Magical Studies at Hogwarts

Professor Lupine was wearing a shabby robe, carrying a broken box, and had greasy hair, which was only slightly better than Snape's.

"Good afternoon, I believe you have heard that today is a practical class."

He waved to everyone to follow him and arrived at a long-abandoned classroom on the fifth floor.Opening the door, it was found to be very clean and tidy inside.

It was very empty, with only a shaking wardrobe on the floor.

"So everyone knows what we are going to face today..."

"Boggart!"

A Hufflepuff student replied.

"That's right, Boggart." Professor Lupine nodded, "This is a magical creature that can transform. It will turn into whatever it thinks scares you the most."

"However, the Boggart hiding in the darkness has no form, and we cannot observe its true appearance."

"But as long as you let it out, it will become the thing you fear most..."

"Then, hurt you."

Professor Lupine's tone became serious.

"A Boggart can be fragile or ferocious, it all depends on what you fear most."

"The most terrifying Boggart attack ever recorded was 200 years ago, when a wizard encountered a Boggart while traveling. As a result, it turned into a giant dragon, which was so huge that it was several kilometers away. You can see it from outside.”

"Unfortunately, a group of Muggles were holding a gathering there, and the giant dragon was exposed to the eyes of Muggles."

"For this reason, the Ministry of Magic had to deploy a large number of manpower to erase the memories of these Muggles."

"Of course, this is an extremely rare case after all. It only takes a simple funny spell to deal with Boggart."

"The real difficulty is whether you can use the funny spell."

After knocking on the closet, the Boggart inside made more noise.

"Alright gentlemen and ladies, take out your wands and remember the incantation of the Funny Charm 'Funny'." Professor Lupine said, "Line up in a line and face the boggarts one by one."

“Don’t be afraid, steel your will and turn it from what you fear the most into something funny.”

Everyone lined up obediently. The first one was Stewart, who had finally managed to get to the front, and Ike was in the middle.

"Mr. Ackley, right? It seems that I remember correctly." Professor Lupine patted Stewart on the shoulder, "Can you tell me now, what do you think you are most afraid of?"

"Cockroach, Professor."

"Cockroach?" Professor Lupine said, "So, what should this cockroach do to make you think it's ridiculous?"

"If it gets beaten around with a broom, I'll be very happy."

"Good job, remember this." Professor Lupine asked Stuart to stand in front of the wardrobe, while he stood aside, holding the wand in his hand.

"And don't forget the Funny Charm!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a string of sparks flashed, and a giant cockroach about one meter in size crawled out of the closet, causing the group of little witches behind to let out ear-piercing screams.

The giant cockroach shook its tentacles and walked towards Stewart step by step.Stewart's hands were shaking a little, he swallowed, pointed his wand at the cockroach and shouted: "Funny!"

The white light on the tip of the staff flashed past, and the cockroach's body shook suddenly, as if it had been hit by something, and rolled quickly on the spot.

It rolled faster and faster, and also rolled smaller and smaller. In the end, it was only the size of a palm, and it fell to the ground on all fours, with three yellow birds spinning around on top of its head.

Ike's head was full of black lines from behind. Isn't this the scene in Tom and Jerry that sometimes appears after Tom hits the wall?

Some wizards from Muggle families were stunned for a moment, then they remembered and burst out laughing.The cockroach stopped immediately, and the bird on its head stopped turning.

"It's confused!" Professor Lupine said with a smile, "Next, up!"

Stewart quickly stepped aside, and Michael took a step forward.The cockroach immediately turned over and rushed towards him. In just a blink of an eye, it turned into a zombie covered in carrion and blood.

"Funny!"

Another white light flashed, and there was a road cone on the zombie's head, and its clothes turned into a pink princess dress. It seemed that its feet were shaken, and it fell straight to the ground face down.

"Next!"

For a few minutes, everyone faced the Boggart one after another and turned it into one ridiculous thing after another.

Ike is an eye-opener, including a centaur whose limbs are caught in mouse traps, a female ghost whose head is covered by a plastic bag, and a skeleton whose bones all turn into pink, even sprinkled with colorful sequins. .

Slowly, the people in front of Ike succeeded, and it was finally his turn.

The previous person had just turned the Boggart into a lion chasing his tail. The moment Ike stepped forward, the Boggart suddenly stopped and turned into a black mist. The ground spins wildly.

"Click, click"

There was a strange noise in the black mist, and it spun faster, but it still didn't take a concrete form.

Everyone looked at the black mist strangely, and Professor Luping was also confused.Ike was a little confused at first, but then he suddenly realized it, and immediately used Occlumency to imagine it in his mind.

"Snapped!"

With a soft sound, an ordinary brown paper bag fell to the ground.The bag was open and empty inside.

"Funny!"

Ike waved his magic wand, and the paper bag immediately turned pink, with a pattern of a unicorn with a rainbow on it.

"Next!" Professor Luping glanced at Ike, shook his head slightly, and called the students behind him.

As soon as he stood aside, Stewart and others surrounded him.

"That's the bag you put the cockroaches in! It must be!" Stewart put one hand around Ike's neck, and with the other hand, Terry and others began to ravage his hair, "Why are you so scared? A pile of cockroaches!”

Ike dodged and almost broke free, but Terry and Michael held him up one by one, allowing Stuart and Anthony to do whatever they wanted, and had to beg for mercy again and again.

After playing around for a while, a few people stopped, and then watched others transform Boggart into various funny things.

Ike smiled, but he kept thinking in his heart.He knew very well that the swirling black mist just now was a manifestation of the Boggart's inability to determine what he was afraid of. It was spinning for a long time to explore what Ike was most afraid of.But due to force majeure, Boggart had no way of knowing.

Squinting his eyes slightly, Ike's attention fell on a line of text on the waste notepad system:
