HP meets at Hogwarts

Chapter 47 Boggart

Thursday afternoon was Professor Lupine's first Defense Against the Dark Arts class.At lunchtime, at the Slytherin table, Malfoy's injured arm is hanging and bandaged, and he is telling other Slytherin students in other years how he was scratched on his arm by a large monster in Fantastic Beasts class. how terrible.

"He talks like he's a hero against an evil monster..." Fanny said to Ann.

Ann gave Malfoy a slanted look, picked up a piece of fried cured bacon and said, "I thought you were used to Malfoy as a person who likes to use every opportunity to express himself..."

"Well, Ann, what you said makes sense, but he still finds it annoying when he does it..." Fanny no longer paid attention to Malfoy, but chatted with Ann about another topic.

"Ann, what do you think of this afternoon's Defense Against the Dark Arts class? To be honest, the teachers in our first two Defense Against the Dark Arts classes were not very good!?"

"Oh? You don't like Lockhart anymore?" Ann said with a smile.

Fanny glanced at Ann complainingly, and explained, "At that time, I didn't know that he was a person who could only talk nonsense, don't change the subject, Ann, what do you think of our new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher? "

Ann recalled Harry Potter's previous Defense Against the Dark Arts teachers, and remembered that Lupine was the best-rated teacher by Harry Potter fans, and a teacher who was deeply loved by the protagonists.

Ann swallowed the food in her mouth, her tone was flat, "Maybe Professor Lupine will be a good Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher..."

"Ann, do you think so?" Fanny's tone was surprised. She turned her eyes to the teacher's desk. Professor Lupine was sitting in the corner of the teacher's desk eating lunch. His worn robes were covered with patches, and he looked a little haggard and tired. .

"Ann, you know, I hate what Malfoy said about Professor Lupine, but to be honest, our new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher looks like..." Fanny thought for a while before saying something Word, "weak..."

Ann almost choked on what he just ate, Lupine weak?He turned into a werewolf that even Snape dared not confront him.

An took a sip of the apple juice and swallowed the food, and said meaningfully, "No matter what, I'll find out in the afternoon."

When they got to Professor Lupine's Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom, Professor Lupine wasn't there.There were only a few Gryffindor and Slytherin students in the classroom. They sat on both sides of the classroom, and there was no one in the middle, like Chu Hehan on a chessboard.

"Oh, another class with Gryffindor..." Fanny's tone was not as happy as before the Care of Fantastic Beasts class.

Fanny and Ann walked to their "belonging" Slytherin seats in the classroom and sat down.After a while, Goyle, Braque, and Pansy walked into the classroom, but Malfoy didn't come.After the three sat down, Fanny turned to Pansy, who was sitting in the back row, why Malfoy didn't come.Pansy said in a worried tone, "Malfoy said that his arm hurts just after eating, and he went to the school hospital..."

After getting the answer, Fanny turned her head in disgust, she shouldn't have asked, she should have guessed that Malfoy would definitely take advantage of this arm injury incident.

It was almost time for class, and the Gryffindor trio hurried into the classroom. They were taken aback when they saw the Slytherin students in the classroom. relieved.

After the class bell rang, Lupine entered the classroom. He put an old suitcase on the desk, then turned to everyone and said, "Good afternoon, please put all the books back in the bag. Today is practical class, you All you need is the wand."

The whole class put the books back in their schoolbags, and several students exchanged surprised glances.They've never had a practical Defense Against the Dark Arts class, unless you count the memorable one last year, where Lockhart brought a cage of goblins and set them free come out.

"Well," said Lupine, seeing that everyone was getting ready, "will you follow me?"

Fanny gave Ann a puzzled look, as if to say that there is no class in the classroom, where is he taking us?Ann gave Fanny a calm look.

At the same time, Ann suddenly remembered something. Lupine's first practical class seemed to release something.But in her previous life, she watched the Harry Potter movie when she was in high school. The movie was adapted from the original book. Although the main plot remained the same, many details were changed.Besides, she still remembers some major movie plots now.

What did Lupine release?An didn't think of a reason, and then gave up. It shouldn't be something that can cause substantial danger, so don't think about it.

Lupine led them down a deserted corridor and turned a corner.There, the first thing they saw was the trickster Peeves, floating head-down in mid-air, stuffing gum into the nearest keyhole.

It wasn't until Professor Lupine was two feet away from Peeves that he looked up, and then he squirmed and sang. "Clumsy Lupine," sang Peeves, "Stupid Lupine, stupid Lupine—"

All eyes turned quickly to the Professor to see how he was being treated; to their surprise, Lupine was still smiling.

Lupine happily reminded Peeves, but Peeves didn't have the slightest intention to move away.

He could only sigh slightly, and took out his wand. "Here's a useful little spell," he said, turning to the class. "Please watch." He raised his wand, shoulder-height, said, "Vadi Vasi!" and pointed Peeves.

The little piece of gum came out of the keyhole like a bullet, and went straight into Peeves' left nostril; Peeves spun away immediately, and rose steeply, cursing all the way.

Most of the students laughed out loud, and the number of times Peeves suffered was really not that many.The whole class looked at the ragged professor and increased their respect.

"Go in, please," said Professor Lupine, opening the door and taking a step back.

The faculty common room is a long room filled with old chairs that don't fit together.

"Now, this way," said Professor Lupine, beckoning the class to the end of the lounge.There was nothing there but an old wardrobe.Professor Lupine walked to the closet and stood still. The closet suddenly shook and hit the wall with a bang.

"Don't worry," said Professor Lupine calmly, as several students jumped back in fright. "There's a Boggart in there."

"Boggarts like dark, enclosed spaces," said Professor Lupine, "wardrobes, voids under beds, cupboards under sinks—I once came across one hidden in an old grandfather's clock. This one was yesterday. Moving in in the afternoon, I asked the principal if the faculty could leave it alone and give my [-]rd graders some practice.

"So, the first question we have to ask ourselves is, what is a Boggart?" Hermione held up her hand. "It's a shape-shifting thing," she said, "and it can take on whatever image it thinks will scare us the most.

"I couldn't have said it better myself," said Professor Lupine, and Hermione was very proud. "So, the Boggart sitting in the closet... in the dark has not taken any shape yet. It doesn't know What scares the people outside the door. Nobody knows what a Boggart looks like when he's alone, but when I let him out, it instantly becomes the thing that scares each of us the most.

"The spell to repel a Boggart is simple, but it takes willpower. You know, what really scares a Boggart is laughter. All you have to do is force it into something you think is ridiculous."

"Let's say this spell without a wand first. Please tell me.. funny funny!"

"Funny funny!" the whole class said in unison. "Okay," said Professor Lupine, "very well. But, I'm afraid that's just the easy part. Saying the incantation isn't enough, you know. It's up to you, Neville."

"If Neville succeeds, this Boggart may turn his attention to each of you in turn," said Professor Lupine. "Now, you take out your wands, and I hope each of you takes a moment to , think about what you are most afraid of, and imagine how you can force it to look ridiculous..." The room suddenly became relatively quiet, but many students muttered with.

When Neville successfully turned Professor Snape who came out of the closet into a ridiculously colorfully dressed Professor Snape, the Gryffindor students all started laughing, and many Slytherins suppressed their laughter. , but dare not laugh out loud.

An Ze didn't smile at all, she became nervous all of a sudden, did she visualize what she was afraid of?She stared at the bewildered Boggart standing in the middle of the classroom, and pursed her lips tightly.Fanny noticed Ann's tense atmosphere, she cast a puzzled look at Ann, and when she wanted to ask, Professor Lupine began to let people close to the Boggart come forward to fight against the Boggart.

Ann's lips were drawn into a thin line, and she took a big step back. Originally, she was standing at the periphery of the crowd, but now she became independent from the crowd surrounding Boggart.

Fanny followed Ann and took a step back. She looked at Ann in confusion. She didn't know why Ann was so nervous about the Boggart. It was the first time she had seen Ann look like this. She could see that Ann was nervous, but Ann's There is another emotion in the eyes.

"Ann, what's the matter?" Fanny thought it better to ask.

The knuckles of Ann holding the wand turned white, she forced herself not to look at the Boggart, but put her eyes on the stone wall of the room, comforting herself in her heart that she was far away from the Boggart, and that incident had already happened. passed.

Fanny looked at Ann without speaking, and stared at other places, feeling a little worried, but she didn't continue to ask, she just looked at Ann with puzzled eyes.

At this time, the crowd around the Boggart screamed. Someone turned the Boggart into a red balloon.The balloon flew right in front of Ann.

There was a snap.The red balloon disappeared, and a gray door appeared in the air. There was a piece of frosted glass on the door. Two shadows reflected on the blurry frosted glass, a man and a woman, seemed to be having a conversation.But this scene lasted only about a second, and the door began to twist and twist rapidly, turning into a huge black shadow, the top of the black shadow almost reached the ceiling of the room, the black shadow gradually solidified, a skeleton wearing a black cloak , holding a huge scythe shining with cold light, emerged in the room.

When seeing the black shadow congealing, many students gasped, and their eyes showed a look of fear.

When Ann saw the gray door appear, her hands and feet froze on the spot. Her eyes were full of fear and fear. She staggered back two steps, turned around and ran out of the room.
