When I cast a patronus I fully expect her to take the form of a tawny owl. She will have chosen to protect me - not because of her usual connotations of wisdom necessarily - but her value in fearless protection of her loved ones. Her affinity with this characteristic matches my desire to do so also; and she would guide me and help me refine that trait which is so important to me. She protects me by sharing her unparalleled vision, her ability to see all that which my somewhat feeble human eyes often refuse to see. She will protect not only myself but my loved ones also, bringing out the best in myself against that which I need defence from. The fact she takes the form of an owl is unsurprising, as ultimately she signifies a sincere love of the magical world I so often and so willingly let myself disappear into.
