"I will never forget you."
"Do you promise?"
"I promise!"

April 4th, 1974

"It's a boggart professor!"Sirius said echoed in the classroom. "If you come across it, it'll take the form of your worst fear." he moved in front of the Marauders and stared deep into their eyes with a completely serious expression trying to make them feel uncomfortable and the jumped scaring them. "The only way to face it, is by turning it to something funny." He smiled and turned to his place next to Remus who was really absorbed and taking notes in his mind as James used to say.

"Thank you Mr. Black for your so... Lively explanation. Ten points to Gryffindor!" the professor said and stood up from his chair were he was sitting and moved towards his students who were standing in front of them in a short of a circle. "So does any of you have any idea on how do we turn our fear into somrthing funny?" He wandered between his students waiting for more hands to rise, the only one was Sirius who had just asked his previous question. 

Electra looke around trying to spot anyone who would be willing enough to answer the question but since no one was aiming to do so she raised her hand and rolled her eyes. She was finding really disturbing when the others didn't have the common knowledge about some things, and even more when they had it but preffered to keep it for themselves. "Yes, Miss Star tell us."

"The spell which turns our fear into something funny is Riddiculus." giggles were heard in the classroom and the girl slightly intrigued smiled. "I'm not sure that if you're laughing while casting it, you will be protected from the boggart." she said bitterly causing James and Sirius to smirk.

"Exactly miss Star, your last comment though wasn't needed." 

The girl threw a deadly look at Snape who was laughing with two other boys and then turned to face Sirius who whispered proudly to her "I got ten points! Who's the best now?"

"I thought we were betting on who would lose the more points!"

"That was the last month. We need some change you see..."James whispered and as soon as he noticed the professor walking towards them put out his glasses trying to seem serious. 

"So students, what do you think? Would you like to put our knowledge in action? As I always say hands on experiense is the best way to learn something." the professor said and since no one was answering him he rolled his eyes and continued. "Great. Make a line! Mr. Potter come in front." The boy exchanged a glance with his friends and moved forward. "I'm going to release the boggart. Be careful as soon as it appears you're going to imagine it with a silly form that'll make you laugh. Ready?" The boy put on his glasses and had his wand ready. "Go!" 

The boggart appeared and before any of the students could understand what was its actual form the boggart lied down taking the form of a dead body. James' father the boy took a step back "Riddiculus!" he exclaimed and the boggart immediately turned to a giant warm which was looking around trying to find a way to move forward. 

It was Lily's turn the boggart took the form of Petunia, her sister "You're a freak!" the boggart said Lily without second thought said the spell and the boggart transformed to a ballet dancer who was spinning around all the time.

Many kids followed in which one of them was Remus. The boggart moved upwards and it turned to a moon appearing behind clouds. After a while it was trandformed to a baloon which was flying around the room leeting its air out.

It was Electra's turn she moved forward. Well actually she knew what was going to face, she knew which her fear was but she had no idea how was it about to appear. And mostly she had no idea on how she was going to make it funny. The boggart separated in two. I front of her was James and Sirius talking and laughing. "Come on I have this great prank planned. We have to tell others, Remus, Peter, El!" James' figure said only to come across Sirius questioning look "Who's El? Are you making up scenarios and fake characters?" James looked at his friend and winked "Are you forgetting about my invisible friend?" he said reffering to his Invinsibility Cloak. Electra took a breath "RIDICULUS!" she shouted and the two boys started singing with loud voices and with no tempo a christmas song.
