The Noble House Black.

Part 4

Leo's Pov, 

My arm is fine the wound was well deep and it will scar but hey I got a cool scar out of it! Malfoy is laying it on thick and Hagrid hasn't been fired but we haven't heard the last of this. 

"He's been sighted!" Semus yells as he runs over with the Daily Prophet making a frown appear on my face. "Who?" Ron asks and I wish he never did.... of course it had to be him. Merlin, can't we have a nice and quiet year! 

"Sirius Black!" 

"Dufftown? That's not far from here." Hermione says and I slam my book closed as I get up while the nervous voice of Neville now speaks. "You don't think he'd come to Hogwarts, do you?" 

"With dementors at every entrance?"

"Dementors? He slipped past them once. Who's to say he won't do it again?" Seumus says as I start to walks or more like march away. 

"That's right. Black could be anywhere. It's like trying to catch smoke. Like trying to catch smoke with your bare hands." 

Hermione's Pov, 

"Bloody fools did you have to do that now!" Daphne almost yells as Leo is out of the Great Hall now making a sigh leave my lips. "W-what, why can't we talk about the bloody murderer!" Ron defends and she sends a glare towards the red haired boy. 

"Because if you had been paying attention you would notice that your so-called friend leaves every time when the name Sirius Black is said! Merlin Weasley are you really that daft?!" She says before walking away with a shake of her head. 

"She's right.... we should have thought about Leo." I softly say as my eyes wander towards the large open doors op the Great Hall. 

...................................................................

Leo's Pov. 

Rolling my eyes as I see the man walk around my eyes fall upon the cabinet that's shaking around, there's a bloody bogart in there. 

"Intriguing, isn't it? Would anyone like to venture a guess......as to what is inside?" Lupin asks and Dean is the one to anwser. "That's a boggart, that is."

"Very good, Mr. Thomas. Now, can anybody tell me what a boggart looks like?" He asks and I can't stop the words from leaving my lips. "No one knows. " I say with a simply shrug before Hermione who only now got into the room follows up to much of Ron's supirse. 

"They take the shape of whatever a person fears the most. That's what makes them so--"

"So terrifying, yes, yes, yes....Luckily, a very simple charm exists to repel a boggart. Let's practice it now. Without wands, please. After me. Riddikulus!"  Lupin says as he finishes the girl's words making the other all say. "Riddikulus." 

"Very good. A little louder and very clear." He says and the others do as asked while I puff my cheeks. "Very good. So much for the easy part. You see, the incantation alone is not enough. What really finishes a boggart is laughter. You need to force it to assume a shape you find truly amusing. Let me explain. Neville, would you join me, please? Come on, don't be shy. Come on. Come on. Hello. Neville, what frightens you most of all?" Lupin says making the shy and nervous as ever Neville walk towards the teacher while he rather would be swallowed by the ground I think. .

"Sorry?" Lupin asks as the boy mumbled something. "Professor Snape." Neville says and it makes many laugh including a small chuckle that leaves my lips, Severus can well be Severus. "Professor Snape. Yes, frightens all. You live with your grandmother." Lupin says and oke? 

"l don't want it to turn into her, either."

"No......it won't. I want you to picture her clothes. Only her clothes, very clearly, in your mind." Lupin says and Neville begins to list it up.  "She carries a red handbag--"
