Chapter 332: Something Shirley Fears
In the first class, there will be practical exercises to give the students strength. It was Lockhart who did this last time.
He brought a group of goblins into the classroom, and then... nothing more.
Since then, Lockhart has become a great "dramaist", only daring to perform stage plays in the classroom, requiring magical creatures, and always letting students make cameos.
It can be seen that the practical class is really a technical task for the current Defense Against the Dark Arts class, and if it is not done well, the professor will be stressed.
I saw that Sirius took out a large cabinet and put it in the middle of the classroom. The cabinet was shaking non-stop, and there was a banging sound coming from inside.
Many students looked at the cabinet with horror in their eyes, as if a fire dragon was about to jump out of it.
"Don't be afraid, it's just a Boggart in the box." Sirius explained:
"I searched the school for a long time before I found this poor fellow in Mr. Filch's filing cabinet."
Hearing the name Boggart, many students who had seen it became even more frightened and could not help but back away.
"So, now, can anyone tell me what a Boggart is?"
The Ravenclaw students all raised their hands.
"Miss Lisa Dupin?"
"A boggart is a shape-shifting non-existent dark creature beyond life and death, capable of transforming into anything anyone fears." Dupin replied fluently:
"Because of this shape-shifting ability, no one knows what a Boggart looks like when it's alone."
"Very good, five points for Ravenclaw." Sirius smiled and said:
"But Miss Dupin, I have to correct one thing, it's not like no one knows what a Boggart looks like when he's alone.
I've known wizards who had something like line-of-sight, where they could see boggarts through boxes, and back then, they hadn't transformed. "
Rove knew that Sirius was referring to Mad-Eye Moody. His magic eye could even see through Harry's Invisibility Cloak, and it was indeed a very magical magic item.
Sirius paused for a moment, then continued to introduce:
"Boggarts can transform into anything that anyone is afraid of, which means that what we are afraid of is not the Boggart itself, but the things we are already afraid of."
Sirius pointed at the box that kept hitting, and said softly:
"The best way to get rid of fear is to face it head-on.
So can anyone tell me how to face something that scares you... Hannah Abbott? "
Hannah thought for a while and said, "Maybe...can make it less scary."
"That's right, five points for Hufflepuff." Sirius smiled with satisfaction: "The best way to deal with Boggarts is to make them less scary, preferably funny.
Everyone please tell me... funny funny! "
"Funny funny." The whole class read it along.
"Very well, you already know the spells against Boggarts." Sirius continued:
"Next, you have to rely on your imagination, think about what you are most afraid of, and then imagine how you can force it to look ridiculous... Then, we will start."
Pointing at the cabinet with Sirius' wand, he opened the door handle of the cabinet, and soon a corpse fell out.
It was a black-haired man who looked like a big Harry. There was a deep wound on his neck, which looked like a big mouth, which was full of dried blood clots. There were only a few tendons connecting the head and neck. .
The body quickly transformed into a young red-haired witch with a pale face and green eyes wide open.
When many students saw the two corpses, they felt that breakfast was churning in their stomachs.
Looking at the bodies of James and Lily, Sirius forced his lips together, raised his wand and said, "Funny funny."
A wedding dress appeared on Lily's body, with a smile on her face, and her terrifying appearance disappeared immediately.
"Who's first? Susan Burns?"
Susan trotted forward, and Lily disappeared into a scary clown with oil paint on her face.
After he raised his hand to cover his ugly face, he gently wiped it down, as if the whole face had been peeled off, revealing a bloody and terrifying face.
Susan swallowed, seeming a little scared.
"Susan, hold your wand tightly, don't get scared, the wand must be integrated with your hand." Sirius said loudly: "Will your hand fall off? Of course not."
Susan gripped her wand tightly, and she exclaimed, "Funny funny."
The clown fell down with a "slap", he curled up into a ball, rolled on the ground, and then did a backflip.
This fall made the students laugh out loud.
"Very well, Hannah Abbott...it's your turn."
Hannah walked forward, and the clown disappeared into a monster-like big dog with three heads, three pairs of rolling eyes, and three bloody mouths, drooling constantly.
Apparently, in the first grade, Hannah sneaked to the restricted area on the fourth floor and saw Lu Wei, the three-headed dog.
"Funny funny," Hannah yelled, and the three dog heads disappeared and became three cute cat heads, meowing.
"It's wonderful." Sirius took the lead in applauding.
When it was Justin's turn, the boggart turned into a female ghost, with black hair dragging to the ground, pale face and dark eyes.
Then the female ghost's chest swelled up at an indescribable speed, like two big pumpkins, and finally turned into an E-cup directly, so that the female ghost's clothes almost burst.
Now even Sirius had to admire Justin's imagination and gave him an extra point.
And McMillan, who fears endless homework.
He directly let the homework be ignited, and a raging fire ignited in the classroom.
When it was Rove's turn, all the students held their breath, many of them were curious about what he was afraid of.
Rove stared at Boggart, and there was a sudden "ding" in his brain.
[A wild boggart was detected, triggering side missions:]
[Treat Bogut's appearance anxiety, let him recognize his true appearance]
Bonus magic:
【Phantom of Fear】
[It can be like a Boggart and become the thing that animals fear the most]
At this moment, the Boggart made a crackling sound, and then it turned into a cracked black leather case.
The black leather case has been destroyed, and the inside of the case is empty, and all the magical creatures have escaped.
Rove took a deep breath, okay... This is indeed the last scene he wanted to see, it was a disaster.
He raised his wand high and said, "Funny funny."
The black leather case closed immediately, and countless locks appeared around it, locking all the exits.
Shirley stepped forward quickly and stood in front of the box.
In the classroom, all the boys raised their heads. They were very curious about what this Ravenclaw flower who was usually silent but grew more beautiful was afraid of.
Even Rove was curious and couldn't help but look up.
But the next moment something stunned happened, and the Boggart snapped into... Rove.
This scene was beyond everyone's expectations. They didn't expect that Shirley was most afraid of Rove. The little wizards looked at each other and cast curious glances at Rove from time to time.
What has he done to scare Shirley?
Many male students gritted their teeth. Could it be that this guy looks gentle and gentle on the surface, but he is actually a beast with a human face and a heart behind his back?
Rove was also in a daze, he had nothing to be afraid of.
I saw Rove, who was transformed into a Boggart, with a straight face and an extremely indifferent tone: "You have been fired, and don't come into my box again."
Rove was dumbfounded, and the expression on his face was wonderful.
The ponytail girl's face was as white as snow. She took a deep breath, raised her wand and pointed at Boggart and said, "Funny, funny."
Rove is still the same Rove, his appearance has not changed, but this time he has a smile on his face. He took out a large bag of Galleons from his pocket and said:
"Shirley, I want to give you a raise."
"..."
In the distance, Rove didn't hold back, coughing violently, the girl with ponytail turned her head and smiled embarrassedly.
