Remus Lupin is a master of reading people, not just their faces, no. 

Remus Lupin knows pain, he recognises it even though all the other people try to hide and some of them, they do. 

Remus Lupin knows who needs to laugh the most and he knows their fears.

So when he calls Neville to be the first to do the Boggarts training, he knows just what he needs. 

Remus Lupin knows this boy, above most of the children in that class, needs a good laugh. 

Remus Lupin recognises pain and he tries to heal people.

Remus Lupin knows what pain looks like because he lived through almost every possible pain he knows.

Remus Lupin knows he won’t heal, these are not broken bones and gashed skin.

So Remus Lupin tries to heal, one laughter at a time; reminiscing the times they made everyone laugh with his friends.

A tribute to all that’s lost and all that’s left, Remus Lupin still has the mischief in his blood.
