"Now, can anyone tell me what a Boggart looks like?" Professor Lupin asked

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

"No one knows," I said, surprising Crabbe, Goyle, and Draco.

"When did she get here?" Crabbe asked.

"Boggarts are shapeshifters. They take the shape whatever particular person fears the most. That's what makes them so terrifying." I continued.

"Y/N, to be honest, you're scaring me." Draco said.

"Maybe you just didn't notice me?" I said.

"So you're telling me that you're here all this time?" Draco said then raised an eyebrow.

I nodded, making Crabbe and Goyle gasped.

"But how come we didn't see you?" Draco asked.

I didn't answer. "SHE'S A GHOST!" Crabbe and Goyle exclaimed.

"Please. You two are being ridiculous." I said.

"This happened to Divination class too. What are you hiding, Rosecharm?" Pansy asked.

I rolled my eyes. "What could I possibly hide, Parkinson?"

"Oh, I don't know. Maybe the fact that you just pop out everywhere!" Pansy said.

"Both of you, enough." Draco said, making Pansy and I stopped arguing.

"Luckily, a very simple charm exists to repel a Boggart. Let's practice it now. Repeat after me, Ridikulus." Professor Lupin said.

"Ridikulus." We repeated after him.

"Very good. A little louder. Very clear. Listen, Ridikulus." He said.

"This class is ridiculous." Draco said.

"So much for the easy part. You see, the
incantation alone isn't enough. What really finishes a Boggart is laughter. You need to force it to assume a shape you find truly amusing. Neville, would you join me please?"

Neville looked around like there's another Neville in this classroom.

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

"Hello. Neville, what frightens you most of all?" Professor Lupin asked.

"Professor Snape." He said quietly.
