Althea had been listening to the talk about Andros the Invincible, and now when she was addressed she answered. "A dove."
The discussions were good and lots of interesting points were coming up. Althea continued the lesson onward.
"So some interesting points have been raised, and we'll return to that topic for homework. But we know that personality can be indicated by the Patronus form, so the question is, how does that relate to you? If you don't know your Patronus form yet, could you get an idea of what it might be in advance? What about by taking into account other disciplines like Arithmancy? Do your traits as indicated by your numbers match up with the traits your Corporeal Patronus? Some food for thought." She shifted slightly and leaned against one hand.
"There are a few books here about animal totems and their associated meanings." She began to pass the books around. "For those of you who can cast a Corporeal Patronus and know what form it takes, see if you can match up how it fits your personality. Younger students, you can work with students who do have a known Spirit Guardian, or you can look up mine, which is a Dove, or Headmaster Tate's which is a Mountain Goat, or that of another adult you know, even some of the historical figures we were discussing."
She smiled at them. "I'll give you ten minutes for this exercise and in the mean time if you have a question feel free to ask it."
Eino took one of the animal totem books and flipped through the pages until he found dragons. He was going to try to narrow it down to a few possibilities, but there were so many dragons. Here, we go:
Dragon: Born of Fire, Protector, Exists between thoughts, Ability to move between worlds, Connection to the birth of the Universe, Red Dragon sleeps in the core of the Earth. After reading, Eino paused to think about these characteristics in relation to Merlin. Well, clearly he had the ability to move between worlds. That is, he was an important figure in both the magical world and the muggle world, so that was a perfect match. Merlin also protect both muggles and wizards, so protector also made sense. He didn't really know what to make of the rest, but he didn't really need to. He was convinced that Merlin's patronus was a dragon, and a big one, too. He just couldn't think of what kind of dragon...
