Thanks to Mad Dave's plant-growing heritage, even if the mandrake can sing, dance, and maybe do something else, it's still a plant. Ryan mastered the characteristics of the mandrake after observing it for a few minutes, then pulled it out, repotted it, and filled it in one go, and when he finished it, he found that the others were still wrestling with the mandrake in their hands.

That's right, it's a struggle, and Ryan saw more than one of his classmates bitten on the finger by the mandrake.

Ryan's neat repotting of the mandrake earned Gryffindor another five points. At the end of the herb class, the man took the opportunity to ask Professor Sprout a question that he had not figured out in his previous life, that is, why so many students in the original book were petrified and had to wait for the mandrake in the greenhouse to mature, instead of buying the mandrake outside.

Of course, Ryan's question was why he had never seen anyone selling mandrake outside.

Professor Sprout replied with some pride that at least in all of Europe, only Hogwarts had succeeded in cultivating mandrakes, and that wild mandrakes were only easy to spot when they were ripe. However, in the wild stage, the mature mandrake will crawl out of the soil on its own, looking for a suitable place to blossom and bear fruit. So in the market, you can only see mandrakes for sale by chance.

Ryan thanked the professor for his answer and ran back to the castle to take a shower and change clothes. He felt that the mandrake was too much like the legendary ginseng doll, and he planned to use his own plant to find Professor Sprout to study it for another mandrake.

Later in the Transfiguration class, Ryan and Hermione each added five points to Gryffindor, and they succeeded in turning the beetle into a beautiful button. But considering that he had spent a lot of time in the grocery store and that Hermione hadn't used a wand all summer, Ryan was once again feeling the pressure of the gods of learning on him. Because both Chinese and foreign parents will care about their children's studies, but unfortunately, Ryan's parents only know Hermione, a classmate, and it feels really bad to lose a little after every comparison.

After lunch, Ryan faced the last lesson of the day. Seriously, if it weren't for the fact that every professor had the right to deduct points, he would even have an urge to skip class.

That's right, the next class is Gilderoy Lockhart, the famous novelist, memory stealer, third-class medalist of the Order of Merlin, an honorary member of the Anti-Dark Arts League, and a five-time winner of Wizarding Weekly's Most Charming Smile Award. He is the only one who can turn the classroom into a fan meeting, not to mention turning the meeting into a disaster later.

But it was not possible to go to class, and Ryan could only go to the Defence Against the Dark Arts classroom with several thick and heavy novels on his back in his heart.

As soon as he entered the classroom, Ryan found that the classroom was noisier than usual, and many girls had excited expressions on their faces, chattering with each other about Lockhart, which felt similar to the atmosphere of some celebrity book signings.

Thankfully, the fans took up their seats at the front of the classroom, so Ryan was able to find a corner at the back of the classroom to sit down. Then pile up seven books in front of him, block the view in front of him, and prepare for class to fish.

After the bell rang and the class was seated, Lockhart walked in from outside the classroom. Upon entering, Lockhart cleared his throat to silence everyone. Then he reached out and picked up the "Walking with the Trolls" by a young wizard sitting in the front row, and held it in his hand, showing the photo of himself blinking on the cover.

"I," he said, pointing to his photograph and winking at him, "Gilderoy Lockhart, 3rd Class of the Order of Merlin, Honorary Member of the Anti-Dark Arts League, five-time winner of Wizarding Weekly's Most Charming Smile Award - but I don't talk about that, I don't use a smile to exorcise the ghost of Wanlun!"

"If you don't talk about this, what are you doing now?" Ryan complained silently in his heart.

After saying that, he waited for a while, expecting everyone to cheer. Sure enough, many little witches laughed. The laughter seemed to give him strength, and he went on to say with smugness:

"I see that you all bought my full set of books – good. I thought we'd do a quiz today. Don't be afraid—just see how well you read and how much ...... you comprehend."

It's this complete set of books that almost bankrupted Ron's family, and this kind of monopoly money-cheating business is too immoral. Ryan couldn't help but draw a cross for Lockhart in his heart, he thought this person was very annoying in the book, but now when he meets a real person, he finds that the real person is even more annoying than in the book.

For the next 30 minutes, everyone was doing Lockhart's questionnaire. It's full of fan club entrance tests like what color Lockhart likes and what Lockhart's birthday is. Does Lockhart really plan to grow his fan club at the school? Ryan thinks the wizarding world should ban this kind of business from entering the school.

To make matters worse, Ryan had to endure a full ten minutes of narcissistic comments from Lockhart after spending half an hour barely compiling three major papers.

Hermione received a score of five for getting all the questions right, and Ryan looked at Hermione in surprise as she sat next to her. Hermione covered her mouth with one hand and then mouth-shaped Ryan and said, "I'm just habitually remembering everything in the books I've read." ”

"Hahaha, very good! Now, let's get down to business......" He stooped down and took out a large covered cage from behind the podium and placed it on the table.

"Now—beware! I'm on a mission to teach you the worst things the wizarding world has to know! But remember, as long as I'm here, you'll not be harmed. All I ask is that you remain calm. ”

Ryan saw the cage and immediately packed up all his belongings, he didn't want his things to be messed up by the elves.

Later, after a dramatic performance, Lockhart opened the door containing the cage of the Cornish elves. One thing Lockhart was right was that these little ones were dangerous.

While they have no magical abilities and only enjoy playing pranks rather than harming others, they are not as kind creatures as the Smurfs. They are compact, flexible, physically strong, cunning and a team player. When dozens of elves gather in a small space, even many adult wizards can't handle them. And Lockhart actually released them all in order to pretend to be forced.

Is chaos and disaster inevitable? No, Ryan doesn't think so.
