Professor Styx was relieved that exams would be coming around. Once all the students had arrived, his onyx eyes glanced up from behind his desk, and he put the book he was reading down on the desk next to him, and picked up a quill to get some of the remaining assignments graded. Unlike the previous years, he had something else planned. He summoned a cupboard to the front of the class before ordering them to line up. "Inside this is a boggart. You will need to master that spell. Remember my instructions. And begin." Professor Styx opened it to set the beast free for the first student. After everyone got the hang of the spell, for the most part, he dismissed them and went to dispose of the boggart. At least it won't create more havoc in the school than necessary. And once the bell rang, the students were free to be dismissed.

Assignment: Roleplay the lesson and make up any work you missed in the make-up topic.

Beata was excited for this class today. She looked forward to all the classes that her Head of HOuse taught because she was a great teacher. He was not a nice teacher, but he did his job and left. Bee saw that there was a bookcase in the room, and she wondered what they were going to be using that for. She was going to sit down, but she was quickly instructed to line up. She was the first person in line. Boggart?! What?! No. She was definitely not ready for this lesson. "Wait, Professor Styx-" she was quickly cut off because of the opening of the closet doors. She quickly patted herself down to find her wand, which she was told was a very good one. There was a green monster in front of her, and she felt like she was going to pee her pants from the embarrassment and fear. She pulled out her want and quickly yelled, "Riddikulus!" and the huge green monster turned into a kitten with a party hat on, which made her giggle. Beata quickly ran back to her seat because there was no way she was doing that again.

This was the last lesson of defense against the dark arts and Elly hoped it would be a study lesson. She could really use the time to study up and look at her notes. Elly had brought all of her stuff to the class and walked in. She seated next to Geo and smiled at her. Last time she had pulled a prank on Elly and Elly didn't want to let it happen again. She was prepared this time.

Elly was curious about what this lesson was going to be about and waited for the Professor to start the lesson. The Professor summoned a cupboard and Elly immediately knew what this was about. It frightened her and Elly hoped she could do this. She had no clue what her boggart could be, but maybe it revealed something she didn't want to show to the whole class.

When it was Elly her turn she exhaled deeply and stepped in front of the cupboard. To her surprise her mom stepped out, it was odd since she loved her. Her mouth opened and she said that Elly wasn't wanted and that she didn't have time for an annoying child. It hurt Elly it was a painful memory of something that had happened. When her parents divorced her mother had said some mean things to her dad. Elly had overheard there conversation and the relationship with her mother wasn't a good as it could have been. Elly had to fight her tears and pointed her wand at the creature. She was scared, but she could do this. Her friends were here with her. "Riddikulus!" Her mom changed into a cute Labrador puppy it was overly cute and it made her awe. It had worked and Elly was very proud of herself.

Elly looked at Geo and gave her a smile, they could do this. When the class was done Elly left the classroom and hoped that she would never have to see a boggart in her life anymore.

[justify]Geo hadn't been looking forward to this particular lesson at all, although she knew it was going to happen eventually. She grinned to her friend, trying to mask any nerves she had to find out what her Boggart was going to. There were a number of things in the Orphans history that could reveal themselves to her and her classmates during this lesson, and she was doing her best not to think about it too hard until the time came. Watching as Elly went first, she cupped her hands over her mouth as she watched her mum tell her she didn't want her, and once the Ravenclaw was finished Geo wrapped her arms around her best friends shoulders. Of course it wasn't true, but it would hurt anyone to hear that from a parent.

Eventually Geo's own turn came round, and she stepped up to the front of the cupboard, glancing across to Professor Styx as though his presence was going to make this any easier given her feelings for him. Turning her attention to the door she nodded, and waited to see what stepped out. Geo had never known her family, nor had idea what they looked like. What she hadn't been expecting to see however was a large black cloud emerge from the closet. Geo instantly knew what this was in relation too, and watched as it slowly began to creep towards her. As someone who thrived off the energy of others, and dedicated her life to those she loved, Geo hated to prospect of being alone. The cloud was thick and continued to float towards her, and when she felt as though she was just about able to touch it, to be consumed by the thick fog of lonely silence, Geo pointed out her wand. "Riddikulus" she called loudly and clearly, and suddenly burst out laughing as the black cloud morphed into large bright pink mass of soft cotton candy, much like April's hair had resembled during Halloween. It was much more pleasing to look at, and she happily returned to her seat with a reassuring smile to her friend.

It was now the final week of lessons before the exams. Some of Phoebe's classmates were nervous about this, but Phoebe wasn't. She liked exams, she liked getting to show off how smart she was and how well she had paid attention during the lessons. Defence Against the Dark Arts had been awesome this year, though Phoebe expected a study lesson for the final one of the year. Apparently she was mistaken.

A cupboard was summoned to the front with a boggart inside. Professor Styx didn't waste any time before letting it attack a student. The first girl managed to do the spell, Elly seemed to be afraid of something her mother said, and for Geo it was some sort of black cloud. Then it turned to Phoebe, and she had no idea what it would be. In a flash, the boggart changed into the headmistress. Phoebe snorted. She wasn't afraid of her. But the woman held up a letter and told her that she was expelled from Hogwarts. She wasn't smart enough to be here. Behind her, all her sisters were looking at her pityingly, all doing magic and looking powerful. Funnily enough it was the sight of Diana's sad face that snapped her out of it. Diana wouldn't be looking at her like that, it didn't feel like her at all. She focused. "Riddikulus!" The headmistress deflated like a balloon and each of her sisters disappeared in a cloud of multi-colored confetti. She was glad she had managed it.

Sara was not looking forward to this lesson. She sighed and entered the Defence Against the Dark Arts classroom. No amount of mental preparation would actually prepare her for this. She stood in a line with the rest of her classmates, opting to be somewhere in the middle, as she wanted to get this over with but she didn't want to be one of the first people to go, either. As she waited for her turn, Sara reminded herself of what Professor Styx said last week, and before she could try to back out of this one the student in front of her was done and it was Sara‘s turn to face the boggart. She gripped her wand in her right hand as the boggart took a moment to turn into Leo, her brother and also the person she was closest to in her family. He was shaking his head, disappointingly, with arms folded which was most definitely not like the Leo she knew. "Riddikulus!" she said, pointing her wand at it and imagining Leo turning into a hamster. She burst out laughing, not being able to help herself. Oh, if only he could see this.

Teddy Bear 🐻 Explorer 🌲 Sweetheart

This was the last lesson of defense against the dark arts and Perry wondered if they could just revision notes and be done with it. He was tired and he didn't even do all the classes. He wondered how people like Geo did it. She did all classes and electives and even Quidditch it was odd how it was possible. Perry arrived in the classroom and the lesson soon started into a more practical one. The professor made a cupboard appear in class and Perry didn't really know what was going to happen next.

Until the person that went first made it seem clear what it was. A boggart or something and when it was Perry his turn he was frightened. He stood in front of the cupboard and the thing that came out turned into a giant grizzly bear. It freaked Perry out and he took a step back. Rethinking of what he had to do he envisioned a teddy bear variety. "Riddikulus'' he said when the giant grizzly turned into a teddy bear. He was glad that he had managed the spell once. He didn't really know what would happen if he hadn't managed it the first time. He left the classroom and smiled. This had been the last DADA lesson for this year.

[justify]Norton had been loving having his best friend back at school, it had made this semester incredible! Every second of it he had loved. It was magical, it was amazing and he had his best pet friend Venus with him too. The boy couldn’t take it to the classes with him so he just had to have it whenever he wanted otherwise. The teenager was eager and excited about all he had learned during the semester, he couldn’t wait to continue all of them, he had learned everything about it. Norton was absolutely loving all the work they’d been doing in class. Norton put his books and utensils into the bag, despite the fact that he doubted he’d need much of it given how little work they usually did during this week in the semester. So once he had everything he left for the class.

Norton was excited about this being the last week, though they hadn't spent a whole lot of time doing things he liked in the classes, he was happy that it would finally be at the end of it. They would be heading towards the yuleball and the fun that could be had in that. Norton took his seat in the defence against the dark arts classroom and looked up at the professor as the man got started. It was clear they would be facing a creature and the professor told them what they would be doing, clearly he had pushed the fact they'd been told in the last lesson so far back he'd forgotten. A boggart, seemed a but extreme, but okay, he could face this. He knew his fear was losing his family, he feared losing them but he also feared spiders and if he could focus on that then it would be fine. Eventually it was his turn and he stepped forward, focusing himself, looking towards the creature as it seemed to pick out Norton's fear, or the one he was projecting heavily. The boy pointed his wand and imagined the creature that he feared great become a flower like the ones clowns and magicians wore that squirted water. "Riddikulus!" he said focusing and before him it did change. he'd managed it. norton grinned happily and left the room.

[justify]The last lesson. That was all Viktor could process. Viktor walked into the classroom and settled down into the seat that he always went into. He took out his textbook and tapped his fingers against the hardback of the book while looking ahead to see what the lesson could be about. He knew that this might be a study lesson or a practical one. He hoped that it was the former because he did not like the whole practical thing. This was his preference, studying and not saying a word. However, this was not going to a study lesson. Viktor was a little surprised that his grandfather actually had a boggart with him today, and everyone had to see their greatest fears. Viktor did not even know his, so this should be a surprise. As soon as it was his turn, he stood in front and watched as the funny image by the previous person suddenly changed. Viktor's eyes widened as it looked like to be a little sheet. No wait, that was a lethifold. The sheer thought of that was definitely enough to bring Viktor to fear. He raised his wand and intoned the spell, and the sheet creature changed to a dancing, muggle-believed ghost. Viktor smirked a bit, and left. That was enough excitement for one day.
