Hogwarts: I am Harry's Cousin

Chapter 204 202. What are you most afraid of?

Defense Against the Dark Arts class, this is the first class of the year.

Apart from whispering about Dudley's 'bet' with Snape, the little wizards were discussing what kind of person Professor Lupine was.

Especially today, the young wizards present are all from the same class as Dudley.

Before that, they had experienced the garlic-smelling professor (Quirrell) wearing a cloth bag, and the flowery peacock professor (Lockhart) who was self-righteous but had no ability.

I don't know what kind of person this year's professor is.

Just hope it's not too bad, at least better than Lockhart.

When the class time was about to start, Lupine came late, first smiled at the little wizards in the audience, and then put his tattered suitcase on the desk.

Compared with the "pretentious" clothing of the last professor, Professor Luping's clothes are much more plain. Maybe the word "plain" is not appropriate. It should be described as ragged, with many patches on the large robe.

Maybe it's still his best piece of clothing.

Obviously, the professor's usual life is not satisfactory.

"Everyone, please put the books back in the drawer and take out your wands. Today's first Defense Against the Dark Arts class is a practical activity."

Practice? !

The eyes of the little wizards lit up when they heard the words. They had never taken a practical course of Defense Against the Dark Arts, if the "Cornwall elf incident" by the previous professor counted.

"Please come with me, I think we should change places."

Although the classroom of Defense Against the Dark Arts is fixed, there are actually many spare and spacious activity rooms nearby, which are generally used for practical courses of Defense Against the Dark Arts, but since someone cast a curse on this course After that, the professors who served over the years rarely used those activity rooms.

It's been six or seven years since I last used it.

Pushing open the door, a decaying musty smell came. Lupine just raised his wand and waved lightly. A small whirlwind mixed with water appeared out of thin air, blowing away the dust, garbage and some unknown bugs in the room. go out.

The event room was instantly refreshed.

If wizards do housekeeping services, they will definitely kill all the housekeeping companies in England, it is fast and clean.

Charm: Clean Up, a housework charm that can be used to clean up.

Don't underestimate it just because it is a housework spell. Although most wizards, especially housewives, can only cast it, it is difficult to clean up the target, so this spell is generally only used for Do a shallow clean.

Cleaning a classroom as large as Lupine at a time would have to be a master class.

"I saw my mum use it and she couldn't even clean the kitchen utensils."

"My dad once tried using this spell to sweep the floor and he made a mess in the house. It took me and mum three hours to clean it up. It was a disaster."

"."

The little wizards were chirping and discussing, Lupine showed his hand, and a simple spell made the little wizards look at him with admiration.

Invisibly also establish the majesty of the professor.

Once this person succeeds, everything he says makes sense.

What poverty?

That's thrifty.

Have you never heard of it? New three years, old three years, sewing and mending another three years.

You see, Professor Lupine knows how to live.

"Something." Ron whispered in Harry's ear, "At least he's more reliable than someone like Lockhart."

Dudley and Hermione were probably the only ones in their discipline group who could do that.

Hmm. Maybe that guy named Cedric would do it too.

Although Cedric joined the disciplinary group, because he needs to pass the O.W.L.s exam this year, he seldom participates in the activities of the disciplinary group. But the occasional appearance had already let the other members of the disciplinary team know that he was an excellent wizard, a very good kind.

Harry nodded, agreeing, "I bet there's no Defense Against the Dark Arts professor worse than Lockhart."

Harry, however, was still too young.

It was too early to say this.

"Now. Come to me, everyone." Lupine said, pointing to the front, where there was nothing.

With another wave of the wand, a well-worn wardrobe appeared.

When Lupine walked to the closet, the closet suddenly began to shake and make a banging sound.

The sudden sound startled the little wizard standing in front of him.

"Don't worry, don't worry about the kids."

Lupine clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention, then calmly knocked on the door of the old wardrobe: "There's a Boggart inside."

A boggart, a magical creature (dark magic creature) that can constantly change its shape, said to be a close relative of the devil, usually invisible, sometimes in the form of a person, animal, skeleton or devil, very mischievous, in the form of humans feed on fear.

It is worth mentioning that Boggarts also appear in the records of ordinary people, as a mythical creature. However, in the records of ordinary people, boggarts are ugly, black humanoid creatures with large hands and feet, and wear shabby clothes.

"There used to be quite a lot of these things, but recently they have become less and less for some reason. This one was caught not long ago."

"Originally they planned to drive it to the Forbidden Forest, but I kept it, just to use it for everyone to practice."

Bang Bang Bang.

At this time, the cabinet shook more violently.

Lupine took one look, then said, "So, first question of class one, what is a Boggart?"

It was still primary school bully Hermione who answered first.

"It can change shape and take on a frightening image."

Lupine was very satisfied with Hermione's answer, and added points for the disciplinary group without hesitation.

Before class, Dumbledore specifically told him that apart from the four houses in Hogwarts, there is also a disciplinary group, which needs to be scored separately.

"How we should deal with Boggarts, the first thing we should do is face up to the fear, face the fear with a smile, and don't be intimidated by the fear."

"Recall what you are most afraid of."

"What image will the Boggart appear in again?"

Lupine gave everyone a few minutes to think.

"Remember laughter is the best way to defeat a Boggart, and willpower is the key to defeating a Boggart."

"If anyone is ready to be the first to challenge a Boggart, please stand up first."

Lupine looked around, but no one came forward, so he turned his attention to one of them.

"Robin Hood, you come first."

‘Hehehehe, who would call Robin Hood such an old-fashioned name. '

Ron looked around cheerfully, wanting to see what this Robin Hood looked like, and then he saw Lupine looking straight at him.

'? Gan! Could it be calling me? ! '
