'I swear we have Potions.' Harry sighed. 

'No, we have Charms next you silly.' Hermione smiled.

You sighed.

'We have DADA. You're both wrong.'

Ron laughed.

'We have DADA. I know the schedule.' Ron smiled. 

You walked towards the classes and walked in, finding your classmates. Hermione walked straight on, not entering the classroom. Draco and his idiots were standing against the wall. He shot you a look while reposting the arm buckbeak attacked. You ignored him and stood with the rest. They were all staring at a closet. It was moving.

'Intriguing, isn't it?' Lupin said while walking in. 'That's for you to guess what's inside.'

'That's a boggart.' You spoke.

Harry and Ron looked at you.

'Very good miss Y/L.' Lupin spoke.

The closet moved a bit and everyone stepped back.

'Now, can anyone tell me what a Boggart looks like?' Lupin asked.

'No one knows.'
 
You looked up and saw Hermione.

'What when did she get here?' Ron asked.

Hermione sighed and ignored him.

'They are called shapeshifters. They take the shape of whatever a particular person fears the most. That's what makes the so-'

'So terrifying, yes.' Lupin interrupted.

You looked at Hermione and then back at Ron.

'Did you see her enter?' Ron asked.

You shook your head. 

'Luckily, a very simple charm exists to repel a Boggart. Let's practice it now. Without wands, please... After me... riddikulus.' He spoke.

'Riddikulus.' Everyone except Draco and his friends repeated.

'Very good. Little louder.'

The Boggart made the closet move a bit and the students stepped back a bit.

'Very clearly, listen... riddikulus.'

You repeated it.

'This class is ridiculous.' You heard Draco say.

A small grin formed on mouth. Draco shot you a look and you just pretended as if nothing happened.

'Very good... well, so much for the easy part. See the incantation alone is not enough. What really finishes a Boggart is laughter. You need to force it to sue the shape you find truly amusing. Let me explain.. erm... Neville, could you join me please.'

You looked at Neville and he looked at you. You passed him a small smile and nodded.

'Come on, don't be shy, come on.' Lupin said impatiently.

He stepped forward and looked at Lupin.

'You can do it, Neville.' You smiled.

'What frightens you the most?' He asked.

He mumbled something that no one could hear.

'Sorry?' Lupin asked.

'Professor Snape.' He stated.

Neville told you before that he thought Snape was scary. He never explained why.

'And I believe you live with your grandmother?' Lupin asked.
