When the 141 moved between bases, it wasn't unusual for the leaving team to have some parting remarks about the building.

"Water pressure is shit and the heating barely works."

"Doors are creaky, and slam if you aren't careful."

"The break room fridge doesn't work, don't use it."

However, when they arrive at this new base, it is already empty with a note left on the table. "Do NOT forget to feed the Boggart!"

Underneath that was a list of food. Honey and crackers, milk and cookies, cheese and grapes, or jam and bread crusts. Price read the note twice before folding it and tucking it into his pocket. It wasn't the best prank a previous team tried to play on them, but a memorable one. He couldn't wait to show the note to Nik.

That night, hell broke loose.

Simon woke up to his sheets thrown off, his mask gone, and his belongings tossed around. Kyle woke up almost tied in his sheets, thrashing his way free only to slip on a puddle on his floor. Johnny's room had also been rummaged through, and his sketchbook was gone, and John's office had been trashed.

"What the fuck!?" John exclaims when he sees the mess in his office the next day, ready to tear his subordinates a new asshole until he sees their rooms.

"That note... I don't think it was a joke, Sir." Kyle offers as he tries to help tidy up the office. "What is a Boggart?" Price smooth a hand over his face in annoyance and shrugs, ready to tell Kyle that no such thing existed when he hears Simon shouting from the kitchen.

John gets there first, shocked to see his most stoic soldier standing on a kitchen chair. Just two feet away from him way a two foot tall creature screaming with all of its might.

"HOW DARE YOU EAT WHEN I'M SO HUNRGY!! I KEPT THE BASE CLEAN FOR YOU DIDN'T I!? I DID MY JOB, NOW WHERE IS MY FOOD!!" Kyle remembers what he read on the note yesterday, rushing to the pantry and grabbing a bottle of honey and a pack of crackers.

"Here!! Here's your food!!" Kyle insists, almost throwing the items at your shrieking form.

"YOU THINK YOU CAN JUST COME IN HERE AND THROW SOME FOOD AT ME AT THAT WILL MAKE IT BETTER!? HOW DARE YOU -" Your grubby fingers make quick work of opening the crackers and honey. "I'LL TELL YOU WHAT, I'LL DESTROY YOU ALL - Oh, this honey is organic."

The team watches in wide-eyed shock and intrigue as you smother a cracker in honey and happily stuff it into your mouth. They watch as your once green and grey skin slowly calms down to a more human skin tone, and your body almost deflates, so you seem even shorter. You eat the entire sleeve of crackers digging your little hands into the honey bottle to get every last drop.

"Oh, wow! That was tasty!" You grunt happily, licking your fingers clean as you pat your stomach.

"What the fuck are you?" Johnny blurts out, making you huff and vanish! A burst of panic falls out of the room until you reappear, opening a drawer and pulling out a small book.

"I'm a Boggart!! I can keep things around here clean and organized, keep charms around so nothing malicious can enter, and can refresh the fairy circle around base!" You explain, looking over at Simon, who still refused to come down from the chair.

"Why are you all so shocked!? The other team left a note!!"

unsure if its because i love drama, but i feel like we need so much more boggart scenes in fics, ESPECIALLY tomarry ones

scenes where “mysterious transfer student” harry is forced to face off against his fears in front of the entire class, which knows nothing about him. they all watch in total shock when his number one fear is represented in the dead bodies of hundreds, some even reaching towards him, his name the last thing on their tongues before they fall to the ground.

scenes where “childhood best friend” harry is forced to watch tom die over and over, leaving him in their (shared) cold room at the orphanage. or, a version of tom that pushed him to the side for the “better, smarter, more noble” wizards and witches.

scenes where “angry, aggressive” harry steps in front of the wardrobe, face set in determination but fists shaking. harry’s lip bursts in a thin stream of blood from how hard he bites it when he sees a blinding glow of green light and the blood curdling scream of a woman crying his name fills the room.

alternatively, we need a LOT more tom boggart scenes!!!

in which tom’s boggart shows itself in the form of his own tombstone. the class murmurs understandingly, but all fail to notice just how white tom’s face has become, how his brow is permanently furrowed for the rest of the night, and how even after cursing the boggart away, his wand-hand shakes.

in which tom sees the body of harry, bleeding out from one too many lashings and beatings. glasses shattered on the floor and his green eyes dimmed as light leaves them. the absolutely gut-wrenching feeling watching as harry latches onto the arm of another man, leaving tom behind without a single glance.

in which tom sees the battered body of his mother and the cold nature of his father. or, who he guesses them to look like. faces that become a tad too blurry, to becoming too vivid, to too abnormal, tom watches their palpable disappointment and fear of their son with a blank face. pay no mind to how his eyes blur with tears or how the grinding of his jaw is almost audible through the berating of his “parents”.

and don’t get me started on the very public aftermaths.

you know. boggart fics.

Regulus having to face a boggart in Defense Against The Dark Arts, the boggart turns into Sirius. Nobody quiet realizes why it’s an odd image until they notice it and then it’s undeniable, Sirius is full fledged Sirius The Black Family Heir, something he hasn’t been since running away to James’. His hair is cropped near his scalp in a perfect slick back style, not a single hair loose, he is clad in Slytherin garb, his uniform without wrinkles or tilts. The worst part though, is the snake and skull tattoo on his arm which looks so out of place compared to his usual paw print tattoo that used to lay in the same spot. It’s undeniable what the mark is, it’s the Dark Mark, the one that shows just how allianced individuals are to Lord Voldemort.

Sirius looks right at Regulus now, the boy is shaking and still all at once, his fingers twitching like leafs in wind. The elder brother steps closer until he’s in Regulus’ space. He leans down, a sick smile on his sunken face. “One of us had to stay, yeah?”

Because that’s what Regulus did do in this lifetime. He stayed so Sirius could leave. He tore every shred of his brother’s hope in him being a good person to shreds until there was nothing left, he spit on Sirius’ love and turned it into poison on his toungue. Some of the less intelligent and more loved students didn’t quite understand but some, especially Lily Evans and Remus Lupin, did.

Regulus shot off the spell, wordlessly and wandlessly as he had dropped the wooden stick like it was a dead weight. The image of Sirius turned into something new, he had dog ears and a tail, he was panting like a dog and barking for people’s enjoyment. Regulus didn’t allow the chance for himself to enjoy it, he tucked his metaphorical tail and ran, missing how Sirius The Dog-Boy whines at his departing figure and barely allows the time to shout of a threat at Evans and Lupin, shall they tell Sirius he’ll drop them both in the Great Lake covered in clam meat as an afternoon snack for the mermaids.

He leaves the scene and the teacher doesn’t stop him nor does he think he even noticed but Lily grabs his wand and races after him, shooting a packed-full look at Remus who also leaves class but in the opposite direction, his path leads him to the Herbology greenhouse where James and Sirius currently reside while Lily’s path follows Regulus’ foot trail.

I love Remus Lupin.

I also love Sirius Black, James Potter, Harry Potter, Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley

The word "boogeyman" has come a long way, and at some point divided off etymologically into both "Bugbear" and "Boggart", which is like a very spicy "Brownie".

Bugbears and Brownies look so different now, but they came from the same boogey woogie ancestor.

Neat.
