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.
Fill out this form if your character takes Occlumency or attends the extra study sessions:

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.
Sylvester Stoker
Year: Junior
Patronus Form: Lion
Why?: Big, loud, confident, bossy. Not as tough as his looks or reputation might suggest. I enjoy the irony of lions being seen as "noble" animals whereas Sy is a selfish douchebag, but I'm also a sap and like the hint that Sy has the capacity to be brave and loyal and a good leader. Somewhere, buried deep. Very deep.
Their happy memory: Coppertale winning the Quidditch cup last year. :(
Their attempt: Sy's very good at DADA, it's one of his best classes. Emotional control and self-awareness are... a different matter. Sy's more self-aware than he acts, but he's still got that terrible temper. CAN HE DO IT, WHO KNOWS
Are they in DADA or Occlumency?: DADA
