[[../../..Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Draco_Malfoy|Draco Malfoy]] reappears on Thursday, midway through [[../../..Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Severus_Snape|Professor Snape]]'s Double Potions class, claiming his injury is still painful. He sits himself at [[../../..Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Harry_Potter|Harry]] and [[../../..Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Ron_Weasley|Ron's]] bench, and Snape orders them to prepare Malfoy's ingredients for him. Malfoy taunts them with threats of [[../../..Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Rubeus_Hagrid|Hagrid's]] imminent dismissal thanks to his father, [[../../..Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Lucius_Malfoy|Lucius]], who apparently still has influence with the Ministry. Malfoy also contends that if he was Harry, he would want revenge on [[../../..Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Sirius_Black|Sirius Black]]. Harry later asks Ron why he would want revenge against Black; Ron cannot answer. Meanwhile, [[../../..Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Hermione_Granger|Hermione]] helps [[../../..Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Neville_Longbottom|Neville]] make his potion correctly, against Snape's orders; Snape penalizes Gryffindor five House points, because he assumes (correctly) that Hermione helped him.
 
As the Trio leave the dungeon, Hermione suddenly seems to disappear. Looking around, Ron sees her catching up while tucking something down her robe. Her bag splits, and Ron asks why she is carrying so many books, as there is nothing that afternoon except Defence Against the Dark Arts. She does not answer.
 
In Defense Against the Dark Arts, [[../../..Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Remus_Lupin|Professor Lupin]] tells the class to put their books away and bring out their wands. This will be a practical class. He leads them to the staff room, just as Snape is leaving. When Snape snidely comments about Neville's undisciplined magic, Lupin replies that he hoped Neville would lead off the demonstration. Lupin explains that there is a [[../../..Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Boggart|Boggart]] in the wardrobe. No one knows what a Boggart looks like because it styles itself after a person's deepest fear. To repel it, it must be forced to change into a humorous shape by casting the [[../../..Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Riddikulus|''Riddikulus'' charm]]. Neville's greatest fear is Snape. Lupin tells Neville to imagine the scary professor wearing his grandmother's clothing. Each student similarly comes up with their own fear and then pictures it as a funny image. Harry's greatest fear is a [[../../..Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Dementor|Dementor]], and he wonders how can he make that funny. The wardrobe is opened and "Snape" emerges. Neville casts the spell that dresses Snape as his grandmother. Each takes a shot at the Boggart. As Harry goes to take his turn, Lupin steps in before the Bogart takes shape. It rapidly turns into a floating white orb, and Lupin forces it back to Neville, who spells it one last time, whereupon it vanishes. Class is dismissed. Harry wonders why he was prevented from repelling the Boggart while [[../../..Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Parvati_Patil|Parvati]] is curious as to why Lupin fears crystal balls. Ron wants to know what Hermione's worst fear is, but she also did not have a chance at the Boggart.
 
== Analysis ==
 
Professor Lupin's character is becoming more defined here. Understanding that students require respect, he shows that to them. Despite Snape's aspersions against Neville, Lupin has him lead off against the Boggart, and coaches him to where he has the confidence to perform the spell twice. This proves to be an important milestone in Neville Longbottom's development. To date, Neville has always felt that he was in the wrong place. He once remarked that his family believed he was, "almost a [[../../..Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Squib|squib]]," in ''[[..Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/..Books/Chamber of Secrets|Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets]]'', and he himself fears he has no real magical abilities. Indeed, it does appear that he has little, if any, skill in Potions, and he is apparently just as lost in [[../../..Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Divination|Divination]] as Harry and Ron. Lupin, by having him lead off the class against the Boggart and later having him finish the lesson, boosts his confidence. Additionally, the astute reader may note that Lupin uses the students' Christian names rather than their surnames, as is the British custom. While this could be seen as excessive familiarity, particularly in schools run on the English public-school model, in this context, it seems to change Lupin from a professor into a teacher.
 
The Bogart represents how everyone's fears are different. Curiously, it is not Voldemort that Harry fears most, but Dementors. Harry willingly stepped up to face the Boggart (as a Dementor) in Lupin's class, but he is upset and confused when Lupin interrupts his turn, although Lupin explains later that he was afraid the Boggart would turn into Voldemort. It may be that Harry fears Dementors more because he has difficulty comprehending what the eerie creatures are and does not know how to react to them. Voldemort, although an evil and powerful enemy, is a human being (albeit a still disembodied one), and Harry can better understand his more predictable human traits. Dementors, in contrast, are dark, hidious creatures that are not entirely understood by wizards, are unpredictable, and apparently are difficult to keep under control; they also seem to show a particular interest in Harry, whose encounter with them left a deep emotional wound. In the next chapter, Lupin tells Harry that he is impressed by Harry being more afraid of fear rather than an actual being. When fear is intangible and incomprehensible, it often becomes more terrifying.

The confidence that Lupin instills in Neville sustains him through his next two years at Hogwarts and one that Harry later builds upon in [[../../..Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Major Events/Dumbledore's Army|Dumbledore's Army]]. It also allows Neville to join Harry in the [[../../..Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Major Events/Battle at the Department of Mysteries|Battle at the Department of Mysteries]] in [[..Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/..Books/Order of the Phoenix|''Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix'']]. Without this initial success, Neville likely would have remained ineffectual, depressed, and useless, never discovering his strengths in [[../../..Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Herbology|Herbology]], [[../../..Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Charms|Charms]], and [[../../..Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Defence Against the Dark Arts|Defence Against the Dark Arts]].
 
Although Hermione never had a chance at the Boggart in Lupin's class, it will be revealed later that her greatest fear is Professor McGonnagall telling her that she failed all her classes.
