.... jk Calderon-Boot offered him extra credit if he went and engaged with the rest of the student body and he REALLY doesn't want to lose his scholarship so. Here he is.
Name: Reid Wainwright Year: Junior Patronus Form: Mute Swan Why?: Swans symbolize grace, balance, unions, purity, effortlessness, love. They're one of the heaviest waterfowl, and they're called "mute" because they're remarkably less vocal than other swans. Mute swans mate for life and are extremely territorial and potentially aggressive. I LOVE BIRDS MATING FOR LIFE IT'S SO ROMANTIC. ♥ Ironic, maybe, since Reid... is not romantic at all, but look, he's an extremely loyal guy.
Some website says "Swan people have to work to embrace their inner beauty and let it shine through. Swan people have a deep devotion to their family and are often self-sacrificing for the sake of their children. It’s only through growth and experience, however, that swans learn just how strong they really are." Their happy memory: The sensation of free falling, followed by the rush of your broom kicking back in as he just skims the tall grass of the fields around Coppertale. Their attempt: Reid can clear his mind like a pro. However, he's god a complex relationship with emotions, and may struggle to feel happy enough to conjure much of anything. Are they in DADA or Occlumency?: Neither.
