"I've encountered a boggart in an old desk and rather than simply taking care of it myself, I decided to incorporate it into a class--about defense charms, of course."
As if on cue, the desk shook just a bit harder.
"Now, what exactly is a boggart, and why is it best to always have someone with you when you're encountering one?" she asked. Vashti wasn't entirely focused during all the questions and answers thus far in class. She sort of knew what was going on but so far hadn't bothered to take down actual notes. She copied down a word or two but mostly she was staring down at her desktop, her right hand holding the quill and moving it in a constant motion up-and-down, up-and-down, as if she actually were writing, though the tip of the quill didn't touch the parchment.
But then a single word caught her attention and she glanced up, listening. Boggarts? They were dealing with boggarts today? Oh dear...
Vashti decided to answer a question, now that she was listening, though she felt a bit apprehensive about this lesson now. "A boggart is a creature that can change its appearance into what its opponent fears the most," she said after raising her hand. "And it's best to have at least one other person with you when you face one because not only does it tend to confuse the boggart when it doesn't know whose fear it should become, your partner can cast Riddikulus if you are unable to. It also helps to have more people around to laugh, since that also helps defeat a boggart."
