It was supposed to be my DADA lesson but unfortunately I had two classes at once in which me and Hermione are now running through the halls. As we got there me and Hermione entered quietly and came to the side of Neville and Draco.

"Very good, Mr Longbottom. Can anyone tell us what a Boggart looks like?" Remus asked them all.

"No one knows." I said and Neville and Draco jump in shock as they looked to the girls in shock.

"When did they get here?" Draco whispers to Neville who looked equally confused.

"Boggarts are shape-shifters. They take the shape of whatever a particular person fears most. That's what makes it so -" Hermione continued and Remus was listening with a gleam in his eyes. He knew that Worth and Ms Granger were bright students.

"Terrifying, yes, yes, yes....Luckily, a very simple charm exists to repel a Boggart. Let's practice it now, shall we? Without wands, please... Riddikulus!" Remus said and instructed.

"Riddikulus!" All of us said together.

"Very good. A little louder and very clear. Listen: Riddikulus!" Remus said to them all again as he stood in front of them.

"Riddikulus!" All of us students said together.

"This class that's ridiculous." I heard Potter say to no doubt Weasley, Finnigan and Thomas. I grinned and I sent a spell at Potter and I heard him yelp quietly and Hermione, Neville and Draco snickered high fiving each other as Remus saw this but ignored it. He knew what Harry had said and so he let it slide.

"Good. So much for the easy part. You see, the incantation alone is not enough. What really finishes a Boggart off is... laughter. You need to force it to assume a shape you find truly amusing. Seamus, come up here, will you?" Remus said and Finnigan eyes the rattling wardrobe and steps forward queasily.

"What would you say is the thing that frightens you most?" Remus asked Finnigan. This should be interesting.

"Profter... Snafpt..." Finnigan muttered to Remus.

"Didn't catch that, Mr Finnigan, sorry." Remus said to him as the wardrobe rattles.

"Professor Snape." Finnigan said to Remus.

I snorted at that with Draco, Hermione and Neville, we knew Severus wasn't scary when you was on his good side. Everyone else was laughing good naturally and Remus nodded thoughtfully. "Yes he frightens us all." Remus said but saw the fours look. "Except from Worth, Draco, Neville and Hermione of course. Hmmm...I believe you live with your parents?" Remus informed him.

"Yes, but I don't want the Boggart to turn into them either." Finnigan said and I, Draco, Neville and Hermione looked to each other with looks.

"It won't. But I want you to picture your mother's clothes, only her clothes, very clearly in your mind. Can you do that?"  Remus asked him. I raised an eyebrow, what was Remus planning to do?

"Yes." Finnigan said and smirked.

"We don't need to hear it. If you see it, we will. Now, when I open this wardrobe, Mr Finnigan, here's what I want you to do..." Remus informed and then Remus leans close to Finnigan and whispers. Finnigan eyes went with a glint and a smirk.

"You can do this, Mr Finnigan." Remus said and I looked to him and Remus looked to her and I went wide eyed. He wasn't going to do that. Severus is going to kill Remus for this.

"Right then. Wand at the ready. One. Two. Three!" Remus said and suddenly the screen went to the door knob of the window and the door opens. Instantly, Snape appears, eyes flashing hideously as he stalks forward. Finnigan backs away in fright. "Think, Mr Finnigan. Think!"

"R-r-riddikulus!" Seamus said and suddenly Snape stumbles back and appears in a long, lace-trimmed dress, towering moth-eaten hat, and crimson handbag. Instantly, the class roars except from myself, Draco, Neville, Hermione and the other Slytherins. I didn't find that nice at all since Severus was like my brother.

Finnigan blinks, amazed, then slowly, grins himself as he bursted out laughing as Potter and Weasley did too.

"Everyone form a line. I want everyone to picture the thing they fear the most and turn it into something funny." Remus said and I was dreading this because what would mine be? My father...The Potters, the Dursleys...the Dementor? As we did get in a line Potter, Weasley and Finnigan pushed the line forward and Remus drops the needle on an old gramophone. As a scratchy rhumba fills the room, he points to Ron.

"Ron! Forward!" Remus said and Ron stepped forward. "Concentrate. Face your fear. Be brave."

Snape dissolves into a mad whirling mass, then mutates into a... giant spider.

As Weasley gasps as he whimpered slightly as he drew his wand from his robes as the spider came forward. "Wand at the ready, Ron. Wand at the ready." Remus said to him. I knew what his fear was because the twins said it was spiders.

"Riddikulus!" Weasley said and a crack was heard. Roller skates materialize on the spider's hairy feet and it begins to shuffle crazily in place.

Instantly, Weasley relaxes as the class laughter rang out except from myself, Hermione, Draco and Neville. I couldn't even see what he had done with it.

"Parvati!" Remus said to her. "Show us what you see." As Parvati steps up, the spider spins faster and faster, a dizzying blur, then reappears as a snake. "Keep your nerve now. Steady." Remus said to her.

"Riddikulus!" Pavarti casts and suddenly the snake became instantly a jack in the box. Remus grinned.

"And next!" Remus said. "Step up." Remus informed. I was the next one as I did. What is my greatest fear? "Wonderful! Wonderful!"

The Jack in the box went backward and forward as Remus then looked to Worth in concern. The Jack in the box tumbles towards Worthless, becoming more sinister. The Jack in the box suddenly turns into....Dumbledore! I was thinking and Remus was confused. Then the bogart suddenly turned into McGonagall. Then it went Lily Potter, James Potter, Vernon Dursley, to her friends dying until it then lastly changed into a Dementor. I didn't know what it was but I suddenly raised my wand when all of a sudden....

"Here!" Remus shouted and stepped in front of me and when the Dementor looms closer the Dementor suddenly changed. Crack! - the Dementor vanishes and a roiling mist appears, which becomes clouds. Something glows within the clouds, white, silvery and round..."Riddikulus!" Remus said to the boggart.

Pop! The orb deflates like a punctured balloon, whizzes crazily about the room, then darts back into the wardrobe. The door slams shut and the class cheers.

"Well done, everyone. I think that's enough excitement for today." Remus said but I looked very confused at the wardrobe and Hermione, Draco and Neville stood with her. "Sorry but you can't have too much of a good thing." He said as he then spots Worthless looking.

I sighed as I went with my friends but what was my boggart? What did it turn into? It couldn't have been Voldemort surely due to I didn't fear him. So what could it of been?
