Chapter 160 Fear

In the afternoon, since Aiden did not choose arithmetic divination, it was already four o'clock when he met Edmund and the others again.

Ravenclaw's compulsory class on Monday afternoon is Defense Against the Dark Arts.

Lupin did not apply for a classroom, so he took the little wizards to class in the staff lounge.

"Ah, this damn feeling of relaxation." Aiden sighed as he walked into the lounge and saw Snape sitting with his legs crossed and drinking coffee.

"Look (well), isn't this the famous R.J. Lupin? He brought a group of little wizards with him. Don't you know where to go to attend classes?" Snape crossed his arms.

"I think it's better not to stick your nose into other people's business, isn't it, Severus?" Lupin raised his eyebrows.

"Hmph." Teacher Si snorted coldly, turned and walked out of the staff lounge.

"Wow, this is the first time I see a professor confront Professor Snape so directly." Ethan came over and said.

"Perhaps you will see more later," Edmund replied.

As a Lestrange from a paparazzi family, it seems that Edmund knows a lot of melodramatic stories.

Lupin walked up to the group, and the cabinet behind him seemed to shake.

"Well, kids, who wants to guess what's inside?" said Lupin.

"Boggart," Aiden replied.

"So who can tell me what a Boggart looks like?" asked Lupin.

"No one knows. Boggart will become the thing people fear the most, so no one knows what he looks like." Ethan jumped out and replied.

"Very good answer, five points from Ravenclaw." Professor Lupin added points to Ethan.

"Luckily, we have a simple spell that can deal with Boggarts, his spell is Ridiculous. Repeat it after me."

The young wizards followed Lupin in chanting the spell, and seeing that everyone had no problem with the pronunciation, Lupin gave a wicked smile.

"Very good, but you have to remember that the ultimate weapon against Boggart is laughter. Try your best to turn him into the funniest thing. Come on, I need someone to try."

Then Ethan's eyes rolled around, and while Aiden was daydreaming, he gestured to the people behind him to retreat.

Lupin also turned around at this moment and found that Aiden was standing in the front.

"Very good, Aiden, come on." Lupin nodded with his head.

Aiden looked back and saw Ethan grinning, then walked forward reluctantly.

"Come on, child, tell me what you fear most in your heart." Professor Lupin persuaded.

"Well, can I say I don't know?" Aiden tilted his head to act cute.

"Well, well, maybe sometimes we ourselves don't know what we are afraid of, but it doesn't matter, the Boggart will tell you."

Professor Lupin was a veteran and he quickly recovered.

"Come on, kid, step up front."

Lupin waved to Aiden, he took out his wand, pointed it at the cabinet, and the cabinet opened as he counted down.

There was a surge of black mist, and nothing happened.

"Are you afraid of a black fog?" Lupin asked in surprise.

"No, I'm just simply blocking the Boggart's telepathic perception." Aiden said.

In fact, the moment he stepped into the lounge, Aiden had already noticed that the magical creature in the cabinet seemed to be slowly emitting mental disturbances.

This fluctuation is mild and harmless to the wizard, but it will rebound if it touches other minds.

In this way, the Boggart can harvest the strongest emotion of any living being - fear - from the returning waves.

Aiden, who sensed the mental fluctuations, directly smoothed them out, causing the Boggart to be unable to read the fear of any of the young wizards present.

"Well, teaching still needs to continue, so please cooperate." Professor Lupin didn't know what to say.

"Of course, as you wish." Aiden released his control over the Boggart.

Because he himself was very curious about what his fear was.

As the Boggart's vibrations reached Aiden's mind, Aiden allowed his own mind to ripple.

The Boggart, having read the emotions, began to transform, and a string of fluorescent words appeared in the air.

"Urer, what is this?" Edmund asked from the crowd behind.

“Ould, goddess of fate, represents the weaving and irreversibility of individual destiny.”

Professor Lupin was obviously very knowledgeable, and he looked at Aiden with complicated eyes.

"Son, are you a prophet?" he inquired.

"No." Aiden answered in the negative, but his eyebrows were lowered, and it was unknown what he was thinking.

Then Aiden raised his wand, "Funny funny."

Powerful magic hit the Boggart, and the fonts in the air distorted.

A huge Perthro (?) rune appeared in the air.

Yes, Aiden today already has the inner strength to resist fate.

"Excellent spellcasting. Five points for Ravenclaw." Professor Lupin generously gave the points.

Then he turned on the record and invited the little wizards to come up and try it.

"Next, Ethan."

Professor Lupin immediately picked out the person who had just made a move. It seemed that the entire lounge was under his perception.

Ethan goes forward and the Boggart turns into a mummy.

"I didn't expect this guy to be afraid of this." Aiden stroked his chin and smiled wickedly.

"Next," Professor Lupin called out.

..........

The little wizards went up to try one by one, and Boggart turned into all kinds of monsters.

Until Edmund went up and his Boggart transformed, revealing Bellatrix Lestrange.

Lupin's eyes widened and he rushed forward to protect Edmund.

The Boggart sensed Lupin's insertion and turned into a bright moon.

"Funny, funny." Lupin cast a spell on the Boggart.

The bright moon turned into a balloon and flew everywhere.

Lupin then used a spell to open the cabinet and locked the Boggart inside.

"Sorry, I'm sorry, let's stop here for today, everyone put away your textbooks, the get out of class is over." Professor Lupin apologized.

"Ah." The little wizards made frustrated sounds and began to pack up their textbooks.

"Sorry, but you can't let this distract you." Professor Lupin said, and walked up to hand Edmund a piece of chocolate.

"Okay, it's okay, kid." He patted Edmund's shoulder hard.

"Let's go, Edmund." Aiden also stepped forward and dragged Edmund, who was standing there in a daze, away.

That night, the three of them sat at the long table of Ravenclaw and ate the delicious food carefully prepared by the college.

As word of Malfoy's heroic fight against the Hippogriff spread, Edmund stuffed mashed potatoes into his mouth.

"Edmund, are you okay?" Ethan asked.

"Is it because of Bellatrix Lestrange?" Aiden narrowed his eyes.

"Oh, Aiden, don't mention that name." Edmund shuddered and finally responded.

"You seem to be afraid of her?" Aiden raised his eyebrows.

"She is my aunt, the former head of the Lestrange family, a lunatic." Edmund lowered his voice.

"Isn't it just following Voldemort? Is that so serious?" Aiden said casually.

"No, you don't know. The mysterious man held a grand ceremony back then, and we were the first victims of this ceremony during the experimental phase." Edmund revealed the secret.

"What do you mean? Tell me in detail?" Ethan started gossiping.

"Back then, the mysterious man used our family's channels to spread his ideas and gather followers. His power once reached its peak."

Edmund spoke in a low voice.

"Soon, he became dissatisfied with the fact that his name could be used arbitrarily, and he was also afraid that someone would curse him by using his name.

So he began to spread fear, using fear to build consensus and hold a mysterious magical ceremony.

This automatically included all those who knew his name and feared him in the ritual, and the first people to be collected with fear were our Lestrange family. "

Edmund took a deep breath, grabbed the sickly sweet black tea, drank it all in one gulp, and then let out a long exhale.

"So, what you mean is." Ethan also realized what Edmund meant.

"Voldemort is still alive," Aiden added to them.
