In Dumblebore's office, Harry sat with Gandalf. Suddenly, a shadowy grey
dementor appeared behind Harry. Harry turned to Gandalf, explaining the
appearance of the boggart.
"Boggarts appear in the form of whatever the person fears most. Dementors
feed of happy feelings, til nothing is left but your most unbearable and
awful memories." Harry shivered after stating this. As if sensing
Harry's sadness, the dementor loomed closer behind Harry, growing larger
with each step. Harry slowly turned around, preoccupied with his memories
of the triwizard cup, and took out his wand.
"Expecto pat-" Harry's eyes then rolled up in his head, and he fell to the
floor. Sensing his hesitation, the boggart grew even larger, and stepping
forward, suddenly disappeared with a large pop. Harry groaned and rolled
over.
"What happened?" Gandalf answered, "I believe that the boggart simply ran
out of unhappy emotions. Because of your explanation, I had no fear, and
the boggart had used up too much energy growing. At the absence of a
source of energy, is ceased to exist. Hmm, that was indeed one of my more
profound ideas." Stroking his long white beard, he smiled. Harry chuckled.
"Gandalf, you are so much like Dumbledore."
