Chapter 46 Hermione, have you decided on your bet?
Professor Sprout explained the properties of mandrake for a while, and then asked the students to pick up the earmuffs from the stools.
Everyone scrambled for it, but no one wanted to get the pair of pink fluffy earmuffs.
Hermione snatched back three earmuffs, handed one to Neville, and gave the pink earmuff that no one wanted to Rolf. She smiled evilly and said: "Put it on quickly!"
"Thank you!" Luof rolled his eyes at the girl and put on pink earmuffs.
Facts have proved that whether you are handsome or not has nothing to do with your hairstyle, but only your face... In the same way, the earmuffs that everyone thought were ugly looked better after Luof put them on.
Many female students covered their mouths, looked at the blond boy with bright eyes, and screamed: "Wow, how cute!"
Hermione muttered, pursed her lips, and hurriedly put on her earmuffs...she couldn't hear anymore, so she wasn't bothered anymore.
Professor Sprout also wore earmuffs. She rolled up her sleeves, firmly grasped a blade of grass, and pulled it up hard.
What was pulled out of the soil was not a grass root, but a very ugly baby with leaves growing on its head. Its skin was light green with spots on it.
Professor Sprout took out a large flower pot from under the table, stuffed the mandrake into it, and buried it in moist dark compost until only the clusters of leaves were exposed.
She patted the mud on her hands, took off her earmuffs, and said calmly:
"Our mandrakes are just seedlings, and hearing their cries, although not fatal, will make you unconscious for a few hours.
So wear the earmuffs tightly and don’t take them off…Okay, let’s get started.”
Repotting mandrakes may seem simple, but in practice it is... even simpler.
Rolf pulled out the mandrake and saw that it was twisting and refusing to cooperate, so he grabbed its leaves and swung it back and forth like a swing.
Rove swayed dozens of times, like playing basketball, and made several crotch dribbling movements. Finally, with a beautiful little hook, the mandrake accurately landed on the edge of the flower pot...
Three-point strike!
Fortunately, Rolf caught the mandrake in time and prevented it from falling to the ground, but the little guy still fainted on the spot.
Covered by the crowd, Professor Sprout did not notice that Rolf was abusing her precious 'daughter', and only saw that he was the first to complete the repotting.
Sprout knocked on the blackboard, and a row of small words appeared on it:
Sixteen seconds...Rolf Scamander breaks the record for fastest repotting...Hufflepuff adds five points!
Hermione, Neville and Hannah in the same group were all dumbfounded... How the hell is this okay?
After Rolf finished changing the basin, it was the other three's turn to try, and he had to wake up the unconscious Mandrake again.
The mandrake woke up extremely angry. It gnashed its teeth and roared, hoarse and irritable, and kicked its feet randomly.
Hermione also wanted to use love to influence Mandrake, holding it in her arms like a child, but she almost got her finger bitten.
Rove took out a stick in time and put it in Mandrake's mouth. The stick also had a row of bite marks.
The young wizards who saw this scene took a deep breath, and the students who originally had bold ideas suddenly became more honest.
The mandrake bit the stick, and the juice from the root flowed out of its mouth. Rolf took out a small cup and quickly caught it.
The juice of mandrake rhizomes has a sedative and hypnotic effect and is a good potion ingredient.
Luofu's repotting speed is very fast and his skills are sophisticated, but others are not so fast.
Justin was bitten on the finger and he screamed loudly. Unfortunately, everyone was wearing earmuffs and no one noticed this scene.
Ron's earmuffs were accidentally knocked off by Harry, and he fell to the ground unconscious.
McMillan's mandrake ran towards the depths of the greenhouse. He hurriedly chased after it and was entangled in a poisonous tentacle.
Professor Sprout was very busy and needed to deal with various emergencies. It was not until the end of get out of class that everyone was exhausted and changed the flower pots.
Lockhart was very punctual. He walked into the greenhouse, brushed his hair, and said with a smile:
"At the invitation of Professor Sprout, let me show you my knowledge in herbal medicine."
"Come on, everyone, follow me." Professor Sprout waved his arm and walked towards the outside of the greenhouse.
"Hey, didn't you say cure sneezeweed?" Lockhart looked confused.
He just went to the library to borrow a few books and made a temporary surprise, so that he could appear as professional as possible when answering.
"No, I've already cured the sneezeweed." Sprout smiled and said, "Professor Lockhart, I want you to help me cure the whomping willow."
"Just before class, didn't you tell everyone that the Whomping Willow can be cured... Come on, everyone give Professor Lockhart some applause."
"..."
The students all applauded collectively, the atmosphere was full of excitement, and then they followed Sprouto happily toward the Whomping Willow.
Lockhart was really on the verge of tears. He was just being polite. How could he take it seriously?
But the atmosphere had reached this point, and he couldn't show any sign of failure, so he had to bite the bullet and follow him.
The students walked across the grass and came to the edge of the school.
Rolf approached Professor Sprout and asked in a low voice: "Professor, is the resurrection potion prepared with Mandrake useful for blood-cursed orcs?"
"Blood-cursed orcs?" Professor Sprout was stunned: "Do you know a wizard who has been cursed with blood?"
"Yes, but that man has completely turned into an animal."
"It's difficult, but blood-cursed orcs are too rare, and no one has studied them deeply." Professor Sprout narrowed his eyes and said:
"The magic potion made from mandrake might be able to temporarily restore the blood-cursed orcs to their human form... You can give it a try."
The resurrection potion made from mandrake is a very effective restoration agent that can restore cursed or deformed people to their original state. It may have a certain effect on blood-cursed orcs.
Rolf thought deeply, it seemed that he needed to get Nagini back from Newt.
"What are bloodcursed orcs?" Hermione asked quietly.
"A kind of wizard who is under a blood curse. They will change between animals and humans, and finally become animals forever." Rove explained:
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "And this curse is only inherited in female offspring."
Rolf was explaining the Blood Curse Orcs to Hermione. At this time, everyone stopped and stopped slightly away from the Whomping Willow.
The whomping willow looked very miserable, wrapped in many bandages, like a disabled person.
Everyone looked at Lockhart expectantly. He did not dare to go over, but Professor Sprout stood behind him and gave him a gentle push.
Lockhart was caught off guard and took a few steps forward, but the tree did not move. He tentatively moved forward, but still there was no movement.
Could it be that he was too seriously injured and couldn't move?
Lockhart's self-confidence returned. He walked towards the Whomping Willow in a swagger, turned around and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, I have some attainments in herbalism..."
Before Lockhart could finish speaking, the branch of the Whomping Willow suddenly fell down suddenly.
Lockhart heard the sound of breaking through the air and hurriedly fell backwards, fell and rolled sideways several times.
After rolling around, he ignored his grace and stood up and rushed towards the students in a hurry.
But more willow sticks came, like whips, lashing out hard, and a bloody groove instantly appeared on Lockhart's face.
He screamed and fell heavily to the ground, like a dusty sparrow.
Lockhart turned over, raised his wand and shouted, "Fire."
But the wand was directly hit by the wicker and fell to the ground. He was also knocked unconscious by a branch.
Professor Sprout sighed, feeling even more incompetent than she imagined. She raised her wand and pointed it at the unconscious Lockhart and said, "Armor for protection."
A magic barrier appeared in front of Lockhart, helping him block the Whomping Willow's attack. Professor Sprout waved his wand again, causing Lockhart's body to fly over.
"It seems that Professor Lockhart is not good at herbal medicine." Professor Sprout looked at the group of stunned students and said:
"Send him to the school hospital quickly. Our Defense Against the Dark Arts professor was injured on the first day. Madam Pomfrey must be very... happy."
Hermione was a little dumbfounded.
Rolf patted the girl on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Hermione, have you decided on the bet?"
