Nick stood in front of the Boggart. Soon it turns into the things he is afraid of the most.
Besides Orion, many students too were interested about his fear. Nick is quite popular in Hogwarts in his own right. If one has to say it, his popularity is quite similar to what Tom's was back when he was in the Hogwarts. Voldemort was quite a model student back then, though much of it was acting but his excellence and genius were all true.
And the current Nick resembles him the most. This was the first reason why Dumbledore was so cautious of the boy. Shame that there was something which was stopping him from either attacking the boy or removing him from the school.
Thus he is keeping the boy in Hogwarts where he at least can observe the boy to make sure he doesn't do something extreme.
So its safe to say that if there is one student who rank third in the popularity ranking after Orion and Rose then it has to be Nick.
So everyone was interested in knowing what that all-year stoic-looking almost perfect guy was afraid of.
Soon the Boggart turn into the shape of a human. Orion seeing this narrowed his eyes, he knew that figure.
A woman in her 30s, but seeing that the woman was holding a stick, which usually in the wizarding world is a wand, it safe to say that she is a witch, meaning rather than being in her 30s she has to be in her later 40s or even 50s.
She had messy curly hair and dark circles under her eyes. She even after being quite old was looking pretty with slight makeup on her face, though it's possible that it's her natural appearance. And soft pink lipstick was applied on her lips. Also wearing long black clothes.
'I know who this person is...
[Bellatrix Lestrange] Merlin completed the sentence.
Orion could tell that she was Bellatrix because he saw her picture in the Black Manor.
But what he didn't understand is why Nick knew her or more importantly why he was afraid of her. But just then suddenly a strange theory was planted on Orion's head.
'Could it be that Nick is her son and James Potter was putting his thing where he shouldn't have...' Orion thought and a great amount of gossip material started to generate in his mind. But with powerful will he suppresses all of his thoughts and observes what will happen.
Nick was stunned when he saw the woman in front of him. There was a trance of murderous intent in his face, the usual stoic face was now crunching up into something dangerous. He wasn't the only person who was making his face though, there was also Neville.
Neville's parents were tortured by Bellatrix before, if there is one person who he wanted to kill more than anything in this world then it has to be her. But unfortunately for him, neither did he right now have the power and resolve to do it nor the woman in front of her was the culprit he was looking for.
Poor Boggart didn't know that he was targeted by two crazy boys ready to rip him apart.
RIP BOGGART***
....
Through the facial features, it was apparent that whatever Bellatrix did to Nick was not pretty, but there was no fear in that dangerous-looking face of Nick, if there was anything then it was anger and killing intent.
But soon Nick's face collapsed when Bellatrix suddenly raised her wand and he saw her target.
It was the girl standing behind her in the line.
Hermione.
Now there was the fear on his face that Orion was looking for. But this further confuses Orion. That is like doing a complete 180, he went from being Voldemort to being Neville in a second.
Only two people knew why Nick was so afraid right now. It was none other than Nick and Hermione who was standing behind him.
Hermione seeing Nick completely stunned was about to attack the Boggart but that was when Nick took out his wand and shouted.
"Riddikulus"
And on the next second the green light of the death curse in Bellatrix's wand short and turns into party poppers while the women herself come out wearing clown clothes.
Everyone laughed at this but three people remained silent. They were Nick, Hermione and Orion.
Nick and Hermione for natural reasons while Orion suddenly remembers another crazy woman from fiction.
Herley Quinn.
Now he suddenly was looking at a combination of both Bellatrix and Harley Quinn which gave him chills.

After Nick was Hermione's turn and in her turn, the Boggart turned into herself, while she was bloodied all over like he was close to death.
Seeing this many felt that she might be afraid of death or blood but Nick knew better.
Orion too observed, although he had no insight or previous knowledge about this matter like Nick, Orion did observe that it was not Hermione's own blood. There was no wound on her and second she was clearly alive.
So there is a possibility that she is afraid of Blood but that too didn't settle well with Orion seeing how Hermione looked more gloomy when it was represented by the Boggart than being completely grossed out and panicked by having blood all over her.
"Riddikulus" Hermione said and soon the blood all over her copy created by Boggart turned into beatiful patterns and she who was wearing a dark cloak ended up wearing a beautiful flock.
Orion kept both the incident in his mind. There is sure something hidden in this which he was unaware of.
.
.
.
Soon it was both Daphne's and Rose's turn. Daphne saw her death mother's body while Rose saw herself being surrounded by multiple giant spiders.
Strange that she is more afraid of spiders than a freaking dark lord.
But soon it was Orion's turn. Once again just like Nick, everyone was looking at this. There was a glint in their eyes. This was after all really good blackmail material for all of them.
[What do you think you will see ?]
'hmm Maybe a truck'
[huh why?]
'You won't understand'
Orion stood in front of the Boggart and soon it changed its shape.
Slowly the light-filled room was darkened. It was like the light itself was sinking out of the room as someone dimmed them.
Darkness started to fill the entire room. Orion who had a confident face right now suddenly froze.
He felt this feeling before. This ...
A chill appeared in the entire room, some even thought that it was a Dementor but that wasn't the case at all, Lupin knew that a Dementor couldn't have this kind of presence.
A suffocating feeling spread through the entire place as the students were excited to see what Orion a person who killed a troll with just a stick, as he couldn't use magic so the wand was nothing more than a stick, so the boy pretty much kill a troll with bare hands.
They really wanted to know what Orion feared the most. But they don't realize that what they will see makes them unlock a new fear in their heart.
A towering figure started to appear in the darkness, as eerie aura spread all around the room.
Orion was frozen, Merlin had wide eyes, and even Nick was stunned after seeing the familiar figure in front of him and he stuttered.
