sunshine & gloom

it was the end of the day. a friday and the only class that y/n l/n had left was defense against the dark arts. one more class and she was free for the weekend.
even though her bones ached and her sighs sounded the exhaustion she felt, y/n was happy since she was having a good day. it wasn't abnormal for her to have a good day. simple things made the girl happy, which is why so many people liked her.
she had friends from each hogwarts house due to her likability and happy mood which attracted friendships from others. one of her closest friends was luna lovegood from ravenclaw.
however, luna had potions as her last class, so y/n walked to dada alone as she basked in the moment of rest the silence gifted her. she waved at some friends as she passed them in the old halls before she walked into dada to see all the desks moved to the sides of the classroom.
she curiously walked to an empty spot against the tables where some students decided to lean against or sit on as they curiously waited for the professor to arrive.
y/n was next to hermione granger who seemed to be ignoring her best friends who watched her guiltily from across the room.
"why the frown hermione?" y/n asked the girl. yes, hermione was also a friend of y/n's.
hermione sighed. "it's just ron and harry being insufferable once again." she smiled tiredly at y/n.
y/n nodded with creased brows from worry. "don't worry hermione, i'm sure they'll come to their senses. wanna stick together for whatever is happening in class today?" she motioned to the empty, exposed floor and then to an old looking closet by the front of the class.
hermione grinned and nodded.
the two girls talked happily until professor lupin entered, greeting the class.
"today we will be learning how to defeat a boggart." he announced with a smile.
professor lupin proceeded to explain the concept of a boggart and the spell to counterattack it. 'ridikkulus'.
he instructed the students to line up and y/n ended up with hermione in front of her. not realizing someone was behind her, she leaned back slightly but jumped in surprise when her back collided with a body.
"i'm so sorry!" she exclaimed as she turned to see who she bumped into.
it was mattheo riddle. to his slight right was lorenzo berkshire, both were slytherin's.
"watch it." he grumbled, sparing her a partial glance.
y/n frowned. "sorry again. i'm y/n." she introduced with a small wave.
he then turned his head to face her with a look of annoyance. "and i didn't ask." he sarcastically smiled before sighing.
lorenzo gave a short chuckle and so y/n simply turned around with a frown as she stepped closer to hermione's side.
"what do you think you'll see?" hermione asked the h/c girl who tried to forget the previous interaction she just had.
y/n shrugged. "not sure. i hope it's not anything embarrassing that the whole class will see." she nervously laughed.
