Chapter 24

The third period came and YN had third years. Great(!) She had everyone take a seat and began the lesson,

"So, today we will be looking at Boggarts. Does anyone know what a boggart is? No?" YN said, "A boggart is a shape-shifting creature, which takes the form of whatever frightens someone the most. No-one knows what it looks like," Professor Snape walked in, a cupboard floating behind him, "Hello, Professor,"

"Professor Potter, Professor McGonagall informed me that you would like the boggart brought to your classroom," he sneered,

"Yes, thank you, Professor," YN said. Snape put it in the middle of the classroom and nodded at her. He left and YN resisted the urge to roll her eyes, "Stand up everyone, please," she said. She flicked her wand and the desks moved to the side,

"What are we doing?" a boy asked,

"Practical lesson," YN said, "Line up in front of me. Good. So we are going to each face the boggart. The thing that a boggart really hates is laughter, so we are each going to say Riddikilus," 

"Riddikilus," the class repeated,

"Good, ready?" the student nodded and YN opened the cupboard. Snakes turned to feathers and spiders became legless. Some of the things became scarier in YN's opinion. The last student came up, and Voldemort appeared. YN made a slip-second decision to let the girl, Maia, deal with it,

"Riddikulus," she said, but Voldemort stayed, "Riddikulus," she said again. Voldemort moved towards the girl and YN ran in front of her. It turned into Fred. He fell to the floor dead, YN bit her lip, "Riddikulus," she pointed her wand at Fred's dead body and he turned into a puppet. She forced it back into the cupboard,

"Who was that?" a student asked,

"My fiance," YN said, "And Voldemort,"

"You said his name?" he gasped,

"Yeah," YN said, locking the cupboard and putting the desks back to normal, everyone sat down, 

"But you can't say his name!" he protested,

"It's a name, everyone has a name. Actually, I once called him Tom to annoy him and he almost killed me, but anyway, you shouldn't be scared to say his name. Maia, could you stay behind after class," Maia nodded,

"How is she qualified to teach us?" a Ravenclaw boy asked his friend, not expecting YN to hear,

"5 points from Ravenclaw, and because I spent the summer tracking Voldemort, I have experienced more dark magic in the past year than you will in your life... oh and I am a better fit than last years DADA Professor, who turned out to be working with the Voldemort himself," YN said, "A foot long essay about Boggarts for next week, off you go," Maia walked up to YN's desk, 

"What did you want, Professor?" she asked,

"Have you ever seen Voldemort? In person?" YN asked Maia sat down opposite YN's desk,

"Once. I went to visit my sister at the ministry, she's an Auror trainer, see. There were poster's everywhere about Voldemort, old photo's of him and I overheard people talking about you. They said that you were destroying things that made Voldemort stronger, but they said it was too late and that Voldemort was too strong, even Hogwarts wasn't safe,"

"Hogwarts is the safest place on Earth, Maia. The work I did over summer has helped. I won't lie to you, Voldemort is getting stronger, but he is no-where near as strong as he was last time. And last time he was destroyed by two babies," YN winked at the last part, Maia smiled,

"Thank you, Professor," Maia said,

"Now, go and get some lunch," YN said. Maia left, YN sent a Patronus to Fred, asking him to join her,
