Chapter 86 Devil’s Net
With the self-cleaning suit, Snape's confinement became suddenly easier.
It took George just over an hour that night to clean all the cauldrons in the Potions classroom.
Moreover, his action of using the suit was very subtle. Although Filch next to him felt a little strange, he didn't find anything wrong. It was just that George had been imprisoned too many times, and practice makes perfect.
It's not that Filch is bragging, just half an hour is enough if he cleans these crucibles.
So after checking and making sure there were no problems, he took George and left.
George made it a point of conversation.
Early the next morning, at the Gryffindor dining table, he talked about the discovery of the night tour of the Potions classroom, and claimed that he found a letter written to Snape in the abandoned cauldron, but it was later discovered by Fei. Wilkey confiscated.
Although it didn't say it explicitly, the meaning behind George's words was very obvious-the letter was a love letter.
This made the lion cubs extremely excited.
They don't care if it's true or not, as long as they have fun, that's enough.
On Hufflepuff's side, Kyle was also very happy.
It's just that he was happy that it had nothing to do with Snape's gossip, just because there was herbal medicine class today.
Professor Sprout announced during the last class that Rue Xiang's class was over and they could start learning Devil's Web.
There is no better news than this.
After breakfast, Kyle and the others came to the greenhouse outside the castle, and the Gryffindor students were in class with them.
"Why do I feel that you are a little excited?"
Connor glanced at Kyle and said, "The book says that devil's net is a very dangerous plant, don't you worry?"
"well enough."
Kyle hastily put away the smile at the corner of his mouth and said, "Actually, the devil's net is just a scary name. It's actually not that dangerous. As long as you master the method, it will become more docile than a puff. "
"Completely correct."
At this time, Professor Sprout suddenly came from behind the crowd. She looked at Kyle with a smile and said, "Don't worry about me, just keep telling me what you know."
"Ok."
Kyle cleared his throat and said, "According to the records of "Magical Vine Plants", devil's nets have been prevalent for a long time, and many wizards will plant one or two plants in their homes, because they can make those underground storage rooms Protection from mice and spiders.
However, after the Ministry of Magic listed the devil's net as a dangerous plant and banned private cultivation, it gradually withdrew from the wizard's family. "
"Even if it's me, I can't say it more comprehensively." Professor Sprout said happily, "Hufflepuff gets five points."
"As Kyle said, Devil's Web isn't as dangerous as its name suggests, but..."
Her voice paused, and her face became more serious. "The premise of not being dangerous is that you must understand them. If you don't know anything about the devil's net, they will become very dangerous and even kill you."
After speaking, the little wizards also became much quieter.
Professor Sprout nodded in satisfaction.
They are here today in Greenhouse No. [-].
After entering the greenhouse, the first feeling is that the light is very dark, the roof and surroundings are completely covered, and the only light source is two dim oil lamps.
Fortunately, the greenhouse is not big, so after getting used to it, you can still see the surrounding situation clearly.
Compared with the previous Greenhouse No. [-], the plants here are much more peculiar.
In addition to the devil's net placed on the table, Kyle also saw exploding pods, and poisonous plants such as fang geranium and belladonna.
The only pity is that he didn't see the Mandrake here.
"This is the devil's net."
Professor Sprout stood behind a bench, pointed to the large cluster of spider web-like vines on the ground in the middle, and said, "It's beautiful, right, but it's also dangerous. Can anyone tell me why?"
Everyone looked at Kyle in unison, and their movements were quite neat.
"The devil's net can stretch out snake-like tendrils and entangle people close to it, causing injury or death to the characters." Kyle blurted out.
"That's right, Hufflepuff will add another five points." Professor Sprout pointed to the roots of the devil's net and said, "Look, everyone, our devil's net is still very young."
Because the light was very dim, everyone moved closer to see them more clearly, but they couldn't see anything special, and they didn't know how Professor Sprout judged them to be "young".
This thing is almost two meters long.
Professor Sprout throws an empty flower pot into the devil's net.
As soon as the flowerpot fell, it was tightly entangled by the tendrils of the devil's net, and then it turned into pieces with a "snap".
The little wizards collectively took a step back, looking at Kyle and Professor Sprout like a ghost.
How can this be called less dangerous?
"Look at those tendrils, they are still tender green, while the mature devil's net is dark green."
Professor Sprout briefly cleaned up the debris of the flowerpot, and said calmly: "So it won't kill you if you get entangled by it, but it won't make you feel good either."
"Now, who can tell me what to do to get rid of the devil's net."
Everyone looked at Kyle again.
"Don't panic after being entangled. When the whole body relaxes and no longer struggles, the devil's net will loosen."
Kyle said: "Also, the devil's net hates light and flames, and sometimes a simple lighting spell can get rid of its shackles."
Hearing this, Mikel next to him suddenly smiled and puffed out his chest proudly.
Illumination spell?He is familiar with this.
It is no exaggeration to say that among all the little wizards present, no one knows the lighting spell better than him.
"Exactly, Hufflepuff adds... three more points."
"We're going to learn how to fertilize a devil's net today."
Professor Sprout took out a small wooden barrel and said: "There are tools and compost here. The movement must be light during the process. If you are entangled, remember to relax your whole body.
Now, whoever wants to come and try first. "
For the third time, Kyle felt gazes from all directions, and this time there was another Professor Sprout looking at him.
"I'll come first."
Kyle came out.
"take it easy."
Kyle took the shovel handed over by Professor Sprout, and slowly stretched his hand towards the roots of the devil's net.
Everyone slowed down their breathing.
Kyle's hand was very steady, and he perfectly avoided every tendril of the devil's net during the whole process, and successfully shoveled a small hole at the root.
Then he used tweezers to pick out a silver particle the size of a soybean from a wooden bucket containing compost and put it into the pit.
Finally, fill in the soil again, and the fertilization is over.
When Kyle just pulled his hand out of the devil's net, Professor Sprout's voice came from his ear.
"Ten Hufflepuffs."
