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: Gabriela Flores
Year: Sophomore
Patronus Form: An otter.
Why?: It's an otter. It's playful and happy and swims like a fish and holds hands with other otters when it sleeps and it is basically a microcosm of everything Gabi is and wants to be and loves.
Their happy memory: Making Rellenitos with her mother when she was small. Her mother singing, dabbing the mixture on her nose and laughing when Gabi giggled. Sunlight streaming through the windows.
Their attempt: She spent at least as much time watching everyone else out of curiosity to see what their patronuses would be as she did trying to cast her own.
Are they in DADA or Occlumency?: Nope, but patronuses are neat and this seemed like a fun thing to do and she really thinks if she tries hard enough she can get it!
