PATRONUS STUDY SESSION

Ms. Lilywhite has been teaching a section on casting Patronuses. Every year, she allows non-DADA students to attend extra study sessions she holds after dinner, because she believes a well-formed Patronus is an important life skill. It’s… not, probably, but who’s going to argue with her?

HOW THIS WORKS
If your character attends these sessions or takes DADA, they will at least learn what their patronus will be and will get a partial formation. The mods will roll to see if your character can cast a successful full-bodied patronus.

Occlumency students are presumed to already be well-versed with this spell, as it requires emotional control and self-awareness, which are invaluable skills in Occlumency, especially if you plan on becoming an Auror. Unless you choose otherwise, all Occlumency students automatically succeed, or can already cast the charm.

Occlumency students: Automatic success.
Seniors in DADA: 75% success.
Seniors not in DADA: 50% success.
Juniors in DADA: 65% success.
Juniors not in DADA: 40% success.
Sophomores in DADA: 55% success.
Sophomores not in DADA: 30% success.

Fill out this form if your character takes Occlumency or attends the extra study sessions:

Name:
Year: Sophomore/Junior/Senior
Patronus Form: It can change from the last time we asked you, but this will be your official “canon” answer.
Why?: What does this animal mean, or why is it significant to them?
Their happy memory: What memory finally worked for them?
Their attempt: Any other notes on how it went for them?
Are they in DADA or Occlumency?: This contributes to the likelihood of their success.

Name: Chris Park
Year: Senior
Patronus Form: A super nonimposing deer
Why?: Deer symbolizes compassion, regeneration and sensitivity but deer are also the prime prey, with few actual defenses beyond speed and agility. Deer tend to foresee danger and retreat at the first sight of it.
Their happy memory: It's a montage because it encompasses misty a feeling more than a concrete emotion. It encompasses working hard and succeeding but also his friends (and hockey). Most prominent in the montage are Quinn, Ryan and Levi.
Their attempt: Chris already knows how to cast a patronus. He's fairly decent at clearing his mind and focusing, despite recent emotional issues. But last time, his patronus was an owl. And now it's like a baby deer so he's not exactly sure how to feel about that.
Are they in DADA or Occlumency?: Yeah he's in both.

	actual footage of Quinn trying to play it off like "I'm just so proud of how well he can cast his patronus. I'm not about to laugh. I'M NOT. I CAN'T. I WON'T. SOMEBODY DISTRACT ME FROM HOW PROUD I AM OF PARK, OH GOD." (Reply to this) (Parent)
