Hogwarts Kryptonian.

Chapter 59 Mandrakes
Although the group of Slytherins had no interest in Harry and Ron's inexplicable disappearance between platform nine and three-quarters and the express train, the worried atmosphere coming from Gryffindor, It still affected the whole car.

In the end, the Slytherin students stopped talking about the light talk of summer vacation.

In this way, the quiet express train arrived at the Hogwarts platform.

Lu Yun kept paying attention when he got out of the car, Harry and Ron did not appear on the platform.

Later, at the school's opening dinner, he still didn't see these two people.

The Sorting Hat is still the same as last year, singing inarticulate songs and stuffing dozens of new students into different houses.

In addition to Ron's younger sister Ginny, Lu Yunkai also met someone he knew.

A girl with gray hair and big eyes.He met her at Ollivander's wand shop last year to buy a wand with her father. It was from this girl that Lu Yunkai first heard the word Soul Eater lynx.

Lu Yunkai couldn't remember her name, but Professor McGonagall, who was in charge of announcing the list of freshmen, reminded him that this girl was called Luna.

Ginny followed her brothers into Gryffindor without any accident, and Luna into Ravenclaw.

After that, Dumbledore introduced this year's new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor in his speech.

Lu Yunkai thought that some middle-aged female fan of Gerald Lockhart would appear in the professor's seat in the auditorium, but he didn't expect that he actually saw Lockhart himself...

Although a group of female students sitting in the audience were crazy about Harold's so-called "wizard's most charming smile", Lu Yunkai felt that he hated this greasy middle-aged man to the extreme.

And, he's not the only one.

"That Lockhart is really thick-skinned."

After a big meal, he returned to the lounge, sat cross-legged on the bed and packed the suitcase, and Lu Yunkai heard the complaints of his roommate Blaise.

"That's right! Being a teacher and taking the opportunity to sell your own books is expensive."

Lu Yunkai agreed.

"It's not the price. I heard my mother tell him that many of his boasted 'records' were actually stolen from others."

"Oh? What do you mean?"

"I heard from my mother that one of her husbands worked in the Ministry of Magic and once investigated a magical creature's troubles. During the initial investigation, it was obviously an old witch who got rid of the creature, but after a month, she came back again. Visiting, the old witch somehow said that she didn't do it, but this Lockhart popped up and said he did it."

"...Is there such a thing? Does the Ministry of Magic care?"

"No one cares about such trivial matters." Blaise shook his head, "He is popular!"

"It's too much!" Lu Yunkai sighed.

"When my mother took me to buy books before, she said that this year the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts actually used Lockhart's book as a textbook, which might affect our study. Fortunately, we are only in the second grade, even if It won't have too much impact." Blaise nodded, "I just don't know how long he will stay at Hogwarts."

"Forget it, don't talk about him."

Lu Yunkai took the last bit of things out of the suitcase, and then finished them all with a levitation spell and tidying spell.

"Are you going out?"

"Well, I'm going to see senior sister Li teach the new students, and see if there are any seeds of greatness." Lu Yun laughed.

"Okay." Hearing what Lu Yunkai said, Blaise also remembered the first sentence the two said last year, and laughed.

Lu Yunkai walked out of the dormitory, glanced at the lounge, and saw Senior Fali who was chatting under the banner of the college, and several freshmen trembling in front of her.

There was also the Malfoy trio laughing and pointing in the distance.

Lu Yun walked over with a smile.

"Is it so funny? Last year we were pretty much the same." Lu Yunkai said hello, grabbed a candy that was on Malfoy's hand, and threw it into his mouth.

"We're not laughing at that." Malfoy's smile grew wider. "It's Potter and Weasley."

"Oh? What happened to them?"

"Just now I stayed in the auditorium for a while, and when I came back, I saw the two of them sneaking into the school, and was caught by Filch." Gore next to him had a big smile on his face, "I'm a little curious I just eavesdropped on it, and it seems that they drove a modified flying car to the school, and they hit the Whomping Willow in the backyard of the school."

"...a flying car??" Lu Yunkai was taken aback.

"Magic is added to Muggle things!" Malfoy said with a smile, "Hey, someone is going to be unlucky!"

"Why did the two of them drive to school?" Lu Yunkai's face was full of absurdity, "I saw them both at King's Cross Station!"

"Who knows! Maybe they just want to show off!" Malfoy shook his head nonchalantly, "I think they might be fired this time."

"Expulsion shouldn't be a problem, right? That's Harry Potter after all." Crabbe shook his head disapprovingly, "Dumbledore can forgive him."

"Even if they are not expelled, I guess there is no hope for Finnish Academy Cup this year. Why don't these two people deduct [-] points from them?" Gore said with a smile.

"Really..."

Lu Yunkai didn't know what to say, and sighed lightly.

At this time, the prefect's lecture over there was over, and a group of ignorant freshmen started wandering around in the lounge.

Malfoy brought Goyle and Crabbe closer, as if he wanted to find a little brother.

Lu Yunkai, who was originally here to watch the fun, lost all interest in watching the fun at this time.

The Whomping Willow mentioned by Malfoy just now, I saw it in the backyard when I took pictures with Daphne in the school before the summer vacation, a dry tree without even leaves, and in "Hogwarts, a piece of school history In ", Lu Yunkai knows the origin of this tree even more.

Not only does this tree have a long history, it is also a key protected "cultural relic" of the school. More importantly, this tree is also extremely offensive to wizards.

Driving a car into it, Lu Yunkai was worried about how much Harry and Ron were injured.

It's just that at this point in time, it's impossible for him to go to Gryffindor to inquire about the news...

Kris the dead cat!I don't know where to go when I need it!

Lu Yunkai let out a long sigh.

……

The new school year has just begun in an uneasy atmosphere.But it didn't last long.

Early the next morning, while eating breakfast in the dining room, a howling letter brought by an owl made the atmosphere instantly joyful.

Ron was scolded bloody by his mother in front of the whole school.

Seeing Ron's aggrieved expression of wanting to cry but not tears, even Lu Yunkai couldn't help laughing, not to mention Malfoy and the others who were already gloating beside him.

But this made Lu Yunkai feel relieved, at least Harry and Ron were not injured or fired.And Ron was not directly taken home by his mother, which meant that although Mrs. Weasley scolded him, it was only enough to scold him.

After breakfast, a group of students rushed to the classroom of herbal medicine class, Professor Sprout's greenhouse, with this sense of joy that did not dissipate.

The first class at the beginning of the school year was to help Professor Sprout transplant mandrakes.

In fact, the classroom teaching content such as plant transplantation is an important part of the herbal medicine class. Last year, Lu Yunkai and the others carried out similar work at least seven or eight times.It is indeed a good teaching method to understand the characteristics, functions, and precautions of the transplanted plants, and then transplant and cultivate them by yourself.

For example, before they started transplanting, they understood that mandrakes are divided into males and females. Their roots will make piercing screams. Listening directly without protection will cause people to be dizzy. The juice of mandrake rhizomes can be used to crack Strong petrification state.

Then, it comes to the part of enhancing cognition through practice.

This class is destined to make all the students firmly remember the mandrake...

The replacement of mandrake soil requires the cooperation of two people: one person holds the mandrake throughout the whole process, pulls it out of the original pot, and presses it into the new pot, while the other person is responsible for cleaning and filling the soil.

It's easy to say, but the problem is that the grass roots of the mandrake are exactly like a bear baby, and boys with less strength may not be able to grasp it.

All of a sudden, the sound of jingling flower pots cracking in the classroom was one after another, what a commotion!
But in the call of the grass roots of the mandrake, the sound of the flower pot has no sense of existence at all.

Even with the thick earmuffs on, the ear-piercing screams still caused chaos in the classroom.

There are some easier ones here.

Like where Hermione is.

Another example is the group of Daphne and Lu Yunkai.

Originally, Lu Yunkai was with Blaise, but before starting to work, Millison ran over and changed Lu Yunkai to be next to Daphne.

Although Millicent claimed that it was difficult for the two girls to do this job, Lu Yun saw clearly that Blaise was carrying the flowerpot, while Millicent was holding it there, screaming and writhing. The Mandrake, don't say it, Lu Yunkai thinks it's safer than letting Blaise do it.

Lu Yunkai, who was assigned to a group with Daphne, went smoothly as expected.

A month of getting along has made the tacit understanding between the two a lot more.Harry and Hermione on the opposite side had just changed a flower pot of Mandrakes, while Lu Yunkai and Daphne's three pots had been changed here.

Then, after helping Slytherin earn five extra points, the two dismissed the get out of class early under the envious eyes of others in the classroom...
