Y/N POV
It was now the first day of classes. Your first class was DADA.

While you and the other students made your way into the classroom, you noticed that all the desks were moved and in the middle of the class stood a big wardrobe.

"Good morning class, I'm professor Lupin." Everyone immediately looked over at me. "Yes I am Y/N's father, but I will not treat her any different. So no worries about that." He said and smiled at you. "Today will be a practical lesson, so you'll only need your wands."

Suddenly the wardrobe started make noise, it looked like something wanted to get out.

"Now class, what do you think is in this wardrobe?"

No one raised their hand, so you raised yours. "Yes, Y/N" "Its a boggart."

"Well done Y/N, and mr Weasley can you tell us what a boggart looks like?" He looked at George "Erm, boggarts are shape shifters.. They take in the shape of whatever the person who faces the boggart fears the most."

"Very good, 10 points to Gryffindor for answering both questions correctly."

"Now luckily there exists a simple charm to repel a boggart. Let's practice now chall we, without wands please. Riddikulus.." The whole class said the charm with him. "Very good, very good. Now what really finishes a boggart off is laughter. You need to assume a shape that you find truly amusing."

"Mr Jordan, come up here, will you." Lee stepped to the front of the class. While your dad explained what was going to happen, you and George were talking.

"What do you think your boggart will be?" He asked. "Probably a giant spider. Godric those could scare me to death." You said as the both of you let out a small chuckle." What about you?" Just when he was about to answer the wardrobe opened. It was a giant snake, you could see the fear in Lees eyes.

"Jordan, wand at the ready." Not a second later Lee yelled "RIDDIKULUS", and the snakes tooth fell out. The sight of the toothless snake caused the whole room to erupt with laughter.

"Wonderful Jordan, wonderful! Everyone form a line! I want everyone to picture the thing that they fear the very most and turn it into something.. funny."

After a while it was your turn.

Before you knew it you saw your real father standing in front of you. He was standing over the twins' and lee's body. They were dead. He was screaming at you. It was the exact same sight as him screaming on the wanted posters.

You were so shocked, you just froze.

"Y/N!!" Your father called, but you didn't react. You were frightend. He quickly stood in front of you and the boggart turned into the moon. At his own boggart he yelled "RIDDIKULUS!", and closed the wardrobe. "That's  it for today, I'm sorry. Class dismissed!"

"Y/N are you okay?" the twins and Lee asked as they pulled you into a tight hug. "I'm fine guys, really." You said, still a little shaken. When you were just about to leave the classroom, you heard someone call your name. It was your father. "Sorry boys, can I talk to Y/N please?" He asked with a worried expression. "Guys you don't have to wait up for me, I'll catch you later." They nodded with a small smile and exited the classroom.

"Pumpkin are you okay?" He pulled you into a tight hug. "Are you scared of your own father? I thought you knew he was innocent?" "I know he's innocent, but it's just.. What if he isn't? what if he'll come look for me, or hurt my friends?" "You know he'd never do that pumpkin."

"Have you told your friends that he's your father yet?" "No, not yet. Do- do you think they'll hate me for not telling them?" "Those boys adore you, they could never hate you especially that George boy."
