Hogwarts: Storm Chaser

"Hmm? I do have a younger brother. He should have children at this age now."

James thought for a while and said.

"Oh!" Professor Flitwick raised his eyebrows and looked up at James. He admired the werewolf wizard's curse skills very much.

"Really? Your brother's child?"

Erin said, thinking of themselves, if nothing else, they would not have children.

The three of them walked and chatted. During this period, Irene asked Professor Flitwick to look after Daniel, and Professor Flitwick agreed.

James seemed relatively silent in this regard and didn't say much.

After a while, a soundless bird flew over, landed in the middle of Gok's eight eyes, pecked Gok's head gently, and then flew away.

The three of them looked curiously at Gok who was lost in his thoughts.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing Gok come to his senses, James spoke up.

"The direction is roughly determined." Gok turned around in a circle, then raised one foot and said, "Over there."

"Over there?" Professor Flitwick pondered.

"As expected, there should be an extremely old dragon's claw vine growing there. Its thinner vines should be as thick as James' calf."

Professor Flitwick made an analogy using James' calf, which was closest to him.

"Is that there? Many of my people died there..."

Gok looked a little sad and a little scared.

"Then do you still want to go together? If you don't want to go, you don't have to go."

Irene touched Gok's head. The cilia on it were slightly hard and prickly.

"Go, but I won't go in. If you are caught, I will call someone right away."

Gok's honest answer made people shake their heads and laugh.

On the other side, Professor Sprout was heading towards the dragon's claw vine.

She had been to that place when she was still in school.

Today, she still remembers that amazing scene.

Dragon claw vine is a kind of parasitic vine. Initially, they will parasitize on their host plants, which are mostly tall trees with woody stems.

When she approached cautiously, she discovered that the tree where the dragon's claw vine was parasitic turned out to be a thorn tree, which was very rare.

You know, the thorn tree is a carnivorous plant like the dragon's claw vine.

The thorn trees that have grown to a certain level, like the dragon's claw vine, are dominant in the Forbidden Forest, and few magical animals will go to their growth range.

The above-ground part of the thorn tree is completely harmless. With its tall and thick trunk and lush and green crown, it often occupies a place in the woods.

If you suddenly see a clearing in a forest with no other trees except dense weeds, stay away from there.

Because the organ that the thorn tree preys on is its roots.

Its roots are extremely sensitive to vibrations and can even identify vibrations caused by biological activities.

The distribution range of its roots is larger than the area covered by the tree crown. Never think that the place under the sun is safe, it may also be the hunting ground of death.

Once you step inside, the tiny roots on the roots of the thorn tree can sense the fluctuations coming from the soil.

Then, the roots in the corresponding range will slowly squirm, gathering together below you.

You can sense the movements under the ground, but when you sense it, it also means that the thorn tree has set up a trap and begun to close the net.

Its root system will violently burst out of the ground, wrap around the victim, and drag him underground.

Usually, victims die from strangulation rather than suffocation.

From this, we can see that the power of the rhizomes of the thorn tree is very powerful, definitely exceeding that of ordinary pythons.

After the dragon's claw vine grows to a certain level, it will undergo a transformation. This transformation requires it to absorb the magic power of the parasitic tree.

After this, the dragon's claw vines can acquire the woody stem texture of the parasitic tree to support them without losing their original flexibility.

After getting close to the main body of the dragon's claw vine, Professor Sprout was fortunate to find that the thorn tree that the dragon's claw vine was parasitic on was a dead tree.

It cannot be said to be a dead tree. The main root system of this thorn tree has completely disappeared and is covered by the roots of the dragon's claw vine.

Other lateral roots are entangled by the roots of the dragon's claw vine.

I don’t know what happened between them, but the dragon’s claw vine began to transport nutrients and energy to the lateral root system and attached branches of the thorn tree to support its survival.

This led to the fact that when Professor Sprout first encountered them, the thorn trees looked very healthy and growing well.

When we came to a wasteland, the ground was covered with dragon claw vines, like snake caves entwined with each other.

At first glance, Professor Sprout saw the big tree in the center.

It was bare, not even a single broad leaf.

Thick vines hang down from the thick branches. There are small leaves scattered on the vines, which are obviously inconsistent with the thickness of the vines.

That thorn tree should be dead by now, or if not dead, it will be soon.

Professor Sprout speculated.

She looked into the open space among the vines, cast a spell on her eyes, and a different world unfolded.

The vines of the dragon's claw vine are flowing with thick green light bands, with faint red floating in them. This dragon's claw vine is alive and well.

I looked at the thorn tree over there again, and saw only traces of green light flowing inside the tree, and it was injected with Dragon Claw Vine, and a large part of it dissipated.

These movements were very fast, and Professor Sprout immediately looked for the cracks in the ground.

Footprints, the footprints of four people clearly appeared in the eyes.

She took out a small bag and took out a fur coat, a pair of gloves, and a bag of things.

She put on her coat, put on her gloves, and put the small bag back.

When I opened the small bag, a strong fermentation smell wafted out from inside.

Professor Sprout took out the contents and wiped it on his coat. After a while, his body was filled with the smell of alcohol.

Then, he cleaned his right hand again, picked up the wand and walked in.

She carefully avoided the vines, and when she saw some strange ones, she stretched out her hand to touch them, and then lifted the vines to take a look.

Following their footsteps, Professor Sprout wandered down and found that these little brats were still sensible and knew not to go in the middle.

"Oh, oh, James, is that Professor Sprout?"

Pettigrew, who was looking around, saw where they came from, and a short, fat figure walked over, looking quite leisurely among the vines.

"Yes, that's the professor."

Sirius was quite excited, he didn't want to stay here at all.

"Professor, professor, we are over here."

James showed one arm and waved at the professor.

When Professor Sprout saw this, he immediately came over.

Lupine's eyes widened when he saw the professor step directly on the vine. Is Professor Sprout so brave?

"Children, just stay inside. I'll take you out and follow me."

Professor Sprout walked up to them, bringing with him a strong smell of alcohol.

She walked in front of them, using her hands to push aside the vines on the road ahead for them.

This moved Lu Ping and the four of them very much.

"Professor, did you have wine spilled on you? Will Dragon Claw Vine make you drunk?"
