Chapter 77 Busy first day of school

Thanks to Crazy Dave's plant-breeding heritage, even though the mandrake can sing, dance, and maybe do something else, it's still a plant. Lane mastered the characteristics of the mandrake after observing the mandrake for a few minutes, and then pulled it out, changed the pot, and filled it in one go. When he finished, he found that others were still fighting with the mandrake in his hand.

Yes, it was a fight, and Ryan saw more than one of his classmates get their fingers bitten by Mandrakes.

Ryan's neat repotting of Mandrakes earned Gryffindor another five points. After the herbal medicine class, the man took the opportunity to ask Professor Sprout a question he had never figured out in his previous life, and that was why so many students in the original book were petrified and had to wait for the mandrakes in the greenhouse. Ripe rather than go outside and buy mandrakes.

Of course Lane's question was why he never saw anyone selling mandrakes outside.

Professor Sprout replied with some pride, at least in the whole of Europe, only Hogwarts has successfully grown mandrakes, and wild mandrakes are only easy to find when they are mature. But mature mandrakes will crawl out of the soil to find a suitable place to bloom and bear fruit in the wild. So in the market, mandrakes can only be seen for sale on very occasional occasions.

Ryan thanked the professor for his answer and ran back to the castle to take a shower and change his clothes. He felt that the mandrake was too much like the legendary ginseng doll, and he planned to use his own plants to find Professor Sprout for a mandrake to study.

In the later Transfiguration class, Ryan and Hermione each scored five points for Gryffindor, and they managed to turn the beetle into a beautiful button. But thinking that he had practiced in the grocery store for a long time and Hermione had not used a wand throughout the summer vacation, Ryan felt the pressure of the school god on him again. Because both Chinese and foreign parents will care about their children's studies, but unfortunately Lane's parents only know Hermione as a classmate, and it feels really bad to lose a little after every comparison.

After lunch, Ryan faced the last lesson of the day. Seriously, if not every professor has the right to deduct points, he even has an urge to skip class.

That's right, next class is Gilderoy Lockhart, renowned novelist, memory thief, Merlin 3rd Class, honorary member of the Alliance Against the Dark Arts, five-time Witcher Weekly's Most Charming Smile Award winner special class. He is the only one who can turn the classroom into a fan meeting, not to mention turning the meeting into a disaster later on.

But it was impossible not to go to class, so Ryan could only go to the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom with several thick and heavy novels on his back with an extremely unhappy mood in his heart.

As soon as he entered the classroom, Ryan found that the classroom was noisier than usual. Many girls had excited expressions on their faces, chatting with each other about Lockhart, which felt similar to the atmosphere of some star signing parties. .

Fortunately, the fans occupied the front of the classroom, so Ryan could find a corner at the back of the classroom to sit. Then he piled seven books in front of him to block his vision and prepared to catch fish in class.

When the bell rang and the class was seated, Lockhart walked in from outside the classroom. Once inside, Lockhart cleared his throat to silence everyone. After that, he reached out and picked up Walking with the Trolls by a little wizard sitting in the front row and held it in his hand, showing the photo of himself blinking on the cover.

I, he said, also blinking, pointing to his picture, Gildrow Lockhart, 3rd Class of the Order of Merlin, Honorary Member of the League Against the Dark Arts, five-time Witcher Weekly Award for Most Charming Smile - But I don't talk about that, I didn't exorcise Wan Lun's female ghost with a smile!

If you don't talk about this, then what are you doing now? Ryan muttered silently in his heart.

After speaking, he waited for a while, expecting everyone to join in. Sure enough, many little witches laughed.

The laughter seemed to give him strength, and he continued complacently:

I see you've all bought my entire book--very good. I think we'll start with a quiz today. Don't be afraid--just see how well you read and how much you understand...

It's this whole set of books that almost bankrupted Ron's family. This monopoly cheating business is too immoral. Ryan couldn't help drawing a cross to Lockhart in his heart. Originally, he thought this person was quite annoying in the book. Now, when he encounters a real person, he finds that the real person is more annoying than the book.

For the next 30 minutes, everyone was doing Lockhart's questionnaire. It's full of fan club membership quizzes like what color Lockhart likes, and what day is Lockhart's birthday. Did Lockhart really plan to develop his fan club at school? Ryan felt that the wizarding world should also ban such business practices from entering schools.

To make matters worse, Ryan had to endure a full ten minutes of Lockhart's narcissistic review of the papers after barely compiling three papers in half an hour.

Hermione got five points for answering all the questions correctly, and Ryan looked at Hermione in the seat next to him in surprise. Hermione covered her mouth with one hand and mouthed to Ryan, I'm just habitually memorizing everything in the books I've read.

Hahaha, very good! Now, let's get down to business... He bent down and took out a large cage covered with a cloth from behind the podium and put it on the table.

Now - beware! My mission is to teach you to defend against the most evil things the wizarding world has ever known! You will face the most horrific things in this classroom. But remember, as long as I am here, you will not Any harm will be done. I just ask you to remain calm.

When Ryan saw this cage, he immediately packed all his things, and he didn't want his things to be messed up by the elves.

After a dramatic performance, Lockhart opened the door to the cage containing the Cornish elf. One thing Lockhart was right about was that these little guys were dangerous.

Although they have no magical abilities and prefer to mischief rather than hurt others, they are not quite as kind creatures as the Smurfs. They are small in size, agility, physical strength, cunning and team spirit. When dozens of elves gather in a small space, not even many grown-up wizards can handle them. And Lockhart let them all out in order to pretend.

Is chaos and disaster inevitable? No, Lane doesn't think so.
