Chinese students at Hogwarts.

Because Snape's behavior aroused strong indignation among the young wizards, when Professor Lupine finally returned, the young wizards immediately complained in all directions.

"It's not fair. He's just here to take over the class. Why should he leave homework for us?"

"We don't know what a werewolf is—"

"—Two rolls of parchment!"

"He even deducted points from us casually!"

Ron's voice was the saddest. He raised his hands to show the scars left intentionally:

"I dealt with horned toads and hedgehog balls for three whole nights! Snape even threatened me to ask me to get spider venom next time!"

Werewolf? Professor Lupine shook his head slightly, Snape.

He did look like he had been sick. His old robe was even more baggy on his body, and there were thick dark circles under his eyes, making him look sickly.

"Didn't you tell Professor Snape that we haven't learned that yet?" Lupine asked, frowning slightly.

Everyone started talking again.

"Said, but he said we are too behind -"

"—He doesn't listen—"

"He asked us what a werewolf was. Granger knew, but he deducted points from Granger!"

"—Two rolls of parchment! Two whole pages!"

Everyone was filled with indignation and wished that Professor Lupine would immediately pull out his wand and challenge Snape for a duel.

But Zhang Xiao knew that Lu Ping would never take the initiative to cause trouble for Snape, but Snape would not deliberately cause trouble for Lu Ping.

Among the four Marauders, Snape was probably the least hostile to Lupin.

The two sides would be hostile to each other, but that was it. If it were James and Sirius, Snape would never know how to brew the potion, even if Dumbledore ordered him to.

So it was normal for Professor Lupine to just smile slightly at this time.

"Don't worry, I'll tell you Professor Snape - you don't have to write that paper."

Homework that doesn’t require two sheets of parchment?

The little wizards immediately became happy and closed their mouths with satisfaction.

Only Hermione looked disappointed: "Oh no! I've already finished writing."

Harry turned his head in a low voice and said to Zhang Xiao and Malfoy: "She spent more than four hours last night! She looked up information that is almost half as tall as me!"

Malfoy looked at Hermione in confusion, wondering why someone would like to do homework.

"Okay, let's forget about the last lesson, now -" Professor Lupine said, beckoning the whole class to stand up. With a wave of his wand, the tables and chairs immediately dispersed to both sides of the classroom.

The little wizards stood happily in the extra space in the classroom.

Lupine waved his wand again, and a shabby wardrobe standing against the wall suddenly flew over and landed gently at the other end of the classroom.

He walked to the closet and stood still. The closet suddenly shook and hit the ground with a bang.

"Don't worry." Professor Lupine said calmly, because at this time several students jumped back in fright.

“There’s a Boggart in there.

In fact, in the first class, I wanted to give you Boggart lessons, but I didn't expect that your foundation would be so bad, so I had to postpone my plan unfortunately.

Fortunately, everyone studied very seriously and worked very hard——"

Most people felt that there was indeed need to worry. Neville glanced at Professor Lupin with curiosity in his eyes, and Seamus Finnigan peeked at the now shaking cupboard door handle in fear.

"Boggarts like dark, enclosed spaces," Professor Lupine said: "Wardrobes, the space under the bed, the cupboard under the sink - once I came across an old clock hidden in my ancestors' house.

This one was moved in yesterday afternoon. I asked the principal for permission. With Principal Dumbledore's approval, we can now use it for practice.

"So, the first question we have to ask ourselves is, what is a boggart?"

Hermione raised her hand faster than the afterimage, causing the wind and waves to blow Ron's hair.

"Professor, it is a deformable thing," the little witch said confidently: "It can take on any image it thinks will scare us the most."

"I couldn't say it better myself," Professor Lupin nodded approvingly, and Hermione pursed her lips tightly to prevent herself from smiling.

"So, the Boggart in the closet has not yet taken on any form.

It doesn't know what can scare people outside the door.

No one knows what a boggart looks like when alone, but when I release it, it will immediately become what each of us fears the most.

"This means" Professor Lu Hu pretended to be ignorant and deliberately ignored the fearful face of the little wizard: "Before we start, we have a huge advantage over Boggarts!"

He suddenly looked at Harry:

"Have you found that advantage, Harry?"

Hermione raised her hands again with a whoosh and jumped up and down on tiptoes.

Her arms were like javelins, pointing straight to the sky.

It would have been embarrassing not to be able to answer the question under the circumstances, but Harry was determined not to let Lupine down.

He racked his brains and answered slowly: "Oh - because there are so many of us, it doesn't know what it should look like, is that right?"

"Excellent, five points from Gryffindor!" Professor Lupine clapped his hands gently.

“When dealing with boggarts, the best way is to have more people.

In this way, it will be at a loss and not know what it should become.

A headless corpse? Or a carnivorous slug?

I once saw a boggart make the mistake of trying to scare two people at the same time, so he turned himself into a half-slug.

To be honest, it's not scary at all. Instead it made us laugh. "

Professor Lupine then introduced the key points and spells for dealing with Boggarts.

The spell is [Funny], but this spell cannot be recited to destroy the Boggart.

This spell is more like a forced transformation spell for the Boggart, forcing the Boggart to become what you want it to be.

Without the fear that strikes you deep inside, the danger posed by the boggart disappears.

After introducing the Boggart, Professor Lupine held the end of the wand with both hands and said solemnly:

“You know, saying this mantra is not enough.

Who comes first?”

The little wizards shook their heads nervously.

He pointed suddenly: "Okay, it's up to you first, Neville!"

The little wizards looked at Neville stepping forward with the same sad eyes as they were sending Neville to the gallows.

But Zhang Xiao immediately cheered up. Neville had changed a lot, but except for your closest friends, who cares what you become?

Even with Snape's actions in Potions class that shook him up for a whole year, everyone's stereotype of Neville still exists.

That is, he is good-tempered, kind, and courageous, but very clumsy.

Neville nodded and walked forward directly. Lupine looked at Neville's calm expression with some surprise.
