Now Forgoil wasn't surprised to see the boggart turn into an inferius; after all, they were something to be legitimately feared and Azrael had a whole army of them running around the countryside. So it shouldn't have been too difficult a task for Felix to handle, but there was something that the grey-haired Scotsman did notice. The look in Felix's eyes was the same one he had when a iron poker had been shoved into his stomach so long ago. It was the look of mind-numbing fear, but the Gryffindor managed to dispell that quickly and he handled the situation very cleverly.
Clapping slowly with a broad grin on his face, Halifirien said, "Very good spellwork Mister Genero! While it is a known fact that fire is very effective against an Inferius, one must always be cautioned that a burning inferius is more deadly than a normal one. By summoning a flaming rope, not only were you able to use fire against the creature but you managed to restrain it so that it couldn't throw itself at you. Class, please take note of Felix's ingenuity: he's set the bar for now and I want to see how creative you lot can be."
"Oh, and before the next person goes," said the Professor haltingly as the boggart returned to its usual form. Frog slowly turned to look at his pupils once more, his eyes displaying his pride at everyone's work so far, and asked, "Mister Genero, may I please speak to you after class? That's all then. Next person, please step up and show me the meaning of constructive creativity!"

Now here Felix wasn’t even thinking properly and he still managed to show off unintentionally. His entire brain was flooded with a hypothetical fear that his brain was rushing to, and even then the first thing he had thought of happened to extremely impress Professor Forgoil. Felix hadn’t even been aware of the feelings of the people around him, so when he tried to read Froggy, he was shocked to find genuine approval. Felix didn’t know if this was a ploy of the Ex-Hufflepuff’s to make Felix feel ok again, but it did just that.
Now feeling proud of himself, Felix almost cringed at the Professors praise of his spellwork. The fiery rope was simply a well controlled and modified Incarcerous and Incendio with a few personal twist, he had practiced it many times before, just in case. Now Felix wanted to slouch down and hide. Perhaps his real fear was yet to come, people rejecting him for being better then they were. It wasn’t real fear, just peer pressure, but Felix hated it none the less. At least this year he was a prefect and didn’t look like a little kid, last year he was practically called the ‘little know-it-all’. Still, Felix deserved the praise he got from Forgoil, and as long as Felix wasn’t consciously trying to show off, he knew he wouldn’t get as much grief as normal.
Just when Felix thought the shame-earning praise was done, the Professor not only asked to speak to Felix after class, but then decided to make Felix the standard for creativity and ingenuity. Felix was more confused then proud now. Was Forgoil trying to turn the other students against Felix? Or was he just pure ignorant? No matter who you do it too, making what someone does a standard that you’re going to hold his friends too is torture to whoever is the unlucky mastermind. The only advantage he had now was knowing that at least he had a Professor who finally recognized him for what he really could do. His only hope was that Felix wouldn’t turn Forgoil and enemy just like the Gryffindor had done half of the rest of his friends.
Done with the stone face, Felix rolled his eyes and tried to hid in his chair, sorely tempted to try and veil himself unnoticeable with magic. Or at least try. All he had to do was wait for a few more people to take their turn in front of the Boggart and he would be free. Still, a lingering feeling of pride still was within the Gryffindor. He deserved the praise he got, even if he didn’t exactly want it.
