"The best thing to do when dealing with Boggart is to have a lot of people. It's confused. What should it become? Is it a corpse without a head, or a carnivorous slug? One time I saw a boggett make the mistake of trying to scare two people at the same time, so he turned himself into a half-slug. Not scary at all. "The spell to fight off the Boggart is simple, but it takes willpower. You know, what really scared Boggart off was laughter. All you have to do is force it to turn into what you think is a ridiculous image. "Let's talk about this spell without a wand. Please tell me: "Funny funny" "Funny funny! The class said in unison. "Good," Professor Mel said, "good." But, I'm afraid that's just the easy part. You know, this mantra alone is not enough. It's up to you, Lupin. The wardrobe shook again, and Lupin walked forward as if he had gone to the gallows. Many of her classmates closed their eyes, and Yolanda was recalling what she was most afraid of, knowing that she had never thought about it. "Are you all ready?" Professor Mel asked. Lupin felt a pang of terror. He wasn't ready. He knew what he was most afraid of, if this kind of thing came to everyone•••••••But he didn't want to ask for more time; Everyone else nodded and rolled up their sleeves. "Lupin, we're going to step back," said Professor Mel, "and I'll call the next man to come forward, and now, everyone, get back and give Lupin an open space!" Everyone stepped back and retreated to the wall, leaving Lupin alone by the closet. Lupin's face turned pale. Beech was scared, but he had rolled up the sleeves of his robe and held his wand. "I'll count to three, Lupin," Professor Mel said, pointing his wand at the closet, "One, two, three, start!" A burst of sparks shot from the end of the Professor's wand, and the sparks struck the handle of the closet door. The closet door burst open. A round crystal ball burst out. Lupin stepped back, his wand raised, his mouth stammering, speechless. "Funny, funny!" Lupin screamed. The crystal ball turned into a round grimace, and the funny expression made everyone laugh. This boggart paused, bewildered; Professor Mel shouted, "Alex, come forward!" Alex stepped forward, grimacing. Grimace walked around her. There was another popping sound, and where the grimace floated was now a bloodstained mummy wrapped in bandages; Its eyes, which had no vision, turned to Alex and began to walk towards her, slowly, slowly, shuffling, with its stiff arms raised...... "Funny funny!" Alex yelled. The bandages on the mummy's feet were untied; It stumbled from the loose bandages, its face fell forward, and its head rolled down. "Susan!" Professor Mel exclaimed. Susan hurriedly stepped over Alex. Smack, the place where the mummy stayed is now a woman, her black hair dragged all the way to the ground, a face with only a skeleton, and a female ghost. She opened her mouth wide. An inhuman voice filled the room, and a long, mournful cry creeped everyone's bones......
