Hogwarts: The Book of Laws.

Chapter 27: Boggart

Defense Against the Dark Arts class, training room.

The little wizards stood in the spacious room, staring curiously at the big cabinet in front of them.

The cabinet is black in color and has a very ordinary style, not much different from the commonly used wardrobe cabinets at home.

But there was only this one object in the empty room, which had to attract people's attention.

The cabinet door is tightly closed, and the cabinet shakes slightly from time to time, making a vague sound.

"Professor, this is..." Finally a Ravenclaw student couldn't help but ask.

"Obviously, an ordinary cupboard," said Baribone.

The students laughed.

"But the things in the cabinet are not ordinary, at least for you." Barrybone's voice became deeper, and he looked at the students in front of him and said, "There is a Boggart in it!"

Arthur suddenly showed a toothache expression, he really guessed it right!What a boggart!

Isn’t this a course only for third grade students?Are you taking it out now to cause trouble? !Arthur roared in his heart!

It's no wonder he was excited, Boggart could see the most fearful things in people's hearts and transform them into reality.

And everything that happened in school these days made Arthur feel anxious. He was very afraid that when it was his turn, the cupboard door would open and an owl would fly out from inside!

Then it's all over!

Maybe someone will come to his dormitory tonight, knock on the door and check the water meter! ! !

No, we can't think about these things now!

Arthur took a deep breath. The characteristics of Boggarts are destined. The more afraid of something, the more likely it will come!

At this time, a cold little hand gently held him.

Arthur turned his head and saw that Nesta seemed to notice something strange about him, her blue eyes flashing with concern.

Arthur smiled reluctantly and whispered: "It's okay, I just didn't sleep well last night."

Nesta nodded and held his hand tighter.

"Does anyone know what a Boggart is?" Barebone asked loudly, standing in front.

"I know, Professor!" a Ravenclaw girl answered, raising her hand.

Barrybone nodded slightly and motioned for her to continue.

"A boggart is a dark magical creature, a shape-shifter that lives in dark, cramped places. It transforms into the things that those who encounter it fear most and feeds on fear. No one knows the boggart's shape , because no one has seen its true form." The Ravenclaw girl said quickly.

"It's a very standard answer. I can't explain it better than you. Five points for Ravenclaw."

Barebone nodded approvingly and said: "I found this Boggart in the closet of an abandoned office yesterday. I thought it was very interesting. With the permission of the principal, I brought it as our today's course."

The students suddenly became excited. Although most of them had never seen a Boggart before, but with the professor here today, they didn't feel much fear.

Barebone looked around, his eyes stayed on Arthur, and said: "Mr. Curry, please tell me how to deal with Boggart."

"Uh..." Arthur looked embarrassed, then lowered his head and said, "I'm sorry, Professor, I... didn't pay attention to these contents."

Arthur felt that Barebone's eyes were staring at him. After a while, he heard Barebone say again: "Miss Rosier, can you answer it?"

"The Boggart will turn into the thing that people fear the most. To deal with it, you need to use the Boggart Expelling Spell. The spell is 'Funny'. It will turn into what you think is the funniest thing." Nesta whispered, " If you want to get rid of it, you need to laugh, laughter kills it.”

"Correct, five points for Ravenclaw." Barebone said, "Yes, you only need to laugh to kill it, but when you actually face it, I'm afraid very few of you will be able to laugh out loud."

"Now, everyone line up by last name!"

Under Baribone's gaze, the students stood in line, and Arthur had to let go of Nesta's hand because she had to go to the back to line up.

And Arthur stood in fourth.

At this moment, he felt like a husky that was dying. He had just come up with a good idea, which was to huddle in the back row and wait for get out of class to end.

As a result, this old Yinbi actually queued up by last name!Arthur regretted why the initials of his last name were C instead of Y or Z!

"Is everything lined up?" Baribone asked, and then he took the lead in standing in front of the cabinet. "I will give a demonstration first. Everyone, pay attention."

The little wizards hurriedly stared at Baribone's back, and saw him gently waving his hand, and the closed cupboard door immediately opened wide!

Then, a black irregular object appeared from inside. The object was as ethereal as smoke and as thick as a ball of black mud. It expanded slightly and glowed faintly with red light!

Everyone held their breath and looked at this "unidentified object" nervously.

But Arthur's eyes suddenly widened!This is...

"Funny!" Barrybone stretched out his wand and calmly recited the spell.

The black object instantly turned into a clown riding a rolling ball!

The clown's face is painted with various colors of rapeseed!With a funny colorful cap!

He danced on the rolling ball and seemed about to fall off. He kept winking at the little wizards and made funny expressions and movements!

"Hahaha!"

The students suddenly burst into laughter.

But Arthur couldn't help laughing, because maybe he was the only one who discovered that the clown with colorful paint actually had Dumbledore's face! ! !

How much do you dislike Dumbledore, Professor! ! !

Barrybone turned back, pressed his hands down, made a stop gesture, and said: "Don't be too loud, you will kill it. Now, come forward one by one."

The first person in line was Andy Bryan, a small boy from Ravenclaw. With Professor Barebone's nod, he slowly walked up to the clown.

At this time, the clown on the rolling ball twisted and transformed into a werewolf with slender limbs and an extremely terrifying appearance!

Andy Bryan's face turned pale with fright, and he subconsciously wanted to retreat.

Arthur, who was standing behind, also looked horrified like the others, but in fact he was very calm inside. He even wanted to complain that the werewolf was not as good-looking as Professor Lupin!I don’t know where this boy saw the werewolf, tsk tsk tsk!

"Don't be nervous, just do as I say." Barebone said gently.

Andy Bryan stabilized his mind, raised his wand, and tremblingly recited the spell.

The terrifying werewolf in front of him instantly turned into a black dog with its mouth tied!It whimpered with its tail between its legs and rolled all over the ground!

Arthur almost laughed out loud. He looked at Andy, who was excited about successfully dealing with the Boggart, and said to himself that you should be lucky that Sirius is still in Azkaban!Otherwise, he will definitely pounce on you and bite you!

Amid the laughter and commotion of everyone, the three students in front of them all successfully completed the task of dealing with the Boggart.

Now it's Arthur's turn.

Barebone looked at him calmly.

Arthur walked forward step by step, his legs seemed to be filled with lead, and his speed was extremely slow.

"Are you under a slowing spell, Mr. Curry?" Barebone glanced at him and said, and took out his wand, "Do you want me to cure you?"

"No... no need, professor." Arthur tried not to look too ugly, "Actually, I... seemed to have a bad stomach at lunch, a bit..."

Baribone pondered for a moment and said, "Then you want to take a rest?"

"Yes, Professor!" Arthur said quickly, "Why don't you let the classmates behind you... come on, I'll just wait for a while."

"Do you want to wait until get out of class is over?" Baribone asked calmly.

"..."

Arthur was speechless, thinking, "You are so right, Professor!"

He had no choice but to move forward slowly.Although Occlumency can solve this problem, he hasn't had time to learn it yet!

Who would have thought that the first Defense Against the Dark Arts class would go straight to Boggart!

I don’t know if the mental spell with only three lines in my mind can help solve this problem.

Just when Arthur was thinking wildly, his brain suddenly shook!

He felt as if a will had invaded his spiritual world!

Three faint blue lines shine brightly, blocking the arrival of this will!

Arthur turned his head suddenly and looked at Baribone in disbelief.

I saw this old man with a stern face staring at him quietly, with a strange light emitting from his brown pupils!

Legilimency! ! !
