Hogwarts: The Cat Wizard of the Moving Castle

Mu En looked at the girl: "This is black magic. It may not be very powerful, but it must be cruel."

With that said, he stood up: "Slytherin adds three points for Potter's answer."

"Professor, black magic can really induce people to become worse? Can it change a person's character?" Someone suddenly asked.

Mu En looked at the person. He was a fifth-grade child. It was very bold to ask such a question here.

"Yes." Mu En nodded: "Black magic will induce people to walk towards the abyss.

So, children, don’t be too curious about black magic.

And I think Potter's answer just now has also unveiled a layer of mystery of black magic for you.

It's not that mysterious, it's not that powerful, but..."

"It must be cruel/bloody/disgusting!" In the audience, half of the young wizards were making excellent compliments, including the Weasley twins. Their voices were the loudest and brought a good rhythm.

The atmosphere in the entire classroom gradually became lively, and the children all looked at Mu En with burning eyes.

"Very good, then the next step is defense!" Mu En clapped his hands and said loudly: "I don't know whether this is good news or bad news for some people.

If anyone thinks this is bad news, I must apologize in advance.

I am an out-and-out practical wizard, and unfortunately, Defense Against the Dark Arts is the only subject in the wizard exam where the practical score accounts for 60%. "

In the wizard assessment, the three major subjects of spells, potions and transfiguration, the proportion of theory and practice is 50-50.

And subjects like astronomy, arithmetic, herbalism, history, etc. are more theoretical than practical.

Only in Defense Against the Dark Arts, practice is worth more than theory!

practice? !

This is definitely good news. How pitiful it is that they haven't had a so-called practical class for a long time.

Mu En pressed down his palm again, the ring on his fingertips shone undetectably, and the sound of the entire classroom was forcibly suppressed by him again.

"I need a warrior to be the first!"

"I!"

"I come!!"

"Professor, how many points will I get? Look at me, look at me!"

"No need to raise your hands, students in the fourth and fifth years, there is no way I can choose you." Mu En smiled.

Then he was a little surprised to find that the number of Slytherin students raising their hands was exactly the same as that of Gryffindor.

After carefully observing the expressions of the Slytherin students, he made a rough guess about their mentality.

They seem to want to express:

Courage is only a part of us Slytherins that is not worth mentioning, but we are still more courageous than Gryffindor, who is known for courage! !

Then he took a quick look, and after thinking about Neville for a long time, he changed his gaze.

"Mr. Crabbe, please come up."

Crabbe, who was no longer so fat, stood up and said to everyone around him confidently: "Look at me!"

With that said, he walked to the podium.

"Very good, very impressive!!"

Mu En encouraged him and then pointed to a box on the side. It was an old wall-mounted wooden cabinet. It looked like it had been damaged by rain and wind, as if it had been dug out of a trash can.

"There is a very scary thing inside! Go and open the cabinet." Mu En said.

"Something scary?" Crabbe swallowed, suddenly feeling a little scared.

"Professor, can you tell me what's inside?" he said.

"I don't know either!" Mu En shook his head.

? ?

I didn’t know you said it was scary?

Oh, I get it!

Just like last year's final test, it's a special magic used to deceive people, right?

Thinking about it, Crabbe smiled disdainfully, strode forward, and opened the cabinet with a bang.

The next moment, a fat and bloated insect, like a giant python, rushed out, its densely packed feet grabbing the air in mid-air.

"Ahhhh!!"

Suddenly, the whole classroom was in chaos.

Snapped--

Mu En snapped his fingers, and the Boggart was instantly slammed back into the cabinet with a huge force.

"Very good, let us thank Mr. Crabbe." Moon pulled him up from the ground. Crabbe was now frightened, confused and pale.

"Would you like some chocolate?" Mu En opened her hands in front of him.

Crabbe perked up. Oh, there's chocolate!

He picked it up directly and swallowed it whole. Only then did I feel much better.

"Remember what I said? Black magic is fueled by malice. In other words, black magic doesn't want you to be well, it wants you to be in pain and suffering.

However, chocolate can make people feel happy. This is a little trick to quickly get rid of the influence of black magic!

In this course, it will appear frequently, believe me. "

Mu En explained.

"Can someone tell me what this is in the cupboard?"

Hermione raised her hand high again, and this time, Moon didn't refuse.

"It's a Boggart, a dark magical creature that likes dark, enclosed spaces."

Boggart? Is that the name of that giant millipede? All the little wizards looked puzzled.

Suddenly, the senior classmates behind suddenly realized,

"I just said, how could that cabinet hold such a big millipede?"

"No wonder the professor said there was something scary inside, but he didn't know what it was."

…

"It's a shape-shifting thing, it has no specific image. But it can take on whatever image it thinks will scare us the most."

"Very beautiful, three points for Gryffindor." Moon nodded, but Hermione was confused: "But isn't this the third grade content?"

"Oh, yes, that's a good answer." Mu En nodded, then looked into the cabinet: "I always believe that the sooner children understand Boggarts, the better.

As you just said, it can see through our deepest fears.

And what children fear most in their hearts must be easier to solve. Because it's pure enough. "

"Um...I don't understand." Ron finally said boldly. A few of the senior children in the back row were thoughtful.

"It's just that this thing is too simple. You don't need to wait until the third grade." Mu En said simply.

After saying this, many children understood it immediately and became confident.

Then he began to guide Crabbe and teach him the anti-Boggart spell.

Very simple mantra "funny funny".

A few minutes later, as Crabbe turned the huge millipede into a soft rubber strip, the crowd suddenly cheered, as if the ceiling would fall down.

Then the children raised their hands enthusiastically, wanting to come and meet this guy for a while.

Mu En began to arrange for them to try one after another, and time passed quickly.

Boggart is like a blind box with double the enjoyment.

One is the most terrifying creature.

One is the cheerful look after the change.

No matter which one it is, it always feels very mysterious and interesting.

Until Harry stood in front of the cabinet, and after getting ready, he opened the cabinet.

The classmates watched nervously, trying to see what monster Harry was most afraid of.

However, the cabinet was not like before. Halfway through opening it, it was knocked open by the monster conjured by the Boggart.

Tick-tock——

Scarlet blood flowed from the cracks in the cabinet door.

With the sound of hinges creaking, the cabinet door slowly opened completely.

A dead cat lay quietly in the closet.
