Chapter 54: The Boggart in the Wardrobe (Part II)

"Riddiculus!"

The whole class said in unison.

"Very well!" Dumbledore smiled and nodded, "But that's not enough...... The spell to repel the Boggart is very simple, but at the same time it requires the willpower of a wizard, and what really scares the Boggart is laughter, and what you must do is force it to become what you think is ridiculous!"

"Ridiculous image?" Dumbledore instructed, and the class lowered their heads and began to think.

Jon pursed his lips slightly, too.

What could it be that Boggart would be the image he feared?

Turning into a basilisk?

That's impossible, the only time I faced the basilisk was that I closed my eyes the whole time, and I didn't see what the basilisk looked like at all...... If it really changes, it will only become a strange black thing.

Or will it become a zero-score college entrance examination transcript?

It's been so many years since the college entrance examination, and even if it Boggart turns into flowers, it can't scare itself!

Or will it turn into an AN-602 Tsar Bomba that has already started the explosion program?

This one...... It's so big, can it fit in a classroom...... And if such a hydrogen bomb openly appeared in front of so many students, wouldn't it have a bad impact!

Jon pondered there, and Albus Dumbledore took two steps forward and said:

"Great, you can give it a try...... Miss Selwyn, would you be happy to be the first!"

Selwyn, a first-year Slytherin girl, took two brave steps forward, and with some trembling sheer, pulled out her wand and pointed it at the closet.

"Don't be nervous. Dumbledore reassured, "Imagine what you think is ridiculous...... The other students, all took a few steps back to make way for Miss Selwyn...... I'll call the next student to come forward. ”

Everyone stepped back to the wall, leaving Selwyn alone by the closet.

Her face was pale and frightened.

"I'll count to three, Miss Selwyn......" Dumbledore said mildly, pointing his wand at the closet, "One, two, three, start!"

A spark shot from the tip of the elderberry wand, and the spark hit the handle of the closet door, and the closet door was burst open.

A large, smooth, hairless golden lion crawled out of the closet, staring at Selwyn with an angry growl.

Dumbledore frowned slightly, then said, "A Tanzanian man-eating lion...... Miss Selwyn, hurry up and imagine what you think is funny......"

Selwyn took a few steps back in fright, her wand raised, but she was speechless.

Step by step, the lion crawled towards her, getting closer and closer.

"Slippery ...... Slippery...... Riddiculus!" Selwyn screamed.

The lion's body was quickly surrounded by flames...... It had a small number of hairs, and in a matter of seconds, all the flames burned out, turning into a black charcoal that did not slip away.

"Hahaha!" the students let out a burst of cheerful laughter.

"Well done, Miss Selwyn...... Next, Mr. Smith. ”

Zachares-Smith stepped forward.

The black charcoal walked around him twice, and then began to turn into a human form little by little.

It turned into a middle-aged woman in her forties, with sternness and anger written all over her face......

The middle-aged woman pressed towards Zacharis menacingly, reaching into her robe.

"Mom...... Mommy......" Zacharis said, shuddering, looking down.

Several Hufflepuff students let out a low chuckle, and Smith, who looked so big and fearless, was so afraid of his mother.

"Don't be nervous, Mr. Smith, remember it's just a Boggart. Dumbledore said a little lazily.

Zacharis woke up from a dream and raised his wand: "Riddiculus!"

Mrs. Smith was knocked back a few steps by the spell, and then she was covered in cream cake and rubbed there in confusion.

Zacharis couldn't help but laugh.

All the students burst out laughing, even Jon.

Dumbledore looked down at the roster, "Miss Midgan!"

Boggart turned into a bloodied mummy wrapped in bandages in front of her.

Soon, however, the bandages on the mummy's body fell apart, and it stumbled and fell.

"Next...... Mr. Avery!"

The fallen mummy turned into a massive Welsh green dragon that filled the classroom almost with its body.

A few seconds later, however, the Welsh Green Dragon was transformed into a rat with an upside-down tail.

"Boggart has become weak, next, Miss Greengrass. ”

Astoria had just been laughing at the upside-down rat with Selwyn, and soon she was out of the crowd.

The little rat hanging in the air still made a "squeak" and "squeak" sound, but its eyes looked at Astoria.

It began to deform little by little again, slowly ...... This time, it becomes a mirror.

Jon frowned, and the students next to him began to whisper.

It is a beautiful bronze mirror, with elegant patterns and inscriptions carved on both sides of the top...... The mirror floated in the air, little by little, towards Astoria.

However, the imaginary phrase "Riddiculus" never came.

Jon's face changed as he turned his gaze to Astoria.

"Wait a minute!" he shouted.

Astoria Greengrass's face has never been so pale...... She stood there trembling, sweat uncontrollably draining from her forehead and trembling up and down, as if she might lose her footing at any moment.

"Poof!" there was a crisp thud, and her willow wand fell to the ground.

Jon couldn't think too much of it, and he strode out of the crowd and held Astoria.

The blonde girl fell into his arms, and Jon quickly hugged her...... The girl collapsed weakly in his arms, trembling and crying, her voice full of fear and helplessness.

She couldn't even make a sound.

Dumbledore had also arrived, in fact he had been between Boggart and Astoria a few seconds earlier.

The mirror began to transform again, turning into a strange creature in the form of a black mist that exuded a cold aura.

"Riddiculus!" Jon felt a ray of anger as Dumbledore chanted the incantation.

Turned into a silent Bogut, almost crushed by him.

"Professor Dumbledore, she needs to go to the hospital!" Jon said anxiously.

"I think you're right, Mr. Hart. Dumbledore nodded solemnly.

With Dumbledore's permission, Jon hurriedly picked up the weak Astoria and walked out of the classroom step by step.

At the same time, Dumbledore was heard behind him say, "Miss Selwyn, please go to the Charms classroom and tell Miss Daphne Greengrass to hurry up and go to the school hospital, her sister is in a little bit of a problem." ”
