[font=book antique]Your biggest fear... What is it exactly? You don't know yourself. You'll find out today. Thanks to a Boggart. There's one in the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom so... You're gonna take advantage of it! You slowly enter the classroom. Talbes, chairs, a desk, bookcases... But all you see is the cupboard. The cupboard that contains your greatest fear. You want to know what it is. But at the same time... You don't want to open that cupboard. With slightly shaky hands, you take out your textbook and your wand. You open the book to the Boggart's page. You won't study them until your third year, but you know the basics. Riddikulus. And with that, you have to turn your greatest fear into something laughable. But what is your greatest fear? It probably has something to do with books, your family and Blueberry. Your magic wand too. What makes you laugh? Blueberry asking for hugs. Your little cousin Lara. When you got blue paint in your hair in fourth grade... That's it. You think you're ready to open that cabinet. Slowly, wand in hand, Lara's red hair stained blue on your head, you open the cabinet to release the Boggart. He turns into several folds of books, your parents, Lara and Blueberry. Suddenly, the books burst into flames, you jump and tell your loved ones to leave. The fire surrounds them and they don't hear you. Not existing in the eyes of your loved ones... One of your worst nightmares. You take three deep breaths. - It's okay, it's a Boggart. They're not really there. The books must be out and Lara must have blue glitter paint in her hair. ri-di-KULL-lis! You opened your eyes again and made a wide-rimmed, flat-bottomed bowl with your wand. A loud cracking sound. The fire goes out, the books are as good as new, Blueberry is in your mother's arms and a bucket of blue paint spills over Lara's head. You burst out laughing. Because it's funny, and because you've mastered your fear, as well as learning a new spell. That's great. You pick up your things as the Boggart disappears before going out to see Blueberry. You need to give her a big hug after that. You were scared to death but you overcame your fear. So what you're most afraid of is your family and your books being in danger. And disappearing in their eyes. It's a perfectly understandable fear.[/font]
