Chapter 60: The Boggart and the Stargazers
The passage was narrow and cramped, and the three of them walked in a row.
"Where the hell are you going here?"
Neville became more and more frightened as he went, and if it weren't for John behind him, he would have wanted to go back.
John casually said, "A haunted house." ”
"Huh?"
Hearing that it was a haunted house, Neville stopped.
John patted him on the back and said, "Don't worry, isn't it me?" ”
Neville was tempted to say that even you were scary, but Luna said as if singing, "There are ghosts in Hogwarts, too, aren't they?" ”
Of the three, Neville seems to be the only one who is afraid, which makes Neville hate his cowardice.
He mustered up the courage to keep going, and at last he walked through the passage and came to a house.
It was a messy, gray room.
The wallpaper was peeling, the floor was stained, the furniture was all broken, as if it had been smashed, and the windows were sealed with wooden boards.
It looked exactly like a haunted house, and the peeling wallpaper looked like something terrible had torn it apart.
It's chilling.
John felt that Luna was getting closer to him, and he forgot that he didn't need lights with the Daredevil's blessing, and Luna was different.
"Fluorescent Flashing (Lumos)"
The wand glows and makes people feel safe.
The house was dark, and John wanted to exercise Neville, so he said, "Let's take a look separately." ”
Neville swallowed, looking at the eerie atmosphere of the house, and he plucked up the courage to walk over.
John saw him pass, and he looked at it himself.
The house has been abandoned for a long time, and it is not difficult to see some luxurious style in the dilapidated furniture inside.
John pushes open a wooden door, which creaks from a wooden door that has fallen into disrepair.
Luna walked in curiously, there was no fear in her eyes, this strange girl had trusted John after only a day of acquaintance.
"It looks like a kitchen with a tree outside."
Through the cracks in the nailed planks, the shadows of the swaying trees can be seen outside.
The faint-hearted may not stay here for long.
"We're going to Neville Longbottom, he should be scared."
Luna always saw through a person clearly, and John thought about it, too, it might not be a friendly place for Neville.
Turned around and went to look for Neville, who had not yet been found.
John heard Neville's voice of fear.
"Professor Snape, I didn't mean to."
"No need to explain, Neville Longbottom, Gryffindor has been deducted 100 points because of you!"
Professor Snape's voice was grim, Gryffindor had been deducted 100 points for himself, and Neville couldn't imagine how he would be scolded by his classmates.
He clutched his head in fear, and Professor Snape approached him step by step.
John heard it from the outside and felt that something was wrong, even if Professor Snape liked to deduct points, he wouldn't do that.
100 points will be deducted, a penalty that only the president of the hospital will make.
It dawned on him that this Professor Snape might be a fake.
When Professor Snape tried to get closer to Neville, John kicked the door in.
"Stupefy"
The red light struck Professor Snape and sent him flying into the cabinet.
John's wand pointed at the other party and said calmly, "Who are you?" ”
"No, John, you're going to be expelled!"
Neville couldn't imagine that John would attack the professor, which scared him.
John stared at the Professor Snape.
When Professor Snape saw John, his body turned into a messy black shadow.
After a moment of spinning, a plate of freshly baked stargazing pies fell to the ground, and Professor Snape disappeared.
"What is this?"
Not to mention John, even Neville was stunned.
John saw the starry sky pie with the four dead fish heads stuck in the pie, and his face suddenly showed an uncomfortable expression.
The dark cuisine of the British Empire made him very uncomfortable.
"It's deformed, and it's in a dark place...... Is this the Boggart? ”
John remembered for a moment and remembered a magical creature.
"I remember Boggart going to be something that others were afraid of, Neville was afraid of Professor Snape, I can understand, but I was afraid of looking up to the stars?"
After a moment of silence, John stared at the pie and suddenly remembered that he was running Occlumency all the time.
Perhaps it's because of this that Boggart has become a dark dish that he hates.
He was speechless and glanced at the cupboard, where Boggart liked to be in the dark and cramped.
He walked up and kicked the Stargazer back into the cabinet, then waved his wand to lock the cabinet shut.
"Neville is fine, it's a boggart, what were you thinking about, how did you become Professor Snape."
John's face was strange, and while it was no secret that Neville was afraid of Professor Snape, it was a real scary thing to think of Snape in this environment.
Neville was embarrassed, and said, "I remembered the points I was deducted last year, and I thought that Professor Snape might be waiting from the room to deduct my points. ”
Well, it's hard for this kid too.
In the first year, he was caught and deducted points for informing Harry, which made him have a psychological shadow of the demerit.
But it's Professor McGonagall who deducts points, why would you think it's Professor Snape who is ambushing here.
John glanced at Luna, the girl didn't know the danger of things, she just thought Boggart was very funny and would turn into a fish pie.
"Well, it looks like that's the end of our adventure for the day."
It was getting dark outside, and there was a first-year here, so John decided that he might not be a bad guy and take someone on a night tour.
The trio returned along the passageway, and as they went out, Neville was nearly hit by Beater Willow.
John quickly dragged him back, and then stopped the beater.
Back in the castle, the three parted ways.
"Thank you John, today's adventure was interesting."
Luna was in a good mood and her voice was ethereal as if she was singing.
"If you're interested, there's a lot of fun going on inside Hogwarts."
John waved goodbye to Luna, and he was going to the Room of Requirement to train.
On the way to training, John thought of Neville.
"Maybe we can pick a better weapon for Neville."
This is the Gryffindor Juggernaut, the existence of a Horcrux slash with one sword.
John felt that if the Sword Master didn't use a sword, then what would it be called.
He found some materials, and they didn't need to be too detailed, just a rough sword shape.
With John's current level of alchemy and Gryffindor's forging, a sword can be completed in no time.
It's a lot rougher than the Iron Wick Sword, but it's a great workout tool for Neville.
The next morning, John sent Neville over.
Neville didn't know why, and John said meaningfully, "You said that there is a possibility, but in fact you are a sword master." ”
“?”
Neville was stunned and didn't know what to say, but John encouraged him to learn the sword and strive to become a sword master in the future.
Hermione was holding Lockhart's book and reading, and after one of Lockhart's lessons, she didn't give up, which made John admire Hermione's perseverance.
The fan girl filter is really scary, I hope she can see through Lockhart's true face as soon as possible.
After finishing breakfast, John went to class, and today there was his own headmaster's Potions class.
If you're late, you don't want to accept Professor Snape's death gaze.
"I've earned so many points, why does it feel like he's still so unkind to me."
John didn't understand Professor Snape, and even though he started to fight, it wouldn't make you hold a grudge for so long.
On the way, he meets Malfoy, who tells him to wait and see how he humiliates the Gryffindors on Saturday.
His dad sponsored the entire team Halo 2001, a broomstick that was more advanced than Porter's Halo 2000.
As for the garbage of the rest of Gryffindor, not to mention, the comet and the Sweep Seven Star series can't be cleaned when they are taken to the house to sweep the floor.
Malfoy seemed to see the day he led Slytherin to victory, which made John embarrassed to tell him that with Harry in his presence, it was a difficult dream.
Who makes the family the protagonist?
