Chapter 691: Facing Fears - Black vs Boggart!
When Daphne explained what a Boggart was, Harry and Hermione knew why the other three had reacted so upon learning its presence within the wardrobes.
Harry might not know how the Boggart did it, but he knew one thing.
Between the five of them, the list of the things they feared was just too long.
How in the world would they get the key to the next room like this now?! Harry wondered, looking at others, and knew others were thinking the same.
"There must be something we can do against them, right?" Hermione asked.
Inwardly, she was already blaming herself for not having come across this term in the books so far. How could she have ever missed it?!
It was as amortal, non-being! They had a special section of their own!
"There's a spell," Daphne said, remembering the name. "Riddikulus. But it isn't just about wand movement and incantation, Darcie once told me. It requires lots of focus."
"Do you know the wand movement?" Harry asked, seeing some hope.
Daphne nodded.
"Then let's just try it," Harry suggested. "We will each try it on one Boggart, one by one. Whoever gets the spell right then would walk through the wardrobes, searching for the key. Yeah?"
