Today in DADA we were going to be learning about Boggarts. But I almost missed the lesson due to Draco, Crabbe, Goyle, Lorenzo Berkshire, and Theodore Nott giving me another unnecessary beating. I didn't have time to heal all of my wounds, so I had a bandage across my nose, and I had a bruise under my eyebrow and a cut on my cheek. It attracted the attention of a few people, but Professor Lupin pulled their attention back to him.

Lupin: "Alright! Today we are going to be learning about boggarts."

I go on and I listen, trying to ignore the pounding in my head. I feel a pair of eyes on me, and I turn to see Mattheo Riddle staring at me. I glare at him and when he finally turns away, I turn back. Lupin: "Repeat after me, 'Riddikulus'!"

We all repeat but I hear Malfoy murmur something.

Draco: "This class is ridiculous."

We go on.

Lupin: "Now, I want you all to picture the thing you fear the very most, and turn it into something...funny. Next!"

He turns on some music and people go. I'm right before Harry Potter, and when it's my turn, the boggart turns to Mattheo and his friends. Before they could say or do anything, I cast the spell, and I don't think anyone could register what mine was. I leave for the bathroom after and wash my face. I look in the mirror, and look at my reflection. I look away immediately, hating what I see. I went back to the classroom before anyone could notice. Not that anyone would. But I ran into the one and only Alex on the way.

Alex: "Lyn! What happened?"

He cups my face in his hands gently as he looks.

Evelyn: "Nothing. I'm fine. Just a petty fight."

He looks unconvinced. He then pulls me to a room and does a spell to make healing supplies appear. He puts me on a desk and starts cleaning me up.

Evelyn: "Alex, I need to go to class."

Alex: "Who?"

Evelyn: "What?"

Alex: "Who's doing this?"
Evelyn: "It's fine. I'm handling it–"

Alex: "Who?"

I sigh.

Evelyn: "Draco Malfoy and his goons. But really Alex, it's fine."

He looks at me in the eyes and we have a silent debate. He won.

Alex: "Why?"
Evelyn: "I'm a muggle born. For them that's enough. And the fact I'm way smarter than them."

He chuckles and continues. When he finishes, he looks deep into my eyes, and the next thing I know, I kiss him. I don't know why I did. But he kissed back and I pulled away after a minute.

Evelyn: "Thanks. I'll see you tonight? It's a quidditch game."

Alex: "Yeah. Ravenclaw vs Slytherin. See you tonight. I know you'll do great."

He kisses me again, and leaves. I walk away smiling and I sneak back into the room.

Lupin: "Ms. McCall."

All eyes turn to me. I shrink back.

Lupin: "Please see me after class."

We continue on with the lesson. After class, I stay and wait to talk to Professor Lupin.

Lupin: "Ms. McCall. Please, sit."

I sit down on a chair.

Lupin: "I noticed you were pretty beat up when you entered my class today. May I ask why?"
