Chapter 36: Is It Really Fate?
"What do you say? You brought Filch after I left last night? In the empty classroom, William looked at Hermione in front of him and asked with a surprised expression.
William, who had just finished eating at noon, was pulled by Hermione into an empty classroom, William thought something was going to happen, but he didn't expect the girl to be impatient to talk to him about this as soon as he entered the door.
However, the boy really didn't expect that as soon as he walked on the front foot, so many things would happen behind him.
Harry and the others were discovered by Lady Loris, and they were chased by Filch in a frenzied pursuit, and finally went to the room.
Is this really fate?
Or is there a big hand in the shadows that controls everything?
The plot that was originally changed by William has returned to square one again.
This made the boy feel a little incredible, and William had thought that this attempt to change the plot would make it impossible for Harry to go there for a while.
William, who was thinking intently, didn't notice that the girl's face looked a little red, and he wondered if it was because this was the first time she had asked a boy out.
"That's not the point, William. The point is that we then went to the forbidden corridor on the fourth floor to avoid Filch. In the room at the end of the corridor, there was a big dog with three heads guarding something. ”
"The big dog with three heads should have been raised by Hagrid, the ranger of Hogwarts. I heard him talk about this dog, and his name was Louwe.
The three heads suggest that it may have some Hellhound's bloodline, which means that its teeth are highly poisonous and a dangerous creature.
That means you should stay away from it, Hermione. I know you're curious about what's in there, but you should restrain your curiosity, it's none of your business what's inside.
Did you know that sometimes the more you know, the more dangerous your situation is? William said to Hermione with some seriousness.
After learning that Harry was likely to have a Dumbledore shadow in his upbringing, the boy didn't want Hermione to be as ignorant as the original book was involved in these complicated matters.
"I know, that's what I told Harry. But I'm just a little curious. It can be seen that the girl is still a little unwilling.
When William saw this, he didn't say anything more, after all, everything that should be said had already been said, and if the girl insisted on going her own way, William couldn't do anything.
"That's right, William." As if thinking of something, the girl's face was a little red, and it seemed that she had finally mustered up her courage for a long time.
"I noticed that you often go to the library to study, I, can I come with you? I have a lot of things I haven't figured out about what I learned in school, can I ask you for advice? ”
William was also a little surprised, but it wasn't a big deal, so the boy agreed.
"Of course, but we have a full class this afternoon, and we have to go to Professor Flitwick in the evening, so we probably won't have time to go to the library. Tomorrow, I'll go to the library tomorrow morning. ”
William then said goodbye to the girl and walked towards the greenhouse outside the castle, where Ravenclaw classes were held outside today.
In addition to Professor Sprout's herbalism, the eaglets take flying lessons with Hufflepuff.
Professor Sprout's herbalism was as interesting as ever, because witches always introduced students to all sorts of magical plants, and today the professor is talking about a plant called the Devil's Web.
"The devil's web is a cunning, insidious plant, first discovered by Beaumont Marchbanks, who was also one of the founders of modern herbalism and made an indelible contribution to the development of herbalism.
It is worth mentioning that he also came from Hufflepuff House. Referring to the outstanding graduates of Hufflepuff House, the professor proudly introduced to the students in the greenhouse,
"The devil's net has a very cruel characteristic, that is, after catching the prey, the more the prey struggles, the faster it will tighten, and the degree will deepen sharply, until the prey completely loses the ability to resist.
So if you are unfortunate enough to get entangled in the devil's web, the first thing to do is to calm down, not to panic, and not to struggle violently, because this will make it tighten faster. ”
As he spoke, the professor reached into the devil's net in front of him, and soon, countless rattans wrapped around the professor's arm.
"Ah~" Several female exclamations sounded in the greenhouse, and even William was taken aback by the professor's bold behavior.
You know, the Devil's Net can easily crush the bones of an adult wizard's body, even the hardest skull.
And the food of the devil's net is mainly the juice that flows out of the prey that is crushed.
"Now, who can tell me. What is the Devil's Web afraid of? The speed at which the devil's net was wound was very fast, and in a moment it had wrapped around Professor Sprout's body, and was winding towards the professor's face, but the professor's voice was still very calm.
"Bright light and fire." Seeing that the devil's net was about to wrap around the professor's head, William hurriedly replied.
"Good, Ravenclaw plus five points!"
A bright light flashed from Professor Sprout, who had been wrapped in a large cocoon in the devil's web.
The devil's net on the professor's body retreated at an extremely fast speed, as if he had encountered a natural enemy. Soon it shrunk into a small ball in the basin.
"It's in the nature of the Devil's Web to be afraid of light, but in addition to that, the Devil's Net, like most other plants, is also very afraid of fire. So bright light and flame are its nemesis. ”
Next, Professor Sprout invited a few young wizards to come up and stretch out their hands to feel the wrapping of the devil's net, and he was very pleased that William calmly released a fluorescent spell to break free from the devil's net.
"Come and see William, you should learn more from him."
It seems that excellent students are very popular wherever they go.
Finally, before the end of class, the professor looked at the students in the greenhouse and said,
"You have come here to learn this knowledge about herbalism, and I hope you will keep this knowledge in mind, and don't think that this is not important, that too many famous wizards have died from this little knowledge.
In the future, you will need to learn about many more dangerous plants. I hope you will approach this subject with more rigor.
Class! ”
