There are many terrifying things in this world, Clowns...Thunder Storms.....weird talking dolls.. but the reaction of Morfin Gaunt when he found out that not only was his grandson alive but that his devil of a daughter in law was not only alive but had been keeping Marcellus from him too ,let's just say it would have been enough to have a fully grown dragon fleeing in panic
The two children looked round at the shattered classroom that had been on the receive end of Morfin's rage filled wand and rolled their eyes .Ever the dramatic was their Grandfather. They had spent the day with him in the Dark Arts Studies classroom catching up without the stress of classes on top of everything that was going on.
"What am I meant to tell your father?" he ranted
" I was hoping nothing quite yet" Marcel stated
"You want me to keep this a secret from my 'goody two shoes, wouldn't say boo to a goose' son?" He started before grinning at them mischievously "Done" he winked at the pair
" now shove off to classes,I think that's what a responsible grandfather is supposed to say,right?" They both laughed at him bidding their farewells and setting off down the corridor
"What lesson have you got" Emerald asked
"Ugh Charms with the Ravenbores" he grimaced "you?"
She smiled "Defense against the Dark Arts with Professor Lupin" she told him
He groaned "you could have told me I'm going the wrong way" he accused her
"I could have but I'm not that nice" she laughed earning herself a middle finger before he trudged off the other way.
"Today class we shall be carrying on with boggarts"Professor Lupin told her class who shuffled in anticipation "those who didn't get a chance to practice last time please come to the front" he instructed
"Erm let's see... Ahh yes why don't you have a go Miss Gaunt" he pointed to her
"Not such a good idea Professor you see I can hide my fears from those creatures" she told him smugly
"Nonsense ,no one is that skilled at Occulemency" he waved her off "just have a go"
Emerald walked up to the gold wardrobe ,the thing rattling around inside of it before bursting it but all that void be seen was a black mist floating around ,after a few moments of it not changing ,she turned to Professor Lupin "told you" she smirked to the speechless Professor before rejoining her friends
"Brave one that girl,might even be better than you Malfoy" Emerald heard Crabbe whisper.
"Shut it Cake-Face" The blonde boy snapped, once again he was in awe of this girl, was there nothing she couldn't do? Besides his admiration for the brunette, he couldn't help but wonder what a boggart of a Gaunt could possibly look like, Em was fearless, afraid of nothing or no one ,could walk through hell with a smile on her face but even she must have something that sends shivers down her spine ,surely?
"Mr Malfoy, your turn" the Professors voice snapped him out of his trance, he sent the teacher a glare ,he did not want to do this right now ,but maybe seeing Voldemort in class might be enough to shut the great git Crabbe up at least?
He took a shaky breath and stepped up to the boggart, trying to calm his nerves, he was a skilled Occulemens thanks to his Aunt Bellatrix, but he knew he wouldn't be able to pull off what Emerald just had.
It's just a vision, it's not real - he told himself
The doors of the wardrobe burst open and to everyone's shock and Draco's horror out stepped an angry looking Lucius Malfoy, muttering something about him being the family disappointment and not worthy of the family name, his mother was stood a few feet behind him looking worried.
