Boggarts love the dark places. The space between walls, the forgotten trunks and the bottom draws of dusty desks. The cupboards are a particular favourite for many.
A boggart moves into No. 4 Privet Drive’s Cupboard Under the Stairs, only to find it already occupied by a little 5-year-old Harry Potter.
8 years later, Professor Remus Lupin gets distracted, allowing the now 13-year-old Harry Potter to take his turn.
Much to the shock of Remus Lupin, it does not turn into Voldemort.
It does not turn into a Dementor.
It does not turn into Uncle Vernon or Aunt Petunia. Nor any corpses of the people he loves.
It does not turn into a cruel and power-hungry version of himself nor a Tom Riddle.
It does not turn into any of his friends turning their backs on him and calling him freak.
It does not turn into Fluffy or Aragog or the Basilisk.
Instead, the boggart does…
Nothing.
…
Harry has not been afraid of boggarts since he was 5 years old and after all, things that hid and live in the dark must look out for each other.
…
Harry Potter spent a long time hiding in the dark.
MY HEART HOW DARE YOU BUT I ALSO LOVE THIS AND AM SAVING IT AS MY PERSONAL HC
Imagine: Harry Potter Has No Boggart.
