It wasn't until Malfoy reappeared in the hall at breakfast time on Thursday that the discussion about Malfoy and Buckbeak had gradually subsided. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Defence Against the Dark Arts is an amazing course at Hogwarts, because the teacher who teaches it is cursed, and no teacher has ever been able to teach a full school year since Tom Riddle's failed application. The Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher for the new school year is also a big hit in the Hogwarts underground gambling.

When the young wizards arrived at the Defence Against the Dark Arts classroom early, Professor Lupin wasn't there. They habitually took out their books, quills and parchment, and sat there chatting with each other, talking about how they had felt over the past few days, knowing that Lupin had come to the classroom.

"Good afternoon, classmates. He said, "Please put your books back in your bags, today is a practical class, you just need to take out your wand." ”

When everyone had their things ready, Lupin said, "Please come with me." ”

Confused, everyone followed Lupin out of the classroom and outside the teacher's office.

The teacher's office was a long room, cluttered with a pile of chairs, and there was now only one teacher, Professor Severus Snape, reading a book. Seeing the string of students coming in after Lupin, Snape's brow furrowed. When Holly finally came in, Holly glanced at Snape and received a signal not to close the door.

Snape stood up and strode against the flow of students towards the door, whispering as he and Holly passed by the doorway, "That thing to be in the meeting, cover up for Remus." Standing in the gateway, Snape exclaimed, "No one has warned you, Lupin, but there is a student in this class named Neville Longbottom, and I advise you not to let him use the difficult spell unless Miss Granger tells him what to do in his ear." With that, he turned and closed the door.

Neville's face flushed, and all the Gryffindor students looked angrily at the door of the office that Snape had just left, and there was a sneer from the place where the Slajelin students gathered, and the students of the other two houses were used to it, and they didn't react to it.

Holly was not at all surprised by Snape's behaviour, and Lupin seemed to be more accustomed to it. Raising an eyebrow, Lupin said to the student, "Alright, Neville, come to the front, for the first part of this lesson, I want you to come out and assist me." ”

"So, let's come with me. Lupin turned and walked deeper into the office, Neville following him a little nervously.

At the end of the office, there was nothing but an old wardrobe accident. However, when Lupin stood next to the closet, the closet suddenly shook violently, hitting the wall with a loud noise.

"Don't worry, it's just been Boggart. Lupin said calmly, and quite a few of the little wizards in front of him took a step back after shaking the closet.

"Boggart likes dark, enclosed spaces," Lupin explains, "like the closet, under the bed, even under the cupboard... I even saw it in an old clock. Yesterday it came here, and I asked the principal if he could keep it for the third graders to do some practice. ”

"First of all, the first question, we have to ask ourselves, what is the Boggart?"

"Boggart is a monster that shapeshifts, and it turns into something we fear the most. Granger said, raising his hand.

"It's not the best explanation from our own standpoint," Lupin corrected, "when Boggart is hiding in the dark, we don't know what shape it is, it doesn't know what it looks like to frighten people on the other side of the door, no one knows what Boggart looks like when he's alone, but when we let him out, he's immediately what we're most afraid of." ”

"That means," Lupin said, ignoring Neville who was shivering next to him, "that we had a huge advantage over Bogut before we started. Do you know what its weaknesses are?"

"Harry?" Lupin tried to throw the question to Harry Potter, ignoring the tall Miss Jack-of-all-trades who was holding up next to the Savior.

After a moment of hesitation, Harry tried to say, "Uh... Because we have a lot of people here, we don't know what shape it should become?"

"That's right," Lupin said, "when you're going to face a boggart, just confuse it and you're half the battle." ”

"The way to crack the Boggart is actually simple, but it requires the power of thought. You just have to keep thinking about one kind of funny thing, and you'll see that Boggart really turns into the kind of thing that makes you laugh. ”

"Let's not take out our wands yet, please follow me and say the incantation...... ridiculous...”

"Very good," Lupin said the spell clearly to everyone, "very good, but this is the easiest part, and the rest is the essence of the application of the spell." ”

"I'm going to ask you all to take a moment to think about what you're most afraid of, and imagine how you can make it look ridiculous," Lupin said....... After the Boggart comes out, it will become the first thing you fear the most, so, point your wand at it, shout the incantation, and... Imagine it turning into something that looks ridiculous. ok？”

There was silence in the room. Every student is preparing.

"Is everyone ready?" asked Lupin.

Almost everyone nodded their heads to indicate that they were ready, and Holly looked sideways at Harry Potter who seemed to be a little uneasy and didn't seem to have thought about it yet, and quietly squeezed forward.

"Alright, everybody stand back, we need to give Neville a space to cast spells. Okay? And I'll call the next guy up. Now everybody's backing away so Neville can put on a good show. ”

---

All the students stepped back and stood against the wall, leaving Neville alone to stand in front. Even though his face was pale, he still held his wand to show that he was ready.

Lupin magically opened the closet door from afar, and Professor Snape, conjured up by Boggart, strode out, eyes fixed on Neville. After a moment of hesitation, Neville finally shouted a spell that turned the Boggart into a hilarious figure.

There was a burst of laughter all around, and Boggart stopped in annoyance, and Lupin then shouted, "Barty..."

Until Ron turned Boggart into a legless spider and made the spider roll in front of Harry and Holly, nothing was wrong. It wasn't until Boggart thought he was closer to Harry and turned into a puff of smoke that Boggart recondensed and took shape into a Dementor, causing an uproar among all the students, but Holly was also a little surprised by this result, but he was quickly relieved. As Boggart approached Harry Potter little by little, and even gradually pulled down his hood and showed his face, the students around him unconsciously retreated, there was no doubt that the experience on the train was something that no one wanted to experience, that kind of cold feeling.

Seeing Harry Potter standing there in a daze, and even a little stiff, Holly felt that Harry was immersed in his own fear again.

In desperation, Holly had to take out his wand in his right hand, and with a spell, he threw Harry Potter, who was already unable to move, directly towards the crowd behind him.

As Harry Potter was forcibly pushed away, Boggart had to find the closest person to him again, but he still maintained the shape of the Dementor that Harry Potter had feared.

Seeing Holly take the initiative to stand up and push Harry away, Lupin's heart also eased, if Holly didn't take the initiative to stand up just now, I'm afraid he would need to grab Harry in front of him and get rid of the Dementors. Even so, Lupin took a few steps forward, gathering the other young wizards behind him so that he could control the situation.

However, after Boggart rediscovers Holly standing in front of him, a puff of smoke clears, the Dementors disappear, and the way Boggart has become surprised Lupin...
