Chapter 241 Why Not Ask About Magical Magic?
Hearing Ginny's grateful words.
Blake didn't feel surprised.
After all, she saw herself writing a letter to ask for help.
And Mr. Weasley is indeed just censoring now.
Instead of being thrown directly into Azkaban.
This led Ginny to believe that it was because of Blake's letter.
But in fact, Blake's letter didn't have much to say about intercession.
The most important thing is to let Grindelwald take advantage of this opportunity.
Let him legally transform some prohibited items in the future, and open a back door in advance.
Blake doesn't want anything he creates to be contraband in the future.
"You don't need to thank me, Ginny."
"Even if I had not written that letter, Mr. Weasley would not have been imprisoned in Azkaban.
"The position will not even be reduced. The worst outcome may be a fine."
"Because as far as I know, the modifications he made to that car were not illegal."
Ginny asked in surprise: "How do you know this?"
"It's simple, because I wanted to do the same thing as your father a long time ago."
“So I looked into the legislation on that.”
Blake shrugged and took a bite of the puff in his hand.
"Then I discovered something really interesting."
"That is, there are many subtle word games in those regulations."
"In other words, the people who established these laws and regulations seem to have intentionally left many legal loopholes that can be exploited.
"And as far as I know, the person who established these rules and regulations is your honey.
"So, your dad will be fine."
"I think he has already prepared for today."
Blake's words immediately put Ginny's heart at ease.
In fact, when Mrs. Weasley wrote back to her and said that her father was being censored.
Ginny was still very worried. "Two Zero Zero"
Although it is suspected to be because of Blake's letter.
His father was not dismissed and dealt with immediately.
But the result of the review is still unknown...
My father has always been the breadwinner of the family.
It was hard for her to imagine if her father was imprisoned in Azkaban.
What will happen to my mother...
What if dad was really imprisoned in Azkaban.
Ginny will never forgive her idiot brother Ronald!
Together with Harry Potter, whom she had admired since she was a child.
Her position in her heart was also affected.
On the train that day, Blake told her several ways.
It can solve the problem of them not getting on the bus.
However, there are obviously so many methods that can be easily thought of!
where are they?
But he chose the stupidest one!
This stupid choice almost caused the backbone of the family to fall.
"Thank you, Blake." Ginny's eyes were red.
She thought about the serious consequences this could have.
There was a moment of fear in my heart.
"Don't worry, Ginny. It's just like I said."
"This matter will be over soon."
"The Ministry of Magic...even those bastards who made huge mistakes of principle are fine."
"Your dad just modified some gadgets, what's the problem?"
Ginny breathed a sigh of relief and nodded.
It can be seen that she is completely relieved this time.
I don't know why, but Blake's words are always so easy to convince.
It seems that he was born with such a convincing temperament.
"Would you like some puffs?" Blake asked, "Eating some dessert will make you feel much better.
"Today is your first day at Hogwarts. You have to stay in a good mood to welcome the new world."
Ginny forced a smile, "No, Blake, I have to write a reply to my mother about your analysis just now.
"She's really worried. Thank you, Blake."
After Ginny left.
Cedric waved his fork and said, "I finally know why girls like you so much."
"Haha, you only know now?"
"That's because you have a good mouth! Even I think you are a good person, you bastard!"
"Good boy, are you swearing? Cedric, when will you accept that I am more popular than you because I am more handsome than you?"
"Only this point, I cannot agree with!"
The first class today is herbal medicine class.
Thanks to Blake's help last night.
Professor Sprout didn't have to get up early this morning to bandage the Whomping Willow.
This made her look very energetic.
Of course, if she wasn't accompanied by Lockhart.
Her mood will become more beautiful.
Lockhart has returned to his previous smooth, human-like appearance.
He changed into a flowing blue robe.
On top of her shiny blond hair, she wore a green top hat with a gold rim.
"Oh! Hello!" Lockhart shouted to the students with a cheerful face.
"I just showed Professor Sprout how to examine the Whomping Willow."
"Oh... I would like to add that last night, the seriously injured Whomping Willow recovered to health with my help... ahem, with my participation... "
Professor Sprout rolled his eyes, but because of his colleagues, it was difficult to expose his lies.
She turned around speechlessly and went to open the greenhouse door.
And Lockhart was bragging happily.
Suddenly he met Blake's half-smiling eyes.
Lockhart was so frightened that he quickly changed his lines.
The greenhouse door is opened.
The little wizards filed in.
Lockhart took Harry away and tortured the Savior's ears.
This is the first herbal medicine class of the school year.
It's a class that Gryffindor and Hufflepuff take together.
So, as usual, Miss Know-It-All stayed next to Blake.
Blake looked at the plants in the pots in the room.
A smile appeared on his face.
He was very familiar with these gadgets.
The main role of mandrake also flashed through his mind.
At this time, Harry slipped in from the door with a helpless expression.
Lockhart also left.
This guy also said that he also participated in healing the Whomping Willow, which is really interesting...
Hmm? Cure? Mandrake?
Blake suddenly seemed to think of something and fell into deep thought.
Professor Sprout stood behind a table in the middle of the greenhouse.
There are about twenty pairs of earmuffs of different colors on the table.
"We're repotting the Mandrake today."
"Now, who can tell me what properties my mandrake has?"
Hermione raised her hand with a whoosh.
She glanced at Blake as she raised her hand.
However, Blake, who often competed with her for points last school year.
This time, he surprisingly didn't move at all. He seemed to be... in a daze?
"Miss Granger." Professor Sprout called.
"Mandrake, also called mandrake root, is a powerful restorative."
It was obvious that Hermione had memorized the textbook again.
After a pause, she went on to say that this herb is used to restore deformed people or people under a spell to their original state. "
"Excellent! Ten points for Gryffindor."
“Mandrake is an important component of most antidotes.
"But it's also dangerous."
"So...can anyone tell me why?"
After Professor Sprout asked the question, he couldn't help looking at Blake.
However, her proud disciple seemed a little absent-minded today.
She didn't raise her hands as high as she thought.
Hermione gave Blake a hesitant look.
Then raised his hand again.
"Hearing a mandrake cry can kill someone."
Hermione gave the answer.
"Absolutely correct, extra points." Professor Sprout glanced at Blake.
There is a little regret in the eyes.
The little guy Blake seems to be a little distracted today.
Otherwise, Hufflepuff will be divided.
As for the other little badgers?
I just came back from vacation and I’m not worried yet.
Professor Sprout can't expect them to stand up and earn points on the first day of school.
"Look, these flower pots are full of mandrakes."
"However, these mandrakes are still young."
She pointed to a row of deep-bottomed flower pots in front of her.
Except for Blake who was still in a daze, everyone moved forward to get a better look.
There were about a hundred green and purple seedlings arranged there.
Professor Sprout pointed to the earmuffs.
"Everyone gets a pair of earmuffs," Professor Sprout said.
Everyone scrambled for it because no one wanted to get the pink fluffy earmuffs.
Professor Sprout saw Blake who was still in a daze.
"Mr. Green...Blake?"
Hermione poked Blake in the back.
Then Blake came back to his senses and found that everyone was looking at him strangely.
"Uh, sorry...I was a little distracted just now."
Blake stepped forward and picked up the last pair of pink fluffy earmuffs.
He didn't care about the pink earmuffs.
After all, pink is the romance of macho men...
"Blake, are you feeling uncomfortable? Otherwise, you should go to the school hospital first.
Professor Sprout said with concern.
"Uh... No, thank you... Well... I actually have a question to ask you, professor."
"What is it? Is it about mandrake?"
"Yes, Professor, I just remembered something, that is, Mandrake has a very strong restorative effect, and it can mainly target people who have been transformed or people who are under a curse, right?"
Professor Sprout nodded, "Yes, we usually use it to brew a powerful recovery potion. It is used to lift some difficult curses."
"But, Professor, I just recalled the recipes for the healing potions. Except for the powerful recovery potion you just mentioned, there is no ingredient in any of the healing potions that contains mandrake." "
Professor Sprout nodded, and then began to answer Blake's questions.
"Of course, because Mandrake does not have any effect on healing injuries. Its main function is to restore the target to its original state... This is not a necessary ingredient in the healing potion.
"Therefore, in order to prevent the healing potion from causing adverse changes in its medicinal properties, mandrake ingredients are generally not added to the healing potion."
Blake touched his chin, and then continued: "Professor, I would like to ask, if...if there is a healing potion, its ingredients contain appropriate mandrake ingredients that do not affect the original efficacy of the potion."
"So, can this magic potion help wizards who are disabled due to black magic and other reasons to regain sound limbs?"
There’s a lot to see in the wizarding world
Serious injuries can be cured directly with magic potions or spells.
For example, Harry's hand bone was removed by Lockhart
In the Muggle world, it would definitely be crippled.
But in the wizarding world, just drinking a bottle of "spirituality"
Then lie down for a few days, and the bones will grow out.
In other words, the wizarding world has a way to regenerate severed limbs.
But in this case, there are still many disabled wizards.
The most typical example is the current professor of the Care of Magical Creatures class at Hogwarts.
Professor Sylvanus Kettleburn.
And the legendary Auror Alastor Moody.
Blake also knew the reason. It was because the attacks that caused their disabilities were cursed attacks.
The remaining curse on their wounds prevents the rebirth of severed limbs...
It also hinders wound healing as before.
But what if the medicinal properties of mandrake were used to lift these curses?
Can limbs be regenerated?
Professor Sprout understood what Blake meant.
She thought about it carefully and then said:
"I can only say that there is such a possibility..."
"However, this is equivalent to improvement...or re-testing a new potion formula.
"The advent of a new potion formula requires countless experimental data to support it... This is not an easy thing to do."
"My potion skills are not yet up to this level, so I can't give you good advice.
"I thought maybe Professor Snape had some good advice for you."
Blake groaned and rubbed the pink earmuffs in his hands.
"Snape..."
Professor Sprout knew that Blake's healing skills were powerful.
And there are many studies on this.
Perhaps it was for this reason that he thought of this when he saw the mandrake.
So she didn't feel weird.
She had a hunch that Blake might give her a big surprise soon.
"However, if you can really research this kind of magic potion in the future, I can guarantee that you will obtain the first-level badge of Sir Merlin!"
Professor Sprout looked at Blake with encouraging eyes.
She doesn't know about others, but Blake's words will definitely work!
Blake's problem was just a sideshow.
The course went on.
All the little wizards work in groups of four, and each group is responsible for one mandrake.
The rhizome of mandrake resembles an ugly little baby.
It's quite scary at first glance.
When everyone watched Professor Sprout repot the mandrake, they thought it was very simple.
But in actual operation, it is very difficult.
Because these little guys don't seem to want to be pulled out of the soil. 2.3
And it seems like he doesn’t want to go back...
Hermione managed to pull out a mandrake plant.
But it seemed restless.
The mandrake writhed wildly in Hermione's hands.
He kicked his feet wildly, waved his fists, and shouted with gnashed teeth.
When Hermione tried to stuff it into a new flowerpot.
It also grabbed the edge of the flowerpot and refused to get in.
Hermione was sweating profusely and the little guy refused to give in.
Blake couldn't help but reached out and took the mandrake from Hermione's hand.
"ATE..."
He held the branches above the mandrake's head in one hand.
A hand patted its back.
Then the mandrake stopped struggling.
Blake took the opportunity to stuff it into the flower pot.
Hermione was stunned, "How did you do that?"
Blake smiled and said nothing.
The Druid thing cannot be explained.
Because Blake was the fastest to complete the repotting of the mandrake.
So Professor Sprout finally took advantage of the opportunity.
A generous twenty points for Hufflepuff...
While waiting for get out of class to end.
Everyone was sweating profusely and had backaches.
The body was also covered with mud.
Hermione frowned and looked at her watch.
Now, all the clothes inside her were soaked with sweat, and she felt uncomfortable.
She wanted to go back and take a shower before going to Transfiguration class.
But since then, time has been running out.
Suddenly, she felt someone tap her shoulder lightly.
Immediately afterwards, she felt that her whole body became refreshed and dry!
She turned her head and saw Blake who was spotless all over.
Blake had his wand in his hand.
"Would you rather think about taking the time to get back in the shower than think about the magic?"
