Hermione Granger

The next one to go was Hermione Granger, she didn't know what to expect. She was clueless to what her biggest fear could be. Contrary to popular beliefs Hermione's thoughts and feelings were a mess. Everyone thought she was all Miss Perfect, and that couldn't be more far away from the truth.

She forced herself to talk, act and even, sometimes, think like others expected her to, she didn't even recognize herself. She was there, but it was not her, not really. She lost herself in a maze, a maze that could lead her back to herself, if only she somehow managed to don't lose what little of her true self she still has in the process. She was a mystery to herself, so, what could her boggart be?

Hermione took a step forward, she took deep breaths, tighter the hold she had to her wand and opened her eyes.

The boggart twisted and twisted until a replica of Hermione was standing there, its face emotionless, surrounding her, three people, her beloved ones, her friends, her heart family, Harry, Ron and Ginny. The three of them were surrounding her, their faces exploded with rage, anger, their eyes glittered with fire "you are a disgrace to the wizarding world" hissed Ron, he raised his wand, looked at boggart Hermione straight in the eye with such a hate that Hermione couldn't stop tears from escaping her eyes, and murmured "petrificus totalus" the spell hit her straight in the chest, her wand fell to the floor as her body was forced to stay still "and you thought you were our friend? Why would we be friends with a mudblood like you?" Ginny took a step forward, her face centimeters away from Hermione's "we" she said "were only using you" she glared at Hermione, took a step backward, raised her hand and punched boggart Hermione straight in the face. Boggart Hermione couldn't move, couldn't defend herself, and was forced to stay still until she received the punch. "you are useless" Harry took a step forward to stand at the same level Ron and Ginny where "you are a waste of space" he raised his wand "you are a plague to the Wizarding World" Harry looked at Ron, then at Ginny and then back at Hermione "and you shall be dead" Ginny and Ron raised their wands and the three of them, at the same time said "Avada kedavra" boggart Hermione fell to the floor, her eyes empty as her body was too.

Hermione raised her wand and tried to say the word, but nothing came out, not a word, she tried again and again, but her voice refused to work. She could only stand there and watch her friends say those dreadful words and she was not being able to do anything. She had never in her life felt so useless, why was she not able to do what she was supposed to do? One word, that's all she had to do, yet she couldn't do it.

Hermione was crying, a river of tears streaming down her eyes, her body felt heavy, her legs trembled. As the final spell hit her boggart self Hermione couldn't bear it anymore, she left out a sob as her wand fell out of her hand.

Ron, out of instinct, took his wand out of his pocket and stood in front of Hermione, ready to face his boggart if it meant that that stupid tortured stoped for Hermione.
