We're not so different

It was a new day for the students at Hogwarts and the fifth years were gathered up in class with Professor Remus.

"Say it with me now, Riddikulus!"

"RIDDIKULUS" The class replied.

"Good thing I'm not wearing a toupées, or you lot would have blown it away" He says making the class burst in short laughter. "Alright everyone get in a line and we can start one by one."

A few of the students had taken their turn, all of course were small fears, like spiders, clowns even the bed time horror: Lord Voldemort.

"I can't wait till my turn" Ginny said excitedly.

Y/n felt as though no one would understand or comprehend to her fear, even Ginny's would probably be something that others fear.

So she decided to sit on the chair at the back of the class and not participate in the class activities.

"Do we have a problem?" She looked up to see Remus with a confused facial expression.

"I don't want to do it" She said turning her head away from him to the students laughing at their fears.

"Why darling?" Professor Remus was also her Uncle Remus and unlike James and Sirius he tried his best to be kind to the young Potter.

"Because I don't want anyone else to know"

"Well I can't not let you do it or you'll fail"

"Please uncle? I'm begging you" She pleaded hoping he would soften for her.

"Alright how about this, after class when everyone leaves. Just you and I, that's when you'll do the spell and I can write a note to your next teacher telling them it's fine that you're late?"

"I mean, I rather not do it at all" she said smiling to him, only dropping it when she saw him stoick face. "Fine I'll do it after class"

Soon he left and Ginny came running to her.

"Oh my goodness that was amazing, why aren't you up there?" she asked breathing heavily from the adrenaline.

"What was yours about?"

"Oh, the boys never leaving me alone"As predicted, something small. "Why aren't you joining?"

"Oh, Cramps. Professor Remus told me to do it when I'm feeling better just to make sure of any slow reaction timing." Ginny nodded buying into the white lie.

"Awww hope you'll be alright" she said hugging her as they sat together for the duration of the lesson.

"Alright class, don't forget to practice even without the Boggart" Remus said watching as the vast students scurried out of class.

"You coming?" Ginny said grabbing her bag.

"I'll see you later I need to do ask my uncle something"

"Would you like me to wait for you?" Ginny was always kind to Y/n like this, even at their old school they'd stick together through everything.
