Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

It was as if someone had pressed the pause button on time.

Anriel suddenly understood the viewpoint he had read on a forum long time ago in his previous life:

"The more powerful the wizard, the more intractable the Boggart is."

If a creature like a Boggart could reflect a wizard's deepest fears no matter how strong his inner defenses were...

Those who are capable and great, their physical instincts will allow them to solve problems -

For example, when a Boggart turns into a Dementor, they will instinctively recite Expecto Patronus.

But what if there is no solution to the things they fear?

……

A strange 17-year-old boy stood in the gray fog, looking at Anriel with his dead, lifeless, empty eyes.

The young man had cloudy cataracts under his eyes and a missing lip. When he opened his mouth, one could clearly see that he was missing a yellow tooth.

He... faced Anriel and forced a dead smile.

The boy's eyes were dull and his pupils were unfocused...

Lividity spread across his pale skin, and some parts had already begun to rot...

He is a dead man, a corpse.

the most important is……

his face.

......

The muscles on the sides of Anriel's face were tense, he clenched his teeth tightly, and the knuckles of his hand holding the wand had turned white.

But he remained calm.

The moment he saw this man, he knew what his deepest fear was.

Because... this is his own face.

But this doesn't mean Anriel is afraid of death.

Because this is...

His face in his past life.

......

"Funny!"

Anriel's wand made a crackling sound.

This was the first time he yelled a spell.

The gray fog quickly shrank back into the cracks in the skin of the dead man in front of him, and the pale dead face turned rosy at an incredible speed.

The eyes are clear and the pupils are focused.

After the gray fog completely disappeared, the dead became the living...

The time that was paused started to flow again.

Lupin was surprised to see that when Boggart faced Anriel, he turned into a strange boy.

She looks like she's only about 17 or 18 years old...

Why is Anriel afraid of this person?

Lupin was very confused and he secretly memorized the boy's appearance.

And Anriel didn't care what Lupin was thinking now.

Because under his gaze, the young man opposite him opened and closed his lips and said something silently.

Judging from the shape of the mouth, there are two Chinese characters——

"return."

Before Anriel could react, the young man turned around, turned into a wisp of gray smoke, and went into the open closet.

"Well done, Anriel!"

Lupin hurried over in two or three steps and slammed the wardrobe door shut.

"The silent spell is very neat and clean!"

He paused and smiled at Anriel:

"Should I give extra points to your college at this time?

Let me see... ten points for Ravenclaw."

Anriel also came back to his senses at this time, suppressed all his emotions, and responded with a smile:

"Ah, thank you Professor Lupin."

After a few casual greetings, Anriel found an excuse to leave the staff lounge.

He had no intention of returning to the common room or dormitory, but rushed all the way up to the eighth floor.

He didn't even pace three times in front of a tapestry of a troll beating up a ballet teacher before the intensity of the emotion caused the Room of Requirement to open to him.

Anriel pushed the door open a little impatiently.

A refreshing cool breeze blew in my face——

Half of the room faces the beach, and the other half faces a standard outdoor swimming pool.

Anriel calmed himself down, changed his clothes, and then went straight into the cold water pool.

The cold water waves hit him, allowing him to reexamine everything that had just happened in a state of physical calm.

Anriel was not that afraid of death. In fact, when he accepted this body and the memories in it, he cared more about who had the ability to kill him than the fear of death.

That's obviously not what Bogut meant.

What he saw was his dead body from his previous life.

He was indeed free from worries and troubles in his previous life, and could truly be said to be a congenitally holy body.

But this also means that even if he died, it would probably take until his body rotted and started to stink before being discovered.

across...

Even when he was alive, he didn't believe it.

Anriel's fear is the same as that of all those who have traveled through time and space into works of art such as anime.

They are all afraid that this world is fake.

Anriel suddenly scooped up a handful of cold water and splashed it on his face.

Why do you always use NetEase Cloud Music when you have nothing to do?

Is this something you should be thinking about now?!

Anriel sank below the surface of the water without spitting out any bubbles, and just lay there at the bottom.

Yeah, why think so much?

Live one day at a time, earn one day at a time.

"puff……"

Anriel spurted out the water from his trachea and climbed out of the swimming pool.

No matter whether he is fake or not, just live first.

Even if it is really a dream, I have to be happy about it first.

After thinking about this clearly, Anriel suddenly felt like he was an idiot.

Is it necessary? No.

Anriel wiped his face with a towel and casually pulled out a paper document from the shelf.

The good thing about the Room of Requirement is that it really grants whatever you ask for, and it really gives you what you want.

For example, what Anriel has in his hand now is a copy of yesterday's Daily Prophet.

The huge prison photo of Sirius Black still dominated the front page.

Here are some interesting things written:

"The fugitive has appeared? A Muggle claims to have found Sirius Black!"

The first half of the story is all about the horrific crimes that Sirius was framed for, and the second half begins to speak normal language:

"…According to reliable sources from the Ministry of Magic, they have received a report from a Muggle citizen from the Muggle Prime Minister.

The content of the report was the current fugitive from Azkaban, Sirius Black.

In Muggle newspapers, Sirius Black was described as a brutal serial killer, which was indeed the case. He once used a spell to kill 12 people in a row.

Regarding the Azkaban escape incident, relevant personnel said…"

Anriel simply turned the newspaper to the back.

Sure enough, the last two lines of the article mentioned the place where Sirius appeared, which was in a small Muggle village not far from Hogwarts, or more precisely, Hogsmeade.

Very good, first talk about Sirius' criminal history, then criticize the Ministry of Magic, and finally create panic and exaggerate the atmosphere...

The most important information was not mentioned until the page was almost finished.

I turned the page and saw the editor-in-chief was Rita Skeeter.

Great, journalism magic moment.

Anriel was amused. He casually put on his clothes, put on his robe and left the Room of Requirement.
