Chapter 968 Absolutely safe, no bad reviews!
In the many greenhouses of Hogwarts, there are countless dangerous or precious magical plants.
However, whether it is the devil's net developed by William for foot massage;
I still like the man-eating blue who hides in the corner and sneaks up on students...
Nothing can compare to the Whomping Willow standing on the edge of the Forbidden Forest.
This magical plant has a bad temper and a strong sense of territory.
In other words, from its point of view, the Forbidden Forest belongs to it!
These stupid wizards at Hogwarts are all serving it!
This is simply more difficult to serve than a cat owner.
The Whomping Willow, which was transplanted to transform Lupine back then, is now over eighty years old. According to the human life cycle, it is about eight years old.
That temper is like a spoiled child, even more violent.
Looking at the timid students, Professor Sprout turned on the teaching mode and asked:
"Who knows where the Whomping Willow came from?"
"The Black Forest area." Qiu hurriedly raised his hand.
Black Forest, also known as the Teutonic Forest.
Located in the mountainous area of Baden, Southwest Germany, it is a vast virgin forest, which is as famous as the British Forbidden Forest.
Last summer, when William and Hermione went to Vienna for a meeting, they passed by there.
As for Qiu, I heard Cedric mention it.
It is said that there are materials for making wands everywhere... He even proposed that he take her to camp there during the summer vacation.
Lonely men and widows... Of course Qiu refused.
But to be fair, Cedric was simply led astray by Old Man Newt.
When he was on his honeymoon, he took Tina to the deep mountains and old forests.
He also took it as a love experience and passed it on to William and the others...
"Very good, Ravenclaw adds two points." Professor Sprout nodded.
"So what's the biggest difficulty in planting Whomping Willow?" She looked around and asked.
Today's task is to plant a batch of Whomping Willows, which must be explained clearly in advance.
But no one answered, because Whomping Willow is not a plant in the syllabus, and no one has previewed it in advance.
Professor Sprout was a little disappointed, and finally had to look at William and said, "Mr. Stark?"
"In its infancy, the Whomping Willow has not yet taken root in the soil, but it can move autonomously after planting."
"Yes, Ravenclaw adds five points." Professor Sprout appreciated:
"The Whomping Willow can not only attack people, but also 'run' around.
This is the same as the magic plant ginseng in the Far East. "
This William is familiar.
There have always been rumors that ginseng will run.
When a wizard encounters ginseng in the wild, but there is nothing to dig at hand, or when he wants to dig it when it grows up, he will find a red string to mark it.
That kind of red rope was not found randomly, but a specially made magic item with tracking ability.
So, the next time you meet Dongbai people digging ginseng and tying red strings, don't provoke them, they may be hidden wizards.
"Now, everyone comes to me to get the Whomping Willow." Professor Sprout told the students cheerfully.
"This is the tree sapling that I have collected from the branches of Whomping Willow over the past 20 years."
The willow tree has a very strong growth ability.
Under normal circumstances, you only need to cut off the thick and healthy branches, remove the larger leaves, and put them in water to take root.
The Whomping Willow is also a willow tree, and it also has this characteristic, but it is not as easy to survive as an ordinary willow tree.
Moreover, they don't like the environment in the UK. Compared with crayfish, they are a failed species invasion.
Of course, some people must say that crayfish, as an invasive species, have failed.
But the fact is... relying on foodies cannot solve any species invasion.
Including crayfish.
As a mature commodity, crayfish pursues the maximization of economic benefits.
The lobsters on the market are all artificially farmed on a large scale.Wild lobsters are expensive to catch.
Therefore, eating more crayfish now can at most contribute to the farming cause, but cannot solve the problem of biological invasion.
As a master of herbal medicine, Sprout, after a lot of research, still uses branches to cultivate many willow seedlings suitable for planting in the UK.
What William and the others needed was to plant these saplings.
They are natural defenders should Death Eaters invade.
The students wore dragon leather gloves and lined up to take away the small seedlings.
Those seedlings are only half a meter high, and they danced wildly when they felt someone touch them.
The Whomping Willow in William's hand was also struggling violently, but with a slight twist of his five fingers, the branch twisted out an astonishingly full arc.
With a consonant finger, he penetrated into the depths covered by dense leaves, stroking a slightly raised area.
That place immediately hardened and formed a bulge, while the Whomping Willow turned from hard to soft, and finally collapsed in William's hands.
Whomping willows all have a weak point, that is somewhere in the trunk, that is their sensitive spot.
However, in the young Whomping Willow, the kind of joint protrusion has not yet grown, so it is difficult to determine the exact location.
Fortunately, the Bowtruckle on William's body, as a magical animal that guards trees, they can be found very accurately.
William would like to call this move a forbidden spell with the same power as Millennium Killing—Morgan Era!
Other students were not so lucky.
With the Whomping Willow in their hands, they attacked each other and beat their own little wizard.
There was even a Whomping Willow, which ran to the old Whomping Willow, and seemed to roll over it.
It seems that it also took a fancy to that geomantic treasure land.
So the Whomping Willow became even more irritable, and with a flick of its tail, it was sent flying.
Has a creature like the Whomping Willow always been this brave?
I don't know that people know martial arts? !
……
……
After class, the students hurried towards Hagrid's hut before they had time to wash up.
Since the summer vacation, when the giant came to England, Hagrid came back together.
So, Professor Graplan left the school again...she was the worst tool ever.
But most of the students who continued to choose this course came for her.
She didn't continue the class and everyone felt cheated.
In front of Hagrid's cabin, there were several large tanks.
Orlis of Hufflepuff glanced at it and immediately screamed.
It turned out that those buckets were filled with animals about a foot long, sticky and white, writhing their bodies constantly.
Like a vat of giant maggots, that scene was too powerful.
"What is this?" Qiu also looked disgusted.
"Giant grub," Hagrid explained.
"When they grow up, they will become..." Bralid asked with a look of panic.
"It will become a kind of docile Butterfly, they can quickly collect pollen, and then brew a kind of butterfly honey.
Honeydukes' Butterfly Honey Sugar is made of this kind of syrup, which is very sweet. "
Hagrid's hardcore commercials are obviously overturned.
Especially knowing that honey comes from a maggot...
Many students became disgusted and said they would never go to the Honey Duke store again.
There was also a student who had butterfly honey candy in his mouth and couldn't help vomiting.
This reminded William of his previous life, when his roommate bought a box of instant noodles.
He ate seven or eight packs at night, saying it was the best instant noodles in the world.
The next day, the school suddenly spread that it was made of corpse oil from the crematorium.
Since then, William has never seen him buy snacks again.
The first Care of Magical Creatures class in Year [-] was obviously not about feeding giant grubs.
Because they were too low in danger, in Hagrid's words...not challenging.
Hagrid opened the bamboo basket, and a few small blue snakes appeared inside.
Those snakes had horns on their heads and a jewel on their brows, and they spit out cores and hissed.
The students all hid back in fear, more afraid than seeing the Whomping Willow.
When planting a Whomping Willow, at most you will be whipped a few times, but this thing... was accidentally bitten.
In terms of their simple understanding: snakes with a triangle head are poisonous... so this snake must be poisonous.
But in fact... it is indeed poisonous, and extremely poisonous.
But Hagrid was still comforting:
"Don't be afraid, it's a horned water snake."
"Although the horned water snake is surprisingly poisonous, it is relatively tame and gentle.
I asked the snake seller, and no buyer has ever given a bad review to their store, which is very safe. "
"..."
Hearing Hagrid's words, the students ran even faster.
William couldn't help sighing, is this the teaching of the graduating class?
Love it, love it!
