She managed it, until she realized she couldn't feel Ludo's hand anymore. It was like her hand had gone numb. Feeling the tears start to spring to her eyes, she dragged her lower lip between her teeth, biting down. She was NOT going to panic. Not in front of everyone. Not in front of Professor Kazimeriz. Who knew what would happen to her if she broke down in front of him, showed weakness?

Letting the pain from biting her teeth ground her, she tightened her numb hand, hoping that Ludo was still there as she tried to think of a way to make the disappearing people in front of her funny. Especially the ones who looked like they were dying. It physically was hurting her to see her family like that, which was making it hard to think. But finally she remembered watching Qaz on the trampoline, and a faint thread of thought came into her mind. How could she make all this funny? Maybe if the people weren't allowed to leave, or lie on the ground dead.

The tiniest smile appearing on her face through her tears, though she refused to stop biting her lip, she pictured the ground underneath her friends and family turning into a big trampoline, and a glass wall appearing behind the ones who were walking away. Inhaling deeply and deliberately, she let her lip free of her teeth and waved her wand with her free hand. "Riddikulus!," she called out, forcing her voice to stay steady as she watched her vision slowly appear, the falling people bouncing back up ridiculously while the others slammed into the wall. It was all a little slapstick, but at least they weren't going anywhere.
Elizabeth's boggart-family and friends began bouncing up and down wildly- an older man even doing flips in the air and crashing down on the trampoline on his head. Defeated, the 'family' vision ran back into the wardrobe.
