So, I have been thinking pretty much non-stop about astolat's SPN/HP crossover, Old Country.

It seems pretty clear to me that Dean's patronus in this 'verse would be a unicorn. What do you reckon Sam's patronus would be? I'm thinking it's probably something like a Balrog.

I haven't read the story, though [HP blah], and have only a vague idea of what a patronus is. I thought that was a Golden Compass thing? [Which I also haven't read.] But it's like... totem animal, yes?

[hope]

It's similar. In HP, the patronus is a charm used by a wizard/witch. In particularly dire situations (i.e. chasing off an evil beastie whose forte is making you really, really depressed), you use the patronus charm by thinking of your happiest memory ever, then pointing your wand and shouting "expecto patronum". Your patronus spooges out of your wand in the form of shimmery light in the shape of an animal which chases off the baddy. The animal is your patronus - you don't get to pick, so I guess it is pretty much your totem animal.

(by the way, in general i would agree with you on the wolf/hawk thing, but in the crossover's canon i'd stick with the unicorn/balrog verdict *g*)

OH! THAT'S RIGHT. And I totally remember watching that in the movie, too, so... I kinda fail.

Oh well. Then. Sam's is a stag, possibly elk; and Dean's... heh. The Impala*. :)

Oh no! I fail again! Apparently (as i see now, after having clicked the link) Harry Potter's is a stag. :( Which doesn't seem right, but... there you go.

I'm sorry. All this magical crap is kind of confusing for me. ^__^'


*Or possibly John. XD Isn't that canon? With the.. you know.. the whole YED thing. But I like the spooging out of the wand thing, too. Heh heh heh.
...Nevermind.
Young adult fiction and I obviously do not mix.

No, you're right, that makes more sense. A unicorn is just a big kickass fancy horse, which I def. see as representative of something essential in Dean.

And Sam, with the scary fire.

Yes, yes, all very reasonable.

Also, in the HP crossover, sam uses a giant magical whip to smite a demon and it's all very awesome :D Man, I love that story.

You almost make me want to read it!

[hope]

you should give it a go! I don't think it draws enough of the HP stuff in to make it incomprehensible, or even really that much of a HP story. it's really a SPN story that happens to be set in this place that exists in another canon.

READ IT!
