257. Enemies in all eyes
McGoth easily scored five points again, and the little wizards of Hufflepuff House with them were not to be outdone, and one by one took turns to say the answer, and one of them was right, judging from his confused and happy expression, it should have been guessed, but Lupin still added five points for them.
After returning to the crowd, the young wizards of their academy asked him what he said, but when he was about to say the answer, he found that his mouth could not be opened, and everyone guessed that this was Lupin's warning to them, and they calmed down the idea of scoring points.
"Then follow me to meet this mysterious creature of black magic."
With that, he pushed open the door to the faculty lounge.
The faculty lounge was a temporary place for professors to rest, but McGoth felt that this was redundant, they all had their own offices, and very few professors stayed here.
And the layout of this lounge is very unreasonable, there is not a single window on all sides, which looks very oppressive and gloomy. The tables and chairs around are old and not yet matched. A huge wardrobe towered on the far right, and there were some magic robes that had been left unattended for an unknown amount of time on the side of it, and I don't know why no one had put them in the closet, which made the little wizards who were used to the cleanliness of the school a little uncomfortable.
When all the students were inside, Lupin closed the door. Then let them all gather in front of the big closet.
"That dark magic creature is in this cupboard?" Everyone thought of this, and they all looked at it nervously.
Suddenly, the wardrobe may have sensed their gaze and suddenly shook, hitting the wall behind it, making a thumping sound.
The little wizards were frightened and took several steps back, leaving only Lupin at the front.
"Now let's find out what this dark magic creature is."
"Miss Granger, since you were the first to guess it, why don't you be the first to face it?" Lupin said to Hermione, who was standing in the crowd.
Hermione nodded nervously, then walked over to Lupin.
"Don't worry. You should know that as long as you don't fear it, try to imagine it as something that will make you laugh. ”
"The spell against it is simple, funny, you try to repeat it."
Lupin's words didn't hide from the little wizards around him, and most of them, except for a few students who didn't read much, guessed what would be inside.
"Boggart?"
"It could be it. I heard that it has no attack power, so it can only rely on scary. ”
"Forget it, my mom said it could become the thing we fear the most, don't be scared to cry."
Lupin clapped his hands as Hermione became familiar with the spell, confirmed that it was Boggart, and then told them about the funny spell so that they could all familiarize themselves with it, and then Hermione would come up and face it one by one.
"Normally, what the Boggart has turned into is only visible to those who meet it, but then the lesson will be boring, so I'm going to use the Transfiguration Charm on the students who go up there, so that not only myself but others can see what you're afraid of. If you really don't want to be known to others, you can refuse to face Boggart, and that's fine, but I recommend that you don't do it, everyone's fear changes with age, don't be afraid that others will know your fear, in fact, you have already overcome half of it. ”
These words frightened some of the little wizards to the back of the crowd, while others were eager to hurry up and get their turn.
"Ready? Miss Granger. ”
"Alright, alright." Hermione clenched her wand and stared at her closet, ready to cast a spell at any moment.
"What you need to face it is not the speed and power of the spell, but not to let fear dictate your judgment." Lupin spoke, then pulled out his wand and pointed it at the closet door.
"Alaho Cave Open!"
The door to the wardrobe opened suddenly, and Hermione and the little wizards behind her subconsciously held their breath and waited for what was about to come out.
They barely had to wait, and within a second or two of the door opening, it was Professor McGonagall, or rather an imposter identical to Professor McGonagall, who came out of the closet.
However, Hermione's fear of Professor McGonagall causing a bit of a commotion was something that no one expected.
"Professor McGonagall." Lupin smiled and looked at the people who came out,
"She actually cares a lot about her students, Miss Granger."
"Miss Hermione Granger." Professor McGonagall, who was a fake Boggart, looked at Hermione sternly.
"You're failing all your classes."
Hermione's charm froze when she heard this, and she took a step back in fright as she watched Professor McGonagall pull out a transcript with all grades of T.
"Looks like our Miss Granger is scared of failing the course." Lupin watched Hermione be frightened and walked around her, which made the approaching Boggart go around to him.
"So how do we deal with this fear?"
"Miss Granger, you should be more confident, even if I first came to Hogwarts, I have heard of your name, and no professor denies your intelligence, so if this happens, your first thought is not to fear, but to doubt, maybe it is not you who is wrong, but the subject."
Lupin's words brought Hermione back to her senses, and she looked at Professor McGonagall's expression and the transcript in her hand, and although she was still scared, there was a flash of doubt in her eyes.
"Funny funny!" Hermione's wand pointed at Professor McGonagall.
Professor McGonagall suddenly floated into the sky, then shifted like plasticine. Finally, it turns into a monster book and runs around on the ground.
"Looks like our Miss Granger thinks the monster book is funny." Lupin clapped her heavily.
Looking at the monster book running around on the ground, Hermione's face turned a little red, and she stepped aside and whispered.
"I didn't think it was funny."
"Next one, please."
After a successful case, the young wizards in the back were in high spirits and rushed to face Boggart.
Lupin assists them, and finds anyone who is frightened by Boggart's transformation and will come to their aid.
In the midst of laughter, it was the turn of McGoss, who was standing at the back.
He walked to the closet a little nervously. To be honest, he didn't know what he feared the most, he used to be afraid of ghosts like Simodian, but he had faced Sadako in Japan, so this can be removed.
Maybe I'm afraid of going bankrupt? He thought. But he didn't think he was afraid of this, because he felt that his family was really bankrupt, and he was sure that he would soon become a rich man again.
"Are you ready?"
He clenched his wand and nodded.
Lupin opened the door to the closet again with the door opening charm.
Soon out of the closet was actually ...... Hermione with hostility and hatred on her face.
Hermione was a little surprised, she didn't expect that McGoth was afraid of her, and why did she have such an expression?
McGoth couldn't believe it, what was she afraid of Hermione? It's completely illogical, isn't it, are you afraid that Hermione will still be a couple with Ron? He couldn't help but think about it.
But soon he won't have to think about the mess. Because after Hermione came out, a figure appeared behind her again, it was Harry, and his expression was equally hostile and hateful.
Looking at this scene, his brows furrowed, this beginningless and endless really made him unable to understand.
Harry's appearance was not the end, but the beginning, and soon after him came Ron, the Twins, Draco, Kang, etc., and all the little wizards with whom Magos had a good relationship appeared.
Magos's heart was a little heavy, they were too similar, and their expressions were the same, the little wizards around him were already a little frightened, Harry and Ron Hermione were looking at him worriedly, and Lupin also had a puzzled expression.
If it was just these little wizards, Magos felt that although he felt uncomfortable, he could still defeat it.
However, what frightened him was that after the young wizards appeared, adult wizards began to appear, including Quirrell, Snape, McGonagall, Flitwick and other school professors, and then other wizards he knew, including the adventure wizard who once gave him a basilisk fang, and finally Dumbledore.
Seeing all the wizards he knew looking at him with that expression, Magos began to step back with fear on his face, one step at a time, one step at a time, three steps at a time.
"What's going on? Professor. Hermione asked, looking at Magos worriedly.
