The Ravenclaws had wanted to take Defence Against the Dark Arts class for a long time.

This semester, Gryffindor's Young Wizards are the first house to take a Defence Against the Dark Arts class.

After they finished, they boasted about their experience dealing with the Boggart, much to the curiosity and anticipation of the Ravenclaw wizards.

"All right," said Professor Lupin, seeing that everyone was ready, "you come with me." ”

Puzzled and interested, the students stood up and followed Professor Lupin out of the classroom.

He led them through the empty hallway, around a corner, and they caught a glimpse of Peeves, the prankster of all, coming into their way.

Everyone thought that Peeves was going to make trouble, but unexpectedly, it turned around and left, which can be called a deserted escape.

The Ravenclaws looked at Professor Lupin in ragged clothes with admiration, and they had all heard about Professor Lupin's treatment of Peeves.

In fact, Peeves is seeing Eren who just cleaned him up last night!

The impression of the pain of being stuck in the nose with an iron spear in the nose, tightly bound, and unable to escape is too deep.

Therefore, Peeves swept Alan into the crowd and turned and fled.

Professor Lupin led the young wizards down the second hallway and stopped outside the faculty lounge door.

"Let's go inside. Professor Lupin said, opening the door and taking a step back.

The staff lounge is a long room with wooden panels on all four walls, and the room is filled with old chairs that don't match.

There were no teachers in the house, and the students came into the room.

"A big thank you to the professors, they were all very supportive of the Defence Against the Dark Arts class and had this lounge reserved for me. Professor Lupin closed the door.

"Alright. Professor Lupin said, motioning for the students to walk towards the other end of the room.

There was only an old wardrobe there, and the teachers kept their changing robes in it.

Professor Lupin walked over and stood next to the closet, which suddenly shook and slammed against the wall.

"Don't worry," Professor Lupin said calmly when he saw a few of his classmates jumping back in shock, "there's a boggart in there." ”

Most of the students seem to feel that this is exactly what they need to worry about.

With the publicity of the Gryffindor wizards, of course, everyone knew that it was the Boggart, but listening to the thrilling descriptions of those little lions would inevitably make the Ravenclaws nervous.

"Oh, Professor Traurini said I might have something ominous this week!" Padma Patil gave Professor Lupin a horrified look.

Marietta Ekmo stared in horror at the rattling doorknob.

"Boggart likes dark, enclosed spaces," says Professor Lupin, "the wardrobe, the space under the bed, the cupboard under the sink – I once came across a man who lived in an old man's clock." ”

"Now, the first question we're going to ask ourselves is: What is a Boggart?" Professor Lupin looked around the room at the little wizard.

The Ravenclaws looked at Alan in unison.

Professor Lupin followed their gaze, "Alan, it seems that you are the only one to answer this question!"

"The Boggart is a magical creature of the wizarding world, a shape-shifting creature that will see through your heart and become what you fear the most. Alan said.

After a pause, he added, "The purpose of Boggart's scary appearance seems to be to feed on human fear, not to defend itself with this ability. Because of this, it is counted as a dark magic creature. ”

"I can't say it any more clearly, Ravenclaw plus five points. Professor Lupin said.

The little Ravenclaw wizards had a smile on their faces, and they felt that they were beginning to like the poorest professor at Hogwarts.

So, the Boggart in the dark cabinet didn't have a concrete shape yet, and it didn't know what the people outside the door were afraid of. No one knows what Boggart looks like when he's alone, but as soon as I let it out, it immediately becomes the thing that each of us fears the most. ”

Professor Lupin reminded the young wizards that the Ravenclaws listened attentively and that no one wanted to be embarrassed in front of their classmates.

"That is to say," continued Professor Lupin, and Padma muttered something incoherently in fright, "and he didn't hear it, "we have a great advantage in front of the Boggart. Do you see this advantage?"

The Ravenclaws looked at Alan again.

Professor Lupin shook his head and said, "No, no, no, you can't always count on Alan to give you answers, you need to think for yourself. Come to think of it, you're smart Ravenclaws!"

Michael Corner raised his hand hesitantly.

Professor Lupin's hand pointed at him and looked at him encouragingly.

"I think it's because there are so many of us that it doesn't know what shape it should be?" said Michael.

"Quite right. Professor Lupin said, but did not give Michael any extra points.

"When dealing with Boggart, it's best to go with a group. And that confuses it: is it going to be a skeleton without a head, or is it going to be a meat-eating slug? I once saw a boggart make this mistake -- it tried to scare two people at the same time, and it turned itself into half a slug, which wasn't scary at all. ”

"The spell to repel the Boggart is very simple, but it requires great mental strength. You know, what really made Boggart completely finished was laughter. What you need is to force it to be an image that you find funny. ”

"Let's not practice the spell with our wands first. Please read it to me...... Funny funny!"

"Funny funny!" the class said.

"Very good," said Professor Lupin, "very good." But that's the easier part. You know, this spell alone is not enough. Who wants to be the first to try?"

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, no one wants to come forward.

Seeing this, Alan wanted to be the first to go on and give everyone a demonstration.

But Professor Lupin shook his head and said, "Allen, I have no doubt that you can defeat Boggart, but I think you would be more suitable as the one to deal with it last." ”

"Isn't anyone willing to be the first to try but Alan?" Professor Lupin seemed a little disappointed.

"Well, I hope you all take a moment now to think about what you're most afraid of, and then imagine how you can make it ridiculous......"

There was silence in the classroom.

Alan was also thinking...... What are you most afraid of in this world?

Probably the secret of his resurrection from the dead was exposed!

So what kind of image will Boggart produce?

Is it the way you used to be?

Or is it what you looked like when you were in a car accident?

Alan can't imagine!
