The Dementor

"So the boggart sitting in the darkness within has not yet assumed a form. He does not yet know what will frighten the person on the other side of the door. Nobody knows what a boggart looks like when he is alone, but when I let him out, he will immediately become whatever each of us most fears." Lupin was telling the students about the new creature it was going to teach them face in Defense Against Dark Arts class. I was seeing the movie for the millionth time but still I got the goose bumps when harry first time comes in front of the Bogart. I thought to myself what we happen if the Bogart stands in front of me, what would I see? There could be lot of possibilities but deep down inside my mind the thing which I feared most started taking shape, first I tried to ignore it but slowly that image started getting clear in my mind. It was nothing living thing but still I feared it most. Because it was the Chair in Dental Clinic.

The chair was nothing like the ordinary chair. It had different limbs like that of the Octopus which remains silent till the prey comes in its vicinity and then attacks without any clue. The torch which focuses the bright light not only in your mouth but also on your eyes makes you nervous the moment you seat on the chair. The dentist manipulates the levers to make you comfortable but you become more and more anxious. The instruments placed on the chair platform shines as if laughing on you. Then comes the dentist with the mask on his face and gloves in his hands. You do't need to open your mouth intentionally. Even the routine check up feels like you are going under major surgery. But if you are going there to take out your tooth then in Harry Potter terminalogy, I would say, you are surrounded by bunch of dementors and you don't even have the wand. The dentist approaches you with the injection, and your panick attack starts. He sooths you for a long time telling that it will be almost painless and the injection enters your mouth. Now each second feels like the minute. For a very long time nothing happens, then you think may be he injected us and thats why he said, 'almost painless' and you relax, in the next moment you can feel the neurons sending signals all over your body and your brain screaming, 'What the f...'. The same procedure repeats one or two times and then slowly the anasthetia works. The worst part is still yet to come.

Now the dentist comes with some sophisticated version of Chisel and clutchers which you mostly see in the automobile repairy shops. He puts them inside the mouth as usual and then you started doubting on the Anasthetia dose. You curse the dentist sor waiting so long...may the anasthetia had wiped out. You feel the sweat flowing on your head. The dentist takes his position and all you could mumble is Riddikulus.....
