Airey had been scoping out the competition - so to speak - when he had passed by the Defense Classroom. Medea had warned professors that there may be strange and frightening noises coming from this place given the nature of the assignment so he wasn't all that alarmed when he heard screams of anguish. Quite the contrary really. He was intrigued and decided to peek his head in and see just all that was going on in there...
________________________and then he wished he hadn't.
Or he sort of was glad that he did considering that is WAS his job to protect Hogwarts' students...but he had to admit that this particular one was the last student he ever expected to see like this.
Charging into the room with his wand at the ready, the Astronomy professor saw Miss Gracae trying to assist her friend and placed a hand on her shoulder. "I'll take it from here," he said with a faint smile before he stood between the two students and the boggart. With a loud rawr, he drew its attention away from both students to himself and waited until it began to morph into a single being with dark hair and almost feline features.
"You'll never be ----"
"Riddikulus!" he SANG before the being could finish its sentence. Instantly the boggart turned into a pet rock resembling Pebbles - only wearing a ghastly pink tutu - that began to roll around on the floor making honking noises until it rolled itself right into the box. With another flick of his wand, Airey shut the lid on the box and then ran over to the Slytherin curled up in practically fetal position.
"Mr. Odessa? Mr. Odessa?" he said while placing a hand on the boy's shoulder and giving it a small shake.
Sweet solstice why didn't he always carry chocolate on his person?
