Chapter 15
Peacock - Peacocks are ground-dwelling birds known for their beautiful eye-shaped plumage. These birds extend their feathers not only to attract mates but more importantly, to appear more intimidating to predators. With feathers that make up over 60% of their total length, it gets the job done. Peacocks are easily irritated and would make a fierce and gorgeous Patronus.
Pheasant - Pheasants are noble birds known for their beautiful plumage. They are regal and often symbolize virtue and refinement. Unlike peacocks, they make no show of their feathers but hold themselves to a high standard of etiquette in all situations. They can be a bit proud, which might lead to trouble, but deep down, they care greatly for family and comfort.
Phoenix - The only known possessor of this Patronus is Albus Dumbledore. The phoenix is known as the resurrection bird, dying in a glorious pyre of flames and then rising again to new life from the ashes. The phoenix lives to an immense age and can carry very heavy loads, and their tears have healing powers. Phoenixes are hard to domesticate, but they are loyal to their owners for a lifetime. Once their owner dies, they will not seek another master. If you are not Albus Dumbledore and happen to find yourself the possessor of a phoenix Patronus, you are likely stronger spiritually than most anyone else, so much so that your love heals the spirits of those around you. No one can tame you or claim you in any way. You are very much a loner. At the same time, many admire and adore you for your strength, wisdom, and above all, your immense power to love even your enemies. You do not fear death but understand it is the next great adventure, and should you be faced with it, you will greet death like an old friend - especially if it means saving the life of another.
Piebald Mare - Piebald, or pinto, horses are spotted. These good-natured steeds each have a unique coat - no two patterns will ever be the same. Some folklore interprets that rarity to mean great fame will come your way when a spotted horse crosses your path. A piebald mare will surely make your Patronus-casting ability famous among fellow witches and wizards.
Piebald Stallion - Piebald, or pinto, horses are spotted. These good-natured steeds each have a unique coat - no two patterns will ever be the same. Some folklore interprets that rarity to mean great fame will come your way when a spotted horse crosses your path. A piebald stallion will surely make your Patronus-casting ability famous among fellow witches and wizards.
Pine Marten - If you have this cute creature as your Patronus, you can trust that you will be defended fiercely when needed. Although the pine marten is small, about the size of a house cat, it is in the same family as the badger and wolverine, so fighting comes naturally. They also have great stamina and even with such short legs, can travel over 12 miles a day!
Polar Bear - Polar bears are native to the Arctic region and are one of the largest species of bears. When hungry, a real polar bear can be unpredictable and vicious. They’ve even been known to eat humans in circumstances like these. A polar bear Patronus, however, would direct that ferocity at a Dementor and send it packing out of fear of getting a chunk bitten out of its creepy behind.
Polecat - Despite its name, a polecat isn't really even a cat at all. It’s actually closer to a ferret or a weasel and is known to cripple its prey by piercing its brains with its teeth before storing it, alive, for a later meal. This tiny predator as a Patronus would likely catch a Dementor off guard before sinking its teeth into its scaly flesh, sending the dark creature heading for the hills and far away from you.
Python - Although pythons are one of the largest species of snakes, they’re also one of the timidest. It is for this reason that they are so commonly sold as pets. That said, a mighty python Patronus wouldn’t be likely to back down from a Dementor. It would strike before constricting and crushing the Dementor by contracting its muscles around it. This mostly gentle giant would make a wonderful Patronus, protecting its owner with its incredible strength.
