'I got an outstanding.' You smiled when you got your DADA test.

Hou weer always very happy with your grades. You were in Ravenclaw and always tried your best to understand everything. Your curiosity sometimes even helped to know more then you were supposed to.

'Great Y/N! I got exceeds expectations.' Your friend smiled.

'That's amazing! We both passed.'

You glanced at Draco Malfoy. He was such an idiot. He was always competing with you for who had the best grades. He was a Quidditch captain like you so you were basically rivals.

Even though he was a git, you still liked him for some unknown reason. You hated him at the start but it changed. You enjoyed your fights. You wanted to tell him but you didn't tell you. You were afraid that He didn't like you. If he'd ever ignore you, you wouldn't know what to do.

'What are you looking at?' Draco sneered.

Even though he sneered at you he was happy that you were looking at him. He thought your feisty attitude was amazing. He didn't dare to tell you of course. Draco Malfoy liking a Ravenclaw? It would be a scandal.

'What did you get?' You asked.

'An outstanding.' He smirked.

'Me too. I guess we tied this time.'

'Draco Malfoy never ties, he only wins. How many did you get correct?' He asked.

You looked at your paper. There were 15 questions and you had 14 correct.

'14.' You smirked.

'Damn.' He sighed.

'Better luck next time.' You laughed.

'Alright, listen up everyone.'

You looked at Lupin.

'Lets get to the front of the class.'

Everyone got up and walked towards him. There was a big closet at the front. It was locked and there was something inside. Something that wanted to get out.

'That's for you to guess what's inside.' Lupin said.

'That's a boggart.' You heard someone say.

You looked at your friend. She shrugged. You read about boggarts. They're shapeshifters that change into the biggest fear of the person in front of them.

'Very good.' Lupin spoke.

The closet moved a bit and everyone stepped back. You still stood there. It intrigued you.

'Now, can anyone tell me what a Boggart looks like?' Lupin asked.

'No one knows.' Hermione said

'They are called shapeshifters. They take the shape of whatever a particular person fears the most. That's what makes the so-' You said after Hermione.

'So terrifying yes.' Lupin interrupted. 'Luckily, a very simple charm exists to repel a Boggart. Let's practice it now. Without wands please... After me... riddikulus.' He spoke.

'Riddikulus.' Everyone except Draco and his friends repeated.

If he wanted to beat you he had to try harder then that.

'Very good. Little louder.'

The Boggart made the closet move a bit and the students stepped back a bit.

'Very clearly, listen... riddikulus.'

You repeated it. You could do this. You didn't know many fears. Your life was pretty normal. You were excited to see what it would be.

'This class is ridiculous.' You heard Draco say.

You looked at him and grinned a little.

'Very good... well so much for the easy part. See the incantation alone is not enough. What really finishes a Boggart is laughter. You need to force it to sue the shape you find truly amusing. Let me explain.. erm... Neville, could you join me please.'

You looked at Neville and he looked at you. You passed him a small smile and nodded.

'Come on, don't be shy, come on.' Lupin said impatiently.

He stepped forward and looked at Lupin.

'What frightens you the most?' He asked.

He mumbled something that no one could hear. You were wondering what it was.

'Sorry?' Lupin asked.

'Professor Snape.' He stated.

Neville told you before that he thought Snape was scary. He never explained why.

'And I believe you live with your grandmother?' Lupin asked.

'Y-Yes, but I don't want that Boggart to turn into her either.'

Draco and his friends laughed. Lupin sighed irritated while looking at you and Draco who immediately stopped.

'It won't, I want you to picture her clothes, only her clothes, very clearly in your mind.'

Neville was quiet for a moment. He was thinking.

'She carries a red handbag-'

'We don't need to hear, as long as you see it, we'll see it. When I open that wardrobe, here is what I want you to do..'

He walked towards Neville and whispered something in his ear. A small smile appeared on Neville his face.

'Can you do that?' He asked. 

Neville nodded nervously while Lupin walked towards the closet.

'Wand at the ready.. 1...2...3.'

The wardrobe opened and the Boggart walked out. He really looked like him! Neville stared at it.

'Think Neville... think.' Lupin spoke.

'riddikulus!' Neville screamed and Snape suddenly wore Neville grandmothers clothes. Everyone started laughing.

'Wonderful Neville wonderful!' Lupin laughed. 'Okay, to the back Neville, everyone form a line.'

Everyone formed a line. Many things passed. Snakes, spiders, you name it.

Then it was your turn. The boggart turned to you. It started to transform you held your want tightly. It changed into... Draco? He looked at you, absolutely no emotion in his face.. and if there was a bit of emotions visible it was hatred. Was this your biggest fear? You felt embarrassed. Everyone could see that you were afraid off Draco.

'Ridikkulus!' You said.

Draco was suddenly wearing a pink dress. You couldn't laugh while the rest did. You felt embarrassed and quickly walked away. You couldn't even look at Draco. You walked to the back of the line and watched Draco. He stepped up. What would it be? His father?

What he had surprised you. You saw yourself. It was the exact same as you had but with you.. He quickly used the spell and walked away. Draco stopped when he saw you. You walked away, out of the classroom. Draco followed you.

'You're afraid of me?' He asked.

You stopped and turned around.

'No. It's not you. It what you did as my boggart.' You sighed. 'You're afraid of me?' You asked.

'No. It's the same you have.'

It was quiet for a moment. You two just looked at each other.

'Explain it to me.' You then said.

Draco sighed. Maybe he should.

'It's the fact that you looked at me with no emotion. Like you don't even think anything about me. You make these days at Hogwarts fun.. You're an amazing person and I-'

'You like me and you're afraid that I won't like you because you're a Malfoy and a Slytherin.'

'How do you know that?'

'Because my boggart was the same. I like you too but I couldn't tell you because I didn't think you'd like me. I'm a bragging Ravenclaw.'

'No you're not. You're great.' He smiled.

'So are you.'

Draco smiled. It was beautiful to see and it made you smile too.

'Do you want to do something together some time?' He asked.

'I'd love to.' You smiled.
