The golden tribrid (Draco Malfoy fanfiction)

14.Boggart

We made our way to our last class of the day. Defence against the dark arts.

"Hey guys, apparently our new teacher is really fun." Pansy announced.

"Really? Which type of fun?" Blaise asked. I looked at him with disgust." What the hell is wrong with boys?" I asked looking at all of them.

"You should get used to it." "They're all horn dogs." Pansy and Daphne answered, rolling their eyes.

"Were not." "Not even in the slightest." Theo and Enzo answered, while Draco smacked the back of their heads causing all of us to laugh.

We entered the classroom and took seats at the back row.
Me, Pansy and Daphne in one table and the boys in the table infront of us.

The teacher entered not long after and introduced himself as Professor Lupin. But then he told us that we were moving to a different classroom.

I looked at the girls as if asking them 'What the hell is happening?' They just shrugged as we all followed the professor to a big room.

He then led us to a closet in the middle of it and we saw a closet shaking furiously. I already knew what it was and it couldn't be good. It's a boggart.

"Intriguing, isnt it? Would anyone like to venture a guess as to what's inside?" The professor asked, looking at all of us.

"Thats a boggart, that is." A Gryffindor answered." Very good Mr. Thomas. Now can anybody tell me what a boggart looks like?" Lupin said.

"No one knows. Boggarts are shapeshifters. They take shape of whatever particular persons fears the most." I answered, making everyone look at me. I felt someone glaring at me and i turned to the front to see Astoria and Hermione. I raised my eyebrows at them as if challenging them to say something, but they didnt.

"Thats what makes them so-" "So terrifying, yes." The professor cut Hermione off and looked at me." Thank you Mrs. Maximoff." I turned to the others who had their jaws dropped. No professor who was a Gryffindor has ever ignored someone of their house.

I winked then turned my attention back to the professor who was still looking at me, curiously. When our eyes met, he  sent him a small smile, which i returned, before he started speaking.

"Luckily a very simple charm exists to repel a boggart. let's practice it now, without wands please. After me- Riddikulus."

" Riddikulus." We all said.

"Very good, a little louder, very clear- Riddikulus."

" Riddikulus." We all said again.

" This class is ridiculous." I heard Draco mumble under his breath, which made all of us laugh quietly.

"Very good, well so much for the easy part. Now the incantation alone is not enough. What really finishes a boggart is laughter. You need to force it to assume a shape you find truly amusing. Let me explain. Uh, Neville, will you join me, please."

Neville looked around nervously, but then turned to the professor. "Come on Neville, don't be shy, come on come on." Lupin encouraged him.

"Hello Neville, what frightens you most of all?" "Professor Snape." Neville muttered under his breath." Sorry." Asked Lupin. "Professor Snape." Neville replied, clearly.

Me and the others try to contain our laughter, but failed miserably and let out quiet chuckles, along with other students.

" Yeah, he frightens all. And I believe you live with your grandmother?"

"Yeah, but I don't want that bother to turn into her either."

No J it won't. Now I want you to picture her clothes- Only her clothes, very clearly in your mind."

"She carries a red handbag.

"We don't need to hear as long as you see it we'll see it too. Now when I open that wardrobe, here's what I want you to do."

He whispered something in Neville's ear, then said. "Can you do that?" Neville nodded and then the Wardrobe started to shake.

"Wand at the ready- one two three."

Professor Lupin pointed his wand at the Wardrobe, then the doorknob twisted, and it creaked open.

" Think Neville, Think."
The professor said, as Snape walked out of it.

Neville raised a shaky hand and yelled "Riddikulus." Snape then was wearing weird ass clothes.

Everyone started laughing, except for the slytherins but me and Pansy snickered a little.

"Wonderful, Neville, amazing. To the back. Everybody line up."

Then everybody started to line up, and I was pushed to the front. Thankfully, there were a couple of Gryffindors in front of me.

"I want everyone to picture the thing they fear the very most, and turn it into something funny." Lupin said.

I didn't pay attention to who was facing Their Fear until it was my turn.

"Mrs. Maximoff, you're next." Lupin said.
