Defence today

[alt_sally_anne]

So Defence today was rather exciting. Professor Lestrange had arranged for us to each face a boggart. I suppose I shouldn't say more than that because he'll want to explain how it works to all the other houses in turn, I should think. But it was dead interesting.

Well, you can think it through first and make it change really fast. My bog You turn it into something funny, when you do the spell.

It's....it's more than just that it's personal.

It's just that--well, I can't take that class. I can't face a boggart in front of other people.

I've got to get out of it somehow.

I would have thought your boggart would be Master, too. I know you hate Transfiguration.

It's not. I don't think it is. And if I'm right....

I can't do it. Don't ask me why.

All right.

No need to panic, Nev. If you have to skive off, that's our specialty, no questions asked. What time's your next DADA class?

[alt_neville]

Uh, 10:00 in the morning on Friday.

Perfect. Come see us that morning. We'll give you a potion that should have you spewing up your breakfast within fifteen minutes. You can nip off to the hospital wing and hang out there.

I'm telling you, a headache would work just as well. It's not as if Madam Pomfrey gives you veritaserum to make SURE you REALLY have one.

Re: I Solemnly Swear That I Am Up To No Good

[alt_neville]

No. I'll do it. I've got to make absolutely sure that Madam Pomfrey doesn't sent me back to class.

Trust me on this.

Skive off. How much attention do your prefects pay if you say you're sick? Just say you have a headache and go up to bed for an hour or two.

Or have someone hex you. Greg got hexed by some older boy in Ravenclaw yesterday, probably because he deserved it, and he was up in the hospital wing for two hours.
