harry potter book of crimes

In the magical world, there have been many unsolved mysteries about magical creatures since ancient times. They are either elusive and invisible, or extremely dangerous and difficult to approach, or even invisible and invisible.

Take action.

For example, dementors are dark magical creatures that are usually three meters tall and wear a shabby black cloak with a hood.

From ancient times to the present, there may be many magical biologists who want to know what they look like under their cloaks. But everyone knows that just getting close to them will suck away all happiness and beauty, and it may even be possible

Devoured soul.

As far as modern wizards know, apart from the Patronus Charm that can ward off these terrible monsters, there is no more effective way to get away from them more safely, let alone doing specific research on them.

Similar to the mystery of the Dementors' true identity, there is the Boggart.

It is said that until now, no one has really seen the actual appearance of a Boggart. Because every time they encounter any kind of creature, they will immediately detect the fear in the other person's heart, and instantly change into what the other person is most afraid of.

thing.

Maka was "lucky" to have seen the true face of the Dementor under the cloak, but even he had never seen what the Boggart's true form looked like.

But today, outside the window of the first-year Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom, Maka got a clear look at the true nature of the Boggart thanks to a new student who just entered Hogwarts this year!

At this moment, Maka, who had just rushed over from the History of Magic class, saw through the window glass that the little wizards in the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom were still exclaiming, even Snape behind the podium.

Immediately put a cold word to stop their noise.

On the right side of the podium in front of the classroom, a large box was placed on the ground. There, a big-footed monster wearing khaki rags stood motionless in the box, holding high a black

His palms were frozen in place.

As for the student standing in front of the box, he stretched out his right arm steadily. He pointed the wand in his hand straight at the monster in front of him, obviously he had just cast some spell.

Although Maka could only see the back of the new student, he recognized it at a glance—it seemed to be Alexander Wolff, whom he had led into the magical world.

"...Oh! What spell did Alexander use just now?"

"Never mind what the curse is, this is the true form of the Boggart!"

"Didn't the book say that no one knows what it looks like? So... is this... what it really looks like?"

"Who knows? Maybe Alexander finally changed to the thing he fears most?"

"But this is... what kind of monster is this? What's so scary about it?"

Except for the first time, when Snape used a curtain to cover other people's sight and only let the students face the Boggart alone, from the second time onwards, he no longer did anything extra. Therefore, as he dealt with the Boggart,

The number of special attacks gradually increased, and everyone slowly remembered what others were afraid of.

According to Snape's consideration, this was done because after the initial class, everyone would definitely communicate with each other after class. However, he also believed that letting the young wizards joke and compare with each other would be more conducive to getting rid of their inner feelings as soon as possible.

fear.

From this point of view, Snape's approach was successful, but even he did not expect that there were actually students who could use spells other than the Boggart Banishing Curse to solve problems. Not only that, but even the Gryphon in front of him

There were so many students that they actually forced the Boggart's true form out!

"The Oblivion Curse?" Snape suppressed the shock in his heart and said coldly, "Mr. Wolfe, why did you use the second-year curse? Have you already mastered all the first-year content?

"

Although he had a little bit of admiration - yes, it was really just a little bit! But what surprised him was not that the first grader used the second grade curse.

Therefore, he was still full of disdain for what Alexander did. In his opinion, it was just a matter of luck.

A freshman solves a world-class puzzle? Who are you kidding?

"boom!"

Snape picked up the wand on the podium and waved it, knocking the Boggart directly back into the box, and the lid of the box closed tightly.

However, in many cases, this is the case. Maybe Alexander relied on luck, or maybe he got help from "some people", but now the person who solves the mystery of the Boggart's true identity is Alexander

·Wolf.

Snape glanced at the window with a hint of hesitation, and he was naturally looking at Maka standing there.

Maka immediately noticed the gaze directed at him. Seeing Snape's subtle look, he immediately waved his hand, indicating that it had absolutely nothing to do with him.

Seeing this, Snape still curled his lips in disbelief.

Since Snape glanced at the window several times, the little wizards in the classroom naturally discovered Maka's existence.

Now, amid the seniors' nonsense, many freshmen who have been influenced by Maka's deeds have become Maka's supporters. When they saw Maka standing outside the window, many students couldn't help but look at him.

After saying hello, even Snape's murderous look was ignored.

Maka, who was watching from the window, nodded to them, smiled at Snape, and then her eyes fell on Alexander.

At this moment, Alexander also followed everyone's gaze and turned around. When he saw Maka behind the window glass, he suddenly seemed quite excited.

For him, Maka is a very special existence. Maka not only has the friendship to lead him into the magical world, but also has the grace to save his father. In addition, Maka's legendary past makes him yearn for it, so naturally

He became Maca’s most loyal supporter.

As soon as he saw Maka, Alexander immediately waved his hands excitedly - but it had been a while since he had seen her.

Maka looked at Alexander, then at the monster standing in the box. After thinking for a moment, she turned and walked towards the front door of the classroom.

"Click——"

As the door handle turned, the door was gently pushed open from the outside.

"Professor Snape, excuse me."

The relationship between Maka and Snape has always been good. Even during the most tense period, they had never had a falling out. Now that Maka opened the door and came in, Snape just nodded expressionlessly.

There was no other reaction.

But Maka knew that Snape always liked to remain cold in front of students. At other times, the two of them would have gotten along very casually.

"Hello everyone... I am Maka McClain, the professor of ancient magic texts," he said, but quickly shook his head and smiled, "Okay, although you won't be able to take my elective course until the third grade.

We started to contact each other, but it seems that everyone already knows me..."

His words made the little wizards in the classroom burst into laughter. As for the atmosphere originally created by Snape, with the accidents in today's class, it finally completely disappeared at this moment.

Behind the podium, Snape looked at the scene in the classroom with a cold face and couldn't help but snorted softly.

"Okay, it's still class time after all, I didn't come in here to make everyone laugh! Just be quiet -" Maka quickly pressed her hand, then turned her head and looked to her side, "Alexander, what were you doing just now?"

When dealing with the Boggart, did you use the Oblivion Curse?"

"Uh... yes, Mr. MacLean... oh, professor." Seeing him asking, Alexander quickly replied.

"I won't ask you why you used the second-grade curse. You must have practiced hard..." Maka nodded, "What I want to know is, why did you think of using the Forgetting Curse?"

Dealing with Boggart? You know, the true identity of Boggart has always been a big question in the magic world."

"This..." Alexander was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then scratched the back of his head and said with a slight blush, "Actually, I didn't expect that this would reveal its true form... I just couldn't deal with it.

Boggart, it can be seen that everyone is gradually able to use the Boggart banishing spell to correctly solve it, so I wonder if other spells can be used..."

"Can't you use the Boggart expulsion spell?" Maca paused and said thoughtfully, "Oh, did it mean... the Boggart turned into your mother?"

"The body of..." Alexander added hesitantly, which showed that he still couldn't let go of the heavy emotion suppressed in his heart.

"Okay, I generally understand." Maka said, "You use the Forgetting Curse to continuously expel the Boggart's memory so that you can't remember the things you are afraid of. Since only a few memory fragments need to be cleared, so

Only at your current level can you successfully control it with the Oblivion Curse...is that right?"

"Yes, that's right!" Alexander nodded repeatedly, "Just like you said!"

"It's an excellent idea," Maka said, turning back to Snape, "I suggest giving some points to Gryffindor House... Professor Snape, what do you think? Seriously, this is

What a great find!”

"Huh? Tsk..." Snape clicked his tongue and said impatiently, "You have to add it yourself."

Maka couldn't help but shrug after hearing this, then turned around and said: "Well, because of Mr. Wolfe's interesting discovery, he won 5 points for Gryffindor... In addition, I will combine this discovery with

Mr. Wolfe's name was included in the letter and sent to Mr. Newt Scamander. I believe that when the next edition of "Monsters and Where to Find Them" comes out, this discovery will be known to the whole world."

"Okay, I won't bother you anymore..." He finally waved his hand and said, "Miss Sarah Hohenheim, if you have time after lunch, please come to my office."
