We all went into the Defense Against the Dark Arts room. There was a big wardrobe and all the tables were moved.
Lupin explained to us about boggerts and that we were going to witness them.
"Now repeat after me; ridiculous," Lupin said.
"This class is ridiculous," Draco said. His arm was in a fake sling from his fake injury from Hagrid's class.
I turned into a dog and growled at Draco. His face went white and he started paying attention. I turned back to human and laughed.
Then I caught Lupin's eye. I knew why. I couldn't see what my boggert was. I couldn't participate in the class today. It was because we both knew what my boggert was.
Neville went first. He made Snape wear his grandmother's clothes! I thought it was hilarious.
A lot of people went. Then Harry came. The boggert was a Dementor. Lupin jumped in front of it. I already knew what was going to happen. The dementor turned into a full moon. I gasped. People looked at me.
     I stayed with Lupin after class. He seemed a little worried.
     "Don't worry. People were more interested in my gasp than your boggert," I exclaimed.
     "Don't worry about that. It's none of your concern," Remus sadly said.
     I could tell that he was already regretting taking the job as a teacher. I felt so bad. Remus was a nice guy. He didn't deserve what he got.
