Chapter 672 Boggart's True Body

In the wizarding world, there have been many unsolved mysteries about magical creatures since ancient times. They are either elusive and elusive for people to find, or extremely dangerous for people to approach, and even invisible for people to know how to attack.

For example, dementors, dark magical creatures, are usually three meters tall and uniformly wear a black cloak with a hood.

From ancient times to the present, many magical biologists may have wanted to know what they looked like under that cloak. But everyone knows that just getting close to them will suck away all happiness and goodness, and even their souls may be swallowed.

As far as modern wizards know, there is no more effective way to get away from these terrible monsters than the Patronus Charm, let alone study them in detail.

And similar to the mystery of the dementor's true body, there is Boggart.

It is said that until now, no one has actually seen the actual appearance of Boggart. Because every time they meet any kind of creature, they will find out the fear in the other party's heart at the first time, and instantly change into the thing that the other party fears the most.

Maca was "fortunate" to have seen the real face under the dementor's cloak, but even he had never seen what the Boggart's body looked like.

But today, just outside the window of the first-year students' Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom, Maca actually saw the true nature of Boggart through the blessing of a freshman who just entered Hogwarts this year!

At this moment, Maca, who had just hurried over from the History of Magic professor, saw through the window that the little wizards in the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom were still exclaiming, not even Snape behind the podium. Immediately stop their noise with cold words.

On the right hand side of the podium in front of the classroom, a large box was placed on the ground. There, a bigfoot monster in a khaki-colored rag stood motionless in the box, holding its black palm high and frozen in place.

As for the student standing in front of the box, he was seen steadily extending his right arm. He pointed the wand in his hand straight at the monster in front of him, obviously he had cast some spell just now.

Although he could only see the back of the freshman from Maca's side, he recognized it at a glance—it seemed to be Alexander Wolfe who he led into the magic world.

"...Oh! What kind of spell did Alexander use just now?"

"Forget about the spell, this is Boggart's real body!"

"Didn't the book say that no one knows what it looks like? Then this...is it really what it looks like?"

"Who knows? Maybe Alexander finally changed to something he was most afraid of?"

"But this is... what kind of monster is this? Where is it scary?"

Except for the first time, when Snape used a curtain to block the sight of others, and only let the students face the Boggart alone, from the second time on, he didn't do anything extra. So, as the number of times we dealt with Boggarts increased, everyone slowly remembered what everyone else was afraid of.

As far as Snape was concerned, this was of course because after the initial class, everyone would definitely communicate with each other after class. But he also thinks that letting the little wizards laugh and compare with each other is more beneficial for them to get rid of their inner fear as soon as possible.

In this regard, Snape's approach was successful, but even he did not expect that there were students who could solve problems with spells other than the Boggart's banishing spell. Not only that, even the Gryffindor student in front of him even forced out the real body of Boggart!

"Forgetting the Curse?" Snape suppressed the shock in his heart, and said coldly, "Mr. Wolfe, why did you use the second-year spell? Have you mastered all the first-year content? "

Although he also had a little bit of admiration-yes, it was really just a little bit! But what surprised him wasn't the first year's use of the second year charm.

so,

He was still full of disdain for what Alexander did. In his opinion, it was just luck.

A freshman solves a world-class puzzle? Who is this fooling!

"boom!"

Snape picked up the wand on the podium and waved the Boggart directly back into the box, and the lid of the box was shut tightly.

However, a lot of the time, that's the truth. Perhaps Alexander relied on luck, or perhaps he got help from "some people", but now the person who solved the mystery of Boggart's true identity is Alexander Wolf.

Snape glanced at the window with a touch of hesitation, and of course he was looking at Maca standing there.

Maca immediately noticed the gaze aimed at him. Seeing Snape's subtle gaze, he immediately waved his hands, indicating that it had absolutely nothing to do with him.

Seeing this, Snape still curled his lips in disbelief.

Since Snape looked towards the window several times, the little wizards in the classroom naturally discovered the existence of Maca.

Now, in the nonsense of the seniors, many of the freshmen who have been influenced by Maca's deeds have become Maca's supporters. When they saw Maca standing outside the window, many students could not help but greet him, even ignoring Snape's murderous eyes.

Maca, who was watching from the window, nodded to them, then smiled at Snape, and then his eyes fell on Alexander.

At this moment, Alexander also turned around following everyone's gaze, and when he saw Maca behind the window glass, he immediately seemed quite excited.

For him, Maca is a very special existence. Maca has both the friendship that led him into the magical world and the grace to save his father. In addition, Maca's legendary past made him yearn for it, so he naturally became Maca's most loyal supporter.

Upon seeing Maca, Alexander immediately waved his hands excitedly—but he hasn't seen Maca for a while.

Maca looked at Alexander, then at the monster standing in the box, and after thinking for a while, he turned and walked towards the front door of the classroom.

"Click—"

With the turning of the door handle, the door was gently pushed open from the outside.

"Professor Snape, excuse me."

The relationship between Maca and Snape has always been good, even in the most tense period before, they never broke up. Now that Maca opened the door and came in, Snape just nodded his head blankly, and there was no other reaction.

But Maca knew that Snape always liked to remain indifferent in front of the students, and at other times, the two of them would have gotten along very casually.

"Everyone, everyone... I'm Maka McLean, professor of ancient runes," he said, but quickly shook his head and smiled, "Well, although you won't take my elective course until the third grade. I started to get in touch, but it seems that everyone already knows me..."

His words made the little wizards in the classroom burst into laughter. As for the original atmosphere created by Snape, with the accidents in today's class, it finally completely dissipated at this moment.

Behind the podium, Snape looked at the scene in the classroom with a cold face, and couldn't help but snorted softly.

"Okay, it's still class time after all, I didn't come in here to amuse everyone! Be quiet—" Maca quickly pressed his hand, then turned to look to the side, "Alexander, you were just now When dealing with the Boggart, used the Oblivion Curse?"

"Uh... yes, Mr. McLean... oh, professor." Seeing his inquiry, Alexander quickly replied.

"I won't ask why you used the second-year spell. You must have practiced hard..." Maca nodded and said, "What I want to know is, why did you think of using the Forgetting Curse? What about Boggarts? You know, the truth about Boggarts has always been a big question in the magic world."

"This..." Alexander was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, then scratched the back of his head, and said with a slight blushing, "Actually, I didn't expect it to show its true self... I just couldn't deal with it Boggart, it can be seen that everyone is gradually able to use the Boggart Repelling Curse to solve it correctly, so I wonder if we can use other spells..."

"Can't you use the Boggart Repelling Curse?" Maka paused, then thoughtfully said, "Oh, is it... Boggart turned into your mother?"

"The remains of..." Alexander added hesitantly, which showed that he still couldn't get rid of the heavy emotion suppressed in his heart.

"Okay, I basically understand." Maca said, "You use the Oblivion Curse to continuously expel Boggart's memory, so that you can't remember what you are afraid of. Since only a few memory fragments need to be cleared, so Only at your current level can you successfully suppress it with the Oblivion Curse...is that so?"

"Yes, that's right!" Alexander nodded, "Just like you said!"

"Excellent idea," Maca said, turning to Snape. "I suggest giving Gryffindor House some points...Professor Snape, what do you think? Seriously, this is A nice find!"

"Huh? Tsk..." Snape clicked his tongue and said impatiently, "I want to add you."

Maca shrugged when he heard this, and then turned around and said, "Then, because of Mr. Wolff's interesting discovery, he won 5 points for Gryffindor... In addition, I will combine this discovery with Mr. Wolfe's name was included in the letter and sent to Mr. Newt Scamander. I believe that when the next edition of "Monsters and Where They Come from" comes out, this discovery will be known to the whole world."

"Okay, I won't bother you anymore..." He finally waved his hand and said, "Miss Sarah Hohenheim, if you have time after lunch, please come to my office."
