Delia's POV-
We had free time and we walked to our table in the Great Hall and were doing our homework when I heard Pansy asked Draco, "Does it hurt terribly Draco?"
I looked up and rolled my eyes then looked back down, "It comes and it goes," Malfoy said, "still, I consider myself lucky, Madam Pomfrey said another minute and I could've lost my arm, I can't do my homework for weeks."
"Listen to the idiot," Ron said, "he's really laying it on thick isn't he?" "At least Hagrid didn't get fired," Harry said. "I hear Draco's father's furious," I said. "We haven't heard the end of this," Hermione said.
"He's been sighted! He's been sighted," Seamus yelled running over to us and laying down the Daily Prophet.
"Who?" Ron asked. "Sirius Black," Seamus said. I moved the newspaper over some, "Dufftown?" Me and Hermione said. "That's not far from here," she said.
"You don't think he'd come to Hogwarts, do you?" Neville asked. "With dementors at every entrance?" Someone asked.
"Dementors?" Seamus said, "he's already slipped past them once, who's to say he won't do it again." "That's right," some boy said, "Black could be anywhere it's like trying to catch smoke, like trying to catch it with your bare hands."
I looked at the picture on the newspaper of Sirius and I was scared for Harry, more than scared actually, I was frightened for him.

Harry's POV-
Hermione and Delia ran off again, so me and Ron walked to Defense Against the Dark Arts. When we walked in the desk were moved to the side and a moving cabinet was in the middle of the classroom.
"Intriguing isn't it?" Lupin asked, "Would anyone venture a guess as to what is inside." "That's a boggart, that is," Dean said.
"Very good Mr. Thomas," Lupin said, "Now can anybody tell me what a boggart looks like?" "No one knows," Delia and Hermione said from beside us.
"When did they get here?" Ron asked. "Boggart's are shape shifters," Delia said. "They take the form of what ever a person fears the most," Hermione said. "That's what makes them so....."
"Terrifying, yes, yes, yes," Lupin said, "Luckily, a very simple charm exists, to repel a boggart." The cabinet moved again and I'm suprised it hasn't fell over, "Let's practice it know without wands please," he said, "After me: Riddikulus."
"Riddikulus," we said. "Very good," he said, "a little louder and very clear listen: Riddikulus." "Riddikulus," we said, but louder.
"Very good," Lupin said, "so much for the easy part, you see the incantantion alone is not enough, what really finishes a boggart is laughter, you need to force it to assume a shape you find most amusing, let me explain, Neville would you join me please?"
Neville looked around, "Come on, don't be shy," Lupin said. Delia gave him a little push and he slowly walked up.
"Hello, Neville, what frightens you the most of all?" Lupin asked. Neville mumbled something, "Sorry?" "Professor Snape," Neville said.
Everyone laughed and Professor Lupin smiled, "Professor Snape, yes, he frightens all." "I believe you live with your grandmother."
"I don't want it to turn into her either," Neville said. "No," Lupin said looking at the cabinet which moved again, "It won't, I want you to picture her clothes, only her clothes, very clearly in your mind."
"She carries a red handbag," Neville said. "We don't need to hear," Lupin said, "as long as you see it, we'll see it, now when I open that wardrobe here's what I want you to do, excuse me."
He walked over and whispered something in Neville's ear, "Can you do that?" Lupin asked. Neville nodded his head, "Yes, wand at the ready," Lupin said and they took their wands out, "One, Two, Three."
Professor Lupin waved his wand and the door unlocked and he moved behind Neville. The door opened and Professor Snape came out, "Think, Neville, think." Snape walked towards us, "Riddikulus," Neville said and Snape suddenly had a hat on with a vulture, was wearing a green dress and had a red handbag.
We all laughed, "Wonderful, Neville, wonderful, incredible okay to the back Neville, everyone form a line." Everyone was moving around and Delia walked over to Professor Lupin.

Delia's POV-
"Everyone form a line,"Remus said. I walked over to him, "Please don't make me do this," I said, "you know my fear and I don't want the whole school to know."
He looked at me then nodded his head. I smiled and stood beside him. They moved some more, "I want everyone to picture the thing you fear the most," Remus said, "then turn it into something funny."
He took the record spindle and sat it down on a record and music started playing, "Next! Ron." Ron walked up and Snape changed into a big spider.
Ron looked absoultly terrified, but he took out his wand, "Riddikulus." On all the spiders legs skates formed and the spider kept on falling down.
"You see? Very good, very good," Remus said, "marvelous absoultly, very, very enjoyable! Parvati! Next!" She stepped forward and the spider turned into a huge snake.
"Keep your nerve, steady," Remus said. "Riddikulus," she said and the snake turned into a clown in a box. "And next! Step up, step up."
Harry walked forward and the clown moved up and down when it suddenly turned into a dementor, I ran over and got in front of him because I didn't want him to pass out again and Malfoy make more fun of him.
I saw it changing and I saw the house colors when Remus stood in front of me, "Here!" he said and before my fear could transform, it changed into Remus' fear, the moon.
"Riddikulus," he said and the moon turned into a ballon and flew around. I ran over and opened the cabinet door and it flew in as I slammed it shut.
"Right, sorry about that, that's enough for today," he said, "collect your books from the back, class dismissed."
Everyone moaned, "Sorry." I looked at Harry and saw him staring at the cabinet, "Harry are you alright?" I asked.
He nodded his head and walked to the back and grabbed his stuff. "Dumbledore will be helping you tonight," Remus said. "Do you want me to come with you tonight?" I said remembering it was a full moon, "Mum told me the spell she used when you changed in front of her when you guys were still in school."
"No absoulty not," he said in a stern voice, "it's to dangerous with the dementors out there, and Sirius being who knows where."
I nodded my head, "meet Dumbledore in his office once everyone leaves for Hogsmeade," he said, "now go so your not late."
I nodded my head and grabbed my stuff and walked out and saw Hermione, Ron and Harry waiting for me.
"Well that was an interesting lesson," Hermione said and I nodded my head, "Hey Delia what was your fear?" Ron asked.
"Uh nothing," I said then walked on so I could go see McGonagall. "Miss Diggory do you need something?" She asked.
"Here's my Hogsmeade form I'm not going this time," I said and handed it to her, "I have homework I need to finish."
She nodded her head and I walked out and to the common room and sat down. I sighed and grabbed my homework and books from my bag and sat them on the table and started on the homework.
