The shutters have been drawn on the windows of the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom, leaving the room in partial darkness. As you enter, your footfalls click against the cold stone floor and echo against the cavernous ceiling. There is a noticeable chill to the room. The sparse lighting is dim; slivers of dreary light from the closed shutters interrupt the darkness and cast undefinable, unnerving shapes against the walls. A few flickering, melting candles hang by ornate wall sconces, their light dancing almost ritually against the wall, as if being lightly blown by an absent wind. The faint, eerie whine of a floorboard creaking peals out from somewhere near the front of the room. (is it just a floorboard? are you sure?) Grotesque photographs hang on the walls of the classroom, depicting images of malformed men and women suffering the effects of cruel, brutal curses. They writhe helplessly in pain, shrieking silently. Two rows of mahogany desks and benches line the walls, leaving a long, wide aisle empty for students and professor alike to walk through.

Several large wardrobes sit at the head of the class, the classroom’s regular dusty chalkboard moved to the side. Soft thumps and bumps echo about the room from no known source, often sounding like they are coming from above you—or right behind you. A chest sits at the top of the stairs to the professor’s office, rattling occasionally.

The professor is not yet apparent in the room. There is a note on the classroom board:

Please come in and take a seat at one of the desks... You may wish to avoid the darker corners, and instead choose to sit in the dead center of the room. After all... You never know what might be lurking in the shadows.

-- Prof. Kazimeriz

ooc: Please go ahead and RP yourself coming into the room; have fun with it, for you might've noticed it is a tad spookier in here than usual. I'll start the class in a little while and it will run for 2-3 days so every time zone can play. Thanks, Xana~

Rachel Rider's parents stepped out of the wardrobe, their expressions grave. Her father dragged her luggage behind him, her mother had Rachel's wand in her hands. She raised it and smirked. "Your uncle has died." She said simply, snapping the wand in two.

Miles stepped out of the other wardrobe, heading for Vanessa Corbette. He glared at her. "You are as bad as my father says. I hate you. I never want to see you again!" he spat at her, loathing in his eyes.

Jenn jumped at the sound of her name, instantly snapping her out of her saddness and bringing her back to reality. "Y-yes sir!"she yelled back. Turning back to the boggart, she whiped away her tears and closed her eyes, not wanting to look at it any longer. Thinking of something funny, she sighed. The only thing that came to mind was a creepy looking clown. Not funny at all. Then she laughed as she pictured a bunch of goblins tap dancing and in ruffle skirts. She chuckled and opened her eyes she yelled out, "Riddikulus!"still picturing the dancing goblins and she actually started laughing.

**Jett Turner** · 03-24-2009, 02:47 AM

The boggart was shocked to find itself transform from Jenn's little brother into a dancing goblin. It high kicked in true Parisan can-can style in a ruffled skirt, then shifted shape to avoid the laughter, turning into Dominic Denton and Kaika Lockhart.

The approached Miranda Belcanto, steely looks on their faces. "Why don't you just crawl under a rock and die? I can't believe we were ever your friends." Lockhart said as Denton nodded in agreement.

XanaSnape · 03-24-2009, 02:51 AM

"Carden, Upstead, Baptista, Blood-- two points each, be seated." Kazimeriz said. "Excellent work. This is not easy, I know." he acknowledged.

hermionefanforever · 03-24-2009, 02:54 AM

Jenn smiled happily. Turning around to sit down she smiled at the professor. "Thank you!"she said, beaming at the prospect of gaining points for her house and that he said she had down excellent work on it too. Sitting down, she watched the rest, interested in what they feared.

**Jett Turner** · 03-24-2009, 02:55 AM

Dan Schyev's friends and even his professors and family slipped out of the wardrobe, walking past him but not paying attention him... as though he were invisible. Useless. Worthless, not even worth their time or attention. They laughed and spoke to one another, but did not look at him once.

The other wardrobe opened, and in a fog of cold mist, a dementor came out... headed right for Abby Wright.

XanaSnape · 03-24-2009, 03:03 AM

"Remember, use humor -- whatever you can dredge up-- to battle the boggart. And keep your wand moves sharp, it does help focus the spell." Kazimeriz coached.

ooc: If you haven't posted an initial 'fear' post yet, please do not do so... This portion of class will come to a close soon as everyone who has posted their fear has finished defeating their boggarts (or failing miserably). If you DID post your boggart and feel you have not been attacked please PM me and I will check the records. If you have been attacked and are currently battling, please continue and have fun!

Sorry, but those who didn't succeed, no re-dos at this time. Love, Kazi-Xana

Plymouth gasped. "MUMMY!!!!" It had been SO LONG since Plymouth had seen his mum! It was the longest stretch of time he'd ever been away from her!

EEEEEEE!!!!

But then she said something so ... so horrifying! So completely and utterly absurd!! It broke lil Plymouth's heart, even if it was the stupid boggart. He didn't want them to leave him. He wanted his momma!!! Plymouth eased towards her, wandering if he could get a hug -- a hug from your mum is a hug from your mum, right??

"Riddikulus? Errm... " Plymouth waved his wand with a little more flourish and tried again, "Riddikulus!!" And then Plymouth thought REAL HARD about having a tickle fight with his mum. He even did his fingers in the tickling motion - "Tickle, tickle..." Cause, surely, his mum wouldn't leave him after being challenged to a tickle fight.

... right? RIGHT???

**Jett Turner** · 03-24-2009, 03:17 AM

Plymouth's mother shrank back in horror at the idea of being ...noo....tickled? THE HORROR!

She raised her hands up, screeching and scurrying backward, away from his tickly tickly oh no so wiggly wriggly fingers. She stumbled backward and fell flat on her seat in a ridiculous (riddikulus?) pratfall, letting a out a loud trumpeting fart as she landed.

The boggart-mother's cheeks flushed in embarrassment and it got up and ran back to the safety of the wardrobe, slamming the door.

XanaSnape · 03-24-2009, 03:19 AM

"Excellent, Morgan, two points. Please be seated... only a few left standing, i see... come on, get those boggarts back in the wardrobe!" Kazimeriz coached.

"Nooo!" Vanessa called, as she Miles Boggart shouted at her. It wasn't true. It couldn't be true. Miles had told her that he'd never hate her. "Miles..Please," She whispered feeling a little scared.
But this was only a Boggart. She didn't need to be scared. It wasn't like it was true. As she stared at the Miles boggart she tried to picture something funny. Something to make the boggat go away. "Riddikulus!" She called out, hoping it was clear, as she pointed her wand at the Boggart. All the time she was picturing the Miles Boggart looking very girly, with pink lipstick on.

"Come here, shweetie... I want to pinch your cheeks and give you a huuug..." she reached her arms out to embrace him.

Daniel's eye widened. He had never expected this to be coming true. His grandmother's sister, Lucinda, in the flesh and about to grab him. Rrrruuuunnnn!!!!

He stepped backwards and then remembered to use fear as a stepping stone. You wouldn't be an Auror if you still fear her he thought.

He pointed his wand towards the direction of the approaching old lady. He then yelled, Riddikulus. He then concentrated the old lady being on a roller skates while dressed like a ballerina.

Once again, the wardrobe rattled and opened... out slid a thick, heavy living cloth-- a lethifold, headed straight for Joanne Martinez!

Following it was a thick, almost unseen rush of dark air... it swooped in and surrounded Evangaline Green. As soon as it had it surrounded her, it gave the illusion that she was perched up on a very, very high tower, at the very pinnacle... the world and class too far below to be seen!

Joanne that had her fingers now almost numb, eyed the lethifold incredulously. She had seen the other students fighting the boggart, she knew it wasn't true, that they should be able to distinct it from real and non-real stuff, but she just realized that it actually looked pretty real for herself too.

Her eyes went wide and all she could think about was to run away, she walked back a few steps, fleeing from the deathly cloth, hitting the person behind her in the line when something started to hurt her hand. My wand.. I have a wand! She could already feel the oxygen being trapped inside of her chest but even though, the bump on the other student reminded her of what they were there to do, she coughed and imagined the Lethifold being nothing more that a pink cloak and coughed the spell "Rid-..RIDDIKULUS" she shouted, wishing it was enough to work.

Boggart-Miles transformed in a whirlwind into Miles with pink lipstick and a hair bow. He ran back into the wardrobe, howling.

The boggart turned bright pink and became a riding cape. It flew around the shoulders of Daniel's boggart to escape.

Lucinda the boggart's attire changed to that of a ballerina, though instead of rollerskates she was wearing ice skates. The thin blades made her ankles wobble and she immediately fell down, causing the shape-shifter to clamber back into the wardrobe on hands and knees.

Freya nodded and took a seat near the side of the room, glad that she could have a little bit of a break and watch some of the other students still battle out their boggart. She twirled her cherry wand around in between her fingers and gazed at it happily; it seemed that it was finally working the way it should have been all along. Freya silently opened her notepad and jotted down a few sentences on today's experiences in the lesson, 'I'll have to work on some things later.' She thought as an odd chill ran through her entire body making her shiver slightly; it was as though she could still feel the water.

"It depends on what your specific concept of death is. It might appear as something as simple as seeing your own tombstone or coffin... Your own dead body... if you believe death feels like a lack of sensation, they may capitalize on that. The less concrete your fear is, the more difficult it is for a shape-shifter to adequately mimic it, though they can access your emotions well enough to tune into what might scare you most. Two points." Kazimeriz told the boy.

Very good. Two points for each of you; be seated. Come, now, Wright, finish that boggart off or I shall send you to your seat!" Kazimeriz said sharply.

Oooooh YEAH! He was the MAN! From his seat perching safely on desk, Clifford poked his tongue out at the potatoes. WOO! He'd shown those ruddy gnomes who was boss. HAH! They were wrong to think they could mess with THE Clifford Carden.

The sixth year had been contemplating snagging one of the potatoes - just to see what it tasted like.. and maybe keep as a souvenier? But.. wouldn't he be eating a boggart?

COOOOOOL!!

He didn't get a chance though, as Kazimeriz was sending them back to their seats. Small pout finding it's way to his lower lip, Clifford hopped off the desk he'd been sitting on - who's ever it was - and hurried to his own.

"What?" Miranda breathed. No ofcourse they were not the real Kaika and Dominic. Right? Miranda felt rooted to the spot, the only thing she had to do was look around and see that Dom and Kaika were actually there in the classroom, with her.
But the fear inside her that this could happen overcame her and she started to feel her eyes water. A single tear fell down her cheek.

Miranda felt a sudden feeling of defiance. Her mother had always said, If people can't see how great you are to have you as a friend, then they are not worth your time. Yeah! Errr...

Taking a deep breath, Miranda raised her wand. "Riddikulus!" she almost bellowed.
She was thinking how funny it would be if Kaika and Dom suddenly started to sing and dance a musical number, with pirrouettes and maybe some hugging! Hehehe.

Kaika understood why Denton and Kayla may have been the chosen ones, but she wasn't as baaaad...just...well, yes, she was quite determined as Captain, but she didn't realize how Jake could be dealing with all the pressure.

She hoped the kid's incantation worked, and at the same time she wanted to see what Jake will do.

Staring at the boggart, Jake's breathing hitched as his breath tightened. Big. Scary. Powerful. Fifth years. NUH-UH! They were just so... he couldn't describe it... their authority... it scared him...

But it didn't matter, because they were gone! Flying around the room as they became balloon people and popped. Bwahahahahaaa... Cool. Jake tried to take a few deeeeep breaths as he took a quick look around the class. Dang! Kaika was watching... Well... she kinda was the scarier one... he didn't like failing at stuff, and... well, you know the score [/pun]. He quickly bit his lip and looked away.

One at a time was fine... but all three... Shudder...

Whipping his head round, Jake continued to try and steady his breathing. No likey pressure. Jake plus pressure equals GOODBYE!

He staggered back to his seat and sat down, placing his head on the desk and breathing deeply.

Heeeeehuuuuuuuuuuuheeeeeeeeeehuuuuuuuuheeeeeeee!!! !!

AAAAAAAAAH!

The boggart picked Clifford to be the guy who Vannie runs off with!? That was so unfair! Miles felt like walking straight up to Clifford and doing something which he would regret later on. But it wasn't Clifford, it was just a boggart. But still, he couldn't help himself from shouting at the boggart in annoyance, with the swarm of his friends giggling their little heads off. "THAT'S NOT FAIR!" He growled, before remembering what Kazimeriz has said.

Laughter. Hmpf.

This was no laughing matter, but his friends seemed to be enjoying it. So, he'd give them something to laugh about, and smirked to himself. Miles was happy to solve both problems, and he wasn't really humiliating Vannie and Clifford, it was just a boggart! YEY!

"RIDDIKULUS!" He grinned. Miles imagined every single one of his friends wearing blind folds, and it'd look like blind man's bluff, 'cept everyone would not be able to see! MWAHA! And they wouldn't be able to look at him either! Not only did he imagine that, but Clifford and Vannie wearing clown clothes, and BIIIG shoes, and fat red noses! And the shoes were so big, Vannie couldn't even walk in them!

Ooh. He was evil, but it was funny to him.

Rachel was still fidgeting with her clothes as the boggart stepped out of the wardrobe, only looking up as she recognized the ever so familiar noise of her mum's low heels. Her eyes widened in fear as she saw her dad right behind her mum, dragging her humongous trunk out of the wardrobe. "N-no!" she whispered as her parents, forgetting all about the lesson and the professor, focused only on the object of her nightmares. "I'm not going, you can't make me! This is my home, with Jake; not YOU! No ever you!" she shouted at them, tears threatening to run down her face.

She gasped and put her left hand up to her mouth in horror as her mum told her that Jake was, in fact, dead; her right hand still clutching her wand unconsciously. "NO! No, it can't be! He promised he wouldn't EVER leave me!" she screamed, the tears from before gushing down her face. Her eyes widened even farther as she spotted the small wooden stick, her wand, in her mother's evil hands. "DON'T!" she yelled in horror as her mother snapped her beloved wand in two. "NOOOOO-" she howled, and stopped abruptly as she felt something warm and solid in her right hand. Looking down at her tightly fisted hand, she frowned as she saw her wand - intact, whole and ready for use.

Slowly, she remembered where she was and that her parents weren't even here - they weren't real; none of this was. Right, right, this is a boggart. How do I defeat a boggart? she thought rationally to herself, shutting her eyes tightly so that she wouldn't have to look at her supposedly broken wand and her mother's smirk any longer. Riddikulus... That's the spell. And I have to make the situation funny. How do I make this funny?
Thinking hard, slowly a smile crept onto her face and she tightened her hold on her wand, loving the feeling of power she got from the small piece of wood. "RIDDIKULUS!" she shouted once more, pointing her wand at her mother's face, her eyes lit with a determined fire. She imagined as right behind her eyes, her 'boggart wand' repaired itself and many more wands appeared, casting spells by themselves and aiming them right next to her mother and father's ears.

The expression on her parents' face was priceless - they both gazed in fear as the spells erupted next to them, her mother screeching as one spell hit them both; turning their skin to a pale blue colour and their hair to bright orange. The image of her parents in her brain cowed before the colourful spells, their purple eyes darting from their hands to the wands flying around them, not even remembering that Rachel was there.

It all happened very fast, but suddenly, Evangeline was no longer in the classroom. Nope, now she was ... oh god .. she didnt know where she was .. but it was HIGH. Really, really high! She couldn't even see the ground!

Feeling her heart beat faster and faster as fear took over her, the Prefect froze on the spot, too scared of moving incase something made her fall. Oh Merlin, she couldn't die .. she was too young! But then .. how could she hear Kazimeriz if she was ... AAAH! The boggart!! Of course! In her fear, she had even forgotten that all of this was happening in the DADA class.

Now ... how to make this funny?

Closing her eyes so that she wouldn't look down, Evangeline raised the hand that was holding her wand and pointed it at the tower. Oh dear. This better work. "Riddikulus!" She said, thinking about jelly. Yummy, bouncy, wibbly jelly.

Chris watched as the boggart to shape into himself. His eyes wided as he saw the blood rushing out of his nose. He twiched slightly at the sight infront of him.

It's not really, it's not really." He kept telling himself.

He then pulled out his wand. "RIDDIKULUS!" he said to the boggart. But still he saw himself infront of him. He gulped slightly.

Laugh stupid laugh. he thought. But couldn't think of anything funny. He then once again said. "RIDDIKULUS!" But this time he had thought of somthing funny. Back two summers ago when Mel dropped those peices of cake on Cale. He started to laugh at this thought and pictured himself laughing instead of his nose bleeding.

PadfootAndTheWolf · 03-24-2009, 08:53 PM

Chris watched as Chris Kaplen encountered his boggart and thaught of what scared him. He remembered the hag that he had encountered in France last summer with his father. It had been terrible. But he was sure he would be able to face one here.
