Harry Potter’s Natural Villain

Fear is an emotion. In fact, its status is very similar to pain. It can help human beings avoid dangerous things. Anything that can make people fear, except for instinctive disgust, most cases are caused by feared things. There are bad memories and trauma, both mentally and physically. August 1? Chinese ??? (i)

Malfoy is not in favor of using Boggart to fight fear.

For example, Neville was very afraid of Snape. No matter how hateful Snape was, his position at Hogwarts was still a teacher, and they could laugh at Boggart's vision no matter how ugly it was.

Because even if Snape himself was really here, he would at most reprimand them and deduct points from them.

What if it was Voldemort?

Even though he was wearing a long, lace-embroidered women's dress, a tall hat with a moth-eaten stuffed eagle on top, and a huge scarlet handbag dangling in his hand, dressed as Like Grandma Neville.

So what?

No matter how his image changed, he was still the Dark Lord who could make people feel terrified by the mention of his name.

Take ten thousand steps back and say that if you have practiced your courage in front of fakes, who can be calm in front of real people?

Fear can sometimes affect a person's will, but it can also make people more cautious.

Fear and awe are not necessarily a bad thing.

Of course, in a situation like Neville's and the fear caused by Ron's childhood shadow, using Boggart is still very effective, and there will be no worries.

As he thought, he watched the students leave their seats one by one and come back.

The students' fears are indeed all sorts of things, vipers (this is a Slytherin student right?), giant spiders, mummies wrapped in bandages, some of their parents, and in front of Crabbe and Goyle are The final exam papers from last semester appeared, which filled the class with laughter again. Even Lupin rubbed his chin and joked: It seems that the exam questions from the previous year were indeed a bit difficult, but this year I will give Professor Dumbledore my advice and let him control the difficulty.

There was another round of applause from the podium.

Draco, it's your turn. A tall and thin boy walked up to Malfoy and said with a smug smile. Just now, he turned a female ghost into a tired beetle and won a lot of applause.

What do you say Malfoy is most afraid of? the students in other positions began to whisper,

As Slytherin's most prestigious students, they were curious enough to find out what Malfoy feared.

They soon learned that the beetle-shaped Boggart left by the previous student began to grow and float in the air. A black cloak took shape, but it looked a little tattered, with a pair of scabbed palms. His cloak stretched out, and then his carrion-like face.

Dementors! screamed some of the students, who had impressed them enough with the creature on the train.

What they didn't notice was that Lupin's brow furrowed tightly.

Ordinary students can understand the fear of dementors, even Harry is troubled by this, but this student is an exception, but he still remembers how Malfoy used the Patronus Charm against the dementors on the train, which made him He was puzzled, in fact, he was also a little curious about what this student would be afraid of. Hearing Dumbledore say, this may be the best student in the past few years.

Uh... Malfoy stared closely at the dementor-like Boggart in front of him, and then said slowly: Now I realize that these things are not that scary. Then he snapped his fingers. , smiled slightly, and said, It's funny. This Boggart kept the appearance of a dementor and turned into a puff of blue smoke that drifted away in the wind.

The students below were silent for a while, and then applauded loudly. Even the way they dealt with Bogut was different. Compared with other students, Malfoy did not change Bogut into another appearance and then beat him.

This proves that he forcibly overcame his fear on the spot and did not rely on foreign objects.

Professor Lupin, I'm sorry. I'll find a new Boggart before your next class. I didn't seem to be able to control the intensity of the spell just now. Express your apologies.

You don't need to apologize, it proves that you have mastered spells very well, give Slytherin 10 points! Lupin's mouth twitched, he hadn't had such a vivid expression in a long time, his intuition told himself that this The student was not as obedient as he imagined, and he could even assert that the student's performance on stage just now was intentional, which also gave him an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

But even so, Lupin was not angry. After all, he was kind, so it wasn't a big deal. Go back to your seat, Lupin said.

Thank you for your generosity. Malfoy thanked Lupin, stomping past Lupin, unnoticed by most of his students, he paused as Malfoy passed Lupin, Lupin's face immediately flashed pale, and quickly adjusted, as if nothing had been born.

What did you say to Professor Lupin? Pansy asked as soon as Malfoy came down.

Malfoy's eyebrows raised, it was a little strange that Pansy's observation ability had improved a lot, but she didn't answer her directly, just said: I just want to ask him what he is most afraid of, don't you have any idea? Curious?

Really? Pansy looked suspiciously at Lupin on the stage, frowning slightly, and suddenly raised his hand.

This classmate, do you have any problems? Lupin kept smiling, he had sorted out his emotions in a very short time.

Professor Lupin, what would Bogut look like in front of you? Pansy asked directly.

This question is very straightforward. I'm sorry I can't answer it. As a teacher, you should still retain some dignity in front of your students. I will definitely tell you when I leave the office. Lupin rejected this question directly, which made many students Somewhat disappointed. Then he said half-jokingly: If some people prank me and give me gifts in the shape of this, I will definitely be horrified.

Given that Boggart has now been wiped out, you can now read the chapter on Boggart for yourselves and turn in a synopsis for homework on Tuesday.

The official content of this class has ended, let's study for the rest of the time. Then Lupin announced the end of the class smoothly.

I asked him just now and his expression was different the moment you asked him just now. Pansy whispered unconvinced.

After being asked by me, he must have been mentally prepared. It is strange that he will respond if you ask again. Malfoy can only explain this.

Familiar perfunctory again. Pansy grimaced at Malfoy and turned away to read, looking angry again.

After some time, the get out of class bell rang, Pansy and Malfoy began to organize their books and prepare to leave the classroom. When Malfoy was about to step out of the classroom, Pansy's soft voice came from behind.

thanks.

Thanks for what?

You blew up Boggart.

That's because I really didn't control my strength.

You lie to the ghost. Pansy said savagely staring at Malfoy.

Malfoy could only shake his head helplessly. (To be continued.)
