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.

Ezekiel Covington (Am I too late?)

Name: Ezekiel Covington
Year: Junior
Patronus Form: Reindeer
Why?: The Reindeer is a symbol of adaptation, sure-footedness and travel. They are elegant in nature and always pushing forward at their own rate. They are also not exactly quiet creatures as their joint make clicking noises that can be heard for miles, announcing their presence. The creature is a perfect match for Zeke in that he is a winter baby and always moving toward the next adventure, but he also deep down has that same elegance of the Reindeer.
Their happy memory: Happy memories are not hard to come by for Zeke, but the one that worked for him was his first memory of playing in the snow with his brother. Sure, Isaiah was not much for the outdoors, but Zeke was too young to be out by himself. The boy loves snow.
Their attempt: Like with anything else, Zeke has an easy time when it comes to magic. This is also one of the few 'extra study sessions he would ever attend because patronus are great fun. While easily excitable and often a distracted student, he would watch his brother in his attempts and a part of him wants to prove that he has the focus to do this. To Zeke, this would show his brother that he can accomplish something bigger than himself.
Are they in DADA or Occlumency?: DADA
