Chapter 775 Nose Monster
After Albert spoke, people began to crowd and line up horizontally, surrounding Albert in an arc.
There are many people here who have no real experience facing Boggarts. Fred, George and Lee Jordan are not on the team.
The three of them were in the same dormitory as Albert, and they had already practiced with Boggarts in advance.
“This is a quite novel experience.”
Angelina stood at the front of the team, holding a wand in her hand and looking nervously at the shaking box in front of her.
After the box was opened by Albert, a letter floated in front of Angelina. She grinned and started talking. It probably meant that Angelina had not been admitted to the Quidditch Club.
“Funny.”
Angelina waved her wand and crumpled the letter into a ball of paper. It was a great relief, but obviously not very effective.
“Everyone, please pay attention.”
Albert frowned and reminded aloud: "If you want to defeat the Boggart, you must force the Boggart to become a ridiculous form of your own imagination, thereby eliminating the fear it brings to you. You can think about it first. What are you afraid of and how to deal with it?”
“Okay, next one.”
After Angelina stepped back, Aaliya stepped forward to face the boggart.
After a burst of sound, the Boggart turned into Aria wearing a wedding dress.
Aria's mouth twitched, she raised her wand and shouted at herself in front of her: "Funny!"
The long wedding dress tripped Aaliya, causing her to fall to the ground in a panic.
“Next,” Albert called.
Zannah crossed Alia and stepped forward. After seeing Alia's boggart appearance, she was suddenly a little afraid of others seeing her boggart appearance.
This time, the Boggart turned into the corpse of a middle-aged man, lying on the cold ground.
“Funny!”
After seeing the corpse, Shanna's expression became a little stiff. She raised her wand and pointed at the middle-aged man's body. The middle-aged man put on a dress and stood up, bowing slightly to everyone like a gentleman.
"Next."
…
This time, the practice of dealing with Boggarts is very interesting. Everyone is afraid of all kinds of things. It is simply a public execution.
Cedric’s Boggart is Cho Chang. This lovely girl expressed that she doesn’t like him. It seems that in order to further attack Cedric, the Boggart became Cho Chang and actually said that she liked Albert in public.
Katrina is afraid to let Albert know that she likes him.
There was a whistle immediately in the room.
“As expected of you.” Fred and George each put their hands on Albert’s shoulders and said, “You are still as popular as ever.”
Katrina followed Cedric, her cheeks as red as an apple.
Ron's Boggart is still a big spider. He put pulley boots on the spider's feet. The poor big guy directly performed an eight-legged fall on the spot for everyone.
Hermione's Boggart is also very interesting. It is actually Professor McGonagall. She holds a piece of parchment and tells Hermione that she failed all her exams!
Aroused another burst of cheerful laughter.
"Next."
Albert thought that Harry's Boggart would turn into a Dementor. However, something unexpected happened this time. The Boggart turned into Voldemort, which made the atmosphere in the room that was originally full of laughter uncontrollable. stagnant, everyone held their breath, fearing that once they breathed they would be killed by Voldemort in front of them.
Just as Voldemort was walking towards the crowd, and many people were about to scream loudly, an untimely voice suddenly sounded: "Is this guy the mysterious man? He is really ugly."
Then, everyone heard a clicking sound and saw that Albert took a camera and took pictures of Voldemort from several angles.
Everyone stared at Albert, who was taking pictures of Voldemort, dumbfounded. The fear in their hearts was fading away, 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 Voldemort. Overall, it was similar to what he saw in the movie.
Due to the multiple divisions of his soul, Voldemort's facial features have become very blurred. Generally speaking, he is ugly, so ugly that he can't stand up to the public. It is not an insult to describe him as a noseless monster, because Voldemort has no nose at all, he just has one on his mouth. Two flat pores.
"Okay, Harry, it's your turn, don't be frightened, this is just a Boggart." Albert encouraged.
“Funny.”
Harry asked Voldemort to put on an Irish dress and perform a tap dance in front of everyone, but no one could laugh. After all, it was Voldemort, and even if they knew it was a Boggart, few people dared to laugh.
Voldemort's incident was just a small accident, but it also cast a cloud over this test, and dealing with the Boggart would not be as fun as before.
Albert put Boggart back into the box again, stood in front of everyone and concluded: "Boggart is a deformable creature that will turn into the thing he fears most when facing a person."
"When dealing with a boggart, it's best to go in a group, as this will confuse it, because when facing multiple people at the same time, it has to decide which person it fears the most, so it often tries to scare them all at once. Everyone becomes something nondescript.”
"However, you need to face the Boggart alone in the exam, so as long as you think about what you are afraid of, and then try to defeat it here, it is not difficult." Albert looked around at the crowd and continued: "The real difficulty is The best thing is to face 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 turn into magical creatures or objects and can copy their abilities to a certain extent. Although this copying ability is very weak, you still need to be on guard. Once the Boggarts change If you become a giant monster and suddenly give you a stick, God knows whether it will knock you into a concussion."
"Okay, that's it for today's party. We will still face Boggart again next time. You need to think in advance how to overcome and defeat it. With advance preparation, I think this is not a difficult task. Albert looked around at everyone and continued: "If you can't overcome this, I can only wish you good luck in the Defense Against the Dark Arts exam."
"Okay, please leave the secret room in an orderly manner." Albert added, "If anyone was scared by the Boggart just now, you can come to me to get a tranquilizer."
“You are very well prepared.” Shanna said with a smile.
"Sorry, I didn't expect..." Harry also knew that he had just caused trouble. Voldemort's appearance obviously frightened many students.
"If you want it, I can give you one, but you can't spread it around." Albert smiled and shook the photo in his hand.
“Aren’t you scared?” Harry couldn’t help but ask.
"Not afraid." Albert looked at the girl next to him and asked, "Sanna shouldn't be afraid either."
"I'm not afraid. Although I know what the mysterious man has done, I haven't experienced it and I didn't grow up in the magic world. I am not as afraid of this name as others." Shanna said honestly, "He is ugly."
"Yes, and there is no nose," Fred joked, holding the photo, "It feels like the facial features have been melted, and it is simply uglier to a new level."
"Harry, I heard that the mysterious man was very handsome when he was young." Albert asked.
“Well, he’s very handsome.”
“Compared with Albert?” George asked curiously.
“Albert is more handsome, but that guy looks ugly and ferocious when he’s angry.” Harry lowered his voice.
"Ahem, don't judge these things here, go back and rest." Albert coughed lightly and signaled everyone to disperse.
“I didn’t expect that you would actually have the heart to take a picture of it. Can you give me one?” Lee Jordan suddenly wanted to show the reaction of the whole school to see what Voldemort looked like. That would definitely be interesting.
“Don’t seek death, I don’t want to be sent to solitary confinement by Professor McGonagall.”
"I'm very curious about how the mysterious man turned into that ghostly appearance." Zannah was very shocked, especially when Harry said that Voldemort was very handsome when he was young.
“It’s probably related to the study of black magic.” Albert said, “Black magic is very evil, and the mysterious person probably tried it on himself before turning himself into that human-like ghost.”
"If I look like that, I will definitely go crazy." Fred pointed at the person in the photo and said, "Look at his nose, there are only two holes left."
