Hogwarts: A little lion in the skin of the Eagle School

With a click, the wardrobe door slowly opened.

All that could be seen was a sudden flash of silver light emanating from the dark wardrobe.

As the light source slowly emerged from the wardrobe, everyone saw that it was actually a silver sphere the size of a balloon, emitting a faint glow.

The small ball was surrounded by clouds and mist.

John looked at the sphere and felt it looked somewhat familiar.

It looks like a full moon.

Professor Lupin, however, looked very serious. He waved his wand and loudly chanted the spell: "Hilarious Hilarious!"

As Professor Lupin finished his incantation, the sphere suddenly turned into a deflated balloon.

It made a "whoosh whoosh" sound as it blew air around in the classroom.

Finally, it turned into a deflated balloon and landed in front of the wardrobe.

Seeing this, the young wizards, though puzzled, were amused by the "blooming" sound of the balloon deflating.

"That's how you deal with Boggarts: turn your biggest fear into something you find most hilarious."

Professor Lu Ping straightened his clothes and turned to speak to everyone.

"Now, line up, take out your wands, and everyone take turns trying it out."

Under Professor Lupin's encouragement, the young wizards became very interested and quickly lined up.

Therefore, practice is the best way to learn.

As one classmate after another stepped forward, Boggart transformed into various things time and time again. Some of these things would frighten the others as well, while others would only frighten the person in question.

Everyone understood what Professor Lu Ping had said at the beginning.

If you don't know how to deal with a Boggart, then the Boggart will become your most terrifying nightmare.

It becomes the thing that the person in front of it fears most, but as the spell is recited, it becomes the funniest thing.

Professor Lupin initially scared his students to give these fledgling wizards an understanding of dark magic and dark magical creatures, implying that these were evil and dangerous things.

Then, having everyone fight Boggart amidst laughter was to instill in the young wizards the confidence to fight against evil.

"Very good, very good, next, Mr. Merrick."

When the name was pronounced, Professor Lupin recognized John as well. He watched John walk step by step toward Boggart and wondered what the child who dared to face the Dementors would be most afraid of.

As John stood still, Bogut shifted his position.

In the end, they became two corpses, one large and one small, lying on the ground, covered in blood and even with their limbs twisted and deformed, as if they had been hit by a large vehicle.

"..."

John's breath caught in his throat as he looked at the two corpses.

Everyone present was startled by the bloody scene, but it was still acceptable, because some people had been afraid of this kind of thing before and had seen it.

They didn't recognize the two corpses and assumed John was afraid of the deaths of his family members.

However, John knew perfectly well that the large corpse was his past life.

The small corpse in his arms was the little girl he had risked his life to save.

He had long forgotten what the little girl looked like, but when she appeared before him, he recognized her at a glance.

He is afraid.

It's not that I'm afraid of death, but that I'm afraid my past death was meaningless.

The little girl he feared for her life to save actually died along with him.

He lost consciousness the moment he was hit by the speeding truck and had no idea whether the little girl had been rescued.

He was always proud that he died saving someone.

Therefore, the little girl's corpse was what he feared most.

It was as if all his pride had been shattered. In that situation, could the little girl in his arms really have survived...?

Even if she survives, she can't possibly be unharmed...

Looking at the corpse of his past life, and the corpse of the little girl in his arms.

John felt nauseous and his body began to tremble uncontrollably.

He suddenly found himself amusing; he clearly had no ability to save people, yet he always tried to show off and act like a hero.

It was like this in my past life, and it is like this in this life.

"Mr. Merrick, relax, relax."

"Don't be nervous, just recite the incantation."

Professor Lupin noticed that the sight of the corpse seemed to have a great impact on John, so he came to John's side and gently encouraged him.

John lowered his head and remained silent, his grip on the wand tightening.

Professor Lupin suddenly felt the surging magic within John begin to overflow wildly.

The little wizard in the classroom didn't know what was happening, but suddenly felt extremely oppressed, had difficulty breathing, and was unable to move as if he were stuck in a swamp.

"Retreat the enemy three feet!"

Suddenly, John raised his head and swung his wand upwards. A red spell flashed, unleashing a magical storm that sent the two corpses and the wardrobe flying.

They all crashed against the back wall of the classroom, making a loud noise.

The massive magical storm tore the books in the classroom to shreds, sending debris flying everywhere.

The young wizards were all startled by what they saw.

A magical upheaval!?

Professor Lupin was also stunned by what he saw. Could such immense magic really be possessed by an 11-year-old wizard?

But more important than that now is John.

Professor Lupin immediately grabbed John from behind, restraining his hands to prevent him from continuing his erratic spellcasting, and shouted, "John, calm down! Think clearly!!"

He called John by his name directly, not caring about using a professor's tone.

Ryan and Ethan rushed over in concern and pulled John back from both sides.

"John! It's all fake! Calm down!"

Their voices also rang in John's ears.

John let out a soft breath, and the magic around him gradually subsided.

He was actually quite calm.

Because he is feeling his own power in this moment.

This is a real, unprecedented, and world-changing force.

As long as we can master this power.

He can choose to be a hero or a demon.

He can also overcome this inner demon...

"I'm sorry, Professor Lupin, Ryan, Ethan, for making you worry..."

John spoke slowly, his tone not as manic or out of control as Professor Lupin had imagined.

Professor Lupin then released John, stepped forward, placed his hand on John's shoulder, and looked at John intently, wanting to see his expression.

"I'm so sorry, John, I didn't realize Boggart would have such a big impact on you..."

Professor Lupin sincerely apologized to John, saying he had never expected things to turn out this way.

It's not Professor Lupin's fault; John himself couldn't escape the shadow of his past life. On the contrary, John should thank this Boggart.

"No, Professor Lupin, I should thank you instead. This Boggart allowed me to understand my own heart."

"Only then can I truly conquer my inner demons."

John shook his head, indicating to the professor that he could relax and not feel guilty.

Then John raised his wand, and Professor Lupin, thinking John was about to do something again, tried to stop him.

"Restored to its original condition."

However, as John's spell fell, the wardrobe was smashed, the books were torn to shreds, and the floor was a complete mess.

Everything was restored to its original state.

From the magical storm that just blew the wardrobe away to the restoration of everything now, this powerful magic left the young wizards behind speechless.

Ryan and Ethan were just like they were meeting John for the first time. They knew John was talented, but they didn't expect him to be this amazing.

However, they were more concerned about John's current mental state.

The two corpses returned to John's side.

"Hilarious, hilarious."

As the spell was cast, Boggart instantly transformed into an orange cat that stood up like a human.

The orange cat was wiggling its butt, doing some kind of dance, which was quite funny.

Seeing this, Professor Lu Ping finally felt relieved and smiled.

The young wizards, though still confused, were amused by the orange cat.
