Daily Life at Hogwarts

Chapter 773: Noseless monster

Views:

After Albert opened his mouth, people began to crowd in and form a horizontal line, half surrounding Albert in an arc.

Many people here have no real experience facing Bogut. Fred, George and Lee Jordan are not in the team.

The three of them lived in the same dormitory with Albert and had already practiced with Bogut in advance.

“It’s quite a novel experience.”

Angelina stood at the front of the line, holding a wand in her hand, looking nervously at the box in front of her that was shaking violently.

After Albert opened the box, a letter floated in front of Angelina, grinned and began to speak, which roughly meant that Angelina was not accepted by the Quidditch Club.

"Funny funny."

Angelina waved her wand and crumpled the letter into a ball, which was very satisfying, but obviously not very effective.

"Everyone pay attention."

Albert frowned and reminded, "If you want to defeat Bogut, you must force it to become a ridiculous form in your imagination, so as to eliminate the fear it brings to you. You can first think about what you are afraid of and how to deal with it."

"Okay, next one."

After Angelina stepped back, Alya stepped forward and faced the Boggart.

After a popping sound, the Boggart turned into Arya in a wedding dress.

The corners of Alia's mouth twitched, and she raised her wand and shouted at herself in front of her: "Funny!"

The wedding dress tripped Aaliyah, causing her to fall to the ground in embarrassment.

"Next." Albert called.

Shanna walked past Arya and walked forward. After seeing Arya's Boggart appearance, she suddenly became a little afraid of being seen as a Boggart by others.

This time, the Boggart turned into the corpse of a middle-aged man, lying on the cold ground.

"Funny, funny!"

When Sana saw the corpse, her expression was a little stiff. She raised her wand and pointed it at the middle-aged man's body. The middle-aged man changed into a formal suit, stood up, and bowed slightly to everyone like a gentleman.

"Next."

This time, the practice of dealing with Boggart was very interesting. Everyone was afraid of a variety of things. It was simply a public execution.

Cedric's Boggart is Qiu Zhang. This lovely girl expressed her dislike for him. It seems that in order to further attack Cedric, the Boggart becomes Qiu Zhang and even says in public that she likes Albert.

Katrina was afraid to let Albert know that she liked him.

A whistle immediately sounded in the room.

"You are worthy of your name." Fred and George each put their arms around Albert's shoulders and said, "You are still as popular as ever."

Katrina followed Cedric, her cheeks red as apples.

Ron's Boggart was still a big spider, but he put roller boots on the spider's feet. The poor big guy performed an eight-legged split fall for everyone.

Hermione’s Boggart was also very interesting. It was Professor McGonagall. She held a piece of parchment and told Hermione that she had failed all her exams!

Once again, there was a burst of cheerful laughter.

"Next."

Next up was Harry Potter, who was clearly facing a Boggart this wasn't his first time either.

Albert thought that Harry's Boggart would turn into a Dementor, however, an accident occurred this time. The Boggart actually turned into the appearance of Voldemort. The atmosphere in the room, which was originally full of laughter, suddenly stagnated. Everyone held their breath, fearing that they would be killed by Voldemort in front of them as soon as they breathed.

Just as Voldemort walked towards the crowd and many people were about to scream, an inopportune voice suddenly sounded: "Is this guy the mysterious man? He is so ugly."

Then, everyone heard a clicking sound, and saw that Albert had taken out a camera at some point and was taking pictures of Voldemort from several angles.

Everyone stared in amazement at Albert who was taking pictures of Voldemort. The fear in their hearts was gradually fading away, and was replaced by a desire to complain. They all hoped that this genius could respect the Dark Lord.

To be honest, this was the first time Albert saw what Voldemort looked like. Overall, it was pretty much the same as what he saw in the movie.

Due to the multiple divisions of his soul, Voldemort's facial features became very blurred. Overall, he looked very ugly, so ugly that he looked ugly to the public. It was not an insult to describe him as a noseless monster, because Voldemort did not have a nose at all, but only two flat air holes above his mouth.

"Okay, Harry, it's your turn. Don't be scared, it's just a Boggart." Albert encouraged.

"Funny funny."

Harry made Voldemort wear an Irish skirt and perform tap dance in front of everyone, but no one could laugh. After all, it was Voldemort. Even though they knew it was a Boggart, few people dared to laugh.

The Voldemort incident was just a small accident, but it also cast a shadow over this test. Dealing with the Boggart next time would not be as joyful as before.

Albert put Bodette back into the box and stood in front of everyone to summarize: "A Boggart is a shape-shifting creature that will transform into the thing a person fears the most when facing him."

"When dealing with a Boggart, it is best to go with a group, as this will confuse it, because when facing multiple people at the same time, it must decide which person it should become, so it often changes into something inappropriate in order to scare everyone at the same time."

"However, you will need to face the Boggart alone in the exam, so just think carefully about what you are afraid of and try to defeat it here. This is not difficult." Albert looked around at everyone and continued, "The real difficulty is facing the Boggart without any mental preparation. At that time, you may be confused by what the Boggart has turned into. As long as you recognize it, it is not difficult to solve it."

"Of course, you can't underestimate them because of this. Boggarts can transform into magical creatures or objects, and their abilities can be replicated to a certain extent. Although this replication ability is very weak, you still need to be on guard. Once a Boggart turns into a giant monster and suddenly hits you with a stick, who knows if it will give you a concussion."

"Okay, that's it for today's gathering. We will face Boggart again next time. You need to think about how to overcome and defeat it in advance. With advance preparation, I think it won't be a difficult task." Albert looked around at everyone and continued, "If you can't even overcome this, I can only wish you good luck in the Defense Against the Dark Arts exam."

"Okay, everyone please leave the chamber in an orderly manner." Albert added, "If anyone was frightened by the Boggart just now, you can come to me to get a tranquilizer."

"You are very well prepared," said Sana with a smile.

"Sorry, I didn't expect..." Harry also knew that he had caused trouble just now. The appearance of Voldemort had obviously frightened many students.

"If you want one, I can give you one, but you can't pass it around." Albert smiled and shook the photo in his hand.

"Aren't you scared?" Harry couldn't help asking.

"Not afraid." Albert looked at the girl beside him and asked, "Sannah shouldn't be afraid either."

"I'm not afraid. Although I know what You-Know-Who has done, I have never experienced it and I didn't grow up in the magic world. I'm not as afraid of this name as others." Shanna said honestly, "He's ugly."

"Yes, and there is no nose," Fred joked while holding the photo, "The facial features look like they have been melted. It's simply uglier than ever."

"Harry, I heard that the You-Know-Who was very handsome when he was young." Albert asked.

"Yeah, very handsome."

"Compared to Albert?" George asked curiously.

"Albert is more handsome. That guy looks ugly and ferocious when he gets angry." Harry said in a low voice.

"Ahem, don't judge these things here, go back and rest." Albert coughed lightly, signaling everyone to disperse.

"I didn't expect you would be so thoughtful as to take a picture of it. Can you give me one?" Lee Jordan suddenly wanted to let the whole school see Voldemort's reaction to his appearance. That would surely be very interesting.

"Don't be stupid. I don't want to be put in detention by Professor McGonagall."

"I'm curious, how did the You-Know-Who become like that?" Sana was very shocked, especially since Harry said Voldemort was very handsome when he was young.

"It's probably because he studies black magic," Albert said. "Some black magic is very evil. The mysterious man must have tried it on himself and turned himself into that ghostly figure."

"If I looked like that, I would go crazy." Fred pointed at the man in the photo and said, "Look at his nose. There are only two holes left."
