Calvin Evercreech Name: Calvin Evercreech Year: Sophomore Patronus Form:Green Moray Eel Why?: IT'S A SNAKE AND A FISH. Okay, but really: shape shifting, adaptability, wisdom, inspiration, watching unseen, ability to overcome great obstacles, change, travel, and endurance. Morays have a reputation for being cruel and ill-tempered, but in reality they're reclusive and shy, and would rather flee than fight. They only attack humans out of self-defense. They're pretty harmless to humans and can actually be pretty friendly with divers. However, they're still formidable predators with a powerful bite.
Cute detail: there are accounts of fish getting solitary moray eels to help them with hunting by flushing prey out of crevices the fish can't get into. Their happy memory: Seeing Ree on the bus back to Gooseberry at the beginning of this year. Their attempt: Coming up with a happy enough memory is a real struggle for Calvin. Aside from generally being a negative person, his childhood is kind of defined by contention, and being always ready to defend himself. Between all his brothers, all his friends in Slytherin, and some of what happens at Gooseberry, most of his "happy" memories are when he got one over on someone, avoided punishment, dodged getting into a fight, felt smarter than someone else, etc. He really has to sit and think hard to come up with something. Are they in DADA or Occlumency?: DADA
