The Boggart's Closet
~*~
marvolo
Procyon Black trots down the corridor away from the Sauna/Pool room as fast as his four feet can manage on the slippery stone floor. The first door he comes to he whispers "Alohomora" and slips in.
WHOMP!
"There we go! Good one! Smack on!" someone exclaims with glee.
Procyon yelps and backs out as quickly as possible, slamming the door after himself. How could he have forgotten that Professor Python's Being-Hit-on-the-Head-Lessons were in that classroom?
What he needs most is a quiet spot to concentrate on transfiguring back to himself. Blast! Why is this so difficult for me? Dad can do it at the drop of a bone! He spots a large closet at the end of the hall. He dives into it and shuts the door, panting. Suddenly, in front of him stands another great Irish Wolfhound, identical to himself....an even greater wave of panic slaps Procyon in the muzzle....until he realizes he is in the Boggart's closet. "Riddikulus," he mutters joyfully, and then, "Oh, I like this. Let's see what happens when they come in here!" He crouches behind the Boggart and waits for the door to open.

Gloria races after Procyon, then sees a closet at the end of a hallway. She hears a soft panting from inside. Aha, she thinks to herself, and slowly tiptoes up to the door.
She takes a deep breath and reaches for the handle of the closet. Opening the door, she sees a large dog and ... suddenly Gloria crumples to the floor, fainted.

OCC: I say, harrypotter, I'm on the edge of my chair to voyeuristically find out what Gloria's biggest fear is and you threw in a klinker...in my opinion you should either revive Gloria or have Lucky look inside and reveal his hidden fears. How about it anyone? Procyon is hiding and can't revive her right now--and she probably wouldn't appreciate wet dog kisses anyway....

On her way from the Pool/Sauna room down to the kitchen, Blinkie the house-elf encounters a student lying in front of a closet.
"Miss, is you fine?" She asks, stepping closer. "Miss?" Blinkie recognizes her; it is the powerful Slytherin girl that drinks the Iced Poison Ivy Juice.
Blinkie conjures up a catnip-stuffed toy mouse and swings it over the girl's nose. When the girl begins to revive, Blinkie leaves her with it, kicks the closet door shut and marches on down the hall...

Gloria blinks and sits up.
"Oh my gosh, I had the weirdest dream...." She looks around and suddenly remembers where she is. "Wait, that wasn't a dream!"
She stands up and knocks on the Boggart's closet. "Hey, Procyon, you in there? Hellooo?"

Snarfoogle runs down the hall and sees Gloria standing by a closet. "Hey, what's in there?" he asks, grinning goofily at Gloria. Without waiting for an answer, he pulls open the door.
A giant stalk of celery and an Irish wolfhound fall out.
"AIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEE!!!" screams Snarfoogle. "NOT CELERY!"
Snarfoogle tears out of the room, screaming

Freida walks into the cupbooard to see what the screaming is. The stick of celery promptly turns into her cousin. (Yuk, yuk, yuk. I hate him.)

Procyon backs into the corner of the closet and transfigures back into his human form. All goes well, except the one part of him that is always rather slow to transform...Doggone-it! I'm afraid this is always going to follow me around!, he thinks. He straightens up and steps forward out of the closet. He smiles brightly at Gloria and Freida, but out of the corner of his eye, he sees the Boggart change from Draco Malfoy to a rather large and shaggy dog's tail....
He side-steps around the girls, and watches the Boggart change into Gloria's greatest fear, which is a...

**steps in, in wolf form** (NOT werwolf, wolf, animagi) woo-doo... **sees the boggart, which prompty transforms into a big, agressive hurrhok (A pegasus with bat wings, claws, and sharp teeth. **she yelps and turns human, fumbling for her wand, before the hurrhok is upon her. The grazes her side, and she doesn't even notice anyone around her. It whirls, and her wand falls with a clatter to the floor. She bends to pick it up, but the huurhok head-butts her away. With a distinctly canine yelp, she transforms again, and hid the wall with a thud. She doesn't move. The Boggart again turns to gloria, and you know the drill...

As the boggart turns to Gloria it becomes a tall hooded figure. Gloria gasps with fright and hides behind Freida. The boggart turns back into Draco Malfoy and Gloria lets out a sigh of relief. Taking a few deep breaths she murmurs something, and the boggart disappears with a satisfying *pop*
*
marvolo
"Wow," thinks Procyon. "I really like hanging around this closet...you learn so much! A hurrhok, huh? And what was that tall hooded figure?...hmmm"
He smiles delightedly at Gloria and Ariac, trying not to wag. "Hey, ladies, what's going on? Thanks for popping that Boggart, Gloria, neat trick--you have an uncanny ability to fix things. I wish you'd been at the DADA a few seconds ago, I could have used some help."

"sorry,*studies Gloria for a name* Gloria, Rubbs her eye and turns to go the other way down the hall.... muttering "hmmmm! if he's a 1st year gryffindor how do i get him to fall for it....." Her mtters fade as she goes further and furthur down the hall*

"Hey Gloria." calls Freida "Want to come to Hogsmede with Orchid and me after? We're shopping for the autograph party."

Gloria giggles. "Yeah, I heard about the DADA 'incident'. Sounds like you've got quite a girlfriend." She pauses and twirls a lock of hair around her finger. "Erm, speaking of girlfriends, would you happen to know if Darus has a girlfriend?" She said this all rather quickly, and after finishing she looked away.

"Awww, man, you got rid of it?" says Snarfoogle, entering the room once again

Procyon closes the closet door, then taps on it twice muttering "O-shay Umphreyhay." Immediately something begins knocking about inside. Procyon smiles at Snarfoogle and stands aside, gesturing at the door, "There you go then, Snarf, the Boggart's back inside. Er-celery to you."
Then Procyon turns to Gloria with wide eyes, her question only just registering. "Well, actually, most of the girls at Durmstrang are already pre-engaged (you know, their parents arranged it at birth so their line would stay pure) or are extremely--er--unpleasant. But it's funny you ask...just the other day Darus was asking about you..." Procyon's voice lowers to a barely-audible whisper. "Dare is planning to come here--he's got a silencer on his suped-up lightningrod...and he asked me to send him plans for the Slytherin girls' dorm...he keeps asking which is your room and if you sleep by the window...I had assumed you're not enemies? I think he's thinking of a moonlight flight...I'm expecting his raven anytime. Jerusha, my girlfriend is coming too, and several other Durmstrang guys who are planning a broomstick pajama raid on the Slytherin girls' dorm...we've got to keep it a complete secret. You know how things get out around here. I'd hate to be the Durmstrang fellow that pops his head in a girl's window and finds McGonagol--pajamas or no...If you want in on the fun, Dare's raven will be in the owlery tonight, and we really need that map...What d'you say?"

Grinning, Gloria hugged Procyon. "Wow, really? That's great! Oh, I can't wait!" She stepped back and clapped her hands together. Suddenly, a map appeared. She handed the map to Procyon and winked. "Here, you can send this to Durmstrang. Talk to ya later." With that, Gloria rushed off.
*
marvolo
Procyon grins, slyly rolls up the parchment and hides it in his robes. "Thanks, Gloria, this is all we need." He heads off to the Owlery.

**grins, and walks up to the Slytherin dorm** This'll be fun... she thinks, still in wolf form

Griselda Flumpgirdle waddled out of the co-ed sauna as fast as her legs could carry her, to the closet where she could think over her dilemma in privacy. She wrenched open the door and squeezed inside, when suddenly, the flattened ghost of Stinky the House elf rose from the dark recesses of the cupboard, and pointed a long, accusing finger at her. 'It wasn't me!' Griselda shrieked, 'I never killed anyone. It was...' She looked around desperately and fixed on the person standing behind her. '... it was her'. But as she turned away, there was a pop and the ghost turned into a...

Roz walks in laughing with someone in the hall and calling "'Bye!" All of a sudden she walks into the closet and starts. she looks around and sees......
No-one.
*
ananya
"Hello?"roz calls nervously. She has no idea that there is a boggart there as her fear of being alone or surrounded by false people is hard to spot in boggart form as she sees nothing and no-one. however she can see animals. So she does notice an owl, her own Thunder, flutter in.

Severely shaken by her encounter with the boggart-ghost-Stinky, and suddenly remembering that she is wearing nothing but a squashed-house-elf-encrusted bikini, Griselda Flumpgirdle edges away from the closet with her back to the wall.
*
marvolo
Having emptied the entire floor's chamber pots into one large slop bucket, Stinky the house-elf balances it precariously on top of his head as he stumbles down the corridor toward Humphrey's Closet. He spies a bikini-challenged witch backing down the hall toward him. "Aha!" he thinks, "That's the one that sat on me in the Coed Pool/Sauna. Luckily, I popped down to the kitchen just in time...too bad I left my bowl of chicken noodle soup in the lounger...maybe I'll just quietly tap her on the shoulder and let her know I haven't forgotten her..."
*
slugbuster
Suddenly, Griselda feels a hand tapping her on the shoulder. She spins round and shrieks with terror, as her eyes fall on Stinky.
Instinctively, she throws out a hand to ward the ghost off, and unfortunately tips the contents of his bucket all over his head.
Griselda sprints (surprisingly fast for a young lady of her massive girth) back to the co-ed sauna, where she can remove the evidence of her crime from her backside.

By the way, Marvolo, I once wrote an excruciatingly awful poem about a boggart called Humphrey.
Great minds think alike, or as my maths teacher used to write on our homework 'fools seldom differ'.

[ Yes, the fools. ;) ]
Stinky raises his arms and a huge orb of water appears over his head. It begins twirling like a great waterspout and touches down upon him, washing him clean and drawing up the slops. He points to a spot in the floor that opens up and the water and waste disappear down the hole, which then closes.
Stinky is clean but so angry he is steaming dry. He glares after Griselda. "That's twice," he squeaks, "twice she has befouled me. Now she will pay."
He stomps off angrily to the kitchen.
