The branch then budded little green buds with yellow centers which bursts into bloom.

Daffodils. Happy. Honking. Daffodills. One flexed its center and let out a screeching high F. It was followed by the rest in a very failed attempt to sing in unison.

"Inhibitions simply melt away
Dispositions will improve they say
Maybe it's the voodoo latitude
Gives the place...Attitude".
They sang in horridly shrill, and mistimed voices to drive Tobi deaf.

Tobi's eyes widened. His ears were probably bleedding too. That was new. usually when boggarts popped out of places at home, they liked to be GIANT daffodils. Tobi shuddered. No! Focus!

Give them Hayfever. Make them allergic to each other. They're allergic and they're all stuffed up. They can't sing or honk. They can only sneeze themselves silly.

He took a deep breath, and made the sharp sweeping motion. "Riddikulus!" he said with the same conviction as before.

Sneeze! you honking little freaks! MUAHAHAH!

The creature, pleased with this reaction, worked the fireball in its' hand and shot it out. The sound of a young man screaming came from the fire ball as it took the form of the girls beloved brother and a continuous whirled funnel of fire continued to shoot at the young man piercing him in the chest, where his heart chamber might be. The boggart then channeled the funnel of fire upwards and began to lift the young man, and creating agonizing screams from 'him'.

Abby walks to the front of the line. She stands in front of the wardrobe and thinks of the thing she fears the most.


OOC: Abby fears dementors.

Distracted that he had gotten the right answer with Boggarts feeding on fear, Dom fell into another reverie again. One that he vaguely paid interest to his peers and their greatest fears. Though he probably should have paid more attention to Winters fear - perhaps he could have used that later - but alas, he did not. Now, to think of his own true fear . . .

Inching slightly into the half-circle, Dom gripped his wand tightly, drawn at his side. He was going to master his fear - he had to. But the difficult part was thinking about how he could possibly make his fear humorous when he was confronted with it face-to-face. Now alert and oriented, he could easily see the boggarts truly represented the fears of his peers. Something he dreaded. True and real was just . . . ugh. Now all he had to do was wait though and hope he could handle it.


ooc: Dom's true fear would be loads of fan GIRLS smothering him with kisses and all kinds of other yucky romance stuff xD

Emiliano made a firm nod. He was ready...yes. To say, NO I won't leave!!

"Riddikulus!" He enchanted the spell, remembering what his mother said she never liked about Mexico, Emiliano's grandmother from his father side, mocking every word Maria said and of course that she hated so much. It was humurous for him because no matter how much he tried to make both go into peace with each other, one simple thing could change Emiliano's plans for the two women.

This new image only royally ticked Karma off - nothing would EVER hurt her brother. No way. Even if he was old enough to defend himself, that was jus crossing the line.

Hmm. Fire. Water. If the beak fell off too, it would make it seem less fearful...

"Riddikulus!" she shouted, and flicked her wand.

The many, many daffodils stretched themselves and drew closer to Tobi's face, as their singing grew louder and louder. One bold little blossom got in his face and began to sing;

"Way down here we have no rules to keep
Way down here we always overs....ha, ha...ACHinch!"

Alas, the verse was interupted by a sneeze, which spread from the bold one to the others. Soon, the flowers, in as much of a discordinated order as they were singing, began to utter little 'achooz' and sneeze uncontrollably. And though the boggart continued in an attempt to sing at first, its voice became too stuffy and soon it was overtaken by way too many sneezes to even really take a breath enough to sing.
One by one, the blossoms retreated and the large wood-like vine from which they sprouted coiled and the boggart took refuge inside the safe dark space of the wardrobe until another, more easy-to-catch victim came along.

The spell which Karma flung from her wand hit the creature, and caused it to drop the image of her 'brother' and shrink back. The boggart flung around so that it's back would not be towards its aggressor, and as it did so, the beak from its head crumpled and collapsed, much to the creatures chagrin. Utterly afraid for its' life now, the boggart began to feel frantically for its' missing beak.

"Well done, Avalon- two points, be seated! Atkins, humor, not anger, is what the boggart cannot cope with! Hit it with the spell and humor, it is a simple concept!" Kazimeriz said.

ooc: Team Boggart RPers (and Kazimeriz) are now free to continue so class is back in session. I hope you're all having fun! Love, Xana

Celandine brightened when she saw Will and Nico and almost jumped forward for a group hug (which neither of the two would-be seventh years would appreciate experiencing with the other, though that wouldn't stop her). Common sense told her two things, not necessarily in the best order; one she'd shock them if she touched them, and two, it was the BOGGART. But even so, it was so good to see them. Nicholai with that annoyingly self satisfied smirk, and Will with that awkward but genuine grin.

And then it was there and it was on them and Cela's heart was in her mouth and her mouth was working and no words were coming and...

They would be so disappointed in her if she didn't do something!

Celandine swallowed and gripped her wand tightly before licking her lips and willing herself to think. They were being consumed! She sobbed and closed her eyes tightly before firmly pushing past it all and moving her wand as she spoke, "Riddikulus!" The image that formed in her head was one of the lethifold becoming a red cape, Nico being the bullfighter and Will charging at him because Will was soooooo brave and the only person she knew who could compete (in her mind) with the awesomeness that was her brother.

Tobi grinned foolishly. He'd done well! Whooda thunk? The trotted back to his seat, tail high and wagging.

He settled in to watch his friends handle their boggarts.

Freya watched and waited as things began to quiet for a brief moment. But the second she heard what sounded like water, the short hairs on her arms and on the back of her neck stood up from a chill, and she got goosebumps.

There was a bang and Freya raised her wand towards this mist that rose up over her head. 'Rain?' She thought for a second, wondering if this would be the worst to happen. 'That's it? Rain?' No sooner had she finished her hopeful thought, the mist seemed to open up and water began to pour over her. At first it wasn't bad at all, like a heavy shower...but it got worse. The amount of water became so bad that Freya couldn't see anything outside of the sheet of freezing liquid. Her body had started to go numb from shock and she couldn't take a breath without taking in a mouthfull of water. It was like standing beneath a waterfall, the pressure was intense and it felt like a thousand knives being forced through the girl's back.

'Keep calm...keep calm...' No matter how many times she told herself that, her panic seemed to mount. 'I can't breathe...I can't-bubblehead charm!' She had to force her wand up to her head, the power of the water continued to force it down, but she finally managed to bring her weapon high enough to cast a successful bubblehead charm.
Freya took a few deep breaths, enjoying the sensation of air rushing to her lungs; she had become momentarily lightheaded. 'Now for the rest of this thing...how do I make it funny?' Her thoughts had become more stable now, seeing that oxygen had been able to make it's way to her brain.

'I think I've got it. Maybe confetti...' She thought of the best think she could and directed her wand upwards...towards that 'thing'. The water continued to pour down on her as thought it would never end....The feeling was overwhelming even to her strong frame now."Riddikulus!" Freya commanded through her bubblehead charm, her voice a slight bit wavy from the effects.

EEE!! This was so SCARY! But.. strangely exciting too. Wand gripped tight in his hand, Clifford waited nervously in the queue, eyes closed as he thought of his greatest ear and waited his turn against the boggart. He'd show them who was the BOSS! GRRR!

OOC: Clifford's greatest fear = an army of gnomes.

The boggart-mother drew back, turning and listening to an invisible person, growing angry and stomping her foot. Thwarted, the boggart shape-shifted again... turning into a group of angry,thuggish rugby players who turned and moved toward Jaimine Steelye.

Ana was watching her classmates and her turn was getting closer.
She doesn't fear too much things but there's two really bad... dentists and that her friends and family abandon her or something happens to them... yeah that would be scary. Dentists, they are like medieval torture and the other well it's scary to everyone. While she waited she kept saying the spell in her head.

ooc: Ana's worst fear is that her friends and family abandon her or something happens to them

Sakura was getting anxious seeing some older students having trouble getting rid of the Boggarts. Hopefully when it was her turn she would have better luck. Although since her greatest fear was more memories than anything irrational that may not happen.

Herminny was anxious to see how she would react to being confronted with her worst fear, she was not exactly sure if she was ready, but she stepped up anyway.

OOC:Herminny's greatest fear is seeing her mother die right before her eyes, for Herminny her mother is her foundation, she would be lost without her.

The boggart turned to the Slytherin student and it took the shape of the girl's mother. She looked at the girl and smiled sweetly, but her eyes went red and she drew her wand casting a death curse towards her own daughter!

Sakura quickly dashed out of the way of the curse while staring at the Boggart that looked so much like her mother it wasn't funny. Sakura continued to back away from the creature, desperately trying to think of a way to make this situation amusing. Only there was nothing amusing about a mother throwing the Unforgivables at her daughter. Clutching her wand tightly Sakura was going through all her memories, trying to think of a time when her mother had looked ridiculous.

Cedric walk in the center and do the instructions given by Professor Kazimeriz

Ooc:his greatest fear is trolls and giants

Qaz awaited her turn. She had overcome many of her fears during her time spent on the Navajo Reservation...snakes, spiders, heights...none of them bothered her that much now. She was rather curious to see what her real fear was...


ooc: Qaz is afraid of being burned alive.

Jai breathed hard watching them advance towards her. Her lip quivvered and she bit it to stop the shaking, her hands shook and her wand shook with it.

"Rid-riddik-." she glared, and clenched her fists, in her mind the boys morphed into skinny un-assuming nerds in pink frilly dresses, all their masculinity stripped from them. "Riddikulus!" She said fiercly pointing her wand at it.

Karma looked over at Kazimeriz when he began to speak again, and nodded once. Something funny. Something interesting.

Perfect. If it tripped over itself, and then realized it wasn't wearing clothes...

"Riddikulus!" she yelled, smiling.

The mother moved closer to Sakura and this time sent a cruciatus curse her way.

The boggart turned into a horde of mountain trolls all carrying clubs and ready to strike Cedric.

The boggart changed into bullfighting Nico and Will, who was charging at the red cape with his index fingers held above his head like a pair of horns. The boggart, disgusted by these antics, quickly shifted shape and attacked Rian Potter instead, turning into a healer who was carrying a clipboard and shaking his head. "I'm sorry... there was nothing we could do for her."

The boys gasped as their bodies became gangly and scrawny and pink-clad. they looked at one another and screamed, running back into the wardrobe!

The wardrobe rattled and shook, then a shape came back out of it. It was Cale Newell, but like none of them had ever seen him. His rotting, festering corpse stalked toward Anna, his arms outstretched. One of his hands fell off as he reached for her. "Annnnnaaaaa... My looove....' he said in a flat, dead voice. "Marry me, Anna. Come here... let me kiss you..."
