HP calls me Queen

Chapter 9 Mandrakes

The Sprout teacher didn't know what he had done before, there was a lot of mud on his clothes, if a Virgo was a clean freak, for example, Harry's aunt would faint when she saw her nails.But Gilderoy Lockhart was spotless from head to toe, with a flowing turquoise robe, and a turquoise top hat with a gold rim on top of his shiny blond hair.Of course, the small white teeth are still showing.

The appearance of this product is really deceiving!It's a pity not to be a star.Oh no, he is a star in the wizarding world.Delphine muttered secretly.

"Oh, hello!" Lockhart shouted to the students with a smile on his face. "I just showed Professor Sprout how to heal the Whomping Willow! But I don't want you to think that I am better at herbalism than I am." She is good at it! After all, she is your herbal medicine teacher, I just happened to see a few of these strange plants during my travels..."
  "Today the third greenhouse!" Professor Sprout said.She was obviously sullen, contrary to her usual cheerful demeanor.Obviously the time spent with Lockhart just now was not pleasant.

The little lions and little snakes were a little excited.For the entire first year, they only entered the first greenhouse, where some conventional herbs were grown.Even many of them are medicinal materials used by Muggles.The third greenhouse, according to senior students, will be much more interesting.But also more dangerous.But are children afraid of danger?Obviously not, especially the little lions.

Professor Sprout took a large key from his belt and opened the door.The students smelled a smell of damp soil and manure, mixed with a strong fragrance of flowers.The little snake and the little lion looked in, and the first thing they saw were flowers.The flowers were the size of umbrellas and hung from the ceiling.

Delphine felt that she had been a girl for too long and already had girlish emotions.For example, seeing beautiful flowers will be very exciting.

The little snake and the little lion walked into the greenhouse excitedly, and Harry wanted to go in with Ron and Hermione, but was stopped by Lockhart.

"Harry! I've been meaning to talk to you—Professor Sprout, you don't mind if he's two minutes late?" Lockhart said the last sentence to Professor Sprout.Delphine observed Professor Sprout's face, obviously she was very concerned.However, Lockhart was thick-skinned enough to pretend he didn't see it. While pulling the reluctant Harry out, he said, "Great, I'll send him back soon."

Delphine didn't know what Lockhart would say when he took Harry away, but she could make a rough guess.It's nothing more than all kinds of fame, fame, autographs, etc., showing off under the pretext of persuasion.

After a while, Harry came back.Delphine took a sneak peek. Harry's face was wooden, and his eyes were a little loose.It looked like it was stimulated by something.Delphine secretly sighed, the fighting power of the peacock man is extraordinary.

Harry sat down next to Ron and circled for Hermione.Only to find Hermione and Delphine sitting together on the other side.Ron seemed dissatisfied with this and turned his head away.It was Delphine who, seeing Harry looking this way, smiled at him.

Harry responded with a smile, and Professor Sprout was ready to start his lecture.

First, she pulled out a box and let it sit on a stool beside her.There are more than two dozen pairs of earmuffs in the box.Earmuffs are available in any color.Professor Sprout glanced around and said, "What we are going to do today is to repot the Mandrake. Before the actual operation, I would like to ask, does anyone know what a Mandrake is and what kind of plant it is? characteristics."

Hermione was the first to raise her hand, which was what everyone expected, since she always did it.Delphine also raised her hand afterward, and unexpectedly, Neville also raised her hand tremblingly.

"Okay, Mr. Longbottom will come first, and Miss Granger and Miss Lancetrange are ready to add." Professor Sprout was very happy that some students in his class were willing to speak, especially Na, who was usually quiet and timid. Wei actually raised his hand.

Professor Sprout knew Neville's parents, and was even on good terms for a while.Especially Neville's mother, who is also a witch who has made great achievements in herbal medicine.If he hadn't become an Auror, he might have become a pharmacist.Professor Sprout had a pretty good relationship with Neville's mother for a time.Professor Sprout knew about Neville's parents, and she was very willing to see Neville get out of the shadow of inferiority and cowardice as soon as possible.

"Hmm..." Neville stood up tremblingly, and Delphine noticed that his feet were trembling.However, he still tried his best to speak: "Man... Mandrake, also known as... Mandrake root, herbal plant, is... one kind of medicinal herb with recovery effect."

"Very good, five points for Gryffindor!" Professor Sprout nodded in satisfaction: "Is there anyone else to add?"

Delphine didn't raise her hand, she was watching Neville.Sitting down, Neville's face was flushed, and his body was trembling slightly.

Delphine didn't raise her hand, but Hermione did.Professor Sprout motioned and got up and added: "Mandrake root is a powerful recovery agent, used to restore people who have been deformed or cursed to their original state. Especially for people who have been hit The negative state of petrification and related spells have miraculous effects." At this point, she glanced at Daphne, showed an apologetic smile, and continued: "Well, I heard Daphne mention that, except for Medusa's In addition to petrification, the mandrake can remove all petrification effects."

Delphine smiled back at Hermione, signaling that she didn't care at all.

"Very good, five more points for Gryffindor!" Professor Sprout nodded in satisfaction: "Mandrake is an important part of most potions that remove negative effects. But it is also very dangerous. Who can tell me why?"

Hermione glanced at Daphne, who smiled and nodded to signal her to continue. Hermione immediately raised her hand, and then replied: "The roots of the mandrake will cry. Hearing its cry, you can Kill people!"

"That's right, Genlanfondo continues to add five points!" Professor Sprout's mood obviously improved because of Hermione and Neville's series of answers, and his usual smile appeared on his face again: "But our Mander Lacao are still very young, they are still babies. Their cries are not fatal yet, but a coma for an hour or two is unavoidable. So, I hope everyone will wear this in a while!" She first pointed to a row of The deep-bottomed tray said there were about a hundred greenish-purple seedlings lined up there.Then he pointed to the earmuffs that were placed beside him before: "One pair for everyone!"

There was a lot of looting, and some earmuffs were so ugly in color that no one wanted to take them.And then, no surprise, the ugliest one went to Neville.

Harry and Ron held their earmuffs in a daze. They still didn't know what Professor Sprout, Hermione, and Neville were talking about.The little purple seedling over there is the Mandrake, right?But what is the cry, the grass still cries?Mimosa?Obviously, things like previewing homework will not happen to the two of them.

"When I tell you to put on earmuffs, be sure to cover your ears tightly," said Professor Sprout, "and when it's safe to remove them, I'll give you two thumbs up. Well-- Put earmuffs on."
Although Harry and Ron didn't know what happened, they could still do it simply by being obedient.

Delphine also obediently put on the earmuffs, yes!Suddenly nothing was heard.This thing works great!

Professor Sprout, who had a pair himself, rolled up his sleeves, took hold of a clump of grass, and pulled it up with all his might.

Many girls felt their scalps tingling slightly, and Professor Sprout's movements reminded them of pulling their hair.

But then, the girls didn't bother to think about what they had.Many girls screamed, but no one could hear them with earmuffs.The reason for the scream was simple. What was pulled out of the soil was not grass roots, but a very ugly baby with leaves growing on his head.Well, now boys also have the association of pulling their hair.

The little baby in Mandola Grassroots is light green with spots on it. At this time, the little guy has a big mouth, and it seems to be yelling.However, with the protection of earmuffs, everyone did not hear the sound.

Professor Sprout took a large flower pot from under the table, stuffed the Mandrake in it, and buried him in dark, damp compost until only the clump of leaves stood out.She patted the mud off her hands, gave them two thumbs up, and took off her earmuffs.

All the lion cubs and snake cubs looked very wooden, even Delphine and Hermione.Only Professor Sprout looked normal, as if she just watered the sunflower just now: "Everyone must wear earmuffs when working. When it's time to pack up, I will try to get your attention. The four of us together tray—there are a lot of flower pots here—the compost is in the bag over there—the one on the side is a poisonous tentacle, be careful, everyone, it is teething.” The professor was talking on a spiky tree A slap on the crimson plant caused it to withdraw its tentacles that had crept toward her shoulder.

The little lion and the little snake still looked very wooden.

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

The little lion and the little snake finally moved.

Delphine and Hermione joined the two Gryffindor girls, while Harry and Ron teamed up with Moxie and Neville.

When Professor Sprout made it, everyone was stunned by the shape of the mandrake.But I didn't think it was such a difficult thing.It's not just pulling it out, changing the pot, burying some soil and applying some fertilizer.However, after some practical operation, it is not the case at all!

First of all, the root of the mandrake, the ugly boy, is huge!Buried in the soil itself is not easy to pull out.Then they obviously don't want to come out.It takes a lot of work to get them out.Of course, you can dig the soil first, it will be easier, but the premise is that you must wear dragon leather gloves!The ugly children of the mandrake can scratch and bite.

And when you have exhausted all your efforts and finally got it out and changed it to a basin, you will find out that if you don’t want to come out, you don’t want to come out, but it doesn’t mean that it plans to go back into the basin.If you pour soil on it, it will dance away.

Hermione and Delphine, who usually do well in class, were stunned by a few pots of pendala weeds.On the contrary, Harry and Ron's side, because of Neville's joining, it went smoothly unexpectedly.Neville didn't know what method he used, but when he pulled it out, it seemed a lot easier than Daphne and the others.Even when I put it in the pot again, I feel that the mandrake is much more well-behaved.

Delphine wanted to ask for advice, but everyone was wearing earmuffs and they were still a little far away.In addition, Hermione, who is competitive, obviously gnashed her teeth and had to do it independently.Delphine had no choice but to give up.

Finally, when the bell rang for the end of get out of class, the little snake and the little lions managed to complete the prescribed number of tasks.Everyone felt the pain in their backs and backs.The little snakes are not bad, there is only this class in the morning, so you can go back and have a rest.The little lions are miserable. Not only will there be classes, but also the transformation class taught by their dean McGonagall.
