"So the boggart sitting in the darkness within has not yet assumed a form. He does not yet know what will frighten the person on the other side of the door. Nobody knows what a boggart looks like when he is alone, but when I let him out, he will immediately become whatever each of us most fears."
Emma challenged me to describe what a boggart would turn into for me, so here goes...
Bombs and guns are probably my biggest fears but I’m absolutely terrified of looking out my window at night and seeing a man holding a huge gun, with a couple grenades on his belt (is that even where you keep grenades?) staring right at me. He would have blonde hair too... maybe this fear was triggered in fourth year? That was when I was learning about the Nazis in History... maybe... because I also fear nuclear bombs (the other module for that exam was the cold war). That would be another possible transformation the boggart would be for me, a huge mushroom cloud! But it wouldn’t fear me to watch it so I think it would be a window looking out upon a dark night with a blonde man pointing a huge gun at me.
And then I would point my willow wand with its phoenix feather core 11inch Mahogany Unicorn Hair core wand at the boggart and yell:
“Riddikulus!”
And pop! It would (hopefully) turn into a man holding onto a rubber chicken with several Kinder Eggs on his belt and they would taste good. Or if it was a mushroom cloud it would change into hundreds of those marshmallow-y mushrooms with coconut! Yum yum!
Now, I challenge you! To write about your biggest fear, what a boggart would turn into for you! Kind of like a meme!
Good luck on the battle against your biggest fear!
