"Oh, he's terrible...... Professor Lupin said sympathetically. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
This caused the class to burst into laughter, and Neville's face flushed with shame.
"Say, young man, it's not just Professor Snape who is scared...... Meet...... Neville, I suppose you live with your grandmother, right?"
"Oh...... Yes," Neville said nervously, "though...... I don't want Boggart to be like her. β
"No, no, you didn't understand me," said Professor Lupin, now smiling, "I don't know, can you tell us what kind of clothes your grandmother usually wears?"
Neville seemed taken aback, but he said, "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...... green, usually ...... Sometimes a fox fur scarf is wrapped. β
"And the handbag, isn't it?" Professor Lupin encouraged him.
"A big red handbag. Neville said.
"Alright," said Professor Lupin, "can you trace these clothes in great detail, Neville?
"Yes. Neville replied blankly, clearly not knowing what was going to happen next.
"By the time Boggart bursts out of the closet, Neville, and when he sees you, it'll take on the form of Professor Snape. "What about you," said Lupin, "take up your wand...... Take it like this...... And yelling 'funny funny'...... And try to concentrate and think about your grandmother's clothes. If all goes well, Professor Boggart Snape will be forced to become a man wearing a hat with an old carver on his head, wearing a green coat and carrying a large red handbag. β
The class burst into laughter, the picture was too beautiful to forgive Van Lin's brain for not being able to make it up, Professor Snape replaced his black robes and changed them to ...... Changed to ......
Okay, Vanlin was a bit of a lack of imagination, but Neville was already about to start.
"Ready, Mr. Neville Longbottom......" Professor Lupin said, raising his hand, not seeing what spell he was chanting, a combination of a wandless spell and a silent spell, a lock-picking charm.
There was a flash of light in the keyhole above the wardrobe, and the door of the closet was bounced open like that.
Everyone stepped back, to the wall, to make room for Neville to stand alone by the closet. Na Cheng's face was pale. Beech was scared, but he had rolled up the sleeves of his robe and held his wand.
There was a squeak from the door, and a pale palm came out of the crack in the door, and Neville swallowed nervously, and Van Lin could clearly see Neville's Adam's apple moving.
The wardrobe doors are all open. Professor Snape, with a hooked nose and a threatening expression, stepped out, staring at Neville with blazing eyes.
Nacheng stepped back, his wand raised, his mouth stammering, speechless. Snape pressed at him menacingly, reaching into his robes.
βRid...... Ridikulus!" Neville screamed.
There was a noise, like the sound of a whip. Professor Snape stumbled over his figure, wearing a long, lace-embroidered gown, a top hat with an old moth-eaten carver on top of it, and a large scarlet handbag dangling in his hand.
Suddenly, the laughter remembered, this is so funny, you can't imagine that the Great Demon of Snape in their eyes has become an old lady's outfit, even if it is a Boggart, but this is enough for Van Lin to laugh.
"Very good...... Professor Lupin waved his hand, he looked a little excited and turned around, "we need some music......
The Boggart paused, bewildered, and Professor Lupin shouted, "Parvati, come forward!"
Parvati stepped forward, grimacing. Snape walked around her. There was another crack, and where Snape had stood was now a bloodied mummy wrapped in bandages, its unsighted eyes turned to Parvati and began to walk towards her, slowly, slowly, shuffling, stiff arms raised, and he headed towards Parvati......
"Ridikulus!" shouted Parvati.
The bandages on the mummy's feet were untied, and it stumbled from the loose bandages, its face fell to the ground forward, and its head rolled down.
"Very good, Seamus...... It's your turn......" called Professor Lupin, too lazy to be satisfied that his students had been able to overcome their fears.
Seamus hurriedly stepped forward over Parvati.
The place where the mummy stayed was now a woman, her black hair dragged all the way to the ground, and a face with only a skeleton, and a green and gloomy ...... A female ghost. She opened her mouth wide. An inhuman voice filled the room, a long, mournful cry that sent the creeps out of Harry......
"Ridikulus!" exclaimed Seamus.
The female ghost made a tearing sound, grabbed her throat, and her voice was gone.
The female ghost turned into a mouse, spun around to find her tail, and then ...... Morph into a rattlesnake, slithering and twisting ...... And then...... Smack! It turned into a bloody eyeball again.
"It's already dazed!" Professor Lupin shouted, "We're one step ahead!" Ron!"
Ron jumped forward.
Several people screamed. A giant spider, six feet tall and covered in hair, was crawling towards Ron, dancing its hooks menacingly along the way. There was a moment of work. Harry felt Ron too scared to move. And then......
"Ridikulus!" Ron cried out with a shudder of displeasure.
With a pop, the spider had a roller slipper on each of its eight legs, which Ron had seen in Van Lin.
The spider lost its balance at once, it couldn't keep its eight legs on the ground, and the roller skates kept rubbing against the ground, and it could only let its stomach hit the ground.
"Very interesting, Ron...... "Professor Lupin called, "then the next one, Harry, you come!"
For a moment, both Van Lin and Professor Lupin stopped smiling, wondering what Harry was fearing.
However, Harry didn't notice it at all, he thought it was funny, in fact he really didn't know what he was afraid of, he high-fived Ron excitedly, everyone was cheering, and it was very lively, as if the final exam had been cancelled.
Harry pulled out his wand and the crowd scattered as Harry stood still in front of Boggart.
