Hey guys! Author back.
Time for some more flirting with Hermione and our first trip to Hogsmeade. So this should be fun.
Just a bit of a warning, this might be the last chapter for a few days because chapter 23 is going to be long and I don't have much time to write it. It's tech week for my musical, so things are a little crowded.
So, recap.
Last time, we got to Hogwarts and had our first few classes. Hermione seemed to pop out of no where in the first one. We went to Hagrid's first lesson and saw Harry ride Buckbeak, which would be really cool. Then we learned Sirius Black has been sighted in a town nearby.
That about sums it up. So, without further adieu let's get to it!

Your POV...
A few more weeks pass and we are in our Defense Against the Dark Arts class. Again, Hermione isn't here, and I will swear to that this time. Again, I think she has a different class. There is a wardrobe in front of us and it shakes.
"Would anyone like to venture a guess as to what's inside?" Professor Lupin asks.
"That's a Boggert." A student answers.
"Very good Mr. Thomas. Now, can anyone tell me what a Boggert, looks like?"
"No one knows." I hear from next to me.
I turn to see Hermione standing there. I look back to the other two and ask, "When did she get here?"
They shrug and Hermione continues, "A Boggerts are shape shifters. It takes the shape of whatever the person fears the most. That's what makes them so terrifying."
"Yes, very good." Professor Lupin says. "Luckily, a very simple charm exists to repel a Boggert" The wardrobe shakes again. "Let's practice it now. Without wands once. Now, repeat after me. Riddikulus."
We all repeat the spell.
"Very good. Once more. Very clearly. Riddikulus."
We repeat it again.
"Well, very good. So much for the easy part. You see, the incantation alone isn't enough. What really finishes a Boggert is laughter. You need to force it to assume a shape you find truly amusing. Let me explain." He looks into the crowd and says, "Neville, would you join me please?"
Neville looks around then back to Professor Lupin.
"Come on, don't be shy. Come on."
Neville walks up to him as he says, "Hello. Now Neville, what frightens you most of all?"
Neville mutters something.
"Sorry?"
"Professor Snape." Neville says louder.
We laugh a little.
"Professor Snape. Yes. Frightens all. And I believe you live with your grandmother?"
"Yes. But I don't want that Boggert to turn into her either." Neville says, as we all chuckle again.
"No." Professor Lupin looks at the wardrobe and back to Neville. "It won't. I want you to picture her clothes, only her clothes, very clearly in your mind."
Neville starts to explain but Lupin interrupts him.
"We don't need to hear it. As long as you see it, we'll see it. Now, when I open the wardrobe, here's what I want you to do."
