R-R-Ridikulus!

[Addie Ravenclaw]

Addie Ravenc'law sat in an empty classroom doing her homework. The Ravenclaw common room was full, and Ray was sick of the not-so-occasional whispers of other students. She heard the old coat closet rattling. She sat in the chair and kept doing her homework.

Rattle, rattle.
Rattle, rattle.
Rattle, rattle.

Eventually the incessant rattling got on Addie's nerves. She set down her quill. She turned catiously toward the coat closet. She could anticiapte what it was.....

A tall, hooded man stepped out of the closet, a wand in her hand. He took off her mask to reveal the face of Voldemort. She screamed

"Rid- Rid- Rid- Riddikulus...-" said Addie feebly. The boggart was getting nearer. With a rush of adrenaline, she ran backwards. She tried again, "Riddikulus!" it was stronger this time. But it still wasn't enough. She stumbled backwards, landing on her back. She dropped her wand. It rolled under the teacher's desk in the back of the room. The boggart was getting closer...... Soon it was in front of her. She scrambled to her feet and made for her wand. It was too far under..... She went around to the other side. The boggart was still following her accross the room.

"Join us. my dear, the Dark Lord needs a servant at Hogwarts......" It's voice was cruel and menacing. Addie was sprawled on the floor, reaching under the edsk for her wand. Finally, she reached it.

"Riddikulus!" She said the incantation with everything she had. It still wasn't enough. She couldn't make the boggart look funny. It had now positioned itself in front of the door...... getting closer.

One last time, Addie said, "Riddikulus!" But it still didn't work. As the boggart drew nearer, Sparrow screamed.

[Silas Riddle]

Silas rushed into the room, almost no one knew of this room and now someone was screaming from inside. Once Silas opened the door she was shocked to see that her father, Lord Voldemort was inside, inside Hogwarts and scaring Addie. Only then did Silas realise what the girl had been screaming. 'Riddikulus', this Voldemort was a boggart.

"Hey!" Silas screamed across the room, hoping to get the boggarts attention. When the shout didn't work Silas ran over in front of Addie realising just as she had what would happen. She really did hate dementors, they were really the only thing she was truly afraid of, she was afraid of fear, it made her feel weak and useless.

She saw her father fading away, a dark looking dementor appearing in front of her almost immeidiately. She felt shivvers run through her body. Gathering everything she could she stood squarely, pointed her wand at the dementors face and shouted 'Riddikulus'. Everything went back to normal, except for the funny looking ball of light trapped inside a box in front of her. Smiling at the ball of light she opened the coat closet from which she assumed the boggart had come, locked the closet securly, and turned around to smile at Addie. "Well, no harm done."

She was a bit mad, and offended that her father was Addies worst fear, but she knew they would discuss it later. Sighing she walked over to the desk and jumped slightly to sit on top of it, grimacing slightly at all the dirt she had most likely just sat in.

[Addie Ravenclaw]

Addie climbed fullyly, but shakily to her feet. "Thanks SIlas." she said with a cooler voice. She brushed a strand of dark brown hair behind her ear. She looked around. Looking at her wand she saw it said 'H.A.' "Hm..." she mumbled.Addie successfully calmed down.

She sighed. "What is H.,A suposed to mean?" she wondered aloud. She gave a quick glance at the wand and then pushed it into her sweater. Addie looked at SIlias. "Um..the ole worst fear thing being your dad, I hope it didn't hurt you. but he is kinda scary," she said her hands going up in a scale lik e position.

She smiled a bit but soon after disapeared. She wasn't sure of SIlias's reaction.

[Silas Riddle]

Silas simply nodded to Addie, not wanting to discuss that whenever someones worst fear turned out to be her father it hurt. They just didn't know him as she did and she realised it was hard for everyone else as well, just not as hard for them as for her. Did they realise how much she went through, the Ministry questioning her, the people being rude to her, it went on and on. People judged her because of her last name, because of her father, because of who she was related to. It was ridiculus in itself that people didn't like her for who else she was related to.

She lay down flat on the desk, tracing patterns in the dust in front of her wondering what she could do now.

[Addie Ravenclaw]

Addie watched. "I said sorry," she said turning to walk away. Silas wasn't the only girl going through that crap. She was to. Due to her parents have a close relationship with him, and then dying, she was questioned often.

Mostly Addie, was able to avoide, people because being Ravencalaw. Not many spoke to her. And if she said if she ever had a crush, she watched from afar. She was a bit chicken to boys especially with who her parents were. Addie sighed. Her eyes were nearly swallowed with tears from the mere memory of her parents. SHe hated them and she loved them.

But now, she'd never ne able, to tell them or say something about them again. Addie wipped away her tears. She leaned against the door her back to Silas. Sinking to the ground, Addie hid her head in her hands. The thoughts, of her memories andparents, was to harsh. She wished someone could just brainwash her already!
