Chapter 21: Daphine's Fear (I)

"So," said Professor Lupin, seeing that everyone was ready, "will you follow me?"

The whole class was so excited that they stood up and walked out of the classroom with Professor Lupin.

Seeing that Hermione looked tired, Daphany sighed and took a small bottle of potion from her purse and handed it to Hermione.

"What is this?" Hermione took the potion suspiciously and asked in a low voice.

"Energizing potion that can restore energy. There will be no side effects if used within 24 hours of using less than three bottles. If you take three or more bottles, you will feel very tired after the effect of the medicine, and the effect of the medicine will be shortened. Daphany explained.

Hermione's eyes lit up. This is a medicine that I learned in the second grade, but it is difficult to boil and belongs to the non-examination category.

"Thank you!" Hermione smiled happily, opened the potion and drank it down. The sweet taste makes the throat very pleasant. A cool sensation flowed from the throat and traveled throughout the body. Hermione shuddered, and suddenly felt refreshed, and her whole body seemed to be exhausted.

Vitality Potions do not restore mana, but they can restore physical strength and make people feel refreshed. It works just right for a tired Hermione.

Seeing Hermione regain her senses, Daphany smiled helplessly. She was sure to talk to Hermione about the time-turner after class.

No one paid attention to the small movements of the two. Including Lupin, who led them down the corridor where there was no one and turned a corner. There, the first thing they saw was Peeves the Poltergeon, floating head down in the air, shoving gum into his nearest keyhole.

Lupin then calmly uses a little magic to teach Peeves who taunted him a lesson. The latter fled in a hurry, and the students who had already had a good impression of the professor because of rumors in other grades and classes suddenly became even more favorable.

"Awesome, sir!" Andy Thomas even marveled at it.

"Thanks for the compliment, Mr. Thomas." Lupin smiled slightly, then put away his wand. I led the students all the way to the door of the faculty lounge.

Opening the door, the students rushed in, only to find Snape in the room. As the students entered, he was looking left and right as if looking for something. When he saw the students and Lupin coming in, his eyes flashed, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a mocking smile.

Isn't there a class for this thing? Daphany was a little surprised. The professor of each subject in the college is required to teach seven grades at the same time. Although the 6th and 7th grade enrichment classes are small, the time is still very tight.

"No need to close the door, Lupin." Seeing Professor Lupin slam the door, Snape sneered, "I guess I'm not going to watch it." In fact, I have other things to do. As he spoke, he walked straight in front of the students. When he reached the door, he suddenly stopped and turned back and said, "A heartfelt suggestion for you, Lupin." I don't know if anyone has spoken to you, but Mr. Neville Longbottom is in this class. Personally, I would advise you not to let him do anything slightly complicated, unless Miss Lestranzi or Miss Granger is directing him step by step. ”

Although due to Daphne's presence, Snape's venom sprayed directly into Neville was much less than it originally was. But Neville, who was always clumsy, still carried the venom second only to Harry and Ron, so he was still quite afraid of Snape. As you can see, his face is flushed at this time.

Harry and Ron stared at Snape fiercely, not expecting him to say the same thing about Neville in front of the other professors. But Snape didn't care about their gaze.

Lupin raised his eyebrows and smiled slightly, "Really?" I'm very optimistic about Neville. In fact, I'm going to have him as my assistant in the first phase of practice. As he spoke, he smiled and looked at Neville, "And, I'm sure he's doing a good job." ”

Neville's face turned redder, this time because of excitement. But because it's already very popular, it's not very obvious.

Snape snorted, turned and went out, slamming the door shut. Daphany watched it all with interest. Snape was always superior to Lupin. In fact, he just looked down on Lupin, who was a werewolf, or a wolf slave. But Dafanie wondered what Snape would think if he knew that he might not be Lupin's opponent at all.

"Now, in this way," Lupin smiled at the students as Snape left, then beckoned the class to the end of the common room. There was nothing there, only an old wardrobe, where the faculty kept their surplus robes. Professor Lupin walked over to the closet and stood still, the closet suddenly swayed and slammed against the wall.

The students were startled, but then stared at the cabinet with interest.

"Don't worry," Lupin said pleased that the students quickly calmed down: "There's a Boggart in there." ”

Daphany and the others have long known that today's lesson is Boggart, but there are also some students who don't know. After all, there are not many students who have a good relationship with other branches. Most of them still have a better relationship with the students in their own branches, even if they are not in the same grade.

However, although they didn't know before, some students still showed nervous expressions when they heard Boggart's name. Many children from a family of magicians know this kind of monster that likes to scare people.

"Boggart likes dark, enclosed spaces," says Professor Lupin, "the wardrobe, the space under the bed, the cupboard under the sink — once I came across an old clock hidden in my grandfather's clock." This one had moved in the afternoon before yesterday, and I asked the principal if the faculty could leave it alone and give my third-graders some hands-on opportunities. So, my first question is, what is a Boggart?"

Hermione was the first to raise her hand without surprise.

"A shape-shifting monster!" After receiving an indication from Professor Lupin, Hermione said, "It can be presented as whatever it thinks will scare us the most." In a sense, it can read thoughts to a certain extent. But only in terms of fear. ”17

"It's great, I don't think I could have said it better." Lupin approving.

Hermione smiled smugly, the little lions were honored, and the little snakes were unimpressed.

Lupin continued to laugh and say, "So, in the closet, the Boggart sitting in the dark has not yet been presented as any image. It doesn't know what scares the people outside the door. No one knows what Boggart looks like when he's alone, but when I release it, it immediately becomes the thing that each of us fears the most. This means that we have a huge advantage over Boggart before we start. Have you found that advantage, Harry? ”

Harry was one of the few students who knew about today's lesson, so he prepared the lesson in advance: "Yes professor, because we are so numerous, Boggart doesn't know what to change!" ”

"Exactly!" Lupin nodded: "If you want to deal with Boggart, the best way 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. ”

At this, there was a chuckle among the students, as if they had thought of the scene.

Lupin also smiled and continued, "The spell to repel 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 whole class, whether it was the Lion Courtyard or the Snake Courtyard, all chanted in unison.

"Well, this spell doesn't follow hand movements, but it's not that simple. Instead, spells are the simplest part. Professor Lupin said, then looked at Neville, "Neville, now on, I need your help. ”

"Me? I got it? Neville looked at the slightly shaky wardrobe, shaking more than the wardrobe.

"Of course," Lupin smiled and nodded, motioning for Neville to step forward. Neville was like going to the gallows. However, Lupin didn't care too much, and smiled slightly: "Okay, Neville, now, first thing, you say, what are you most afraid of in the world?" ”

Nacheng's lips moved, but he couldn't make a sound.

"I didn't hear you, I'm sorry, Nacheng." Professor Lupin said with a smile.

Nacheng looked eagerly around, as if begging someone to help him, and then said in a low voice like a whisper, "Professor Snape." ”

Almost everyone burst out laughing, and the Slytherin snakes laughed very happily. Even Neville himself grinned apologetically.

Professor Lupin couldn't help but laugh dumbly, shook his head, and said, "Professor Snape, well, he does sometimes be quite fierce. But that's okay! Let me think about it, well, Neville, you're living with your grandmother, right? ”

"Oh...... Yes," Neville said nervously, "but I don't want Boggart to be like her." ”

"No, no, you didn't understand me," Professor Lupin said with a smile, "I don't know, can you tell us what kind of clothes your grandmother usually wears?" ”

"Ah...... Yes. Neville thought for a moment before saying, "Hmm...... Always wear the same hat. It's the kind that is tall and has an old eagle specimen on top. She also wears a long women's dress...... The green ones are usually.. Sometimes a fox fur scarf is wrapped. I used to have a red one, but recently I've started to like a purple one, which was given to me by my aunt. ”

"And handbags, aren't they?" Professor Lupin encouraged him to continue.

"Well, it's a small purple bag now, and it's also from my aunt." Neville said.

"Oh, Britney's aesthetic should be very good, it's beautiful to think about." Professor Lupin said, "Can you trace these clothes in great detail, Neville?" Can you see the clothes in your head?"

"Yes." Neville replied blankly, clearly not knowing what was going to happen next.

"By the time Boggart comes out of the closet, Neville, and when it sees you, it's going to look like you're scared." Lupin smiled lightly and said, "What about you, you don't need to move to pick up your wand...... Just shout the incantation 'Funny Funny' at this Boggart. When you shout the incantation, you try to concentrate and think about your grandmother's clothes. And then, if all goes well, the Boggart becomes, and the thing you're afraid of, might be broken into a, well, a hat with an old taxidermy on his head, and a long women's dress, still green. Then around the fox scarf, the person carrying the lady's kun bag. ”

The students in the class burst out laughing when they heard this. That wardrobe shook even more.

"If Neville succeeds, this Boggart may turn his attention to each and every one of you." "Now, I want each of you to take a moment to think about what you're most afraid of, and then imagine how you can force it to look ridiculous......"

The room was quiet and everyone was thinking about what they were afraid of.

Daphany was also wondering, what was she afraid of? Dimensional power?
