The Periodic Table of Words at Hogwarts

Chapter 275 Subconscious Fear

"Okay, classmates, please take out your magic wands and calm down your excitement a little. We are about to officially start class!"

Lupine smiled and pointed to the closet behind him.

"Invite a classmate to guess what is in the closet"?

“Well, no one wants to raise their hand”?

Lu Ping looked at the confused people and thought for a moment, then focused his attention on a girl who just raised her hands.

"Ah, Miss Lovegood, if you are willing to answer the question, please come forward."

"There is a fear monster inside, professor. My dad once caught one. He and I played with the fear monster all night. It is a very interesting creature."

Luna said in that very ethereal voice, causing everyone to laugh.

"What a poor kid, crazy enough to dream up magical creatures."

Next to Astoria, a Slytherin boy said to his friends very mockingly.

"It's not polite to laugh at others. Please don't embarrass purebloods."

Zhang Qi walked over gently, then put his hand on the boy's shoulder, and dug his index and middle fingers into the gap between the collarbones.

"Uh huh"!

The boy who had his tongue and throat choked let out a muffled scream. After Zhang Qi heard the scream, he let go of his hand.

Just teach him a lesson, no need to kill him.

"Well, it's a weird way of expressing it, but it's actually very realistic."

Lupine smiled awkwardly. This was indeed a characteristic of Mr. Lovegood's education for his daughter. Miss Luna really looked like his father.

"What's inside the closet is a dark magical creature called a Boggart. It can transform into your most feared form and continue its own existence by sucking your negative emotions. This is indeed the same thing that was still floating outside the castle two days ago. The Dementors are very similar."

"But thanks to the principal's strong arguments, the Ministry of Magic finally took back these disgusting things."

When Lupine's eyes drifted past Zhang Qi and Astoria, he blinked slightly.

"Well, Miss Lovegood, would you like to set an example for everyone first?"

"of course".

Luna stood in front of the closet generously.

"Wow, I think your courage could even compare to that of a lion".

Lupine praised him sincerely, and then opened the cabinet door.

"Are you ready? Miss Lovegood. Your challenge is coming"!

Something that looked like a ball of black smoke flew out of the closet quickly, and then rushed in front of Luna.

The black smoke-like object kept spinning, seeming to change its shape.

"Snapped"!

With a crisp sound, the black smoke quickly transformed into a very beautiful young woman. Her face was very similar to Luna's, and she also had long pale golden hair.

"This is what you fear most"?

Luna's Ravenclaw roommate poked him from behind, but she did not see Professor Lupin's solemn expression.

"Son, do you need me to replace you with someone else?"

Lupine asked with great concern.

"No, Professor."

Luna looked at the beautiful and kind woman without any fluctuation in her expression.

"If there is a scene that I can never forget, then I shouldn't try to forget it."

Luna murmured.

"puff"!

Without any warning, the woman suddenly exploded in front of them, and now the scene that must be coded when broadcasting education news was so straightforwardly presented in front of everyone.

Suddenly, the classroom fell into silence, because no one could believe the scene in front of them.

"This is my mother, Professor Lupine. She suffered severe backlash while conducting magic experiments and passed away in front of me."

Luna very calmly explained to Lupine who was already staying there.

"...hug, sorry kid".

After a long silence, Lu Ping finally spoke very awkwardly.

"It's okay, Professor, I'm used to this scene, but I feel like there are some students who need your help."

Luna still pointed calmly at a few classmates behind her who had vomited.

Among the chaotic crowd, Zhang Qi also had a look of surprise on his face.

He knew that Luna lost her mother due to magic experiments, but he didn't know that the scene would be so tragic.

When a mother left the world in that way in front of her daughter, Zhang Qi could not imagine what the girl had gone through in her heart.

However, it seems that Luna is not afraid of this scene, which is why Zhang Qi admires her.

However, these pictures in front of me are really exciting.

Because even a well-trained soldier must receive psychological counseling after killing someone, and those twelve or thirteen-year-old children are really not suitable to see such exciting scenes.

"Are you okay?"

Zhang Qi lowered his head and asked the pale girl.

"It's okay, I just feel a little nauseous."

Astoria covered her throat with her hand in pain, as if she wanted to spit it out.

"You didn't have breakfast this morning. You can't vomit even if you want to."

Zhang Qi patted her back gently and rubbed several acupuncture points.

Astoria suddenly felt that the nausea in her chest had decreased a lot.

After finally calming down the students' emotions (Lu Ping asked Zhang Qi for some calming medicine), the class could continue.

"Then, let me reiterate again, Boggart will transform into the thing you fear most in your heart, but as long as you have the courage to fight against it, you will not be harmed by this creature in a frightening way."

"I have just taught you how to use spells to fight against it when you don't have the courage. Is anyone else willing to come up?"

Lupine said a little tiredly.

"Well, then, Miss Ginny Weasley, you go first."

Lupine said to his old friend's daughter with a smile.

"Damn, does this count as a precise step on thunder?"

Zhang Qi muttered below.

"Are you ready, Miss Weasley?"

Lupine was very cautious when he opened the door this time. He held his wand in his hand, ready to give the Boggart a blow if the situation went wrong.

"Snapped"!

The boggart's figure instantly twisted and finally turned into a notebook.

"Oh, Miss Weasley, it turns out you are most afraid of writing a diary."

Lupine asked with a smile.

"No, it's not."

Ginny raised her wand in great fear.

"Funny"!

A spell shot from the tip of the willow wand and struck the boggart.

The old diary suddenly grew a pair of very cute but heavy wings, flying clumsily in the air.

Many people laughed out loud after seeing this strange scene.
