Chapter 103

I have to say that Harry is really a natural Auror. His intuition is very accurate and he discovered the key points at once.

Lupine praised loudly: "Exactly right!"

Hermione put down her hands with some disappointment, and John put his hands down as well. He looked at Lupin.

You kid, go back and deduct your salary.

Of course, that's assuming Lupine goes back to work.

Lupine was very satisfied with the performance of his old friend's son. He patted the closet and said casually: "I once met a Boggart who wanted to scare two people at the same time, but ended up turning into half a slug. It’s not scary at all.”

"The spell to repel a Boggart is very simple, but requires great strength of will."

When Lupine said this, he had a smile on his face and said relaxedly: "You know, what really makes Boggart completely destroyed is laughter. What we need is to force it to become an image that you find funny. ."

Lupine raised his wand and walked up to the crowd and began to teach.

"Pick up the wand, let's practice the spell first, please say it after me... funny!"

The students found that this professor was much better than the previous two Defense Against the Dark Arts professors, and their interest became very high, shouting: "Funny!"

"Very good, very good! This is still a very simple part. This spell alone is not enough. Remember, laughter is the key to defeating the Boggart. Neville, it's up to you now."

When his name was suddenly called, Neville's face, which already had a pointed chin, froze. He stepped forward nervously, but not out of fear.

"Very well, Neville." Lupine originally thought that this boy would be scared, but now it seems that Longbottom's son is not a coward.

He stood next to Neville and asked gently: "Neville, what are you most afraid of in this world?"

Neville's lips moved, he looked in the direction of John, and whispered: "Professor Snape."

Professor Lupine snorted, Snape's popularity was still so low.

In fact, Neville wanted to talk about John, but seeing John staring at him made him very decisive and only talk about one person.

If John knew that this kid was afraid of him, he would definitely train harder.

Imagine John emerging from the closet.

That social death scene was enough for John to beat up Neville.

People around him heard Neville being afraid of Professor Snape, and they immediately burst into laughter. After all, Professor Snape was not very popular.

John caught a glimpse of several Slytherin students smiling too, and thought to himself that you are really not afraid of death.

Professor Lupine asked Neville to imagine how his grandmother would dress, and he also had a bit of mischief in his heart.

As a former member of the Marauders Squad, Professor Lupine, although not as jumpy as the other three, still has the courage to jump repeatedly on the line between life and death for Gryffindor.

Opening the wardrobe remotely, the old wardrobe stopped shaking, and then a hand pushed open the door.

John couldn't help it when he saw this scene, and screamed in his heart that Professor Snape had come out as gay.

The Professor Snape who walked out was not only exactly the same, he was just the same person.

He looked like a bat, staring fiercely at Neville.

After training, Neville became much bolder, but he was still a little scared, so he raised his wand and pointed.

"Funny."

As soon as the Boggart, who turned into Professor Snape, took a step forward, the clothes on his body changed into a red and green female dress.

The sight made everyone burst into laughter, and John heard Malfoy laugh too.

Professor Lupine laughed the loudest. When the Boggart was at a loss, he waved his hand and shouted: "Parvati, come on!"

With this scene, everyone is no longer afraid.

One after another came forward to test, and the Boggart kept changing.

This poor tool was ridiculed in every way.

The students took turns to fight, and when it was Ron's turn, as expected, he turned into a big spider.

He uttered the spell, and the spider's legs disappeared and it rolled around on the ground, finally landing at Harry's feet.

Harry was about to take action when he saw the Boggart begin to change.

Just as he was about to transform, Lupine rushed in front of him, and the Boggart immediately turned into a silver-white ball hanging in front of Lupine.

But not long after, he turned into a balloon and flew towards John.

The balloon that arrived in front of John paused, and the Boggart changed rapidly.

Just when everyone was wondering what John was afraid of, they discovered that the Boggart was changing crazily as if it was out of control.

All the previous things were changed, and finally turned into something that looked nothing like anything.

Everyone, including Professor Lupine, was stunned.

Especially Professor Lupine, he has never seen such a Boggart.

An idea suddenly popped up in his mind. John thought what would happen if he imagined the original shape of the Boggart?

Even Lupine had never seen the form of a boggart, and John didn't mind letting everyone know.

He immediately constructed the image of Boggart in his mind, and the Boggart's changing movements stagnated.

Then he quickly got back into the old closet and locked the door.

This scene made everyone present dumbfounded. Why did the Boggart run away on his own?

Only John was thoughtful and murmured: "It seems that even the Boggart who can peek into other people's hearts is not willing to accept his original self."

He looked up at Lupin, how could he count this time?

Professor Lupin didn't know how to calculate it. You could say it failed. The Boggart was scared away and went back.

But if it was a success, John hadn't even touched the wand.

Professor Lupine was confused now, but the class was over soon.

Professor Lupin didn't have to worry anymore, he added 5 points to Gryffindor, and Hermione, Harry, and Neville also received extra points.

Assigned homework, an essay on Boggarts.

Malfoy conspired loudly. He felt that Professor Lupin was definitely biased towards Gryffindor. He deliberately pretended to be invisible when John raised his hand, and the limelight was given to Gryffindor.

This statement aroused Slytherin's approval. It was obvious that John was the best one.

They all felt sorry for John.

But John was thinking about something else.

"Boggarts look into the heart, and dementors absorb souls and happiness. If I combine the two..."

His eyes became brighter and brighter, and he seemed to have found some ways to try.

Chapter 119 Capturing Dementors and Abstract Boggarts

A week after the school started, Professor Lu Ping’s superb teaching standards have been highly praised by the whole school.

Regarding Neville letting Professor Boggart Snape put on women's clothing, everyone secretly applauded.

The cost was several times more than the number of times Neville was scolded in Potions class. Professor Snape always stared at Neville with his sinister and malicious eyes.

Almost all the extra points in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class were deducted by Professor Snape.

John completed his homework well and gave Slytherin a lot of points.

His excellence was obvious to all, and Professor Snape's attitude towards him became even better.

Heinrich was also very good in various subjects, but he was not very popular.

Except for John, he looked down on everyone else.

His whole body exudes an aura that prevents strangers from entering, and his morbid face looks like a vampire. He never hesitates to cast evil spells on those who speak ill of him.

Slytherin's points were deducted for this, but it made Slytherin secretly happy.

If a person is bullied, he may feel resentful.

But when a group of people are bullied, they will feel normal.

Heinrich was secretly known as a Slytherin vampire, and the twins often found ways to secretly add garlic essence to him.

The smell of gunpowder between the two became stronger and stronger, and one time they started fighting directly in the Charms class.

Two against one, Heinrich did not lose, and in the end it was Professor Flitwick who took action to resolve the dispute between the three.

Night comes.

John left the dormitory quietly. He did not go to the Room of Requirement, but left the castle quietly.

Outside the castle, dementors roam and patrol.

John cast a disembodiment spell on himself. Although Dumbledore said that these things were useless to dementors, in fact, dementors were only able to sense emotions.

Especially happiness, those things are the most delicious food for dementors.

Using Occlumency, John sealed himself, like a steel plate, without any emotion coming out, airtight.

A wandering dementor was targeted by him. John calculated the route the dementor took, and he set traps along the route.

The dementor hadn't been noticed yet and was wandering around slowly.

John appropriately opened a gap in his brain to stop the Dementor.

It smelled emotions, and after leaving Azkaban, it hadn't had a full meal for a long time, and the dementor immediately approached John's direction.

Seeing the Dementor approaching, John immediately closed his brain, and the wonderful smell disappeared. The Dementor was a little puzzled, and it wandered around unwillingly.

Soon, the dementors arrived at the place where John had set the trap.

It was a box that looked delicate and complicated, yet it was placed casually like that.

The dementors approached, and there seemed to be some suspicious people hiding inside.

The moment he reached out to touch it, the box opened.

There was a suction force coming from the empty box, and the Dementor's body was dragged into the box as if it was sucked by a vacuum cleaner.

John stepped forward to close the box. More than a dozen locks on the box jingled and clicked, and they were all locked, leaving the Dementors with no possibility of escaping.

"Successful."

With a smile on his face, John cast a levitating spell on the box.

Taking the box with him, he headed back to the castle.

This is a box he specially made just to capture the dementors.

After completing his purpose, John went to the Forbidden Forest, where he threw the box into the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets.

The secret room had been transformed, and books about souls were floating in the air. John reached out and brushed one.

Flipping through the pages of the book quickly, I found records about dementors.

"The structure of the Dementor itself is between the soul and the body. It looks a bit like a ghost, but the ghost is not as powerful as it."

Staring at the record about dementors in the book, John touched the silver skull in the room and fell into deep thought.

"Clang."

There was a crashing sound in his ears, and he looked next to the box, where an old cabinet was placed.

An idea suddenly popped into his mind, what would happen to a Boggart if it encountered a Dementor?

Just as he was told, John cast the Disillusionment Charm on himself, then cast Occlumency and waved his hand at the boxes and cupboards.

There was a click of the box being unlocked, and a click of the cupboard being opened.

Almost at the same time, the dementor emerged from the box, and inside the cupboard, a cloud of black smoke quickly twisted and changed, and finally twitched a few times, turning into an extremely unlikeable black albatross.

Both sides were stunned for a moment when they met. Neither of them had eyes, but they gave people the feeling of big eyes staring at small eyes.

The dementors were wandering around the room, and the boggart was waving its wings as if simulating something.

"Isn't this imitating my patron saint?"

The corner of his mouth twitched slightly, and John looked at the twisted albatross image of the Boggart, which seemed to be imitating his patron saint.

Coincidentally, the dementor John caught was actually one of the ones he kicked out on the train.
