Samantha suffered through Potions class, luckily Snape didn't even try to harass her in class which made her life ten times easier.

George sat next to Samantha and he knew something was bothering her, but he didn't want to question her, he was scared she would break down crying.

"Are you excited for Defense against the dark arts?" George asks waiting for Samantha to pack up her stuff. Samantha just shrugs her shoulders and puts it over her shoulder.

"Hey do you want to hang out with me later? We can go sneak down to the kitchen, and just talk." George says trying to cheer her up slightly. A small smile appears on her face at George's words and she nods her head.

"That sounds really nice Georgie." Samantha whispers and George smiles. He wraps an arm around her shoulder and the two of them make their way to their next class.

Once they get to the classroom, all the tables and chairs were placed on the sides of the classroom leaving a large open area in the classroom.

There was a a large closet that was in the corner of the room and it was shaking slightly, Samantha didn't know what was in it and she honestly didn't feel like finding out.

More students trailed inside the classroom, Fred walked over and stood beside George giving Samantha a small smile but she doesn't give him one back, she wasn't in the mood for any more drama today.

"Hello class. I've heard that your last three years have been interesting with your Defense professors, so I thought we could do a review for the first few weeks since your OWLS are this year. We will be starting with some third year material, Bogarts." Remus says and everyone starts to whisper to each other quietly.

"That's probably what's in the closet." Samantha whispers to George and he nods his head agreeing with her, Fred wanted to say something as well but was interrupted by professor Lupin.

"Now what is the way to get rid of a boggart?" Remus asks the class his eyes flickering towards Samantha, making sure that she was doing okay.

"A spell professor." A Slytherin says and Remus smiles at the student nodding his head.

"Correct! A simple spell called, ridikulus." Remus says and the class repeats it back making him smile more.

"Laughter is what gets rid of a boggart, it confuses them because they can not sense your fear. George! Come up here please." Remus says and George smiles walking up near the closet.

"Now George when I open the closet door I want you to think of something funny. Okay gather your wand," George takes his wand out and gives Lupin a small head nod, "great here we go." Remus says opening the closet.

A blurry figure comes out, and spins around until the figure turns into a large snake. George seems to freeze for a second before he shouts the spell, "ridikulus!" The snake all of a sudden had a tutu and a pink bow on top of its head.

The class burst out into laughter and everyone starts to go into a line. Samantha was behind Fred and only a few other kids were in front of him.

The fears of the students were spiders, snakes, one was a Snape which Samantha felt horrible for that student, but her stomach started to hurt from laughing so hard.

Soon it was Fred's turn and he grips his wand tightly, Samantha watched curiously wanted to know what his greatest fear was.

All of a sudden the boggart spun around and a replication of Samantha stood in front of Fred. Samantha frowns slightly looking in between Fred and the boggart confused.
