Chapter 16: Friend's Troubles
Note that the Boggart is an emotion-dependent non-being, and what really scares it away is laughter, a so-called spell just to make it look like you think is ridiculous."
Quirrell walked to the door, away from all the students, and reminded Cedric who had already walked to the box.
"Now!" With a wave of his wand, the top of the box suddenly opened, and a figure flew out.
The Gryffindors all exclaimed.
The figure is burly and majestic, and the hair is striking, who else could it be if it wasn't Charlie?
Cedric also didn't expect Boggart to take on Charlie's appearance, and it was Charlie riding a broomstick and wearing a Gryffindor jersey.
"Cedric, you can't win me in your life!" Boggart, who turned into Charlie, laughed.
Cedric's face turned red, ashamed that the secret in his heart had been discovered, and hurriedly raised his wand: "Funny funny!"
With Cedric's spell, Charlie, who was soaring from the ceiling, seemed to be whipped with a whip: the broom under his crotch suddenly disappeared, and he himself fell straight to the ground, like a dog gnawing mud.
The class burst into laughter, and Fred and George stood up and applauded, unanimously regretting that the scene could not be saved.
Boggart looked at the laughing crowd at a loss, Quirrell coughed and waved his wand again, and Boggart turned into a black shadow and was re-locked in the box under invisible force.
"Next." Quirrell swept over those faces with a faint eagerness of anticipation, "Fred, George, if you can promise that you don't want to take the scarf off my head this school year, I can give each of you a chance."
It is clear that he has an in-depth knowledge of Fred and George's personalities because of Carl's connections.
"I swear!"
Fred and George stood up excitedly.
They briefly discussed, and Fred eventually became the first to rely on guessing the winner.
He stood in front of the box, pulled out his wand, and was eager to try.
Quirrell waved his wand again, the chest was opened again, and another man came out.
Everyone looked curiously at the serious face in front of them, wearing formal clothes, wearing glasses, and looking at Fred or George, who looked at each other.
What's there to be afraid of?
"Why am I here?! I'm going to write a report! A few more wizards blocked the Muggle toilet and the water flowed all over the ground!" Fred or George, who came out of the box, said annoyedly.
He looked around and shouted, "Get me back to the Ministry of Magic!" The minister will be angry!"
Fred's face was also not good-looking.
Looking at the Boggart in front of him, who looked like Percy and his father were mixed together, he gritted his teeth and said, "Funny funny!"
Boggart immediately changed: he dressed up as a clown and performed comical acrobatics.
The Joker's wonderful performance drew laughter from everyone, but Fred ran back to his seat.
George was also disinterested, he waved his hand to signal that he would not be on, and then, like Fred, returned to his seat in high spirits.
Karl glanced at them, not immediately turning to comfort them.
If it weren't for Boggart, he really didn't expect that Fred and George's greatest fear would be to enter the Ministry of Magic, or become a serious adult like Percy.
But it's understandable to think about it, the Ministry of Magic is indeed a rare right path in the wizarding world, not only has a high social status and power, but the key is that for a pure-blood family like Weasley who is in financial distress, the Ministry of Magic does represent a bright future.
After all, if you want to make money, you either have to run an industry, or you have to grab power.
It's not easy to run a business, but I just want to think about where the Weasleys will get their money. If you lose money, the family's economy will be even worse.
The Ministry of Magic is different, at least the Weasleys will not be excluded from the surface, and capable children will have the possibility of climbing up.
As far as Karl knew, they were the most
Bill, who is also very good, has already entered Gringotts to work as a spell solver, although it is better to go directly to the Ministry of Magic, but after all, it is the only bank, and it can be regarded as a great future - if you don't consider that it is a fairy territory.
And Charlie, according to his own interests, went abroad to raise dragons.
Ron was too young, and only Fred and George had already shown their talents, and it was only natural for the family to want them to enter the Ministry of Magic like Percy.
Even if you don't climb up, you can't starve yourself to death if you have a stable income.
But Fred and George apparently already had their own ideas.
Quirrell smirked and glanced at the sullen twins, then ordered another Hufflepuff.
This time it wasn't a person, but a woman, her long black hair dragged all the way to the ground, and slowly crawled out of the box.
As she crawled out, a gurgling sound came from her limbs, as if her stiff body had been wound up and brought to life.
Everyone present felt trepidation, and she seemed to feel the fear of being present, and slowly raised her face at the Hufflepuff.
A miserable white face, no, even if she does have the appearance of a human being, everyone still feels hairy in their hearts, and the shadow of fear unconsciously enters people's hearts with that face.
Because it is too much of a human and inhuman horror.
The Hufflepuff in front of her was already trembling with fear, and she couldn't even lift her wand.
But the female ghost would not stop, she crawled out of the box without hurrying, the power that sealed her seemed to be gradually disappearing, her speed was getting faster and faster, and the person was getting closer and closer to the Hufflepuff.

"Funny!" The Hufflepuff shuddered a spell against the Boggart.
It didn't work, and the miserable white face in front of him showed a creepy smile to him.
He couldn't hold it anymore, screaming, turned around and ran towards his seat.
The female ghost crawled out of the box completely, and she crawled down the lectern to the ground, lying on her stomach, her limbs like pressed wood, and grunted slowly towards the Hufflepuff.
In the blink of an eye, the whole classroom was completely chaotic, and many girls began to scream. There were also some Hufflepuff students who were timid but on the path of the female ghost, and with the last of their courage they had jumped onto the table, and then their eyes were closed and their whole body trembled.
The Gryffindor students reacted the fastest.
"Funny!" Without waiting for Carl to make a move, Angelina trembled, but firmly threw out her spell.
The panicked voice disappeared, and the female ghost in front of her suddenly turned into a big fat woman lying on the ground and couldn't get up.
Before the patriarch could breathe a sigh of relief, it suddenly turned into a hissing python that coiled up and stuck out its tongue around.
It was clear whose fear he was eyeing again.
This time, however, more people relented, and Lee Jordan immediately waved his wand: "Funny, funny!"
The python turned into a huge emerald green handbag before it could move.
Seeing more people eager to try, Quirrell said lazily, "Come back!" With his voice, Boggart turned into a black shadow again and obediently flew into the box.
"It seems that everyone has understood the characteristics of the Boggart and how to deal with it." He said, "Read the chapter on Boggart and write a synopsis for me next week in class."
