Ridiculous
"and there he is," I said, laying eyes on Draco as soon as we entered the great hall.
"does it hurt terribly, Draco?" Pansy said after basically falling at his feet.
"it comes and it goes still. I consider myself lucky if it weren't for madam Pomfrey, another minute or two, and I could have uhh, lost my arm." he ranted.
"stupid," I said, hitting Draco on his head again.
"oww, Milly," he shouted.
"he's been sighted, he's been sighted," a Gryffindor boy went running to the Gryffindor table.
"Who"
"Sirius Black"
"Cousin Sirius" Mattheo muttered.
"that thing isn't our cousin Mattheo," Draco said, rolling his eyes. "not anymore."
............time skip brought to you by Pansy's simping...............
"This class is gonna be so boring can't we skip," Mattheo said clinging to me
" You have your little bag of 'candy'?" I asked.
"of course princess," he said pulling out a little royal blue bag
"you are not skipping. Uncle Snape would kill us. He'd kill me. I'm supposed to be watching you two." Draco said snatching the bag out of Theo's hand.
"come on," Draco said, dragging us to the defense against the dark arts classroom.
As we entered the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom, Professor Lupin was already at the front, preparing for the lesson. He glanced up and gave us a warm, if somewhat weary, smile.
"Good morning, everyone. Please stand at the front," he instructed.
We stood in the back, with Draco between Mattheo and me. Pansy was next to Mattheo, looking curious. there was an old wardrobe at the front of the class shaking violently.
Lupin began the class by saying, "Does anyone like to take a guess as to what is inside?"
Mattheo leaned over and muttered, "Boggarts? This is going to be a laugh."
Draco, with a smug look on his face, sneered, "Yeah, let's see what these idiots are afraid of."
"would you like to go first, Dray?" I asked tilting my head.
Pansy smirked, nudging Mattheo. "Bet it'll be something pathetic," she said, but her tone was more teasing than mean.
Lupin raised an eyebrow but continued, "Mr. Riddle, would you care to explain what a Boggart is?"
Mattheo straightened up, his face a mix of surprise and annoyance. "Uh, it's a shape-shifter that takes the form of your worst fear."
"Correct," Lupin replied, nodding. "Ten points to Slytherin."
Mattheo smirked and leaned back slightly, clearly pleased with himself.
Lupin continued, "The spell to repel a Boggart is quite simple. Everyone repeat after me Riddikulus."
"This class is ridiculous," Draco said
"ha, I told you."we should have skipped.
"Yeah, dray we could have been having so much fun right now,"
"Yeah, I'm with them, Draco." Pansy chimed in
"oh , shut it, we're already here." Draco said annoyed
"ok everyone line up!" the professor said.
We formed a line, waiting our turn. My heart pounded knowing what form my Boggart would take. I couldn't let anyone see this. I can't let them know.
One by one, students stepped up, faced their fears, and cast Riddikulus. There were a lot of nervous laughs and a few screams, one kid's fear was my dad. Dad will laugh about that.
Then it was Harry's turn. He stepped forward, looking very nervous. The Boggart shifted into a dementor, its hooded form gliding toward him. The room felt instantly colder. Harry hesitated, his wand shaking slightly. he hesitated, Lupin quickly stepped in front of the Boggart. It shifted into a full moon before he could cast "Riddikulus," turning it into a deflated balloon.
"Alright, that's enough for today," Lupin said, his voice steady but firm. "Excellent work, everyone. Class dismissed."
Draco was upset. "Stupid potter, the whole world had to stop just for him," he said. "I can't stand him, always getting his way. always saving the day, stupid potter."
"My, my, Dray, if I did know any better, I'd say you had a crush," I smirked, "Did you really want everyone in that class to know your secret."
"let's go to the great hall like everyone else," Pansy said.
Mattheo grinned mischievously and nodded. "ok, after you, princess."
As we left the classroom, I felt relief wash over me they would never know. We made our way to the Great Hall, the chatter of students growing louder as we approached. As we sat down, the Gryffindor table was buzzing with excitement and fear over the latest Sirius Black sighting.
I caught a glimpse of Harry, Ron, and Hermione, deep in conversation. For a moment, our eyes met, and I couldn't help but feel a strange sense of connection. had I met him somewhere before?
Draco interrupted my thoughts with a nudge. "Dora, are you okay?" he asked.
I nodded, shaking off the strange feeling. "Yeah, just thinking."
"Oh, okay, well, I'm just asking what you were gonna wear on the trip to Hogsmeade. I wanted to match outfits." Pansy said.
.......
"she looks just like-" Harry muttered to himself
"What did you say, Harry?" Hermione asking.
"oh nothing," he answered
"Okay," Ron said
"do you guys think that Snape girl looks familiar?" Harry asked.
"no, not really," Hermione said.
"never seen her," Ron answered.
