Starting Over at Hogwarts

This is a big classroom.

The third-year students from all the houses in Hogwarts were gathered together to take this Defense Against the Dark Arts class.

A group of young wizards walked into the classroom wearing school uniforms and saw Dumbledore waiting for them. The principal had already put on a decent wizard robe.

The old man with a gray beard seemed to have returned to his youth, looking at the group of little guys who came in with a kind face: "I will be the professor of the Defense Against Dark Arts class in the last month of this semester, let a The elderly wizard is here to teach you, I hope you won’t be too disappointed..."

"of course not!"

The Weasley twins from Gryffindor House waved excitedly!

Even though they usually make trouble in school, when they saw a legend from the wizarding world coming to teach them, the two Weasleys couldn't hide their excitement!

Most students from other colleges are also very excited!

Even the young wizards of Slytherin House, who have always been arrogant, were excitedly discussing Dumbledore's teaching level in low voices at this moment...

"Well, it seems that everyone is very tolerant of a teacher..."

Dumbledore smiled gently and waved his hand to signal the students present to quiet down: "Please be quiet and let us start class immediately. After all, today's class will take a long time..."

Yes.

Today's class will be long.

Dumbledore glanced at all the students present, his eyes fell on Wesson and paused for a second, then continued to look at the other students, and then began to speak slowly about today's Defense Against the Dark Arts class.

"Today we are going to learn how to deal with the threat of Boggarts. This is a kind of dark magical creature that is quite common but rare for people to actually see them..."

"Boggarts will feed on the fear in people's hearts. They are actually not powerful, but they have the most magical transformation technique in the world, which is even better than the transformation technique of an Animagus... "

"therefore…"

"They will turn into whatever object is most feared in the hearts of everyone who sees them, thus giving birth to the deepest fears in people's hearts..."

When talking about this, Dumbledore even smiled with interest and mentioned a little extracurricular knowledge: "Boggart's way of survival is actually a very interesting strategy for using transformation magic..."

After finishing these extracurricular tips, Dumbledore continued to talk about creatures like Boggart: "Of course, fake ones are just fake after all..."

"Boggarts use transformation to create fear in people's hearts. They can also be easily broken by magic. The simplest magic can do it..."

"Funny."

Dumbledore whispered the spell to subdue the Boggart and introduced the principle of this spell: "Using simple magic to comically transform the Boggart, you can get rid of your inner fear and solve the troubles caused by the Boggart... "

"When one faces one's fears..."

"That's when a person's heart is strongest."

After finishing speaking, Dumbledore waved his hand and continued with a smile: "Okay, let's get familiar with the spells first. After a while, we will try to deal with Boggarts... Everyone must try it. Fight a Boggart."

"..."

A group of little wizards were stunned for a while.

When this group of little wizards watched Dumbledore carrying a box, the studious little guys quickly began to silently memorize the spell to break the Boggart!

to be honest.

This spell is quite simple.

It was a surprise only for Wesson. After all, his method of learning magic spells was a bit strange, and he might not be able to learn it in such a short period of time...

certainly.

Wesson also has his own methods.

Wesson had already previewed the [Funny] spell to break the Boggart in advance, and he had reviewed it specially for this lesson!

Ten minutes later.

Dumbledore seemed to feel that the classroom was slowly getting quieter. The old man looked at the students who stopped reciting the curse silently. He smiled at the corner of his mouth and said, "Well, who is willing to be the first to try?" Try it?"

As he spoke, Dumbledore looked back at a suitcase he had placed on the ground, and then at the students present. The old man's eyes revealed a hint of encouragement.

However, before Dumbledore took the initiative to call his name, the students of Gryffindor House quickly raised their hands, eager to challenge the Boggart!

Apparently.

Gryffindor always likes the group at the front!

Several prickly students from Slytherin House saw this scene and couldn't help but curl their lips: "These Gryffindors are all a bunch of people who don't care about their lives!"

It's just that these Slytherin students can only say this sentence, because the devil Wesen Wright is in class with them today...

Wesson seemed to have heard the complaints of the Slytherins. He always had a kind smile on his face and gently glanced back at the students. This glance made the students immediately tremble with fear. Hiding behind others!

"Weisen, do you want to try it first?"

Cedric looked at his friend and then at the suitcase on the ground, with unconcealable excitement on his face: "This is the first time I have seen a Boggart. My dad often says that he handles it every year." A lot of trouble caused by Boggarts!”

"It's better to show some humility..."

Weisen smiled and shook his head, and even took a few steps back. He didn't want to let himself affect today's class.

"Wow!"

"Wow, that's scary!"

While they were still chatting here, a burst of exclamation suddenly came from the front. Apparently, the first student to face the Boggart had already started!

The first student to try to deal with the Boggart was undoubtedly one of the Weasley twins. The two of them were never afraid of anything, and their favorite thing to do was to make a little splash in the school!

the first person…

None other than George Weasley.

When the red-haired Weasley stood in front of the Boggart, the suitcase on the ground quickly changed and turned into a corpse lying on the ground!

The corpse that this boggart turned into looked exactly like George Weasley, even the clothes were the same!

However, there was a big hole in the chest of the corpse, and the blood stained the clothes. It looked really scary...

"Am I dead?"

George Weasley's face was a little distorted. He couldn't help but look at his body, and there was even a trace of disgust and confusion: "Am I actually a person who is afraid of death?"

This is too insulting to Gryffindor!

This boggart actually thinks he's afraid of death!

Fred Weasley stood next to George, clapped his hands and applauded his brother, and loudly shouted and laughed: "Ho ho ho ho! George, it is normal to be afraid of death!"

"Well, it is true that no one is not afraid of death..."

George Weasley's face fell. He could only shrug helplessly, picked up his wand, pointed it at the corpse on the ground, and chanted the breaking spell!

"Funny!"

As the spell took effect, the corpse on the ground seemed to have changed little. The body transformed by the Boggart was still lying on the ground, not moving at all.

A group of young wizards couldn't help but look at each other in confusion.

what is happening?

Why do you feel like something always goes wrong in this class?

"Huh? What happened? Is this Boggart dead?"

George Weasley turned over his wand and looked at Dumbledore, the substitute: "Mr. Dumbledore, is the Boggart dead, or is my spell invalid? Should I try again?" Another spell..."

"The spell worked."

Dumbledore smiled and shook his head.

Just as a group of young wizards were surprised and began to discuss in whispers, the body of 'George' turned into a Boggart suddenly jumped up from the ground and made faces at everyone present!

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!"

A group of little wizards were so frightened that they backed away!

Even the girls who came close were so frightened that their faces turned pale and their eyes were red!

What is going on in this class!

Why is George Weasley's situation when facing the Boggart different from what Dumbledore taught them? This 'George' making a face is much scarier than 'George's' corpse!

but…

They quickly stopped there.

Dumbledore had to take action to stop this strange farce and arranged for the next student to come forward and continue practicing to deal with Boggart.

the second…

It happened to be Fred Weasley, George's brother.

When Fred Weasley stood in front of the Boggart, he even challenged his brother with great interest: "I will definitely not be as afraid of death as you are..."

"But we're exactly the same."

George Weasley didn't care at all about his provocation and quickly retorted: "So you must be afraid of death too!"

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

Fred Weasley smiled and shook his head. His eyes slowly fell on the Boggart in front of him. The Boggart quickly began to change rapidly!

But the strange thing is...

This Boggart seems to have turned into the corpse of 'Fred Weasley' again!

No!

This time it should be said that it is not a corpse!

This is a seriously injured and dying 'Fred Weasley'!

When George Weasley saw this scene, he laughed and repeated his words loudly to his brother: "Hey, Fred, we are the same!"

"Okay, maybe I am indeed afraid of death!"

Fred Weasley smiled helplessly. He wanted to refute but was a little weak. He could only shake his head and sighed to himself like a drama actor: "After all, who in this world is not afraid of death..."

Just as Fred Weasley sighed and wanted to wave his wand to cast a spell to solve this Boggart's farce, the severely injured and dying 'Fred' on the ground suddenly laughed and started talking. talk…

'Hey, Fred...'

The seriously injured 'Fred' actually smiled and told the real Fred Weasley his last words: "After I die, don't shed a single tear, understand? Take my share with you. Live happily..."

"Hahahahahaha..."

Fred Weasley felt that they had met a quite interesting Boggart. This Boggart was pretending to be himself and giving him his last words?

This Boggart is too cute!

Fred Weasley laughed loudly and pointed at that 'self'. He almost laughed and covered his stomach: "Why does it think I'm afraid of this...Why did I give myself my last words before I died?" …”

"..."

The little wizards in the entire classroom couldn't help laughing.

This Boggart is so weird! The introduction in class obviously brought fear to everyone, but now it brings everyone so much joy!

throughout the classroom.

Only one person was left not smiling.

That was Dumbledore who was still watching all this carefully.

Even Cedric, who has always been serious, couldn't help but laugh and discuss this with his friends: "This Boggart is so weird. I have never seen such a fun Boggart." , Dad also thinks they are difficult to deal with..."

"Isn't it strange..."

There was a slight smile on Wesson's lips. He looked at the Weasley brothers who were laughing heartlessly and said in a moderate voice: "This is just a special case... maybe... that Boggart The transformed people are not themselves..."

"perhaps…"

"What George saw was Fred's body..."

"Now what Fred sees is George before he dies?"

Weisen's voice is actually not high.

However, everyone who heard him suddenly became quiet in an instant, and everyone's smiles slowly faded away.

everyone…

They couldn't help but look at the twin brothers.

The twin brothers entered school together with them. In the past three years, everyone has always seen the twin brothers staying together. It seems that they have never been missing anyone...

but…

If one day…

Is there only one twin brother left?

After Fred Weasley heard Wesson's words, he looked at the seriously injured and dying 'self' transformed by the Boggart, and he suddenly realized that this might not be the scene before his death. This Boggart was... What Gert transformed into was the image of his brother George Weasley before he died!

"George..."

Fred Weasley finally realized his biggest fear in his life. His face turned pale with fear and his eyes immediately turned red!

Compared to Fred Weasley, George Weasley's face didn't look good either. He remembered the scene he just saw, which was the body of his brother Fred...

They both look exactly the same...

There was silence in the entire classroom.

Fred Weasley looked at the people on the ground who were gradually no longer breathing. He actually felt that George had died in front of him. His breathing became heavier and heavier, and it felt like there was a ball of gunpowder in his chest. It's like exploding!

Anyone can see it…

Fred Weasley has slowly fallen into fear, and now he can't even remember the spell to fight the Boggart!

This is a Boggart!

Never underestimate the fear it brings!

"Fred, I'm still alive!"

George Weasley patted Fred's shoulder, pressed Fred's wrist, and reminded loudly next to him: "Hurry up and say the spell!"

“Funny funny…”

Fred recited the spell while sweating profusely.

When the spell took effect, the Boggart-transformed George Weasley suddenly came to life, reached behind himself and took out a bottle of tomato juice, and smeared the tomato juice on his face like a clown. , everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief...

"Never underestimate a Boggart."

Dumbledore taught everyone calmly. He looked at the other students and continued with a serious expression: "I hope everyone will not be careless. Next time..."
