 #2 more memory thinking and wand movement ½ EagleBrain ♥ Creeperdoodle ♥ Raven Dor ♥ Berry ♥ ½ Team House Elf
Twirling his wand in hand, Zeke considered his options, and avery early memory sprang to mind. He remembered receiving a knuckle sandwich, again, and again, and again. The taste of blood from his cut lip, the sucker punch to the gut, his shoulders aching from being held back. She'd intervened then, saved him... kept him safe... patched him up. It was cold out, but she was warm. It was him against the world, but he wasn't alone.
Deciding to let that memory be for now, he focused his attention on practicing the wand movement, letting his hand guide his wand in a circular fashion, small at first and then wider, but really that was the EASY part.
He surely couldn't get THAT part wrong.
Nevertheless, he practiced it a few more times. Just to be sure.
If he was being completely honest with himself, as much as he wanted to see and use his patronus, he also wanted to shield it and hide it, never let it see the light of day. It was a personal thing in that sense.... but something that would protect him, and so as vulnerable as it made him, he would try his best anyway.
