I'll get into trouble if I do anything myself, so here's what you need to do with the boggart;<br /><br />They like small, dark places. So get a wardrobe, drag it to a dark place, leave the door open, and shut the door when the boggart isn't looking. Easier if you've got magic, of course, because you can levitate the wardrobe or just get rid of the thing...<br /><br />Anyway. You might wanna wait a bit for the boggart to get into the wardrobe - we usually nick off and get something to eat - and then cast a locking charm on the wardrobe when you get back. If it doesn't make a lot of noise, the boggart's probably behind you.<br /><br />'Course, you're all Muggles and can't use magic, so you'll have to try and close the doors without a locking charm. Don't know how well that'll work out, but you can always laugh at it. Probably won't do much without Riddikulus, but laughing might stun it. Dunno, really. <s>Have to try it the next time Dad needs to get one out of the attic for work. Have Moony ready with his wand, and Padfoot and I can try it at the same time...</s><br /><br />Oh, yeah.<br /><br />Go in groups. Even wizards don't like going after a boggart by themselves, seeing as how they feed off of your fear. The bigger the group, the better. You might get some interesting results - we got the whole family to face a boggart once, and it turned into some weird Muggle invention. <br /><br />If you can't get a wardrobe, try a big desk. Or... something like the big cold box that has food in it. The boggart probably won't like it because of the light, though.<br /><br />I suppose if you Muggles <i>really</i> need help, I can do it for you, but if I get another letter from the Ministry about the Statute of Secrecy or underage magic, Mum's gonna go ballistic.<br /><br />And don't spend too long around the boggart. If anything I do will land me in Azkaban, it'll be letting Muggles go insane because they spent too long around a dark creature. urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:magical_hat:803 2007-07-14T13:51:04Z 2007-07-14T13:51:04Z ...So this place has a boggart problem, huh? Didn't anyone think of just using Riddikulus? Putting a wardrobe near it and leaving the door open? Buying anti-boggart charms to hang around the home? Getting the house-elves to take care of it?<br /><br />I bet even <i>Snape</i> could take on one of those. urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:magical_hat:746 2007-07-10T13:12:55Z 2007-07-10T13:12:55Z Bloody hell, that bastard Snape--<br /><br />---Oi, mate, where'd you go? Eh? Oi! Moony, Padfoot, Wormtail!<br /><br />...<b><i>EVANS</b></i>?<br /><br />This doesn't look like Hogwarts. Did Sirius shove me into the Room again? Bloody ponce, get here so I can cut your hair off, you girl!<br /><br />Can't believe Snivellius cast that. Stupid ugly slimy greasy git. Bloody Snape. Bloody Sirius. Bloody Malfoy.<br /><br />Bloody <i>tree</i>. <s><i>Don't worry mate, he won't find us up here! As long as we have the cloak, we'll be fine! It's not like he knows any curses or anything!</i></s><br /><br />I SMELL LIKE ROTTEN TOADS, PADFOOT. <b>ROTTEN. <u>TOADS</u>.</b><br /><br /><font size="1">cantkillSiriusneedhimcantkillSiriusneedhimhe'smyshieldforwhenEvansattackscantkillhim</font><br /><br />How'm I supposed to get Evans to realise she loves me if I stink and can't get outta this bloody place?
