Mylen's Perspective

It was the beginning of my third year in Hogwarts, and this year we had a new teacher for Defence Against The Dark Arts. As I was heading towards the DADA classroom I spot two of the Trio heading that way too.

"Hey Harry, and Ron." I greeted the two.

"Hey Mylen looks like your heading to DADA too", guessed Ron.

We had arrived at the DADA classroom to be met with the new professor, from what I remember his name is Professor Lupin.

"Hello class, if you don't remember my name it is Professor Lupin and I'm your new DADA teacher. Today we will be learning about this." He pointed to a closed closet.

"Can anyone name what might be inside?" Professor Lupin asked the class, Hermoine immediately raised her hand (which I remind you she wasn't there before).

"Where did she come from?" Asked Ron, to Harry and me, but we both shrugged to that not knowing the answer. Professor Lupin chose Hermoine to answer.

"It's a Boggart, no one knows what it looks like, but I heard that it takes shape of what you fear most," Hermoine answered with a bit of uncertainty.

"Now in today's lesson, each one of you will face a Boggart." Everyone in the class immediately broke out into muttering.

"To defeat a Boggart you must say this spell, Riddikulus. Now repeat after me, Riddikulus", Professor Lupin told us.

"Riddikulus!" The class repeated, and I can hear the faintest mutter of Draco Malfoy in the back if you were observant.

"This class is ridiculous" Draco muttered with utter annoyance.

"You, right there boy what's your name?" Asked Lupin, pointing towards Neville.

"My name's Neville." He answered, his eyes trying his hardest to avoid the gaze of Professor Lupin.

"Come here, Neville." Professor Lupin replied politely with a light hand gesture towards the front of the class. Neville obeyed and made his way to the front of the class.

"Now, Neville what are you afraid of?" Asked professor, Neville whispered something inaudible to the rest of the class.

"What was that?" Asked professor, it appeared to be inaudible for him too. Neville repeated that was now audible for the rest of the class.

"Professor Snape!" Neville shouted a bit, obviously scared.

"Okay Neville calm down, now I want you to imagine Snape in something funny." Explained Professor to Neville.

"Okay umm, he's in a dress and carrying a red handbag..." Neville started to babble on.

"Neville you don't have to say it out loud, now the boggart will come out, and when it does I want you to say 'Riddikulus, just as we practiced ok?" Asked Professor after explaining.

The boggart came flying out and went straight to Neville but before it reached Neville he yelled.

"Riddikulus!"And just like that the boggart that was once professor Snape had shape-shifted to him in a dress carrying a red handbag and coincidentally I was next in line.

"Your Mylen right?" Professor asked unsurely, I gave him a nod of approval. Just like that, the boggart came flying at me making the room a darker color, and voices started to scream and whisper in my ears unkind things.

"Come on Mylen say it!" Urged on Professor.

"Riddikulus!" I have finally managed to spurt out feeling the familiar feeling of magic pulsing through my veins and hitting the source of the fear and in an instant, the boggart shriveled up and got turned into laughter and sunshine with voices. But this time the voices said kind things making me feel happy and this was another reason any I love attending Hogwarts.
