Draco's P.O.V.
"Draco!" Lupin shouts, snapping me out of my stupor. "It's your turn to face the boggart." I look at him, a smirk spreading across my face. "I'm not participating in your silly lesson," I say, my smirk growing. "Well," he looks at me, also smirking, "if you want to pass this class, you will be." I look back towards Pansy and Blaise. Pansy smiles sympathetically as Blaise nudges me forwards. My hands begin to shake, so I clench them into tight fists.
I step into the circle, wand raised at my side. I already knew what my boggart would be. The boggart begins to change shape, and suddenly, icy blue eyes are staring back at me. long, bleach blond cascades around his face.
I stare into the eyes of my father.
"You dare raise your wand to me?" he whispers, his voice silky smooth. My wand drops from my hand, forgotten.
"You're a disgrace. I've known it since the day you were born. You're only good for one thing," he says quietly. I shiver, knowing exactly what he meant.
"I-" I begin, but I choke on my words. "Do not speak!" He yells, his hand coming across my face sharply. "You know the rules," he says, smirking cruelly. I'm shaking, I know I am, but I can't stop. I know what he'll do next, so I brace myself.
"Cruci-" "Riddikulus!"
I look up and see Weasel standing in front of me. The whole class is staring at me, mouths open in shock. Before anyone can say anything, though, I run out of the classroom.
Ron's P.O.V.
Malfoy steps into the circle, his arrogant attitude dropping as the smirk falls from his face. The whole class, including myself, draws in an anxious breath, eager to know Draco's fear. The boggart begins to change shape, settling on taking on blond hair and cruel blue eyes.
It's Lucius Malfoy. "You dare raise your wand to me?" he asks, his voice a deadly quiet. The only sound that is heard is Draco's wand dropping to the floor beside him. Lucius begins a rant about how much of a failure and a disappointment Draco, his voice never raising above a whisper. I begin to feel sorry for him. But this is just his fear, right? He's just afraid of disappointing his father. This isn't real.
"You're only good for one thing," Lucius purrs seductively. Draco shivers.
Draco begins to try to speak, but he chokes on his words. His eyes are filled with fear. "Do not speak!" Lucius Booms. A loud, sharp slap is throughout the room, a handprint slowly forming on Draco's face. The whole class stares on in shock, myself included. Draco's Shaking like a leaf, obviously terrified.
"You know the rules," Lucius murmurs, a terrifying smile splitting his face. He lifts his wand. "Cruci-" he begins, but before he can cast the curse, I jump in front of Draco. "Riddikulus!" I yell out, banishing the boggart.
The whole class stares on in stunned silence. multiple people start to speak, but before anyone can get a word out, Draco sprints out of the room, taking the silence with him.
