Chapter 46 Hermione, Have You Decided on the Bet?

Professor Sprout explained the properties of mandrake for a while, and then asked the students to pick up the earmuffs from the stool.

Everyone scrambled for them, and no one wanted to get the pink fluffy earmuffs.

Hermione grabbed three earmuffs and handed one to Neville, and gave the pink earmuffs that no one wanted to Rolf. She smiled wickedly and said, "Put them on!"

"Thank you!" Rolf rolled his eyes at the girl and put on the pink earmuffs.

It turns out that being handsome has nothing to do with hairstyle, but only with face... For the same reason, the earmuffs that are ugly in everyone's eyes look better after Rolf puts them on.

Many female students covered their mouths, looked at the blond boy with shining eyes, and screamed, "Wow, so cute!"

Hermione muttered, pursed her lips, and hurriedly put on the earmuffs... She was no longer bothered by not being able to hear.

Professor Sprout also put on the earmuffs. She rolled up her sleeves, firmly grasped a bunch of grass leaves, and pulled it up with force.

What was pulled out of the soil was not a grass root, but a very ugly baby, with leaves growing on its head. Its skin was light green with spots on it.

Professor Sprout took out a large flower pot from under the table, stuffed the mandrake into it, and buried it with wet dark compost. In the end, only the clumps of leaves were exposed.

She patted the mud on her hands, took off her earmuffs, and said calmly:

"Our mandrakes are just seedlings. Although hearing their cries will not be fatal, it will make you unconscious for several hours.

So wear earmuffs tightly and don't take them off... OK, let's get started."

Repotting the mandrake seems simple, but the actual operation is... even simpler.

Rove pulled out the mandrake and saw that it twisted its body and refused to cooperate, so he pulled its leaves and swung it back and forth like a swing.

Rove swung dozens of times, and like playing basketball, he made several crotch dribbling moves in succession. Finally, a beautiful little hook shot, the mandrake landed accurately on the edge of the flower pot...

Three-point shot missed!

Fortunately, Rolf caught the mandrake in time and prevented it from falling to the ground, but the little guy still fainted on the spot.

With the crowd blocking the view, Professor Sprout did not notice that Rolf was abusing her precious "daughter", and only saw that he was the first to complete the pot change.

Sprout knocked on the blackboard, and a row of small words appeared on it:

Sixteen seconds... Rolf Scamander broke the fastest pot change record... Hufflepuff plus five points!

Hermione, Neville and Hannah in the same group were all stunned... Is this possible?

After Rolf finished the pot change, it was the turn of the other three to try, and he had to wake up the fainted mandrake again.

The awakened mandrake was extremely angry, it gnashed its teeth and roared, hoarse and irritable, and kicked its feet randomly.

Hermione still wanted to use love to influence the mandrake, holding it in her arms like a child, but she almost got bitten on the finger.

Rolf promptly took out a stick and put it in the mouth of the mandrake, which was also bitten with a row of marks.

The young wizards who saw this scene all took a breath of cold air, and the students who had a bold idea suddenly became honest.

The mandrake bit the stick, and the juice in the rhizome flowed out of its mouth. Rolf took out a small cup and quickly caught it.

The juice of the mandrake rhizome has a sedative and hypnotic effect and is a good material for potions.

Rolf's potting speed is very fast and his technique is sophisticated, but others are not so fast.

Justin was bitten on the finger, and he screamed hard, but unfortunately everyone was wearing earmuffs, and no one noticed this scene.

Ron's earmuffs were accidentally knocked off by Harry, and he fainted on the ground.

McMillan's mandrake ran towards the depths of the greenhouse, and he hurriedly chased after it and 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 changed the flower pots exhausted.

Lockhart was very punctual. He walked into the greenhouse, flicked his hair, and said with a smile:

"At the invitation of Professor Sprout, let me show you my knowledge of herbology."

"Come on, everyone follow me." Professor Sprout waved his arm and walked out of the greenhouse.

"Hey, didn't you say to cure sneezeweed?" Lockhart looked confused.

He just went to the library to borrow a few books and made a sudden blitz, so that he could appear as professional as possible when answering.

"No, I have already cured sneezeweed." Sprout smiled and said, "Professor Lockhart, I want you to help me cure the Whomping Willow."

"Just before class, didn't you tell everyone that you can cure the Whomping Willow... Come on, everyone give Professor Lockhart some applause."

"..."

The students all applauded collectively, the atmosphere was bursting, and then they excitedly followed Sprout to the Whomping Willow.

Lockhart was so upset that he could not even cry. He was just being polite. How could he take it seriously?

But the atmosphere had already reached this point. He could not show that he was not able to do anything. He had to bite the bullet and follow.

The students crossed the grass and came to the edge of the school.

Rolf approached Professor Sprout and whispered, "Professor, is the resurrection potion made with mandrake useful for blood-cursed orcs?"

"Blood-cursed orcs?" Professor Sprout was stunned for a moment: "Do you know a wizard who was cursed by the blood curse?"

"Yes, but that person has completely turned into an animal."

"It's difficult, but blood-cursed orcs are too rare, and people don't study them deeply." Professor Sprout narrowed his eyes and said:

"The potion made from mandrake may allow the blood-cursed orcs to temporarily restore their human form... You can give it a try."

The resurrection potion made from mandrake is a very effective resurrection agent, which can restore people who are cursed or deformed to their original form. It may have a certain effect on the blood-cursed orcs.

Rolf pondered and it seemed that he needed to get Nagini back from Newt.

"What is a blood-cursed orc?" Hermione asked in a low voice.

"A kind of wizard who is cursed by the blood magic curse. They will change between animals and humans and finally become animals forever." Rolf explained:

"And this curse is only inherited by female offspring."

Rolf explained the blood-cursed orcs to Hermione. At this time, everyone stopped and stopped a little away from the Whomping Willow.

The Whomping Willow looked very 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 pushed him gently.

Lockhart took a few steps forward unexpectedly, but the tree did not move. He walked forward tentatively, but still did not move.

Could it be that the injury was too serious, so it did not move?

Lockhart's confidence returned. He walked towards the Whomping Willow with a swagger, turned around and smiled, "Don't be afraid, I have some attainments in herbology..."

Before Lockhart finished speaking, the branches of the Whomping Willow suddenly fell down.

Lockhart heard the sound of breaking air, and hurriedly fell backwards, fell flat on his face, and then rolled sideways several times.

After rolling, he did not care about his demeanor, and stood up and rushed towards the students in a panic.

But more willow branches hit him, like a whip, and whipped him hard, and a blood groove appeared on Lockhart's face instantly.

He screamed and fell heavily to the ground, like a dusty sparrow.

Lockhart turned over, raised his wand and shouted, "Flames."

But his wand was hit by a willow branch and fell to the ground, and he was knocked unconscious by a branch.

Professor Sprout sighed, more incompetent than expected. She raised her wand and pointed it at the unconscious Lockhart and said, "Armor protection."

A magic barrier appeared in front of Lockhart, helping him block the attack of the Whomping Willow. Professor Sprout waved his wand again, making Lockhart's body fly over.

"It seems that Professor Lockhart is not good at Herbology." Professor Sprout looked at the group of stunned students and said:

"Send him to the school hospital quickly. Our Defense Against the Dark Arts professor was injured on the first day. Madam Pomfrey must be very...happy."

Hermione was a little dumbfounded.

Rolf patted the girl on the shoulder and smiled, "Hermione, have you thought about the bet?"

"..."
