Everyone was chanting the spell "Humming Humming" along with Lupin, but Jimmy, who had a better spell to deal with the Boggart, wasn't practicing it very diligently.

More than Boggart and the curse, he was curious about what he was afraid of.

It's important to know that as people get older, what they fear can change.

As children, we may have been afraid of all kinds of insects, but as we grow up or learn more about them, we are no longer afraid.

Moreover, now that he has learned magic, the sense of security brought by power has greatly increased, and Jimmy doesn't know what can frighten him anymore.

If Boggart knows a fear that even he himself is unaware of, that's pretty impressive!

When it came to the practical stage, Professor Lupin called on Neville to be the first one, put his arm around his shoulder and pulled him to the cabinet, and then said to the others, "Everyone line up, one by one."

Jimmy pulled Hermione to stand in front of him. Their positions were also very close to the front. In front of them was Parvati, in front of Parvati was Ron, and in front of Ron was Lavender.

"Ready?" Professor Lupin pointed his wand at the trembling wardrobe, patiently instructing the nervous Neville. "Don't forget our spell, 'Humph, hummph.' I'll count to three, Neville. One—two—three—begin!"

The wardrobe suddenly opened, and a dark figure darted out. No one could see its shape clearly, not even Neville, who was standing in front of it.

In the blink of an eye, a door appeared in front of them, with the words "Frank Longbottom, Alice Longbottom" written on it.

This is the door to the ward. Boggart didn't become Snape; instead, he became the door to the special care ward of St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Sicknesses, which Neville had visited many times.

Neville didn't freeze for long; after only three seconds, he angrily raised his wand and chanted, "Funny, funny!"

The ward door immediately wilted like a cake, prompting Professor Lupin to offer genuine praise, "Well done, Neville! Beautiful magic!"

Having successfully overcome his own shadow, Neville breathed a sigh of relief and smiled as he stepped aside.

The second person to experience it was Lavender. He stood in front of Boggart, and the wilted cake transformed in a dazzling display, turning into a big gray wolf.

"Hilarious!" Despite his fear, Lavender managed to cast the spell and set the gray wolf's tail on fire.

The third one is Ron. Everyone in his dorm knows what he's afraid of: a giant eight-eyed spider appears, and then each of the spider's eight legs wears a roller skate, causing the spider to lose its balance and fall to the ground.

The fourth is Parvati. When Boggart faced Parvati, he transformed into a mummy wielding a knife. The mummy was emitting white smoke, and its bandages were covered in blood. It stiffly ran towards Parvati, only to trip over its own bandages...

Chapter 210 What Jimmy is Afraid Of

A series of dramatic and comical scenes caused the students in the classroom to erupt in cheers.

The fifth person, finally Hermione.

Jimmy rubbed his hands together excitedly and pushed Hermione toward the mummy who was getting up.

The mummy stared at Hermione for a few seconds, then turned and began to transform.

The cheers in the classroom quieted down, and finally Boggart transformed into a wizard with an indistinct face and a body shrouded in a black robe.

“Avada…”

The black-robed wizard chanted a terrifying incantation, and a tense Hermione unleashed her already prepared spell, "Hilarious! Hilarious!"

The black-robed wizard's wand flew out of his hand, as if he had accidentally flung it away himself.

When the black-robed wizard tried to grab the wand, he stepped on his robe and fell to the ground like a mummy.

Laughter erupted in the classroom again, and Professor Lu Ping, who had been on edge, smiled with relief. "Well done! Next one."

He watched Hermione walk to the side of the classroom and felt a chill for the little girl. The fact that Boggart could become a dark wizard who used the Killing Curse was definitely because the recent underwater train attack had left her with a huge psychological trauma.

Lupin had a habit of reading newspapers. A little over a month ago, the incident of the dark wizard attacking the train had made the front page of the Daily Prophet, which reported that a young wizard had been attacked.

The newspapers didn't specify who it was, but he obtained more detailed information from internal sources within the Order of the Phoenix: two people were attacked.

One of them is Hermione, and the other is...

Jimmy, now free from the control of the Occlumency technique, stood casually in front of Boggart and stared at him curiously.

This eye contact lasted a long time, raising everyone's expectations.

Hermione, Harry, and Ron all thought Jimmy was the bravest among them, so they were all very curious about what the audacious Jimmy was afraid of.

Hermione, in particular, and Jimmy never seemed to show any fear, whether towards people or things; they were always so calm.

Finally, after staring at Jimmy for more than five seconds, Bogut's body began to twist and shrink.

coming soon!

Jimmy held his breath and focused intently, and the students in the classroom also stopped talking.

After a twist, Boggart transformed into someone everyone knew.

Her hair was tousled and messy, and she wore the same uniform robe as everyone else. Her name, "Hermione Granger," was embossed on a shiny metal nameplate.

Bogut glanced at Jimmy with a cold expression, then turned away indifferently, leaving everyone stunned.

Then they looked strangely at Hermione, who was also staring blankly in the classroom, while Harry and Ron looked particularly shocked.

They had considered that Jimmy might be afraid of some kind of terrifying dark magic creature, a bloodthirsty and ferocious monster, or some kind of insect, but they never expected it to be Hermione!

Oh, this is so strange, they're usually so close.

"Hilarious! Hilarious!"

Jimmy, equally surprised, was stunned for a moment before realizing that Boggart had turned into Hermione. He gritted his teeth and chanted the spell, almost turning Boggart to ashes.

Boggart also advocated for merit-based recruitment, choosing the best among the short, and slapped the fear of heartbreak in his face.

Jimmy, enraged, witnessed the opposite effect of the comical spell. Hermione, who had been indifferent, turned around with a smile, and her clothes transformed into a white dress.

Startled, Jimmy used a summoning spell to conjure a roll of cloth, which he used to surround Boggart, preventing others from seeing him.

Everyone in the classroom stared at Jimmy with strange expressions. Even though Jimmy was thick-skinned, his toes were already digging into the ground under everyone's supervision. Like a puppet on strings, he walked to the side step by step.

He saw that Hermione's expression was very subtle, a mixture of confusion, happiness, disgust, and shyness, making it hard to understand.

Hermione could never have imagined that Boggart would transform into himself when facing Jimmy.

Then came the doubts and speculations: What was Jimmy afraid of?

With just a single turning motion, what exactly is this Bogut trying to express?

Even the most brilliant minds couldn't understand Boggart's behavior, and Hermione was even less able to understand why Jimmy was afraid of her.

But that shouldn't be a negative thing...

Ron approached Jimmy with a knowing look on his face, glanced at Hermione, and said in what he thought was a low voice, "She's pretty scary, isn't she!"

After saying that, Jimmy and Hermione stared at him, their eyes as cold as if they were looking at a corpse...

"Okay... alright!" Realizing the situation was not right, Ron immediately raised his hands in surrender and retreated.

Jimmy took a deep breath to calm the embarrassment that made him want to blow the Boggart to smithereens. He admitted that because of his past dark history, he was indeed a little worried about his and Hermione's uncertain future.

But for Boggart to conjure Hermione was an insult!

It's a provocation!

To drive a wedge between him and Hermione's pure feelings!

Jimmy turned around and met Hermione's gaze.

Hermione maintained that subtle expression, as if waiting for Jimmy to speak first, her lips pressed tightly together.

Hermione, I…

"what!!!"

The scream from the female ghost behind him interrupted what Jimmy was about to say, and he turned around in annoyance.

Boggart in front of Seamus transformed into a screaming female ghost, so loud that everyone in the classroom covered their ears.

“Sigh…” Jimmy sighed, leaned close to Hermione’s ear and said, “Want to know why the Boggart turned into you?”

Hermione nodded, and then Jimmy pulled her to a corner of the classroom.

While everyone's attention was focused on the ever-changing Boggart, Jimmy cornered Hermione and whispered in her ear.

No one heard what they said, and only Professor Lu Ping saw the two of them run to a corner.

Hermione looked at the boy in front of her, hoping for an answer that would dispel her confusion.

Jimmy lived up to expectations and said earnestly, "Because what I'm most afraid of right now is that you'll ignore me!"

The sentence had a kindergarten-like quality, but to Hermione it was like the refreshing feeling of stepping into an air-conditioned room on a sweltering summer day, instantly dispelling her gloomy mood.

She slightly widened her eyes, and a smile gradually appeared on her face.

Seeing Hermione smile, Jimmy seemed to have shed the burden of his tormenting past, and suddenly hugged the girl. "You should know, I'm not very good at... that. If you mind, I can prepare a new confession."

"Pfft!" Hermione chuckled, carefully wrapped her arms around Jimmy, and whispered in his ear, "Forget it, it's probably not going to be much better than this time."

Just as the two were about to say something more, another incident occurred in the middle of the classroom, and the various chaotic noises made it impossible for them to be affectionate together any longer.

They turned around and saw Boggart running around everywhere, turning into all sorts of terrifying things, scaring the little wizards in the classroom so much they ran around in panic.

Chapter 211 Hagrid's Effectiveness

Boggart, who was running around aimlessly, was stopped by Jimmy and thrown back into the closet with a vengeance. There weren't many things in this world that he could hate.

Besides the people who steal your money and the chocolate yogurt rice noodle rolls, now we need to add another one: Boggart!

Seeing that the commotion had stopped, Professor Lu Ping immediately waved and shouted, "Okay, that's the end of today's class. You'll see even more interesting things in the future. Don't be disappointed if you didn't get a turn!"

Although many people were still disappointed, they could only leave the classroom dejectedly and begin to look forward to the next lesson.

This year's professors were surprisingly normal; they absolutely adore the humorous and witty Professor Lu Ping, of course, in comparison to the two professors from the previous two years.

Jimmy didn't come away empty-handed from the lesson; at least he and Hermione found themselves in a strange, nauseatingly intimate situation.

Hermione seemed to suddenly transform into an innocent young girl, blushing involuntarily, even though they had known each other for three years and had done quite a few intimate things during that time.

This continued until dinner time, as Hermione gradually adapted to the subtle changes in those relationships due to the heavy academic pressure.

She disappointed Jimmy, who had thought her blushing and shyness would last longer...

On Monday of the second week of school, Jimmy brought freshly brewed glutinous rice balls to the Black Lake in the morning. From afar, he saw a burly figure doing lunges with a barbell on the lake.

Judging from the large drops of sweat on Hagrid's forehead, he's probably been training for quite some time.

After a week of intense training, coupled with the nourishment of the potion, Hagrid's body underwent a dramatic transformation!

The British strongman who weighed over 780 pounds has now become a British strongman who weighs nearly 1,000 kilograms.
