PATRONUS STUDY SESSION



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: Asher Guthrie
Year: Senior
Patronus Form: Blue-ringed octopus
Why?: The blue-ringed octopus is in some ways representative of Asher: it is intelligent, somewhat curious (octopi in captivity have been known to sneak out of their tanks for a bit before returning, with people none the wiser), and generally docile but is highly dangerous when provoked.
Their happy memory: Working on his first newsletter as a child with Aiden
Their attempt: Asher is focused but is honestly more curious than determined about this particular spell. He can't imagine ever seriously needing it, but the whole idea of the patronus is interesting at least.
Are they in DADA or Occlumency?: Nope because he's a loser

You're the meeeeeanest!

I love that octopus~ I guess he lucked out on his Animagus form and Patronus not matching, though? ;) That would be a weird day.

I don't know, I think that'd go to the Portuguese man o' war? Since it has literally no means of propulsion? SUPER COOL TRANSFORMATION, BRO.
