?'So, the first question we must ask ourselves is, what is a boggart?' Hermione put up her hand. 'It's a shapeshifter,' she said. 'It can take the shape of whatever it thinks will frighten us most'
'Couldn't have put it better myself,' said Lupin, and Hermione glowed.
Lupin felt his insides light up. Was it wrong of him to feel like this about a student?
He looked forward to the lessons with the 3rd year Gryffindors, especially the pretty young brunette, who always answered every question correctly.
Lupin set the work for the rest of the lesson then sat at his desk wondering how he could be alone with his star pupil. Then it came to him. 'Miss Granger, please stay behind after class, I have some extra work for you'
Hermione's eyes shone at the prospect of more work and all the other students looked relieved they hadn't been asked to stay.
'I wonder what he wants you to do' pondered Ron aloud. Hermione didnt reply, but she too wondered what extra work he had for her.
Happy that no-one suspected anything but extra work, Lupin sighed and sat back in his chair allowing the rest of the lesson to fly by.
