Kagome skipped down the hall, intending on skipping her History of Magic class, she made her way towards the DADA class, she wouldn't get to have the same lesson as Harry and Draco, being that she was in her second year and they were in their third, but all the same, she wanted to see what they would be doing in class. She saw Harry, Blaise and Theodore off to the side, laughing about something Honey had just said.

"Blaise!" Kagome called in a whisper from the door.

"Kagome?"

A hand on her shoulder motioned her in and she turned to see Remus Lupin smiling down at her. "Everyone ready? Class will begin in just a moment, I have a very special lesson for you all,"

"Not a Hippogriff, I hope."

Kagome turned to see Draco leaning against the wall of the classroom.

Remus laughed, "No, not a Hippogriff, unless you want it to be," he joked.

Draco's eyes widened slightly as he shook his head.

"Everyone is here, I hope,"

No one said otherwise, a couple people looked curiously at Kagome who had been pulled behind Blaise and Theodore.

"What are you doing here?"

Kagome jumped and turned to see Hermione standing behind her, "When did you get here?!"

"I was always here,"

Kagome and Theodore shared a look, but neither said anything. Kagome looked back at Hermione and gave her a pleading smile.

Hermione rolled her eyes, "Whatever, don't come complaining to me if you get in trouble,"

"Don't worry, my complaints are strictly reserved for Professor Snape," Kagome grinned.

"Anyways, if you will all follow me," Remus pointed to the door next to him, "our lesson awaits."

Kagome followed between Draco and Hermione, trying to blend in with the others as she did only a glare from Pansy seemed to be the offsetting factor to her plan. In fact, she had to wonder why exactly she hadn't called her out on it yet. A cold smirk from Pansy told her that the slightly older girl had every intention of ratting her out...just not yet.

"Everyone in?"

The room looked exactly like the classroom they had just left, except for the large wardrobe in the middle of the classroom; a mirrored door reflected their selves and a loud thumping from inside caused the students to crowd together in the back of the room.

Kagome moved forward a bit, she stood at the front of the wardrobe, raising her hand a bit, she made to touch it when a larger hand caught hers.

"Intriguing, isn't it..." Remus smiled.

Kagome looked at him, he did look worn, very tired, drained, and rough, but he had such kind eyes, sad...but kind. She wondered why his eyes held a sad glimmer, surely not because of anything werewolf related, right?

"Would anyone like to venture a guess as to what is inside? Perhaps...our inquisitive friend?" He looked Kagome carefully in the eye, watching as she smiled and turned back to the class, taking her place beside Hermione as she did so.

"If I were to venture a guess, I'd say inside your wardrobe is a Bogart, a household spirit with shape shifting capabilities."

Remus nodded, "Very good, very good...now...you're a Gryffindor, correct?"

Kagome nodded.

He smiled, "Right, your tie can be very misleading, ten points to Gryffindor, and can anyone tell me what a Bogart looks like? Yes, Zabini,"

"Bogart's are shapeless, they have no form, having long ago forgotten what they look like, they take on the form of whatever it is a person fears the most."

"Yes, ten points to Slytherin; yes that is what makes a Bogart so terrifying, but luckily, a very simple charm exists to repel a Bogart," He looked back at the wardrobe as the Bogart inside thumped loudly against it. "Lets practice it now," he said, turning back to the class as they started pulling out their wands, "Ah, without wands...please." The students put their wands back up, "Repeat after me, Riddikulus~"

"Riddikulus~"

"Very good, a little louder, very clear...listen...Ri-dikk-u-lus~"

"RIDDIKULUS~"

"Very good, but the incantation alone isn't enough, what really finishes off a Bogart, is laughter, you need to force it to assume a shape that you find truly amusing," Remus looked at the confused faces, "Let me explain, um, Neville! Would you join me please?"

Neville, as well as most of the students in the class, gave an uncertain look at the choice of demonstration.

"Don't be shy, come on, come on..."

Neville practically waddled up front.

"Hello," Remus smiled, "Neville, what frightens you most of all?"

Kagome had to strain her ears to hear him, but even then, she only caught mumbles.

"Sorry?" Remus too couldn't hear his reply.

"Professor Snape," Neville responded louder,

"Professor Snape~" The class laughed, even Remus had found humor in that. Kagome however, did not. She couldn't see the fear factor in her Potions Professor, he was so kind to her, and watched out for all of them, what was there to be afraid of? "...frightens all...and I believe you live with your grandmother,"

"Yes, but I don't want that Bogart to turn into her either,"

Kagome smiled with most of the class at that, a few more laughing. She honestly could care less if Pansy ratted her out now, this was proving to be humorous in all the right places, and she didn't want to miss it for anything.

"No, it wont," Remus glanced back at the loud thumping and turned his gaze back to Neville, "I want you to picture her clothes, only her clothes, very clearly in your mind."

"...she carries...a red handbag,"

"We don't need to hear, as long as you see it, we'll see it," Remus stopped Neville before he gave a descriptive speech of his grandmothers clothes, "Now when I open the wardrobe, here's what I want you to do," he stepped up next to Neville and started to whisper in the nervous boys ears.

Kagome smiled as she watched Neville nod when asked by Remus if he could 'do that', whatever that was.

"Wand at the ready! ...one...two...three..." he waved his wand, silently, no words were uttered, and the door gave a creak as it opened,

Kagome watched in slight surprise as Professor Snape came walking out, intimidating as ever, when Neville raised his wand and yelled out, "Riddikulus!"

"..." Her mouth dropped when the teacher she respected most changed clothes to an ugly green dress, a nasty looking hat with a stuffed bird on it, a dead animal around his neck, a red hand bag, and tacky shoes. "Professor..."

The class was laughing, but Kagome wasn't pleased, not in the least, she was mortified, completely unhappy with the insult to the Slytherin Head of House.

"Form a line, lets go!"

Kagome found herself right in front of Harry, she wasn't sure what she was afraid of, well, she had an idea, but how would a Bogart replicate that?

Remus put on a fun record and the mood picked up as everyone started to get excited.

She watched the silliest things go about, from a fear of spiders, to a fear of Snakes, to her...it changed, or tried to...it seemed to be having difficulty pegging her fear, she wasn't surprised though. Finally, it chose a form she could have done her entire life seeing...nothing humorous could come from this, and she wanted to do nothing more than cover her eyes, scream, and cry. Her fathers body lay before her, bloodied and lifeless, and his eyes hollow as they gazed straight at her. She stumbled and Remus stepped in front of her, the whole class had gone silent, no one was laughing, no one was speaking, there was nothing to say. The Bogart changed to Remus's fear of the moon, and changed to that of a balloon running out of air before he locked it up tightly back into the Wardrobe.

Hermione held Kagome in her arms as Kagome shook in fear of the image, a nightmare that was sure to keep her awake at night.

"Alright, enough of this, class dismissed, you can't have too much of a good thing, after all." Remus watched as most of the class left. "Is there something you and your friends need, Mr. Malfoy?"

Draco ignored his professor and made his way straight to Kagome who let him pick her up, since his arm was healed, he was fine. Kagome's arms were wrapped tightly around his shoulders as he carried her out of the room, crying, scared, and hurt by the image. Everyone except for Harry followed Draco to the Infirmary.

"Professor, what was she afraid of?" Harry asked.

Remus looked at Harry, "...Death...a Bogart has problems pinning a form to Death, and so it goes after the closest person to the one with that fear, for Kagome, that's her father."

Harry frowned, "...can I please...give it a go?"

Remus looked carefully at Harry, and finally...he nodded, waving his wand, the Wardrobe opened...Harry stepped up and let his mind think of his greatest fear...but for some reason, even if it scared him, he felt ashamed that his fear seemed like nothing...in comparison to Kagome's.
