Chapter 334 Boggart in the Closet
Chapter 334 Boggart in the Closet
On Thursday, Charlie learned from Dumbledore that under the pressure of all kinds of classics, Fudge finally withdrew all the dementors back to Azkaban.
Instead, the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic are stationed at Hogwarts in turn to prevent Sirius from retaliating against Harry, or go crazy and stop killing at Hogwarts.
Of course, it is said that Big Malfoy also played a big role in it, receiving a letter from his precious son.
Knowing that his only son was almost sucked to death by a dementor, he not only protested to the school board, but also protested to the Ministry of Magic.
Speaking of it, although Dama Erfu is a pure-blood theorist, he is not a die-hard fan of Voldemort like Bellacre and Slestrange.
The reason why Big Malfoy is loyal to Voldemort is because he is afraid of his strength on the one hand, and to protect the interests of the Malfoy family on the other hand.
As long as Voldemort wins, the status of pure blood will no longer be shaken, and the status of the Malfoy family, one of the 28 sacred families, will not be shaken even more.
To put it bluntly, he is not for ideals and honors, but for his own interests.
But little Malfoy is the only descendant of the Malfoy family, if something goes wrong with him, then the Malfoy family will cease to exist.
This is also the real reason why the Malfoy family chose to betray Voldemort in the final battle.
In fact, Charlie has always had a doubt, that is, does Dumbledore know that Sirius is innocent?
Therefore, when he left Dumbledore's office, he asked Dumbledore tentatively.
If he encounters Sirius in the castle, what should he do with him, whether to kill him directly or capture him alive and hand him over to the Ministry of Magic.
However, the answer Dumbledore gave was that if he really met Sirius, he would treat it as if he hadn't seen it, because he believed that Sirius would not harm the little wizards in the castle.
It can be seen that Dumbledore, who is like an old fox, may have already confirmed that Sirius was innocent through various clues and did not betray them to Voldemort.
It's just that he didn't have any solid evidence to prove it, and Sirius blamed himself too much at that time, staying in Azkaban was originally for atonement, and he didn't want to get rid of the crime.
In fact, Charlie imagined it too. In the original book, Sirius Black was able to sneak into Hogwarts silently, relying on a secret passage.
It was a secret passage from the Shrieking Shack in Hogsmeade to the Whomping Willow under Hogwarts Castle.
The Whomping Willow and the Screaming Shack were originally prepared by Dumbledore for Lupine's full moon transformation, so how could he not know.
If he wanted to catch Sirius Black, wouldn't he have to block one at the Whomping Willow.
"It's Professor Lupine, is this preparation?"
Not long after Charlie came out of Dumbledore's office, he ran into Professor Lupine who had just taught Peeves a lesson with magic in the corridor, and the third-year Gryffindor and Slater wizards who followed him.
"It's Professor Meow, I'm planning to take them to a very interesting class!"
Lupine replied with a smile when he saw Charlie.
Last time on the train, Charlie's shocking appearance still left Lupine with a deep memory.
Charlie recalled for a while, suddenly said:
"Is it a Boggart?"
A boggart is a shape-shifting non-being beyond life and death, capable of transforming into anything that anyone nearby fears.
Also due to this shape-shifting ability, no one knows what a Boggart looks like when left alone, as it instantly takes on whatever that person fears the most.
However, the transformation of Boggart is only an external transformation, and cannot imitate the same power or magic. A Boggart turned into a dementor cannot have a strong negative impact on people, and the cry of a Boggart turned into a female ghost will not be fatal.
"Yes, it's Boggart, who can help students overcome their demons and become braver!"
Lupine was not surprised by Charlie's answer. He thought it was not surprising that Charlie, as a former Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, knew Boggarts.
"Can I go and see it together? To be honest, I have never seen this special product bred by human emotions!"
Charlie is still somewhat interested in the special existence of Boggart.
"Of course you can, but I didn't expect that you haven't seen a Boggart!"
Lupine looked surprised.
He felt that Charlie, as a powerful wizard and a former Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, was not a rare existence like a Boggart, so he should be very familiar with it.
Charlie and Lupine chatted as they walked:
"Actually, Professor Lupine, you don't know something. What I'm good at is how to fight. I'm still lacking in many aspects. Last year, I temporarily took over the position of professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts, but Dumbledore just kicked the duck into the shelf!"
What Charlie said is actually correct. In terms of actual combat ability, even Dumbledore may not be his opponent.
But when it comes to the theoretical knowledge of some defense against the dark arts courses, he really doesn't know much about some dark products.
Even though he has read a lot of magic books, they are basically more about magic theory, and he reads less of other books, and even though he has read many of them in books, he has never actually seen them.
Therefore, compared to Charlie, the experienced and well-informed Lupine is actually more suitable as a professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts.
Lupine was taken aback when he heard this, and then nodded.
Because at this time, he realized that he had overlooked a problem, that is, although Charlie showed great strength and was very stable in speaking and doing things, he looked about seventeen or eighteen years old.
Presumably, it is normal for many things to have never seen the entity.
In this way, the two chatted and came to the destination of this class - the staff lounge.
It was a long room, paneled on all sides, and filled with old mismatched chairs.
Apparently, the staff lounge has been abandoned.
At this time, in the center of the room, there was an old wardrobe that was not too small. The wardrobe flickered, as if there was something inside.
Next to the closet, Professor Snape was already sitting in a low armchair and waiting.
When he saw Lupine and Charlie entering the room with Gryffindor and Slater's little wizards, he immediately stood up, greeted Charlie lukewarmly, and left after mocking Lupine.
"Why, Professor Snape seems to have a problem with you?"
Charlie asked in a low voice.
Lupine sighed and replied:
"It's all old grievances. In fact, I don't blame him!"
Charlie shrugged. He didn't care too much about the grievances between the two, but he didn't show curiosity at this time, which seemed a bit out of line with his current personality.
