Chinese students at Hogwarts.

Chapter 274 The Boggart arrived late but
Because Snape's behavior aroused strong indignation among the young wizards, when Professor Lupine finally returned, the young wizards immediately complained in all directions.

"It's not fair, he just came to substitute for the class, why did he give us homework?"

"We don't know what a werewolf is—"

"—two rolls of parchment!"

"He even deducted points from us casually!"

Ron's voice was the saddest. He raised his hands to show the scars left intentionally:
"I dealt with horned toads and hedgehog balls for three whole nights! Snape even threatened me to ask me to get spider venom next time!"

Werewolf?Professor Lupine shook his head slightly, Snape.

He did look like he had been sick. His old robe was even more baggy on his body, and there were thick dark circles under his eyes, making him look sickly.

"Didn't you tell Professor Snape that we haven't learned that yet?" Lupine asked, frowning slightly.

Everyone started talking again.

"Yes, but he said we were too far behind—"

"—he won't listen—"

"He asked us what a werewolf was. Granger knew, but he deducted points from Granger!"

"—Two rolls of parchment! Two whole pages!"

Everyone was filled with indignation and wished that Professor Lupine would immediately pull out his wand and challenge Snape for a duel.

But Zhang Xiao knew that Lu Ping would never take the initiative to cause trouble for Snape, but Snape would not deliberately cause trouble for Lu Ping.

Among the four Marauders, Snape was probably the least hostile to Lupine.

The two sides would be hostile to each other, but that was it. If it were James and Sirius, Snape would never know how to brew the potion, even if Dumbledore ordered him to.

So it was normal for Professor Lupine to just smile slightly at this time.

"Don't worry, I'll tell you Professor Snape - you don't have to write that paper."

Homework that doesn’t require two sheets of parchment?
The little wizards immediately became happy and closed their mouths with satisfaction.

Only Hermione looked disappointed: "Oh no! I've already finished writing."

Harry turned his head in a low voice and said to Zhang Xiao and Malfoy: "She spent more than four hours last night! She looked up information that is almost half as tall as me!"

Malfoy looked at Hermione in confusion, wondering why someone would like to do homework.

"Okay, let's forget about the last lesson, now -" Professor Lupine said, beckoning the whole class to stand up. With a wave of his wand, the tables and chairs immediately dispersed to both sides of the classroom.

The little wizards stood happily in the extra space in the classroom.

Lupine waved his wand again, and a shabby wardrobe standing against the wall suddenly flew over and landed gently at the other end of the classroom.

He walked to the closet and stood still. The closet suddenly shook and hit the ground with a bang.

"Don't worry," said Professor Lupine calmly, as several students jumped back in fright.

“There’s a Boggart in there.

In fact, in the first class, I wanted to give you Boggart lessons, but I didn't expect that your foundation would be so bad, so I had to postpone my plan unfortunately.

Fortunately, everyone studied very seriously and worked very hard——"

Most people felt that there was indeed need to worry. Neville glanced at Professor Lupin with curiosity in his eyes, and Seamus Finnigan peeked at the now shaking cupboard door handle in fear.

"Boggarts like dark, enclosed spaces," Professor Lupine said: "Wardrobes, the space under the bed, the cupboard under the sink - once I came across an old clock hidden in my ancestors' house.

This one was moved in yesterday afternoon. I asked the principal for permission. With Principal Dumbledore's approval, we can now use it for practice.

"So, the first question we have to ask ourselves is, what is a Boggart?"

Hermione raised her hand faster than the afterimage, causing the wind and waves to blow Ron's hair.

"Professor, it is a deformable thing," the little witch said confidently: "It can take on any image it thinks will scare us the most."

"I couldn't say it better myself," Professor Lupin nodded approvingly, and Hermione pursed her lips tightly to prevent herself from smiling.

"So, the Boggart in the closet has not yet taken on any form.

It doesn't know what can scare people outside the door.

No one knows what a Boggart looks like when alone, but when I release it, it will immediately become what each of us fears the most.

"This means" Professor Lu Hu pretended to be ignorant and deliberately ignored the fearful face of the little wizard: "Before we start, we have a huge advantage over Boggarts!"

He suddenly looked at Harry:

"Have you found that advantage, Harry?"

Hermione raised her hands again with a whoosh and jumped up and down on tiptoes.

Her arms were like javelins, pointing straight to the sky.

It would have been embarrassing not to be able to answer the question under the circumstances, but Harry was determined not to let Lupine down.

He racked his brains and answered slowly: "Oh - because there are so many of us, it doesn't know what it should look like, is that right?"

"Excellent, five points from Gryffindor!" Professor Lupine clapped his hands gently.

“When dealing with boggarts, the best way is to have more people.

In this way, it will be at a loss and not know what it should become.

A headless corpse?Or a carnivorous slug?
I once saw a boggart make the mistake of trying to scare two people at the same time, so he turned himself into a half-slug.

To be honest, it's not scary at all.Instead it made us laugh. "

Professor Lupine then introduced the key points and spells for dealing with Boggarts.

The spell is [Funny], but this spell cannot be recited to destroy the Boggart.

This spell is more like a forced transformation spell for the Boggart, forcing the Boggart to become what you want it to be.

Without the fear that strikes you deep inside, the danger posed by the boggart disappears.

After introducing the Boggart, Professor Lupine held the end of the wand with both hands and said solemnly:
“You know, saying this mantra is not enough.

Who comes first?"

The little wizards shook their heads nervously.

He pointed suddenly: "Okay, it's up to you first, Neville!"

The little wizards looked at Neville stepping forward with the same sad eyes as they were sending Neville to the gallows.

But Zhang Xiao immediately cheered up. Neville had changed a lot, but except for your closest friends, who cares what you become?

Even with Snape's actions in Potions class that shook him up for a whole year, everyone's stereotype of Neville still exists.

That is, he is good-tempered, kind, and courageous, but very clumsy.

Neville nodded and walked forward directly. Lupine looked at Neville's calm expression with some surprise.

In the attention list that McGonagall gave him, Neville was the one to focus on, which was basically the original comment.

Interestingly, this is not the "nice person", "good boy", "timid" or "low self-esteem" that Professor McGonagall said.

"Neville——" Professor Lupine said gently, "First thing: What are you most afraid of in the world?"

Neville frowned and thought carefully.

"Speak quickly, this is not allowed after careful consideration!" Professor Lu Ping said happily.

Neville was obviously a little distressed. He sighed: "Before, I was most afraid of Professor Snape."

Almost everyone laughed.

Even Neville himself grinned apologetically.

However, Professor Lupine was thinking deeply.

"Before, Professor Snape...well...Neville, what about now?"

"I don't know, Professor." Neville scratched his head sheepishly.

Lu Ping was also a little confused. He thought for a while: "Okay, let's just try it and find out."

"When the Boggart bursts out of the closet, Neville, and when it sees you, it will manifest what you fear most." Lupine said: "And you, pick up the wand - hold it like this — and shouting 'funny' - and trying to concentrate on something you think is funny."

Neville nodded, and the other little wizards looked nervously at Neville and the wardrobe in front of him - the wardrobe was shaking even more.

"If Neville succeeds, this Boggart may turn his attention to each of you." Professor Lupine is still working hard to instill knowledge.

"Now, I want each of you to take a moment to think about what you fear most, and then imagine how you could force it to become something that looks ridiculous..."

The room was quiet.

Harry thought about what scared him the most in the world?
Voldemort jumped out immediately, with scarlet eyes and a thin nose.

Harry shivered and looked around, hoping no one had noticed him.

Many of the students had their eyes closed, and Ron muttered to himself, "Take its legs off."

Harry knew what Ron was talking about: Ron's biggest fear was spiders.

Hermione had already covered her mouth: "Oh no! Failed!"

Zhang Xiao also began to think, what am I most afraid of?
Monsters and monsters?Or is it a dream?No, this is not a dream. This kind of reality has been tested countless times.

But the idealistic power of magic is really like dreaming
In short, I am very curious!
"Is everyone ready?" asked Professor Lupine.

Harry felt a twinge of terror - he wasn't prepared.

Everyone else is nodding and rolling up their sleeves.

"Neville, we are going to retreat," Professor Lupine said, "Let you have an open space, okay?"
I'll call the next person forward... Now, everyone, stand back and give Neville an open space—"

Everyone backed away, back to the wall, leaving Neville alone by the wardrobe.

It's just that many young wizards are surprised that there is not much fear on Neville's round face.

He slowly rolled up his sleeves on both sides, looking calm and leisurely, already holding the wand in his hand.

"I'm counting to three, Neville," said Professor Lupin, pointing his wand at the wardrobe. "One—two—three—go!"

A burst of sparks shot from the end of the professor's wand, which struck the handle of the closet door.

The closet door opened, but nothing came out.

But Neville's expression suddenly froze.

There was only one tombstone in the closet. With his extraordinary eyesight, Zhang Xiao could see the words on it at a glance.

This is the tombstone of Frank and Alice. The cause of death was fighting Voldemort again after recovering.

The little wizards stretched their necks and looked at the tombstone curiously, but they didn't know what was scary about this tombstone.

But looking at Neville's expression, it was obvious that this tombstone had a great impact on him.

Zhang Xiao looked worriedly at the young man in front of him who lowered his head and said nothing. If he had never had it, he would not be like this.

The most hurtful thing is to have something but then lose it.

Neville held the wand and felt a tearing pain in his heart. He was silent for a while, but finally let out a sigh of relief.

He raised his wand: "If there is such a day, I think they must be voluntary.

So – hilarious!”

There was a crisp sound, like the sound of a whip.

The tombstone suddenly and rapidly transformed into a very enchanting Snape in women's clothing;
He was wearing a long, embroidered dress, a tall hat with a moth-eaten old vulture specimen on top, and a huge scarlet handbag dangling in his hand.

Neville grinned, this was what he had always wanted to do.

The whole class burst into laughter; the Boggart paused, confused;
Professor Lupine breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly struck while the iron was hot, and shouted loudly: "Parvati, come forward!"

Parvati stepped forward, face sullen.

Snape walked around her.There was another crack, and where Snape had stood was now a bandaged, bloody mummy;
Its sightless eyes turned to Parvati and began to walk towards her, very slowly, shuffling its feet and raising its stiff arms - "Funny!" Parvati shouted.

The bandages on the mummy's feet came undone; it staggered under the unraveled bandages, fell face forward, and rolled its head off.

"Seamus!" cried Professor Lupine.

Seamus hurried over Parvati and stepped forward.

Bang! The place where the mummy had been was now a woman, with black hair that reached all the way to the ground, and a face that was just a skeleton, and was still green—a female ghost.

She opened her mouth wide, and an inhuman voice filled the room, a long and shrill scream that made Harry's hair stand on end - "Funny!" Seamus shouted.

The female ghost made a tearing sound, grabbed her throat, and her voice was gone.

Crack! The ghost turned into a mouse, circling for its tail, and—crack! A rattlesnake, slithering and twisting—and—clap! It was a bloody eyeballs.

"It's lost its head!" cried Professor Lupine. "We've gone one step further! Dean!"

Dean hurried forward.

Crack! The eyeball became a severed hand, and the hand bounced around and began to crawl along the floor like a crab.

"Funny funny!" Dean exclaimed.

With a crisp sound, the hand was caught by the rat clip.

"Great! Ron, you're next!"

Ron stepped forward confidently.

Bang! Several people screamed.

A giant spider, six feet tall and covered in fur, was crawling towards Ron, waving its claws menacingly as it went.

Ron let out a 'hiccup' sound from his throat and froze upright.

Fortunately, he hadn't fainted yet, and then - "Funny!" Ron yelled, and the spider's legs disappeared.

"Granger!"

Hermione took a step forward, eager to try.

The spider kept rolling and suddenly exploded again. In the smoke, Professor McGonagall's voice came:
"Granger, you're fired!"

Professor McGonagall, with her hair in a high bun and a straight face, walked out, holding a report sheet in her hand, shaking it constantly:

"Fail every exam! Hogwarts doesn't need stupid students like you!"

Hermione let out a sharp cry, covered her face and began to cry softly.

All the little wizards in the class can hold duck eggs in their mouths - Merlin!How could anyone's worst fear be failing a class and getting kicked out? ? ?
Is this a scholar?

Not only the little wizard, but even Lupine didn't expect it. He was stunned for a moment and looked at Hermione who was about to collapse.

Lu Ping thought for a while and winked at Zhang Xiao.

Zhang Xiao understood instantly and immediately patted Malfoy on the shoulder.

Malfoy was worthy of being the king's deputy, and even though he was slightly stunned, he immediately understood. The two of them stepped forward and helped Hermione up.

Other little wizards with better relationships also hurried forward and took the crying little witch back (Hermione, that's a Boggart! You have not been expelled!)

Zhang Xiao was alone on the field facing Bogut.

'Professor McGonagall' turned her attention to herself, not just Zhang Xiao herself.

Even the little wizards held their breath.

What is Zhang, the school's most influential figure, the legendary 'Dumbledore's successor' and 'the next legend' afraid of?
A knowing smile appeared on 'Professor McGonagall''s face.

Then it exploded into a ball of mist——(To be continued)
