Tom Riddle's Daughter 2 (DARKNESS IS INSIDE ME) [Editing]

YEAR III: CHAPTER 5

[Y/n's P.o.V]

"It comes and it goes. Still, I consider myself lucky. Madam Pomfrey said another minute and I could've lost my arm. I couldn't do homework for weeks" Draco says as I was walking by I threw a book at his side almost hitting his arm. 

"I consider that lucky," I say, rolling my eyes at him. 

He glared at me like I did something much worse than that. 

I put my hands up in defeat. "Only giving your homework," I smirked and winked at Ron, Harry and Hermione. 

"He's really laying it on thick, isn't he?" Ron said, bitterly. I sat down beside him and then faced Harry.

"Yeah, but at least Hagrid didn't get fired" Harry replies.

"But about Draco's Father? I heard he told him," I inform. 

"Yeah, Draco's father was furious. We haven't heard the end of this." Hermione answers.

We were all serious until Seamus came to our part of the table yelling "He's been sighted! He's been sighted!" 

"Who?" Ron says in a worrying tone. We all look over at Seamus and stood up to get closer.

"Sirius Black!" He placed the newspaper on the table. I stand up to see what 

"Dufftown? That's not far from here," Hermione said as she reads. 

I nodded "Yeah, like a few hours away?" 

She nodded and continued reading. 

"You don't think he'd come to Hogwarts, do you?" Neville looks at us. 

"With dementors at every entrance?" Seamus points out. 

I look over at Harry worriedly and then listened to them again. 

"Whose to say he won't do it again?" Seamus adds.

"That's right. Black could be anywhere. It's like trying to catch smoke. Like trying to catch smoke with your bare hands," Bem says and it gives me shivers all over my body.

I look outside the window not listening to Professor Lupin that much. I wondered what Sirius wanted and about the scenarios, I kept on seeing about Cedric dying. 

I shrugged it off and decided to listen. It was about boggarts. The closet rattled. I held onto my robs since I get kind of uncomfortable when I get startled. 

"Now, can anybody tell me what a boggart looks like?" Professor Lupin asked. 

"No one knows," Hermione suddenly appears beside me and Ron answering the question which caused us to be taken aback. 

"When did she get here?" Ron looks at me and Harry then at Hermione. 

Hermione ignored the question and explained what boggarts are. 

Lupin nodded at her answers, "Luckily, a very simple charm exists to repel a boggart. Let's practice it now. Without wands, please. After me. Riddikulus!"

"Riddikulus!" We all chanted after him. 

"Very good. A little louder, very clear. Riddikulus!" He advised. 

"Riddikulus!" We repeated. 

"This class is riddikulus," Draco side comments. I look over at him and we locked eyes which were cut off since he looked away. 

What did I even do to him? Why is he acting like more than a brat? I rolled my eyes and avoided thinking of it. 

"Neville," Lupin called out asking Neville to join him in front. We all look at him as he walked up. "Hello, Neville. What frightens you most of all?" he asks. 

Professor Snape, of course. You should see him sometimes mess up his potions most of the time. 

"Professor Snape," he hesitantly answers as we all laughed a bit. 

"And I believe you live with your grandmother?" he asks. 

"Yes, but I don't want the boggart to turn into her either.." He says unexpectedly which made us laugh again. 

Professor Lupin shakes his head. "No. It won't. I want you to picture her clothes. Only her clothes, very clearly, in your mind" He instructs. 

"She carries a red handbag," 

Professor Lupin shakes his head. "We don't need to hear. As long as you see it, we'll see it. Now, when I open that wardrobe... here's what I want you to do. Excuse me." He stands beside Neville and whispers instructions at him. "Can you do that?" He asks. 

"Yes. Wand at the ready. One, two, three." The wardrobe opens and Snape comes out in his usual entrance. We all watch intently. "Think, Neville, think!" 

"Riddikulus!" He cast making Snape wear a very ridiculous outfit. 

We all laughed at the sight and got all excited when he wanted us to line up to try it. Harry let me be in front of him first. I smile at him as I waited for my turn.

"Now we'll see what you're truly afraid of, Riddle"
