Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (104-156)

Harry, Ron, and showing up randomly according to Ron, Hermione, begin their first lesson of Divination. They all find the teacher very weird and disturbing. She begins class by making them all drink tea and then after finishing, switch cups and look at the tea leaves at the bottom. She says Neville Longbottom is going to have a tragedy at home in a couple months, making the class laugh, but soon the room gets tense. She looks into Harry's and notices the Grim, the sign of death. Hermione laughs it off as a ridiculous assumption and soon the class follows her lead.
The next class is Defense Against the Dark Arts with new teacher Professor Lupin. Their first lesson they leave the classroom and go to the teachers lounge. He calls Neville up to the front as a demonstration. Their is a Boggart in the wardrobe in the room. Lupin explains that when it comes out in public, it takes the shape of everyones greatest fear, Neville's being Professor Snape [haha :)]. Upon seeing the image, you can make it not scary by adding features to it, Necille adds his grandmothers hat, dress, and cane. Soon the class follows with different things as the Boggart turns into, Ron's being a spider. When it is Harry's turn, Lupin stops the experiment and dismisses class.

Response: I love the Boggart chapter, I mean Neville Longbottom cracks me up. I also miss Prof Lupin, he's the best teacher in my book...Hagrid is close eventhough he failed at teaching his first year.
