Because Snape caused a strong indignation among the young wizards, when Professor Lupin finally returned, the young wizards immediately complained about it.

"It's not fair, he's just here to substitute for the teacher, why should he leave us homework?"

"We don't know what a werewolf is—"

"—two rolls of parchment!"

"He also deducted points from us casually!"

Ron's voice was the most sorrowful, and he raised his hands, showing the scars that had been deliberately left:

"I dealt with horned toads and hedgehog balls for three nights! Snape also threatened me to let me get spider venom next time! ”

Werewolf? Professor Lupin shook his head slightly, Snape sighed.

He did look sick, his old robes were even looser on his body, and there were heavy dark circles under his eyes, and he looked sickly.

"Didn't you tell Professor Snape that we hadn't learned there yet?" Lupin asked, frowning slightly.

Everyone talked about it again.

"Yes, but he said we were too far behind—"

"-He doesn't listen-"

"He asked us what werewolves were, and Granger knew, but he deducted points from Granger!"

"—Two rolls of parchment! Two whole pages! ”

Everyone was indignant, and they wished that Professor Lupin would immediately draw his wand and go to Snape to duel.

But Zhang Xiao knew that Lupin would never take the initiative to find trouble with Snape, but Snape would not deliberately go to trouble with Lupin.

Of the Marauder Four, Snape was probably the least hostile to Lupin.

The two sides would fight each other, but that's it, if it were Jaime and Sirius, Snape would never make potions, even if Dumbledore told him.

So at this time, it was normal for Professor Lupin to just smile slightly.

"Don't worry, I'll say to Professor Snape - you don't have to write that paper."

Homework without having to write two pieces of parchment?

The little wizards immediately rejoiced and closed their mouths contentedly.

Only Hermione looked disappointed: "Oh no! I'm done. ”

Harry whispered to Zhang Xiao and Malfoy, "She spent more than four hours last night!" I looked up the information that is almost half as tall as me! ”

Malfoy looked at Hermione puzzled, wondering why anyone liked to do their homework.

"Alright, let's forget about the last lesson, now—" Professor Lupin said, beckoning the class to stand up, and with a wave of his wand, the desks and chairs immediately scattered across the classroom.

The little wizards happily stood in the open space in the middle of the extra classroom.

Lupin waved his wand again, and a dilapidated wardrobe standing against the wall suddenly staggered over and landed gently at the other end of the classroom.

He walked over to the closet and stood still, and the closet suddenly shook and slammed to the ground.

"Don't worry." Professor Lupin said calmly, because at this point several students jumped back in fright.

"There's a Boggart in there.

Actually, in the first class, I wanted to give you a Bogert class, but I didn't expect everyone's foundation to be like this, so I had to regretfully postpone my plan.

Fortunately, everyone studied very seriously and worked hard-"

Most people felt they had to worry, and Neville glanced at Professor Lupin, curiosity in his eyes, and Seamofinigan peeked in fear at the now-shaky doorknob.

"Boggart likes dark, enclosed spaces." "The wardrobe, the space under the bed, the cupboard under the sink – once I came across an old clock hidden in my ancestors.

This one moved in yesterday afternoon, and I consulted with the Headmaster, and with Headmaster Dumbledore's approval, we can now use it for practice.

"So, the first question we have to ask ourselves is, what is a Boggart?"

Hermione raised her hand even faster than the afterimage, and the wind and waves that it brought up ruffled Ron's hair.

"Professor, it's something that can be shapeshifted," the little witch said confidently, "and it can take on whatever image it thinks will frighten us the most." ”

"I couldn't have said it any better," Professor Lupin nodded approvingly, and Hermione pursed her lips tightly to keep herself from smiling.

"So, the Bogut in the closet hasn't been presented in any way.

It doesn't know what scares the people outside the door.

No one knows what Boggart looks like when he's alone, but when I release it, it immediately becomes the thing that each of us fears the most.

"This means," Professor Lu Hu said, deliberately ignoring the little wizard's frightened face, "before we started, we had a huge advantage over Boggart!" ”

He suddenly looked at Harry:

"Have you found that advantage, Harry?"

Hermione raised her hand again with a whoosh, tiptoeing up and down.

Her arms were like javelins, pointing straight to the sky.

In this case, it would be embarrassing to not be able to answer the question, but Harry decided not to disappoint Lupin.

He racked his brains and replied slowly, "Oh—because there are so many of us, it doesn't know what to become, is it?"

"Excellent, Gryffindor plus five points!" Professor Lupin slapped him lightly.

"The best thing to do when dealing with Boggart is to have a lot of people.

Then it will be overwhelmed and not know what it should become.

Is it a corpse without a head? Or a carnivorous slug?

I once saw a boggett make the mistake of trying to scare two people at the same time, so he turned himself into a half-slug.

To be honest, it's not scary at all. Instead, it made us laugh. ”

Professor Lupin then went on to introduce the points and spells for dealing with the Boggart.

The spell is [Funny Funny], but this spell is not meant to destroy Boggart.

This spell is more like a forced transfiguration spell against the Boggart, forcing the Boggart to be what you want.

Lose that look of fear that hits your heart, and the danger that Boggart poses is gone.

After introducing Boggart, Professor Lupin pinched the end of his wand with both hands and said solemnly:

"You know, this mantra alone is not enough.

Who's going to come first?"

The little wizards shook their heads nervously.

He suddenly pointed, "Okay, it's up to you first, Neville!" ”

The young wizards watched as Neville stepped forward with the same sad gaze as they sent him to the gallows.

But Zhang Xiao immediately cheered up, Neville has changed a lot, but except for your closest friends, who cares what you have become?

Even after Potions class shook Snape for an entire year, the stereotype of Neville remained.

That is, good-natured, kind, courageous, but very clumsy.

Neville nodded, and walked straight forward, Lupin looked at Neville's calm expression with some surprise.

In McGonagall's list of notes, Neville is the one to focus on, and it's basically the original comment.

Interestingly, this is not what Professor McGonagall said about "nice people", "good boys", "timid", and "inferior".

"Neville—" Professor Lupin said mildly, "First things first: what are you most afraid of in the world?"

Neville furrowed his eyebrows, thoughtful.

"Say it quickly, it's not allowed to be thoughtful!" Professor Lupin said happily.

Neville was visibly distressed, and he sighed, "Before, I was most afraid of Professor Snape"

Almost everyone burst out laughing.

Even Neville himself grinned apologetically.

Professor Lupin, however, was pondering.

"Previous. Professor Snape. Not.. Neville, what about now?"

"I don't know, Professor." Neville scratched his head in embarrassment.

Lupin was also a little troubled, and he thought for a moment: "Okay, then let's just try it." ”

"By the time the Boggart rushes out of the closet, Neville, and when it sees you, it's going to show you what you fear most."

"You," said Lupin, "take your wand—and take it like this—and shout 'funny,' and try to concentrate on what you think is funny." ”

Neville nodded, and the other young wizards looked nervously at Neville and the closet in front of him, which shook even more.

"If Neville succeeds, this Boggart may turn his attention to each and every one of you." Professor Lupin is still trying to instill knowledge.

"Now, I want each of you to take a moment to think about what you're most afraid of, and then imagine how you can force it to look ridiculous.."

It was quiet in the room.

What scares him the most in the world?

Voldemort immediately jumped out, with scarlet eyes and a thin snit.

Harry shuddered, then looked around, hoping no one noticed him.

Many of his classmates closed their eyes tightly, and Ron muttered to himself, "Take its leg off." ”

Harry knew what Ron was talking about: Ron's worst fear was spiders.

Hermione had already covered her mouth: "Oh no! Fail! ”

Zhang Xiao also began to think, what am I most afraid of?

Demons? Or is it a dream? No, it's not a dream, this reality has been tried countless times.

But the power of magic is really like a dream

In short, very curious!

"Are you all ready?" Professor Lupin asked.

Harry felt a wave of horror - he wasn't ready.

Everyone else nodded and rolled up their sleeves.

"Neville, we're going to step back," Professor Lupin said, "and let you have a clearing, okay?"

I'll call the next person to come forward. Now, everyone stand back, and give Neville an open space—"

Everyone stepped back and retreated to the wall, leaving Neville alone by the closet.

It's just that many young wizards are very strange, and Neville's round face doesn't have much fear on it.

He slowly rolled up the sleeves on both sides, and actually had a calm look, and the wand was already in his hand.

"I'll count to three, Neville," Professor Lupin said, pointing his wand at the closet, "one-two-three—start!"

A burst of sparks shot from the end of the Professor's wand, and the sparks struck the handle of the closet door.

The closet door opened, and nothing rushed out.

But Neville's expression froze suddenly.

There was only one tombstone in the wardrobe, and with his extraordinary eyesight, Zhang Xiao could see the words on it at a glance.

This is the tombstone of Frank and Alice, who died after recovering from the fight against Voldemort.

The little wizards craned their necks and looked at the tombstone curiously, but they didn't know what was so terrible about it.

But looking at Neville's expression, it was clear that this tombstone had a great impact on him.

Zhang Xiao looked worriedly at the young man in front of him who lowered his head and didn't speak, if he hadn't had it, he wouldn't have it.

The most hurtful thing is to have it and then lose it.

Neville gripped his wand, feeling a tearing pain in his heart, and he was silent for a moment, but finally let out a sigh of relief.

His wand was raised: "If there really is such a day, I think, they must be willing."

So—funny funny!"

There was a crisp 'snap', like the sound of a whip.

The tombstone suddenly and rapidly deformed, turning into a bewitching Snape dressed in women's clothing;

He wore a long, lace-embroidered gown, a high hat with an old moth-eaten carver on the top, and a large scarlet handbag dangling in his hand.

Neville grinned, it was something he had always wanted to do.

The class burst into laughter; This boggart paused, bewildered;

Professor Lupin breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly struck while the iron was hot, and shouted, "Parvati, come forward!"

Parvati stepped forward, grimacing.

Snape walked around her. There was another popping sound, and where Snape had stood was now a bloodied mummy wrapped in bandages;

Its eyes, which had no vision, turned to Parvati and began to walk towards her, slowly, slowly, shuffling its feet, and its stiff arms raised—"Funny, funny!" Parvati shouted.

The bandages on the mummy's feet were untied; It stumbled from the loose bandages, its face fell forward, and its head rolled down.

"Seamus!" Professor Lupin exclaimed.

Seamus hurriedly stepped forward over Parvati.

Syllable! The place where the mummy stayed was now a woman, her black hair dragged all the way to the ground, and a face with only a skeleton, and a green and gloomy - a female ghost.

Her mouth was wide open, an inhuman voice filled the room, and a long, mournful cry made Harry creep - "Funny, funny!" Seamus shouted.

The female ghost made a tearing sound, grabbed her throat, and her voice was gone.

Syllable! The female ghost turned into a mouse, spun around in circles looking for her tail, and then - smack! Turning into a rattlesnake, snaking and twisting and twisting—and—snap! It turned into a bloody eyeball again.

"It's already dizzy!" Professor Lupin exclaimed, "We've taken another step forward!" Dean!"

Dean hurried forward.

Syllable! The eyeball turned into a severed hand, which jumped and jumped and began to crawl along the floor like a crab.

"Funny funny!" Dean yelled.

There was a crisp sound, and the hand was caught in the rat clip.

"Wonderful! Ron, you're next!"

Ron stepped forward confidently.

Syllable! Several people screamed.

A giant spider, six feet tall and covered in hair, was crawling towards Ron, dancing its hooks menacingly along the way.

Ron let out a 'hiccup' sound in his throat, and the whole person was stunned.

Good thing he hadn't completely fainted, and then- "Funny funny!" Ron roared, and the spider's leg was gone.

"Granger!"

Hermione took a step forward, eager to try.

The spider kept tumbling, and suddenly exploded again, and in the smoke, Professor McGonagall's voice rang out:

"Granger, you're fired!"

Professor McGonagall, with her hair in a high bun and a straight face, walked out, still holding a report in her hand, shaking incessantly:

"Fail every exam! Hogwarts doesn't need a stupid student like you! ”

Hermione let out a high-pitched scream, covered her face and cried in a low voice.

The little wizards in the class can hold duck eggs with their mouths open - Merlin! How can anyone be most afraid of failing a grade and then being expelled???

Is this a top student?

Not only the little wizard, but even Lupin didn't expect it, he was stunned for a moment, and looked at Hermione in amazement, who was already about to collapse.

Lu Ping thought for a moment and glanced at Zhang Xiao.

Zhang Xiao understood in seconds, and immediately patted Malfoy's shoulder.

Malfoy was worthy of being the king's deputy, but he was a little stunned and instantly understood, and the two stepped forward to help Hermione up.

The other little wizards who had a better relationship also hurried forward and took the crying little witch back (Hermione, that's Boggart!). You weren't expelled! ）

On the field, Zhang Xiao faced Boggart alone.

Professor McGonagall's gaze shifted to herself, not just Zhang Xiao herself.

Even the little wizards held their breath.

What is the school's man of the hour, the legendary 'Dumbledore's successor' and 'the next legend', afraid of?

Professor McGonagall had a knowing smile on her face.

And then it blew into a cloud of fog - (To be continued)
