happiest memory. Something strong enough that you can focus on it easily, maybe something that makes you smile. It doesn't have to be relating to love. If you have more than one, lucky you! You can experiment to see which is best. You don't have to share it if you don't want to, but feel free to put your hand up and share if you do."

ooc: we'll continue in about 12-18 hours (depending on how many people post) so you have plenty of time to share or just have your charrie think about a happy memory.

Hmmkay, so it seemed she had sort of....? stumped the professor, though not really, since the woman specialized in charms and not DADA or Transfiguration. Nonetheless, Tori made a mental note to ask Professor Magnus about that one.... cuz she really did want a dragon patronus and wondered if she could be a dragon animagus one day.

Anyway. On to happy memories! This was vital to creating a corporeal patronus, Tori understood that much. But what was her happiest moment? Meeting Paulie? No.... Slytherin winning her first match? No... something more recent...

AHA. She had it now. She'd felt pretty elated once Slytherin had won against Hufflepuff, cuz that meant they were going to the finals. Plus, she managed to block her most shots ever, AND she got a kiss ~~on the forehead~~ by Perfect Prefect Treyen Lockhart after the game!

That was tops. The girl wasn't about to share this memory though, especially not since she saw the Ravenclaw captain/Treyen's kinda-sorta girlfriend sitting just a few feet away...
