Chapter 324: Boggart in the Closet
Since he successfully earned college points on the first day, Fish became more active in class in the following days.
Unfortunately, this situation did not last long.
It's not that Fish can't earn college points in other classes, but because the little cat is simply not someone who can persevere.
So after two or three days of being a "good student", Feishi became more mature and began to fall asleep in most classes again...
This made Professor McGonagall and Hermione, who had only been happy for two days, very sorry.
Soon, Fisch and the others ushered in the first Defense Against the Dark Arts class of the semester. According to the feedback from students who had already taken this class, Professor Lu Ping seemed to have done a pretty good job, no better than the professor who took the class last year. Professor Liwei arrived at a bad time.
So everyone came to the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom and sat down with anticipation. Even Fish didn't sleep, but sat obediently in his seat, waiting for Lupine's arrival.
Just as everyone was whispering, Lupine walked in with a faint smile, looking much better than when he was on the train.
"Hello everyone," Lu Ping put the tattered box in his hand on the podium and said to everyone: "Please put your textbooks back in your bags. Today is a practical class. You only need your wand."
Everyone immediately let out a low cheer. They had heard similar words from Professor Flitwick last year. The content of each practical class was very interesting. This was also the main reason why Professor Flitwick was so well received last year...
Well, except for the practical lesson where Lockhart released the elf.
Everyone put away their textbooks in a hurry and looked expectantly at Professor Lu Ping on the podium.
"Okay, come with me."
Professor Lu Ping led everyone outside the classroom without further delay.
Now everyone was even more interested. Before, whether it was Professor Flitwick's popular practical class or Lockhart's joke-like practical class, they were only conducted in the classroom. It was the first time to go out directly. Seen once.
Everyone followed Professor Lupin through the empty corridor, and at the corner they met Peeves stuffing gum into the keyhole of the utility room.
"Peeves, hello meow!"
(●ΦωΦ●)
Fish waved at him.
"I'm not okay at all!"
Peeves had suffered too much from Kitty. When he saw Fish was there, he dropped the prank without hesitation, made a face at everyone, and then seemed to run away. The ground went into the ceiling and disappeared.
Seeing Peeves's skillful movements, Professor Lupine showed a sympathetic smile on his face...even though he didn't know what Peeves had suffered at the hands of Fish.
"Well, here, I will teach you a very useful little spell first." After getting rid of the strange sense of identification, Lupine took out his wand and said to everyone: "Pay attention."
He pointed his wand at the blocked keyhole and recited the incantation: "Wadi Wasi."
The chewing gum stuffed inside immediately flew out of the keyhole like a bullet and stuck to the opposite wall with a snap.
Immediately afterwards, Professor Lupine cleaned up the piece of chewing gum again with a cleaning tool, then put away his wand and led everyone to continue walking forward, finally stopping outside the door of the staff lounge.
"go in."
Professor Lupine opened the door and took a step back to let everyone go first.
"Severus, you're meowing too."
(●ΦωΦ●)
As soon as he entered the staff room, Fish saw Professor Snape sitting there.
Snape nodded slightly in response, but his cold eyes were staring straight at Lupin from the beginning.
Compared to Snape's hostility, Lupine acted very calmly. He just nodded politely to Snape and then closed the door.
"Okay, everyone, come with me."
After Lu Ping closed the door, he called everyone to an old wardrobe. The wardrobe suddenly shook and made a banging sound.
"Don't worry," Professor Lupine said calmly when he saw several classmates jumping back in shock, "There is a Boggart inside."
Then most people seemed more worried, especially Neville, who was trying hard to hide his fat body behind the dark and thin Dean Thomas.
Snape, who was sitting in a low armchair, watched this scene and let out a sarcastic chuckle.
"Remus, what is a Boggart?"
ω
Fish tilted his head and asked curiously.
He could sense the creatures in the closet, but there was no sign of being able to communicate with them. It was as if this guy, like most insects and fish, was mentally deficient.
Professor Lupine smiled slightly and asked the question to others.
"So, can anyone explain to Fish what a boggart is?"
Whenever there was a situation that required answering a question, Hermione was naturally indispensable. She raised her hands high and answered the questions of Professor Lupine and Fish perfectly.
"So awesome, meow!"
△
The little cat suddenly exclaimed.
Of course what he was amazed about was not that Hermione answered Professor Lupin's question correctly, but that the Boggart's ability to turn into something that others were afraid of made the kitten very interested...
If you can learn it, you can use it to scare Professor McGonagall when you challenge her in the future!
So the little cat asked very actively, trying to figure out how the Boggart did it.
"How did he know that Feishu was afraid of Meowth? Feishu himself didn't even know Meowth."
"This is the Boggart's innate ability. He can read the image or scene you fear most in your heart, and then reproduce it."
Professor Lupine's answer disappointed Fish.
However, he did not know what the little cat was thinking, and continued to explain: "If you are good at Occlumency, then the Boggart's ability will be ineffective against you, but Occlumency is still too advanced for you. So what we are going to learn today is another simpler method..."
After teaching the students in detail how to repel Boggarts and the spells to use, Professor Lupine scanned the crowd and locked his eyes on Neville, who was huddled behind Dean.
"Now, we need someone to set an example for everyone." Professor Luping named him: "Neville, it's up to you now."
Neville resisted, not wanting to be the first to deal with the Boggart. He quickly cast a look for help at the people around him, and everyone avoided his sight because no one wanted to be scared in front of everyone. You have to piss your ass off.
Only the audacious Fish raised his hands and waved at Professor Lupin.
"Remus, send Fish here! Fish wants to know what he's afraid of!"
(●ω●)
However, Professor Lupine ignored the kitty's volunteering and just looked at Neville who was dawdling with a smile...
Just kidding, if Fish was stimulated by Boggart and turned into that big white tiger again, would he still be alive?
Seeing that Professor Lupine was determined to take the lead, Neville had no choice but to go to the closet, trembling as if he was about to go to the execution ground.
"Hmph! Why doesn't Meow let Fei Xu play first?"
(〃`3〃)
The little kitten pouted in displeasure, crossed her arms, and said angrily.
Hermione guessed what Professor Lupin was thinking, but she couldn't say this to Fish, so she could only comfort her in a low voice: "Maybe Professor Lupin thought that the Boggart would choose to become less so because he was close to you. Scary stuff? Anyway, let’s take a look at Neville’s situation.”
Fish flicked his tail irritably and reluctantly accepted this statement.
"Very good, Neville." Professor Lupine, who heard Hermione's voice, glanced at her gratefully, then turned to Neville and said, "Let me talk about the most important thing first: tell me, what are you most afraid of in this world? ?”
Neville shuddered, and then subconsciously glanced at Professor Snape sitting in the distance.
"snort!"
Snape, who knew what would happen when dealing with Boggarts correctly, instantly became more gloomy. He snorted, stared at Neville fiercely, stood up and walked over.
Neville, who was already extremely frightened, saw Snape walking towards him with a gloomy face. He started shaking even more violently. His face was pale and he seemed likely to faint at any time.
"All right……"
Professor Lupine sighed helplessly and stood between Snape and Neville. Although he could also let Neville continue, if he provoked Snape like this, Neville's life would not be easy. So he could only temporarily stop trying to help Neville find courage.
"Then let's switch to another classmate." He asked the relieved Neville to return to the crowd, then looked at the other students and asked, "Is there anyone else who wants to try?"
"Fei Xu! Choose Fei Xu, meow!"
(●ω●)
The little kitten waved her hands again and was ignored by Professor Lupin again.
"Fish is starting to hate Lupin again, meow!"
(●Benefit)
After being ignored twice in a row, Fish's favorable impression of Professor Luping, which had risen due to his accidental injury and his pitiful experience, instantly dropped.
Professor Luping also chose to ignore Maomao's complaints. After looking around, he named him again -
"Can you try it, Hermione?"

Although having Snape dress up as a woman was fun, there was no way Snape could leave when Cat was around.
In addition to caring about Cat, he was also afraid of what if Cat went berserk again and slapped Harry.
