DNF Meets Harry Potter

"Okay, now everyone, please come here!"

Lupine no longer paid attention to the gloomy old bat Snape, and smiled at the little wizards whose faces were full of curiosity, quickly adjusted their emotions, and led them to a place where Next to the old wardrobe.

But when everyone was approaching with his footsteps, the old wardrobe suddenly shook violently, and the door of the wardrobe was slammed, as if some ominous ghost was about to come out of it.

"Please don't worry~..." Professor Lupine said calmly, because several students were scared back a few steps, "It's just a Boggart inside."

Most of the students were indeed worried that something might happen. The cowardly Neville even gave Professor Lupine a look of horror, while Alex beside Carl looked worriedly at the rattling door.

"Boggarts like dark spaces, so I locked them in the closet~..." Professor Lupine continued, "You can find them in the closet, the space under the bed, and some dark places in the kitchen cabinet under the sink I've even seen it in my grandfather's clock.

And I just found this from Mr. Filch's safe deposit box yesterday, and I asked the headmaster if I could use it to give practical lessons to the third graders~..."

After introducing the environment in which Boggarts like to live and their origins, Luping paused, and then asked the first question: "So, we must first ask ourselves, what is a Boggart, does anyone know?"

As soon as Lupine finished asking questions, most of the little wizards in Ravenclaw immediately raised their hands. Only a small number of people did not raise their hands, but they were still thinking calmly. On the other hand, on the Gryffindor side, only Hermione maintained the last face of the lion cubs. Most Gryffindors were dumbfounded after hearing this question.

What is this thing? .jpg

"A Boggart? There was a lot of disagreement in the wizarding world when it came to whether a Boggart was a black magic creature or not.

Was Professor Lupine's first practical lesson all that it was? This really disappoints me~…”

Before Lupine could speak, Snape began to taunt in a strange way.

"Severus~, I think everything needs a gradual process, doesn't it? Besides, I'm new here, so I always have to understand the real situation of my classmates before I can teach students according to their aptitude~..."

Facing Snape's sarcasm, Lupine replied calmly without panicking.

"In this case, I hope you can do this as soon as possible~..."

Snape snorted coldly, did not speak again, and chose to continue watching the play. He knew that waiting for the little wizards to face the fear in their hearts would be the best time for him to attack.

"It seems that Ravenclaw knows more students~...

Could Mr. Grace please introduce to us what is a Boggart? "

Lupine, who had just been interrupted by Snape, readjusted himself, looked at the Ravenclaws who raised their hands high and said with a smile.

The little wizard called Grace by Lupin stood up very happily, and the students around him cast envious glances at him.

"Nobody ever knew what the Boggart really was, because it's shape-shifting," he said. "It's going to be whatever it thinks scares us the most."

"Perfect answer!" Lupine nodded approvingly: "So I think I will add five points to Ravenclaw."

"Please listen carefully, and let me explain it more carefully." Lupine spread his hands and said with a smile, "As Mr. Grace said, Boggarts don't have a specific shape in the dark. Because he still doesn't know what shape can scare the people outside the door.

Nobody knows what shape Bugert takes when he's alone, but once he's out there, he instantly takes on the shape that scares us the most. "

When Neville heard Lupine and Grace's definition of Boggart, he was so anxious that he almost cried. He is the least courageous, and he is almost powerless when facing this kind of magical creature.

"That means~..." Lupine deliberately ignored Neville's panic and said, "We have a big advantage over Bugert from the beginning, do you see it?"

Facing the new question raised by Lupine, most of the young wizards were lost in thought, even Hermione was no exception. Carl remembered that the Boggart didn't seem to have a high IQ. He thought for a while and raised his right hand with interest.

"Well~, I remember that Boggarts, like dementors, are formed by the condensation of people's dark emotions, so they will never be extinct, but their intelligence is much lower than that of dementors, and they will only follow their own instincts Action. So what happens when a Boggart faces two people at the same time?

So our advantage~...well~, I think it's because there are too many of us, and it doesn't know what shape it should form to be the scariest? "

Carl replied eloquently, finally looked at Lupine, smiled and said, "Am I right, Professor?"

"A wonderful answer, without any loopholes! Ravenclaw plus ten points!" Lupine applauded Carl's wonderful speech.

"Mr Harris' answer was equally perfect!

So when you're dealing with a boggart, it's best to have a companion, he'll be confused, what shape to use, a headless corpse or a man-eating slug?

I once saw a boggart made a big mistake - he wanted to scare two people at the same time, the upper body turned into a slug and the lower body was a human body, who knows that it is not scary at all, but it is because of this fatal mistake Let yourself turn into a wisp of green smoke and finally disappear. "

"Half slug and half human are of course not scary. Try changing the slug head into a dead fish head to become a deep diver, and you will be sure to scare your soul away~..."

Listening to Lupine's case, Carl couldn't help but secretly complained in his heart. Back then, when he saw the deep diver transforming for the first time in Innsmouth, he almost vomited out his overnight meal.

"Professor~, then may I ask if the two wizards used powerful magic to kill the Boggart after seeing through its flaws?"

Unlike Carl's complaints, Harry raised his hand excitedly after hearing this case. He can't learn Carl's magic, so what he lacks most now is attack magic. Lupine started thinking wildly when he said this.

"No, Harry, the two of them disappeared without a single magic Boggart. There's an easy way to defeat a Boggart, but it requires willpower. Boggarts fear nothing more than laughing. You have to think hard. The shape of something you think is funny, and then it naturally explodes into thousands of wisps of smoke and disappears~..."
