Chapter 18
A few days later I got up and got dressed into my school robes before heading down to the dungeons towards Snape's room whilst everyone else was in the great hall. Whilst I sat down drinking my blood Snape sat at his desk grading some essays.
"So what is your first lesson today?" He asked.
"Defence against the dark arts" He tutted.
"Oh yes, with Lupin" When he said my godfathers name with venom I glared slightly.
"What's with the hostility?"
"You don't need to know"
"I do when you have an issue with my godfather" He sighed.
"Let's just say we don't see eye to eye" I raised my eye brow but shuck it off and jumped off the stool and went to the classroom. When I entered I noticed that it was a class mixed with Hufflepuffs and Slytherins Pansy. Ever since my run in with her even though she didn't remember it I hated her and she seemed to feel the exact same way to me as she glared at me as I entered.
"Hello class!" We looked to the front of the room to see Lupin standing in front of a large wooden wardrobe. "Today, you will be learning about Boggarts" I slightly shuddered at the thought of a Boggart, these were creatures that would take the form of something you feared and I would rather not face any of my fears. After learning the spell Riddikulus we lined up to face the Boggart. After a few people faced the Boggart despite everyone else laughing at I could feel knots starting in my stomach there was a few things that could pop up and my biggest fear was if it was something that relieved that I am a vampire. As I got closer to the wardrobe I just had to take a few deep breaths hoping Lupin would help me if something happened. I was now next in the line and after taking a few deep breaths I readied my shaking wand and stepped forward the Boggart, which was in it's previous form of a spider started transforming after looking at me I could feel my nerves were heightening making me shake more as it took form. In front of me stood my dad in his prison clothes hanging off his skeleton-like body his hair matted and his eyes crazed as he held a bloodied knife one body was behind him, which I recognised as my mum from pictures Lupin had shown me. Another one in front of him had a blurred face but I could see he was wearing Slytherin robes and I could see blonde hair. I gasped slightly as he made eye contact with me and I tried to conjure the spell but I was shaking to much, tears had started falling down my face. 'Dad' started walking towards me when Lupin swiftly stepped in front of me turning the Boggart into a full moon and he used the Riddikulus spell on it sending it away. Before Lupin could even say one word I quickly bolted towards the door trying to ignore the looks I was getting from the class.
I speed walked though the halls as quickly as I could when I ran into someone. I stopped and looked up slightly to see Draco, who had his injured arm in a sling.
"Angel? Aren't you meant to be in a class? Wait, why are you crying?" I tried to speak but I was still too shaken so he quickly looked around making sure there was no-one around before taking my hand in his non-injured hand and led me away. As we walked I quickly pulled him into Moaning Myrtles bathroom and shut the door. I quickly sat by the large window where Draco sat next to me. "So, you wanna talk about it?" I took a few deep breaths but I could still feel tears falling, I jumped when I felt a hand on my face. Turning towards Draco I saw he was brushing the tears away. I took a few deep breaths before explaining what happened and silently waited to hear his response. "Why was your Boggart Black? I mean him murdering your mum and me specifically? If he's after Potter why would he get you?" I sighed looking down.
"I guess, you already know one secret about me might as well tell you the other one. I took Lupin's last name when I started living with him. My real name is Angelica Black" I stayed silent waiting for him to leave but he stayed. "I guess, I've always wanted to believe my dad would never hurt someone and I want to believe he is innocent. But what if he really is insane and if he does arrive he hurts the people I care about" I hoped he didn't see the slight blush I had from just admitting that Draco was someone I cared about. He placed a hand on mine which was still slightly shaky.
"Well, you've always seemed to have a good judge in character, so maybe your right"
"I really hope so"
