"Why?" George asks.
"They're bad people. People you don't want to mess with and I'm afraid of what they'll do"
"Who are they?"
"I'd rather not say, but they're dangerous" I say.
"We're not afraid of them. And you shouldn't be afraid of 'what they'll do'. I'm not running because I found out your family is evil or something like that. I love you and you're like my sister" George says, pulling me into a hug.
"And you're my girlfriend" Fred says, hugging me as well "We don't care if they're dangerous, we just want you to know that we love you, no matter who or what they are"
"I love you guys" I say, pulling away.
I kiss George's cheek and peck Fred's lips.
"Save that for when you're alone" George says, groaning.
I suddenly get an idea and pull Fred forwards, kissing him passionately. He kisses back and rests his hands on my waist as George runs to the door and leaves, me pulling back and chuckling. I pull Fred into a short kiss.
"Let's go before Harry starts asking where you are"
"I'm pretty-"
"Yes you are"
"Sure he's already occupied" I continue, giving Fred a look.
"Am I wrong?" Fred asks, pouting a little.
"Yes" I say and peck his cheek "Let's go" I say.
~~~~~
In my first Defence Against the Dark Arts class, there is a wardrobe standing in the middle of the room, bouncing and moving around.
"Intriguing, isn't it?" Remus asks. The wardrobe keeps shaking, as if it's trying to get free "Would anyone like to venture a guess... As to what is inside?"
"That's a boggart, that is" Dean says.
"Very good, Mr Thomas" it shakes "Now, can anybody tell me what a boggart looks like?" Remus asks.
"No one knows" Hermione says, making me turn to her, confused.
"When did she get here?" Ron asks.
"Boggarts are shape-shifters. They take the shape of whatever a particular person fears the most. That's what makes them so-"
"So terrifying, yes, yes, yes" it shakes "Luckily, a very simple charm exists to repel a boggart" and again "Let's practice it now. Uh, without wands, please. After me. Riddikulus!"
"Riddikulus" we all call out.
"Very good. A little louder and very clear. Listen: Riddikulus!"
"Riddikulus!" the class chants louder.
"This class is ridiculous" I hear Draco say, making me turn to him.
I roll my eyes at him, but turn to the front.
"Very good. Well, so much for the easy part. You see, the incantation alone is not enough. What really finishes a boggart is laughter. You need to force it to assume a shape you find truly amusing. Let me explain. Uh, Neville, would you join me, please?" Remus asks, Neville looking around in fear "Come on, don't be shy. Come on"
"Hey, Neville" I call, making him turn it me "You got this"
Neville nods his head at me. He walks to Remus, his head a little low.
"Hello. Neville, what frightens you most of all?"
"Pro-es-or Sn-pe" I hear Neville mumble.
"Sorry?" Remus asks.
"Professor Snape" Neville says a little louder, the class laughing at him.
"Professor Snape" Remus says, chuckling "Yes, frightens all"
"Scares the hell out of me and I'm a Slytherin" I say, Neville chuckling lightly as he turns to me. I smile reassuringly at him, and he turns back to Remus.
"And I believe you live with your grandmother"
"Yes, but I don't want that boggart to turn into her, either" Neville says, the class laughing again.
"No... It won't. I want you to picture her clothes. Only her clothes, very clearly, in your mind"
"She carries a red handbag-" Neville starts.
"We don't need to hear. As long as you see it, we'll see it. Now, when I open that wardrobe, here's what I want you to do. Excuse me" Remus says and goes to Neville, leaning down to his ear "Image professor Snape in your grandmother's clothes" Remus whispers, making me laugh.
"Sorry. That must be... Very embarrassing for Snape" I say, laughing again.
"Can you do that?" Remus asks Neville. The wardrobe moves "Yes. Wand at the ready" Remus takes his own wand "1... 2... 3" Remus counts and uses his wand to open the wardrobe.
The door creaks open as Snape becomes visible, holding the side of it.
"Think, Neville, think" Remus encourages.
Snape walks forward as the door closes, going to Neville.
"Riddikulus!" Neville yells.
Snape steps back as his clothes change into a green dress, bright red handbag, and a green hat with a dead vulture on it. The class, including me, laughing.
"Wonderful, Neville, wonderful! Incredible! Okay, to the back Neville. Everyone form a line"
Everyone was shoving and pushing not it be first, but Crabbe pushes everyone forwards as they try going back.
"Neville. That was brilliant" I say, putting a hand on his shoulder.
"T- thanks" Neville says, looking down.
"Form a line. I want everyone to picture the thing they fear the very most... And turn it into something... Funny. Next... Ron!" Remus calls and puts on music.
Ron slowly scampers forward, looking at Snape.
"Concentrate. Face your fear. Be brave!"
"You can do this Ron!" I call.
Snape begins to morph and turns into an enormous black widow spider, Ron whimpering a little in fear.
"Wand at the ready, Ron, wand at the ready" Remus says as Ron gets his wand out.
"Riddikulus!" he shouts, the spider getting rollerskates on its 8 legs. It tries to stand as everyone's laughing.
"You see? Very good, very good" Remus says as the spider falls on its stomach "Marvelous! Absolutely, very, very enjoyable! Parvati! Next!"
Ron comes to the back of the line, meeting me.
"That was great" I say, giving him a high five.
"Show us what you see" Remus says.
The spider then morphs into a giant snake, hissing at everyone in the room.
"Keep your nerve. Steady"
"Riddikulus!" Parvati casts, turning the snake into a creepy Jack-in-the-box, everyone laughing.
"And next! Step up, step up! Wonderful! Wonderful!" Remus says.
Harry steps forward as everyone is still laughing. The boggart turns into a dementor, and goes for Harry, making a low, disgruntled growl.
"Here!" Remus yells and run in front of Harry, the boggart changing into a full moon. Remus just pauses for a second, before waving his wand "Riddikulus!" he yells, the moon turning into a balloon and popping, flying around.
It glides around the classroom until it hits the wardrobe, Remus using his wand to close the door.
"Right, well, sorry about that. That's enough for today. If you'd all like to collect your books from the back of the class. That's the end of the lesson. Thank you! Sorry! Sorry, you can have too much of a good thing" Remus says, the class groaning.
I go to Harry and hold his shoulder.
"You good?" I ask lightly.
"Y- yeah" Harry says, looking at me, then back at the wardrobe.
