 Constant Vigilance! O_O AWAKE!
Uh-oh. Boggarts. Juniper took a deep breath and clung tightly to the handle of her broomstick. The fourth year slowly flew toward one of the broom-riding boggarts and paused a fairly safe distance away. She was utterly unprepared for this. She was not mentally prepared, either to face her worst fear or to turn it into something laughable. Juniper could feel the sweat from her hands gathering on her broom handle as she edged closer to the boggart with bated breath. If only it would change into her worst fear already so she could get it over with.
Waiiit a minute. Juniper's breath caught in her throat. No. No, this was not happening. She could not make anything funny out of this! Tears welled up in the fourth year's eyes as she stared at the boggart!Anti-Nature Girl who was laughing menacingly and dropping poor innocent pets of other Ravenclaw students to their deaths.
"Noooo..."
Juniper could not let boggart!Kovac do that. She would not. It was her duty to stop boggart!Anti-Nature Girl! Surely that was the entire reason she had been sorted into Ravenclaw. She had to stop this horror. But how?
...By imagining boggart!Anti-Nature Girl in a pink rabbit suit, of course. What was funnier than seeing a girl who hated both pink and animals in a suit that made her both pink and an animal? Nothing, of course! Juniper began giggling uncontrollably and flew haphazardly at boggart!Kovac-in-a-pink-rabbit-suit in order to knock the boggart off its broom. She braced herself for the collision by reminding herself that it was a boggart and not the real Kovac, and--
THWACK!
Juniper collided with boggart!Kovac-in-a-pink-rabbit-suit head-on and was disconcerted enough from the collision that she did not get to see the boggart fall from its broom to the turquoise trampoline. Instead, she flew in a spiral that reflected her own dizziness until she landed just outside the red rectangle, stumbled inside the red rectangle, and sank to the ground, broom still in hand. She did not need chocolate... but she sure as Merlin's neon blue pants needed some therapy. |
