Hogwarts: I'm Harry's older cousin

Chapter 205, Section 203: Ron in his school swimsuit, Draco in drag.

Boggarts, who feed on fear, and Dementors, who feed on pleasure, are similar in some ways.

They all feed on human emotions.

To be honest, Dudley was quite curious about what he was afraid of.

But he was more curious about something else: how did the things that Boggart transformed into differ from his actual, existing self, or were they merely superficial appearances?

For example, if a wizard who fears Voldemort encounters a Boggart.

So, is the Voldemort that Boggart conjures up the Boggart with Voldemort's powers, or is it just a Boggart with Voldemort's form?

If it's power, even a very small portion, it will be catastrophic.

Imagine hundreds of Voldemorts appearing in front of you—it's practically a Voldemort giveaway!

Ron stood in front of the cabinet.

Accompanied by a cloud of black smoke, a giant spider crawled out of the cabinet, as expected.

It has eight legs, eight eyes, a body covered in fine hair, and two enormous venomous fangs.

But the most striking feature is the spider's head, which is not an ordinary spider at all, but half rat and half human, with a rat with a pointed snout and long teeth and a fat face full of pustules.

Most importantly, this thing had eight paws on the ground but its butt was sticking out, and the half-human, half-rat was pouting at Ron.

That moment gave Ron goosebumps all over, making him feel uncomfortable both physically and mentally. Of course, at that moment, he wished he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

What exactly happened to Ron? —By Harry

"I'll be nicer to him from now on." — Draco

"Robin Hood's fears are truly bizarre." — By the little wizards

Dudley: '6'

Lu Ping stared at that face and felt a sense of familiarity, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it before; it looked too abstract.

"Blazing Flames!" Ron raised his wand and unleashed a spell with all his might.

Red flames immediately erupted from the tip of the wand, enveloping the giant spider.

An ordinary spider would have been burned to death, but this giant spider showed no signs of injury and even seemed to be enjoying itself.

"Stop! Stop! Normal spells can't hurt Boggarts," Lupin said immediately, stopping Ron from continuing to set fires.

Boggarts are similar to Dementors in that ordinary magic is ineffective against them.

"Classmates, the spell to defeat the Boggart is very simple, so please remember it well."

Lupin took out his wand and stood beside Ron, ready to come to his rescue if the spell failed.

"Rashomon, say it with me—hilarious!"

Once again called by the wrong name, Ron forgot his fear for a moment and took his anger out on Boggart, pointing his wand at him.

"Hilarious"

With a loud thud, Boggart changed. He was no longer in the form of a giant spider, but had become... Snape dressed as Lockhart? Not only that, but he also had a long tail trailing behind him.

When he saw the other young wizards, his tail suddenly opened. Yes, he displayed his tail feathers.

Ron:

Lupin:

Dudley: 6

Harry: 6

Navee: 6

Draco: 6

Other junior wizards: 666

"Ahem. Well done."

Lupin quickly coughed twice to cover his embarrassment, then casually waved his hand, and Snape, who had been displaying his feathers, turned into a roly-poly toy.

If Snape finds out, Ron is doomed in the next Potions class.

"Then next one."

They immediately changed the subject and asked someone else to come on stage, and coincidentally, they chose Draco.

Draco stood in front, and Boggart immediately began to transform.

However, an unexpected scene unfolded: a man with long platinum blonde hair and a pale face appeared, holding his signature cane.

Lucius.

Boggart had transformed into Lucius.

Does this mean Draco is afraid of his father?

Just as everyone was puzzled, 'Lucius' spoke up, addressing Draco in a stern tone.

"Draco, I am the head of the family, and I have the final say in the affairs of the Malfoy family."

Without a word, Draco raised his wand at Lucius: "I've wanted to do this for a long time."

The practice of taking care of a filial son.

"Hilarious! Hilarious!"

"Draco, you'll regret this!"

With Lucius's unwilling scream, he disappeared from the spot with a thud, and the next moment, 'Ron', wearing a blue school swimsuit, stood there blankly.

"Yes, this outfit suits you very well."

After looking Draco up and down for a while, he turned to Ron with ill intent.

His original intention was to prank Ron, and most of the young wizards were indeed amused and laughed out loud at the sight.

However, a few young female wizards stared intently at the backs of the two figures, seemingly lost in thought. The only certainty was that their eyes were shining brightly, as if a light was moving within them.

The third Harry stepped forward without hesitation.

Then Boggart began to transform again, and then it turned into a baguette.

"Potter, why are you afraid of this thing?"

Not to mention the other young wizards, even Draco and Ron, who were closest to Potter, were completely confused.

Only Dudley knew why, because he saw a clear tooth mark on the baguette.

This is probably an obsession with not protecting my food back then.

Rather than fear, Harry felt more guilty.

"Hilarious! Hilarious!"

Harry didn't bother explaining to anyone; those who understood would understand. He simply cast a spell, and the Boggart transformed once more.

This time it's... Draco dressed in women's clothing.

Draco's face flushed red instantly.

It wasn't out of shyness, it was pure anger.

This scene caused another burst of laughter from a group of young wizards. The little witches who had been staring at Ron earlier began to scan Harry, Draco, and Ron with the same gaze.

"Hehehe"

He unconsciously let out a strange laugh that was difficult to understand.

Next up is Nawei.

This child was quite honest; unlike the previous three, he didn't conjure up any strange things, but instead produced a ball.

"Very good, very good, everyone did a great job. Now, anyone else who wants to try, please line up. Everyone can have a chance."

Now everyone was much more interested than before, and they started lining up one after another to cast spells on Boggart.

"I heard about your bet with Snape. You're very brave." Seeing that the young wizards were no longer afraid, and that Boggart could no longer draw any power of fear from them, Lupin felt much more at ease and walked over to Dudley, the only one not in line.

The bet mentioned naturally refers to the matter of improving the magic potion.

"Professor Lupin, I don't think that was a bet."

Dudley corrected and emphasized, "It's just students completing assignments given by the professor."

"Oh, sorry, so that's what you think," Lupin said decisively.

He hadn't expected anyone to speak up for Snape.

The young wizards quickly took turns, leaving only Dudley untried.

Hermione was in the first few classes when Boggart turned into Dudley and told her she had failed every subject. She was so angry that she almost tore Boggart apart on the spot.

"Well, it's my turn last."

At this point, Boggart's image is that of a hand caught in a mousetrap.

So Dali went up to them.

The mousetrap and the hand remained silent; nothing happened.

Time passed second by second, but Boggart remained unchanged, as if Dudley did not exist.

Dali also noticed this situation and was thinking of just letting it end like this, but then a thought suddenly occurred to him.

Let's take this opportunity to conduct an experiment.
