"Intriguing, isn't it?" Professor Lupin says referring to the shaking wardrobe standing in the middle of the classroom. "Would anyone like to venture a guess as to what's inside?"
"That's a boggart, that is" says somebody from the back
"Very good, Mr Thomas. Now, can anybody tell me what a boggart looks like?" he asks
"No one knows." says Hermione from next to you. You look at her with a puzzled face not having a clue where she appeared from.
"When did she get here?" Ron whispers to you and Harry. You both shrug your shoulders in response.
"Boggarts are shape-shifters. They take the shape of whatever a person fears the most. That's what makes them so-"
"So terrifying yes." Lupin interrupts Hermione "Luckily, a very simple charms exists to repel a boggart. Let's practice it now, without wands please. After me, Riddikulus!"
"Riddikulus!" the class repeats
"Good, good. Now a little louder and very clear. Riddikulus!" Lupin says
"Riddikulus" the class repeats again
"This class is ridiculous." Malfoy scoffs
"Oh shut it dickhead." you scoff back at him followed with a few giggles from some students
"Okay, okay settle down." Lupin says bringing the classes attention back to his teaching.
"Now, what really finishes a boggart is laughter. You need to force is to assume a shape you find truly amusing. Let me explain. Neville, would you join me please?" beckoning Neville to the front.
"So, Neville. What frightens you the most?"
"P-professor Snape." Neville stutters quietly.
Lupin chuckles "Yes, Professor Snape. Frightens all. Now, you live with you grandmother, correct?"
"Yes, but I don't want it to turn into her either!" Neville says
"No.. it won't. I just want you to picture her clothes, only her clothes, very clearly in your mind." Lupin explains.
"Well, she carries a red handbag.." Neville starts
"We don't need to hear. As long as you see it, we'll see it. Now when I open the wardrobe here's what I want you to do.." He whispers something to Neville. "Go it?" Neville nods his head and Lupin walks over to the wardrobe. "Wand at the ready! 1..2..3.."
He opens the door and out comes Professor Snape, well, a fake Professor Snape.
"Riddikulus!" Neville shouts, and Professor Snape ends up wearing some feathery pink clothing. The class bursts out into fits of laughter at the uncanny sight in front of them.
"Yes! Wonderful Neville! Okay, go to the back, Neville. Everyone form a line! I want everyone to picture the thing they fear the very most and turn it into something funny." He explains
Ron goes next and faces his fear of spiders, of course. A few others go and then its finally your turn.
"Miss Lestrange. Focus on it, wand at the ready!" Lupin says
You have your wand out ready to face what is your biggest fear not even knowing what it is. You focus on the boggart in front of you as you watch it turn into something you never thought you would see.
"Mother?" you say shocked
"Come join us, you'll do great on our side" Bellatrix snarls whilst showing you her dark mark.
