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: Estella Morales-Tran
Year: Sophomore
Patronus Form: Sugar Glider
Why?: Okay, this was tough, but I'm seeing stuff about leaps of faith and new experiences, being clever and ambitious, being playful with friends but a little more wary of strangers (which kind of works with Essie's mix of general shyness, but also being very LOUD with the other sophomores). Also I wanted something small and cute and furry like Mina. :c
Their happy memory: Essie's go-to happy memory has always been her mother charming paper cranes to fly while trying to comfort her the night she found out her parents were getting divorced. It's inspired a lot of her personal work.
Their attempt: Essie doesn't take this overly seriously, but she's also much better at hands-on magic than theoretical.
Are they in DADA or Occlumency?: Neither.
