Ginny's Boggart

December 25, 2004

By poppincorn

Enjoy!

This year professor Moody thought they should learn how to defend themselves from a Boggart. Ginny wasn't sure what she was going to find out, but she had a pretty good idea. Since defense was an all Gryffindor class, she figured that she could hide out in the back and not be noticed.

Professor Moody scanned the room to make sure no one was missing or sneaking out. As he explained the rules Ginny flew to her fellow red-head, Becky, as not to be noticed.

Three quarters of the class had already had a go with the Boggart and Ginny had seen an angry rhinoceros, a floating mummified hand, and a failed O.W.L. She thought that she was off the hook when 3 people, other than herself, were left with only 5 minutes of class.

"Ginny Weasly."

Ginny's head popped up from chatting with another girl from her dorm. She gulped, tried to pull herself together, and walked slowly from the back of the room to the front where the Boggart lay in the suitcase. As she approached the Boggart it sensed her and changed from a pair of red dancing shoes into a very tall, dark and handsome young man.

Ginny gasped and began backing up into her classmates who were ogling him (mainly females).

"Tom!" she gasped. She needed to get out of here, is it getting a little stuffy in here she thought before toppling over onto her friend Greg.

"Are you alright Ginny?" he asked with concern. She bobbed her head absent mindedly as confirmation. She was scared and nothing could make it funny.

Tom began reading lines from a little black diary. "Ron hasn't been talking to me lately, and neither are Percy, Fred and George. I'm so glad that I have you Tom." He read another line. "I don't think Harry is ever going to like me now that George and Fred sent him that stupid valentine from me!" Ginny was so scared that she didn't notice all the whispers being exchanged throughout the room.

Tom dropped the diary and It disappeared only to be replaced by a wand in his right hand. He spelled out the name Tom Marvolo Riddle in the air only for the letters to rearrange themselves into the words I Am Lord Voldemort. The entire class was on edge, and deliriously scared. Nobody dared move except for Tom Himself. None wanted to believe that this handsome student in Hogwarts robes was Voldemort himself. Ginny began whimpering and all were to frozen to do anything. Only as Tom started to speak again did anyone move.

"Ginny," Tom said, the whole class except for Ginny hanging on his every word "You did this, you released a monster! You opened the Ch-"

Whatever Tom was going to say was cut off by Professor Moody jumping in front of Ginny and changing the Boggart into a dementor. "Reddikulus" he shouted and the dementor took off his hood and revealed him to be a beauty queen with too much make-up.

The class asked Ginny what the Boggart was going to say but she admitted she didn't know and ran off.

They never did find out what Tom was going to say, but her dorm mates said that they had heard her sobbing later that night. Some even went so far as to ask her brother Ron what it meant, but he and his friends had rushed out to find her, leaving the third year Gryffindors clueless once again.

Later that day, if one had been watching 'Mad-Eye Mood' they would have seen him pat himself on the back and say "Good that didn't get out, the Dark-Lord would be most displeased."

AN: I always wanted to write a fic about Ginny's boggart. The very few I've read leave much to be desired. I know mine might not be perfect but I like it,even though the ending is a little anti-climactic.

Review Please, it'll boost my confidence and only take you 2 minutes!
