"He's been sighted! He's been sighted!" Seamus said, running into the great Hall attracting the attention of half the hall "Who?" Dean asked, leaning closer, Dahlia and Daphne shared a look, those two belonged together. "Sirius Black!" Seamus said like it was obvious, "right, my mistake" dean said dryly, "Dufftown? That's not far from here." Ron said, taking a look at the paper. "You don't think he'd come to Hogwarts, do you?" Collin asked, sitting next to them, "he better not be" Dahlia muttered, she'll curse her uncle black and blue if he decided to show up.

"Did you?" Regulus asked amused, "you'll just have to wait and see" Dahlia said evasively, a small smirk on her face, that was one of her favorite memories, she couldn't wait to see it again.

"With dementors at every entrance?Dementors?" Pansy said skeptical, "He slipped past them once. Who's to say he won't do it again?" Ron shrugged, Dahlia smacked his shoulder, "you are not helping" she hissed quietly. He winced, mouthing sorry. "That's right. Black could be anywhere. It's like tryna catch smoke. Like tryna catch smoke with your bare hands." Bem said.

{The scene changed to the Defense classroom}

"Would anyone like to venture a guess as to what is inside?" Remus asked, standing next to the shaking cabinet "That's a boggart, that is." Dean said, eying the cabinet warily, "Very good, Mr. Thomas." Remus praised. "Now, can anybody tell me what a boggart looks like?" Remus asked, looking around "yes, ms.Greengrass?" Remus called. "No one knows. Boggarts are shape-shifters. They take the shape of whatever a person fears the most. That's what makes them so terrifying" Daphne explained.  "Very good, 10 points to Slytherin. Luckily, a very simple charm exists to repel a boggart. Let's practice it now. Without wands, please. After me. Riddikulus!" Remus instructed.

"Your an excellent teacher Remus" lily complemented, smiling towards her friend, Remus blushed "thank you" he mumbled, "the best teacher ever" the group cheered.

"Riddikulus!" The class repeated, "Very good. A little louder and very clear. Listen "Riddikulus!"" Remus instructed, "Riddikulus!" The class said again. "Very good. So much for the easy part. You see, 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. Neville, would you join me, please?" Remus asked, Neville nodded, walking over.

Neville blushed, this wasn't one of his best moments, Dahlia smiled, hugging her brother in all but blood "it's ok nev" she said.

"Hello. Neville, what frightens you most of all?" Remus asked curiously, "Dahlia.... On a rampage" he mumbled, blushing bright red, Remus looked confused while everyone else bar Dahlia, shuddered at the same time. "I am not that ba-" Dahlia began, "love, darling... You can be a bit scary when you're mad, you even get Dumbledore to listen" Blaise said, she scowled at him "not helping, dear" she said. "Well, if she's anything like lily then yes, I can understand the fear there, now, I want you to imagine something that would completely change her from scary to funny, don't tell us, if it works then we will see it" Remus instructed.

Dahlia buried her face into blaise's chest, she was not going to see herself like that again living through that once was enough for her.

"Wand at the ready. One, two, three." Remus counted before the door opened, a version of Dahlia came out, her hands on her hips, and the scariest face all of the Hogwarts students knew well, she started lecturing Neville about this and that, the entire class shrank back, feeling as if it was them being lectured. Neville took a deep breath, concentrating, "Riddikulus!" He yelled, Dahlia stopped yelling mid sentence, her clothes changed until she looked like a female version of Heatmiser from the year without a Santa Claus, her jaw dropped, staring at the boggart while the class erupted into laughter. "Wonderful, Neville, wonderful! Incredible! Okay to the back, Neville. Everyone, form a line...Form a line! I want everyone to picture the thing they fear the very most and turn it into something funny. Next! Ron!" Remus called, "Concentrate. Face your fear. Be brave! Wand at the ready, Ron." Remus instructed, The boggart turned into an Acromaunta "Riddikulus!" Ron cast, the spider gained skates, slipping and sliding.

Everyone else began going, Draco's was disappointing Dahlia and Harry, Daphne's was losing her sister, Hermione's was being petrified again, Theo's was losing his friends

Everyone else began going, Draco's was disappointing Dahlia and Harry, Daphne's was losing her sister, Hermione's was being petrified again, Theo's was losing his friends. Blaise stepped forward, his breath catching in his throat as it changed to a motionless Dahlia, blood spewing from a wound on her "you couldn't save me! You let me die!" The boggart said in her voice, "R-R- Riddikulus" Blaise cast, the boggart changed into mermaid version of Dahlia. He moved away, pulling Dahlia into his arms, gripping her tightly "I know what my fear is and I have no intention of seeing him dead" Dahlia told Remus, allowing her one to hold her as tightly as he needed to ground himself, Remus nodded. "Harry, your turn" Remus said, Harry stepped forward, he froze, seeing the emotionless body of Ginny, how she had been down in the chamber, his magic reacted lashing out at the boggart, the creature shrieked, hiding back in the closet, Harry stormed out, everyone knew he went looking for Ginny.
