I really struggled with this one and it's taken me forever to write it. Hope it's okay.

Draco had no idea what form his boggart took and he’d rather not know. He was pleased he’d managed to get out of the DADA lesson that would have revealed it; letting everyone know what he feared the most was a really stupid idea. His father had taught him to never let his enemies know things they could use against him.
Of course, it would be great to find out what scared other people. Imagine how impressed his father would be if Draco found out what Harry Potter feared the most.
He frowned. What if Potter’s biggest fear were Dementors?

Hermione held out her hand. “Harry, I have to give it back to Professor McGonagall.”
He stared at Hermione, and then back at the tiny hourglass with its long gold chain nestled on his palm. They’d used the Time-Turner to save Sirius and Harry couldn’t help but wonder whether he could use it again. What if he went back and stopped Voldemort from killing his parents? Surely that was more important than the Ministry allowing Hermione to use it for extra lessons.
“Harry?”
How many times would he have to turn it, he wondered. How many hours in thirteen years?
