Restless sleep. Again. Will I ever gain a normal sleep pattern? I lay on my bed, thinking about everything and anything. What did Dumbledore mean? How am I feeling about my two very hot professors? Why did life get complicated? Giving up on sleep, yet again, I made my way to the showers. Luckily, I didn't need a cold one.

"Did you get any sleep?"

"You know I didn't Katie," I responded exasperatedly.

"Well, take a potion or something."

I just nodded my head in acknowledgment, but I didn't respond. We walked ourselves down to the great hall. Already locating Jack and Ally at the Slytherin table, we headed over and sat down. Those two were as chipper as ever, which somehow managed to brighten my mood.

"Well good morning beautiful ladies."

With a small chuckle, Katie and I both responded with big grins, "Good morning Jack."

"So today's our first defense class. How do you think it'll go?"

"Honestly Ally, don't you ever think about anything other than class," Katie said with a loud sigh.

"I do, but this is the seventh teacher we've had! And THEY ALL SUCKED HIPPOGRIFF COCK!"

Everyone in earshot distance turned to look at us with eyebrows raised. Not that I could blame them, our own eyebrows were in our hairlines. Ally, who was normally so contained had just exploded in the great hall. This day would definitely be going down in our history.

"Relax, I'm sure he'll be great. Plus Soph here seems to have the hots for him. And so far he always comes to her rescue," Katie said wiggling her eyebrows.

"Oh come off it. So what, I have a crush on a professor. How can you blame me? Look at him. Do we judge Jack for crushing on Snape? No, didn't think so."

Jack had erupted with laughter and could barely get his words out between breaths, "yea-yea-yeah, except he's completely smi- hahaha smitten with you." Finally, he was able to breathe again, "and don't deny that your crush on him as well. I can see it. I know what goes on in those tutoring sessions and I am a mix of jealous and proud." To further his point, he patted me on the shoulder.

"Merlin, what I wouldn't give to be you right now," Katie complained.

"Believe me, it's not as great as it seems."

Breakfast ended and we all made our way up to the defense classroom. When we arrived, the classroom was open but Lupin wasn't there. All the desks had been moved aside and what looked like against wardrobe was in the center of the room. Everyone filed in and we stood crowded towards the sides. It was a good five minutes after class started before he waltzed through the doors.

"Good morning class, since it is the first class and the third years are going over boggarts. We will be reviewing and facing the boggart. I was made aware that your group never actually came face to face with one. So does everyone know the incantation to ward off a boggart?"

"Yes" came a chorus of answers.

"Excellent! Everyone form a line and don't forget that laughter help."

He backed up and we all formed ourselves into one line. With a flick of his wrist, the door opened, and out came the boggart. It was somehow different than what I was expecting. Small spiders became fireflies and scary dancing clowns became ballerinas. It went by in a breeze and next Jack was up.
