Chapter 124 Mandrake

“Hearing the cries of mandrakes can kill people,” Ives said slowly,”but young mandrakes will only make people feel dizzy and even comatose.”

In fact, Hermione’s answer just now is not comprehensive.

Mandrake is also an aphrodisiac and an aphrodisiac that strengthens sexual performance. The leaves of Mandrake are included in the formulas of some powerful aphrodisiacs.

Back to Mandrake Regarding the dangers of grass, this plant emits a blood-curdling, heart-rending, fatal cry when uprooted.

In the past, wizards would tie up the mandrake with a rope when digging it up. , and then tie the other end of the rope to the hungry dog. After they stand in a safe enough place, throw out a piece of meat. The hungry dog will pounce on the piece of meat, and at the same time, in order to cover Over the scream of the mandrake, the wizards would also blow the hunting horn.

While the dog pounced on the meat, it uprooted the mandrake with the rope. In the process, the unprotected dog will die because of the cries of mandrakes.

However, this method is banned because it is too cruel. Now everyone wears special earmuffs when picking mandrakes to protect them from the cries. Therefore,

Lockhart’s behavior of trying to pull out a mandrake without wearing earmuffs shocked Professor Sprout. She didn’t understand how a person could be so ignorant and have such high self-esteem. Very high.

Does he really not know that if a bad operation is done, the whole school will be invited to eat?

After hearing Ives’s answer, Professor Sprout said:”That’s absolutely correct. Ravenclaw will add ten more points.””

“Since mandrakes are so dangerous, does anyone know how to safely pull them out of their pots?”Professor Sprout continued to ask

“Ears are usually plugged with earmuffs or wax.”Hermione replied quickly. She glanced at Ives proudly.

“That’s right, five points for Ravenclaw,” Professor Sprout said with a smile.”Look, the mandrakes here are still very young.”

She pointed to a row of deep-bottomed plates. Everyone moved forward to get a better look – there were about a hundred green and purple seedlings arranged there.

“Each person gets a pair of earmuffs.”Professor Sprout said.

There was a rush of grabbing, but no one wanted to get a pair of pink fluffy earmuffs.

“I’ll get it for you.”Just when Ives wanted to get the earmuffs, Hermione took the initiative to speak.

Hermione brought back a pair of pink and blue fluffy earmuffs.

Ives planned to reach for the blue earmuffs. At that time, Hermione wickedly put the pink pair directly on his head.

“Listen to me and thank you,” Ives rolled his eyes at the girl.

However, it turns out that the saying”a man depends on his clothes and a horse depends on his saddle” is wrong. In the eyes of everyone, they are earmuffs worn by Barbie fans of Death. Ivis’s head turned out to be unexpectedly beautiful.

Hermione’s roommates Lisa and Padma covered their mouths, looked at him with bright eyes, and screamed:”It’s so cute!”

Seeing the girls’ reactions, Terry got a pair of pink earmuffs from somewhere and put them on his head, but he only received disgusted looks from Anthony and Michael.

“When I tell you to put on earmuffs, be sure to cover your ears tightly,” Professor Sprout reminded from the side.”When it is safe to take off the earmuffs, I will give a two thumbs up.

OK – put on the earmuffs.”

Everyone quickly obeyed, and all the sounds outside were no longer heard.

Professor Sprout saw that everyone put on their earmuffs as she asked, and nodded with satisfaction.

Ravenclaw is easy to take care of, not out of place. Lanffindor, the naughty little lions always give her something different to do.

Professor Sprout herself also wears a pair of pink fluffy earmuffs, whic

h makes her look more kind. Sprout Professor Lauter rolled up her sleeves and grabbed the mandrake. She firmly grasped a clump of grass blades and pulled it up hard.

Seeing the uprooted mandrake, some girls subconsciously took a step back.

From the soil What was pulled out was not a grass root, but a very ugly baby with leaves growing on its head. Its skin was light green with spots on it, and the little guy was obviously shouting at the top of his lungs.

But everyone They all wore earmuffs obediently, so no one could hear its cry.

Professor Sprout took out a large flower pot from under the table, stuffed the Mandrake doll into it, and filled it with moist dark water. The compost buried it, leaving only the clusters of leaves exposed.

She patted the mud on her hands, gave them a two-thumbs up, and then took off her earmuffs.

“As Ives has answered before, our mandrakes are still seedlings and hearing their cries is not fatal.”She said calmly, as if she had just watered the begonias.

“However, they can put you unconscious for several hours, and I don’t think any of you want to miss the first day of school, so make sure you wear earmuffs when you work. When it’s time to pack up, I’ll try to get your attention. She repeatedly emphasized that the little wizards should wear earmuffs, and then assigned tasks,”Four people per plate – there are many flower pots here – the compost is in the bag over there – be careful of the poisonous tentacles, it is growing teeth.”.”

She gave a sharp tap on a spiky crimson plant, causing it to retract the tentacles that quietly reached towards her shoulder.

Ivis, Hermione, Lisa and Padma stood near a pot.Repotting the mandrake seems simple, but it is a bit difficult in practice. Although Professor Sprout did it very easily just now, it is not like that at all. The mandrake that Ives pulled up , twisting his body in the air, kicking his feet, waving his pointed fists, and gnashing his teeth. It took a lot of effort to stuff it into another basin, and waited until the dragon dung covered the mandrake doll. of���Then it stopped struggling.

Then came the attempts of other members of the group.

Ives took the time to observe the situation of other groups. Terry’s finger was bitten by a mandrake. He kept shaking his hands to throw the mandrake away. Unfortunately, the bite of mandrake is very strong. Professor Sprout had to knock out the mandrake to save Terry’s finger.

Michael, who was in the same group as Terry, was lying on the ground with a peaceful expression. His earmuffs were accidentally knocked off when Terry shook his hand.

Professor Sprout hurriedly called for someone to take him to the school doctor’s office. Poor Michael would spend the first day of school in a hospital bed.

Throughout the class, Professor Sprout was busy dealing with various emergencies.

It was not until the end of class that all the students were sweating profusely, with sore backs and backs, and their bodies were covered with mud, that she announced that the class had ended successfully.

The eaglets left the greenhouse in twos and threes, while Ivis and Hermione stayed to help Professor Sprout, and Gryffindor had herbal medicine class next.

While cleaning up, Professor Sprout said with emotion:”It would be great if all the little wizards could be as worry-free as you are.”

After saying goodbye to Professor Sprout, Hermione took out the class schedule and looked at it,”We There is only one Potions class left in the afternoon today. What should we do now?”

Ives suggested,”Let’s go to the Room of Requirement. I’ll go back to the dormitory to get the box. I have to feed Norbert and Lu Wei. food”

“good”
