Chapter 47: The Devil's Web
In the herb class, Professor Pomona took out a lot of plants, as well as some mushrooms, well, mushrooms in a nutshell.
Of course, there are some interesting plants such as the Protector Tree, a magical Yamanashi tree that protects those who touch its trunk from dark creatures. Wizards like to use it as a magic talisman to ward off evil spirits.
Of course, Professor Pomona also mentioned some dangerous plants, such as poisonous, dangerous poisonous tentacles, mandrakes that kill people by crying, and the small pot of devil's nets that Professor Pomona is now holding.
"It's a young devil's web. Pomona picked up her wand and touched the shoots of the devil's net, and the sprouts immediately stretched out their tendrils and wrapped around the wand.
"As you can see, once you get close to them, the devil's web will wrap around the creatures that are close to it, and when it grows to a certain extent, it can easily cause injury or death to the characters. When you are caught in the devil's net, it is best not to struggle, or the vines will become tighter and tighter. ”
Professor Pomona flicked his wand to let everyone see the characteristics of the Devil's Web.
"The devil's network likes a dark and damp living environment, so light and warmth naturally become its natural enemy. Professor Pomona's wand burst into small flames, forcing the devil's net back in an instant.
"As you can see, flames can pose a threat to it, and in the event of an attack by the Devil's Net, it is very effective to set fire to them in the event of an attack by the Devil's Net. ”
Everyone picked up the quill and took notes, and Pomona was not in a hurry, and waited for everyone to finish writing their notes before continuing, "People who don't know about the devil's net may mix it with crab claw orchid, which needs special attention......
The herbal medicine class is very practical, Pomona roughly introduces everyone to various magic plants, so that everyone benefits a lot, this class quickly attracts everyone's interest, the only trouble is that the two classes are taken together, the class time is very long, everyone has been standing in class, and the legs are a little numb.
When the bell rang for the end of class, most of the students breathed a sigh of relief.
Professor Pomona didn't give homework, which was good news for everyone.
"Defence Against the Dark Arts class in the afternoon. "Jordan Lee looked a little excited, and Defense Against the Dark Arts was one of the courses that most freshmen look forward to.
"Did you hear that?" said to the other three as George left Greenhouse One, "the Defence Against the Dark Arts class is cursed, and the professors who teach this subject will always encounter all kinds of bad luck, and they will quit every year, and none of them will teach for more than a year. ”
"Cursed. Albert knew what was going on.
The curse comes from Lord Voldemort, well, Tom, the Dark Lord who has the same name as their cat.
It is said that after Tom failed to apply for the Defense Against the Dark Arts professorship, he cursed the position with a grudge, wanting to eliminate a large number of Defense Against the Dark Arts professors, so that others would not dare to take over, and even more wanted Dumbledore to compromise.
"Yes, I heard that this is the case, it is said that a powerful wizard has placed a curse on this position, otherwise Professor Dumbledore's ability would have lifted the curse. ”
A curse that lasts for decades is enough to show the strength of the spellcaster.
"Now we can only hope for a little bit of strength from our new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor. Albert said as he walked.
Just after turning a corner, a foul smell hit me, and I happened to see Filch catching a third-year Gryffindor student who was throwing a big bomb into the hallway.
"What's going on?" Albert asked a student next to him, reaching out to cover his mouth and nose.
"The guy made a bet and lost the bet and was going to throw a big bomb in the hallway in Filch's presence. The senior student shook his head and walked away. No way, the smell of the big dung bomb is so bad that it can be called a biological gas bomb.
"It's really crazy!" Albert couldn't help but shake his head repeatedly, for some reason, he suddenly felt that Filch was still quite hard, and he probably felt tired when he encountered this situation.
"It's so cool. The twins' eyes lit up with eagerness, as they could see that Filch was so angry with the move.
Albert put his hand to his mouth, coughed lightly, and reminded, "Ahem, you also want to help the school hospital wash the night pot?"
The Weasley twins, who were still a little excited, suddenly wilted, wash the night pot, forget it!
Li Jordan reminded: "Actually, as long as you don't get caught, it's fine." ”
"With your current level, it's a bit difficult not to get caught. Albert continued to pour cold water on the two of them, "Unless you want to learn from the crazy guy over there." ”
On the way back to the auditorium, the twins didn't speak, and they didn't know what they were thinking.
"We decided. The two looked at each other and declared in understanding.
"Decide what?" Albert asked, looking up, confused.
"I decided to do that. The twins said in unison.
"Which thing?"
"Throw a big bomb at Filch's office. The twins were right.
When Albert heard this, he almost squirted the pumpkin juice in his mouth and pasted the faces of the two people opposite.
"Ahem. He covered his mouth and coughed dryly.
Li Jordan next to him also had a long mouth, and he didn't know what to say.
These two guys are inevitably ...... It's too dead!
"If you really want to do that, I can give you some...... A little suggestion. Albert thought for a moment and added, "But I haven't figured it out yet. ”
"Hey, why can't you ......" Jordan shook his head repeatedly, he finally understood a little bit why Albert was sorted into Gryffindor.
This guy is not small!
"Anyway, I'm curious you can still eat so much food at noon. Lee Jordan stiffly shifted the subject.
"Nonsense, I eat at seven o'clock in the morning, can I compare to what you guys eat after half past eight?" Albert couldn't help but roll his eyes at Lee.
Since there are few things to do in the morning, the British breakfast is still rich, so they are generally not very hungry until noon.
Eat little at noon, and sometimes don't even eat at all.
"You say, how should we hate Filch. "The twins are more focused on the immediate problem.
"You can't overdo it, but it's going to make Filch angry, right?" Albert glanced at the corner of the long table, where a certain dead creature had been released and was now surrounded by a crowd.
Li, who had just finished the meal, also gathered around to inquire about the news. Sure enough, too much curiosity is also a disease.
"Yes. The twins retracted their gaze and nodded.
"You're ready to be locked up. Albert asked again.
"Yes!" the two nodded in unison again.
