Chapter 51
Neville swallowed and looked at the house that exuded a strange atmosphere. He still mustered up the courage to walk over.
John saw him passing by, while he looked aside.
This house has been abandoned for a long time, and the shabby furniture inside can easily be seen in some luxurious style.
John pushed open a wooden door, which creaked in disrepair.
Luna walked in curiously. There was no fear in her eyes. This weird girl trusted John very much after knowing him for less than a day.
"It looked like a kitchen with a tree outside."
Through the gaps between the nailed wooden boards, you can see the swaying shadows of trees outside.
The faint of heart probably won't be able to stay here long.
"We're going to find Neville Longbottom, he should be scared."
Luna could always see through a person clearly, and John thought about it. This place might not be very friendly to Neville.
He turned around to look for Neville, but he hadn't been found yet.
John heard Neville's fearful voice.
"Professor Snape, I didn't mean to do that."
"No need to explain, Neville Longbottom, Gryffindor has been deducted 100 points because of you!"
Professor Snape's voice was cold and ruthless, and Gryffindor was deducted 100 points because of it. Neville couldn't imagine how he would be scolded by his classmates.
He covered his head in fear as Professor Snape approached him step by step.
John felt something was wrong after hearing it outside. Even if Professor Snape liked to deduct points, he would not deduct points like this.
Deduct 100 points. This is a punishment that only the dean of this hospital can impose.
He immediately realized that this Professor Snape might be fake.
When Professor Snape still wanted to get closer to Neville, John kicked in the door directly.
"Stupefy"
The red light hit Professor Snape and sent him flying into the cabinet.
John pointed his wand at the other party and said calmly: "Who are you?"
"No, John, you'll get fired!"
Neville couldn't imagine John attacking the professor, and it frightened him even more.
John stared at Professor Snape.
After Professor Snape saw John, his body turned into a messy and rotating black shadow.
After spinning for a while, a plate of freshly baked starry sky pie fell to the ground, and Professor Snape disappeared.
"This is?"
Not to mention John, even Neville was stunned.
When John saw the star-gazing pie with four dead fish heads stuck in the pie, a sad expression appeared on John's face.
The dark cuisine of the British Empire made him very uncomfortable.
"It can transform, and it's in a dark place... Is this a Boggart?"
After John recalled for a while, he remembered a magical creature.
"I remember that Boggarts can turn into things that others are afraid of. I can understand Neville being afraid of Professor Snape, but am I afraid of the Stargazers?"
After a moment of silence, John stared at the pie and suddenly remembered that he was running Occlumency all the time.
Perhaps it was because of this that Boggart turned into a dark dish that he hated.
He was speechless and glanced at the cabinet. Boggarts liked to stay in dark and narrow places.
He walked up and kicked the Stargazing Party back into the cabinet, then waved his wand to lock the cabinet.
"Neville is okay. That was a Boggart. What were you thinking just now? Why did you become Professor Snape?"
John looked strange. Although it was no secret that Neville was afraid of Professor Snape, it was really scary that you could still think of Snape in this environment.
Neville was a little embarrassed and hesitantly said: "I thought about the points deduction last year, and also thought that Professor Snape might be waiting to deduct points from me in the room."
Well, it’s hard for this kid.
In the first grade, he was caught and deducted points for going to inform Harry, which made him feel psychological shadow about the demerited points.
But the point was deducted from Professor McGonagall. Why do you think it was Professor Snape who was ambushing you here?
John glanced at Luna. This girl didn't know the danger of things yet. She only thought that Boggart was very interesting and would turn into a fish pie.
"Well, it looks like our adventure ends here for today."
It was getting dark outside, and there was still a first grade student here. John decided not to be a bad guy and take people on a night out.
The three returned along the passage, and on their way out, Neville was almost hit by the Whomping Willow.
John quickly pulled him back with his quick eyes and hands, and then stabilized the Whomping Willow.
Back in the castle, the three of them went their separate ways.
"Thank you John, it was a fun adventure today."
Luna was in a good mood and her voice sounded as if she was singing.
"If you are interested, there are many interesting places in Hogwarts."
John waved goodbye to Luna, he was going to the Room of Requirement for training.
During training, John thought about Neville.
"Perhaps we can choose a better weapon for Neville."
This is the Gryffindor Swordsman, the one who can kill Horcruxes with one sword.
John felt that if a sword master didn't use a sword, what kind of sword master would he be?
He found some materials. It didn't need to be too detailed, as long as it had a rough shape of a sword.
With John's current alchemy level and Gryffindor's casting skills, he could complete a sword in no time.
It is much rougher than Ironwick's Sword, but it is a very good training tool for Neville.
Early the next morning, John sent it to Neville.
Neville didn't know why, so John said meaningfully: "Do you think there is a possibility that you are actually a sword master?"
"?"
Neville was stunned and didn't know what to say, but John encouraged him to learn the sword well and strive to become an awesome sword master in the future.
Hermione was reading Lockhart's book, and she didn't give up even after one of Lockhart's lessons. This made John admire Hermione's perseverance.
The fan girl filter is really scary, I hope she sees through Lockhart’s true face soon.
After finishing breakfast, John went to class. Today there was a potions class given by his dean.
If he was late, he wouldn't want to receive Professor Snape's death stare.
"I have earned so many points, why do I feel like he is still so unfriendly to me?"
John doesn't understand Professor Snape. Although he started fighting at the beginning of school, he won't let you hold a grudge for so long.
He met Malfoy on the road, and Malfoy asked him to wait and see how he would humiliate the Gryffindors on Saturday.
His father sponsored the entire team's Nimbus 2001, a more advanced broomstick than Potter's Nimbus 2000.
As for the garbage of other people in Gryffindor, not to mention the Comet and Sweeping Seven series, even if they are used to sweep the floor at home, they are not clean.
Malfoy seemed to have seen the day when he led Slytherin to win the trophy, which made John embarrassed to tell him that with Harry around, this dream would probably be difficult.
Who let him be the protagonist?
Chapter 61 The Forgetting Curse and True Identity
Friday.
During the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, Lockhart acted as if nothing had happened.
His teaching model still makes people feel bad, especially when he asked several students to play trolls and werewolves and start to interpret their glorious history.
"This is the worst class I've ever had."
Neville was miserable, and even Malfoy was not spared from being pulled over to become a vampire.
John still didn't add any points. Originally, Lockhart wanted John to come up and play the role of the Tibetan Snowman.
But seeing John's murderous look, he didn't dare to continue asking.
Hermione was a little skeptical at this time, but how could someone who could write such an excellent article be someone who didn't understand anything.
She was extremely confused.
"Neville, why are you carrying a sword on your back?"
Ron was still annoyed that his wand flew out and hit Professor Flitwick on the head during Charms class in the morning. When he turned around, he saw Neville with a sword on his back.
Harry was surprised: "Are you going to take a sword to settle a score with Malfoy?"
"No, it's John. He said he wanted to make me stronger, and he also said he wanted me to become a sword master."
Neville felt a lot of strange looks, and he didn't want to carry the sword, but John made him get used to it.
His words reminded Harry of the scene where John wielded a big sword against the troll last year. Harry said thoughtfully: "Maybe John is protecting Neville from Malfoy. After all, Malfoy is most afraid of John."
Ron felt that carrying a sword on his back did not mean that Neville would become John, but it was not impossible.
"Let's go see Hagrid tomorrow," Harry suggested.
Hermione had no plans that day, so she agreed.
Four people walked in the corridor, and John came out of a door.
John greeted several people: "Hello, Ron, I'm looking for you."
Ron was stunned when he heard that it was him.
"John what's the matter with you?"
"You forgot, I promised to repair your wand."
John raised his small bag and said with a smile: "I have been looking for some materials these days to see if I can repair it for you."
Ron held John's hand excitedly and said happily: "That's great John, you don't even know that this damn wand hit Professor Flitwick's head today."
"Well...that's really miserable."
John took his wand and the two pieces were taped together.
The simple and crude maintenance methods are so simple that dogs would shake their heads after seeing them.
“Aspen wood plus unicorn hair.”
"This belongs to Charlie. It's mine after I go to school."
Ron blushed a little. His family was a little poor and he even had to take his brother's wand.
John shook his head upon seeing this and said regretfully: "If this is the case, I suggest you give up this wand."
"Oh, please John, I don't have any more money to buy a new one."
Ron became anxious when he heard that it couldn't be repaired.
He didn't want to get any more howler letters.
Harry on the side comforted him: "Ron, I can give you money to buy a new one."
As a hidden rich man, Harry was very generous. Ron felt a little uncomfortable because he didn't want to spend his friends' money.
"No, this wand has been damaged. Maybe the core can be kept to match the new wand wood. I happen to have a good material on hand."
As Ollivander said, the wizard picks the wand, and the wand picks the wizard.
John had some suspicions that the reason why Ron often made mistakes in using magic was because of the wand.
