"OK class!!! Like take out your wands?"

We sat sniggering in the back of Professor BlooCoop's class at Rose who had transfigured her tennis shoes to sing at Analynne. "Row Row Row your obscure phrase gently down the random swear word."

"What are you four ladies doing?"

"Talking to our shoes. Whocoughexcuse me, what are you doing Professor Gouford?"

"I am attempting to teach the class Rose, 10 points from Gryffindor for your obscure shoes, and twenty for your rude disrespectful behavior. Oh, wait! There's more, you are breaking the dress code. No t-shirts, jeans, or artfully ripped robes. So all in all I will be taking 65 points from your house, including Mr. Potter, and spit out that gum now."

"I can't believe him!"

"I know," Analynne complained after class.

"You were pretty brutal too though! Whocough 'scuse me What are you doing? Damn! I could never have been so quick, to bad he caught on!"

"I have never seen anyone so evil in my life!"

"I completely agree Vic Val!!!" I agreed.

"Who we got next?"

"Hmmmm, if my calculations are correct then we should be going to Defense against the dark arts. Rumour has it that we are going to do stuff with some creature."

"Remember Professor Tonto's last creature?"

"Yeah!! I hope that he knows now that Thestrals cannot eat praying mantises!!!"

"I still can't believe that he murdered that poor little defenseless gold fish in front of us so that we could see the Thestrals! That's murderous and wrong and immoral and corrupt, and evil, and—" I was cut off

"It was a gold fish!"

"She was a gold fish! Rose, do you agree with me? You're the vegetarian!"

"Ummmm...yes, shame on you Vic Val and Analynne. Shame on you."

"Sit down class!! I have a special surprise today!!! You will be sharing your worst fears with the entire class and me!!! Doesn't that sound fun?! Then when they find out that you are most afraid of worms, they can take the opportunity to torture your little brains out! Let's go!"

"What the hell?" we all said in unison.

"Now, ladies and gentlemen, we will be working with a Boggart today. Can someone tell me what one of these fascinating creatures are?"

A majority of the class raised their hands. Professor Tonto looked around with his abnormally large head on a neck that was to thin.

"Nobody? Ok, I'll tell you, after all that is what I'm paid to do. A boggart is a creature that is very fascinating, in fact I once took a course on the, but promptly dropped after failing three tests, but that's off the point.

A boggart is a creature that takes form to your absolute worst fear. No body knows what it is when nobody is around, because even if thought it couldn't see you it would still take form of your fear, unless of course someone else was closer to it than you.

There are many theories surrounding the boggart, for example, some people think that it is a reaction of two spells residue that create the basic building blocks of a boggart. Others think that it is its own worst fear by itself. Some people think that they are actual creature and reproduce like most others. Many more theories exist, but we need to start class.

To rid your self of a boggart you simply cry 'Ridikkulus.' Now, who wants to go first?"

The class stood there silent, some of them even took a step backward, nobody was about to be the first in a Tonto experiment.

"Fine, then I'll just pick one of you. Analynne took a step behind the closest person, Rose steeped behind Sirius, Vic Val went behind Remus, and Remus stepped behind her and this pattern continued on and on. I looked around and realized that everyone but me had found a hiding place. I stood alone in the middle of the room doomed to be picked by Tonto. Crap. Maybe if I pull a James Bond and secretly roll out of the room and shoot that stupid boggart he wouldn't notice. Why can't I apparate???? I make my self as small as possible, without making any sudden movements. I back away slowly. Good thing I went camping a few years ago and they told us what to do about bad animals.

"Miss Evans, please join me at the front of the room, but spit out your gum first."

"No"

"Yes, you will spit out the gum."

"No, I don't want to go up."

"You will do what I say! Don't be afraid of worms or unwashed laundry!"

I join him bright red at the room's front. I am pissed and scared at the same time. People seemed to have suddenly reappeared from hiding spots.

"Now, remember, its Ridikkulus. Ready? Let's go!"

He opens the door, and I know what's coming.
