Chapter 64 Mischievous Little Anne

Unknowingly, a few days later, the matter of the basilisk, due to the secrecy required by Dumbledore, did not cause much disturbance among the teachers and students. The students didn't even notice that Filch's Mrs. Norris, who usually likes to roam around the school, hadn't seen it for many days!

In the current Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Witchcraft, apart from Professor Lockhart who always likes to wear a pair of Muggle sunglasses in and out of the castle no matter day or night, there seems to be no special abnormality.

Recently, students have been discussing more about when Professor Annie will start the class for the second time! After all, it has been a week since the last class started, but until now, there is no sign of whether she wants to start the class again! When the students walked out of the auditorium after dinner every day, they would subconsciously look at the wall above the exit, hoping to suddenly see some new class start notices on it!

On Wednesday afternoon, it was time for herb class in the second year of Hogwarts. Pomona Sprout was standing at the door of the school's herb cultivation greenhouse. cover. This chubby, honest middle-aged witch is not only the herbal medicine professor at the school, but also the dean of Hufflepuff College.

"Professor, why did she give each of us such an earmuff? What is it for? Harry, do you know?" Ron played with the earmuffs, he couldn't figure it out, it was just a herbal medicine class! Why send them this stuff? Is it antifreeze? But it's not that cold yet! It's not long since autumn has just begun!

"Huh? Don't ask me! I don't know anything!" Harry shrugged, he was still wondering about this, how could he know what the professor gave him for the earmuffs for!

"Oh! Merlin! Harry! Ron! Don't tell me, you never do pre-class preview?" Hermione, who was passing by, heard the conversation between Harry and Ron, and looked at the two little ones in surprise. partner.

"Pre-class? What's that? It's not necessary, is it?" Ron tried to put on the earmuffs and turned to look at Harry. "Harry, have you had any prep yet?"

"Of course not! I never do previews! How can there be so much time? Isn't it the same when you are in class?" Harry also followed Ron's example and tried to put on earmuffs.

"You really are!" Hermione looked at these two clowns angrily, then turned around and walked to her best friend. She swore that she would never borrow notes for the two of them to copy again! This is what they asked for!

"Okay, students! Listen to me! Today we are going to learn how to take care of a strange herb in this herbal medicine class! What I have to say next is very, very important! Please listen carefully! Otherwise, I don't guarantee that you will You are hurt because of this!" Herbal medicine professor Pomona Sprout clapped her hands when she saw that the students were all here, signaling that everyone should listen to her carefully.

"Well, let me check first, does anyone know what we're going to cover in this class?" asked Pomona Sprout. Then she smiled and looked at the students crowded in the greenhouse. Then she saw Hermione holding her hand high. "Okay! Miss Granger, please tell me."

"What we are going to teach in this class is to understand the habits of mandrakes, and learn how to repot them!" Hermione said word by word, she had already previewed the entire second-year herbal medicine class, she Of course I know what class is going to be taught today.

"Very good! Five points to Gryffindor!" After waving Hermione to back off, Pomona Sprout asked again: "So, does anyone else know what a Mandrake is? What else?" Use? And what are the things that need to be paid attention to?"

After listening to the professor's words, in the entire greenhouse class, the students looked at me and I looked at you. Although they really wanted to earn points for their college, but obviously, except for Hermione who was still holding her right hand high, the others didn't know what Mander was called. Nothing is known about the herbs that pull the grass.

"Okay! It's still you,

Miss Granger, please speak. "Professor Pomona Sprout is a little sad. She only plans to ask two questions in this class, and there are only 10 points in total!"

But according to the current situation, all the points will be earned by the Gryffindor students! Such a simple question, hasn't anyone else thought about looking through the textbook in advance?

"The mandrake, also called the mandrake root, can be made into a powerful restorative, used to restore a deformed or enchanted person to their original state. The growth process of the mandrake requires Keep changing the pots for them until they are fully mature! Moreover, it is said that the cry of the mandrake can kill people!" Hermione proudly said everything she knew, and when she returned to the queue, she hadn't heard anything. Angrily, I gave Ron an idiot a blank look! What does it mean that he looked at himself with the eyes of an alien?

"Very good! Perfect! Five more points for Gryffindor!" Pomona Sprout led the applause. "But please rest assured, our mandrakes are not yet mature, and their cries are not fatal! What's more, we have earmuffs specially designed to deal with them!" She raised the earmuffs in her hand, and the students I finally know why I have to send one to everyone when I come in!

"Next, let me add one last point, the cries of mature mandrakes can kill people! Although ours are not yet mature, but! If you don't wear earmuffs and hear their cries directly, it will definitely cause death. Not a light injury! So! Please be vigilant, students! You must strictly follow the regulations: wear your earmuffs!" She stared at the students in the greenhouse seriously, and did not continue until every student had put them on. Go on.

"These earmuffs have been treated with special magic! It will only block out most of the harmful sounds, but you can still hear my speech! Alright! Next, please pay attention! I will only do it for you A demonstration!"

After finishing speaking, Pomona Sprout looked again and checked that the students had put on the earmuffs before taking a pot of Mandrakes, and then took another slightly larger empty pot and put it in the Next to him, he signaled the students to pay attention to observe. Then she grabbed the rhizome of the mandrake on the soil, and after taking a breath, she pulled it out from the mud!

The mandrake that was pulled out of the soil twisted and struggled like a human with deformed limbs, and the open mouth under the distorted face let out bursts of screams like the cry of a child! Although the magic earmuffs cut off all harmful sounds, the students still subconsciously covered the earmuffs on their ears until Professor Pomona Sprout stuffed the mandrake into the big pot again and covered it. After clearing the dirt, they put their hands down.

"Okay! Everyone see it clearly? Mandrakes are a very troublesome thing! They don't like to be pulled out of the soil, so you need to pull them hard! And when they are pulled out, they don't want to Go back to the soil honestly! Therefore, you still need to stuff them into big pots and cover them with soil quickly! Do you understand? Very good!"

After speaking, seeing the students nodding their heads in understanding, Professor Pomona Sprout divided the students into two groups, and one of them was responsible for pulling up the Mandrake and stuffing it back into the classroom. Hold it in the pot, and another student is responsible for quickly covering it with soil.

"Parvati, are you ready? I'm going to pull it up soon!" Hermione and Parvati formed a group, where Hermione was holding the branches of the Mandrake, while Parvati was Next to him was holding a big basin nervously.

Seeing that her companion was ready, Hermione followed Sprout's example and plucked up the Mandrake. She lifted it up into the air and looked at its disgusting twisted rhizome, and then quickly pulled it up. It was stuffed into the pot and pressed hard, and then Parvati, who had been preparing it, quickly covered the pot with soil.

"Miss Granger! And Miss Patil! You're doing a great job! Very good!"

Professor Pomona Sprout just walked up to them, seeing their quick movements and tacit cooperation, she couldn't help but nodded in praise. If all the students were like these two little girls, she would be able to Don't worry! After the review, she continued to inspect and walked towards other students.

"Harry, are you ready?" Seeing that everyone else had almost finished it, the only ones that hadn't started were him and Harry! This made Ron a little nervous when he grabbed the mandrake branches.

"Okay! Let's do it, Ron!" Harry adjusted his eyes, held the big basin in one hand, and the small wooden bucket filled with soil in the other. He was sure that he was ready!

"Hey! Get up!" Ron pulled out his hands vigorously. After the Mandrake seedling was caught in the air by him, he began to struggle and cry.

Ron didn't immediately continue to follow Sprout's instructions, but stared at the Mandrake seedlings for a while, and grinned triumphantly! It seems that this matter is very simple! He was thinking about it, and when he was about to stuff it into the big basin that Harry was holding on to, out of the corner of his eye he saw a little girl sitting on the window sill of the greenhouse at some point.

He took a closer look, only to realize that it was Professor Annie! At this moment, little Anne didn't wear any earmuffs, she just sat directly on the window sill of the greenhouse, gnawed on a bag of French fries, and looked curiously at the mandrake that was carried in the air by Ron himself.

Annie has secretly teleported into this greenhouse for a while, and this is the first time she has seen this magical herb! So while she was eating, she watched the students grab the herbs that looked like little people and change pots for them. This looks like fun! If it wasn't for the fact that little Annie was eating and felt a little disgusted that they were too dirty, she probably would have gone up and tried it!

Ron didn't know when Professor Anne appeared there! But that didn't matter, because what made Ron even more puzzled was: didn't the sound of the mandrake kill people? Why is Professor Annie fine without earmuffs? Seeing her eating with gusto, doesn't she look like she might be injured or die? Could it be that Professor Pomona Sprout still deceives students? It shouldn't be!

Oh! I see! Surely this mandrake is still young, its sound will not do any harm to the wizard! It must be so! That's right!

Thinking of this, Ron triumphantly continued to hold the Mandrake in the air with his right hand, then took off the earmuffs on his ears with his free left hand, and said loudly in a voice that could be heard by the whole class : "Look! Harry, Professor Anne isn't wearing earmuffs either, I'm sure this mandrake seedling will never do me any harm..."

Ron just took off his own earmuffs, and before he could say the last word "harm", four streams of bright red blood flowed from his nostrils and ears, and he fell straight down!

"Oh! No! Ron!" Harry was taken aback by Ron's action, and quickly dropped the basin and stepped forward to support him.

"Aha! Look at this idiot! Hahaha! Look at what he has done!" Malfoy and Goyle on the other side couldn't help laughing when they saw Ron's appearance.

"Don't do this! Students! Please don't do this! This is not funny at all!" Seeing this, Professor Pomona Sprout hurried over to put the Mandrake back into the pot and quickly covered it with soil before taking off the ear Said to the students with a serious expression behind the mask! She leaned down again to roughly check Ron's injuries. Fortunately, it seemed that she just passed out.

"And you! Professor Annie! Please don't appear in my class casually, it will seriously interfere with my class! Moreover, your bad behavior will also send wrong information to the students! It will mislead the students! This Very dangerous! Very dangerous!" Pomona Sprout turned around and said sternly to Annie who was still sitting on the window sill eating French fries and watching the show.

"Oh! That, I'm really sorry!" Annie was just passing by, and came to join in the fun and see the rare plants! But he didn't expect to cause trouble for the other party, so he couldn't help sticking out his tongue, and quickly cast a flicker spell and slipped away!

"Okay! Students! You can pack up your things and leave the get out of class! Remember! You have to hand in an assignment about the habits of mandrakes before the next class! At least one piece of parchment must be filled! Finally! I will remind everyone One sentence: Before you have enough confidence in your strength, never do things beyond your control! Not everyone can hear the voice of the Mandrake! Otherwise...!" This classmate named Ron It is your role model! But she didn't say this in public! It hurts so much!

After Professor Pomona Sprout finished speaking, she bent down and hugged Ron. Although the child didn't seem to be in serious trouble, he still needed to be taken to the infirmary, and Madam Pomfrey had to have him checked again.

"Hey! Poor Ron!" Of course, Hermione and Harry also went to the infirmary together, looking at Ron who was put on the hospital bed by Madam Pomfrey. Partner, Hermione doesn't know what to say, how dare he take off the earmuffs so casually? Is little Annie also something he can imitate casually? No need to think about it, people can tear up the dragon with their hands and beat the entire Ministry of Magic! I'm afraid you, Ron, can't even beat a troll, can you?
