.Iwould advise you not to entrust him with anything difficult.Not unlessMiss Granger is hissing instructions in his ear."Neville went scarlet.Harry glared at Snape; it was bad enough that hebullied Neville in his own classes, let alone doing it in front of otherteachers.Professor Lupin had raised his eyebrows."I was hoping that Neville would assist me with the first stage of theoperation," he said, "and I am sure he will perform it admirably."Neville's face went, if possible, even redder.Snape's lip curled, buthe left, shutting the door with a snap."Now, then," said Professor Lupin, beckoning the class toward the end ofthe room, where there was nothing but an old wardrobe where the teacherskept their spare robes.As Professor Lupin went to stand next to it, thewardrobe gave a sudden wobble, banging off the wall."Nothing to worry about," said Professor Lupin calmly because a fewpeople had jumped backward in alarm."There's a boggart in there."Most people seemed to feel that this was something to worry about.Neville gave Professor Lupin a look of pure terror, and Seamus Finniganeyed the now rattling doorknob apprehensively."Boggarts like dark, enclosed spaces," said Professor Lupin."Wardrobes,the gap beneath beds, the cupboards under sinks -- I've even met onethat had lodged itself in a grandfather clock.This one moved inyesterday afternoon, and I asked the headmaster if the staff would leaveit to give my third years some practice."So, the first question we must ask ourselves is, what is a boggart?"Hermione put up her hand."It's a shape-shifter," she said."It can take the shape of whatever itthinks will frighten us most.""Couldn't have put it better myself," said Professor Lupin, and Hermioneglowed."So the boggart sitting in the darkness within has not yetassumed a form.He does not yet know what will frighten the person onthe other side of the door.Nobody knows what a boggart looks like whenhe is alone, but when I let him out, he will immediately become whatevereach of us most fears."This means," said Professor Lupin, choosing to ignore Neville's 'mallsputter of terror, "that we have a huge advantage over the boggartbefore we begin.Have you spotted it, Harry?"Trying to answer a question with Hermione next to him, bobbing up anddown on the balls of her feet with her hand in the air, was veryoff-putting, but Harry had a go."Er -- because there are so many of us, it won't know what shape itshould be?""Precisely," said Professor Lupin, and Hermione put her hand down,looking a little disappointed."It's always best to have com pany whenyou're dealing with a boggart.He becomes confused.Which should hebecome, a headless corpse or a flesh-eating slug? I once saw a boggartmake that very mistake -- tried to frighten two people at once andturned himself into half a slug.Not remotely frightening."The charm that repels a boggart is simple, yet it requires force ofmind.You see, the thing that really finishes a boggart is laughter.What you need to do is force it to assume a shape that you find amusing."We will practice the charm without wands first.After me, please.Riddikulus!""Riddikulus!" said the class together."Good," said Professor Lupin."Very good.But that was the easy part,I'm afraid.You see, the word alone is not enough.And this is where youcome in, Neville."The wardrobe shook again, though not as much as Neville, who walkedforward as though he were heading for the gallows."Right, Neville," said Professor Lupin."First things first: what wouldyou say is the thing that frightens you most in the world?"Neville's lips moved, but no noise came out."didn't catch that, Neville, sorry," said Professor Lupin cheerfully.Neville looked around rather wildly, as though begging someone to helphim, then said, in barely more than a whisper, "Professor Snape."Nearly everyone laughed.Even Neville grinned apologetically.ProfessorLupin, however, looked thoughtful."Professor Snape.hmmm.Neville, I believe you live with yourgrandmother?""Er -- yes," said Neville nervously."But -- I don't want the boggart toturn into her either.""No, no, you misunderstand me," said Professor Lupin, now smiling."Iwonder, could you tell us what sort of clothes your grandmother usuallywears?"Neville looked startled, but said, "Well.always the same hat.A tallone with a stuffed vulture on top.And a long dress.green,normally.and sometimes a fox-fur scarf.""And a handbag?" prompted Professor Lupin."A big red one," said Neville."Right then," said Professor Lupin."Can you picture those clothes veryclearly, Neville? Can you see them in your mind's eye?""Yes," said Neville uncertainty, plainly wondering what was coming next."When the boggart bursts out of this wardrobe, Neville, and sees You, itwill assume the form of Professor Snape," said Lupin."And You willraise your wand -- thus -- and cry 'Riddikulus' -- and concentrate hardon your grandmother's clothes.If all goes well, Professor Boggart Snapewill be forced into that vulture-topped hat, and that green dress, withthat big red handbag."There was a great shout of laughter.The wardrobe wobbled moreviolently."If Neville is successful, the boggart is likely to shift his attentionto each of us in turn," said Professor Lupin [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
