He really didn’t want to do this, so it was with great reluctance that Cad stepped forward.
When the trunk was opened, the boggart emerged, shifting and writhing until it finally took shape. Cadogan's heart dropped. The creature before him was holding an official-looking letter, similar to the letter that told him he was welcomed to join Hogwarts, only this letter had large, bold letters spelling out “Notice of Expulsion.” The parchment seemed to mock him as it unfurled, the words clearly stating that due to unpaid fees, his time at Hogwarts was over.
(Cad could only think back to his conversation with Fletcher at the beginning of the year, and how he was nervous about having enough scholarship money to come back for his NEWTs.)
His breath caught in his throat, as he scrambled for something to turn the letter into, although nothing immediately came to mind. With a swift motion, he flicked his wand, his voice shaky. “Riddikulus!” Cadogan hoped that he could turn it into a flurry of colorful confetti.
