Chapter 305 The Destroyed Boggart
"Traveling together can make Boggart helpless, but to repel him you need laughter, which requires turning Boggart into something you think is funny.
A very simple spell can do it, but it requires strong willpower."
"Practice now, don't use the wand first." Professor Lupin looked at the many students in front of him, "Read after me, funny funny (Reddick Jules)."
"Funny funny." The Gryffindor students said in unison.
"Very good, louder, speak clearly, listen carefully... funny funny."
"Funny funny."
"Very good, simple practice here." Professor Lupin said, "Next, I will guide you to practice.
Neville, please come here."
"Lupin." Snape's tone was a little teasing, "Maybe no one has reminded you, but I suggest you change someone, Longbottom can't do anything complicated."
Neville took a small step back stiffly, his face flushed.
He was shy to begin with, and now that Snape pointed it out to him in person, he was so embarrassed that he wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
"I think he can do very well." Professor Lupin raised his eyebrows and said meaningfully: "Neville Longbottom is an excellent wizard, but he lacks the right guidance.
Neville, don't be shy, come on!"
Neville's body kept shaking, and he stumbled to Professor Lupin.
"Neville, what are you most afraid of?" Professor Lupin asked.
"Professor Snape." Neville said nervously, his voice smaller than a mosquito.
"What? Sorry, I didn't hear clearly."
Neville swallowed his saliva, looked tremblingly in the direction of Snape, and was almost crying with grievance.
When Snape was not here, he might have had a little courage to say his name, but now he really didn't dare.
"Oh!" Professor Lupin stretched out his tone and said thoughtfully: "I think I understand, Professor Snape, right? Many people are afraid of him.
Neville, you live with your grandmother, right?"
"Yes, I don't want the Boggart to look like her either."
"No, I won't." Lupin shook his head slightly, "Think about how your grandmother dresses, just think about her clothes, think clearly."
"She holds a red handbag..."
"No need to say it, as long as you see it, we will see it." Lupin said meaningfully, "Okay, when I open the wardrobe, I want you to do this, think about Professor Snape wearing your grandmother's clothes."
Hearing this, the Gryffindor students all laughed, and the Boggart in the wardrobe began to shake violently.
"This is a bit too much." Aaron said with a gloomy face. He understood why Professor Snape called him over to mess things up.
If Snape is the representative of Slytherin, then Lupin must be the representative of Gryffindor, which is simply a copy of Draco Malfoy and Harry Potter.
Snape stood there expressionlessly, just watching indifferently, as if he had expected this and had no intention of stopping it.
Professor Lupin signaled others to step back and make room for Neville, leaving him alone in front of the wardrobe.
"Let's start, wands ready." Professor Lupin drew out his wand, "One, two, three."
The door handle of the wardrobe turned, and Professor Snape in a black robe walked out aggressively.
"Think quickly, Neville, think quickly." Lupin reminded Neville behind him.
Watching Professor Snape walk towards him step by step, Neville nervously drew out his wand, "Funny, funny."
Snape staggered back a step, and the black robe on his body turned into a green long skirt. He wore a hat with a vulture specimen and a brown scarf, and held a red handbag in his hand.
Neville was relieved, he knew he succeeded.
The other Gryffindors also laughed out loud, among which Lupin's laughter was the loudest.
"That's too much." Aaron wanted to walk over angrily, but Snape held his shoulder tightly.
"Don't go."
"Professor Snape, can you tolerate this?"
"Don't do meaningless things. Longbottom will pay the price for his behavior." Snape said meaningfully, but seeing the dark anger looming in his eyes, Aaron shuddered suddenly and silently mourned for Neville Longbottom in his heart for a second.
Now you are happy, and you will definitely have a hard time in the potion class in the future.
"Great, Neville, incredible." Lupin laughed and said, "Everyone line up, one by one."
Everyone became very interested in Boggart and lined up spontaneously. Lupin even played a song to set the atmosphere.
"Everyone think of what they are most afraid of, and then make it very funny.
Next, Ron."
Ron stepped forward nervously, and Professor Snape, wearing a grandmother's costume, quickly flipped in the air and turned into a huge spider the moment he landed.
Ron's face turned green, and he backed away while pulling out his wand.
"Funny, funny."
The spider had a skate on each of its six legs, and its legs were out of control, so it could only lie on the ground and twitch continuously.
"Hahaha!" Lupin laughed, "Did you see that? It's so exciting, it's really hilarious."
"Next."
The spider turned into a huge rattlesnake, and the female student standing opposite it looked a little panicked.
"Don't panic, don't panic." Professor Lupin reminded carefully.
"Funny."
The rattlesnake transformed into a clown, rocking back and forth.
After that, the laughter in this classroom never stopped.
A feast of transfiguration was clearly displayed in front of everyone's eyes. The blood-stained mummy tripped over its own bandage, the female ghost emitting green light turned into a mouse, and the severed hand was caught in a mousetrap... ...
Snape stood by silently, making no comment.
It wasn't until it was Harry Potter's turn that he bumped the chair next to him with his arm. Aaron, who was taking a nap, opened his eyes in a daze.
"get out of class is over?" Aaron yawned.
"What's the end of get out of class?" Professor Snape said speechlessly, "It's your turn."
Aaron was stunned for a moment, then turned around and saw Harry Potter walking up to him eager to try. He couldn't help but roll his eyes, "Professor Snape, are you... As for that?"
"Don't let me down, otherwise Dumbledore will..."
"I'll go." Aaron interrupted speechlessly, "Isn't it okay if I go?"
Professor Snape nodded with satisfaction, and then looked at Lupine, "Lupin, I think you don't mind if my best student joins the team, right?
Mr. Gaius was more interested in this Boggart and wanted to try it out in advance. "
Professor Luping was stunned for a moment and looked at Aaron meaningfully, "Really?"
Aaron: ...
It’s fake, don’t get me wrong.
This is what he said and has nothing to do with me.
Seeing that Aaron didn't answer, Snape pushed him quietly from behind. Aaron nodded reluctantly and gave a forced smile, "Really."
Lupine glanced at Snape behind him and seemed to understand something. He smiled and said, "Okay, then line up behind Harry. There is still a chance before get out of class ends."
The smile on Aaron's face was even more forced, because there were several Gryffindors behind Harry Potter, and they were looking at him with resentful eyes.
"Professor Snape forced me to do this." Aaron comforted himself in his heart, "I am innocent."
Harry stepped forward and looked at the twitching severed hand in front of him with excitement, thinking about what he should turn into the thing he was most afraid of.
The severed hand spun a few times in mid-air and turned into a dementor. Long breathing sounds came from its mouth, and a biting chill hit its face.
Harry seemed to be frightened, and his body became a little stiff.
Aaron was hesitating whether to help, when Lupine quickly stood in front of Harry.
The Dementor changed again, turning into a night scene, with a full moon slowly emerging among the black clouds.
Roar!
Abbey suddenly jumped up to Aaron and growled at Professor Lupine warily.
Aaron looked at this scene in astonishment, and then glanced at Professor Snape, who had taken out his wand at some point. He looked as if he was ready to take action at any time.
Gulu!
Aaron swallowed, and a guess came to his mind that made him feel ridiculous.
No wonder Abe said Professor Lupine was a time bomb on the Hogwarts train. If he was not wrong, then he could only express his admiration for Dumbledore.
Anyone dares to go to school to get it. You are really not afraid of teaching accidents!
"Funny."
Professor Lupine recited the spell loudly, and the full moon turned into a deflated balloon that kept scurrying around the staff room.
Professor Snape waved his wand vigorously, and he locked the shriveled balloon into the cabinet.
"Let's get started, Gaius, class is about to end."
Hearing this, Aaron shrugged and walked to the closet.
The cabinet shook violently, and then a gap opened, but nothing happened.
"What are you doing?" Snape frowned, "Think about what you fear most."
"I've been thinking about it." Aaron said anxiously. Past experiences appeared in his mind one by one, but there were few that could really scare him.
Ten seconds later, the wardrobe was completely opened, and a gentle man walked out of it, wearing a wizard's robe with the Slytherin logo on it.
"Tom Riddle." Harry murmured in disbelief. Hermione and Ron also took half a step back in panic, but on second thought, this was not that surprising. After all, the mysterious man is on the mind of almost every wizard. of fear.
"Get lost!" Aaron turned his face away with disdain.
Who do you think I am? Even the defeated generals under his command dare to come out and scare people.
The smile on Riddle's face froze instantly, as if he was in a downtime.
After a while, the Boggart changed again, turning into a dwarf wearing a crown and gold and silver, but his eyes were lifeless.
"Uh...can you change it to another one?" Aaron said with some disgust, "I must have a fearful side in my heart, but you can't use him to insult me, okay?"
