I THOUGHT THAT EVERYTHING WILL FINALLY SETTLE after our class in potions, but even after so many classes after that, there's still one more class that we need to get through, that being the DADA. 

Remus heard about the thing that we will be doing today, or yet, facing today, but he never told us that there will be a new DADA professor. I look at the person in front of me who's taller by about an inch that made me look up a bit to see his face clearly. He doesn't look that old he looks like he was in his 20's which is already an amazing feat if Dumbledore himself picked him. I have never seen his face before nor heard of some wizard with such distinct moles below his right eye and below his mouth on the left side.

He's one of those people who you cannot just ignore and forget even with just one encounter. He has that gentle manner that made the girls squeal in delight but all I can see is the person behind that fake curtain, one who knows how to smirk, innocent and mysterious at the same time. People who you cannot guess immediately are some of the dangerous ones.

I cannot judge him easily but that doesn't mean that I cannot be careful around him.

"Get your wands out," It was a simple command yet you can feel the goosebumps travel through you like he intentionally trying to scare us despite having that smile plastered on his face. I am not liking this at all.

"My name is Luthox and I will be your new DADA professor as some minor complication happened to your last one. I hope to find brilliant wizards and witches here." He introduces as he travels his eyes around the room and spotted something that made me see his eyebrow twitch for a second. "And if ever you do not have time to listen and do as I say, you are free to go. You all can go straight to Headmaster Dumbledore, tell him that you are not welcome in this class anymore." Almost immediately, the three students who noticed the eyes of the new professor shiver and stop at what they are doing.

While the others scream internally about how they find him charming, the others have mixed emotions as they both saw his good and bad side. No one would ever try to get on his bad side, even some Slytherins are hesitating.

Well, at least he has some fire in him. I definitely will clash with his strong personality if ever something like that will occur.

After a moment of silence, he went in front of something that was covered. If I am not mistaken, then that must be it, the cabinet with a Boggart inside of it. He uncovers it and a brown cabinet with mirrors presents itself to us. He looks at us, he did not even spare a moment after some eye contact and suddenly open the cabinet. The first student which is actually from Hufflepuff was so surprised that he sat down as it tries to come closer. The other students were horrified and screams of terror filled the four-cornered room.

The Boggart turns into a clown with an evil look on his face. "Shout the banishing spell, Riddikulus!" Professor Luthox said. The student manages to point his want on the evil clown with a shaky hand before gulping down all of the emotions he is feeling right now and shout the spell, "Riddikulus!" The clown then turns into a thought paper before flying away and into the cabinet as the professor shut it at the same time.

"That is how you shut down a Boggart after morphing into your deepest fear," He said while helping the Hufflepuff student get his shit together. He was still staring at the cabinet like he has been petrified. 

Well, that was a nice opening to his very first teaching class.

"What the bloody hell do you think you are doing? That was not funny!" I was waiting for that, for someone to disagree with his methods and find out how he will deal with it. Of course, it has to be Lucius Malfoy. He was one of those people who almost shit his pants as the Boggart suddenly came out from the cabinet.
