Chapter 152 Hermione, have you decided on a bet yet?
Professor Sprout explained the characteristics of the mandrake for a while, and then asked the students to pick up the earmuffs from the stool.
Everyone was looting, and no one wanted to get the pair of pink fluffy earmuffs.
Hermione snatched back three earmuffs, handed one to Neville, and gave the unwanted pink earmuff to Rove. She said with a smirk, "Put it on!"
"Thank you!" Rove gave the girl a white look, and put on pink earmuffs.
Facts have proved that handsome or not has nothing to do with hairstyle, but only with face... In the same way, the earmuffs that are ugly in everyone's eyes look better after Rove wears them.
Many female students covered their mouths, looked at the blond boy with bright eyes, and screamed, "Wow, so cute!"
Hermione muttered something, pursed her lips, and quickly put on the earmuffs... she didn't feel bothered if she couldn't hear.
Professor Sprout also wore earmuffs. She rolled up her sleeves, took hold of a clump of grass, and pulled it up with all her might.
What was pulled out of the soil was not grass roots, but a very ugly baby with leaves on its head, and its skin was light green and spotted.
Professor Sprout took a large flowerpot from under the table, stuffed the mandrake in it, and covered it with damp dark compost until only the clump of leaves remained.
She patted the mud on her hands, took off her earmuffs, and said calmly:
"Our mandrakes are only saplings, and hearing their cries won't kill you, but it will stun you for hours.
So keep the earmuffs tight and don't take them off... let's get started. "
Repotting a mandrake seems simple, but in practice it is... even simpler.
Rove pulled out the Mandrake, saw it twisting its body and refused to cooperate, so he grabbed its leaves and swayed back and forth like a swing.
Rove swayed dozens of times, like playing basketball, and made several crotch dribbles in a row. Finally, with a beautiful little hook, the Mandrake landed accurately on the edge of the flower pot.
Three-point strike!
Fortunately, Rove 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 didn't notice that Rove was insulting her precious 'daughter', and only saw him be the first to complete the basin change.
Sprout tapped on the blackboard, and a row of small words appeared on it:
Sixteen seconds...Rolf Scamander breaks the record for the fastest repot...Five points for Hufflepuff!
Hermione, Neville, and Hannah in the same group were all dumbfounded... Is this even okay?
After Rove finished repotting, it was the turn of the other three to try, so he had no choice but to wake up the fainted Mandrake.
The mandrake that woke up was extremely angry. It gritted its teeth and roared, hoarse and irritable, kicking its feet indiscriminately.
Hermione also wanted to influence the Mandrake with love, holding her in her arms like a child, but she almost got her finger bitten.
Rove took out a stick in time and put it in the mandrake's mouth, and the stick was also bitten into a row of marks.
The little wizards who saw this scene all gasped, and the students who had a bold idea at first became honest again.
The mandrake bit the stick, and the juice from the rhizome flowed out of its mouth. Rove took out a small cup to catch it.
The juice of the rhizome of Mandrake has sedative and hypnotic effects and is a good material for potions.
Rove's basin changing is fast and sophisticated, but others are not so fast.
Justin was bitten on the finger, and he screamed vigorously, but unfortunately, everyone was wearing earmuffs, so no one noticed this scene.
Ron's earmuffs were accidentally knocked off by Harry, and he passed out on the ground.
McMillan's Mandrake ran towards the depths of the greenhouse, and he hurriedly chased after it, but was entangled by 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 to change the flower pots.
Lockhart was 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 of herbal medicine."
"Come on, everyone follow me." Professor Sprout waved his arms and walked out of the greenhouse.
"Hey, didn't you mean to cure the sneezeweed?" Lockhart looked confused.
He also went to the library to borrow a few books just now, and made an impromptu surprise, so that he could appear as professional as possible when answering.
"No, I've cured the sneezing weed." Sprout smiled and said, "Professor Lockhart, I want you to cure me of 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, and the atmosphere exploded, and then excitedly followed Sproutlow towards the Whomping Willow.
Lockhart really wanted to cry, so he was polite, how could he take it seriously?
But the atmosphere has been enhanced here, he can't show that he can't do it yet, so he has to bite the bullet and follow.
The students walked across the grass to the edge of the school.
Rove approached Professor Sprout and asked in a low voice, "Professor, is the resurrection potion made with the Mandrake useful for the blood-cursed orcs?"
"Blood-cursed orc?" Professor Sprout was stunned: "Do you know a wizard who has been under the blood curse?"
"Yes, but that man has completely turned into an animal."
"It's hard, but blood curse orcs are too rare, and everyone doesn't study them deeply." Professor Sprout narrowed his eyes and said:
"The potion made from the mandrake may temporarily restore the blood-cursed orc to its human form...you can try it."
The resurrection potion made from the mandrake is a very effective compounding potion, which can restore the cursed or deformed people to their original shape, and it may have a certain effect on the blood-cursed orcs.
Rove pondered, it seemed that Nagini needed to be taken back from Newt.
"What is a blood-cursed orc?" Hermione asked in a low voice.
"A kind of wizard who has a blood spell, and they will change between animals and humans, and finally become animals forever." Rove explained:
"And this curse is only inherited in female offspring."
Rove was explaining the blood cursed orcs to Hermione. At this moment, everyone stopped, a little far away from the Whomping Willow.
The Whomping Willow looked miserable, wrapped in many bandages, like a disabled person.
Everyone looked at Lockhart expectantly. He didn't dare to go over, but Professor Sprout stood behind him and gave him a slight push.
Lockhart caught off guard and took a few steps forward, but the tree didn't move. He tentatively walked forward, but there was still no movement.
Could it be that the injury was too serious, so he stopped moving?
Lockhart's self-confidence returned, he swaggered towards the Whomping Willow, turned around and said with a smile, "Don't be afraid, I have some accomplishments in herbal medicine..."
Before Lockhart finished speaking, a branch of the Whomping Willow suddenly fell down.
Hearing the sound of breaking through the air, Lockhart hurriedly fell backwards, fell to the ground, and then rolled several times sideways.
After rolling around, he didn't care about his demeanor, stood up and rushed towards the students in a hurry.
But more willows hit, like a whip, and they were whipped, and a blood groove appeared on Lockhart's face instantly.
He screamed and fell heavily to the ground like a dusty sparrow.
Lockhart rolled over, raised his wand and called, "Fire!"
But the wand was directly hit by the wicker and fell to the ground, and he was also knocked unconscious by a branch.
Professor Sprout sighed, more incompetent than imagined, she raised her wand and pointed at the unconscious Lockhart: "Armor protection."
A magic barrier appeared in front of Lockhart, helping him block Whomping Willow's attack. Professor Sprout swung his wand again, causing Lockhart's body to fly towards him.
"It seems that Professor Lockhart is not good at herbal medicine." Professor Sprout looked at the stunned students and said:
"Hurry up and send him to the school hospital. Our Defense Against the Dark Arts professor was injured on the first day. Madam Pomfrey must be very... happy."
Hermione was a little dumbfounded.
Rove patted the girl on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Hermione, have you decided on your bet?"
"..."
