Hogwarts: From Silent to Dark Lord

Chapter 199: The Role of Mandrake!!

At the entrance to the greenhouse, Toby and they were waiting outside, and the little wizards of Gryffindor and Hufflepuff also arrived.

Everyone was talking and laughing while waiting for Professor Sprout’s arrival, and many young wizards gathered around Toby, they knew that Toby had received a first-class medal from Sir Merlin’s Order during the summer vacation, and they wanted to see it.

“Well, since everyone wants to see it, then I’ll show it to you.”

Toby took out a first-class Merlin medal from his pocket, he carried things like this with him, but for him, this medal was of little use, just for fame.

“This is the Order of Merlin of the First Class!”

“Oh my God, that’s great!”

“Toby, you are the youngest wizard in the history of magic to receive the Order of Merlin of the First Class, which is really enviable.”

The little wizards chattered, and even many little wizards admired Toby very much, knowing that he could win the Order of Merlin at such a young age, and Toby was the only one in the history of magic.

Some of the little witches looked at Toby with even more affection, as if as long as Toby nodded, they could immediately confess.

When Hermione saw this scene, her heart became even more uncomfortable, she didn’t know what was going on, she always felt sour, she had a desire to step forward and drive all those little witches away.

Soon, Professor Sprout strode from the lawn, wearing a patched hat and a lot of dirt on her clothes, especially in her fingernails, which were always black.

If this is seen by a person with a cleanliness fetish, he will faint.

“Good morning, kids!”

Professor Sprout greeted everyone gently, with a kind smile on his face.

“Good morning, Professor Sprout!”

Everyone also greeted Professor Sprout.

“Today, we went to the third greenhouse and got to know some new plants.”

Professor Sprout said.

The little wizards were excited when they heard this, especially those who were very interested in herbology, such as Neville.

Last semester, their herbology class had been in the first greenhouse, but this semester they were going to the third greenhouse, wondering what interesting plants were there?

Professor Sprout took a large key from his belt and opened the door to the third greenhouse, which was generally locked and contained a lot of dangerous plants, which were very dangerous for the students.

Entering the third greenhouse, the little wizards smelled a damp smell of earth and fertilizer, and even mixed with the fragrance of flowers, feeling like they had come to nature in the wild.

Toby was looking at the plants in the third greenhouse, while Professor Sprout brought more than twenty pairs of earmuffs of different colors and placed them on a stool.

“Today, the first lesson we are going to learn is to change the pot of mandrakes.”

“So now, who can tell me about the properties of the mandrake?”

Professor Sprout asked with a smile.

Toby raised his hand, and Harry and Ron looked at Hermione next to them, but to their surprise, Hermione didn’t raise her hand today.

“Yes, Mr. Rigpo, please answer.”

Professor Sprout smiled and said that she thought that there would be a few more students to raise their hands, but she didn’t expect one.

“Mandrake, also known as mandrake root, is a powerful restorative used to restore a shape-shifting person or a person who has been cursed to its original state.”

“In addition, the sound of mandrakes is very dangerous, light can make people unconscious, heavy ones can even kill people, so we need to wear earplugs during the process of handling mandrakes.”

Toby said, even pointing to the pile of earmuffs on the stool.

“Very well said, it doesn’t get much better than this, Gryffindor plus ten.”

Professor Sprout said with a smile.

“Hermione, what’s going on with you today? Something seems wrong. ”

Harry quietly asked Hermione, who always liked to answer the professor’s questions during class, and even sometimes argued with Toby.

But today, in the face of Professor Sprout’s question, it was strange that Hermione did not raise her hand for the first time.

“I’m okay.”

Hermione said she was just in a little bad mood, but she wouldn’t tell anyone.

“You see, our mandrake here is still very young.”

Professor Sprout pointed to a row of deep-bottomed plates and said that there were about a hundred seedlings with green and purple in the middle, which were the mandrakes of the infant stage.

“Professor Sprout, the cry of a young mandrake will only make people unconscious, right, only the cry of a mature mandrake will kill people, right?”

Toby asked.

“Yes, the mandrake of the seedlings is indeed not very dangerous, but you must also wear earmuffs when handling them.”

Professor Sprout said.

“So, Professor Sprout, will the cry of the mandrake also kill powerful wizards, such as Professor Dumbledore, with the magical strength of Professor Dumbledore, will he die after hearing the cry of the mandrake?”

Toby asked with some curiosity.

“Oh, Toby, your question is a little profound, but it shouldn’t be, with Professor Dumbledore’s strength, the cry of the mandrake will not kill him, but it may be a little dizzy.”

Professor Sprout thought for a moment and said.

“Okay, I see, thank you, Professor Sprout.”

Toby said.

Mandrake cries are indeed very dangerous, but this is for Muggles or very weak wizards, and for powerful wizards, mandrake cries will not do anything to them.

However, Toby has read a number of books on the Dark Arts, one of which states that mature mandrakes can be used to create a dangerous Dark Arts item.

The ripe mandrake is salted for a month, during which all kinds of filthy things can be added, such as fishy blood, animal droppings, rotting raw meat, etc., but it is necessary to chant mantras every day.

After a month, the mandrake can be taken out after it has been pickled and flavored.

At this time, the mandrake has become a dangerous black magic item, and its cry will become extremely terrifying, and all creatures that hear the sound will not survive.

If this item is thrown into the Muggle world, it may kill hundreds of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people in an instant.

The weapons of the Muggle world are indeed terrifying, but some things in the wizarding world are also extremely terrifying, such as pickled mandrakes, after all, sound is very widespread.

Another example is the eyes of the basilisk, that is, to see and die, if a basilisk appears in the city of the Muggle world, just with a pair of eyes, I don’t know how many people can be killed in an instant.

“Now each person has a pair of eartips, and I must remind you that it is dangerous to change the mandrake, so you must wear the earmuffs tightly.”

Sprout said solemnly.

Under the command of Professor Sprout, the little wizards all put on earmuffs, and then Professor Sprout began to demonstrate, she grabbed the blade of grass on the top of the mandrake’s head and pulled it up hard.

The roots of mandrakes are not the roots of ordinary plants, but like a very ugly baby, and it is said that some ginseng that has become essence also has a human face, but this kind of ginseng is only found in the Far East.

The baby’s skin was light green, speckled on it, and he was yelling at the top of his throat.

Fortunately, the little wizards all wore earmuffs, otherwise everyone except Toby would have fainted.

Professor Sprout stuffed the mandrake he was carrying into another large pot and filled it with damp dark compost.

When everything was done, Professor Sprout motioned for the young wizards to take off their earmuffs, but Neville fainted at this time, not knowing if he was stunned by the cries of the mandrake or frightened.

“Alas!”

Toby shook his head, Neville is indeed an accident frequent now.

“Recover quickly!”

Toby took his wand and cast a resuscitation spell on Neville…
