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.

Sun-mi Choi

Name: Sun-mi Choi
Year: Senior
Patronus Form: Quetzal
Why?: Quetzal symbolism talks about being bright and showy, but also funny and easy-going. But I picked it moreso because the Mexican dragon species that Sun-mi's family cares for is based on Quetzalcoatl/The Feathered Serpent.. and I honestly had no idea this bird existed until five minutes ago. But it's so pretty.
Their happy memory: The thrill of her first ballet performance with her papas and extended family in the audience and the celebration afterwards back home on the reserve.
Their attempt: Things are a little weird post-Amortentia, but she's generally avoiding thinking about that. DADA's never been a class to give her much trouble, even if her general grades aren't that impressive. She's a decent wand duellist also.
Are they in DADA or Occlumency?: DADA
