Caiest smiled as Cassandra said that Dana was in fact very impatient. She watched as Cassandra unlocked the box. A very large serpent came out and Cassandra yawned at it telling Caiest to take it. As if on cue the Boggart turned to face her.
Immediately the boggart changed it took the form of Caiest's worse fear...blood. It looked exactly like Caiest except it was covered in blood. Caiest stood frozen. She couldn't stand blood it terrified her. She didn't know why and perhaps that was why it was a phobia it was an irrational fear. Caiest couldn't think properly. She uttered a small scream as the boggart came toward her and she backed away till she had backed herself into a corner. "GET IT AWAY GET IT AWAY!" She half sobbed as she sank to the ground hands covering her head. The boggart was touching her and she could feel the smear of blood on her arms.

“Doxy wings and nails are used in potions. I don’t recall anything potion with doxy poison though. Don’t let it bite you none the less,” Dana stated when she heard a scream and turning the corner Dana ruhed towards Caiest. A bloody Caiest looming over a Caiest sobbing on the floor. Dana had to forcefully push Caiest back to get enough room for herself to position between the boggart and Caiest.
The creature pulled back and for a minute it swirled black, before Kris grinned back at Dana. Only his eyes had changed – the whites were almost yellow, he almost had fangs, almost like a vampire. Dana had always feared vampires for some reason. And he had a scull with a snake crawling out of it on his arm. The arm the image of Kris had a wand in. The wand he raised against Dana right now.
Dana stood still for a moment – the pressure on Kris to choose Voldemort’s side was immense. He was wealthy, didn’t have bothering strings, had connections and influence and he was a pure-blood. Dana did fear that Kris might bend under the pressure and choose wrongly.
“Riddiculus!” Dana almost roared out raising her own wand and a moment later a boy with messy hair and a teeth missing, with dirty hands and scraped knees smiled back to her. Kris as a true trouble-maker as he had been when he was five with one kind of an animal in his hands again. There had always been animals near Kris - still were. Dana smiled at the image – one of the earliest she remembered - softly as the boy tilted it's head, before letting out a laugh, destroying the boggart completely. Dana wondered for a moment whether or not Cass recognized the kid, but it didn't really matter.
Dana lowered her head and wand for a moment and when she turned around here eyes warned Cass and Tristan not to comment as Dana knelt down next to Caiest.
“It’s just a boggart. Nothing happened to you. It’s over,” Dana pulled out some choclate frogs from her pocket and handed everyone one, “Eat it. It helps.”<br>

Caiest felt herself being forcefully pushed out of the way. She allowed it to happen but she stayed in the same position she was in before. Knees tucked up to her chest. Her head was resting on her knees and she had her head still covered. She heard Dana yell Riddiculus but she still didn't dare look up. Even though she had known it was a boggart she still hadn't been able to face it. She had been lucky up till now she'd never had to face one before. Some reason or another had always prevented it. She supposed those Slytherins that had chased her earlier on in the year calling her weak and a coward were right she was weak and cowardly if she couldn't face a simple boggart.
She felt Dana kneel next to her and tell her she was alright that nothing had happened. Caiest cursed herself silently for breaking down like that now her friends knew what scared her most and she hated showing any kind of weakness to anyone especially her friends. Now they would make fun of her or worse pity her for being so weak. No they were her friends they'd probably just leave it alone which was the way Caiest liked it.
She lifted her head up from her knees and wiped her eyes quickly before facing Dana. Dana gave her a chocolate frog. Caiest took it from her and popped the frog into her mouth and the wizard card into her back pocket. "Well Sorry about that won't happen again." She said clapping her hands together and getting up. "So ready to go on?" She asked everyone with a small smile. She was masking and she knew it they probably knew it to. Hopefully they'd leave her to it. After all that's how she delt with everything push whatever's bothering you to the very back corners of your mind and you'll never have to think about it again. Actually it didn't because there would come a time when it would become too much and she would break down. Luckily if and when that time came she could blame it on Exams and no one would be the wiser.
She headed for the next hallway. "You guys coming or not? I thought you wanted to get practice in Dana."

Cass heard Caeist scream. Turning around quickly, she saw Dana push herself in between herself and the boggart. Watching the boggart transform, she saw a very evil looking Kris come into being. " Oh my god...." Cass stared in disbelief. Cass knew Kris was a Slytherin through and through, but she never really imagined him like this. She didn't think of him as evil or even able to become evil.
So, this is Dana's worst fear, Cass thought to herself. She doesn't want Kris to go to the dark side.
As soon as Caeist stood up, she ran to her friends side. " Are you okay?! Oh my god, what was that?" She said this last part in disbelief. " Are you sure you want to go on? I mean, I don't want you to have to go through that again." Pure concern crossed Cass' face.
Turning to Dana, she asked, " Who was the kid? He was adorable looking."

Dana heard Caiest reaction and observed the scene calmly with all her thoughts shielded. She understood why Caiest so happily wanted to go forward – she wouldn’t like anyone to see her when she collapsed a little. Dana was worried a little, but Caiest was a smart girl and strong as well – Dana figured she could take care of herself. And if not, then Dana would be close enough to help.
“Yup, I want to get some practice, so I’m all for going forward. I think there should be a Knarl soon. I would like to see one,” Dana answered calmly continuing calmly down the hallway.
Glancing back over her shoulder where the boggart had been with a smile appearing on her face once again: “I’m afraid I can’t tell you who he is. I would have to kill you if I did. Or he would kill you. Or at least hurt you badly after using a memory-charm.”<br>Dana grinned at the spot but didn’t comment any further. The topic of her biggest fear was forbidden as well and Dana could make comments biting enough to make sure no-one ever commented on it. Even though a lot of murmurs had risen in class, when they were learning boggarts and Dana’s boggart appeared.
Blinking Dana brought her thoughts back to present and opened her chocolate frog box, catching the frog easily: “Wizards certainly know how to make chocolate!”<br>

Cass giggled. "You don't have to tell me who it is now. I got the hint." She winked at her friend. " You know, I've never seen a knarl either. I haven't seen alot of what you would consider dark creatures. But, I haven't had the greatest Dark Arts teachers."
Cass continued to walk down the hall, letting her feet pad down the stone floor. " Oh yeah by the way. I don't know if you got the owl, but mom said it would be okay if I came and visited you this summer. It was odd. She seemed so very against it when we were in the Alley, but she warmed up to the idea."
Hearing a sound coming from behind, she turned around. " Did you hear that?"
