Acacia's POV

If there is one subject all four of us are good at it would be DADA. Clara is weak at Herbology, Thalia is bored to death in Divination, Adaline is not the best in Potions and I am trying my best with Muggle Studies.

"Today we'll be facing a Boggart, does anyone know what a Boggart is?" Professor asked and Lily's hand shot up. She gave her answer and slightly blushed for the praise she got and now before is a closet.

This reminds me alot about that one time Professor Lupin made us face a Boggart, it's pretty weird thinking about that when right now Lupin is just as old as me. "Now would you like to go first Ms.Blackwood?" Thalia was yawning at the very moment our Professor scanned the room.

She quickly taught us the spell which I already know and I smiled to myself when Thalia made a face when the Professor turned away to open the closet. "I would love to, Professor." Thalia replied and Clara snickered beside me.

"Very well then, remember the spell," and with that she opened the closet, Thalia stood before a woman who looked very much like her but older.

"You're a disgrace! Associating yourself with mudbloods and their sympathizers!" The woman's voice stunning me, how can one voice hold so much hatred? "You're no daughter of mine, Crucio!" Even if the spell didn't really reach Thalia, she was shaking.

She's one of the strongest people I know and her fear is her mother. Everybody's afraid of something. I wanted to reach for her and comfort her but I know she wouldn't appreciate being treated like she's fragile. I can see Adaline trying to place a hand on her shoulder but Clara stopped her.

"Riddikulus!" without a stutter or a flinch she yelled the spell and her mother turned into butterflies, a thousand of them and they were all identical purple and white ones. Must be her favorite butterfly.

I was in awe until Professor spoke up and made us form a line behind Thalia who walked off to watch from the sides. "Very good, 10 points to Slytherin for perfect execution. Now, anyone from Gryffindor?" Sirius was quick on his feet and pushed his way through.

Now he's the first in line with Remus behind him, Adaline, Clara and then me with Peter just behind. I expected his dear to be thrown into Azkaban because that's exactly what happened in the future but I didn't see his Boggart coming.

It's James, Peter and Remus all dead. He loves his friends so much that them dying is his biggest fear, if that is so, why did he betray James and Lily?

He almost couldn't perform the spell with how shaken he was with fear and I found it humorous that Lupin's fear is the full moon. I wonder how he's holding up every full moon, being young and all. It's surely not easy for a 16 year-old to go through a transformation every once a month.

Why did Dumbledore let him go to Hogwarts? I trust his judgement because Professor Lupin was a good man, but he's dangerous.

Next up was Adaline and with how sweet she is, I didn't expect her fear to be herself. You can imagine my shock when her Boggart was her, rambling about the importance of Blood Purity. Adaline voiced out her dislike for Gryffindors and she grew up with the prejudice being forced on her by her parents but her fear is turning out exactly like that.

Thalia gave her a tight hug after her turn and Clara looked over her shoulder to get some reassurance from me, I gave her an encouraging smile and a pat on the back. Her Boggart is being a muggle.

Waking up a being with no magic, finding out all of this is just a dream and I had to remind her she's a witch and Hogwarts is real. Clarabell is a pureblood so I didn't expect her fear to be that, I would expect it from a muggleborn but her? Never.

She joined Thalia and Adaline so now it's my turn, my greatest fear about to be broadcasted to the entire class. I have so many fears, ever since I was thrown into this time I have been in constant fear and that might be the reason the Boggart is taking some time. I wonder what it will be, the future maybe? So far it's my greatest fear and everyone should fear it as well.

But my Boggart turned into James. I heard whispers from behind me and I wanted to sink into the floor at this very moment. But not just him, it's us. It's us together, we look a bit older but it's definitely us and we were holding hands. Walking down what seemed to be a beach and we were smiling, he leaned in to kiss me but was interrupted by a child. . .Harry.

But instead of green eyes, he had blue and he looked about 4 years old. I went to pick him up while James adore us from where he's standing. I was so lost in what the Boggart is showing me that I didn't wanna cast the spell.

I liked what I'm seeing and it's ironic how it's my greatest fear. But the beautiful scene morphed into the war, where a jet of green light headed for me but it came from him. The man who started it all, all the pain and sufferings. Voldemort sent the killing curse towards me and I quickly pointed my wand and casted the spell with a whisper, my voice is weak but there is strength hidden in my voice.

Without knowing what the Boggart turned into I ran out of the room while my friends yell for my name.

Now I know what my Boggart is.

It's me and James as a happy family, and Voldemort killing me before I could save them.
