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: Casper Kim
Year: Junior
Patronus Form: Lynx
Why?: Lynx are primarily solitary and territorial and don't play well with others. Traditionally, they're associated with secrets (which Casper has an abundance of), controlled power, independence, and aloofness.
Their happy memory: Surprisingly...the Halloween Dance. From the time he spent with Katya to his performance with the Holy Rosicrucians, it was a really good night. This is unexpected, but very efficient. He will never admit this. (Shut up, Levi.)
Their attempt: Casper knows how to summon a Patronus and, despite the recent Amortentia debacle, he's able to focus and clear his mind and summon the snarly little creature almost immediately. Easy.
Are they in DADA or Occlumency?: Yes and yes.
