Harry Potter’s Book of Sin

Then what I want to tell you next is that the Boggart sitting in the dark in the closet has not yet manifested any form. It doesn't know what can scare the people outside the door...no one Don’t know what a Boggart looks like when it’s alone, but as soon as I let it out, it instantly becomes the worst fear for any of us.”

This means, says Professor Luhu, that we have a huge advantage over Boggarts before the actual practice begins...does anyone know where the advantage lies?

I think...it's because there are too many people here, said a student.

Yes, that's right! Lupine laughed. The best way to deal with a Boggart is to have more people, so it gets confused. Because it doesn't know what to do.

The spell to repel a Boggart is very simple, but it takes willpower. You know, what really scares a Boggart is laughter! All you have to do is force it into what you think is ridiculous.

Let's say the spell without the wand first. Please tell me... funny funny!

Maca is clearly unimpressed by this, and in fact, boggarts are mostly harmless. Even if the other party becomes what you fear most, it will not cause corresponding harm to you-they will just scare you with bluff.

Okay, said Professor Lupine, very well. But that's the easy part. You know, the incantation isn't enough...

Lupine made everyone line up and go up one by one to deal with the Boggart in the closet.

In this regard, the course content chosen by Lupine is undoubtedly much better than that of Hagrid. Boggarts, while scary to look at, are harmless and a good first class lesson.

Everyone seemed very happy. After all, such an interesting class is really rare.

Of course, it is unavoidable that occasionally some students will be frightened and faint, but at least so far no one has had this situation.

Soon, it will be Maca's turn.

...Oh, yes! Very good! Lupine praised loudly, and then continued, Then, next!

Maca stepped forward, facing the Boggart, who had previously been transformed into a snow monster in a Christmas costume, and waited silently.

He was also very curious about how Boggart would react when he faced him.

The next moment, the yeti twisted and spun, making a crackling and popping sound—a sign that the boggart was about to transform.

But the crackling sound continued, it rotated very fast, but it just didn't complete the transformation.

Puzzled looks appeared on everyone's faces, and Professor Lupine also looked at the Boggart suspiciously, not knowing what it was doing.

You know, people have fears, no matter how small, Boggarts will notice and transform themselves into what the other party fears.

So Lupine didn't think about anything else at all, he just thought that something was wrong with this Boggart.

But Maca knew this situation clearly. He looked at the Boggart twisting and spinning in mid-air, and seeing that it didn't seem to stop, he couldn't help stretching out his wand.

Originally, Maca wanted to use a freezing spell, but after thinking about it for a while, he gave up.

Funny funny.

Maca turned the spinning boggart into a big ball of wool, bounced on the ground a few times, and rolled to the side.

Maybe it's because I'm more afraid of dizziness. It wants to make me dizzy by spinning around. Maca explained dryly.

Hmm... Lupine spread his hands, Oh, well... Maybe that's right.

The other students were wondering, and when they heard Maca's reason, they couldn't help laughing.

Overall, the class was a great success. If possible, everyone hopes that Professor Lupine can break the curse of Defense Against the Dark Arts professors can only serve for one year\

,"Always stay.

Students love his Defense Against the Dark Arts classes.

Perhaps it was only Draco Malfoy and his fellow Slytherins who were speaking ill of Professor Lupine.

Look at his robes, Malfoy would exclaim as Professor Lupine walked by, he's dressed like our house-elf.

But no one except them cared that Professor Lupine's robes were patched and frayed.

His subsequent lectures were as lively and interesting as the first one.

After the Boggarts, they worked on redcaps, the unpleasant little monsters that lurked wherever someone bled. In the keep, in the potholes of deserted battlegrounds, they wait to lash out at those who get lost.

Then, the content of the class changed from the red hat to Kabbah.

It is a crawling aquatic creature that looks like a scaly monkey, with webbed hands, busy strangling the waders who walk in their ponds.

Everyone looks forward to each class very much. It has been a long time since Defense Against the Dark Arts class has brought this feeling to everyone.

It's just that compared with Defense Against the Dark Arts class, Hagrid's Protection of Magical Creatures class looks terrible.

After the action-packed first lesson, the class gets pretty dull.

Although Maca made a good start for Hagrid, the rumors spread by Malfoy made Hagrid lose confidence. Now they learn how to take care of Flobber caterpillars in lesson after lesson, often shoving shredded lettuce down the sticky throats of Flobber caterpillars in class...

In the eyes of the students, they must be the most annoying creatures in existence.

There's nothing Maca can do about it.

Although he didn't mind being a teaching assistant outside the establishment, since Hagrid had lost confidence, he was not the kind of person who insisted on stepping up to help.

What's more, he has a lot of things to do!

For example, tonight, he still has time to go to Hogsmeade village to get something from his partner, Tyrande.

Hogsmeade village is always covered in white because it is above the snow line all the year round. Maca has long been used to this.

But the recent Hogsmeade is a little different from usual - there are dementors who are searching everywhere, and most wizards seldom go out.

The incident of Sirius Black's prison escape did cause a lot of trouble. After all, since Azkaban was operated as a wizard prison, there has never been a prisoner escaped from prison!

Maca was walking alone in the dark village of Hogsmeade. After a while, he would pass by one or two dementors, but they all ignored Maca's existence without exception.

As it turns out, they really couldn't detect maca.

And Maca didn't have time to pay attention to those monsters, he hurriedly bypassed those tall and thin guys, and quickly came to the back door of an inconspicuous shop in a certain alley.

Boom boom.

Maca knocked lightly on the wooden door, the sound was especially abrupt in the silent night.

Soon, the door was opened a crack from the inside, and a bandaged face appeared behind the door.

Oh, it's you... Come in quickly. Tyrande opened the wooden door halfway, beckoning and hastily said.

Maca walked in sideways, and the door was quickly closed again with a creak.

It's really terrible! Those damn...cough cough...damn dementors! Tyrande said angrily, Business...cough cough...they are all driven away!

So I'm here to bring you some good things. Under Maca's disguise, the file-like voice still made people want to scratch their ears.

He took out a small bottle and placed it on the table in front of Tyrande.

This is a gadget that has a similar effect to the Patronus Charm. Although the effect is much worse than that of the Patronus Charm, after all, anyone can use it...

How... ahem... how to use it? Tyrande picked up the small bottle and looked at it, and it seemed that there was a milky white floc in it, glowing with a faint brilliance.

Just pull out the cork. Maca explained, It will emit a burst of white light, blocking the dementors from the outside, and the effective duration is about one minute.

Oh! This is really a...ahem...a good thing. Tyrande looked very happy, How many of these things are there?

Unfortunately, not much. Maca spread his hands, At least don't expect it to be mass-produced...but the price can be higher, isn't it?

Cough cough... yes, I think... cough cough, yes! Tyrande kept nodding his head and said, Oh, yes... cough cough... your stuff is ready.

He stood up, removed a flat box from the shelf behind him, and placed it in front of Maca.

Maca gently opened the box and took out the contents.

It was a dark outfit, from dress to trousers, to a long hooded cloak, and even a pair of boots and gloves.

They all look delicate, they seem to be black at first glance, but if you look closely, you will find a faint dark green in them. And just on their surface, there seem to be fine scales, which reminds people of the skin of a snake.

That's right, this is a good thing that Tyrande asked a craftsman to order using the snake skin that Maca took a lot of effort to peel off from the basilisk as the raw material.

In addition, there are still a lot of materials left on the basilisk, enough for Maca to slowly arm himself.

Especially the basilisk horn, Maca plans to handle it by himself. If nothing else, a powerful self-made magic wand will become one of his powerful aids in the future.

After finishing what he wanted to do, Maca sat with Tyrande for a while, and after learning about the recent rumors, large and small, he got up and left.

But what he didn't expect was that in the village of Hogsmeade full of dementors, Sirius Black was boldly running around in the form of an Animagus.

...I really have a big heart.

Just when Maca walked out of the back door of Tyrande's shop, he caught a glimpse of a certain black dog flashing past in the depths of the alley.
