Yup! It's that time again, featuring that supersonic speedster: Rocket J. Squirrel, and his Pal: Bullwinkle The Moose and a Host of others. I do not own Harry Potter, or other related characters or expanding universes. I also don't own Rocky and Bullwinkle though I do own two seasons on DVD. Anyway. Enjoy. If you're good I'll see again before Christmas, if not, then I'll see you in January! :)
Psychotic
September 6th, 1993
Fifth Year
During dinner Professor Lupin sat next to Professor Sprout and very quietly said, "Pomona, you have a potential problem with two of your students. One has an unhealthy dependency on the other and don't even get me started on the other's obvious psychosis." Pomona looked at him, slightly startled, her students? Psychotic? What on earth was he talking about?
"Which two students are these, Remus?"
"Leilani and Jocelyn. Leilani's boggart is Jocelyn dead and Jocelyn's boggart is your first year students dead. The psychotic thing is, instead of turning the boggart into something humorous, she turned it into dead death eaters!" Pomona Sprout nearly choked on her dinner when she tried not to laugh, that sounded like Jocelyn all right!
She said, "I'll handle it Remus, Thank you," and proceeded to gulp down the wine in her goblet.
After dinner Professor Sprout summoned the girls to green house three, where they could have some privacy.
"Girls, I'm afraid you've worked Professor Lupin into quite a worry."
"But we haven't done anything…" Leilani protested.
"He's under the impression that Jo needs psychiatric help, and I wouldn't be surprised if he thinks the same of you, Leilani."
"Psychi—Ohh," Leili said as she figured it out, "This is about our boggarts, isn't it?" Professor Sprout nodded, "Damn," she swore as she sat on one of the tables swinging her feet back and forth. Normally, since she was all of 15, she was averse to swearing but she felt this time it was warranted.
"I don't need to have my head analyzed, Dead death eaters, it's a pun," Jo explained, pulling up a stool, "it was funny."
"He didn't see it that way, he saw it more as you taking revenge for the students they 'killed'." Jo didn't tell her that that was also probably a bit true. "He thinks you have an unhealthy dependence on Jo, Leilani; is that true?" Leili thought about it a moment then said,
"Technically. But it's not unhealthy, I've just known her since I was 9, so yeah I think I'm a little dependent on her. She's my best friend."
"Aww, Leili!" Jo gushed.
Leili shrugged, "It's true."
"So whatcha gonna do 'bout it?" Jo asked, looking at their head of house who shrugged.
"What can I do about it? I could, I guess, refer you both to a therapist…"
"Oh, please no," Leili protested.
"Why not? All they do is try to help."
"The students already have to see therapists whenever something bad happens for post traumatic evals, I think if I had to see someone regularly, my head would explode."
"And you Jocelyn? Do you also feel your head would explode?"
"Nah, I just wouldn't go."
"Well, we wouldn't want that, would we?"
Professor Sprout grinned as the girls chorused, "Definitely not."
"Very well then, off you go, back to your dormitory; don't forget to study, we do have a test next week, whether your heads have exploded or not. Oh, and girls? Try not to make Professor Lupin worry overly much, would you? He's already got quite a bit on his mind these days, poor dear."
"Yes, Professor," they agreed.
