Sprout didn't know what he had done before, his clothes were covered with a lot of mud, and if a Virgo was a hygienist, such as Harry's aunt, she would faint when she saw her nails. But Gideroy Lockhart was spotless from head to toe, with flowing turquoise robes, glittering blonde hair and a turquoise gold-rimmed top hat. And, of course, little white teeth.

The appearance of this product is really deceptive! It's a pity not to be a star. Alas, no, he's a star in the wizarding world. Daphany muttered.

"Oh, hello!" Lockhart shouted at the students with a spring breeze on his face, "Just showed Professor Sprout how to heal the wounds of the beater!" But I don't want you to think I'm better at herbalism than she is! After all, she's your herb teacher, and I've only happened to see a few of these strange plants during my travels......"

"Today to the third greenhouse!" Professor Sprout said. She was visibly gloomy, unusually cheerful. Obviously, the time I spent with Lockhart just now was not pleasant.

The little lion and the little snake were a little excited. For the whole year of the first school year, they only went into the first greenhouse, where they were planted with some conventional herbs. There are even a lot of Muggle herbs. The third greenhouse, according to the seniors, will be much more interesting. But it's also much more dangerous. But are the little ones afraid of danger? Apparently not, especially the lion cubs.

Professor Sprout removed a large key from his belt and opened the door. The students smelled a smell of damp earth and fertilizer, mixed with a strong floral scent. The little snakes and the little lions looked inside, and the first thing they saw was flowers. The flowers were the size of an umbrella and hung from the ceiling.

Daphne felt that she had been a girl for too long, and she already had the emotions of a girl. For example, seeing beautiful flowers can be very exciting.

The snake cubs and the lion cubs excitedly walked into the greenhouse, and Harry tried to follow Ron and Hermione inside, but was stopped by Lockhart.

"Harry! I've always wanted to talk to you about- Professor Sprout, you wouldn't mind if he was two minutes late, would you? Lockhart's last sentence was addressed to Professor Sprout. Daphany observed Professor Sprout's face, and it was clear that she minded. However, Lockhart was thick-skinned enough not to see it, and while pulling Harry out with a reluctant face, he said, "Great, I'll send him back soon." ”

Daphany didn't know what Lockhart would say when he took Harry away, but she could guess it. It's nothing more than all kinds of fame, fame, autographs, and the like to show off under the pretext of persuasion.

After a while, Harry returned. Daphne peeked at Harry, Harry's face was wooden, and his eyes were a little glazed. It looks like something stimulated. Daphany secretly sighed, the peacock man's combat power is extraordinary.

Harry sat down next to Ron and spun around for Hermione. Hermione and Daphany sat on the other side. Ron looked displeased with this and turned his head away from looking. It was Daphine, who saw Harry looking this way and smiled at him.

Harry responded with a smile, and Professor Sprout looked at the crowd and prepared to start lecturing.

First, she moved out a box and put it on a stool beside her. The box contained more than two dozen pairs of earmuffs. Earmuffs are available in any color. Professor Sprout glanced around and said, "What we're going to do today is repot the mandrake." Before actually manipulating, I would like to ask, does anyone know what a mandrake is and what kind of characteristics it has. ”

Hermione was the first to raise her hand, as everyone expected, as she always did. Daphany then raised her hand, and to Neville's surprise, she raised her hand tremblingly.

"Well, Mr. Longbottom will come first, Miss Granger and Miss Lanstrange will be ready to add." Professor Sprout was glad that he had students in his class who were willing to speak, especially Neville, who was usually not talkative and a little timid, raised his hand.

Professor Sprout knew Neville's parents, and even had a good relationship with them for a while. Neville's mother, in particular, was also a witch with great achievements in herbal medicine. If you hadn't become an Auror, you might have become a pharmacist. Professor Sprout had a pretty good relationship with Neville's mother. Professor Sprout, who was involved with Neville's parents, knew that she was more than willing to see Neville get out of the shadow of his inferiority complex and cowardice sooner rather than later.

"Uh-huh......" Neville staggered to his feet, and Daphany noticed that his feet were shaking. But he still tried to speak: "Man...... Mandrake, also known as ...... Mandrake root, herbaceous plant, is ...... One is a kind of herb that has a restorative effect. ”

"Good, Gryffindor plus five points!" Professor Sprout nodded with satisfaction: "Is there anyone else you want to add?" ”

Dafanie didn't raise her hand, she was watching Neville. Neville, who sat down, was flushed and his body trembled slightly.

Daphany didn't raise her hand, but Hermione did. Professor Sprout gestured and got up and added, "Mandrake root is a powerful restorative used to restore a person who has been transformed or under a spell to its original state. Especially for negative states that have been hit by petrification and related spells, it has a miraculous effect. At this point, she glanced at Daphany, smiled apologetically, and continued, "Well, I've heard Dafanie mention that except for Medusa's petrification, mandrakes can remove all petrification effects. ”

Daphany responded with a smile to Hermione, signaling that she didn't care.

"Very good, Gryffindor plus five points!" Professor Sprout nodded in satisfaction, "Mandrakes are an important part of most potions that remove negative effects. But it's also dangerous. Can anyone tell me why? ”

Hermione glanced at Daphany, who smiled and nodded for her to continue, Hermione immediately raised her hand, and then replied, "The roots of the mandrake make a cry, and hearing its cry can kill people!" ”

"Exactly, Genlanfondo continues to add five points!" Professor Sprout's mood was clearly tempered by Hermione and Neville's succession of answers, and his usual smile appeared on his face again: "But our mandrakes are still very young, and they are still babies. Their cries aren't fatal yet, but they're still in a coma for an hour or two. So, in a moment I hope everyone brings this! She pointed to a row of deep-bottomed plates, where about a hundred green and purple seedlings were lined up. Then he pointed to the earmuffs that had been placed beside him before: "One pair per person!" ”

There was a rush of grabbing, and the color of a few earmuffs was so ugly that no one wanted to take it. Then, unsurprisingly, the ugliest one was in Neville's hands.

Harry and Ron held the earmuffs with blank expressions, they still didn't know what Professor Sprout and Hermione and Neville were talking about. The little purple sprout over there is a mandrake, right? But what is crying, and the grass will cry? Mimosa? Obviously this kind of thing doesn't happen to the two of them.

"When I tell you to put on the earmuffs, you must cover your ears tightly," Professor Sprout said, "and when it is safe to remove them, I will give you two thumbs up." Okay – put on the earmuffs. ”

Harry and Ron had no idea what was going on, but simple obedience could have done it.

Daphine obediently put on the earmuffs, well! All of a sudden, I couldn't hear anything. This thing works great!

Professor Sprout brought one of his own, then rolled up his sleeves, grasped a blade of grass firmly, and pulled it up with all his might.

Many of the girls felt a slight tingling in their scalps, and Professor Sprout's movements reminded them of pulling their hair.

But then, the girls couldn't think about what they had or not. Many girls screamed, but everyone wore earmuffs and no one could hear them. The reason for the exclamation was simple, it was not the grass roots that were pulled out of the soil, but a very ugly baby, and the leaves grew on his head. Well, now the boys also have the association of pulling their hair.

The little baby at the root of the Mandora grass was light green with spots on it, and the little one was having a big mouth at this time, and it looked like he was yelling. However, with earmuff protection, no one heard the sound.

Professor Sprout took a large flower pot from under the table, stuffed the mandrake doll in, and buried him with damp dark compost, leaving only the clumps of leaves exposed. She patted the mud off her hands, gave them two thumbs up, and removed her ear tips.

All the lion cubs and snake cubs had wooden expressions, even Daphany and Hermione. Only Professor Sprout looked as usual, as if she had just watered the sunflowers: "Everyone must wear earmuffs when they work." When it's time to pack up, I'll try to get your attention. A plate for four people -- there's a lot of pots here -- composted in a bag over there -- and the one on the side is a poisonous tentacle, so be careful, it's teething. The professor said as he slammed a spiky crimson plant, causing it to retract its tentacles that crept over her shoulder.

The little lion and the little snake still have wooden expressions.

"Move, move, you can't get out of class until you finish this!" Professor Sprout said.

The little lions and the little snakes finally moved.

Daphany and Hermione had two Gryffindor girls, while Harry and Ron teamed up with Moxie and Neville.

When Professor Sprout did it, everyone was stunned by the shape of the mandrake. But I didn't think it was that difficult. Isn't it just pulling it out, changing the pot, burying some soil and applying some fertilizer. However, after some actual operation, it is not the case at all!

First of all, the root of the mandrake, that is, the ugly boy, is huge! Buried in the soil itself is very difficult to pull out. And then they are clearly reluctant to come out either. It takes a lot of effort to get them out. Of course, you can dig up the earth first, which will be a little easier, but only if you bring dragon skin gloves! The ugly boy of the mandrake is able to scratch and bite.

And when you finally get it out and change the pot for it, you will find that if you don't want to come out, it doesn't mean that it plans to enter the basin again. Pour dirt on it, and it will be swept away by its dancing hands.

Hermione and Daphine, who are usually comfortable in class, were confused by a few pots of pandrake. On the other hand, it was Harry and Ron's side, because Neville had joined unexpectedly smoothly. Neville didn't know what he was doing, but when he pulled it out, he looked a lot easier than Daphine. Even when I put it in the pot again, I feel that the mandrake is much more well-behaved.

Daphany had the heart to ask for advice, but everyone was wearing ear covers, and it was still a little far away. Plus the competitive Hermione obviously gritted her teeth and had to do it independently. Daphany had no choice but to give up.

Finally, when the bell rang for the end of class, the little snakes and the little lions were able to complete the required number of tasks. Everyone felt the pain in their backs. The little snakes are okay, there is only this one class in the morning, you can go back and rest. The lion cubs were miserable, and there was not only a class below, but also a transfiguration class from their headmaster, Professor McGonagall.
