Chapter 376 The Most Feared Thing
"Everyone, come here!" Lu Ping quickly adjusted his mood and led a group of young wizards to an old wardrobe.
Just as everyone was approaching, the closet suddenly started shaking violently, and the door of the closet made a "bang bang" sound as if something was about to come out from inside.
Neville and the others were immediately startled. They took a few steps back in fear and looked at the cabinet in confusion.
Lupine smiled when he saw this scene, reached out and patted the old wardrobe, and said. "Don't worry, that's what you have to deal with in this class, a Boggart!"
"Boggarts like dark and closed spaces! They usually hide in old wardrobes, gaps under the bed, or cupboards under the sink. Once I even encountered one living in a grandfather clock." Lupin The professor explained it to the young wizards, and then continued.
"This Boggart was just moved in yesterday afternoon. I asked the principal to let the professors keep it for us to use in class!"
"So does anyone know what a Boggart is?" Lupine looked around at everyone and asked.
Hermione stood on tiptoes and raised her hands high. When Lupine was about to ask her to answer the question, a voice rang out from the crowd.
"Professor! The Boggart is a magical creature that can shape-shift! It can see into your heart and turn into the thing you fear most."
"If you want to deal with them, the best way to deal with them is to laugh! But few people can laugh when facing their fears, so this usually requires a spell to assist - Funny! This spell can make the Borg Change into what you think is the funniest look!"
"It's also worth mentioning that the Boggart is not aggressive and only aims to scare people, so if you have excellent psychological quality, you can completely ignore its existence and if there are many people around, you can make the Boggart fall into chaos and make it I don’t know what it should become.”
Ivan kept talking about the characteristics of Boggart, and finally looked at Lupin and spoke. "Am I right, Professor? I guess there's nothing more to add?"
"Ah! That's very good of you! Ten points from Gryffindor!" Lupine was stunned for a while, looking very strange.
Ivan has finished talking about everything he wants to talk about in this class, so what should he talk about later?
"But I need to remind you, Hals! Please remember to raise your hand first when you answer a question next time." Lu Ping said somewhat helplessly.
"I don't think you can stop a student's desire to answer questions!" Ivan looked at Luping seriously, without giving in at all.
Lu Ping was speechless. Just when he was about to say something, he heard Ivan suddenly apologize.
"I'm sorry, Professor! You should know that I accidentally deducted all the Gryffindor house points yesterday, so I want to work harder and earn back all the lost house points as soon as possible."
After Ivan finished speaking, Lu Ping held back the words that came to his mouth, and looked at Ivan with a bit more understanding in his eyes. It turns out that this is the case, no wonder
Harry and the others behind him rolled their eyes. No matter whether Ivan had points deducted before going to class, he could always find a way to answer questions immediately, and made teachers in various subjects unable to do anything to him.
"Ahem, in that case, you should be the first to deal with the Boggart and set an example for everyone! If you can get off to a good start, I will consider giving you an extra ten points!" Lu Pingqing said. Clearing his throat, he said to Ivan.
Ivan nodded happily. He did not expect that his random nonsense would yield unexpected gains. It seemed that he could increase his academic performance points in this class.
With this thought in mind, Ivan walked to the old wardrobe and seemed to notice someone outside the door, causing the old wardrobe to shake even more violently.
The little wizards who were watching looked at this scene with anticipation. Since Ivan has been so popular in school in the past few years, it seems that there is nothing he can't do, so many little wizards want to see what Ivan fears most. What is the thing.
It was hard for Hermione to imagine that there would be something in this world that Ivan was afraid of.
"You have already said the spell to deal with Boggarts, but I want to remind you that it is ridiculous!"
Lupine waved his wand to show Ivan the gestures for casting spells, and then waved his hand to ask everyone to move away. He was also very interested in what the Boggart was about to transform.
At this time, Ivan had already started Occlumency and wanted to see if Occlumency could affect Boggart's judgment!
More importantly, Ivan suddenly remembered that what he feared was not easy to expose.
What if the Boggart turned into Asia lying in a pool of blood in front of everyone, Dumbledore might guess something.
Ivan's originally calm heart seemed to be a little messy, but on the surface he still looked calm and calm.
"Then, let's start now!" Lupine didn't give Ivan too much time to think. The wand he held in his right hand shot a string of sparks directly towards the door handle of the old wardrobe.
The closet door suddenly opened, and a black, constantly twisting shape-shifter rushed out, scaring everyone. Several little witches even screamed in fear.
"Don't panic! Let's move back a little further. The Boggart just hasn't figured out what to do yet. It seems that it is a little confused and can't find what Hals is afraid of!" Lupine comforted everyone loudly, There was a puzzled expression on his face. This was the first time he had seen such a situation.
Ivan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Occlumency was more effective than he thought!
However, Ivan soon discovered that as the Boggart got closer and closer to him, its shape was also changing, very slowly, as if it was disturbed by something.
The body shape gradually changed from a weird sphere to a humanoid appearance. The Boggart seemed to be imitating and became more and more similar to Ivan. But within a moment, another Ivan Hals appeared in front of everyone. in front of.
Everyone present looked stunned. They didn't quite understand why the person Ivan was most afraid of was himself.
The little blond wizard that the Boggart turned into stood opposite Ivan, with an apologetic look on his face.
"Sorry, actually I" it opened its mouth and spoke, its body was a little unstable, and it was about to change again.
However, Ivan, who guessed what it was going to say next, took action first without giving Boggart a chance to continue speaking or transforming.
"Funny!"
