 Post 1: thinking... or rather failing to think Jupiter's Satellite
As Tora had been working on her patronus for awhile, she already knew her happy memory. It was the one where she actually got her Hogwarts letter which proved she wasn't a squib like her parents. But... after all this time she still couldn't conjure a proper one. What if this wasn't the happiest memory she had? Though she had been certain before, confident even, a sliver of doubt flitted across Tora's mind.
Her brow furrowed as she sat, head on her hands, thinking about that day when she got her letter. If she was having doubts did that mean that this wasn't the best memory to use? She struggled to think of something better. Anything. It was pretty depressing, thinking about how hard it was to come up with a happy memory. Not that she hadn't had great times! She laughed hard and often, especially around friends, but those piecemeal memories couldn't add up to the memory that she needed.
By this point, Tora had completely discarded her first memory. It obviously wasn't going to work anymore, but now she was stuck. Could she use a feeling instead of a memory? She couldn't remember if the Professor had mentioned anything about that and was too embarrassed to say so. Ugh, she was a mess.
