A few hours later, Violet lay awake unable to fall asleep. She shut her eyes, trying to force herself to sleep. Every time she closed her eyes, she kept seeing the Dementors. Finally, Violet decided she wasn't going to get much sleep. She quietly got out of bed. She tiptoed down the stairwell. As she entered the common room, she looked around to make sure no one was there. She snuck over the couch by the fireplace. It was her favorite place to sit. She sat down and stared at the fire.
"Can't sleep?" Violet nearly jumped off the couch, hearing someone else. Harry peered around from the chair he was sitting.
"You scared the living daylights out of me," Violet said. "I didn't think anyone was in here."
"Usually no one is," Harry said getting up from the chair. He sat down next to Violet. "Can't sleep?" Violet nodded her head. "Me either."
"It's those creepy Dementors," Violet said. "Every time I close my eyes, I see them."
"I know how you feel," Harry said. "But at least you didn't pass out." Violet shrugged. "Why is that anyways? The Dementor was coming towards both of us, why didn't you pass out?"
"I don't know," Violet said. "I just shut my eyes and started thinking about the vacation I took with my parents. I didn't want to think about the Dementor or how cold I felt." Harry nodded, running a hand through his very messy black hair.
"They just really have me freaked out," Harry said.
"Well maybe you can talk to Professor Lupin about it," Violet said. "He knows some kind of spell that stopped the Dementor from hurting you anymore. I bet he could teach you."
"Yeah," Harry said. "I'll have to speak with him about that." The conversation fell into a comfortable silence, as the two stared at the fire. Finally, Violet stood.
"Well I guess we should both try and go to sleep now," Violet said. Harry sighed and stood.
"Well only if I can get those stupid Dementors out of my head," Harry said.
"Just try and think of something positive," Violet said. "Like maybe you're first Quidditch game? That outta help you."
"Yeah I guess," Harry said. "Thanks Violet." Violet smiled before heading upstairs to go to sleep.
The eager third year students sat in the classroom for Defense Against the Dark Arts. After having two different teachers for the class, no one knew what to expect.
"Good morning class," Professor Lupin said. "First thing's first, everyone stand up and move towards the center of the room." They all did so and with a flick of his wand, Professor Lupin sent all the desks to the far sides of the room. "For our first lesson, we will be learning about boggarts. Does anyone know what a boggart is?" Hermione raised her hand. "Ms. Granger."
"A boggart is a creature that shape-shifts into the form of the viewer's worst fear," Hermione answered.
"Very good," Professor Lupin said. "And does anyone know how to stop a boggart?" Hermione raised her hand again. "Anyone besides Ms. Granger?" Violet cautiously raised her hand. "Ah yes, Miss Daniels,"
"The charm Riddikulus," Violet answered. "But it doesn't matter how you say it or how you wave your wand."
"Precisely!" Professor Lupin said, with a smile. "What really matters is your ability to concentrate and push past the fear. Miss Daniels, since you answered the question about the charm, would you care to go first?" Violet nodded and stepped forward. Lupin walked towards a cabinet. Violet stared at it curiously. Lupin then opened the door. Out stepped what looked like Violet's adoptive mother. Mrs. Daniels stepped towards Violet scowling and pointing angrily. Violet bit her lip before taking a deep breath. She closed her eyes to concentrate. She opened her eyes, a smirk on her face.
"Riddikulus!" She shouted pointing her wand at the boggart. It changed from her mother scowling, to her mother making the most ridiculous faces at Violet. Violet began laughing, a huge smile across her face.
"Fantastic job," Professor Lupin said. Violet bit her lip, to quiet her laughter and stepped aside. The rest of the class continued, all successfully defeating the boggart. Harry stepped forward and the boggart started to grow in size, into a large cloaked figure. Harry's eyes widened. Lupin quickly stepped in front of Harry and the boggart turned into a white circular object. Lupin quickly cast the charm. He then quickly closed the closet.
"Well good job today," Lupin said. "Class is over. See you next class." All the students started to filter out. Violet walked up to Harry, who was still standing in the same spot.
"You alright?" Violet asked, offering him his belongings.
"Fine," Harry grumbled, grabbing them from his hands. He stormed out of the room. Violet looked after him leaving sadly.
"He'll be fine," Violet turned around to see Professor Lupin. "His pride will recover." Violet smiled a little bit. "Miss Daniels, you did very well today."
"Thank you," Violet said. "I read a bit on boggarts last year. My first two years here, I spent a lot of time in the library."
"Nothing wrong with that," Professor Lupin said. Violet smiled. "Well you better go. You wouldn't want to be late for your next class." Violet nodded and headed out of the classroom.
