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: Roxie Barringer
Year: Junior
Patronus Form: Goliath Birdeater
Why?: It's like a miniature acromantula! (Which would delight her in and of itself.) And the internet assures me that spiders are symbols of "energy, ability to be receptive to new environments, creativity, and patience." Also, spiders are big on dangling from heights suspended only by strings.
Their happy memory: She has a couple, though most of them involve heights in some form: Sitting up on her father's shoulders when she was little, dangling upside-down on her broom, the first time her parents let her on a tightrope without sticking charms.
Their attempt: Roxie tends to go a little too 'oomph!' on things a lot of the time, so it's entirely possible she just BRIGHT SHINY LIGHTs all over the place the first time. But she genuinely likes DADA and has probably had some success before.
Are they in DADA or Occlumency?: DADA
