This lesson being held out on the grounds was a surprise to Avalon, but once she had arrived, it was less so. Of course Professor Khanna would be nice enough to charm the environment to be nice and warm instead of making them stand out in the freezing cold. That was a relief. There were lots of things spread around the area to be curious about, but the lesson swiftly began just after she had arrived, so at least she didn't have to wonder for long.

...Or maybe she would've preferred to continue wondering. BOGGARTS??? The absolute worst thing that could possibly happen!! Even worse than being forced to stand outside in the cold for a lesson!!! Fighting dummies and pixies she could handle, but boggarts were the last thing she ever wanted to face again, especially in front of her classmates. This was so embarrassing!!

The last time she had faced one in Gigi Gunter's basement, she was eight years old, and it had turned into a banshee.

And it. was. horrifying.

But what if this turned into something else? There were SO MANY things she did NOT want to face. Lethifolds. Dementors. Manticores. The ocean. There were so many scary things in the world!!!

Avalon hung back and tried to get as far back in the line as she could, her mind racing, hardly paying attention to what the people in front of her were facing off against. Maybe there was a way out of this. Maybe she could pretend she'd caught a cold on the way down here. Maybe she could fake an injury. Maybe she could convince the professor that she had no fears, so there was no point in facing the boggart at all, and she could move on to the next part of the course. Surely there was some way to get out of this, she just had to pick the most convincing one, utilize her best acting skills, and-

Wait.

It was her turn already?????

Eyes wide, she realized there was no one else in front. It was... her... turn...

Um. Well. Okay, well-

Okay. She couldn't chicken out now. THAT would also be embarrassing. So. Okay.

Maybe this would be...fine. The last time she'd only been a kid, and now she was older, wiser (questionable), and - the best part of all - knew some magic. So maybe she could handle this now. Maybe she wouldn't humiliate herself.

Wand gripped tight in her hand, Avalon took a deep breath and forced herself to take a few steps forward. Each step felt like there was a lead weight on the bottom of her feet, but she took them nonetheless.

She was...ready? Sure. Hopefully.
