(Y'alllllll I realized I forgot to do the Boggart BEFORE Hogsmeade like it's supposed to be!!! So I'm gonna do that here than continue where we left off.)
We all gather into the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom with Professor Lupin there.
We all stare at the tall wardrobe standing there.
"Intriguing, yes? Would anyonelike to venture a guess as to what's inside?" Professor Lupin asked.
"That's a Boggart that is." Seamus whispers.
"Very good, Mr. Finnigan. Can anyone tell us what a Boggart looks like?"
"No one knows," Hermione answers.
I see Ron jump and whisper to me and Harry "When'd she get here?"
I shrug.
"Boggarts are shape-shifters.They take the shape of whatevera particular person fears most.That's what makes it so --" Hermione continues.
"Terrifying, yes. Luckily, a verysimple charm exists to repel aBoggart. Let's practice it now,shall we? Without wands,please... Riddikulus!" professor Lupin says.
"Riddikulus!" We all repeat.
"This class is ridiculous," Draco mutters.
I walk over to him.
"Come on Draco, give it a chance. With the way the last Defense Against the Dark Arts teachers were, we really need someone decent. Oh and did you eat the cookies?" I say.
"Uh.." Draco hesitates.
Crabbe and Goyle snicker.
"What is it?" I ask.
"He ate them ALL." Crabbe said.
"Quite enjoyed them I'd say," Goyle says.
Draco glares at them.
"Oh well that's good. I'm always here to help you out you know. I know we aren't exactly friends, but we could be," I say.
Draco just stays silent.
"Well, see you then," I say. "Ooh Crabbe, Goyle, you are looking on point today,"
"Really?" Crabbe asks.
"Of course! Anyways. Talk to you guys later."
I walk back over next to Hermione
"Good. So much for the easy part.You see, the incantation aloneis not enough. What reallyfinishes a Boggart off is...laughter. You need to force it to assume a shape you find truly amusing. Neville, come up here,will you?" Professor Lupin says.
Everyone moves out of the way of Neville. He looks around and behind him.
"You got this Nev!" I encouraged.
He nervously nods, then walks up.
"What would you say is the thing that frightens you most?" Professor Lupin asks.
Neville mutters something inaudible.
"Didn't catch that, Neville, sorry," Professor Lupin says.
"Professor Snape."
Everyone laughs, even Harry, Ron, and Hermione. I lightly swat Harry's shoulder.
"What?" He asks.
"It's rude to make fun. He's clearly very scared of him." I say.
"No no. It's all joking. He's our friend so we're just teasing him. We're not making fun," Harry says.
"Oh ok. You promise?" I ask.
