The girl is portrayed by Carmen Blanchard

Lupin's point of view

I had decided to do the boggart class with all of the students. Seeming that anyone could teach the students one spell after the other, one of the things that could always help people was to face their own fears- their own demons. And while some might have almost called it abuse to make it- I did have an idea that after facing it once. Maybe it wouldn't scare them quite as much if they were ever faced with their biggest fear again- for real.

In the second year class there was one of these students that just kind of disappeared into the group. Always silent, shy and with that begging look in her eyes when she handed something in. As if she wanted nothing else than for me to tell her she had done it right.

But still, I could never have known that cold, rainy mid-October day. That while I could never remember the name of this young girl. I would never be able to forget the look in her eyes when she faced her fears… and honestly… I would have done anything to keep it from her.

When she stepped up towards the boggart Ginny Weasley was pale when she stepped forward towards the cupboard and her fingers were so tightly wrapped around her wand I could see also her knuckles had whitened. I couldn't help but frown and grip hard around my own wand in case I'd have to step in. But before I had the time to do anything else, the stuffed dog made out of a scary doll had turned into a black book.

Huh?

My grip around the wand loosened, this didn't even make sense. It couldn't anyway!

Suddenly the book flew open and from it rose shadows looking more and more like a young boy. He got clearer and clearer, but not long until he was a clear person and could step out of the book Ginny raised her wand and with mentioning the spell her voice wasn't more than a whimper.

"Riddikulus."

The boy disappeared, the book closed and on the cover appeared bright colors making it into a book full of funny stories and pranks instead of the dirty, black diary that had been there just a minute ago. And while Ginny Weasley- still pale as a sheet but looking kind of relieved stumbled towards the back of the line I still kept my eyes.

And since I only looked towards Ginny I never noticed another young girl stepping forward towards the boggart- or at least I didn't until the colorful book flew into the air and turned into a man, large grown, and with the exact same hair color as the girl in front of him.

The girl- whom I could never remember the name of was now also her pale as a sheet. And with her wand raised I could hear she tried to say the spell. But ending up with only weak stuttering that didn't get her to anything.

The young girl was breathing heavily as she backed away from the boggart man. Fear was shining from her eyes as she backed right into the person first in line after her. The boggart man came closer and closer to her and raised his hand, but before he had the time to step in or even say anything, the girl had dropped her wand, span around and sprinted out of the room.

Bang

The boggart turned into a zombie

Bang

It turned into a rat

Bang

It turned into a clown

Bang

Into a rat again

And without a word I opened the cupboard door with a silent spell, and the children couldn't help but laugh when I levitated the rat and made it fly into the cupboard before I sent it right into the cupboard. The door was thrown closed after it, and left nothing but silence before I could find the right words to say.

"Kids." My voice sounded weirdly distant when I bent down and picked the girl's wand up from the floor. "Class is over for today."

"But it's actually fifteen minutes left." I looked up and smiled towards the students- or did my best at least. Because in my mind that girl's expression when the boggart turned into a certain man played over and over again.

"Shush Collin." Another student scolded. "Then we'll just get a longer break." I did my best to smile again.

"Off you go."
