Moratorium's up (and I need to sleep soon so putting this out here now).
[x] Plan Get Patronus Then Tidy Up But Avoid Burnout

Case III: The Riddle of Riddle (2 Actions)- Digging through the archives for so long has given you a good grasp as to who walked these floors in the last two hundred years. There were mentions of someone, you still remembered. There had been some records history of one of the greatest minds that walked this castle, maybe not as special as Sally-Anne or even Dumbledore, but still … Who was he?
-[x]
Runes Club Research (Multiple Actions on this count as multiple rolls stacking) – Spend time with the Members of the Runes Club looking for hidden runes and glyphs in the castle walls (
Will also count as a training roll towards Ancient Runes).

Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea I – The fairly large Great Lake to the south of the main building has always been your most favorite part of Hogwarts' surrounding lands. It was breathtaking how beautiful it was on a sunny day and frightening how dark it could get at night, almost looking like a hole in the fabric of the world. At the beginning of your year you glimpsed at something that had broken through the surface, making you realize how shallow your world view had been. Find a way to get below the water and discover what is below. (Takes 3 Actions, can't be taken in the same month as
Break through your Horizon and
What hides behind trees.)
-[x] Stage III,
Dreams of old (Takes 2 Actions) – Coming back into the years of unrelenting war. Following years of uncontended victories for you and yours, an enemy has arrived that is more powerful than anything you could have ever imagined. Marching through the midst of winter they attack numbering the tens of thousands.

Write a Letter (Free Action) – To Nicolas Flamel. Thank him once again for the gift and let him know that the boots have already come in handy with some exploration we have done. Also let Nicolas know that he is in our thoughts and that we look forward to seeing him when we get back from school. Tell him about Hogwart's surprising lack of Alchemy books available for use, but that we have managed to press on nonetheless using what he has taught us and found our own method of moving forward with the subject. Hopefully, by the time we return for the summer we will have completed a project of our own and he can see for himself how we have advanced in the subject.

Expecto Patronum,

Tempus, Point Me)
Alright, here is my plan. Less Personal Actions than usual because it seems like Jacob has been having a hard time with doing 7 every month (about the average of what we were doing). Cases, exploration, journal which our father recommended we do before exploring more, as well as Runes Club which gives us some social time as well as some Runes training (which we need a bit more of in order to do the Goggles). For Personal Actions, DADA to get the prerequisite for Protego, Mind Arts because of their utility and because they have been used against us repeatedly, followed by spell learning focused mainly on getting the Patronus down.
This plan is made with the idea in mind that we clean up on any necessary spells we need in the following month or two (things needed for the exams, exploration, etc.). It also gets most stuff out of the way so we can spend 2 Personal Actions on Alchemy next month in order to work on the Map and finish that before the end of the year.
So what plans do people have to get the patronous before the end of the year because I want that extra bonus we would get from learning it.
My plan has learning the Patronus as a priority
