Thanks to Crazy Dave's plant breeding heritage, even though the mandrake can sing, dance, and probably do other things, it's still a plant. Ryan mastered the mandrake after observing it for a few minutes.
After that, he pulled it out, repotted it, and filled it with soil all at once. When he finished, he found that others were still struggling with the mandrakes in their hands.
Yes, it was a fight. Ryan saw more than one classmate get his finger bitten by mandrake.
Ryan's neat act of repotting the mandrake earned Gryffindor another five points. After the herbal medicine class, the man took the opportunity to ask Professor Sprout about something he had never thought about clearly in his previous life.
The problem is that in the original book, so many students were petrified and had to wait for the mandrake in the greenhouse to mature instead of buying mandrake outside.
Of course Ryan's question is why he has never seen anyone selling mandrake outside.
Professor Sprout replied with some pride, at least in the whole of Europe, only Hogwarts has successfully planted Mandrake, and wild Mandrake can only be easily discovered when it is mature. But mature
In the wild, Mandrake will crawl out of the soil and find a suitable place to bloom and bear fruit. Therefore, in the market, Mandrake can only be seen for sale occasionally.
Ryan thanked the professor for his answer and ran back to the castle to take a shower and change clothes. He felt that the mandrake plant was too much like the legendary ginseng doll. He planned to exchange his own plant for a mandrake plant with Professor Sprout.
Do some research.
In the subsequent Transfiguration class, Ryan and Hermione each scored five points for Gryffindor. They successfully turned the beetle into a beautiful button. But considering that they had spent a lot of time practicing in the grocery store, Hermione's whole
He had not used a wand during the summer vacation, and Ryan once again felt the pressure from the God of Learning on him. This is because parents, both Chinese and foreign, care about their children's studies, but unfortunately, Ryan's parents only know Hermione, a classmate, and they always lose slightly after comparison.
I feel really bad.
After lunch, Ryan faced the last class of the day. To be honest, if every professor didn't have the right to deduct points, he would even have the urge to skip class.
That's right, the next class is Gilderoy Lockhart, the famous novelist, memory thief, third-level medalist of the Order of Merlin, honorary member of the Anti-Dark Arts Alliance, and five-time winner of the "Wizard Weekly" Most Charming Smile Award.
He is the only one who can turn a class into a fan meeting, let alone later turn the meeting into a disaster.
But it was impossible not to go to class, so Ryan could only go to the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom with several thick and heavy novels in an extremely unhappy mood.
As soon as he entered the classroom, Ryan found that the classroom was noisier than usual. Many girls had excited expressions on their faces and chattered with each other about Lockhart. It felt like the atmosphere was similar to that of some celebrity signings.
.
Fortunately, these fans occupied the seats at the front of the classroom, so Ryan was able to find a corner at the back of the classroom to sit down. Then he piled seven books in front of him to block his view and prepared to fish in class.
The class bell rang and after all the classmates were seated, Lockhart walked in from outside the classroom. As soon as he entered the door, Lockhart cleared his throat to quiet down everyone. Then he reached out and picked up a young boy sitting in the front row.
The wizard held his copy of "Walking with Trolls" in his hand, showing the photo of himself winking on the cover.
"I," he pointed to his photo and said with a wink, "Gilderoy Lockhart, Order of Merlin, Third Class, honorary member of the Alliance Against Dark Arts, five-time winner of the Wizarding Weekly Most Charming Smile Award
But I don’t talk about that, I don’t drive away all the female ghosts by smiling!”
"If you don't talk about this, what are you doing now?" Ryan complained silently in his heart.
After he finished speaking, he waited for a moment, expecting everyone to cheer. Sure enough, many little witches laughed. The laughter seemed to give him strength, and he continued to say proudly:
"I see it's great that you all bought my complete set of works. I think we'll take a little test today. Don't be afraid just to see how you read and how much you understand..."
It was this complete set of books that almost bankrupted Ron and his family. This kind of monopoly money-scamming business was so immoral. Ryan couldn't help but put a cross on Lockhart in his heart. Originally, he felt that this person was quite good in the book.
It's annoying. Now that I meet the real person, I find that the real person is even more annoying than in the book.
For the next 30 minutes, everyone was taking Lockhart's questionnaire. It was full of questions such as what color Lockhart likes, what is Lockhart's birthday, and other similar fan club membership tests. Could it be that
Does Lockhart really plan to develop his fan club in school? Ryan thinks the wizarding world should also ban this kind of commercial behavior from entering schools.
To make matters worse, after spending half an hour barely compiling three large test papers, Ryan had to endure ten minutes of Lockhart's narcissistic comments on the test papers.
Hermione got five points for answering all the questions correctly. Ryan looked at Hermione in the seat next to him in surprise. Hermione covered her mouth with a hand and mouthed to Ryan: "I'm just a habitual memory. I've seen it."
Everything in the book."
"Hahaha, very good! Now, let's get down to business..." He bent down and took out a large cage covered with a cloth from behind the podium and placed it on the table.
"Now beware! It is my job to teach you to defend yourself against the most evil things the wizarding world has ever known! You will face the most terrifying things in this classroom. But remember, as long as I am here, you will be safe from them.
Any harm. All I ask is that you remain calm."
When Ryan saw the cage, he immediately packed up all his things. He didn't want his things to be messed up by the elf.
After a dramatic performance, Lockhart opened the door to the cage containing the Cornish elves. One thing Lockhart was right about was that these little guys were indeed dangerous.
Although they have no magical abilities and only like to play pranks rather than harm others, they are not as kind-hearted creatures as the Smurfs. They are small in size, mobile and flexible, have extraordinary physical strength, are cunning enough and have team spirit. When dozens of people
When the elves gathered in a small space, even many adult wizards were unable to deal with them. But Lockhart actually let them out just to show off.
Is chaos and disaster inevitable? No, Ryan doesn't think so.
