Serena Willow Lupin

The boggart

Yay today is Defence Against the Dark Arts class, which my dad teaches , oh yer. I can not wait!
I got dressed really quickly, and headed for the Great Hall for breakfast. I wonder if I talk to anyone today, this is my 2nd day, surly someone will talk to me, I mean I know I am new, and there were already 'groups" but surly someone will talk to me......right.

As I was eating breakfast, hermione comes and sits next to me, yes finally!
"Hey Serena, you were brilliant yesterday in cares of magical creatures.... oh were we're you yesterday at dinner, I was going to ask you if you wanted to study and talk, you know be friends"
Omg she wants to be friends, I have never had a friend before well except Viktor Krum, his and my school used to get together very term, or so, and we always hanged out and talked, his mates were very funny. I used to right to Viktor and tell him what the other girls did and how much trouble I got in for hurting them back he would always listen, i'll wright to him tomorrow or something to see if he is alright.
"Thanks and oh i had homework so I thought I will get it out of the way, so I skipped dinner to do it in peace, and yer studying and talking sounds great, where would you like to meet"
"Emmmm, how about, near the lake, the end of lessons, it is nice and warm today"
"Yer that sounds perfect, i'll meet you there" yes a new friend, I hope me and hermione are great friends, but I will have to be careful about went I change, I will have to make a lie to see dad and change, that might be hard.
Well I don't want to think about that now.
"We have to go to class now, i have Defence Against the Dark Arts, do you, want to walk together?"asked hermione eagerly.
Wow she wants a girl of is a friend.
"Yer I have that class to"
We walked to class.
We found the DADA class room, me and hermione sat together, getting are books, and wands out, whilst the class is coming in.
"Books away please, we will be soon a practical today"
A voice come from the front of the class.......oh it's dad silly me.
"Stand up and go to the back of the class, please" we walk to the back of the class, dad waves his wand and the tables and chairs stack them selfs and are put in the corners of the room, and a wardrobe pops out.
Oh no I hope it's not what I think it is. please, please, please!
"Right can someone tell me what is inside this wardrobe?" Ask dad, it starts to shake and try's to smash the door. yep it's a boggart. dam.
"That's a boggart, that is" yells dean
"Correct, now can anyone tell me what a boggart looks like?" asks dad again.
"No one no's, boggarts are shapeshifters, they take the form of what the person finds terrifying" yells hermione.
"Yes yes.... now Neville will you come up and help me?"
Neville looks around the room, and slowly walks to the front of the class.
"Now.Neville, what frightens you the most?" asked dad.
Neville does reply but I can not hear him.
"Pardon, what was that?" asks dad again ,thank god I wasn't the only one.
"Professor snape" Neville replays going bright pink. the class starts laughing, but I don't, if you are scared of something that you now looks weak, you will be more scared of what people think.
"Yes, he does frightens all, now I believe you live with your Grandmother, am I corrected?" wow dad does now a lot about people?
"Yes but I don't want that to turn into her either" Neville tells dad, wow he does seem to like his grandmother.
"no no, I just want you to" dad bends down a mutters something think in his ear.
"On the count of 3 Neville, ok" dad tells Neville
Neville nods his head and points his wand at the wardrobe.
"One.........two............three"
On the count of three, dad waves his wand and professor Snape steps out,
Come one Nevllie.
"Riddikulus!" neville screams. the boggart snape clothes are transforms into what look like, his grandmothers clothes. the class laughs out loud.
That was funny.
"Form a line! And get ready, Ron you go"
Ron's boggart transforms into a big spider, which then transforms on rollo skates. the next people go and transform it fine.
"Right Serena, your up next"
I step forward, I know what this is going to turn into, oh no, now everyone will see.
The boggart transforms into dad, laying on the floor died, blood everywhere, his eyes wide open, with no light coming from them, piecing into my own eyes. I stand still staring at my dad, dead on the floor.
"R.....R....Riddikulus!" I shout, the boggart transforms into dad dancing and laughing. I turn around not wanting to meet my dads eyes.
Harry's is next.
Harry's boggart transforms to a dementor, dad steps in front of harry, the boggart turns into the full moon, dad casts the spell into a ballon, whizzing around the class and back into the wardrobe, dad locking the door.
"Right, I think that is it for today, go back to your common rooms waiting for your next lessons, oh and Miss.Lupin can you stay behind please".
I stop turn around, waiting for the class to leave. the class leaves quite quick, and leaves me and dad in the room alone, I look at him, and he looks at me. He opens his arms and I run into them, crying into his tight arms, we stand there for ages, him rubbing my back and me sobbing in his robes. Once I was done sobbing, I look at him. He had been crying to.
'Serena, you do know that will never happen wont you" he looks at me. I just nod my head.
"Good, now I think it's time for you to go to your other classes, you better be going, iI'll see you at dinner, ok" he looks at me smiling. I walk out of his class room, walking to History of magic.

The classes ended quickly, and soon it was dinner, I did meet hermione at the lake, but we didn't talk we jut did homework together, I think she just thought I need space. At dinner i sat by myself, and kept glancing at my dad, making sure he was ok, well of course he would it was not him it was the stupid boggart. so don't worry. this is what I kept saying over and over again at dinner. Once I finished eating dinner, I got up and went to the common room. I got up there and went to my dorm and got changed and went to sleep, lets hope, tomorrow is a LOT better.
