HP wants to be boss at Hogwarts

Friday was the first Defense Against the Dark Arts class. Mino was looking forward to it very much, and Draco gradually came out of the shadows because of Mino's understanding.

But Draco still didn't ask Snape whether he had runny nose. After all, you only live once.

In the first class, Lupine took the Slytherin students to the staff lounge for practical lessons. Snape happened to be there, but his face was very bad. This was probably because Lupine was giving Gryffindor lessons yesterday. When we were in class, we released the Boggart, and Neville made Snape, who the Boggart turned into, wear his grandmother's clothes.

Wearing a long lace dress, a tall hat with a moth-eaten vulture on it, and carrying a large red handbag.

Paired with Snape's face, it was so funny that Minnow only regretted that he didn't get to see the live version.

"Do you want to see me in class, Snape?" Lupine asked Snape happily.

"Of course, I'd be happy to." Snape sneered.

"Okay, then, please come with me." Lu Ping said, motioning for the students to walk towards the other end of the room.There was just an old wardrobe where teachers kept replacement robes.Lupine walked over and stood next to the wardrobe. The wardrobe suddenly shook and banged against the wall.

"Is it a Boggart?" Daphne looked a little excited.

"Yes, boggarts like dark and closed spaces," Lupine said. "Wardrobes, the space under the bed, the cupboard under the sink - once I met one who lived in a grandfather clock. This one It was just moved in yesterday afternoon, and I asked the principal to let the teachers keep it for practical lessons for my third-grade students."

Mino was thinking hard about what or what he was afraid of.

"Now, the first question we have to ask ourselves is: What is a Boggart?"

Mino raised his hand.

"It's a shape-shifting thing," Minow said. "It takes on the form that we most fear."

"That's right. Whatever it thinks can scare us the most will turn into that." Lupine said, "So, the Boggart in this dark cabinet doesn't have a specific shape yet, and it doesn't know the shape of the cabinet yet." What are the people outside the door afraid of? No one knows what a boggart looks like when alone, but as soon as I let it out, it will immediately become what each of us fears the most."

Mino couldn't think of what he was afraid of. Maybe it was the death of an important person in his heart, but there were too many important people, and one Boggart shouldn't be able to change it.

"That is to say," Lupine continued, "we have a big advantage over Boggarts, Mino, have you discovered this advantage?"

“There are so many of us, and we don’t know what shape it will take.”

"Exactly," said Lupine. "When dealing with a boggart, it's best to go in a group. That way you can confuse it: whether it will turn into a headless skeleton or a flesh-eating snot." Bug? I once saw a boggart make this mistake - it tried to scare two people at the same time, but ended up turning itself into half a slug, which was not scary at all."

Mino thinks half a slug is actually quite scary.

"The spell to defeat a Boggart is very simple, but requires a lot of will power. You know, what really kills a Boggart is laughter. What you need is to force it into an image that you find funny. "

Snape sneered, but said nothing to interrupt Lupine's lecture.

"Let's practice the spell without the wands for now. Say it after me... funny!"

"Funny!"

Minnow noticed that Daphne was very excited and eager to try, and even Susan was the same.

"Why are you so happy?"

"Shh! Don't talk!" Daphne frowned and said, "Have a good time in class!"

"Who insisted on passing small notes and chatting with me before, and also talked to the teacher?"

Daphne ignored Mino and concentrated on chanting the spell and looking at the closet.

"So, is there anyone willing to help me?" Lu Ping asked.

"Me, me, me!" Most of the people in the class raised their hands.

Mino was even more shocked. Although he was not so excited yesterday, Parkinson, who raised his hands excitedly, was still saying last night that Lupine was dressed in such rags and that he might not be able to eat before.

After quietly glancing at Snape, Mino temporarily thought that they wanted to leave a good impression in front of Snape, making him think that Slytherins were all good children.

"Then, can you please help me, Mr. Malfoy?" Lupine smiled and looked at Draco beside Minnow.

Draco raised an eyebrow in confusion, but nodded in agreement.

“What are you most afraid of in the world?”

Draco thought carefully for a while, looked at Mino, and then said: "Mino Potter holding the brick."

Mino:? ?

Daphne made a soft "poof" in Mino's ear, and Parkinson laughed "hehehe" without any worries.

Lu Ping was also a little surprised, but he still smiled and nodded professionally: "It's really surprising. So, how will you make this image interesting?"

Draco thought seriously for a while, then nodded firmly: "I understand, please start, Professor."

"Would you like to talk?"

Draco shook his head: "I think you can see for yourself."

"Well, if Mr. Malfoy succeeds, the Boggart will turn its attention to each of us in turn," said Lupine. "I hope you all will take a moment to consider what you are most afraid of, And then imagine how you could make it ridiculous.”

Mino thought hard, but still couldn't imagine what she was most afraid of. Maybe Boggart could let her know what she was afraid of.

In the past, Mino was a little afraid of trolls, but now, Mino felt that he could fight ten of them - this was probably because he had heard too many stories made up by Susan about Mino tearing apart trolls with his own hands.

"Is everyone ready?" Lupine asked.

After receiving a positive answer, Lupine asked his classmates to retreat to the wall, leaving Draco standing alone by the closet.

Snape sat on the chair with his chest crossed, his face serious.

"I'm counting to three, Mr. Malfoy," said Lupine, pointing his own wand at the wardrobe door handle. "One—two—three—go!"

A string of sparks shot out from the tip of Lupin's wand, hitting the spherical door handle. The closet door suddenly opened, and a man wearing a light pink dress walked out, with slightly curly red hair hanging around his shoulders, and a look of tranquility on his face. The girl with a natural smile is Mino.

"Is this a Boggart? Is this correct?" Parkinson asked doubtfully.

Before Lupine could answer, "Mino" slowly walked towards Draco and let out a crisp laugh. At this time, Draco had a look of horror on his face.

"Funny!" Draco picked up his wand and pointed it at Minnow.

There was a sharp sound, like a pigtail being whipped. "Mino" staggered a moment, and then took out a colorful brick from his pocket. The originally gentle smile turned into an angry and vicious one. Staring at Draco.

At this time, Draco had a satisfied smile on his face and breathed a sigh of relief.

Nott and Zabini laughed wildly.

"Draco is actually afraid of the gentle Minnow!" Nott laughed very loudly, and at Lupin's signal, he exchanged places with Draco, "It's my turn."

Mino watched numbly as the Boggart in front of Nott turned into himself who looked aggrieved and cried pitifully, and then looked at himself holding a fruit knife with a ferocious smile.

"Did you do this on purpose?"

The next thing Mino knew was whether they did it on purpose, because when most of the class saw the Boggart, they all looked like Mino.

"Why do you think it's scary when I smile at you? My smile is obviously very healing!" Mino glared at Parkinson angrily.

Parkinson rolled his eyes nicely.

"Have you forgotten that you took away my two Yinxicos after you smiled at me like this last time?"

"The last time you smiled at me like this, you took away my chocolate cake." Crabbe said softly next to him.

"Didn't I pay it to you during dinner..." Mino was a little embarrassed, but at the same time he wanted to take out the colorful bricks in his pocket and give them to each of them.

At this time, the Boggart suddenly rushed towards Snape, because at this time there was no one in front of the Boggart, and Snape was some distance away from them, so he was alone.

The Boggart was originally Mino holding a stick, but gradually changed his form as he ran.

Mino's body moved faster than his brain, and he suddenly rushed in front of Snape, but he still couldn't stop the Boggart from turning into Lily's appearance - the appearance of Lily when she died.

Mino froze in place for a moment, looking at the person lying on the floor. He had the same red hair as him and almost the same eyebrows. He couldn't help but tremble all over. He understood that maybe this was what he was most afraid of seeing, and subconsciously chose to forget it. Yes, but it still exists permanently in my mind.

The Lily that the Boggart turned into was no different from the one in Mino's memory, whether it was the painful expression on her face or the blood seeping from the corner of her mouth.

All of a sudden, that memory filled with green light filled Mino's mind again.

Crying, screaming, yelling, cursing... all kinds of sounds echoed in his ears, and a deeper despair emerged from Mino's heart than when he saw the dementors.

"Mom!" Mino shouted uncontrollably and rushed towards the body transformed by the Boggart, but the moment she rushed forward, the Boggart exploded.

Mino, who was hit by the airflow and fell to the ground, looked at the empty ground in front of him in shock.

"It...how..." Mino was stunned for a while, gradually realizing that the dead Lily was what Snape was most afraid of seeing, not himself.

Maybe Mino was also afraid of this, but it couldn't really scare her, because Mino missed it more.

It may also be because Mino has never completely regarded himself as Mino.It is precisely because she can change and make everything possible that she cannot truly enter this world. Even if she has a deep bond, it is still like a dream, a dream that she does not want to wake up from.

Everyone else present thought that the dead Lily was what Mino was most afraid of seeing, but they didn't know how to explain the subsequent Boggart explosion. Lupine said that it was because the Boggart was confused and exploded after too many times. .

But Mino knew that if the person in front of the Boggart didn't have the deepest fear, the Boggart would explode.

After knowing that he was fearless, Mino felt at ease, at least there was no weakness anymore. Even when he recalled the moment of Lily's death, Mino's heart didn't hurt as much as before.

"I am fearless because... I used to not belong to this world, but now, I am fulfilling my dream in this world."
