Chapter 354 The Defense Against Dark Arts classroom exploded

When Mike made a deal with Umbridge before, in order not to expose the existence of Freemasonry, he did not mention anything about Freemasonry, and the Weasley brothers were not members of the mutual aid society, so Weasley Brothers are not actually in the 'protected' category.

It can even be said that due to the relationship between Ron and Harry, the Weasley brothers may be the ones who need to 'increase efforts' in Umbridge's eyes!

This means that once the Weasley brothers take the initiative to cause trouble, they will most likely be punished more severely than Harry. After all, Harry is also a celebrity, and his reputation must not be punished too much. Obviously, the Weasley brothers are little bits.

This is why Mike advised the Weasley brothers not to mess around. However, the Weasley brothers were obviously not here to consult Mike. Their attitude and tone at the moment were telling Mike that they had decided on this decision!

Finally, after a period of fruitless communication, the Weasley brothers walked away arm-in-arm and laughing, while Mike looked at their backs and shook his head.

After all, they didn't accept Mike's proposal.

A few days later, Mike's Ravenclaw fifth year and Harry's Gryffindor fifth year were taking Professor Sprout's Herbology class.

The location is in Professor Sprout's huge glass greenhouse.

The content of this lesson is about box carnivorous grass. As the name suggests, it is a kind of carnivorous grass that looks like a box. They generally grow in the Australian rainforest. Under normal conditions, they will disguise themselves as ordinary trees, but once there is When small animals or even medium-sized creatures step into their territory, they will instantly transform into predators and trap the small animals tightly inside their bodies.

At the same time, it will quickly secrete a highly corrosive liquid to quickly turn prey into the nutrients they need. It is worth mentioning that the corrosive fluid they secrete is so strong that even steel is vulnerable to it.

Generally speaking, box-shaped carnivorous plants only have two functions. One is to serve as a biological trap for guarding the home, and the second is to specifically extract their corrosive fluid to be used as raw materials for other magic potions.

What Mike and the others need to do in this lesson is to collect corrosive fluid without harming the box carnivorous grass.

Since the box-shaped carnivorous plant will only actively secrete corrosive liquid when it captures prey, Sprout taught everyone that they must insert a hammer with a spherical head into its 'mouth' to turn it into a box. shape, and then open its 'mouth' to let the corrosive liquid flow down.

This job is dangerous, so everyone wears dragon skin gloves. However, even with the protection of dragon skin gloves, this is not an easy job, because this kind of carnivorous grass is too sensitive. Hitting them hard will spray corrosive fluid wildly, hurting the collector.

Even Mike burned his robe during the operation, which made Neville feel bad. He was trembling all over, and his red eyes made people want to laugh.

Fortunately, Sprout is not Snape. She is an excellent professor who has inherited Ms. Hufflepuff's will (this is one of the reasons why she can become the headmaster of Hufflepuff). So, in Sprout's case, With encouragement, Neville finally bravely stretched out his hand and picked up the box-shaped carnivorous plant that was chewing the special sledgehammer.

Because it was filled with corrosive liquid, Neville was very careful in his movements.

"Come on, you can do it!"

Sprout was talking next to her, and under her leadership, many classmates also joined the team to encourage Neville.

Encouraged by everyone's cheers, Neville gritted his teeth and stretched out his trembling hand to open the gap in the carnivorous grass' mouthparts.

At this moment, a loud explosion of fireworks came from above everyone's heads!

Neville, who was in a state of high concentration, was startled by the sudden sound. He let go of the carnivorous grass and dropped it to the ground.

This time it was good. The carnivorous grass that was thrown immediately started the violent mode and struggled on the ground. As it moved, the corrosive liquid in its body was splashing everywhere.

Neville, the instigator, was the first to be splashed all over his head and face, while the rest of the onlookers also suffered, with more or less splashes all over their bodies.

Suddenly the whole greenhouse was filled with screams of terror!

"Everyone, calm down!"

Professor Sprout covered her face (she was also splashed) and shouted loudly. At the same time, he waved his magic wand, and an unknown plant behind him immediately grew wildly and turned into countless vines that tightly held all the students. tied up.

"Calm down, it's not a big deal if you get splashed by the corrosive liquid. This injury is nothing to Pomfrey!"

Perhaps Sprout's explanation had an effect, and gradually the students became quiet.

It was only then that everyone raised their heads and turned their attention to the Hogwarts Castle not far away.

I saw that at the top of the castle, several connected windows had long been broken, and the sound of billowing smoke and fireworks explosions continued to pour out.

"That's the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom!"

Someone quickly identified the room.

Harry and others were overjoyed when they heard this, and Ron couldn't help shouting:

"There must be a fire there. Merlin's beard, Umbridge is simply more incompetent than Lockhart, and he can't even use the Clear Water Charm!"

Ron's words immediately aroused reactions from the surrounding students. Although their bodies were still tied up, everyone burst out laughing, even those who were injured.

And just when everyone was gloating, there was another louder explosion, and then everyone saw a blazing fire suddenly erupting in the Defense Against Dark Arts classroom. The fierce flames even rushed outside the window, covering Huo Huo. The already dark walls of Gwarts Castle burned even darker.

The smiles on everyone's faces disappeared instantly, and Harry swallowed his saliva and said to Ron in a daze:

"Well, I don't think the fire could do that. It's more like someone cast a powerful fire spell in there, like Mike's."

Ron's face didn't look very good either, he just nodded blankly.

At this moment, the vines binding everyone suddenly loosened, and then Professor Sprout suddenly picked up the fen fork used to clean fertilizer in the greenhouse and quickly rode on it.

The next moment, a scene that shocked everyone happened.

Professor Sprout, who was riding a fen fork, was seen flying up like a broomstick. At the same time, her somewhat anxious voice came over:

"Students who are not injured should quickly send the injured to the infirmary. Quick, everyone move!"

Sprout's order was not fully implemented. Although she rarely used a blunt command tone, there were still very few students taking action on the spot. Everyone was looking up, wanting to see her. What to do.

Ron's mouth was wide open, and he stared intently at Sprout, who was flying on a fen fork in the sky, and murmured at the same time:

"Am I right? That's... a fen fork? Is that also a type of broomstick?"

"I don't know," Harry's expression was similar to Ron's. Hearing this, he instinctively turned his eyes to Mike beside him, "Maybe Mike knows."

"Don't make such a fuss," Mike replied without looking back. "It's not that only broomsticks can fly. The Arabs don't like to use broomsticks. They prefer to use flying carpets. Russia is even more special. They have People can just pull up a tree and ride on it to use it as a broomstick.”

The expressions on Harry and Ron's faces became even more stunned, and at the same time, Sprout finally flew outside the window of the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom.

I saw her quickly taking out a flower pot from the dirty robe (don't ask me how she stuffed it in), and then poured something into it, and then the plants in the flower pot It grew crazily, growing from a small sapling into a huge and strange plant in the blink of an eye.

This plant consists of a huge green 'belly' and a thick vine, and at the end of the vine there is a flower bud that looks like a nozzle.

Mike guessed it must be a plant used to put out fires.

Sure enough, just as Mike had that idea, he saw the vines of the plant suddenly swelled, and then a large amount of clear water spurted out from its flower bones, forming a rainbow in the sky before spraying into the dazzling black magic. In the defense class classroom.

The plant produced a huge amount of water, and the thing burning in the classroom didn't seem to be gasoline or anything like that.

In short, in just a few minutes, the fire in the classroom completely disappeared.

Suddenly, bursts of applause erupted in the greenhouse downstairs, and everyone was cheering for Professor Sprout's feat. Only Hermione and a few students were transporting the wounded according to Sprout's instructions.

But what is hateful is that not only Harry, Mike and others did not come to help, but even some of the injured did not cooperate with their work, saying that they would continue to stay by themselves and watch the fun.

This made Hermione furious!

At this time, Professor Sprout, who was in the air, also noticed the movement in the greenhouse. A bright smile appeared on her face at first, but the smile immediately disappeared after seeing the scene in the greenhouse clearly. , an extremely rare roar appeared on his face, and he roared:

"Why are you still standing there?"

Only then did Mike and others react and hurriedly followed Sprout's previous instructions to transport the wounded.

…

When Mike and his classmates brought the wounded to the infirmary one by one, Madam Pomfrey did not give them a good look.

"What are you doing?" Madam Pomfrey put her hands on her hips and pointed at Mike, who looked the most like a leader, and yelled, "You can injure all these people in an herbal medicine class..."

All kinds of sharp words continued to spout from Madam Pomfrey's mouth, while Mike had a wry smile on his face.

"It's not our fault," a Ravenclaw girl said with a cry, "it's Neville..."

The girl's mouth was covered by Mike before she could finish her words. However, Madam Pomfrey opposite clearly knew Neville's name and tragic experience. The anger on her face immediately turned to distress after hearing the name.

"Oh! Neville, that poor kid..."

Madam Pomfrey murmured something inaudible and walked into the ward, ignoring Mike and others.

"You shouldn't put the responsibility on Neville. You obviously saw it. It was the explosion in the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom that caused this accident!"

Mike frowned and scolded the girl in a slightly stern tone, while Harry and others beside him also cast unkind glances at the girl.

The girl who was already aggrieved couldn't hold it anymore. Tears rolled down her cheeks, but she didn't bother to wipe them away. She just repeated her apology over and over again.

Mike was scratching his head a little now. He had never been able to resist women's tears.

Harry, Ron and others beside them were also a little at a loss. Originally, they were very dissatisfied with this girl, but the way she looked now made them really unable to be angry.

At this moment, Hermione finally came to the rescue. She hugged the girl who was still crying and comforted her while helping her walk out of the infirmary. Before leaving, she glared at Mike fiercely. A few glances.

Mike and Harry Ron looked at each other, and then they both laughed.

The accident that happened in the greenhouse was actually not too big. Except for Neville, who was 'headshot' because he was too close, the other people's injuries were not serious.

This made Madam Pomfrey's workload much lighter, and naturally, her attitude towards Mike and others became much better.

Unfortunately, this state did not last long. When Professor Sprout and several senior students sent the disgraced Umbridge and the Weasley brothers to the infirmary, Mrs. Pomfrey broke out again.

"Damn it! Why are people here again? What kind of trouble is this time!"

"A teaching accident." Sprout said calmly, "Bring me some Gerr's Toad skin by the way. I was also injured by the corrosive fluid of the box carnivorous plant."

Madam Pomfrey and Professor Sprout were very good friends. After hearing this, she immediately stepped forward to check on Sprout.

Umbridge, who was covered in black and had an afro on her head, was unwilling. She pointed at the two Weasley brothers who were laughing and whispering on the other side and yelled:

"Lying! It was obviously these two little pigs who attacked me!"

"Yes, we can testify!" echoed the two Slytherin students who were supporting Umbridge, "Brothers Weasley attacked Professor Umbridge with a magical firework!"

Hearing this, everyone around them frowned. Compared to the naughty but kind-hearted Weasley brothers, they obviously hated Umbridge more.

"Oh, you misunderstood what I meant." Professor Sprout replied expressionlessly while being examined by Madam Pomfrey, "I was talking about what happened in the Herbology class. As for what happened in your class What, I’m afraid it still needs investigation before we can draw a conclusion.”

Umbridge was so angry that she trembled all over, and fainted after looking at her eyes.

The two Slytherin students who were supporting her obviously lacked exercise. They didn't even support Umbridge.

Then, a muffled sound of 'bang' was heard, and Umbridge's short and fat body fell to the ground.

There was even a burst of black ashes floating around her body!
