Chapter 8: The boggart

Lukas's pov:

Arthur and I decided to join up with the rest of hogwartians. Madeline and her aide Kiet, Radko and his aide Gupta, Vash and his aide Yao. So it would be at least a hogwarts victory.

All of the other schools had had the same idea.

We had to research for the first task. It was a surprise so they have to be prepared for anything. Right now we are researching spells that would give the an edge whatever they were up against.

After 4 days of this Professor Longbottom came in to tell them we (me and Arthur) had a very important defence against the dark arts lesson we couldn't miss. The others had taken it already. We packed up our stuff and went to defence against the dark arts.

When we arrived we found the whole of our year there. Also Juliana and a few others from the schools.

"This is a very important lesson." Our teacher began " The other schools will be missing it this year because of the tournament. Well only the first years. So today we will be fighting boggarts."

I gasped I've read about these, it could be awful for the countries. I looked around some other countries looked just as scared. I saw that Albus boy nudged Alfred to ask him why he looked so scared. I didn't expect Alfred of all people to know.

"Why are you all so scared? Ok yes it creates your biggest fear but you can fight it. Also you need to know how to face your biggest fear in the face and laugh."

Now all of the countries in the room looked scared even Elizabeta and that Girl did now scare easily.

"So who want to go first? All you have to do is imagine your fear comical and say rediculous "

All of the countries as one stepped back.

Albus stepped forward "I will"

The teacher open a draw in a chest of drawers and then suddenly a man with glasses and messy jet black hair lay dead on the floor. Then it switched to a beautiful lady with long red hair crumpled in a heap on the floor of the classroom. It kept on switching until a feeble "rediculous" came from the boy's throat and the corpse sneezed and was alive.

"Next?"

Unfortunately Alfred had been standing right behind Albus so the teacher pushed him up.

The boggart grew shorter, the hair dirty blonde and into Arthur's revolution clothes. Then Alfred burst into tears.

"I'm sorry Iggy, I'm sorry."

The boggart looked up tears in it's fake eyes "Alfred why do you want to leave me? Wasn't I a good brother? I'm sorry for everything I've done wrong. I love you, you're my brother. Why do you do this to me? I change the taxes, give you a representative if it will stop you leaving me please."

Then the boggart formed into Alfred in revolution clothes and the look in his eyes was terrifying. I have never known Alfred to look angry or sad but here he looked miserable and furious. "I'm sorry Arthur but equality, liberty and brotherhood. Also you killed my mother. I must" And he raised the gun he was holding then Alfred jumped in front of the gun and lay on the ground there sobbing.

I felt wind pass me and I saw Arthur had rushed to Alfred's side and was hugging him. The boggart shifted it took many different forms. Jeanne D'Arc being burnt, Antonio in pirate gear lying on his front and his back covered in whip marks, Alfred being taxed and looking at Arthur imploringly, Francis crying "Matthew, Matthew, Arthur why?" It kept on like this and I felt my heart soften seeing all of the awful things Arthur has done. For the people but also Arthur because he regretted it all.

The entire class was in horror at the two nation's Boggarts, the teacher included.

Then the teacher stepped forward the boggart turned into a werewolf. "Ridiculous" He said confidently and the werewolf turned into a puppy which he lifted up and put in the draw.

"You two have scary fears, but like any of those will happen. You two need to learn how to change those into comical things."

Arthur stood up he was shacking with anger. "Some people's fear can't become comical, what's comical about war or whipping or being burnt alive, nothing you are an awful teacher" and with that he grabbed Alfred and left. The teacher looked flabbergasted "What just happened?"

I grabbed Mathias, Emmaline and Matthew and left as well. I heard the teacher shouting after us.

We found Arthur in the courtyard comforting Alfred. "Come on Alfred you're the hero they don't cry" he soothed

"I'm so sorry Arthur, I've hurt you so much. I'm so sorry." Alfred sobbed

"It's ok, Alfred look at me." Alfred looked into Arthur's caring eyes "I forgive you"

I walked toward them and Matthew started crying and ran to hug his brother as well. Mathias pulled me into a hug and because I was feeling sad today I didn't fight him off. For as many faults as all the nations have we are still friends and family and the only ones who we have.
