It was Malfoy’s turn. No one wanted to admit it, but most of the students were curious about what Malfoy was afraid of. Ron leaned toward Harry and Hermione.
“What do you think Malfoy’s afraid of?”
He whispered at his two best friends. Harry and Hermione looked at each other before shrugging off the question. Three of them turned their attention back on Malfoy.
The boggart slowly shifted into something—or a girl? Confusion spread through every student. Malfoy is afraid of a girl? That was impossible. When they looked back at Malfoy, they noticed he was frozen in place. His shoulders were tense while his eyes widened. Everyone saw that Malfoy took a step backward.
The boggart completely turned into a girl with blond hair. Her silver-grey eyes glared at Malfoy hard. The glare was full of hatred, and it was piercing through their soul. Everyone gulped at the glare and took a few steps backward, leaving Malfoy alone at the front.
“You!”
The boggart-girl shouted at Malfoy, pointing her finger. The voice was full of venom and hatred, making the whole class flinched including Malfoy. Yet Malfoy took it to different level. His body started shaking badly.
Everyone was quiet and eyed the scene in front of them in cautious. The silence made any sound from Malfoy echoed through the class. Prof. Lupin watched the scene from the back of class; his hand was near the holster, ready to flick his wand if anything getting out of hand.
Malfoy’s breath was getting heavier. His ragged breath made someone in the crowd of students grew worried. He gripped his wand tightly, not liking what happened to Draco. If anything happened towards Draco, he would blame it on himself. He bit his lips anxiously. The only thing he could do was stay still and watches. ‘I wish you good luck, Draco. I am sorry if I cannot protect you like your father asked me to.’
Harry POV
Never in my life would I be seeing this. Malfoy’s fear was a girl and he terrified of her. However, something confused me. Who was that girl? I never saw her yet Malfoy knew her.
Everyone in the Wizarding World knew that Malfoy’s family would never like muggleborn much less muggle. How in Merlin names that Malfoy knew that girl? The boggart-turned-girl was wearing clothes that only muggle wears.
We watched Malfoy and the boggart. Even though I felt sorry for him, I still wants to know why Malfoy afraid of that girl.
“How dare you!”
The boggart yelled at Malfoy on top of her voice. Malfoy crouched down. His hands were covering his head. Malfoy was scared. It was real, not some joke.
“You let me die! How could you! You are a disgrace!”
I widened my eyes in surprise. Die? Did I hear it right? I saw everyone glanced at each other in shock. No one ever expected this. Malfoy might be a jerk, but everyone knew Malfoy just a spoilt kid. He would never kill anyone.
Buts, who knew Malfoy’s reaction, would be like this. He looked up facing the boggart; his eyes were wavering and terrified.
“M-m-mom, I-I am sorry. It was my fault. I should die that time.”
Malfoy stuttered out the words and bawled his eyes out. His words made everyone froze. I looked at Hermione and Ron. Our eyes met and Hermione opened her mouth.
“It doesn’t make sense. Everyone knew that his mother is Narcissa Malfoy. Who is that girl anyway?”
Ron lifted his shoulders, not knowing a thing. I shook my head slightly before moved my gaze towards Remus. He gaped in surprise. So, even Remus doesn’t know. Then, who knew?
