Chapter 119: Capturing Dementors and Abstract Boggart
A week after the start of the semester, Professor Lupin's superb teaching standards have been unanimously praised by the whole school.
Everyone secretly applauded Neville's decision to put Professor Boggart Snape in women's clothing.
The price was several times more than Neville had been scolded in Potions class, and Professor Snape was always staring at Neville with his sinister and ill-intentioned gaze.
Almost all of the points added to Defence Against the Dark Arts class were deducted by Professor Snape.
John did his homework brilliantly, adding a lot of marks to Slytherin on a daily basis.
His excellence was evident to all, and Professor Snape's attitude towards him was getting better and better.
Heinrich's various departments are also very good, but the popularity is not very good.
Except for John, he looked down on all the others.
He exudes an aura that no one can enter, and his sickly face is like that of a vampire, and he never hesitates to cast evil spells on those who speak ill of him.
Slytherin's points were deducted a bit as a result, but it made Slytherin's secret rejoicing.
When a person is bullied, perhaps he will resent it.
But when a group of people are bullied, they feel normal.
Heinrich was a vampire known as Slytherin behind his back, and the twins often secretly added garlic essence to him.
The smell of gunpowder between the two became stronger and stronger, and once they fought directly in the Charms class.
Two-on-one, Heinrich did not fall behind, and in the end, it was Professor Flitwick who intervened to resolve the dispute between the three.
Night comes.
John quietly left the dormitory, and he left the castle quietly without going to the Room of Requirement.
Outside of the castle, Dementors roam and patrol.
John cast an illusion spell on himself, and although Dumbledore had said that these things were useless to the Dementors, it was the Dementors who were only able to sense emotions.
Happiness in particular, is the most delicious food for Dementors.
Running the Occlumency Technique, John sealed himself up, like a steel plate, without a trace of emotion going out, airtight.
A wandering Dementor is targeted by him, and John calculates the route the Dementor has taken, setting traps along his path.
The Dementor hadn't noticed it yet, wandering around slowly.
John appropriately opened a gap in his brain to stop the Dementors.
It smelled emotion, and after leaving Azkaban, it hadn't eaten for a long time, and the Dementors immediately approached in John's direction.
Seeing the Dementor approaching, John immediately closed his brain, and the wonderful smell disappeared, and the Dementor was a little puzzled, and it wandered around without giving up.
Soon, the Dementors arrived at the place where John had set the trap.
It was a box, and it looked so delicate and complicated, and it was just left out like that.
The Dementors approached, and seemed to have some suspicions hiding inside.
The moment I reached for it, the box opened.
There was a suction force from inside the empty box, and the Dementor seemed to be sucked by a vacuum cleaner, and its body was dragged into the box.
John stepped forward to close the box, and the dozen or so locks of the box clinked and locked, leaving the Dementors with no chance of escaping.
"It worked."
With a smile on his face, John casts a levitation charm on the box.
With the chest, he headed back to the castle.
This is a chest he made specially to catch the Dementors.
After completing his purpose, John travels to the Forbidden Forest, where he throws the chest into the Slytherin chamber.
The inside of the chamber had been transformed, and books about souls were floating in the air, and John reached out and brushed one over.
The pages on it flipped through quickly, revealing a record of the Dementors.
"The Dementor itself is a halfway between the soul and the body, and it looks a bit like a ghost, but the ghost is not as powerful as it."
Staring at the book's account of Dementors, John touched the silver skull in the room and fell into deep thought.
"Bang dang."
There was a crashing sound in his ears, and he looked next to the box, where an old cupboard was placed.
An idea popped into his head, what would it become if Boggart was to encounter a Dementor?
As soon as he said it, John cast a disillusionment charm on himself, then cast a brain occlusion spell and waved his hand at the chests and cabinets.
There was a click of the box being unlocked, and the cabinet was opened with a click.
Almost at the same time, the Dementor emerged from the chest, and inside the cupboard, a cloud of black smoke quickly twisted and changed, and finally twitched a few times, turning into a black albatross that did not look like it.
Both sides were stunned for a moment when they met, and they didn't have eyes, but they gave people a feeling of staring at each other.
Dementors roamed the room, and Boggart waved his wings as if to simulate something.
"Isn't this a simulation of my Patronus?"
The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and John looked at the distorted albatross image of the Boggart, as if he was imitating his patronus.
Coincidentally, John's capture of the Dementor was actually one of the ones he had kicked out of the train.
Judging from Boggart's vague image, the Dementors are also thinking.
John didn't want to see the two things abstractly deduced here, and with a wave of his wand, the two guys were taken back to their respective places.
Reclosing the chest and cupboard, John sat on top of it, touched his chin, and said thoughtfully, "It's vague, which means the Dementors don't have a clear mind." ”
This feeling, like dementia, can also be said to be a soul problem.
The only thing that can be confirmed is that both have similar abilities to the detrimental mind.
The more he thought about it, the more complicated it became, and John sighed heavily: "Alas, there is a long way to go." ”
In order to solve the soul problem in Nagini, we have to continue to study thoroughly.
Coming down from the chest, John left the chamber.
For the rest of the day, he would go to the secret room every day to study two things.
Time passed day by day.
September 19th.
On this day, Hermione, who was eating in the auditorium, received a gift.
The owl who delivered the things was Hermione's acquaintance, and she was amazed, "Basil." ”
Harry and Ron looked up, and they saw Basil flutter his wings and descend precisely into the space between the plates.
Ron thought of his old owl, which would jump every time he came by, and sometimes he would fall into a bowl.
Reaching for Basil's head, Hermione saw that Basil had brought a present.
When opened, there is a beautiful glass ball with a starry sky inside.
The card fell out, Ron picked it up, and it was written by John.
"Happy birthday to you."
Ron didn't know why, he felt a little uncomfortable, and said sourly, "It's good, he still knows your birthday." ”
Hermione glared at her without hesitation and said, "I told you about my birthday when school started, and you didn't listen to it at all. ”
Well, Harry and Ron were a little embarrassed, and when they think about it, it seems that it is.
Harry stared at the glass ball and wondered, "This ball is worth a lot of money, how can John have it?" ”
As far as Harry knew, John was a Muggle family.
He thought again about the hundred Galleons that John had lent him, could a non-wizarding family have so many Galleons?
Harry was a little skeptical in his heart, but Ron was more concerned about whether he could borrow Hermione's copy of his astronomy homework in the future.
Hermione, who received the gift, personally approached John to thank him, and John waved his hand, indicating that there was no need for too much politeness between the two of us.
"By the way, what about your cat, why wasn't you brought it out?"
John thought the flat-faced cat was funny, at least smarter than Tom, and his fur was fluffy and soft.
Hermione was a little sad at the mention of this.
Because Crookhill was always going to scratch spots, she had to leave Crookhill in her bedroom.
Hermione explained why, "It was going to scratch the blob, which made Ron angry, and I had to lock it up in the dorm. ”
"Well, it's natural for cats to catch mice, and it's no wonder that Crookshan."
John understood, and then he saw Tom running over at his feet.
In the whole of Hogwarts, except for Filch's Lady Loris, Tom is the most free.
Hermione was so envious of Tom, John thought for a moment and said, "You usually go to the library, if you don't mind, I can feed you the cat." ”
He wouldn't admit that he just wanted to take a look at Crook Mountain, and that round body looked very touchable.
Hermione hesitated, unsure if Crookshank Mountain would like to go to the Slytherin common room for a while.
In the afternoon, Hermione found John again, embarrassed to say, "Crookshank Hill doesn't like to leave the Gryffindor common room. ”
"Alright then, I've got some cat strips here, you can bring them with you."
John was a little sorry, but he still didn't pick up the ugly Crook Mountain, and took out the cat strips and small dried fish he prepared.
Hermione stared at his little bag, which seemed to be a bit overloaded.
