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: Jonny Wilde
Year: Junior.
Patronus Form: Snow leopard.
Why?: Idk, you guys. Does this not seem like the kind of patronus a super pretentious sullen teen poet would have? Like. It's an endangered species, there aren't that many of them -- special snowflake points there. They're also solitary animals who don't live in packs and really only interact when there's something in it for them, which doesn't completely describe Jonny, but it definitely describes the way he thinks he behaves.

Symbolically, apparently snow leopard is all about intuition and trusting your physical instincts. Snow leopard is supposed to show you how to access peace and higher vibrations of being, etc. Jonny is good at the former and could use some help when it comes to the latter, so. Leopard it is!
Their happy memory: He thinks about how it feels to fly, either on a broom or doing some kind of trick on his board.
Their attempt: Jonny's intelligent and a high performer in his classes. That said, he is a moody lil bitch sometimes? It'd be easy for someone else to wind him up, and then he'd either do REALLY WELL out of spite or just fall flat on his face. That said, he's definitely conjured a patronus before and has the skill to do it again.
Are they in DADA or Occlumency?: Both.
