Chapter 11 (In Your Blood Part 2)

Harry's POV

As we walked to the room, I couldn't help but think who would do such a thing? I noticed we were with the Hufflepuff's in this class.

"Right class, today we will be learning a simple, yet a high level, spell. We are learning how to defeat a boggart, now, what does anyone know about boggarts?"

"They take the form of whatever the person near it is afraid of," I said, surprising most of the class. Remus raised his eyebrows.

"And how do you defeat a boggart?"

"By using the charm Riddikulus," I said, getting quite uncomfortable from the stares. I looked to Draco, "Why is everyone so shocked?" Draco opened his mouth to reply but Remus beat him to it.

"This is third year knowledge, Harry, would you like to be the first to attempt the spell?" He asked, sounding impressed. I nodded as the whole class formed a line, after repeating the charm a few times just to get the gist of it. I got my wand at the ready, I didn't know what to expect.

A black ghost like creature came flowing out of the wardrobe. He looked at me before transforming. I blinked, not believing what I was seeing. Draco was dead. BAM. Another body appeared, Sirius was dead. I was shaking, trying not to cry, as the boggart showed my parents.

"We never loved you Harry," My Father said. Mother laughed. "You're such a disappointment, you think we would be happy for you to be best friends with a Malfoy? You know they sided with Voldemort? You betrayed us-"

I dropped to the floor, crying. My heart broke into a million pieces. I didn't realise Remus jumped in front of the boggart, making it disappear. Breath, Harry. Those weren't my parents, Draco wasn't dead. He was fine. He was fine.

"Could everyone leave and return to your dormitories, you can have the rest of the time to do homework,"

I barely heard him. Sirius wasn't dead. My parents... they would be proud of me? Wouldn't they? And Mum was close to Snape, she was. She wouldn't say any of those things."Draco, help me take Harry to the hospital wing," I heard. I blinked away some tears as Draco helped me up from the floor. He's alive. It was just a boggart, Harry.

"I- I don't need to go," I whispered. I heard a loud sigh,

"Yes, you do! I see you've got James's trait of stubbornness," He said, I took deep breaths, it's fine. You're fine, Harry.

"I thought the boggart only showed one thing someone can be afraid of?" I heard Draco say quietly. Breathe. Count to ten. Calm down.

"If someone hasn't laughed, which is the point of the charm which sends the boggart away, then it can change into multiple fears, so for Harry, it's understandable he didn't want you to be dead, but when he didn't say Riddikulus, the boggart saw weekness and continued," Remus explained. Draco hummed, but didn't say any thing else.

"Poppy, could you give Harry some chocolate? He's tried to fight a nasty boggart but couldn't quite manage it,"

xoxox

"We heard what happened! Are you okay?!" Anthony shouted as we got to the Great Hall for lunch. The Hall was suddenly silent, I sat in opposite Anthony and Terry, Draco sat next to me. I nodded,

"Yeah,"

"Draco, are you okay? I never got a chance to ask when you left the flying lesson," Terry asked. I filled my plate with fish. I hate fish but after this hectic morning, I couldn't care less.

"I'm fine, if it weren't for Harry, I could have died," He said quietly. The two nodded, I dug into my lunch. I wonder how long it will be till the whole school found out what happened?

"We have Charms next," Terry said, changing the conversation. I groaned in annoyance, shocking my friends.

"We thought you liked Charms?" Anthony said, I rolled my eyes.

"Yeah, I do, but not in a day where my best friend- you know what? I'm skipping charms," I said, getting up and walking out of the hall. I couldn't face anyone. I didn't know what to think. I wasn't looking where I was going, I didn't even know which direction I was heading in, so when I turned up at the seventh floor, I had no clue how to get back to the Ravenclaw tower.

As I continued to walk, I thought about Draco. Why couldn't I have just said 'Riddikulus'? It's so easy to do! Why didn't anyone like Ant or Terry show up? Why was it just Draco and Sirius that were dead?! Why?!

I heard a door open and I turned around, frowning. What could possibly be in there? Opening the door, I looked in and wow, the room was amazing. It was about the size of like three football pitches and there were dozens of shelves of books, the windows were arched like the ones in the Ravenclaw common room and there was the same stary night on the ceiling.

I picked up a random book, The Ancient and Nobel Houses. There was another one not too far away, How to Tell if You're in Love, what the actual...? I'm not in love. If anything, it could be just a crush. He probably doesn't even feel anything for me.

The Room of Requirement was the next book I saw. Oh... that's where I am... I've found the Come and Go room! Wicked!

"You did what!?" Sirius asked, I shrugged,

"I took the afternoon off,"

"I know, but what for?!"

"Because I couldn't face anyone after that boggart!" I shouted. I was telling Sirius what happened today and lets just say, he isn't taking it that well. After my conversation with the Head of House, I've got detentions all week. It was worth it, though.

"What was your boggart?"

"Draco was dead, so were you and then my parents were disappointed in me because the person I lo- my best friend's Father was a death eater," I finished, going red after my slip up. I saw he relaxed, but I didn't. I couldn't. What was happening to me?

A/N - Never too early to step up the Drarry... lol! I know the boggarts aren't meant to be taught till third year but lets just pretend it's a first year thing :) I feel like I need a chapter with Draco's pov, but I really wanted this story to focus on Harry's... erghh
