Chapter 325 No Gaming Experience
Hermione, who was called, glanced at the puffy kitten beside her, and after a moment of hesitation, she stood in front of the clanking wardrobe.
As a good student, she didn't want to go against the professors on such trivial matters, and Hermione, like Fish, couldn't guess what would happen to the Boggart when she faced it, so she herself was also concerned about it. Something quite interesting.
Fish naturally wouldn't get angry at Hermione because of this. Seeing Hermione walking forward, the little cat didn't care about being angry. He curiously looked at the closet with the Boggart closed, wanting to know what would happen next.
"Brave girl!" Lupine praised and asked the previous question again: "What are you most afraid of in this world?"
Hermione frowned and said uncertainly: "Mother when she's angry?"
Below, Fish nodded empathetically and agreed: "Minerva is also scary when she's angry, meow."
Others covered their mouths and let out low laughter, and the originally tense atmosphere suddenly relaxed a lot.
Ron even joked loudly: "Shouldn't it be an assignment that doesn't get full marks?"
This time, everyone laughed even harder, and even Neville had a smile on his face.
Hermione turned around and glared at Ron viciously.
"Okay, everyone, be quiet."
Professor Lu Ping also had a smile on his face and waved his hand to the laughing students.
"It is true that many people don't understand what they are really afraid of," he stopped his smile and said to Hermione seriously: "But you just need to remember that whatever appears in front of you will be fake. , as long as you are mentally prepared, imagine the other party as funny in your mind, and shout out the spell I just taught you, it is a very simple matter to defeat the Boggart."
Hermione pursed her lips, nodded seriously, and raised her wand to her chest.
"I'm counting to three, Hermione," said Professor Lupin, pointing his wand at the wardrobe door handle. "One—two—three—go!"
A stream of sparks shot from the tip of Professor Lupin's wand, hitting the spherical doorknob.
The closet door suddenly opened, and a stern-looking Professor McGonagall walked out.
"Huh? It's Minerva, meow!"
(●≧≦●)
Fish cheered from behind, but Hermione's face suddenly turned pale.
She still remembered that the way to deal with Boggarts was to "imagine the image of her fear into a funny look"...
If I embarrass Professor McGonagall here...
Just thinking about Snape's look that wanted to kill Neville just now, Hermione wished she could die on the spot.
"Hermione Granger!" The Boggart didn't care what Hermione was thinking at this time. It just instinctively reproduced the scene that Hermione was afraid of. "You failed all the exams this semester!"
Hearing that the Boggart-transformed Professor McGonagall actually said such words, the students who had been quiet burst into laughter again. Ron raised his eyebrows around proudly, while Dean and Seamus held their stomachs. Laughing and giving him a thumbs up.
However, the matter was not over yet. Professor McGonagall, who was standing opposite Hermione, continued to say sternly: "So, I will never allow you and F..."
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh-!!!"
Hermione, who had already guessed what "Professor McGonagall" was going to say next, let out an amazing scream, completely covering up the other person's voice.
"Meow!"
(●≧Д≦●)
This scream was really scary, abruptly interrupting everyone's laughter, and the kitten with sensitive hearing even covered the cat ears on the top of her head.
Even the Boggart seemed startled by Hermione's scream and froze.
However, the Boggart's intelligence did not allow it to think too complexly, so it quickly continued to follow its instincts and opened its mouth to continue talking.
"Shut up, shut up ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhing"
Hermione didn't have time to think too much at this time, she raised her wand and shouted the spell taught by Professor Lupine before.
Then everyone heard a crisp sound, and Professor McGonagall, who was transformed by the Boggart, staggered back a few steps as if he had been slapped by an invisible man. Then, brown hair grew on his body, and around his head. It even grew a thick mane.
"Ouch——"
"Professor McGonagall" who became a lion-man seemed to have lost the ability to speak and could only make low roars.
"Meowhahahahaha...it's Minerva the lion, meow!"
(●≧≦●)
Seeing Professor McGonagall's appearance again, Fish suddenly laughed wildly.
"Hermione! Well done, meow!"
Although she was so praised by Fish, Hermione Granger was heartbroken at this time and felt that her future was dark.
Professor Lupine looked at Hermione, whose eyes had lost their luster, and scratched his head guiltily. Of course he understood why Hermione was like this, but the thing had already happened, and he had nothing to do.
After thinking for a moment, Lupine felt that the best way at the moment was to divert everyone's attention as soon as possible, so he pointed at Parvati Patil who was gloating next to him.
"Parvati, come on!"
After seeing Hermione's unfortunate appearance, Parvati actually refused in her heart, but under the urging of Professor Lupin, she still walked over reluctantly.
Fortunately, when she replaced Hermione, the Boggart just turned into her childhood shadow mummy, and Parvati easily let it trip over its bandages.
Immediately afterwards, Professor Lupin called a few more students forward, and everyone successfully repelled the Boggart.
"Why don't you let Fish play with us!"
(●`Д●)
The little cat who kept waving to be selected but was always ignored by Professor Lupin finally couldn't help it.
Originally, he promised Professor McGonagall that he would try not to cause trouble this year and not lose points, but Lupin was too much!
Fish, who could no longer bear it, didn't wait for him to call the next student, and jumped in front of the Boggart in one step.
Professor Lupin was shocked, grabbed the wand in his hand and quickly retreated, staring at Fish who had already run to the Boggart with a nervous look.
On the other side, Snape also walked over quickly and came to Harry's left. The wand slipped out of his sleeve silently and was held tightly in his hand.
However, the things that worried the two professors did not happen. After meeting Fish, the Boggart seemed to be in chaos and kept switching back and forth between several images.
Sometimes it was a Dementor, sometimes it was Professor McGonagall, and sometimes it was a dirty little tabby cat. There were also several images mixed together, such as Professor McGonagall wearing a black cloak, or a Dementor with cat hair all over his face...
This is what Professor Lupin said before, that the Boggart will appear when he wants to scare multiple people at the same time.
"What's going on?"
Harry whispered to Ron beside him in confusion.
Ron shrugged and guessed, "Could it be that this Boggart doesn't want to scare Fish?"
"That's impossible," Professor Lupin, who was relieved, lowered his wand and explained with a smile, "This change is the instinct of the Boggart, and even they can't control it."
"Then why is it like this now?"
Seamus asked curiously.
After watching the Boggart changing for a while, Fish felt a little bored, so he turned around and looked at Professor Lupin.
"This is because Fish is not particularly afraid of anything, so the Boggart doesn't know what to turn into," Professor Lupin sighed, "I have only seen relevant records in books, and today is the first time I have really seen someone like Fish."
While sighing, he was also glad in his heart that it seemed that what made Fish go berserk was not some memory that frightened him...
But think about it, if Fish was really scared by the Dementor, he would not rush up and beat it so hard that it ran away.
"Ahem, then, let's continue... Next, Dean, it's your turn!"
Dean Thomas stepped forward to replace the depressed Fish, and turned the Boggart into a crawling severed hand.
Ron followed closely, and what he was afraid of was a big hairy spider. When the big spider appeared, Ron's face was just a little ugly, and several girls next to him screamed loudly.
The spider that lost eight legs rolled near Harry. He raised his wand and was about to step forward, but Professor Lupin intercepted the Boggart first and turned the silver-white sphere hanging in the air into a cockroach.
Then he laughed twice, and the cockroach immediately exploded, turning into countless tiny smoke and disappearing.
"Humph..."
Harry heard Snape's sneer in his ears. He turned his head and found that Snape had turned around and left.
After Professor Lupin assigned homework, this lively and interesting Defense Against the Dark Arts class ended. Everyone gathered together excitedly to discuss everything that had just happened in class.
Only three people seemed unhappy, they were Hermione, Harry and Fish.
There was no need to say more about Hermione, she staggered out of the staff room and left alone, no one knew where she ran to.
Harry saw that Professor Lupin deliberately did not let him deal with the Boggart, and felt that he was underestimated.
The reason why Fish was unhappy was...
There was no game experience!

In fact, the Boggart was Professor McGonagall and my former self, and I considered both.
But after repeated consideration, I felt that although painful memories and fearful things are similar, they cannot be confused, otherwise Harry's Boggart would not be a Dementor, but a direct reproduction of the scene when Voldemort killed his parents.
With Fish's thick nerves, I couldn't think of anything that really frightened him, so I wrote it like this in the end.
...
Hermione's Boggart appeared during the final exam of Prisoners. It was Professor McGonagall who said that she failed all the exams, and it really scared Hermione away...┑( ̄Д ̄)┍
...
I just found out that Fish already has a separate circle... Although I don't know what it is for, everyone can go there to punch in or something, and you can enter from Fish's character card.
