Still don't own Harry Potter, my sister owns
"Does it hurt terribly, Draco?" we heard Pansy say. Then Draco went all theatrical and said, "It comes and goes. Still... I consider myself lucky. According to Madam Pomfrey, another minute or two... and I could've lost the arm."
"The little git. He's really laying it on thick, isn't he?" Ron said.
"At least Hagrid didn't get sacked." Harry said.
"Yes. But I hear Draco's father's furious. I don't think we've heard the end of this..." Hermione told us. I didn't say anything. I knew that if I defended Draco they would ask questions. Questions I don't want to answer.
"He's been sighted!" we all turned and saw some Gryffindors crowding around Seamus, looking at the Daily Prophet.
"Who?" Ron asked. I looked down and saw my uncle… Sirius Black.
'He's innocent.' I thought. But no one would believe me. If they didn't believe Aunt Hope, Uncle Remus, or Rikki, they defiantly wouldn't believe me.
"Achintee? That's not far from here..." Hermione said.
"You don't think he'd come to Hogwarts, do you?" Neville asked.
"With the Dementors at every entrance?" Lavender asked.
"Dementors? He's already slipped by them once, hasn't he? Who's to say he can't do it again?" I said, with a slight smirk that nobody noticed. I saw a flicker of fear on Harry's face.
"That's right.' Bem said, 'Black could be anywhere. It's like trying to catch smoke. Like trying to catch smoke with your bare hands."
"Come on, Anna. Let's go see Uncle Remus. He might tell us his lesson plan tomorrow." I said. I grabbed her hand, bid the trio good night, and went to Uncle Remus and Rikki's office. It took us awhile, but we found the classroom.
"Hello Uncle Remus. Aunt Rikki. I and Anna were wondering, if you can-"
"No." Remus said, cutting me off.
"You didn't even know what I was going to say." I said.
"Cassie, I raised you since you were 1. I know what you think." He said with a smirk.
"Oh yeah, what am I thinking about right now?"
"Oh! A guessing game!' Rikki screamed with joy, 'Halloween! No? Um, Santa!"
"Sour skittles." Uncle Remus said.
"… good guess." I said.
"Anyways," Anna started, 'the reason why we're here is because dad is in Achintee."
"I can't wait in till Padfoot gets here. It's soooooooooooooooooooooooooo boring without him." Aunt Rikki said, pouting.
"Now, you go straight to bed." Uncle Remus said.
"But I'm not tried." I yawned.
"Yes you are, Anna, can you drag your cousin to your dorms… I think she might pass out." Remus said.
"Say good night too 'Brina, Amelia, and James for me, night." Rikki said.
"Night." And we both left for our dorms.
The next morning
That morning, I woke up to Anna screaming and jumping on my bed.
"Wake up! Come on Cassie! We don't want too be late for Uncle Remus' class! We already missed breakfast!"
'I hate mornings' I thought.
"I'm up." She kept on jumping. "I'm up." And she jumps more. "STOP JUMPING ON ME, OR I'LL TELL JAMES YOU HAVE A CRUSH ON HIM!" I yelled.
"Okay, I'm off." I looked up at her and saw her face as red as her hair.
"Now, what were you saying before?" I asked.
"Remus' class starts in 5 minuets." She said.
"And you just wake me up now!" I jumped out of my bed grabbed my uniform and extras, and went into the bathroom too change.
"I just woke up myself!" she yelled back at me. I put on my black and white leggings, my uniform, and my gold headband, put on gold eye shadow and red lipstick, and I was ready to go.
"Come on!" I grabbed her hand, and we both ran through the portrait, and into the hall.
"We have two minuets to be in there on time!" Anna said looking at her phone. We ran a little faster and… we made it with a second to spare.
"I... hate… running." I gasped.
"Me… too." Anna said with little breath. I saw Ron, and with all of my strength, I ran over to him and jumped him.
"Why didn't you wake me up, Ronald?" I yelled at him.
"Was I supposed to?" he asked.
"Well, you could have at least asked Hermione to wake us up." Anna said when she went to stand next to us.
"You owe me food, Ronald Weasley." I said, glaring at him with my killing look. Then, Uncle Remus came in, and I noticed a wardrobe.
"Intriguing, yes? Would anyone like to venture a guess as to what's inside?" Rikki asked.
"That's a Boggart, that is." Seamus said in a hushed voice.
"Very good, Mr. Finnigan. Can anyone tell us what a Boggart looks like?" asked Remus.
"No one knows." Ron, being Ron, jumps and saw Hermione.
"When'd she get here?" he whispered too Harry.
"Boggarts are shape-shifters. They take the shape of whatever a particular person fears most. That's what makes it so –" Hermione continued in till Uncle Remus interrupted her.
"Terrifying, yes. Luckily, a very simple charm exists to repel a Boggart. Let's practice it now, shall we? Without wands, please… Riddikulus!"
"Riddikulus!" we all shouted.
"It's this class that's ridiculous." I heard Draco say.
"I heard that dragon-git. Now, say you're sorry." Rikki said.
"I don't want to." He said.
"I'll tell your mother. Even after she was married to that git of a brother of mine, we are still like this." She crossed her fingers to prove her point.
"I'm sorry, Aunt Rikki." He said.
"Thank you. You can continue now, Remy." She said.
"Thank you, Professor Potter. Now to continue where we were, the incantation alone is not enough. What really finishes a Boggart off is... laughter. You need to force it to assume a shape you find truly amusing. Now, as a demonstration, Professor Potter will be the first one." He said.
"But I don't want to." She whined.
"Rikki, we had an agreement, I do the first day, and you do the second day." Remus whispered to Rikki.
"But you know how I get around them." She said, a bit panicked.
"You can do it,' he whispered, 'now, Professor Potter, if you will, step in front of the wardrobe." She reluctantly steps in front of it. Remus opened the door with his wand, and… a clown walks through.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" and Rikki fainted.
"How about we have a student do it." Remus said as he drags Rikki to a corner.
"Neville, how about you?" he said.
"Me?" he asked.
"Yes, just come on up, and say, Riddikulus." He instructed. Neville walked up there, and the clown changed into Professor Snape.
"Think, Neville. Think!" Remus shouted.
"R-r-riddikulus!" Neville said, and Snape's dark clothing turns into an old lady's outfit with a vulture on top of his head. We all started laughing.
"Ron! Forward!" Remus went over to his old record player, and turned it on.
Everyone went into a line with Ron in the front. The Boggart changed from Snape, to a big spider.
"Riddikulus!" and the spider now has roller skates. I went up next because I was behind Ron. The Boggart turns in to a really, really, really big bug.
"Riddikulus!" and the bug turns into… Shanaynay from Shane Dawson.
"Yo, it's Shay-Nay! Wait what am I doing here?" she asked. And I laughed really hard.
"Really, Cassie. You thought Shanaynay would be funny." Anna said. "We're in England. They probably don't know who he is."
"Fine. Riddikulus!" and Shanaynay turns into a frog dancing and saying "Hello my honey, hello my baby, won't you sleep tonight!" and then the class started laughing.
"Critics." I said.
"Parvati!" Remus said, and she stood up. The dancing frog changes into a vampire, and she screams, "Riddikulus!" and the vampire turns into Carmen Miranda, and she starts to dance. Once again, everyone was laughing their butts off.
"Mr. Thomas!" Dean steps in front of the line, the Boggart changes into a big cobra.
"What did I miss." Everyone looks at Aunt Rikki to see her standing.
"Riddikulus!" Dean yelled. The snake then turns into a jack-in-the-box with a clown.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" And Rikki faints once again.
"Cassie, Anna, would you please watch over Rikki." Uncle Remus asked. We walked over to her and sat down next too her.
"This is just going to be like the circus again, isn't it." Anna said.
"Of course it is." I said.
"Next!" I looked up to see that Harry was up next. I looked at Remus and saw flickers of concern. The Boggart changes into a… Dementor?
'I would have thought Voldemort.' I thought. Harry just freezes there. The music fades. Uncle Remus puts himself in between Harry and the Boggart.
"Here!" he shouted. The Boggart changes into Remus' worst nightmare… the full moon.
"Riddikulus!" the moon then deflates and flies through out the classroom, and then flies into the wardrobe.
"Well done, everyone. I think that's enough excitement for today." Remus said. All the students left, except for Anna, me, and Harry. Remus walks towards his office, looks back at Harry, and he exchanges a private glance, then left to go into his office. Harry looked at the wardrobe, and watched it rattle one last time.
"Cassie I need to talk to you." Remus said.
"I'll see you later." I said as I went into his office.
"Yes, Uncle Remus?" I asked.
"I heard you allowed Rikki to bring beer on campus." He said. "You're grounded from going to the Hogsmeade trips, in till I say so."
"But, you know that I wanted to go, ever since I heard about it." I said. "Why are you doing this?" I whined.
"I am your guardian, and I will decide when to or not to punish you." he explained.
"But, if I see any improvement, I might let you go early." He said after he saw my green eyes. He could never resist them.
"Okay Uncle Remus." I said. I went over to him, gave him a peck on the cheek, and left for class.
Sorry I haven't written in awhile. You know, there's this button that says "Review", I suggest you push it :P
