The first DADA class Yr 3:
Professor Lupin is such a great teacher. Today he taught us all about boggarts and how to handle them. At first I was really terrified. Since the boggart takes whatever shape you're most afraid of I knew it would be Professor Snape.
And then Professor Lupin asked me about Gran's clothes. I thought seeing Snape in a vulture topped hat might just terrify me more, but Professor Lupin really encouraged us all to try. When the cupboard door opened I was really out of my wits with dread, and I felt like a thousand minutes had passed. It was really only a few moments and when I yelled riddikulus Professor Snape boggart was dressed in Gran's clothes.
Everyone was laughing and for the first time I felt like I had a really good start to the term.
Your friend,
Neville
