Chapter 43

Violet's pov

Walking up the next morning I find Regulus' head on my stomach, he's curled into a ball on my side. I hold in my laughter and play with his hair softly. He stirs awake and mumbles incoherently. "Morning, Reg." I whisper, running my fingers through his hair. "Mhm, morning beautiful." He mumbles, placing small kisses against my bare stomach. I caress his cheek gently, "Can you walk?" He teases, I smack his hands and get out of bed. I walk perfectly fine to the bathroom. "Seems like you were lacking last night." I tease from the bathroom, he chuckles darkly from the bed.

As I walked back to the room, fully clothed he sat up. "Mhm yea, because you sounded like I was lacking. 'Oh Reg, Reg please more please!'" He dramatically moaned trying to mock me. I threw his shirt at him, "Shut it." I grumble as I curl my hair and slip earrings on. He jumps off the bed and hugs me from behind. "You're so beautiful." He whispers into my ear while looking at me through the mirror. I smile and turn to face him. I pull him down to kiss him gently, "I'll see you at lunch or dinner." I mumbled against his lips. "Okay, love." He muttered, pulling away. As I walked out of the flat he smacked my ass and winked. I rolled my eyes before making my way to the Great Hall.

Fred and George walk up to me and walk with me to the Great Hall, "You seem to be walking fine." George is the first to address last night. I pinched his arm, "Stop it." I mutter, "So, did you get any Vi?" Fred adds, I pinch him as well. They tilt their heads, waiting for me to answer. "Yes." I whisper, they laugh and walk to the table. Fred bends down and kisses Grace's cheek. I kiss her head before kissing Harry, Draco, and Ron's head. Grace eyed me for any marks, I showed her my skin and she nods not seeing any marks. "You know she used magic to cover them." George teases, Grace gags and grabs a muffin, smacking George's head and kissing Fred's cheek she leaves.

Remus walks in and eyes me up and down. I roll my eyes before walking closer. "I'm not 16 anymore. I'm married for Merlin's sake!" I whisper-shout at him, he laughs and walks me to his class. "Do you remember your boggart from school?" Remus asked as we walked into his class. "Yup! It was Greyback. I reckon it's changed drastically." I explain. "Want to find out in class today?" He questioned showing me the wardrobe. I smirk and nod, "Yes." I mutter. Soon, the third year Gryffindors and Slytherins entered the class. "Welcome welcome." Remus cheered. I sat on his chair and poked him. He swatted me and pushed me, causing the chair to roll across the class.

"What is that?" Ron questioned. "That is boggart! Can anyone tell me what a boggart looks like?" He waited, Hermione raised her hand. "No one knows, boggarts are shape-shifters. They take the form of whatever a person fears the most, that's what makes them," Hermione trailed off. "That's what makes them terrifying, indeed. However, Professor Lupin will teach a charm to help defeat the boggart." I explained. "Yes, while the charm doesn't actually defeat it, your laughter will. Say it with me 'Riddikulus'" He shouted. The class shouted it back. "This class is ridiculous." Pansy spit, I looked at her and mouthed 'Flich'. She quieted down quickly.

"Who wants to go first, mhm Neville." Remus chose. He whispered to Neville what to imagine. I watched closely as Neville's biggest fear was Snape, he shouted riddikulus making Snape's clothes turn into his grandma's clothes. Everyone laughed stunning the boggart, the next girl went as everyone jumped into line. After her's changed from a snake to a clown, Remus ushered me to go. Everyone whispered and muttered to each other as I walked up. I held my wand up and Regulus walked in.

I focused on the boggart, letting it see my biggest fear, my boggart shifted to Peter, he was smiling maniacally at me, next to him was Grace and Regulus being tortured by the Cruciatus curse. "R-riddikulus!" I muttered softly, Regulus dropped the snack bag in his hand. The boggart changed to Bellatrix torturing Remus and Sirius, they were on the floor bleeding as she laughed. My boggart began to shift back and forth between Regulus and Grace bleeding on the ground and Sirius and Remus bleeding. I started to cry at the sight of my daughter, husband and brothers being tortured. I let out a cry, I fell to the floor, Regulus caught me and Remus stepping in front of it.
