Chapter 225 Boggart
The Lavenclaws have long wanted to take the Black Magic Defense Class.
This semester, the little wizards in Gryffindor were the first academy to attend the Dark Magic Defense Class.
After they finished the trip, they boasted about their experiences in dealing with Boggart, which made the little wizards of Ravenclaw both curious and expectant.
"Okay," Professor Lupin said when he saw that everyone was ready, "you come with me."
The students were both puzzled and interested, and stood up and followed Professor Luping out of the classroom.
He led them through the empty corridor and around a corner, and they saw the Pipi who liked to play pranks at first sight.
Everyone thought that Pipi was going to make trouble, but unexpectedly, it turned around and left, and it could be called a fleeing in panic.
The Lavenclaws looked at the ragged Professor Lupin with admiration. They all heard about Professor Lupin's remediation of Pipi ghosts.
In fact, Pipi Ghost saw Alan who had just curbed him last night!
The impression of being penetrated by an iron spear, tightly bound and unable to escape was too deep.
Therefore, when Pipi ghost swept Alan in the crowd, he turned around and ran away.
Professor Lupin led the young wizards through the second corridor and stopped outside the door of the faculty lounge.
"Get in." Professor Lupin said, and he opened the door and took a step back.
The teacher's lounge is a long room with wooden boards on all four walls, and the house is filled with unsuitable old chairs.
There were no teachers in the house, and the classmates entered the house one after another.
"Thank you very much for the professors, they all support the Dark Magic Defense Arts class and have specially cleared this lounge for me." Professor Lupin closed the door.
"Okay." Professor Luping said, signaling the students to walk towards the other end of the room.
There was only an old wardrobe there, and the teachers put the replacement robes inside.
Professor Luping walked over and stood next to the wardrobe. The wardrobe suddenly trembled and hit the wall with a bang.
"No need to worry," Professor Lupin said calmly when he saw several classmates jumping back in shock, "There is a Boggot inside."
Most students seem to think this is exactly what needs to be worried about.
With the vigorous publicity of the Gryffindor wizards, everyone knows that it is Boggart, but listening to the thrilling descriptions of the little lions, Lavenclaws will inevitably be nervous.
"Oh, Professor Traurini said I might encounter unknown this week!" Padma Patil glanced at Professor Lupin in horror.
Marietta Aikemo stared at the clicking cabinet door handle in fear.
"Bogt likes dark and enclosed spaces," said Professor Lupin. "The closet, the space under the bed, the cupboard under the pool - once I met someone who lived in the Master's Bell."
"Now, the first question we have to ask ourselves is: What is Boggot?" Professor Lupin looked around the little wizard in the room.
The Lavenclaws looked at Allen in unison.
Professor Lupin followed their eyes and said, "Allen, it seems that everyone is looking for answering this question!"
"Bogt is a magical creature in the magic world, a transformed creature that will see through your heart and become what you fear the most." Allen said.
After a pause, he added: "Bogt's scary purpose seems to be to feed on human fears, rather than to use its ability to defend itself. Because of this, it is considered a black magic creature."
"I can't say it more clearly myself, Ravenclaw added five points," said Professor Lupin.
The little wizards of Ravenclaw had smiles on their faces, and they felt they began to like the poorest professor in Hogwarts.
"So, Bogt who stays in this dark cabinet has no specific shape yet. It doesn't know what the people outside the cabinet door are afraid of. No one knows what Bogt looks like when he is alone, but as long as I put it out, it will immediately become what each of us fears the most."
Professor Lupin reminded the young wizards, and the Ravenclaws listened carefully, and no one wanted to be embarrassed in front of their classmates.
"That's to say," Professor Lupin continued, Padma muttered incoherently intimidatedly, only to pretend he didn't hear it, "we have a great advantage in front of Boggart. Have you found this advantage?"
The Lavenclaws looked at Allen again.
Professor Lupin shook his head and said, "No, no, no, you can't always expect Allen to give you the answer. You need to think about it yourself. Think about it, you are the smart Ravenclaw!"
Michael Kona raised his hand hesitantly.
Professor Lupin pointed his finger at him and looked at him encouragingly.
"I think it's because we have so many people, and it doesn't know what shape it should be?" Michael said his thoughts.
"Very right," Professor Lupin said, but did not give Michael a bonus.
"When dealing with Boggart, it's best to go together. This will make it confused: Should it become a skull without a head, or a meat-eating slug? I once saw a Boggart make this mistake - it wants to scare two people at the same time, but turns itself into a half slug, not scary at all."
"The spell to repel Bogt is very simple, but it requires a strong willpower. You know, what really makes Bogtt completely doomed is laughter. What you need is to force it to become an image you find funny."
"We won't practice the spell with our wands for now. Please read it with me... Funny and funny!"
"Funny!" said the whole class.
"Very good," said Professor Lupin, "very good. But this is still the simplest part. You know, this mantra alone is not enough. Who wants to try it first?"
Everyone, look at me, and I look at you, no one wants to step forward.
Seeing this, Allen wanted to be the first to give everyone a demonstration.
But Professor Lupin shook his head and said, "Allen, I have no doubt that you can beat Boggart, but I think you will be more suitable as the one who will solve it in the end."
"Was no one willing to try the first thing except Alan?" Professor Lupin seemed a little disappointed.
"Well, I hope everyone is taking some time now to think about what you fear the most and then imagine how to make it funny..."
There was silence in the classroom.
Allen was also thinking...What is he most afraid of in this world?
Maybe it was my secret of resurrection from the dead that was exposed!
So what kind of image will Boggart have?
Could it be what I used to be?
Or, is it like when you were in a car accident?
