Professor Potter’s boggart lesson was notorious for being one of his best, second only to the Patronus Charm. It was a good thing Defense Against the Dark Arts was a required course for all students, because had it been an elective, students would be dueling in the halls for a spot in Potter’s class. Fortunately, that first month had flown by. Ellie and James quickly fell into their normal routine of pranks and Quidditch practices, though their change in academic schedules limited their time together. Ellie had signed up for Care of Magical Creatures, Divination, and Ancient Runes, while James had taken up Care of Magical Creatures, Arithmancy, and Muggle Studies. Upon returning to Hogwarts, they shared the unfortunate realization that although they were both taking COMC, their classes were at different times. This left only Potions and Defense Against the Dark Arts as their joint classes.
