Hogwarts: I have graduated before the system came

Chapter 124 Boggart



For this defense against the dark arts exam, Douglas didn't target all classes.

This content is only available in the fourth and fifth grades, which makes some paper kings of other grades who guessed that the exams will start and prepared in advance feel a little uncomfortable.

When the Gryffindor second-year students entered the classroom, they found that the desks and chairs had been arranged to the side, and a box was placed in the middle of the classroom.

Douglas clapped his hands and said:

"In a while, everyone can hand over their vacation homework to Miss Granger. In this lesson, let's learn how to deal with Boggarts...

Put your hands down, kids, I'm sure you're already familiar with boggarts based on your track record, so we won't ask questions today.

Next, let's practice spell pronunciation together, oh, Mr. Longbottom, don't be in a hurry to get a wand.....let's practice spell pronunciation without a wand...

The boggart expulsion spell is very simple, please read it with me: funny funny! "

Neville Longbottom scratched his head in embarrassment, and put his wand away again. He got a good grade in Defense Against the Dark Arts in his final exam last term, much to the delight of his grandma.

That's why he wanted to do well in Defense Against the Dark Arts class.

Under the leadership of Douglas, the students below practiced the pronunciation of the spell over and over again.

When Douglas felt that there was no problem with their pronunciation, he praised:

"Everyone is great! But you have to remember that it's not enough just to pronounce correctly, you need strong willpower as well...  

Now all the classmates are going outside, we come one by one. "

Hermione suddenly raised her hand and asked:

"Professor, I remember it was said in the textbook that the more people there are, the easier it is to deal with the Boggart, because it doesn't know what to change into."

Douglas nodded and said with a smile:

"True, but you can't guarantee that you'll be surrounded by a group of people when you meet a Boggart, can you?"

In fact, Douglas has another reason for doing this. What Boggart reveals is what everyone thinks is the most fearful thing in their hearts.

Douglas believes that this is everyone's privacy, and it is a kind of behavior that does not respect people no matter whether Bogut is defeated or not.

After everyone was out, Douglas started letting in the people whose names were called.

The first is Neville.

"Take it easy Mr Longbottom!

Remember your homework on boggarts? "

Neville looked away from the trembling box in the middle of the classroom, blushing and said:

"Sorry Professor, I...I don't remember!"

Douglas smiled and patted him on the shoulder and said:

"There is no need to be embarrassed. After all, no one will deliberately remember what they have written. For example, the follow-up to the novel I wrote at the beginning of school. I don't remember the details.

I remember you said at the time that your uncle met a boggart that turned into your grandma, and he ended up getting the boggart-turned-grandma drunk, right? "

Neville nodded quickly:

"Yes, yes! I remembered!"

Douglas smiled and said, "Are you still nervous?"

Neville shook his head, trying to force a smile:

"Professor, I'm not nervous.

I remember the textbook saying that what boggarts fear most is laughter..."

Douglas is tempted to say that you can kill a Boggart with that smile.

"Very well, then please take out your wand, and when you are ready, we will begin!"

Neville drew out his wand, facing the box, Douglas felt that his posture was more like that of a swordsman.

He first walked to the corner of the classroom, then snapped his fingers, and the box lid opened with a bang.

At the same time, he reminded: "Don't forget, the form you think is the funniest!"

Suddenly, the form of Professor Snape appeared in the box.

Douglas was a little surprised. He thought it might be something else. Although this scene appeared in the original book, it was when these children were in the third grade. He really didn't expect that Neville would be so afraid of Sneaker in the second grade. Common.

Not only were Neville's hands trembling badly, but his mouth was trembling too.

If it wasn't for the last semester, Neville's self-confidence was almost cultivated in the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom, and he felt that this was his home field. Maybe the moment Snape came out, he would have surrendered.

I saw Professor Snape conjured by Boggart walking towards Neville step by step.

Douglas did not remind them that they had already learned what they needed to learn, and what they needed now was the courage to face fear.

Seeing the Boggart turned into Snape, he walked up to Neville and looked at him with contempt.

Douglas looked at Neville's trembling legs, shook his head helplessly, and was about to announce that he had failed this challenge.

Suddenly Neville was heard shouting, "Funny funny!"

The Boggart-turned-Snape's face turned red suddenly, especially the aquiline nose suddenly turned into a big red nose, which looked very funny.

And the whole body began to shake, his eyes were blurred, he muttered something in his mouth, and then he plopped, tripped over the robe on his body, and failed to stand up three times.

Especially after hearing Neville's unscrupulous laughter, he seemed a little flustered, drunkenly crawling towards the box.

Seeing Neville's happy look, Douglas also laughed.

He was very glad to let the students come in one by one. If everyone saw that the Boggart turned into Snape in this form, and then spread the word, Neville's Potions class would be even more difficult in the future.

Finally, after Boggart climbed into the box, Douglas snapped his fingers, and the lid slammed shut.

At this time, Neville remembered that there was another professor in the classroom, and his face was pale.

"Teach...professor!"

Douglas looked at him, smiled and said:

"Don't be afraid, I'm not going to complain to Professor Snape.

Of course, I personally suggest that you don't say it yourself, after all, it's Professor Snape! "

Neville's face returned to normal, and he nodded quickly.

After hearing Douglas say: "Congratulations to Mr. Longbottom for the challenge!"

Neville ran out of the classroom happily, and closed the classroom door behind him.

This made Douglas, who was following behind to call the next student, rolled his eyes.

Then he opened the door and called the next student to come in.

"Miss Patil!"

Parvati Patil is Hermione's roommate. When the box containing the Boggarts was opened, bloody mummies wrapped in bandages quickly drilled out one after another. Its gazeless face turned to Parvati , dragged his feet, walked slowly towards her step by step, and raised his stiff arms...

Although Parvati's performance was much better than Neville's, at least her mouth didn't tremble.

But she apparently forgot at this moment that the mummy on the opposite side was turned into a Boggart.

After hastily casting a heavy obstacle spell to hit the mummy, the mummy was knocked flying a few meters, and then quickly flew towards Parvati. Parvati skillfully cast a snake speed skating spell on herself, Start running circles in the classroom.....

The corner of Douglas's mouth twitched, this is my lesson on dealing with Boggarts.

Five minutes later, Boggart's mummy finally cornered Parvati in the corner of the classroom.

Douglas looked at Parvati's begging eyes and waved his wand: "Funny funny!"

The mummy's bandages suddenly turned into spider legs, and Douglas walked back into the box under the control of Douglas.

Seeing the panicked look of the mummy, Parvati finally let out a giggle.

Douglas said regretfully:

"I regret to inform you, Miss Patil.

You failed this challenge, obviously you forgot it was a Boggart the moment you saw the mummy! "

Parvati Patil lowered her head, a little aggrieved, but the moment she saw the mummy, she did forget that it was a Boggart.
