Chapter 352 The fickle Boggart
"Funny!"
Another Gryffindor took action.
Before the boggart even had time to transform, the chocolate balls floated up into piles of gorgeous soap bubbles.
"Give it some rest!"
Professor Nina's voice sounded, and Ravenclaw, who was about to take action next, took two steps back.
To be precise, everyone took two steps back, preparing to give it some rest time as the professor said.
The poor Boggart finally had a chance to breathe.
He pounces on the next person, Andrew's roommate, Kevin, and turns into a tearing dog.
"Oh, hell."
Andrew heard Kevin curse, "Funny!"
The dog's paws were swollen, and there were two front paws. It kept raising them, and then howled and screamed, and jumped to the next person.
'Miss Granger's not a big problem...'
Andrew held the wand with a casual expression.
But he soon realized his mistake.
Because he saw himself.
That's right - the Boggart turned into him, lazily holding the wand and saying in a relaxed tone, "That's it, this class is also very easy, and I'm the first again..."
? ? ?
His eyes widened.
No - when did I have the courage to pretend like this!
I almost failed the class, you know?
The whole grade knows that I am partial to academic subjects and this class is very easy. How on earth could you come up with such delusions!
Miss Granger was also stunned. She raised her wand and was about to cast a spell, but she couldn't do it. The funny method of casting a spell was to make horrible things harmless, but she really couldn't figure out how to make them harmless. The situation before my eyes.
Andrew frowned, took two steps forward, and pointed the wand at 'himself'.
This job is really not suitable for others to do, "funny!"
He chanted the spell loudly, then watched himself put on his pajamas and looked at the time. He had an expression on his face that he didn't want to wake up. It was obvious that he got along well with the bed and had no intention of separation.
Low laughter erupted from the surrounding students, and at the same time, the Boggart also transformed into piles of melted ice cream.
"Funny!"
He waved his hand, and the ice cream froze together instantly - the brain's defense was there, and it could only read the shallowest thoughts.
'It's outrageous enough for me to come out on my own, but if I get Dumbledore out again, this lesson really won't be necessary. ’
He stepped back and handed the boggart to the next person.
…
Soon, everyone who stood up took a turn, and Professor Nina roughly stuffed it into the box.
"Let it recover its strength, it will be useful later."
Professor Nina's tone was serious, "Students who make mistakes will lose ten points each. Taking unprepared risks is irresponsible for their own lives."
"This will also be the case in the future. Students who think they are ready can take the challenge, but if you are not fully prepared, not only will you not be rewarded for taking risks, you will also be punished."
She began to write quickly on the blackboard, introducing Boggart's character and coping methods while writing.
"Boggarts love dark, enclosed spaces... They are shape-shifting things that manifest themselves in the ways you fear most."
……
This time it's a complete explanation - personality, common locations, coping methods, weaknesses.
"That's probably it - do you plan to try anything next?"
She looked around the students and randomly selected three students who raised their hands, and then picked out three more students who did not raise their hands.
“It’s okay if you still can’t remember it after class, let’s test it too!”
She said this and opened the box again.
This time all the students who raised their hands passed, but one of the unlucky ones who was picked up failed.
"Oh, it really is."
Professor Nina shook her head, "Sorry, five points will be deducted for each of you."
She imprisoned the boggart again, and then continued to explain the essentials of dealing with it.
Then, this time no hand was raised.
"I remember the people who didn't raise their hands last time."
She said happily, "Let's continue the spot check this time." 'It's over. ’
Andrew looked at the person being carried out and thought of a terrible thing.
If he can appear, then the person summoned by Neville in front of him will not be good.
Everyone knows that Professor Snape almost hates Gryffindor students, and Neville is one of the most hated students in this grade.
Professor Snape appeared in this course, and then was pranked again - Professor Nina's wish may be blocked.
He hurried forward, rushed over before it happened, and emphasized in a low voice.
"That is to say, if this child named Neville is pregnant, my request to open Professor Lockhart's items may be opposed by a dean?"
Professor Nina asked quietly.
"Yes," Andrew nodded, "So, let's stop for a moment."
"Does it require all members?"
"No, but it will be a lot of trouble."
Andrew nodded.
"Then it doesn't matter." Professor Nina looked unconcerned, "Go on, everything is under control."
Now that the matter has come to this, what else can Andrew say?
He watched silently as the students came forward to take the test.
There were no surprises - there were two explanations and spot checks, and the students cooperated very well.
But Neville was on.
Nothing unexpected happened—but that was the biggest surprise.
Just as Andrew thought, Professor Snape appeared in the classroom and attracted everyone's attention.
"Wow, that's exactly what you said, Andrew."
Professor Nina nodded.
"Funny!"
It was visible to the naked eye that Neville used all his strength to cast the spell - although this did not help the strength of the spell.
A very, very fancy lady's hat appeared on Professor Snape's head, which was still very old-fashioned.
Laughter started from Gryffindor and then spread to the entire class.
The poor boggart was at a loss for words.
But because Neville's memory is too deep, it still maintains a very perfect deformation.
"Next!"
Professor Nina shouted.
The last one is Ravenclaw, Andrew's roommate, and a usually taciturn magic history enthusiast, Hughes.
He mustered up the courage to step forward.
Then Andrew burst out laughing.
But the class suddenly fell silent.
Because another Professor Nina appeared in class.
"Funny!"
Hughes chanted the incantation loudly, but it had no effect - obviously, he was not ready.
"What a shame, ten points from Ravenclaw."
‘Professor Nina’ said scary words with a smile.
"Funny!"
The professor began to cast spells from a distance - her whole body became almost as if she had been fished out of the mud.
"A little risk-taking failure, the power of nature is sometimes no worse than magic."
She looked at her funny self happily.
"As you can see," Professor Nina laughed, packing herself up, "Adventures are like life, there are always emergencies that you can't think of."
She closed the box, looked at the students, and spoke in a relaxed tone.
"Another five points deducted from Ravenclaw. Failure to grasp it twice is a serious mistake - dismissed!"
