Magical Studies at Hogwarts

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

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

He waved and asked everyone to follow him and arrived at a classroom on the fifth floor that had been abandoned for a long time. When he opened the door, he found that it was very clean and tidy inside.

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

"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 shape-shift. 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, it hurts you."

Professor Luping's tone became serious.

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

"The most terrifying Boggart attack ever recorded was two hundred 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 the Muggles."

"For this reason, the Ministry of Magic had to deploy a large amount 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 the Boggart."

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

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

"Okay, 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, strengthen your will and turn it from what you fear 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 feel ridiculous?"

"If it gets beaten around with a broom, I will feel 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 shook a little, swallowed, pointed the 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.

From behind, Ike's head was full of black lines. 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 cockroaches stopped immediately, and the bird on their 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 the 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 have all turned into pink, even sprinkled with colorful sequins.

.

Slowly, everyone in front of Ike succeeded, and finally it was 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.

"Crack, click"

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

Everyone looked at the black fog with some strangeness, and Professor Lupine 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.

"Crack!"

With a soft sound, an ordinary brown paper bag fell to the ground. The mouth of the bag was open, and there was nothing inside.

"Funny!"

Ike waved his magic wand, and the paper bag immediately turned pink, with an image 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?

Piles 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 all kinds of funny things.

Ike smiled, but he kept thinking in his heart. He knew very well that the spinning 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

Under such force majeure, Boggart had no way of knowing.

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

Occlumency Master (customized version)
