I've been looking into patronuses lately while studying for OWLs.

...Or is that patroni? Maybe patronae?

Well, whatever, in any case I've found that they generally take the form of something most significant to you. That's usually an animal of some type, because you know, animals and magical symbolism are fairly close to each other.

What sort of animal do you think yours would take the shape of? I've been thinking it over and I'm a little convinced that mine would be a magpie. If I wanted to try and make one, that is.

I think I should try it.

That doesn't really matter too much for a patronus, I think. I'm pretty sure all of them can fly.

Floating doesn't count. It's not real flying.

Okay, you got me there.

What if someone had an elephant for a patronus?

[ladyliberty]

That would be so funny! Can you imagine?

[redearphones]

It might cause earthquakes! But that would probably have to take one strong happy memory to make something like that.

I don't really think patronuseses weigh anything. They're just happiness and magic and stuff, right?

[redearphones]

Patronuseses

Esi?

Ae?

We still need to figure out a plural for that.

[ladyliberty]

Patronusi!
