Ch 3: The Boggart
Melissa's POV:
Jenna and I were walking down the forest which Jenna kept calling a 'rain forest.' It was so humid that I almost suffocated. Then suddenly, I got really tired. I just remembered that yesterday, I didn't sleep until 12:00 because I was too hyper. I ate a lot of…stuff. I really wanted to lie down and rest but Jenna was following me so I had to make sure we got out first.
"Are you sure you know where we're going?" Jenna asked.
"No, go ahead without me. I think I'll just lie down and sleep," I answered, yawning. "Aww, the sun's too bright."
"Mel, we're in a serious situation here," Jenna said. I could tell she was annoyed but like I care.
"Fine, just follow me. But I'm only doing this because of the sun," I said.
We walked for a really long time. I lost count between the hours. Then suddenly, I saw another something, just like I did before, when we were in the world of nothingness. We went over and were glad to see that the forest, and the humidity, ended. The other side was really dark. I don't think that it even had a sun. I was really HAPPY because I can fall asleep easily. I led Jen over. This time, it actually was a forest, not a rain forest. It kind of looked like the forbidden forest at Hogwarts but I've never been there…yet.
"It's dark! YAY!" I screamed and leaned back on the trunk of a tree.
"But it's spooky," Jenna said uncertainly.
"Who cares, it's dark!" I closed my eyes and started to sleep. Then I woke up again. "Something isn't right. I know. Accio sleeping bag!" To my surprise, a real sleeping bag came. I started to sleep when Jen woke me up.
"Mel, there's something there…" I looked up. There was a hole in the tree, which was natural. From that hole, a shadow was protruding. That was unnatural, counting the fact that there was no light. I quickly got up and ran behind Jen.
"It's a dementor!" I yelled on the top of my lungs.
"Shut up!" Jenna hissed.
The dementor went closer and closer to Jenna, who was busy trying to cast the Patronus spell and not succeeding.
"I'll save you Jenna!" I yelled stupidly. "Expecto Patro…" I fell asleep in front of Jenna. I knew that was stupid but I was too tired to think. I heard Jenna yelling but I was too tired to hear almost all of it. All I heard was boggart, not that I knew what that meant. "Ravenclaws," I thought. "They know everything." I fell asleep. Just then, I heard an alarm clock ringing loudly in my ear.
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrgh!" I screamed and whipped out my wand. I looked around and noticed that the dementor had turned into the alarm clock. "Great! First, we are stuck in the world and nothingness and then the so-called 'rain forest' and now, we have dementors turning into alarm clocks. What next! This is RIDICULOUS!" Suddenly, a jet of light shot out from my wand and the dementor/boggart disappeared. "Oops, what did I just do?"
"You made the boggart go away. Great job!"
"What's a boggart?"
"Shut up and lead the way." Jenna grumbled. We walked for a short while when we spotted someone familiar. It was the Slytherin first year, Esmeralda Sylvan. I called out to her but Jenna told me to shut it. I called anyway. She turned and looked us over. Jenna whipped out her wand, ready for a duel. Her opponent looked ready too.
"Help out," Jenna said.
"You duel, me, I'm staying neutral. I need some sleep." I went over to another tree trunk, got another sleeping bag and made sure that there were no weird dementors and fell asleep, almost.
A/N: I know it's not much. Please review.
