Chapter 45: When will Gryffindor win the House Cup?

Professor Sprout, a good-natured witch, felt that Rove's suggestion was good and immediately took it.

At this time, Lockhart was still in the doorway, and he and Harry were not knowing what to do in depth.

Sprout leaves the greenhouse and invites him to come back after class to show the students how to treat plants.

She was worried about scaring away Lockhart, so she deliberately didn't say that she would treat the beating willow, but only said that it was a plant...... Sneezing grass.

Lockhart immediately agreed, patting his chest and saying that he would definitely show the little wizards what it was...... Real technology.

After Professor Sprout left, Lockhart put his arm around Harry's shoulders and said enthusiastically:

"See, Harry, even Professor Sprout has asked me for advice...... That's the trouble of excellence.

It's so good, I can't do without you anywhere, but for the sake of face, it's hard to refuse, what do you say I should do? ”

Lockhart decided to include this in his new book, My Days as a Professor at Hogwarts.

Harry couldn't understand what Lockhart was saying, he wrinkled his bitter melon face and wanted to go back to the greenhouse for class, but Lockhart still hugged his neck tightly and smiled:

"Harry, don't envy me too much, even to deliberately fly to Hogwarts in a car in order to be as famous as me!" Lockhart says:

"I know why you're doing this, it's obvious."

"Professor Lockhart, I ......" Harry was about to explain, but was ruthlessly interrupted.

"Harry, I gave you a taste of fame, didn't I?" Lockhart showed his shiny teeth, and he smiled:

"That day, at the Blotted Bookstore in Diagon Alley, you and I made the headlines in the newspapers, and I hooked you...... Can't wait to do it again?! ”

Lockhart crooked his mouth, looking like he had seen through Harry.

"Oh...... No, Professor......"

"Harry, I understand, it's only natural to taste it once and want to do it a second time...... I'm the one who gave you a taste of the sweetness too early, and it's bound to get you carried away...... Let you eat the marrow and know the taste, and it is difficult to extricate yourself. ”

Lockhart reached out and grabbed Harry's shoulder, blinked:

"How about coming to my office recently and imparting some of your experience personally? One-on-one, completely private tutorials. ”

Harry: "......"

……

……

When Professor Sprout returned to the greenhouse, he found that the students were all standing quietly, and no one was touching the magical plants.

She smiled with satisfaction, it seems that everyone still remembers the knowledge taught in the first class last year.

It is true that no young wizard dares to touch magic plants at will, because the third greenhouse is even more dangerous than the first greenhouse.

Poisonous tentacles hide in dark corners, its twigs secrete venom, and its spikes are also highly poisonous.

Not far away, on the shelf, hung a group of blood gourds, which were shaking like gourd babies, and would attract animals with their aroma.

But if they do get close, these gourds will spit out gourd seeds, shoot them into the bodies of animals, and then rely on the flesh of these animals to nourish the seeds, and sow seeds over long distances.

There is also a pink dancing grass that has pink leaves that sway in the wind and dances gracefully, but when you eat it, you will dance like crazy......

The whole greenhouse looks beautiful, but in fact it is full of murderous opportunities.

"We're going to repot a magic plant today." She pointed to the row of plants on the ground and asked:

"Who knows what it is?"

Before everyone could see the appearance of the plant, Hermione, who was self-propelled in the form of an encyclopedia, had already raised her white arms high.

"Miss Granger?"

"The leaves are oval, with white or blue flowers, and the fruit is round...... "Hermione replied accurately, "It's a mandrake!" ”

"Good, Gryffindor plus five points." Professor Sprout laughed:

"You can take a closer look and don't confuse the mandrake with the mandala flower, the two look similar before flowering, but the branches are in different positions......

The little wizards approached and admired the mandrake up close, and Sprout continued:

"One of the most striking features of mandrakes is that their rhizomes have curly divisions at the ends, and the overall shape is humanoid."

Professor Sprout waved his wand, and a blackboard appeared, on which appeared a figure of a mandrake rhizome, indeed like a shrunken human.

Justin raised his hand and said, "Professor, can you show us the real thing?" ”

Many of the students nodded in agreement.

"Absolutely!" Professor Sprout said happily:

"But before you show it, you must know, the danger of mandrake rhizomes, who can tell me?

Of course...... Miss Granger! ”

Professor Sprout raised his hand and motioned for Hermione to answer.

"The cry of a mandrake kills people." Hermione blurted out.

"Exactly, Gryffindor plus ten points!" Professor Sprout exclaimed:

"In Shakespeare's Othello, the greatest English dramatist, there is such a line......"

The witch coughed her throat and said in a chanting tone:

"What a nasty sound! It's like a scream when a mandrake is pulled out of the dirt! Humans will go crazy when they hear it, it's a curse......"

Many of the students looked at Professor Sprout with some surprise.

Her fluttering hair was buttoned up with a patched hat, and her clothes were stained with a lot of mud, which was a very simple image...... But I didn't expect to be a theater lover.

This strong contrast caught everyone off guard.

After the writer's description of the mandrake, Professor Sprout asked:

"There are still different opinions in the academic community about the screams of the mandrake, who knows?"

This time Hermione didn't raise her hand, which involved her knowledge blind spot.

Neville wanted to raise his hand, but halfway through it, he put it down, half scared and half unconfident.

Rove glanced at the round-faced boy and raised his arm with his elbow.

"Mr. Longbottom?"

"Yes...... Some herbalists believe that ...... Neville's voice trembled, "Mandrakes don't make sounds......"

Professor Sprout looked at Neville with encouraging eyes, and the round-faced boy stammered:

"It's a hallucinogenic toxin of mandrake...... Causing the poisoned person to have auditory hallucinations, which in turn gave the illusion that 'mandrakes can scream'......"

"Good, Hufflepuff Plus ten!" Professor Sprout smiled with satisfaction:

"Mr. Longbottom, you also read the latest article in the Journal of Magical Plants?"

"I ...... Professor...... I'll just take a look at ......."

"Don't be nervous, kid." Professor Sprout complimented, "You said it well. ”

Many of the students looked at Neville in shock, unexpectedly that this inconspicuous teenager, who usually looked clumsy and had always followed Scamander's side, seemed to have a wide range of herbalists.

"Yes, Neville!" Hannah poked Neville, "You're so good. ”

"Neville is really good." Rove, who is a good brother, immediately assisted: "Hannah, he got a perfect score in herbal medicine last semester, if you don't understand anything, you can ask him." ”

"That's great." Hannah grinned.

Neville blushed a little, smiled shyly, and gave Rove a grateful look, who winked at him.

"Since the rhizomes of mandrakes are so dangerous, who knows how to safely pull mandrakes out of the pot?" Professor Sprout continued.

Hermione hurriedly raised her hand and said, "It's usually ear plugging with earmuffs or beeswax." ”

"That's right, Gryffindor plus five points!" Professor Sprout smiled, "Anything else?" ”

Hermione shook her head.

Professor Sprout looked around to see that no one answered, and asked, "Mr. Scamander, do you know?" ”

Rove said softly, "You can remotely order the swallowdogs to dig out the mandrake, they are immune to the screaming sound of the mandrake, and they can also stop the mandrake from screaming." ”

"Very good, Hufflepuff plus five points!"

Hermione looked at Rove pitifully and sighed softly, two fists were no match for four hands.

Will she still be able to win the House Cup once in her lifetime?

Damn it!
