*ooc: I'm really sorry I missed the start of this lesson. My IV has been switched to my thigh, which makes typing easier ---I love this laptop, Thanks! Jaime!---
I lost a handfull of my hair today, and I'm considering running away. My skin is burnt.*

Pookah stepped in front of the trunk, and bit her lip, trying hard not to laugh with Arkee, but suddenly she froze, as a tall handsome doctor was walking towards her, clutching all sorts of needles and tubes in his hands. The doctor was whispering things like " come here, it will be ok..."
Pookah screamed in horror, and gave a few steps back.

"No no! Go away!"

-"RIDDIKULUS!"

The needles and tubes in the doctors hands turned into pixy sticks, gummy snakes, and candy canes.

She sighed in relief, but still looked quite shaken.

*ooc: I WANT TO GO HOME!*

Jaren simply glared in Nadia's direction, one that plainly said "If you blab about this to anyone, I will rip out your soul and give it to you on a silver platter." He stood off to the side and watched the other students tackle the Boggart.

Upon seeing the singing, piano-playing Wasp, a ghost of a smile seems to creep upon his face, but it was gone faster than a dirty sock up a vaccum cleaner...but, knowing Nadia, she was sure to have noticed, Jaren thought to himself with resignment. What on Earth is with me today?!

Keilun was next, approaching with reluctance. This was the first time he'd tried casting a spell with a non-Chinese incantation, and he was worried that he would botch the whole thing by messing up the pronounciation. The boggart didnt give him time to think, instantly turning into a tall Chinese man with a long grey beard and light blue Oriental robes--his Shifu, or Master. Keilun cringed, whimpering.

"Ni mei yong de fei wu!" barked the man in an angry booming voice. "Ba ni diao chu qui dao wai guo shi ying gai de!"

"Reddiculls...Riddikkius..." whimpered Keilun, thrusting his wand in front of him. The man continued to yell at him, making him even more frantic. "Riddikilus! Reddikurus! Riddikulus! RIDDIKULUS!"

Finally the spell worked, turning into a brown monkey, which continued jabbering unintelligably at Keilun, who sank to his knees in relief and laughter.

Ah, how typical, Nadia thought at the deadly glare from Jaren. She gave him one ^__^ smile before turning to the front again. Ah, how she enjoyed teasing him, poor him~

One thing was sure, Nadia felt quite brighter than minutes before and as she stared at the wasp playing the piano she couln't help laughing. She had to lean on something to stop her from falling to the floor. Oh poor boggart, she thought, must be really suffering it by the way I'm laughing right now.

It was then that she felt a chill at the back of her head, sensing as if somebody was looking at her.... probably nothing. She still had the intention of knowing who it was, but something took that matter of from her head. Pookah went on front and fighted her boggart. Nadia stared down at the floor thinking. When Pookah was done, Nadia approached her and placed a hand on her shoulder. "Good job," she said, smiling warmly at her.

Next was Keilun. Needless to say, not a word did Nadia understood. She figured there must be something hard - something from his past or a future to fear. Leilun in the other hand seemed to have some difficulties -- Nadia thought about helping but, just in time, he managed the right incantation. It's best, she thought, as she didn't feel like confronting her fear - the many of them - again. Now Keilun was done, Nadia's head turned mechanically to Backslash..... why was he looking so cranky?

One last though crossed her mind. If there was time, she might be feeling like encountering her fear once more...

Jaren watched Keilun tackling the Boggart, then glanced at Nadia from the corner of his eye. Maybe it was just him, but she looked rather worn...or worried, or both. He frowned to himself. It was almost like the expression she had near the end of his second year.

It's not my business to pry into other people's personal lives, He thought to himself. Still, he made a mental note to keep track of her, just in case.

Arkee, who had recovered from her laugh attack, stood up behind Jaren. Remembering his snake boggart, she pursed her lips in an attempt to contain her giggles.

It wasn't so easy, knowing the look of utter embarrasment that flashed on his face when he realised he'd reacted in fear.

'Serves him right,' Arkee thought smugly, 'He's always trying to be all tough-guy and nothing-scares-me. Now we know he's human like the rest of us.'

She snorted, and tried to cover it up by coughing.

Jaren heard what sounded like laughter hastily disgused as a cough and spared a quick glance behind him. Great. Not that girl again. He decided to act as if he didn't notice, though mentally he was throughly annoyed.

Professor Rae stepped in front of the boggart, and it turned back into the strange cauldron. She quickly banished the boggart into the trunk and locked it. "You did an excellent job, class. I'm very proud of you and your willingness to step into the line of fire, so to speak."

"Your homework is due on October 27. I want from you a short description of what you experienced when facing the boggart, as well as a paragraph describing additional ways you could fight the boggart, besides Riddikulus. I'll reward one point for each way you think of for a maximum of five points on that part. I'm also giving extra credit if you draw me a picture of your own personal boggart. Good luck, and class dismissed."

Jaren nodded and grabbed his school bag, nodding to the Professor as he took his leave, his mind working furiously. Professor Rae most feared a cauldron...why did he think this was somehow significant? He had nothing to back up that hunch...

"Good day, Professor. I look forward to your next class."

Nadia nodded, a shadow in her face as she noticed it was too late to... nevermind. Somehow, lately, it was always too late. It doesn't bother her, but that also told about what was becoming of.... Ah! Dear, I have to stop thinking so much, Nadia thought getting out, holding her head as if though a painful headache. She still had to do some research, so she better get out quickly.

Grabbing her things, half way though it, she stood and rushed out with one last call, "Thanks, professor! Great Class!"

She almost stumbled on giggling Arkee, bringing a smile to her own face.

Hermy jotted down the homework assignment, gathered her things and slowly left the classroom.

Feesha packed up her things, "Bye professor, great lesson!"

Tina wrote down the homework and left.

OOC: Great... The homework is due on my birthday.
