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.

Ursula de Luca

Name: Ursula de Luca
Year: Junior
Patronus Form: Koala
Why?: The website I'm looking at says "Though they may seem cute and friendly, Koalas also have a dark side." and "Love is a challenge, as is any relationship between them and another. It’s not fair to say that Koalas are self-centered, but they do spend a lot of time in their own heads, trying to figure things out, trying to plan their approach." There's also mentions of lots of emotions but not wanting to deal with them, interest in human tendencies, seeking control and power. But also being sweet, caring and loving when they do feel comfortable.
Their happy memory: Nothing would have stuck out immediately, but eventually she'd settle one silly childhood times with her parents before she decided they were So Embarassing. Probably shortly after they moved from Pittsburgh and her dad would make their new home rattle like it had a ghost to make her mom happy.
Their attempt: Ursula has been a mess of emotions a lot of November. Anonpost helped her get some of that out since she rarely talks to people about her emotions. Buuut. Very unlikely she got things chill enough for this.
Are they in DADA or Occlumency?: Neither.
