Chapter Seventy-Three: The Howling Letter and the Mandrake
Back in the common room, Seamus publicizes Harry and Ron's feat. The wizards of Gryffindor were sensational.
Tifa went to bed, she was excited after a day and was a little tired. Ginny was still in the common room, worried about Ron and even more worried about Harry.
Harry and Ron were warmly welcomed back in what was probably the most unusual way to go to school in recent years. The two sneak back to the dorm room to hide from Hermione and Percy's education.
At breakfast the next day, everyone sat together, with Nyx on Tifa's left and Ginny on her right, and the two girls became good friends, sharing some rumors about Hogwarts while eating.
Opposite the Knicks is Hermione, who is educating Ron and Harry at his side. An owl slammed into the plate in front of Hermione. Splashed Hermione's porridge, and the unfinished breakfast was over. The Knicks were also affected, but not as badly as Hermione.
The owl belonged to the Weasleys, who were very old, but the Weasleys didn't have the money to get a new one. It had a red letter in its mouth, and Ron saw it and muttered "It's over, it's over"
Thinking he was talking about owls, Hermione comforted, "It's okay, it's still alive." ”
Ron looked at the envelope, speechless, he saw a vision on the envelope, it was a volcano flowing with magma, and there was a roaring sound in his ears, as if the volcano was about to erupt in the next moment.
Neville, next to the Knicks, reminded, "You'd better turn it on quickly." ”
Frightened by the vision, Ron didn't make any moves, and Harry looked at the red envelope and asked, "What's that?" ”
Neville replied, "Howl letter, once my grandmother sent me one, I ignored it, and it turned out to be ......"
"The result?" Harry asked.
The next moment he knew the consequences, the red envelope began to smoke, and a loud voice rang out in the auditorium.
"What did you all do......
Molly Weasley yelled at Ron. The little wizards around looked over, wondering who had received the roaring letter.
Before his voice disappeared, he whispered softly to Ginny, "Congratulations......"
The young wizards began to communicate, and the news that only Gryffindor knew about Harry and Ron driving to school quickly spread.
The roaring letter burned and landed on the table, Tifa carefully poked it with a spoon, she was not only not scared but also excited, turned to Nix and asked, "Brother, is this magic?" Can you do it? ”
Nicks squinted at her and said, "The only person who can get me to write a letter with yelling is you, do you want me to write one?" ”
Tifa immediately shook his head, quickly finished breakfast, and said to Nix, "Brother, I'm going to class." ”
"Wait." Nicks stopped her and asked, "What was your first class?" ”
"Transfiguration." Ginny Tifa replied on one side.
Nix explained: "Be on time, listen carefully, and don't make trouble." After thinking about it, he added: "It doesn't matter if you are deducted points, I believe Hermione can add it back." ”
Hermione said angrily, "Knicks, you're going to teach her badly, and I'm not adding points to deduct it for you." ”
Tifa nodded yes and went to class with Ginny.
After breakfast, thanks to the yelling letter, Hermione is no longer educating Harry and Ron, and the target shifts to the Knicks, who offends her with the phrase "Hermione can add it back".
Herbology is taught in the greenhouse, and the beating willow next to the greenhouse is wrapped in bandages, and Nicks thinks that he will find time to go to the beating willow to have a look, and the fallen branches may also be used as potion materials.
In front of the greenhouse, Lockhart pestered Professor Sprout to say something, and Professor Sprout was visibly impatient.
Nicks found Lockhart pathetic. Lockhart wants to be a dazzling person, but unfortunately he has no talent, and after the success of writing the book, he began to be blindly arrogant, always wanting to show his hand, but he didn't have that strength.
He saw Harry say a bunch of do's and don'ts, and finally walked away.
Herb class learns to repot mandrakes, Nicks and Hermione as a group, and before starting, Professor Sprout asks a few questions.
Hermione raised her hand and lowered it. She originally wanted to answer the question to add points, but thinking of what the Knicks said in the morning, she put down her hand again and stopped answering the question.
The Knicks grabbed Hermione's hand and raised it, Hermione stared at the Knight angrily, and the Knicks didn't squint. Professor Sprout nodded Hermione to answer the question, adding ten points after Hermione had answered correctly.
Hermione sat down and whispered, "I'm not going to deduct any extra points for you." ”
"How can it be said that it is deducted for us, the extra points are to get the Academy Cup, how could we have succeeded without your hard work last year." Nicks smiled and comforted.
Hermione snorted and didn't bother with Nix.
Professor Sprout told the crowd to put on earmuffs and pull out the mandrake seedlings.
Nick looked at the seedling and sensed through the system that it could be used as potion material, the material for the reader potion.
He was stunned, just now Hermione replied that the mandrake effect is used to make a powerful recovery agent, but he didn't expect it to be able to replace the reader's potion material, the difference is a bit big.
Professor Sprout demonstrated how to repot the mandrake, warned the crowd of precautions, and let the little wizards do it.
Hermione put on the earmuffs and pulled out the mandrake seedlings, which were reluctant to leave the dirt and moved wildly. Nick looked at the seedling and tried the pharmacist's ability to control the plant, and the mandrake immediately stopped moving.
While Nicks was wondering if this thing was the ginseng fruit from Journey to the West, Hermione took the quiet mandrake to Professor Sprout. Nyx, who came back to his senses, grabbed her.
Hermione gestured, meaning that the one might die if it didn't move. The Knicks immediately moved the mandrake, saying that he could salvage it. Hermione grabbed the mandrake and hit her a few times, thinking that the mandrake was playing dead to lie to her.
The Knicks gestured for a long time, finally making Hermione understand that he could control the mandrake. Hermione threw the mandrake into Knicks' arms. Nicks controls the mandrake, slowly digging up the soil and planting himself in it and burying it.
The mandrake doesn't want to be pulled out, but when it is pulled out, it doesn't want to go back. It's hard for the little wizards to change pots, and Neville wants to try it when he sees Knicks' easy method. But his abilities are not the same as those of the Nix, and the mandrake that he unleashes grows rapidly, does not have enough fertilizer, and wilts rapidly when it matures.
Professor Sprout saw Neville's problem, walked over and took Neville's mandrake, and when he saw that the plant was finished, he shook his head and left, she was used to Neville's problems.
Neville gave up taking shortcuts with his abilities and opted for the normal method.
At the end of class, everyone was sweating profusely, but only the Knicks remained calm. He took control of a mandrake seedling and walked out of the greenhouse without the professor noticing.
