Chapter 672: Boggart's True Body

In the wizarding world, there have been many unsolved mysteries about magical creatures since ancient times. They are either unreachable, dangerous, and invisible, or even invisible.

Dementors, for example, are dark magical creatures that are usually three meters tall and wear a black broken cloak with a hood.

Throughout history, many amazing biologists have wondered what it looks like under their cloaks. But everyone knows that just getting close to them will suck away all happiness and beauty, and may even devour the soul.

As far as modern wizards know, there is no more effective way to get out of these terrifying monsters than the Patronus Charm to ward off them, let alone study them in detail.

Similar to the mystery of the Dementors' true body is the Boggart.

It is said that until now, no one has actually seen what Boggart actually looks like. Because every time they meet any kind of creature, they will detect the fear in the other person's heart at the first time, and instantly change into the thing that the other person is most afraid of.

Maca was "lucky" to have seen the true appearance under the Dementor cloak, but even he had never seen what Boggart's body looked like.

But today, just outside the window of the first-year Defence Against the Dark Arts classroom, Maca was actually blessed by a new student who had only entered Hogwarts this year, and saw Boggart's true face clearly!

At this moment, Maca, who had just hurried over from the history of magic class, saw through the windowglass that the young wizards in the Defence Against the Dark Arts classroom were still screaming, and even Snape at the back of the podium did not immediately stop their noise.

On the right hand side of the lectern in front of the classroom, a large box was resting on the ground. There, a big-footed monster in an earthy rag stood motionless in the box, holding its black palm aloft and froze in place.

As for the student standing in front of the box, I saw him firmly stretching out his right arm. He pointed his wand straight at the monster in front of him, apparently having just cast some kind of spell.

Although he could only see the back of the new student from Maca's side, he could recognize it at a glance - it seemed to be Alexander Wolfe, who had led him into the wizarding world.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Oh! What kind of spell did Alexander use just now? ”

"Don't worry about the spell, this is the real body of Boggart!"

"Doesn't the book say that no one knows what it looks like? What about this...... Is it what it really looks like? ”

"Who knows? Maybe Alexander finally changed something he feared the most? ”

"But this is ...... What kind of monster is this? What's scary? ”

Except for the first time, when Snape used a curtain to block the view of the others, leaving the students alone to face Boggart, he didn't do anything more from the second time onwards. So, as the number of times they dealt with Boggart gradually increased, everyone slowly remembered what others were afraid of.

In Snape's opinion, this was done because after the initial lesson, everyone would definitely communicate with each other after the lesson. But he also thinks that letting the little wizards joke and compare with each other is more beneficial to get rid of their inner fear as soon as possible.

In this regard, Snape's approach was successful, but even he did not expect that there would be students who would be able to solve problems with spells other than the Boggart Expulsion Charm. Not only that, but even the Gryffindor student in front of him actually forced out Boggart's real body!

"Oblivion?" Snape pressed down the shock in his heart and said coldly, "Mr. Wolf, why did you use the second-year spell?" Have you already mastered all the content of the first grade? ”

Although he had a little bit of admiration - yes, it was really just a little bit! But he wasn't surprised that the first-year students were using second-year spells.

Therefore, he was still full of disdain for what Alexander had done, and in his opinion, it was just a stroke of luck.

A first-year student solves a world-class puzzle? Who is this fooling!

"Bang!"

Snape picked up his wand from the podium and slammed the Boggart back into the box, the lid slamming shut.

However, in many cases, this is the case. Maybe Alexander relied on luck, or maybe he got the help of "certain people" from somewhere, but now the person who solved the mystery of Boggart's real identity is Alexander Wolf.

Snape glanced at the window with some hesitation, and he saw Maca standing there.

Maca was immediately aware of the gaze aimed at her. When he saw Snape's subtle eyes, he immediately waved his hand, indicating that it had absolutely nothing to do with him.

Snape pursed his lips in disbelief.

As Snape looked at the window several times, the young wizards in the classroom naturally discovered Maca's existence.

Now, in the nonsense of the seniors, many of the freshmen who have been exposed to Maca's various deeds have become Maca's supporters. When they saw Marka standing outside the window, many of the students couldn't help but greet him, even ignoring Snape's murderous eyes.

Watching from the window, Maca nodded to them, smiled at Snape, and then looked at Alexander.

At this moment, Alexander also turned to follow everyone's gaze, and when he saw Maca behind the windowpane, he immediately looked quite excited.

For him, Maca is a very special existence. Maca has both the friendship that led him into the wizarding world, and the grace of saving his father, coupled with Maka's legendary past, which makes him look forward to it, so he naturally becomes Maca's most loyal supporter.

As soon as he saw Maca, Alexander waved his hand excitedly - but he hadn't seen each other in a while.

Maca looked at Alexander, then at the monster standing in the box, and after a moment's thought, turned and walked towards the front door of the classroom.

"Clickβ€”"

With the turn of the doorknob, the door was gently pushed open from the outside.

"Professor Snape, excuse me."

Maca and Snape had always had a good relationship, and even during the most tense periods of their relationship, they never fell out. Now that Marca opened the door and entered, Snape just nodded blankly and didn't react again.

But Marka knew that Snape had always liked to be cold in front of his students, and that the two of them had been casual with each other at other times.

"Hello everyone...... I'm Marka McLean, the professor of ancient magic," he said, but quickly shook his head and smiled, "Well, even though you won't be exposed to my electives until you are in third year, it seems like everyone already knows about me......"

His words made the little wizards in the classroom laugh. As for the atmosphere that Snape had created, with the accidents in today's class, it had finally completely disappeared at this moment.

Behind the podium, Snape looked at the scene in the classroom with a cold face, and couldn't help but snort softly.

"Okay, it's still class time after all, and I'm not here to amuse everyone! It's all quietβ€”" Maca quickly pressed her hand, then turned her head to look to her side, "Alexander, you used the Oblivion Charm when dealing with Boggart just now?" ”

"Uh...... Yes, McKellen first...... Oh, Professor. When Alexander saw him asking, he quickly replied.

"I won't ask why you used the second-year spell, you must have practiced a lot of hard work......," Maka said, "I want to know, why did you think of using the Oblivion Charm against the Boggart?" You know, Boggart's true nature has always been a big question in the wizarding world. ”

"This ......" Alexander was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then scratched the back of his head and said with a slight smile, "Actually, I didn't expect this to make it reveal its true body...... It's just that I can't deal with the Boggart all the time, and I can see that everyone is slowly able to use the Boggart Expulsion Charm to solve it correctly, so I wonder if I can use other spells......"

"Can't you use the Boggart Exorcism Charm?" Maca paused and said thoughtfully, "Oh, isn't it...... Boggart became your mom? ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ of the remains. Alexander hesitantly added, showing that he still couldn't let go of the heavy emotions that had been suppressed in his heart.

"Okay, I get it in general." "You use the Oblivion Charm to continuously expel Boggart's memories so that you can't remember what you're afraid of. Since you only need to clear very few fragments of memory, you will be able to successfully subdue it with the Oblivion Charm at your current level...... Is that so? ”

"Yes, that's right!" Alexander nodded repeatedly, "Just like you said!" ”

"Very good idea," said Maca, turning back to Snape, "I suggest adding some points to Gryffindor House...... What do you think, Professor Snape? Seriously, it's a nice find! ”

"Huh? Tsk......" Snape smacked his tongue and said impatiently, "add it yourself." ”

Hearing this, Maca couldn't help but shrug her shoulders, and then turned around and said, "So, because of Mr. Wolfe's interesting discovery, he earned five points for Gryffindor...... In addition, I will write this discovery along with Mr. Wolfe's name and send it to Mr. Newt Scamander. I believe that when the next edition of "Monsters and Their Origins" comes out, this discovery will be known to the whole world. ”

"All right, I'm going to bother me no more......" he said with a final wave of his hand, "Miss Sarah Hohenheim, please come to my office after lunch, if you have time." ”
