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: Cameron Carney
Year:Junior
Patronus Form: Cameron totally expects his patronus to be a peacock, or something else equally flamboyant, but it’s actually a pot bellied pig.
Why?: Pigs can symbolise sloth, over-indulgence, and a slovenly nature. However, pigs are sociable, charming creatures with a large sense of humor. They’re very intelligent, but they’re not generally known for that trait. Because they are sociable, curious, intelligent creatures, they become bored easily without stimulation, and can become obnoxious if not out right destructive.

Pigs are prey animals and foraging omnivores, and unlike boars, are generally known as peaceful rather than aggressive or confrontational.

Pigs are herd animals that need a lot of attention, and easily become lonely. Happy or sad, they are very vocal. Pet potbellied pigs can become easily spoiled, and even if they’re not “top hog”, they can learn sneaky (and not so subtle) ways to get what they want if that behaviour isn’t discouraged.
Their happy memory: Going onstage with his mama last year while she accepted her Magical Country Music Award.
Their attempt: Cameron totally acts like he’s goofing off and not trying, but he’s secretly concentrating and trying to actually accomplish it. He’ll be surprised if he manages it.
Are they in DADA or Occlumency?: Nope and nope.

	When he fails, Cameron defaults to the attitude that he wasn't ever really trying to begin with. "Hey, y'all, look," he says, gesturing to the wispy, squat shape he barely produced, "My peacock is all short and fat and lumpy?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Is the half a dick joke another dick joke in and of itself? (Reply to this) (Parent)
