Bab 74: The Boggart
The next days I thought about what Hermione told me. Why did my eyes change? why was it dark and scary? But I obviously had no answer. The only thing in common between the both situations is that I was pissed off, because I had to get hurt to save Malfoy, and I couldn't counterattack. And because Pansy really pisses me off, she's only after Malfoy, nothing else. I'm pretty sure Malfoy is the only thing she cares in live. And she's trying to be evil just to be closer to him. I'm sure that if Malfoy tried now to be a better person openly, she would do it with him.
Anyway today, Thursday, we had double potions, and DADA. The double potions class with the Slytherin was pretty normal, but the conversations wasn't. I was between the Gryffindors and the Slytherins in the tables. I had to my right Ron and Harry, and to my left, Malfoy and Pansy.
Rainy- (this is going to be a looong potions class.)
During the class, Malfoy didn't doubt on joking a little about Ron, something that made him cut bad his ingredients. Harry on the other hand, also joked with Ron about Malfoy and Pansy, something that made Malfoy crush one of the ingredients. And I was in the middle, watching, and internally laughing. But then Malfoy begun to talk to me, low enough for Ron to need to concentrate on our conversation if he wanted to hear, something I think he didn't.
Malfoy- oy, Rainy. Is Harry trying to get revenge on Black?
Rainy- what? I don't think so, why revenge? Has Black done something to Harry?
Malfoy- so you guys don't know? It was Black the one that sold the Potters to the Dark Lord.
Rainy- what?
Malfoy- it seems that only Sirius Black knew where they were hiding, and the Dark Lord went there just the next day!
Rainy- t-that's... that asshole!
Malfoy- so Harry doesn't know about this?
Rainy- no! But I think Arthur and Molly Weasley does, and they didn't tell us anything! Thanks for the information Draco.
Malfoy- no problem. I just want to see what you do with this information.
Rainy- isn't that clear? I'm going to rip Black's arms and stab him with them!
Malfoy- how do you do that?
Rainy- you just need enough strength.
Malfoy- not that, your eyes, they are yellow again.
Rainy- what? Now?
I took a mirror I had close by and saw that indeed, my eyes were yellow. But soon after that they became blue again.
Rainy- interesting... I think they become yellow when I'm angry...
Malfoy- Pansy is scared of those eyes, so don't get too angry around her okay? Not that I care...
Rainy- (haha) okay, I'll try...
After the class, I went to the Great Hall to eat something with Luna, and after that, I went to the DADA class. We all sat there until Lupin came back telling us to follow him with our wands.
Rainy- (a practical lesson right away? I like this guy)
We followed him to the staffroom, and Snape was on one of the chairs inside. When we all entered, Snape told Lupin that Neville was not a good option to trust on anything. I think he said this because he destroyed another cauldron this morning.
Lupin- I was hoping that Neville would assist me with the first stage of the operation, and I'm sure he will perform it admirably.
Snape went out of the room not pleased at all, and Neville was as red as a tomato. But we all turned then to a wardrobe in the end of the room that had just moved.
Lupin- nothing to worry about. There's a Boggart in there.
Everyone had a shocked face, and I don't blame them... Lupin asked what is a Boggart, and Hermione said, ''It's a shape-shifter, it can take the shape of whatever it thinks will frighten us the most''. That's interesting. But I don't want to fight a giant Howler...
Then Lupin told us that we can fight it with an enchantment called Riddikulus, that makes the Boggart take a funny form that we thought beforehand. Then, when we all knew how to say Riddikulus, he told Neville to follow him.
Lupin- Right, first things first, what would you say is the thing that frightens you the most in the world?
Neville- ----
Lupin- I didn't catch that, Neville, sorry.
Neville- ..... Professor Snape.
Everyone laughed, and even Neville grinned apologetically, I think I heard Lupin say ''he frightens us all''.
Lupin- and I believe that you live with your grandmother?
Neville- yes, but I don't want the Boggart to turn into her either!
Lupin- no, no. You misunderstand me. I want you to think on her clothes, what she's usually wearing. Can you think that?
Neville- y-yes?
Lupin- good! When the Boggart get's out of the wardrobe, it will become Professor Snape. And I want you to use Riddikulus while thinking on Snape wearing your grandmother clothes.
Neville-...
Lupin- now, everyone. If Neville is successful, the Boggart will try to shift his attention to each of us in turn. Now think of how to make what you fear the most, comical.
It was a difficult but not impossible task, so when everyone was ready, Lupin opened the wardrobe and Neville faced a really angry Professor Snape.
Neville- R-riddikulus!
And what happened was just what Lupin said, Snape on granmother clothes. But while the class continued to use Riddikulus. I was not sure if my fear against the scoldings or more so, the Howlers would be the one thing I fear the most...
Lupin- Harry!
Then Voldemort appeared in front of Harry and he used Riddikulus, at first we thought it didn't do anything, but then we saw him trying to use his wand without being able to
Harry- now he's a muggle!
Everyone laughed at the sight of Voldemort being a muggle. And next was Hermione's turn. She got in front of the Boggart, and it changed to a black smoke where we could only see a pair of yellow eyes. Everyone was confused, and Hermione used Riddikulus, making the yellow eyes, blue.
Rainy- (am I that scary when I'm angry?)
Then the Boggart got right in front of me, and it changed to a giant Howler as I thought. It begun to yell, and it was worse than the banshee of Seamus. I yelled Riddikulus, and it made the Howler's voice so low it was a whisper, and it's voice was now a kid's voice.
Lupin- good! Now, Neville do it again.
Neville got in front of the Howler, and it changed to Snape again. Neville used Riddikulus again, and the Boggart exploded. Something that startled us all.
Lupin- nice job! It exploded because it was confused. It changed to all those scary things, and then was forced on a form that made us laugh. That weakens a Boggart, and in extreme... kills it. As you saw. Everyone gets 5 points for taking the Boggart once, Neville gets 10 because he did it twice, and Hermione gets 10 too, because she answered the question correctly. The homework will be to read the chapter about Boggarts and summarize it. Class dismissed.
We all exited and went to the classroom of DADA to get our bags.
Rainy- are my eyes that scary, Hermione?
Hermione- what? Oh! Err... a little... don't take it on the bad way...
Rainy- I'm not, it's weird, but the Boggart didn't transform on me. It just transformed on the eyes...
Hermione- yeah...
Rainy- I guess I'll have to investigate more... I'll ask Master Koro this Christmas.
Harry- what are you talking about?
Hermione- nothing! How did you thought of making You-know-who muggle?
And I turned my hearing off, while I thought of my eyes, and about what Malfoy told me about Sirius Black.
