"Okay, here it is. Professor Lupin said, motioning for the students to walk towards the other end of the room.

There was only an old wardrobe there, and the teachers kept their changing robes in it.

Professor Lupin walked over and stood next to the closet, which suddenly shook and thumped.

"Don't worry," Professor Lupin said calmly when he saw a few of his classmates jumping back in shock, "there's a boggart in there." ”

The classmates listened to what Lupin said, and they became even more uneasy.

Neville gave Professor Lupin a horrified look, and Seamus stared in horror at the rattling doorknob.

"Boggart likes dark and enclosed spaces," says Professor Lupin, "the wardrobe, the space under the bed, the cupboard under the sink, and once I came across a man who lived in an old clock." ”

"This one just moved in yesterday afternoon, and I begged Headmaster Dumbledore to keep it for your third-year students' lab class. ”

"If you read the textbook, you know that the boggart is a shape-shifting thing, and what it thinks scares us the most, it becomes. ”

Lupin pointed to the crumbling wardrobe and said, "At this time, the Boggart in this dark cabinet has no specific shape. It is only when it gets close to a person that it can feel what that person fears most, even the deepest fears that you may not even be aware of. ”

"We're going to learn how to beat the Boggart, and while it shows what a person fears the most, it's not difficult to overcome it. ”

"Miss Granger, you know what?"

Hermione recited the standard answer: "Defeating the Boggart first requires great mental strength, absolutely no panic, and secondly, a very simple spell. What really makes Boggart completely finished is laughter, and what is needed is to force it into an image that he thinks is funny. ”

"Yes, the spell is simple, but you have to concentrate and keep the fear to a minimum, otherwise it won't work," Lupin said. ”

"Come, follow me and say a mantra, funny. ”

"Funny funny (=・ω・=)......" the students honestly read along.

"I can assure you that if you use this spell to defeat the Boggart once, you will never be afraid of it again. ”

"Alright, Neville, come first. ”

The wardrobe shook violently, and Neville trembled as he walked to the closet.

"Take Neville as an example, I will tell you how to do it, and the other students will have to face it for yourself and solve it yourself. ”

"Neville, what do you think you're most afraid of?"

Neville stole a glance at the doorway and said in a low voice, "Professor Snape." ”

Almost everyone laughed.

Professor Lupin said kindly, "Well, do you live with your grandmother?"

Neville nodded.

Lupin said, "Then you must remember very well what your grandmother usually wears." ”

Neville said, "Yes, she always wears a tall hat with a specimen of a vulture on it and a long dress...... Generally green...... Sometimes he wears a fox fur scarf......"

"Okay, okay, you have to keep these clothes in mind now...... Later, when Boggart becomes Professor Snape, you recite incantations and fantasize that Snape is wearing your grandmother's outfit, and you can even imagine Snape wearing a thick lipstick. ”

As if thinking of the hilarious image, Neville smiled.

The classmates retreated to the wall, leaving Neville alone by the closet.

His face was pale and he looked very frightened, but he had rolled up the sleeves of his robe and raised his wand to prepare.

Professor Lupin pointed his own wand at the doorknob of the closet and said, "Get ready, one, two, three, go!"

Professor Lupin's wand shoots a string of sparks from the tip of his wand, hitting the spherical doorknob.

The door to the closet slammed open.

Professor Snape, with his hooked nose, stepped out menacingly, his eyes glaring at Neville viciously.

It's exactly like the real Snape.

Neville stepped back, wand in hand, and Snape was about to stride in front of Neville.

Lupin couldn't help but make a move.

Neville finally shouted, "Funny funny......"

So everyone saw what women's clothing Snape was like.

With a burst of laughter, Snape looked at his changing body in a panic.

Lupin said, "Okay, go one by one, Parvati." ”

A nervous girl stepped forward.

Snape's expression was vicious, and with a snap, he turned into a bloodstained, bandaged mummy.

Its blank face turned to Parvati, dragging its feet and slowly walking towards her, its stiff arms raised.

Parvati closed his eyes and shouted, "Funny funny." ”

The mummy's head fell to the ground and rolled around.

After that, the students stepped forward one by one.

Boggart transforms into a green female ghost, a bloody severed hand, a two-meter-tall spider, and a snake......

The Boggart was already in confusion, and it floated in front of Lupin.

It turned into a silvery-white ball, very bright, and around the silver ball, there was a black mist.

Lupin's hand tightened, but said nonchalantly, "Funny funny." ”

Boggart turned into a leaky balloon and spun around a few times before reaching Harry.

Where no one was looking, Lupin was more nervous than he was to face Boggart.

He didn't want Harry to face Boggart, but he found that Harry didn't need to be protected as he thought, and Lupin had talked to Dumbledore about Harry.

So, he wondered if Harry would be afraid of Voldemort?

Harry smiled, he didn't know what would become of Boggart, he had a vague anticipation.

Fear something, do I still have it?

Boggart turned into a puff of black smoke and condensed into a figure.

"This ......," Hermione looked at in surprise as Boggart became.

Everyone was shocked.

Harry was also stunned for a moment, what does this mean?

In front of Harry stood another "Harry".

Boggart, who became "Harry", didn't make any moves, just stood quietly in front of Harry.

It seemed like that was what Harry was most afraid of.

It wasn't until a certain moment that "Harry" underwent a subtle change, and only Harry, who was face-to-face with Boggart, was the first to notice.

Harry finally realized what "Harry" meant.

I see, Harry's eyes were cold.

With a slightly irritated wave of his hand, Boggart suddenly exploded, turning into a round-faced expression.

The round face is cute, the corners of the mouth are arrogant but not coquettish, the slightly reddened cheeks make people feel infinitely warm, the eyes are full of joy and make people think about it, and the eyebrows are raised lightly and the merit and fame are hidden.

Something like this: (ಡωಡ)

That's right, Harry turned it into a funny face.

Now it's true to its name, it's funny.

Everyone looked at this expression, and the corners of their mouths rose slightly without them realizing it.

It's an expression that makes everyone smile from the bottom of their hearts, far more powerful than laughter.

As a result, the Bogut exploded, turning into countless puffs of smoke and disappearing.

"It looks like Boggart has been eliminated. Professor Lupin said lightly: "Everyone is doing well, and the class was a success." Homework, read the chapter on Boggart, and summarize it in simple words, Monday, that's all. ”

The students chatted happily and left the faculty lounge.

Only Hermione sulked: "I don't know what I'm most afraid of." ”

"By the way, what did you say was the crystal ball that appeared in front of Professor Lupin? Professor Lupin was afraid of that kind of thing, Harry, Harry!"

Harry was a little distracted and said, "I don't know. ”

Hermione thought back to that scene again, thoughtfully: "That seems to be ......"

......
