Chapter 149

Lucius and Draco said something alone, Solim didn't know, but he could guess it. However, the protagonist of this matter is still Draco, and what he wants to do in the end is still up to him, and this Solim will not care.

The third-year students' attention had now shifted from Draco's injury to the Defence Against the Dark Arts professor. Lupin is undoubtedly a capable professor, this is different from the professors that the students have been exposed to in the previous two years, the first two professors of the Defense Against the Dark Arts class are simply a disaster, especially last year, to be honest, many students don't actually have any hope for this course, but Lupin's arrival has given them hope. Word had spread about him on the train, and a professor who could cast the Patronus Charm was undoubtedly qualified, and he also encountered Peeves when he led them to the defense classroom, this annoying elf was very difficult, and all the students knew this, but Professor Lupin easily drove Peeves away, and from this point of view, Professor Lupin added a lot of points.

Compared to Professor Quirrell, who stuttered and had no purpose in class, and Professor Lockhart, who turned Defense Against the Dark Arts class into a stage play and constantly bragged about himself in class, Professor Lupin undoubtedly had real skills, although he didn't dress well and looked a little shabby.

When the students entered the classroom, they were surprised to find that Professor Snape was there, which left the students scratching their heads.

But Professor Snape was clearly not here to give them a lesson, and he had a brief conversation with Professor Lupin, and if it was incomprehensible to what medicine had been boiled, what should be drunk, and what should not go wrong, no one in the room knew what they were talking about, except for Solim.

However, the students' attention was quickly diverted, and a cabinet that kept shaking and making noises caught everyone's eye.

"Don't be afraid," Professor Lupin said calmly, "there's just a boggart in there." "

Some Muggle-born students looked at each other, they hadn't heard of this thing at all. And some of the little wizards who knew what Boggart was were scared.

While scanning the students, Lupin noticed a very interesting thing, the group of people on the left were Gryffindor students, the group on the right was Slytherin students, and in the middle stood the impressive Solim Selwyn.

What happened on the train is still fresh in Lupin's memory. Lupin was surprised by the fact that a third-year student, of course, was not technically in his third year at the time, could unleash an entire Patronus, and seemed to be quite lethal to the Dementors. You know, the four of them couldn't have done that at Solim's age.

When Lupin arrived at the school, he also asked other professors about Solim - except for Professor Binns. Lupin also went to Hogwarts, he knew very well what Professor Binns was like, Professor Binns he couldn't remember the names of the students at all, and the students were basically sleeping or busy with their own things in his class, and no one would listen to Professor Binns's lectures at all.

However, Lupin could not have imagined that there really was a student at Hogwarts who would listen carefully and take notes in Professor Binns's class, and he would not have imagined that there would be a student who had only taken one history of magic class and never visited the history of magic class again. However, Lupin was even more surprised when he got to know Solim in general, and he found that the student's grades were not good, Professor McGonagall, Professor Flitwick, and even Professor Snape all had a very high opinion of the student, but the student was usually very low-key, rarely answering questions in class, but he did his best homework every time. When Lupin learns that Solim has killed a troll that broke into the castle on his own when he was in his first grade, he is not in good shape. Strangely, however, the other students knew that Solim was more because of his sister, the daughter of the Selwyns. This student is a little too low-key, he has almost no presence in the school, he doesn't speak in class, he disappears after class, except for meal time and break time, few students can touch him at other times. This made Lupin take a keen interest in Solim.

Standing in the middle, Solim didn't realize that there was anything wrong, and the students of Hogwarts had an unconscious habit: they liked to get together. Gryffindors like to huddle together, Slytherin people like to huddle together, Ravenclaws people like to huddle together, and Hufflepuffs like to huddle together. And Solim has always been a loner.

Solim had Draco on his left and Neville and Hermione on his right. He stood on the dividing line between Gryffindor and Slytherin.

"Alright," Lupin smiled inwardly as he looked at the students, who had stood the same way when he was a student, "which of you will tell me, Gert." "

One arm was raised extremely quickly, and the nearby students even heard the sound of breaking wind. Both Gryffindor and Slytherin students were no stranger to this. They would have wondered if the professor hadn't seen the arm when he asked a question one day.

"Uh-huh, Miss Granger. Lupin motioned for Hermione to answer the question.

"It's a creature that can shapeshift, it can turn into what you fear most, whether it's a person or a thing. "

"yes, I don't think I could have said better. Lupin nodded.

Hermione was smug.

"So, in the closet, the Bogut sitting in the dark, hasn't been shown in any way. It doesn't know what scares the people outside the door. No one knows what Boggart looks like when he's alone, but when I release it, it immediately becomes the thing that each of us fears the most. "

"So that means that before we start, we have a huge advantage for Boggart, you know what that is? Harry?"

Harry was stunned for a moment, he rarely answered questions in class - except for Potions class. Hermione jumped around with her arms raised.

"Uh...... We're so numerous? It doesn't know what it's going to become, is that right?"

"That's right!" said Lupin happily.

Hermione lowered her arm in disappointment, and Solim wondered if he should stay away from Hermione, otherwise he was afraid that Hermione would call her arm in his face without noticing.

"The spell to fight off the Boggart is simple, but it takes willpower. You know, what really scared Boggart off was laughter. All you have to do is force it to turn into what you think is a ridiculous image. "

Lupin clapped his hands, "Next, let's use a wand and try to say this spell - funny funny." "

"Funny funny. "There was a ragged sound in the classroom. There were also students who didn't open their mouths at all, like Solim.

Lupin turned a blind eye to this, "Alright, we should give it a formal try now." Neville. "

Neville was a little dazed when he heard his name, and the professors of the various subjects, except Professor Sprout, rarely called Neville's name in class.

"Get up! Solim poked Neville with his finger.

"Come on, Neville, tell me what you're most afraid of. Lupin said mildly.

As a result, Neville hesitated for a long time and refused to say anything.

"It's okay Neville, you don't have to worry about Boggart when I'm here, be bold and say it. Lupin was still trying to lure him, but Neville gritted his teeth this time.

"Well," Lupin compromised, "it's okay, I think we'll know what you're most afraid of in a moment." "

Yes, indeed, as soon as Boggart comes out, no need for Neville to say it, others will know what he is afraid of.

"I can't think of anyone else but Professor Snape. Ron muttered to Harry.

"I don't think so. Hermione said inwardly, then glanced at the obvious man standing.

"Prepare your wand, Neville, and all you have to do is say the incantation aloud. You're going to be okay. Lupin then told the students to line up and go up one by one when Neville was done.

As a result, as soon as he heard this, the students swarmed back, and Solim was exposed, Solim didn't care, before he came to Hogwarts, Solim had seen Boggart when he was in Schule, but he didn't know that what he saw at that time was not the same as what he was going to see later.

"Ready—three—two—one," Lupin waved his wand, and the door to the cabinet opened.

The first thing to note - the hinges of this cabinet door are on the left, that is, the cabinet opens from the right. As one hand held on to the door frame and prepared to come out, Solim stared dumbfounded at the right hand holding the door frame, the ring on his hand to be exact.

"%............" Before Solim could say anything, another Solim stepped out of the cupboard.

"I'm coming out......" Solim was surprised to find that he was still complaining about himself.

The students, who had seen Boggart's appearance, looked at Solim in surprise as he stood there - but they could only see the back of his head.

"Uh...... This...... What a surprise......" Lupin pinched his wand with a look of surprise. He looked at Neville and then at Solim, who had a cold face.

Neville was on the verge of fainting, and the real Solim was standing behind him, and Neville could even feel his cousin's gaze on him.

Neville's biggest fear was not Professor Snape but Solim, and the news would surely spread at the speed of a disillusionment. _
