Chapter 105: The Failed Boggart
Professor Lupin was dressed in a shabby robe, carrying a broken suitcase, and had oily hair, only slightly better than Snape.
"Good afternoon, I'm sure you've heard that today is a practical class."
beckoned, and everyone followed him, to a long-abandoned classroom on the fifth floor. Pushing open the door, the inside was cleaned up and tidy.
It was empty, only a constantly shaking wardrobe resting on the floor.
"So you all know what you're going to face today......
"Boggart!"
A Hufflepuff student replied.
"That's right, Boggart." Professor Lupin nodded, "It's a shape-shifting magical creature that turns into whatever it thinks scares you the most." ”
"However, the Boggart, hiding in the dark, has no form, and we can't observe what it is."
"But just let it out, and it will become what you fear the most......"
"And then, hurt you."
Professor Lupin's tone became serious.
"Boggart can be fragile or brutal, it all depends on what you fear the most."
"The most horrific Boggart attack ever recorded was when a wizard was traveling two hundred years ago when he encountered a Boggart, which turned into a giant dragon that could be seen from several kilometers away."
"Unfortunately, there was a group of Muggles holding a gathering there, and the dragon was exposed to the Muggles."
"For this reason, the Ministry of Magic has had to send a lot of manpower to erase the memories of these Muggles."
"Of course, this is an extremely rare case, and it only takes a simple burlesque charm to deal with Boggart."
"The real difficulty is whether you can use the burlesque charm."
knocked on the closet, and the Boggart inside made a lot of noise.
"All right, gentlemen and ladies, take out your wands and remember the mantra of the Funny Charm, 'Funny Funny.'" Professor Lupin said, "Lined up, one by one, facing the Boggart. ”
"Don't be afraid, be strong in your will and turn it from what you fear the most into something funny."
Everyone lined up obediently, the first one was Stewart, who managed to grab the front, and Ike was in the middle.
"Mr. Acreel, right? It seems that I am not mistaken. Professor Lupin patted Stewart on the shoulder, "Now can you tell me what you think scares you the most?" ”
"Cockroaches, Professor."
"Cockroaches?" Professor Lupin said, "So, what do you have to do with this cockroach to find it ridiculous?" ”
"I'd be very happy if it was beaten around with a broom."
"Well done, remember that." Professor Lupin had Stewart stand in front of the closet while he stood aside, wand in hand.
"Also, don't forget the spell of the burlesque spell!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a string of sparks flashed, and a giant cockroach about a meter in size crawled out of the closet, causing the group of little witches behind to let out a piercing scream.
The giant cockroach shook its tentacles and walked towards Stewart step by step. Stewart's hand shook a little, he swallowed, and his wand was aimed at the cockroach and shouted, "Funny funny! ”
The white light on the tip of the rod flashed, and the cockroach's body shook violently, as if it had been hit by something, and it rolled in place quickly.
It rolled faster and smaller, until it was only the size of a palm, and he fell to the ground on all fours, with three yellow birds spinning around on top of his head.
Ike looked at the black line in the back, isn't this the scene that sometimes happens when Tom hits the wall in Cat and Mouse?
Some Muggle-born wizards were stunned for a moment, then remembered as well, and burst into laughter. The cockroach immediately stopped, and the bird on its head stopped turning.
"It's confused!" Professor Lupin smiled and said, "Next, up!" ”
Stewart quickly flashed to the side, and Michael stepped forward. The cockroach immediately turned over and pounced on him, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into a zombie covered in carrion and blood.
"Funny funny!"
Another flash of white light flashed, and the zombie's head had an extra road cone, and his clothes turned into pink princess dresses, and his feet seemed to be stirred, and he fell face down straight to the ground.
"Next!"
For a few minutes, everyone confronted Boggart one by one and turned it into one ridiculous thing after another.
Ike is an eye-opener, with centaurs with their limbs caught in rat traps, female ghosts with their heads covered in plastic bags, and skeletons with pink bones all over their bodies, and even sprinkled with colorful sequins.
Slowly, the people in front of Ike succeeded, and it was finally his turn.
The previous man had just turned Boggart into a lion running after his tail, and the moment Ike stepped forward, Boggart suddenly stopped, turning into a black mist that swirled wildly in place.
"Squeak, squeak"
There was a strange noise in the black mist, and it also spun faster, but it didn't change into a concrete form for a long time.
Everyone looked at the black mist a little strangely, and Professor Lupin was also puzzled. Ike was a little puzzled at first, but then it dawned on him, and he immediately performed the Occlumencion Technique, imagining it in his mind.
"Smack!"
With a soft sound, an ordinary brown paper bag fell to the ground. The mouth of the bag was open, and the inside was empty.
"Funny funny!"
Ike waved his wand, and the paper bag instantly turned pink, with a unicorn on top of it.
"Next!" Professor Lupin glanced at Ike, shook his head slightly, and called out to the students behind him.
As soon as they stood aside, Stewart and the others surrounded him.
"That's the bag you put in the cockroach pile! Definitely! Stewart put one hand around Ike's neck, and with the other hand Terry and the others began to ravage its hair, "You guy, why are you afraid of not having a cockroach pile!" ”
Ike dodged and almost broke free, but Terry and Michael held him left and right, leaving Stuart and Anthony to do whatever they wanted, and had to beg for mercy again and again.
After a moment of playing, a few people stopped, and then watched as the others turned the boggart into all sorts of funny things.
Ike smiled in his mouth, but kept thinking about it in his heart. He knew very well that the swirling black mist just now was a sign that Boggart couldn't be sure what he was afraid of, and that it was exploring what Ike was most afraid of. But under a force majeure, Boggart had no way of knowing.
Squinting his eyes slightly, Ike's attention fell on a line of words on the waste notepad system:
