Laura had put this off for long enough, she had been putting it off ever since she had gotten the homework, she didn’t want to do it surely someone else could do it for her, but she knew that she wouldn’t get any credit if she didn’t do it herself or copied someone else’s work, she still wasn’t convinced that she should do this because she was really frighten about what would happen.

Laura took a deep breath trying to tell herself everything would be okay but she was panicking now, what if she couldn’t stop it, what if the Boggart was too strong for her and made it so she couldn’t do anything to get rid of it, what if it found her most deepest and darkest secret one that she hadn’t told anyone before, no she didn’t want anyone to find out about that, the Professor was normally nice to them why was she making them face a Boggart when she wasn’t ready to face one surely the Professor could have thought of something else.
Laura looked at the box and could see that the Boggart wanted to come out, it was now or never, she knew she would have to do it and she knew that she would have to do it now, she slowly opened the box and waited, this was going to be torture she just hoped that she could get things right, she didn’t want anyone to know about this because she knew it would be torture.

Laura didn’t have long to wait to see what the Boggart would change into as soon as it fell on her it turned into her father, well sort of her father, he looked like her father but well he wasn’t looking happy and he was sort of looking through her like she wasn’t there, like she had betrayed the family name and been sorted into Hufflepuff instead of Ravenclaw.

“You’re a disappointment to me.” He snapped at her. “Your useless, Your nothing more that a common person, your nothing like our family, we are proud and we achieve things, your sister got perfect in her exams.” He snapped at her and Laura felt the tears coming down her face, she was trying to stop them and say something back, “I tr..” Laura couldn’t speak through the tears.

“Your useless, You’re a nobody.” He snapped at her, as he took out her exam results,

Laura was shaking her head now, no it wasn’t possible, she hadn’t done them yet, surely she had time to change, surely she could make things better without him doing this, she was crying really bad now, it just wasn’t possible was it?

“YOU FAILED EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOUR EXAMS!!!!!!” He snapped at her.

Laura was shaking really bad now, this just wasn’t happening, she knew that but she felt week like she couldn’t do anything to stop the man in front of her snapping at her

“YOU ARE NO LONGER MY DAUGHTER” He growled at her. “From this day forward I have just one!” He just stared straight through her.

Laura was really really getting upset she knew she needed to do something about this and fast otherwise she wouldn’t be able to do anything at all, the Boggart was making her really upset.

“Riddik.” Laura was crying too much to even say the spell, she took a deep breath before trying again. “Riddikulus!” Laura almost screamed the spell out she wanted the thing gone it had upset her like crazy and she gave a small smile when the spell worked.

Laura looked at the new person in front of her it was her mother smiling at her and doing a silly little dance, she couldn’t help but give a small smile as she watch the weird dancing but she still was upset, she wanted to go and get some ice-cream or better still go and give someone a big hug to bad DJ wasn’t there, maybe she could find someone else, whatever she did decide on, she knew that she would never ever ever ever want to face a Boggart again they were just too mean, she some how managed to get the boggart back to the trunk and shut it, she hoped the next person would have a better time than her with the stupid thing.
