My father called forward student after student to have a go at the boggart. Currently the boggart was a single hand, but that didn't last long as 'riddikulus' was heard and it was stuck in a mouse trap.

"Excellent! Ron, you next!" exclaimed Professor Lupin.

All of a sudden the boggart was a giant spider. And when I say giant I mean giant. A moment passed before Ron finally called out 'riddikulus' and the spider's legs disappeared. It rolled around before stopping at Harry. The boy who lived stood in a ready stance, preparing for his turn.

"Here!" my father said while skidding to a halt in front of the creature.

The boggart had turned into a small floating moon and my father spoke as if he did this all the time 'riddikulus'

"Forward, Neville, and finish him off!" he continued.

The boggart had now fallen to the floor as an insect I couldn't see very well. The boggart had turned back into Snape just before Neville lunged and said the magic word. Like before Snape had on Neville's grandmother's clothes.

"Ha!" Neville laughed and the boggart disappeared as would a muggle magician. In a cloud of smoke.

We were now sat in the Slytherin common rooms. After getting bored of homework Pansy suggested we do something else. I don't know what I thought that 'something else' would be, but I certainly didn't expect a chess match. We had split into two teams; Pansy, Draco, and Crabbe against Blaise, Goyle and I. So you see Crabbe and Goyle were no help to either team but we kept them in the game just so it seemed more intense. As Pansy had made up the teams it was obvious it wasn't by smarts or skill. I bet the only reason she wanted Draco on her team was... well, you guessed it! Her massive crush on him.

In the beginning Pansy and Draco were winning but oh how the tables have turned. Due to all the yelling and screaming some first years gathered to watch. Then came the second and third years, and so on so on.

"LETS GO BITCHES!" I shouted, gracefully moving a piece.

"Shit." I heard Draco curse. His eyebrows were knit together and upon his face lay a scowl. I heard a chorus of cursing and 'awh's from the reasonably sized crowd we had attracted.

"Draco, we're losing! What do we do?" squealed Pansy, glued to his arm.

I just rolled my eyes at her antics.

Draco shushed her rather dramatically, causing me to laugh. After only a moment more thought he moved one of his pieces. Blaise moved the next piece. We were so close to winning. I feel bad for the wizards and witches who had bet on the other team.

Oh- sorry, did I forget to mention? Well, you heard me right. Some of our classmates decided to place bets on who would win the game.

Pansy moved the next piece. Not good on her part, she just gave us our win.

"BADDA BING BADDA BOOM!" I exclaimed, high fiving Blaise.

"CHECKMATE MOTHER FUCKERS!" He laughed.

Draco along with half the crowd sighed in defeat.

"Draco, how could we lose!" Pansy pouted. Crabbe giving a small 'yeah' in agreement. Draco however, completely ignored them.

"Good game." he chuckled. "I must admit it was an exquisite waste of time."

"What's that supposed to mean?" questioned Blaise.

"Alright people! Pack it up!" I called over the crowd.
