The Other Side of the Story~~~Book 3~~~

DADA

I walked in and sat down. Lupin should be back today.

Everyone walled in, saw Professor Lupin, and started to complain about the homework Snape had given them.

Lupin then broke the complaining.

"Did you tell Professor Snape that you haven't covered it yet?"

Everyone then said yes and brought up the story of me.

He raised his hand. The class fell silent. "Someone raise their hand and tell me what Molly did. Hmmmmmm. How about. Lavender.

Professor, Molly told him that the lesson plans were on the desk when he said that we were learning about werewolves. After Professor Snape picked them up and right before he threw them in the fire, she stunned him. She started to teach the class. After Snape woke up, which was like a minute after, he kicked her out of class, stole 50 points from Gryffindor, and made her do twice as much work as the rest of us by the next day.

That is all?

Yes.

You are just like your father."

I grinned.

"Molly, Molly, Molly. You will end up in detention every week if you do this. There was not a week where he was not in detention for pranks and jokes. Now...."

After class Lupin called Harry over to have a "word." I quickly went outside and then drank an invisibility potion I always had for emergencies. This was an emergency. Lupin never pulls anyone over unless it is very important. I walked inside and found Lupin and Harry talking.

"They planted the Whomping Willow the same year that I arrived at Hogwarts. People used to play a game, trying to get near enough to touch the trunk. In the end, a boy called Davey Gudgeon nearly lost an eye, and we were forbidden to go near it. No broomstick would have a chance.

Did you hear about the Dementors too?"

I crept to the front of the room.

"Yes, I did. I don't think any of us have seen Professor Dumbledore that angry. They have been growing restless for some time... furious at his refusal to let them inside the grounds... I suppose they were the reason you fell?

Yes."

After a second Harry said," "Why? Why do they affect me like that? Am I just —?"

"It has nothing to do with weakness," Lupin said sharply. I only had a few minutes before the potion started to wear off. It wasn't the strongest potion I ever made.

"The Dementors affect you worse than the others because there are horrors in your past that the others don't have. Expect Molly who is just like her father and is standing in this room right now."

The potion wore off and I was staring face to face with Lupin and my shocked brother, Harry.

Hello.

I thought you had left the room.

I did. Anyways, Professor Lupin please continue.

He signed and then continued.

"Dementors are among the foulest creatures that walk this earth. They infest the darkest, filthiest places, they glory in decay and despair, and they drain peace, hope, and happiness out of the air around them. Even Muggles feel their presence, though they can't see them. Get too near a Dementor and every good feeling, every happy memory will be sucked out of you. The Dementor will feed on you long enough to reduce you to something like itself — soulless and evil. You'll be left with nothing but the worst experiences of your life. And the worst that happened to you, Harry, is enough to make anyone fall off their broom. You have nothing to feel ashamed of."

"When they get near me — I can hear Voldemort murdering my mum."

I stared at him shocked.

Why did they have to come to the match?

"They're getting hungry...

I zoned out. Harry hears mum every time they come close. I experienced the same thing. I wasn't as close to her but I still loved and cared about her. 

 "Well... all right. I'll try and help. But it'll have to wait until next term, I'm afraid. I have a lot to do before the holidays. I chose a very inconvenient time to fall ill."

Molly, come on!!

Coming.

I looked at Lupin's face. He was worried. I didn't know why. I zoned out for a long time.
