The Only Thing To Fear
Hugo should have remembered what was in the trunk when the professor asked him to help move it. It hadn't been that long since his third year.
When it fell and unlatched, he couldn't draw his wand fast enough.
Snape slithered from the trunk, a horrific grin cutting across his face. In either hand he held Mum and Rose by the hair, dragging their bodies behind him as he emerged. Their eyes were empty, their throats slashed. Just like Dad's had been.
"Riddikulus!" shouted Hugo.
The figures became dancing puppets and Hugo forced the boggart back in to the trunk.
