Memories

Before he knew it, Rey and the other students were walking down the hallways to Defence Against the Dark Arts. To be frank, he was never keen on the subject due to the teachers. His first year teacher, squirrel or something, turned out to be the dark lord's puppet. His second year teacher, that famous guy, whoever his name was, turned out to be a total fraud, didn't understand anything he was doing! He just hoped that this year's teacher, Professor Lupin, would be better.

His previous class, potions, was a total hell. Professor Snape just took five points from Neville, because Hermione was helping him. Instead of lending his friend a hand, like the usual, Snape decided to be a total jerk and scowled the boy to the point of tears. Rey was glad the Professor only gave him an eyebrow rise, but he couldn't understand why would the man be so bitter about anything. Moreover, he was glad to finally leave that class behind.

Rey, along with his friends, entered the DADA classroom only to found Professor Lupin was nowhere to be seen. The students decided to wait for him while taking out their books, parchments, and quills. When the teacher entered the room, he requested the lot to put back their books and yada yada because it would be a practical lesson. The students, including Rey, couldn't help but getting excited as they followed Professor Lupin out of the classroom towards somewhere only the man knew.

'Finally! A good DADA teacher.' Rey tried to held back a grin.

Their journey was halted by Peeves the poltergeist, or how Rey usually called him Peeves the scoundrel. He wouldn't get over the fact how Peeves drenched him last year with a thick unkown green substance, which took him two hours to scrub off in the shower. The poltergeist apparently have been busy stuffing a keyhole with chewing gum, without forgetting to insult Professor Lupin with his usual shrill sing-song. Professor Lupin tried to talk him off, but only recieved a loud raspberry from the other end. So the professor pulled out his wand and use the spell waddiwasi, making the gum jumped out of the keyhole down to Peeve's nostril. The ghost drifted off and the class cheered.

The lots continued their journey onto what apparently looked like the staff room. After a short soap-opera of nasty sneers and insults performed by Professor Snape, the class goes on. Professor Lupin told the class that today they would practising against boggart. There was a brief back to back explanation done by professor Lupin before he taught the charm to fight off the creatures. After the class repeated a few times the charm Riddikulus, Professor Lupin asked Neville to came forward to help him. After a short conversation between them, which earned a preety good laugh from the room, the man proceeded to ask them to identify their worst fear.

Rey didn't know his worst fear, what could it be? The end of the world? His parents got mad at him? Beau's pranks went south? Adrian sent him a howler? Cedric Broke up with him? Oh no... If the last one would be his boggart, he should deal with it quickly.

Neville was the first one to face his boggart. And true to his word, it was Professor Snape. After he flicked his wand and spoke the incantation, Boggart Snape turned into a grandma-looking Boggart Snape. The class roared in laughters, Professor Lupin thencalled Parvati Patil forward, and the class resumed in swift motion. The boggart turned into many things. A mummy, a banshee, a creeping severed hand, a giant spider, amongst others.

Then, when Harry stepped forward, Professor Lupin immediately intervered. The man came infront of him while yelling a loud 'here!', making the boggart turned into a bright yellow orb. Rey was thinking that it looked like a moon before the professor chanted the incantation riddikulus. Thus the moon turned into a deflating yellow balloon, flying around the room with funny noise, before slumping back into the wardrobe. Just a few seconds later, the boggart let out a more rapid cracking sound. Professor Lupin then catched his eyes before mentioning Rey to come forward.
