My mom and I were watching Prisoner of Azkaban tonight and we got the the scene with the boggart in Defense Against the Dark Arts class. Probably the first week of school. Here’s precious cinnamon roll Remus Lupin, back at Hogwarts after over a decade, but as a professor this time. Alone this time. His best friends are dead. The one that killed them has escaped from prison, hunting down their little boy. The Marauders are dead and gone.
But when he asks Frank & Alice’s boy what he’s most afraid of, the poor sap says “Professor Snape.”
And then Remus is 15 again and Sirius and James are snickering over his shoulder.
“Ay Moony, let’s see Snivellus in a dress!!”
No, he’s an authority figure now. So is Snape. Professor Snape. They have to treat each other with respect. He can’t let old grudges-
“I want you to imagine Professor Snape in your grandmother’s clothes,” he whispers to Neville, stifling a smile.
“Riddikulus!”
Snape tumbles out of the cupboard with a little red handbag and a stuffed vulture on his head.
Remus almost feels Sirius clap him on the back and he allows himself a deep, roaring laugh with the Marauders for the first time in 12 years. “Knew you still had it in you, Moony.”
For a split second he sees James’ smug grin out of the corner of his eye, but then he blinks and it’s only Harry.

Kill me right now
