Harry Potter: Harry Slytherin 3

Section 4 (new)

The next day lupin taught the students about boggarts. "Anyone know what a boggart looks like?" He asks.

"That's not possible." Hermione says having appeared out of thin air. "Boggarts take the form of whatever a person fears most."

"Excellent. Ten points to gryffindor." Lupin says.

"did you see her come in?" ron mumbles to neville.

Everyone is asked to picture something funny when it is their turn to face the boggart, then join everyone in laughing.

The line is formed and the first few students aren't sure what to do. Neville dressed up Snape in his grandma's funny clothes which was a riot for all the students.

Ron was afraid of spiders and Hermione was scared of getting a failed exam. In the line people started to shove trying to get through faster. Draco was pushed past Harry because of the shoving and when he looked up the monster became his father.

Draco was paralyzed in fear.

The boggart looking like Lucius Malfoy held up his wand.

Draco fumbles for his wand, but dropped it.

Harry moves in front of draco. The monster turns into a dementor. At that point lupin gets in front of them. It changes again this time taking form of a moon in some clouds. He turns it into a balloon and it flies into the closet from whence it had came."

"I think that's enough for today." Lupin says turning to the class. "I want a report on boggarts due next class. In your report mention your fear and how to make it funny.

The students who hadn't gotten to take a turn yet are disappointed but they will do their report.

Lupin turns to harry. "Dementors? I was expecting Voldemort."

Harry frowns. "I thought about him too but then I thought about being attacked on the train. Dementors are a heck of a lot scarier than the guy I faced my first and second year."

"First and second year?" Lupin questions.

"Voldemort attacked me both years." Harry explains. "First as a parasite on the back of the professors head, and then in the chamber of secrets last year when tom riddle set a basilisk on me."

"He slayed it with the sword of gryffindor though." Draco says.

Lupin nods. "Well... that is something." He looks at malfoy. "was that your dad."

Draco blushes. "Was it obvious?"

Lupin nods. "What was that all about? If I may ask?"

Draco frowns glancing at the cabinet. "There are plenty of things that should scare me but nothing scares me more then my father's disapproval."

Harry shivers a little. "I can't imagine what that would be like."

"Harry, I wonder if I might have a word with mister malfoy... privately." Lupin asks.

Harry nods and leaves the classroom.

Draco glances at lupin. "I had a feeling from the moment we met that you know something."

"I would more say strongly speculated." Lupin replies. He walks over to draco. "I was very much expecting you and Harry both to be most afraid of the same thing."

"You mean vold... vol... you know who?" Draco says unable to say the name fully aloud.

Lupin nods. "Yes." He chuckles a bit. "Your father and harry's were so different it's hard to imagine the two of you as friends."
