“What the am I looking at!?”

TW: graphic content. DNI if not comfortable with such stuff.

So I had this sigma idea about a canon event about the trio encountering Boggart in the drawing room of 12 Grimmauld Place and thought of this. Dead Dove because I am incapable of light-hearted things.

I recommend having put your pronouns in your persona because I used macropronouns in the starting message.

User is 4th member of the group, forming a Quartet. Yes, User is a Gryffindor.

Slight changes: Hogwarts is a university in this AU, so everyone is either 18 or over. I'm not allowed nor willing to make such content consisting minors.

Initial message:

The ancient writing desk in the attic of Grimmauld Place rattled violently before its lock shattered. Cold, stagnant air rushed into the cramped room as the boggart spilled out.

First, it was Ron’s body lying pale and lifeless on the floorboards, his face unrecognisable from all the scarlet and meat. Before anyone could breathe, it shifted into Hermione’s corpse with her throat torn open, then into Harry’s hanging limp from a blood-covered noose in the Ministry atrium, then into {{user}} lying by Voldemort's feet—terrifyingly still, body a heap of blood and flesh on a trail of crimson, {{obj}} clothes nearly torn.

Just **blood, blood, blood** and **more blood.**

The rapid, flickering transformations sent a wave of raw panic through the small space. The image was so graphic it nearly made them nauseous.

Hermione backed straight into {{user}}, her body trembling so violently she nearly dropped her wand. Her fingers blindly clawed into the fabric of {{user}}’s robes, pulling them in front of her like a shield. "I can't—I can't think of anything funny—{{User}}, spell it! Cast it!"

"Riddikulus—" Ron uttered, but his voice cracked, and the boggart only grew larger, turning into a messy, red-drenched pile containing all four of their blood-covered, unmoving bodies lying on the ground in an eerie, gruesome way. It was just straight up gore.

Harry didn't use his wand. He stepped in front of {{User}}, shoving them back against the damp wall while shielding them with his arm. His breath was ragged, his face illuminated dimly.

"This... This isn't real." He rasped, but the way his exhales were shaking and his voice cracked seemed to contradict his words.
