Harry Potter’s Raven’s Claw

Chapter 229 Boggart in the closet

Mike directed Buckbeak to fly around the field several times, until the sky gradually darkened before he landed in front of Harry, Hermione and others again.

"Brother you are so cool!"

"Mike, it's too dangerous for you to do this!"

Before Mike jumped off the back of the beast, Hermione and Ron spoke first. Their reactions were completely different. Ron was obviously very excited, while Hermione was frowning tightly, looking angry.

Mike directly ignored Ron and walked quickly to Hermione: "I'm sorry for worrying you. It's just that I can't help it, Buckbeak is so handsome!"

McDonnell's words made Hermione blushed, stomped her feet and said, "Who cares about you! Humph!"

After saying that, he turned and walked towards the castle.

The temperature at Hogwarts in September is not high, the temperature during the day is only a dozen degrees, and now the temperature has dropped to about ten degrees after the sun has set.

Mike looked at Hermione who was walking in front of her in thin clothes and raised her wand with a flash of light to cast a heat preservation spell on her.

Hermione only felt that her originally cold body suddenly warmed up. She turned her head and saw Mike behind her smiling at her. Her face turned even redder, and her footsteps became a little faster.

Mike didn't care about Hermione's performance and hurriedly followed.

Harry and Ron, who stayed where they were, looked confused.

"Mike, doesn't he have Senior Sister Penello?" Ron asked Harry, "Why are you still thinking of going to pick Hermione?"

Harry tightened his clothes and followed, and said at the same time, "You think too much, Mike is just afraid that Hermione will freeze."

"Tsk, then why doesn't he give us a heat preservation spell?"

Ron murmured in a low voice, and hurriedly followed after seeing that everyone had gone all the way.

...

After arriving at the castle, everyone separated. Harry wanted to continue chatting with everyone, but Hermione had to do homework and Mike had to train, so he had no choice but to play wizard chess with Ron.

After separating from Harry and others, Mike did not go to Lupin's office again due to time reasons, but went directly to the Response Room to start practicing the Patronus Charm.

Now he must go all out to practice the Patronus Charm as early as possible.

Fortunately, Professor Lupin has already pointed the way for him, so Mike only needs to devote himself to practicing now. As for when he can completely master the Patronus Charm, it will depend on the heavens.

Time passed slowly, and the news that Draco was injured by Buckbeak spread in just two days.

Now the entire Hogwarts students are doubting Hagrid's abilities.

And worst of all, Hagrid was so frightened after that happened that he now only dared to bring some completely harmless creatures to class, like the Flobber caterpillar.

No matter how much you think about the Flobber caterpillar, the creature that resembles an ordinary caterpillar will not please the little wizards.

As a result, Hagrid, a professor of magical biology, became a representative of incompetence.

On Draco's side, he had been in the infirmary for the past two days after the injury. Mike's old friend, Soraka, who had a special fascination with human internal organs, had told Mike about Draco's situation.

According to her, Draco's injuries were not serious, and Madam Pomfrey healed him in ten minutes.

But he stayed in the infirmary and ordered his two valet to spread the news that he was seriously injured.

Overall, the current situation is not good for Hagrid, but what does this have to do with Mike?

In fact, Mike was whistling happily at the moment, following the large group to the classroom of Defense Against the Dark Arts class to prepare for his first Defense Against the Dark Arts class this year.

After thinking hard for two days, Lupin finally thought of the content of the class, but when Mike asked him about the content, Lupin still put it on, and told Mike proudly that he would know when the time came.

Mike laughed involuntarily when he thought of Lupin's expression at that time,

Lupin definitely didn't know that he was facing a transmigrator who had read the original book, and the other party knew exactly what his class was about.

"Why are you in such a good mood today?"

Hearing Franklin's voice, Mike slightly restrained his smile and said, "I think of happy things."

"Oh? What's so happy..."

Before Franklin's words were finished, a girl's exclamation came from the classroom not far away.

Mike and Franklin stepped forward to check, and saw that the classroom originally filled with desks and chairs was now empty. All the desks and chairs were stacked in the corners, and in the center of the empty classroom was an old old wardrobe.

"Welcome to my class, classmates." Lupin welcomed the students in with great enthusiasm, "Quickly find a position with a good view, and a wonderful scene will be staged later."

Lupin's attitude is neither humble nor arrogant, both kind and gentle.

This immediately won the favor of many people, and even those students who had disliked him for being too poor had a great change in his impression.

After everyone entered the classroom scattered, Lupin first asked everyone to put the books back in their schoolbags, and then walked to the closet in the center of the classroom.

Surprisingly, there seemed to be something living in the old wardrobe, and Lupin shook violently as soon as he got close to its closet door, and there was a dull slap on the door from inside.

The students in the classroom were all taken aback by the movement, and some timid girls even screamed.

"Don't be afraid, classmates." Professor Lupin reassured everyone, "It's just a Boggart locked inside."

As soon as these words came out, the faces of a few students showed relief, but most of the students were still confused.

"Aha! It seems that someone already knows what a Boggart is." Lupin's eyes scanned the crowd, "Mike! Please answer this question, what is a Boggart?"

"Okay, professor." Mike agreed and stepped forward two steps out of the crowd, "Boggart is a shape-shifting monster, and also has the ability to read minds. It can know what you are most afraid of through the ability to read minds. thing, and scare you by morphing into that thing."

"Amazing! Ravenclaw 10!" Lupin applauded. "I'll add that Boggart is very fond of dark and closed environments, so you can often find them in closed cupboards, in sewers."

"It's pretty scary to think about, isn't it? You're repairing broken sewers, and suddenly there's something you're most afraid of in the dark..."

"Come on. Boggart is a very weak creature. It has no way to deal with multiple enemies at once. When it is facing many targets like it is now, it does not know what to become to scare us all. So you'd better go together when dealing with Boggart. For example, I once saw a Boggart trying to scare two people at the same time and turned himself into a half-slug tail. The skull head, that's not scary at all!"

When Lupin said this, everyone in the classroom burst into laughter, but a girl next to Mike said to another girl next to him with a look of horror: "That's quite scary..."

"Okay, that's it for the basic introduction, our lesson today is how to defeat Boggart alone. The method is very simple, you just have to have strong willpower to overcome your fears, and raise your wand and read the magic. Mantra 'Funny'! Come and say it to me!"

"Funny!"

Everyone took out their wands to imitate.

"Okay, then it's up to you. Who comes first!"

Many daring students raised their hands, mostly boys, who wanted to show their bravery in front of girls.

Professor Lupin's eyes swept back and forth, and finally fell on Franklin.

"It's up to you! The kid with the owl on his head over there!"

Franklin walked up with a dignified look. What he didn't know was that Lupin chose him, apart from his bizarre appearance, because he was the only black man in the classroom...it was too conspicuous.

Despite his bravery at first, Franklin felt a little nervous when he stood by Lupin's side.

"Don't be nervous, let's go!"

Franklin took a deep breath and went to the closet.

Everyone in the room held their breath, and everyone was expecting Bogut to appear.

One second, two seconds...

Time is running out little by little, and everyone's patience is also being consumed little by little.

Standing in front of the closet, Franklin breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that something was wrong with Boggart. But just as he was about to question Lupin, the wardrobe suddenly opened.

I saw a thin man wearing a brown-black top hat, a red and green horizontal striped sweater, and a severely burned face jumping out of the closet laughing.

Franklin's pupils shrank sharply, his eyes swept around the thin man's body, and finally landed on his right hand.

To be precise, it should be a claw, a sharp iron claw made of metal, with a little blood and minced meat sticking to it...

"what!"

Franklin screamed, his voice distorted with fright, becoming more shrill, somewhat like a girl's voice.

Mike in the crowd recognized the thin man at a glance, the demon in the dream, the ghost king Freddy. From the movie Elm Street.

Mike smiled and shook his head. He had already guessed the general situation. Franklin must have watched too many horror movies during the summer vacation.

"Calm down! Franklin!" Lupin shouted aside, "try to think of him as the most ridiculous outfit you think!"

Franklin didn't listen to what he said at all. Freddy, who could kill in his sleep, is a nightmare common to a generation of American children.

Franklin shuddered and turned to Mike, hoping that his friend could help him as before.

However, Mike just smiled and nodded at him.

I don't know why, when Franklin saw this scene, he suddenly felt that his power had returned. Then he gritted his teeth and raised his wand.

"Funny!"

The spell took effect quickly, and the appearance of the ghost king Freddy was rapidly changing.

His complexion became extremely dark, and at the same time his body swelled into a big fat man, and the clothes on his body became bright clothes that black people liked very much, but others looked very tacky. His lips were smeared with bright red lipstick, and the paw of his right hand became a pink hair dryer.

Everyone in the classroom was stunned, and then there was an amazing burst of laughter.

In the midst of this laughter, Boggart retreated steadily, and finally returned to the closet.

"Well done, Ravenclaw plus ten!"

With Lupin's approval, the frightened Franklin also had a smile on his face.

"Then next one, Mike?"

Lupin asked Mike in a questioning tone, and Mike walked to the closet without saying a word.

There has been speculation about Bogut Mac.

The main ability of this creature is not actually deformation, but mind reading.

So in theory, Occlumency can overcome it!

Mike's eyes began to become cold, and the closed state of his brain was turned on.

One minute, five minutes...

Boggart in the closet refused to come out for a long time, and everyone in the classroom had long been impatient and began to whisper.

There was also a smile on Mike's face, and his guess was successful.

Followed by further experiments, in the original Harry once turned Boggart into a Dementor to practice the Patronus Charm, which proved that Boggart could be misled.

Thinking like this, Mike started to hypnotize himself.

The next moment, the wardrobe door suddenly opened, and a mini version of the fire dragon emerged from the wardrobe.

"Wow! Mike is afraid of fire dragons!?"

The classmates were talking excitedly. Mike was a star student at Hogwarts, and most of the school liked to listen to his gossip.

"Funny."

Mike, who verified his conjecture, did not hesitate at all, and directly turned the fire dragon into a gecko. Such a large deformation made Lupin's eyebrows pick up unexpectedly, and finally gave Mike another 5 points before letting him go. .

And this little episode did not delay the progress of the class. During the whole class, everyone completed the course against Boggart. Some people were afraid of strange things. Mike even saw a classmate who was afraid of butterflies.

After class, Professor Lupin moved the closet back to the storage room. It was really inconvenient to fight against the blogger in the classroom. Mike thought he would change the location of the class in the next class.

...

That night, Mike, who was invisible, silently came to the storage room where the wardrobe was stored.

For a person who has read the original book, Mike is still very curious about the creature like Boggart, so he ran over late at night just to know what he was most afraid of.

And the reason why he hides what he is afraid of during the day is because Mike is afraid that letting others see what he is afraid of will cause him trouble.

What is Mike afraid of?

In fact, he had already guessed in his heart that it was either Voldemort or Dumbledore. Even Dumbledore is more likely. After all, Mike has seen Dumbledore shoot with his own eyes, and that power is really terrifying.

If Boggart becomes Dumbledore in plain sight...

What will others think? What would Dumbledore think?

While Dumbledore is likely to laugh it off, Mike will do everything in his power to avoid surprises.

Mike in the dark removed the Disillusionment Charm and Occlumency, and completely let go of his mind.

The next moment, the wardrobe in the dark suddenly opened.

A girl in a princess dress with long blond hair that shone like gold walked out barefoot.

The girl is very cute, and her bare feet are also very attractive. If you want to score, Mike will give her a full score without hesitation!

However, at this moment, Mike opened his mouth wide in horror in the face of such a beauty.

Because... this girl's face is very similar to Mike's...

This turned out to be the female version of Mike!

"WTF!?"
