Chap 2: Scary Lover
"Intriguing isn't it?" said professor Lupin. Watching the children as they watched in awe and nervousness as the cupboard moved and shuddered. "Would anyone like to venture a guess as to what is inside?"
Morpheus watched with little fascination before saying "It's a boggart sir"
Lupin looked at the boy, a look of impressiveness on his face before continuing "Well done Mr Riddle. Now can anyone tell me what a boggart looks like?"
The second Lupin's mouth closed Hermione's opened and began a lecture about a boggart. Morpheus couldn't concentrate; he kept on staring at Hermione. He didn't know what it was but he thought she looked angelic. Lupin carried on with his lecture yet Morpheus still couldn't concentrate, he kept sneaking glances at Hermione, who noticed but didn't face him. He was still in his daydream until he heard the professor say "Riddikulus". The whole class repeated including Morpheus. He began his daydream again sneaking glances at Hermione. That was until the door opened and Professor Snape stepped out. "Riddikulus!" shouted Neville. Then to Morpheus' surprise the professor was in the strangest clothes he'd ever seen.
Lupin began laughing "Well done Neville, well done. Everyone form a line". One by one the students managed to make a poorly constructed line.
Morpheus POV
I managed to get in the line without any hassle; I was in front of Harry and behind a girl I believed was called Parvati. I saw Ron go up first and saw the boggart turn into a gigantic spider, from the look on Ron's face he was utterly petrified. "Riddikulus". The spider in question donned a lot of roller skates and began its dance routine. Parvati was up next the boggart turned into a giant snake. Each second that went by I was getting more worried about what the boggart would appear like before me. And there was one memory that truly terrified me. I felt a nudge at my shoulder. I turned my head to face Harry "Hey, are you okay?" his face full of concern.
"Not really" I said with a blank expression before turning back round. Parvati went to the back and I was facing the boggart. The second I approached it, it started shifting into the one thing I prayed it wouldn't, the girl I loved. Artemis.
"Hello Morpheus" my mind had gone blank. I looked at her with a blank expression across my face. "How could you leave me?" she continued, "I loved you and you ran from me and your family. I paid the price" she said, my face stayed completely frozen in naturalness as I refused to look away. I never cried but Jonas had known me so long to tell, whenever I froze, I may as well have been sobbing.
"I…I didn't know what he would do to Y…you" I said, Lupin's expression growing more and more concerning.
"I loved you" she pleaded, putting more strain on her voice. "And you did this" She whispered the last part, before shadows morphed on the floor to reveal my father. Voldemort walked up to her from behind and without a word, just a look of pure evil, raked his long, claw like nails across her throat, I dropped to my knees as I heard the rest of the class gasp in terror at what they had just witnessed. I was in a world of despair, I relived my worst moment and it broke me, something I vowed I would never be. I was strong, so with one final effort I looked up and said "Riddikulus!" Instantly the scene morphed, Artemis was no longer dead, and Voldemort was wearing a bonnet dress. Artemis began whacking him with up the ass with a golf club she was wielding all the while saying "You're so stupid Tommy". The shocked faces of the class were replaced by looks of sheer joy as the class began howling and laughing, but I couldn't bring myself to laugh, not after what I just witnessed. I slowly stood up and made my way to back of the line some people looking at me with sympathy. The rest of the class still in hysterics after witnessing Voldemort in a pink bonnet dress. The rest of the class was a blur, aside from the incident with Harry's boggart turning into a Dementors, I thought he would fear my father most of all. I was wrong.
After the class was dismissed I made my way to the professor to sign myself up to the duelling club. Although it was obvious what a moron Lockhart was, it was a good idea to use practical spells. After I wrote my name down on the roster Lupin approached me. "Are you okay Morpheus?" he asked concern evident in his voice.
"Yeah…I'm okay" I said shakily.
"Do you want to talk about it?" he asked walking towards me.
"I don't really think I'm ready to talk about what I just saw"
Deciding not to pry further he simply said "Alright"
Line Break
I could feel everyone's eyes on me as I entered the hall for breakfast, no doubt the story of what had happened to me and the boggart spread round the school like wildfire. I walked over to where Jonas was sitting and sat down next to him, Harry and Ron and across from them was…Hermione. "Hey" said Jonas.
"Sup" I said, non-chalantly. "Hey guys" I said to Harry and Ron.
Harry and Ron said there hello's before Harry said "Oh, Morpheus, this is Hermione" I extended my hand towards her and she shook it.
"It's a pleasure" I said "I hear that you're supposed to be the smartest witch in our year" Hermione flushed at the comment, so I knew I had gotten the desired effect.
"It's nice to meet you too" She said, still flushed. We all began talking amongst each other until it was time for lessons. Harry, Ron and Hermione all wearing massive grins on their faces, while me and Jonas looked confused. That was until I realised, it was time for Hagrid's lesson.
Hey guys, second chap done. If anyone had any other suggestions about who to pair my OC up with share it. Next chapter will be Hagrids lesson with some major differences.
