Chapter 676 The magical jumping bulb
Because of the Triwizard Tournament, Professor Graplan specifically asked Rolf and Shirley to train for a while.
The mermaids were all very happy, and they also loved beauty, and their eyes when they looked at Luo Fu had already become stringy.
However, they soon regretted it, because in practice, Luofu not only used the Soft Leg Curse, but also tried other magic... which caused them great pain, without showing any mercy.
After the Care of Magical Creatures lesson, Rolf and Shirley separated and followed the Hufflepuff students to the greenhouse.
Arriving at the entrance of the greenhouse, the little wizards were still discussing the new Care of Magical Creatures teacher.
Harry listened to the discussion of the little badgers and couldn't help frowning: "Is there a new teacher for the Care of Magical Creatures class?"
"Yes, it was replaced by Professor Wilmina Graplan." Justin said.
"Where's Hagrid?" Harry asked in shock. "Where did he go?"
"I don't know, Professor Graplan said Hagrid is sick." Justin shrugged:
"But everyone knows that he must have been influenced by Rita Skeeter's article to not come to class."
Harry and Ron looked at each other sympathetically, and they were also affected:
During the meal in the Great Hall in the morning, Colin Creevey came to comfort Harry to be strong and not to lose hope in life just because Ron cuckolded him.
As Ron walked on the road, he also enjoyed the same focused attention as Harry, but they all had strange eyes, pointing at him and Snape's teacher-student relationship.
Not to mention Hagrid, neither of them wants to go to class!
"How is the new teacher?" Parvati Patil asked curiously: "Isn't he a weirdo again?"
"No." Susan shook her head and said, "Professor Graplan is a very gentle and patient teacher."
"That's right." Hannah nodded in agreement, "Next class, she will take us to see the newborn unicorn cub."
"Unicorn cub?" Parvati Petil suddenly became excited.
"This is the Care of Magical Creatures class in my mind. We need to be more exposed to decent and beautiful animals like unicorns, rather than monsters like Explosive-Ended Skrewts."
Parvati's words were unanimously recognized by everyone, and many people hoped that Professor Graplan could stay and not just be a temporary substitute.
Harry heard those words and said angrily: "What about Hagrid?"
"What can he do?" Parvati said coldly, "Just resign and continue being his gamekeeper."
"Hagrid didn't make any mistakes, why did he resign?" Harry shouted angrily.
"He didn't make a mistake?" Parvati retorted with a sharp cry:
"Rita Skeeter has already written in her article that the Blast-Tailed Skrewt is a cross between a manticore and a fire crab. This is illegal!"
"Hagrid not only broke the law, he also forced us to raise snails because he likes them!
He is not a qualified professor at all, and the content he teaches in class is just to satisfy his personal preferences!
Harry, I know you like Hagrid, but that doesn’t mean others have to like him along with you, and you shouldn’t impose your preferences on others! "
Harry was speechless at the rebuttal, and his face turned red in front of everyone.
Ron glanced at Parvati in fear. He suspected that Parvati was seeking revenge for the Yule Ball:
Harry invited her to be his partner. At the ball, he danced perfunctorily, then sat down to rest, and kept staring at Qiu.
This kind of behavior is indeed extremely insulting to a girl, and it is normal for her to be retaliated against.
Just when the situation was tense, Professor Sprout came. She held a large key and opened the door of the greenhouse, and everyone filed in.
Hermione walked beside Rove and asked in a low voice: "Is the new Care of Magical Creatures professor really that good?"
"Yes." Luofu nodded and said, "Graplan taught me a lot about mermaids, and even I don't know a lot about it."
"Merman?" Hermione raised her eyebrows and said thoughtfully, "Did she teach you how to deal with mermaids?"
"That's right." Luofu said with a smile: "Calm down, cheating is the tradition of the Triwizard Tournament."
"..."
Under the guidance of Sprout, the students quickly came to an open space:
A flower stand with complicated patterns is set up here, with vines wrapped around it and green fruits moistened with morning dew hanging from it.
There is nothing special about the plant itself, but what is strange is that there are chains wrapped around the plant, firmly fixing it to the flower stand, as if it is afraid that it will run away.
"Does anyone know what kind of magical plant this is?" Professor Sprout asked.
Hermione, who was discussing mermaids with Rove, quickly raised her hand.
"Miss Granger?"
"Jumping bulbs." Hermione replied quickly: "They like to jump around with dirt, so they are usually fixed with ropes or chains."
"Yes, two points for Gryffindor." Professor Sprout said softly:
"Your task today is to replace the chains on the jumping bulbs to give them more room to grow, but you must be careful..."
"Don't hurt magic plants, they are fragile and precious, right, Professor Sprout?" MacMillan said funny.
"Of course not, Mr. MacMillan." Professor Sprout blinked and smiled:
"What I want to say is that you must be careful not to get hurt by jumping bulbs. They are very aggressive."
"Is it true?" McMillan looked unbelieving.
"Who can give Mr. McMillan an example?" Sprout looked at Rove and called out: "Mr. Scamander."
"In the early days of the development of Quidditch, many wizards used jumping bulbs to replace the Golden Snidget." Rove thought for a while and said:
"There was a Quidditch match in the Philippines, and a Serbian player was hit in the chest by a bouncing bulb. Because he was not treated in time, he had to have one of his kidneys removed."
When they heard that the kidneys were knocked out by the jumping bulbs, the students all gasped and couldn't help but take a few steps back.
This is too dangerous!
"You must remember that no chained cat is a good person, and this law also applies to magic plants." Professor Sprout said.
The students all took note of this wise saying.
Seeing the fearful look on the little wizard's face, Professor Sprout smiled and comforted:
"You don't have to worry too much. These jumping bulbs are not mature yet and their aggressiveness is not that scary. I have prepared good things for you..."
The little wizard followed the direction of Professor Sprout's finger and saw a pile of colorful helmets in the corner.
"Just a helmet, Professor?" Justin asked, "No armor or anything like that?"
"No need for those." Professor Sprout smiled:
"As long as you protect your head from fatal injuries, no matter how serious your other injuries are, Madam Pomfrey can save you...it's a small problem."
"..."
