Chapter 225 What Is Allen Afraid Of? (Already Edited)
Allen no longer thought about it. Instead, he looked at the other classmates.
Many students had their eyes closed tightly, some were holding on to their robes with their fingers; some were shaking their heads slightly; others opened their eyes warily and quietly took a few steps back.
Padma murmured something in her mouth, and Allen's ears were sharp and he heard her say: "Don't come over, go away..."
"Is everyone ready?" Professor Lupine asked.
Allen didn't know if he was ready, but Professor Lupine said that he would be the last person to deal with the Boggart.
And he is also confident that he can definitely deal with Boggart.
Therefore, Allen stood aside extremely calmly.
The other students nodded and rolled up their sleeves.
"Then who comes first?" Professor Lupine asked.
Michael Corner stepped up.
Allen is very fond of Michael, not only because of his black hair, but also because when Malfoy and the others bullied Luna, Michael was able to stand up without fear of Malfoy's threat.
"Very good, Michael! Let's all step back," Professor Lupine said, "leaving a space for you, okay? At that time, I will call the next classmate to come forward... Okay, everyone, please step back. Finally, make room for Michael—"
Alan glanced at Professor Lupin in surprise.
If Professor Lupine could call him by name, it was because he was on the train.
So, now that he could call Michael's name accurately, it was definitely not an accident.
Professor Lupine is indeed a good teacher.
Allen made an evaluation in his mind.
Perhaps because it was hard-earned, we cherish it more?
The classmates all retreated to the wall, leaving Michael standing alone by the closet.
He looked a little pale, but he didn't back away.
Now Michael had rolled up the sleeves of his robes and raised his wand at the ready.
"I'm counting to three, Michael," said Professor Lupin, pointing his own wand at the wardrobe door handle. "One—two—three—go!"
A stream of sparks shot from the tip of Professor Lupin's wand, hitting the spherical doorknob.
The closet door suddenly opened, and a mummy with blood-stained straps all over its body and red eyes came out menacingly, staring at Michael fiercely.
It dragged its feet and slowly walked towards Michael step by step, and raised its stiff arms - Michael seemed to be stunned and motionless.
"Michael!" Padma screamed.
Surprisingly, Michael did not retreat but advanced. He pointed at the mummy with a pale face and shouted: "Funny!"
A bandage at the mummy's feet unraveled, and the mummy tripped and fell to the ground, its head rolling to the side.
"Padma!" Professor Lupine shouted.
Padma seemed to be inspired by Michael's courage, gritted her teeth and rushed forward from Michael.
Snapped! The mummy disappeared, and instead a skull appeared, with leathery purple and green skin and black eyes that glowed like briquettes.
The skeleton's dry black lips curled back, as if roaring in anger.
"What kind of skeleton is this? Why isn't it white?"
Michael, who had finally dealt with the Boggart, had just recovered from his excitement when he was startled by the skull in front of Padma.
"This is a jungle skeleton." Allen looked at Padma with interest, the girl who had been mumbling and terrified before.
The skull floated and flew towards Padma.
Like a big tennis ball, the skull flew very fast, hit Padma's chest, and bounced off her head.
Padma's carefully combed princess-style hair was knocked down and fell messily on Padma's head.
Padma screamed "Funny!"
A net suddenly wrapped around the skull. The skull was running rampant inside, unable to break through. Then, it actually laid an egg!
The students burst into laughter, and the skull froze in place, seemingly confused.
Professor Lupine shouted: "Lise Dupin."
Lisa seemed to rush forward impatiently, and a female ghost in a white robe appeared. Her black hair was dragged to the ground, and her eyes were hollow.
She opened her mouth wide, and suddenly, a weird and terrifying sound echoed in the classroom, a long and sharp scream. Allen's hair stood up when he heard it——
How hard he had charged just now, how quickly he was retreating now.
Lisa screamed, "Slip-slip-funny!"
The female ghost's white robe suddenly turned into a grass skirt, and her black hair was twisted around with a garland of flowers.
Next, the Boggart turned into a rattlesnake, a giant python, a fire-breathing dragon, a giant red ant...
A huge brown gorilla appears in the classroom!
It was at least eight feet tall, with large black eyes and a prominent purple chest.
The gorilla's paws are as big as baseball gloves and its head can hold a basketball.
"That's the ugliest thing I've ever seen!" cried Padma, covering her face with her hands.
"Funny!" roared Anthony Goldstein.
Just like drinking a shrinking potion, the gorilla shrank instantly and turned into a cute little monkey holding a bottle and drinking milk.
Finally, Professor Lupine shouted: "Alan, come forward and kill it."
All the Ravenclaws looked at Allen with great anticipation. They all wanted to know what Allen, who seemed so perfect, omniscient and omnipotent, was afraid of.
Allen stepped forward and subconsciously started the Occlumency technique.
With a "pop!" sound, the Boggart turned into a ticking clock with hands running backwards.
With a "pop!" sound, the Boggart turned into a pile of gold, a piece of red mud, and a wriggling snail...
Next, the boggart twisted faster and faster, spinning on the ground in the middle of the classroom...
"Alan, you are indeed the most talented student I have ever seen." Professor Lupine looked at Alan unexpectedly, "But why don't you face your true self? Only by facing your own fears can you defeat your fears."
Allen blinked. What Professor Lupine said seemed to make sense. He didn't even know what he really feared in his heart, so why was he afraid that it would be exposed in front of others?
Allen released the Occlumency that had been running.
A female ghost with white clothes and black hair appeared in the classroom.
Lisa looked at Allen in surprise. Allen, the best in the grade, was exactly the same as what she was afraid of!
In fact, if you look closely, they are different.
Although the female ghost that the Boggart transformed at this time was also white-clothed and had black hair, her eyes were not empty. Her big eyes were round and seemed to contain infinite malice and resentment, staring straight at Allen.
