It'll be okay, Lindy, I promise. If it helps, from everything I've heard, Professor Dolohov is bending over backwards as hard as he can to make sure he doesn't scare anybody. I mean, it wouldn't do HIM a bit of good if he comes across mad like the Carrows so everyone goes scarpering off, frightened of his shadow, would it?
Remember what Dad says: stick the truth as much as you can, and you don't have to worry about being tripped over telling lies. He's gonna expect you to be nervous. It might even be good to admit it.
As for the boggart, same thing. Everyone else is going to be nervous, too, but YOU'VE got an advantage. You've actually faced one before.
I'm sorry that you might have to do both on the same day. That...well, as Parkinson would put it, that blows chunks.
