"I think that each of us has someone or something we care for, and I also think the boggart would seek that out and transform into...some part of it."

====================

"Today, we'll all get a turn to face the boggart and see it transform into that which we fear the most. Before we do that, though, everyone will need to get the incantation and wand movement down pat. Unfortunately, there's no 'fake boggart' to practice on. You'll see if your casting is successful when you finally face the creature," she explained, looking out at the class.

With her wand, she guided a piece of chalk to write the following on the board:

"On the board are the instructions for defending yourself against a boggart. There is no boggart now, so you'll just be practicing and pretending. However, I'll stop you in just a bit, and the real boggart will be released," she said, emphasizing the word real. "Go ahead and practice the steps now."

OOC: Just to make sure it's clear, Lexi did not release the real boggart. She'll get to that in a bit, though! It's practice time now!

Alice copied down what appeared on the board into her notebook before taking her wand out of her holster.

SPOILER!!: Alice's Parchment

Alice tried to think of something that she found comical. She thought of her miniature doxen at home, who could be rather comical when he wanted too, but she thought perhaps something simpler would be better. Hmmm.

A rubber duck. Yes, a rubber duck would be simple enough and should work. Alice closed her eyes for a moment, getting a clear picture of a rubber duck in her mind, smiling at the thought of it, before saying, "Riddikulus."

SPOILER!!: Alice's Parchment - The incantation is Riddikulus, and the wand movement is a simple point of the wand in the direction of the boggart. - The spell alone will not work. You must have a strong mind and good concentration. - Concentrate with all your might on something that will cause you laughter. Alice tried to think of something that she found comical.
