Chapter 171 John’s Fear
"Puff-"
Draco knelt directly on the ground.
As his body continued to twitch, tears poured out like a bursting dam.
"Funny!"
Lupine finally took action.
A noise like the cracking of a whip suddenly sounded in the air.
Then Lucius stumbled, and his originally gorgeous dress turned into a cow one-piece pajamas with black and white spots and a cute hood, and his serious and proud expression turned into a crooked smile.
He raised his throat and said in a disgusting voice:
"Draco, Daddy loves you!"
John lives in Bengbu.
The Slytherins around him laughed even more when they saw this.
Amidst the laughter, Draco's expression became more desperate.
Lupine forced the Boggart back into the closet, then helped Draco up and said:
"Are you okay, Mr. Malfoy?"
Draco looked at Lupine with a pair of dead eyes, which made Lupine even more embarrassed.
He coughed twice, then handed Draco to Pansy and said:
"It's okay, Mr. Malfoy just needs to take a moment."
Seeing Pansy helping Draco to sit down in the corner, Lupine said again:
"Okay, it was an accident just now. Does anyone else want to give it a try?"
No one responded at all.
Obviously, what happened to Draco just now frightened everyone.
That's not to say Boggarts are really that scary.
But no one wanted to die like Draco.
After all, it's fun to watch other people die, but if it were you, you wouldn't be able to laugh.
Lupine sighed and searched the crowd, finally landing on Alice.
This girl was the only one who didn't laugh just now.
"This lady, yes, it's you." Lu Ping tried his best to put on a kind smile and said, "Please come up and give it a try. It's not scary at all."
Alice subconsciously wanted to refuse, but she caught a glimpse of John smiling at her from the corner of her eye.
This made it impossible for her to say any words of rejection.
Having no other choice, she walked stiffly to Lupine.
"Don't be nervous, kid. You only need to remember two things. One is to concentrate and try to imagine a funny scene, and then put it on something you find scary. The other is to wave the wand and say Make a spell—funny!”
Lupine opened his mouth wide, trying hard to induce Alice to pronounce 'Funny' too, but Alice remained silent.
Sighing, Lupine could only let Alice walk to the closet.
With a flick of his wand, the closet door opened.
But what was revealed inside was not some terrifying monster, but a glass of red wine.
A glass of red wine in a regular glass goblet.
The wine inside was exceptionally bright, just like fresh blood.
Everyone present looked bewildered and couldn't understand what was so scary about a glass of red wine.
When Alice saw this, her whole body trembled violently, and then she froze as if she had been petrified.
That was freezing in the true sense of the word.
The kind that doesn't even blink.
"Oh! Merlin on top!"
Lupine wailed and locked the cabinet door again, and asked someone to help Alice sit down in the corner.
These two consecutive failures have made him a little desperate.
Look at the students he met today.
Either Draco is so arrogant that he is not willing to listen to any of his teachings, or Alice doesn't give him any reaction, like a wooden person!
Lupine even had some doubts that there were no normal people in Slytherin!
No, not right!
Normal people should still have it!
Thinking this, Lupine looked at John and said loudly:
"Mr. Shafiq, please come forward!"
John responded and walked out slowly.
The Slytherins who were still whispering and discussing Draco and Alice's performance also fell silent at this moment.
Seeing this, Lupine's eyes became eager.
Now John was his only hope.
If John fails again and gives him some tricks, then his class will be a complete failure.
But how is this possible?
John is a famous student throughout Hogwarts!
His talents in all aspects are extremely outstanding!
"John, I won't say much to you, I believe you!"
Lupine patted John's shoulder and spoke seriously.
Hearing this, John nodded and stood in front of the closet expressionlessly.
Boggart actually has no effect on John, who has mastered [Occlumency].
As long as the brain is shielded, the Boggart can only transform at will.
But this time, John turned off [Occlumency].
Because he was also curious about what he feared most in his heart.
"Are you ready? Now, start!"
"Snapped--"
With a burst of sparks, the wardrobe was opened.
However, it was just pitch black inside, as if nothing existed.
After a long time, two figures slowly emerged from the darkness.
One of them is a dwarf wearing a classical dress and a strange mask.
The other one is a pure human figure with an illusory figure that makes it impossible to see the face.
No one at the scene understood what these two figures represented.
But John knew it very well.
That's Mysterio and Michelle!
The mysterious guest was still holding a shining golden chain in his hand.
He looked at John for a while, then tilted his head, tied the locks on Michelle, and slowly tightened them.
Following his movements, the shadow representing Michelle began to wail silently.
"Funny! Funny! Funny!"
John ignored Lupine's yelling.
The purpose of Lupine's Defense Against the Dark Arts class is not only to teach students how to deal with Boggarts, but also to let students understand the importance of courage and understand that if they want to overcome fear, they must have the courage to face it. The things you fear!
Both Draco and Alice failed in this regard.
Draco collapsed directly.
Alice chose to lie down.
And John.
His thoughts are more extreme.
Yes, John is indeed very afraid of Mysterio attacking Michelle.
Afraid that Michelle would follow in the footsteps of a nun.
But he's willing to do anything to stop this from happening!
Blood was spreading in John's eyes.
The magic power in John's body seemed to sense John's emotions and began to boil violently.
The next moment, under Lupin's expectant gaze, John finally raised his wand.
then……
"Shen Feng has no shadow!"
"laugh--"
The invisible blade shoots out!
It tore apart the mysterious guest in front of him, smashed the wardrobe into pieces at the same time, and even left a terrifying slash mark on the solid wall.
Lupine looked at the Boggart corpse that was turning into black smoke and gradually dissipating in front of him. He was completely confused.
The Slytherins not far away also fell into silence.
It wasn't until John turned around, revealing his pair of blood-red eyes, that the crowd became commotion.
"what--"
Goyle and Crabbe screamed, "John's out of control again! Get Professor Snape!"
