All things are three at Hogwarts

Ravenclaws have long wanted to take Defense Against the Dark Arts lessons.

Gryffindor's young wizards are the first to take Defense Against the Dark Arts lessons this term.

After they finished, they all boasted about their experiences in dealing with Boggarts, which made the little wizards in Ravenclaw both curious and expectant.

"Okay," Professor Lupine said when he saw that everyone was ready, "come with me."

The students were confused and interested. They stood up one after another and followed Professor Luping out of the classroom.

He led them through the empty corridors and around a corner, where they saw Peeves, the most mischievous ghost, coming towards them.

Everyone thought that Peeves was going to cause trouble, but unexpectedly, he turned around and walked away. It could be said that he was running away.

The Ravenclaws looked at the ragged Professor Lupine with admiration. They all heard about Professor Lupine's treatment of Peeves.

In fact, Peeves saw Alan who had just punished him last night!

The painful impression of being stuck in the nose with an iron spear, tightly bound, and unable to escape was too profound.

Therefore, as soon as Peeves spotted Alan in the crowd, he turned and ran away.

Professor Lupine led the little wizards through the second corridor and stopped outside the door of the staff lounge.

"Come in," said Professor Lupin, opening the door and stepping back.

The staff room was a long room with wood paneling on the walls and filled with old, mismatched chairs.

There was no teacher in the room, and the students filed into the room.

"Thank you very much to the professors. They are very supportive of the Defense Against the Dark Arts class and specially vacated this lounge for me." Professor Lupine closed the door.

"Okay." Professor Lupine said, motioning for the students to walk towards the other end of the room.

There was just an old wardrobe where teachers kept replacement robes.

Professor Lupine walked over and stood next to the wardrobe. The wardrobe suddenly shook and banged against the wall.

"Don't worry," Professor Lupine said calmly when he saw several classmates jumping back in shock, "there's a Boggart inside."

Most students seemed to think this was exactly what they needed to worry about.

With the vigorous publicity of Gryffindor's little wizards, of course everyone knew that there was a Boggart inside, but hearing those little lions describe it so thrillingly, the Ravenclaws would inevitably be nervous.

"Oh, Professor Traolini said that something bad might happen to me this week!" Padma Patil gave Professor Lupin a horrified look.

Marietta Ikemo stared at the rattling cabinet door handle with trepidation.

"Boggarts like dark and closed spaces," Professor Lupine said, "Wardrobes, the space under the bed, the cupboard under the sink. Once I even met one living in a grandfather clock."

"Now, the first question we have to ask ourselves is: What is a Boggart?" Professor Lupine looked around the room at the little wizard.

The Ravenclaws all looked at Allen.

Professor Lupine followed their gazes and said, "Alan, it seems that you are the one to answer this question, as everyone expects!"

"The Boggart is a magical creature in the magical world. It is a shape-changing creature that can see through your heart and become the thing you fear most." Allen said.

After a pause, he added: "The purpose of the Boggart to scare people seems to be just to feed on human fear, rather than use its ability to defend itself. Because of this, it is considered a black magic biology."

"I can't say it more clearly myself, five points for Ravenclaw," Professor Lupine said.

Smiles appeared on the faces of the little wizards in Ravenclaw, and they felt that they were starting to like the poorest professor in Hogwarts a little bit.

"So, the Boggart in this dark cabinet doesn't have a specific shape yet, and it doesn't know what the people outside the cabinet door are afraid of. No one knows what the Boggart looks like when it's alone, but as long as I put it Release it and it immediately becomes what each of us fears the most.”

Professor Lupine reminded the little wizards, and the Ravenclaws listened carefully. No one wanted to embarrass themselves in front of their classmates.

"That is to say," Professor Lupine continued, Padma was so frightened that she muttered something incoherently, and he pretended not to hear it, "we have a great advantage over the Boggart. Have you discovered this advantage?" "

The Ravenclaws looked at Allen again.

Professor Lupine shook his head and said: "No, no, no, you can't always count on Allen to give you the answer. You need to think for yourself. Think about it, you are smart Ravenclaws!"

Michael Corner raised his hand hesitantly.

Professor Lupin pointed his finger at him and looked at him encouragingly.

"I think it's because there are so many of us that it doesn't know what shape it should take?" Michael expressed his thoughts.

"Exactly correct," Professor Lupine said, but did not give Michael any points.

"When dealing with a boggart, it's best to go in a group. This confuses it: does it turn into a headless skeleton, or does it turn into a flesh-eating slug? I saw a boggart once Te made the mistake of trying to scare two people at the same time, and ended up turning himself into half a slug, which is not scary at all."

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

"Let's practice the spell without the wands for now. Say it after me... funny!"

"Funny!" the whole class said together.

"Very good," said Professor Lupin. "Very good. But this is the easy part. You know, this spell alone isn't enough. Who wants to be the first to try it?"

Everyone, look at me and I look at you, no one wants to come forward.

Seeing this, Allen wanted to be the first to go up and set an example for everyone.

But Professor Lupine shook his head and said: "Alan, I have no doubt that you can defeat the Boggart, but I think it would be more appropriate for you to be the one who finally solves it."

"Except Allen, no one is willing to be the first to try?" Professor Luping seemed a little disappointed.

"Okay, I want you all to take a moment now to think about what you're most afraid of, and then imagine how you could make it ridiculous..."

There was silence in the classroom.

Allen was also thinking...What is he most afraid of in this world?

Perhaps the secret of his resurrection from the dead was exposed!

So what image will the Boggart create?

Could it be his past appearance?

Or rather, what he looked like when he was in a car accident?

Alan couldn't imagine it!
