My Patronus would be a Hummingbird. The fluttering of a hummingbirds wings is said to symbolise eternity, continuity and infinity, the positive memory that I would have to think of to conjure a patronus would be with me eternally and something that no dementors could take away. The hummingbird totem also symbolises healing, sincerity, peace and is a symbol of good health which reflect my personality and my future career as a nurse. Furthermore, the hummingbird is the only bird that can fly backwards, this shows that the past cannot be changed but it can teach lessons. Lastly, though the hummingbird is small it brings great joy and when the hummingbird is conjured it shows that joy can be found in all circumstances and the hummingbird appears when circumstances seem to be impossible. I think that my patronus would be a hummingbird because of this, it represents what a patronus means and it represents my personality and career.
