Hogwarts, a Scholar Becomes a God

Vol 6 Chapter 17: Laugh at fear, hero is the only one

UPDATE: Clark and Hermione's good start has made the atmosphere of this Defence Against the Dark Arts class getting better.

"Clark is right, Boggart likes dark places," he patted the old cabinet, "this one just moved in yesterday afternoon, and I asked the principal to let the teachers keep it for me in third grade. Students use it for practical lessons.”

"The Boggart in this dark cabinet has no specific shape yet, and he doesn't know what the people outside the cabinet are afraid of.

So no one knows what Boggart looks like when he's alone, but as soon as I let it out, it instantly becomes the thing each of us fears the most. "

"That means," continued Professor Lupin, "that we have a big advantage over Boggart. Harry, do you see that advantage?"

Harry, who was suddenly named, was taken aback, and he felt awkward when he was unprepared, but he could only take a risk.

"Er—because we have so many—so, it doesn't know what it's supposed to look like?"

"Exactly," said Professor Lupin.

"When dealing with Boggart, the best thing to do is to go together, because that confuses him.

Should it turn into a headless skeleton or a meat-eating slug?

I saw a boggart make this mistake once - he tried to scare two people at the same time and turned himself into a half slug, not scary at all. "

The little wizards were amused by his jokes, and the originally tense atmosphere was swept away.

"The spell to fight off Boggart is very simple, but it requires a lot of willpower. You know, what really kills Boggart is laughter, what you need is to force it into an image that you find funny.

Let's practice the spell without the wand. Please read to me... hilarious! "

"Funny!" the whole class read along with him.

"Very good," said Professor Lupin, "very good! But that's the easy part, you know, the spell alone isn't enough."

He began to direct the students to come forward, but no one wanted to be the first. Clark was not afraid, but in his opinion, going up by himself would not serve the purpose of teaching.

So he pushed his hand forward slightly, and Ron staggered to the front.

"Who…"

Before Ron could shout, Professor Lupin applauded, "Great, your name is Ron, it seems that there are more than two or three outstanding people in Gryffindor."

The vain Ron was immediately framed. He could only bite the bullet and stepped forward tremblingly, as if he was walking on the gallows.

The wardrobe was shaking again, but Ron was shaking more than it was.

"Very well, Ron," said Professor Lupin. "The most important thing first: what do you say you are most afraid of in this world?"

Ron's lips moved, but there was no sound.

"I'm sorry, Ron, I didn't catch it," said Professor Lupin genially. "Please speak up."

Ron's body shuddered, and he looked around in panic, as if begging for someone to help him.

Then, in a barely audible voice, he said, "Spider, huge spider."

Almost everyone laughed, which made Ron's ears flush red and couldn't help but retort:

"If you held a teddy bear when you were kids, and your brother turned into a giant, hairy spider, you would do the same!"

The surrounding students laughed louder, but Professor Lupin looked thoughtful.

"The big hairy spider... um... Ron, that's really scary, and I think a lot of people scream when they see it, so it's nothing to be ashamed of."

"Er—yeah," said Ron uneasily.

"But I thought it would be fun to make that spider's fur grow longer and wrap it around its legs and trip it up."

Professor Lupin said with a smile on his face, "Can you imagine what I said?"

"I'll try my best," Ron said uncertainly, obviously worried about what's coming next.

"Don't worry, you can. Ron, when Boggart comes out of the closet and sees you, it's going to be a big hairy spider," Lupin said.

"That's when you raise your wand - like this - yell 'funny' - and concentrate on imagining the spider's hair growing and wrapping around its legs.

If all goes well, Boggart's giant spider will be tripped to the ground. "

After speaking, Lupin turned to look at the other students.

"If Ron is successful, Boggart will turn its attention to each of us in turn.

I hope you all take a moment now to think about what you fear the most, and then imagine how you can make it hilarious..."

There was silence in the classroom, and Clark wondered...what is he most afraid of in this world?

He first thought of Dumbledore, the Dumbledore who found his secret.

But this thought soon disappeared. The White Devil King, bound by the rules, was like a beast locked in a cage. Sooner or later, he had to die in front of him, and it wasn't that scary.

Then another image quickly appeared in his mind - Voldemort who had grown stronger again.

But this idea quickly disappeared. Voldemort was keen on immortality and used Horcruxes indiscriminately, causing himself to become delirious and helpless, and it was not a big threat.

There are also old-fashioned forces in the British magic circle, whose relationship network is intertwined, profound, and the hidden strength is amazing. However, it follows the old ways, does not think about making progress, and is just a dog of the household, which is not a cause for concern.

In addition, the gods who disappeared in the past have not completely fallen. They are still hiding in a corner, secretly planning conspiracies and tricks, trying to return to the world.

They can also be called threats, but these guys are nothing but dead bones in the mound.

From this point of view, today's hero, only to make Jun and Cao Er - no, no!

Today is the hero, only my three brothers and sisters have ears!

Clark turned his eyes to Hermione and Neville beside him, and a sense of pride lingered in his chest.

At this time, many of the classmates were still keeping their eyes closed, and they didn't notice his psychological changes at all. Only Hermione and Neville felt something and smiled at him.

"Is everyone ready?" Professor Lupin asked suddenly and loudly.

Some students panicked, but many more nodded and rolled up their sleeves, looking ready to try.

"Ron, let's all step back," Professor Lupin said. "Let's leave a space for you, okay? I'll call the next classmate to come forward... Okay, everyone back off and give Ron makes room—"

The classmates all retreated to the wall, leaving Ron alone by the closet.

Gu recognize

He was pale and terrified, but he had rolled up the sleeves of his robe and raised his wand in preparation.

"I count to three, Ron," said Professor Lupin, pointing his own wand to the closet doorknob, "one-two-three-go!"

A string of sparks shot from the tip of Professor Lupin's wand, hitting the spherical doorknob.

The closed cabinet door suddenly opened, and then, several classmates let out a huge scream.

Because a huge six-foot-tall, hairy spider suddenly emerged from the narrow space of the closet.

This terrifying big guy moved its long legs, opened its sharp pincers aggressively, and stared viciously at Ron with eight compound eyes, pushing towards him.

Ron was so frightened that he backed away, wand in hand, but no sound came out of his mouth.

The big spider pressed towards him step by step, the mucus in its mouth dripped on the ground, and the sharp limbs were about to pierce Ron's body, but he remained motionless.

Just when Harry thought Ron was frightened for a while and didn't know how to resist, then—

"Slip-slip-funny!" Ron roared.

There was a sharp sound in the air, like a whip, and the spider's footsteps began to stumble, and the hair on its body began to grow, hanging down to the ground, and then tangled together, tripping it.

This situation greatly increased Ron's confidence, and immediately added, "Funny!"

This time, the big spider's legs also disappeared.

It rolled on the ground, the classmates burst into laughter, Boggart was stunned, and seemed to be confused. Seeing this, Professor Lupin hurriedly shouted: "Parvati, come on!"

Parvati stepped forward decisively.

The legless spider rolled in front of her with another crunch. The spider disappeared. Standing in front of her was a bloodstained, bandaged mummy, its gazeless face turned away. Parvati, dragging her feet, slowly walked towards her step by step, her stiff arms raised as well—

"Funny!" Parvati shouted.

A bandage under the mummy's feet came loose, and the mummy tripped and fell to the ground, her head rolled to the side.

"Seamus!" shouted Professor Lupin.

In this way, under the command of the teacher, the little wizards stepped forward one by one to face their fears.

This Boggart turned into a banshee, a viper, and a **** stump, but no matter how it changed, it was defeated by the spells and laughter of his classmates.

"It's confused!" Lupin encouraged them loudly. "We made it! Dean, come on!"

Dean rushed over.

Snapped! A huge eyeball with many tentacles turned into a severed hand, which suddenly flipped over and swished across the floor like a crab.

"Funny!" Dean yelled.

With a crisp sound, the hand was caught in the mousetrap.

"Great! Clark, it's your turn!"

Clark stepped forward calmly, but this time, the change in that Boggart was unexpected.

I saw that it first expanded into a large cloud of thick black mist, and then contracted and collapsed, sometimes turning into a vague humanoid image, and sometimes turning into some abstract horror animal, but it just couldn’t take shape.

This is the first time the little wizards around have seen such a scene. They were still very curious about what the famous first grader would be afraid of. They didn't expect this to happen.

And just when everyone was wondering, Professor Lupin applauded Clark, "As expected, he is the first in the grade. It is the first time I have seen that a third-year student can master such a powerful brain defense technique."

His compliments confused many little wizards. So, brain defense? What is that?

Fortunately, Professor Lupin quickly explained: "Brain defense is a very powerful spell, it can protect your mind from being spied on by magic, this Boggart can't get the information in Clark's mind, so naturally he can't. Knowing what it's supposed to be like scares Clark."

Some of the little wizards looked at Clark in amazement, and their eyes were full of envy for this kind of spell, but Lupin continued, "However, this kind of spell is also very difficult to master, and requires a strong control over one's own thinking, if only If it's against Boggart, I think it's better to use a spell."

After he finished speaking, ignoring the regretful eyes of his classmates, he waved his wand, "Okay Clark, step back, next one, Hermione!"

Hermione stepped forward to replace Clark, and the black fog that Boggart turned into instantly condensed into a specific image, and then, some of the surrounding little witches all covered their mouths.

Because the person who appeared in front of Hermione was Clark who had just retired.

However, the appearance of this "Clark" was extremely miserable. I saw that his original wizard robe had turned dark red due to being soaked in blood, and the whole person was lying on the ground disheveled, with a dazzling stick on his back. Dagger, I don't know if it's dead or alive.

"Hermione~"

"Clark" who was lying on the ground seemed to be aware of the person in front of him, raised his head, stretched out a blood-filled palm towards Hermione, and let out a weak moan.

If you change the place, maybe Hermione, who saw this scene, really hurried forward to check the situation of this "Clarke".

However, looking at Clark who was standing aside, the old **** was there, Hermione's cheeks were flushed, she waved the right hand of Boggart who changed into Clark fiercely, and shouted: "Funny!"

Snapped!

The "Clark" lying on the ground was whipped directly into the air like a spinning top, and performed a difficult three-and-a-half-round turn before finally slamming down in front of Harry.

This caused everyone present to laugh, and Clark couldn't even laugh or cry. Only Professor Lupin frowned, but didn't say much.

On the other side, Harry looked at Boggart who fell in front of him, raised his wand, and got ready, but—

"Look here!" Professor Lupin shouted suddenly, stepping forward.

The legless spider disappeared, and the students looked around in a panic to see where it had gone.

They saw a silver-white sphere hanging in front of Professor Lupin, who said almost lazily, "Funny!"

Snapped!

"Okay, the last one, Neville, come forward and kill it!" Professor Lupin said, when Boggart had turned into a cockroach and landed on the floor.

Neville took a deep breath and rushed forward confidently.

Snapped!

A tall and strong man with muscles like rock carvings and covered with ferocious scars charged at Neville aggressively. That was the Scorpion King Clark and the others had seen in Egypt.

"Funny!"

Neville shouted the spell, and waved the hard iron birch wand like a sword. Before Lupin could react, he knocked the Scorpion King's shoulder with a single blow.

Under such a purely violent attack, Bogut couldn't bear it either, and it exploded in place, turning into countless tiny smoke and disappearing.
