Chapter 186 The Whomping Willow
In the end, Fish, who ran out of the castle, was found by Professor McGonagall.
He cautiously poked his head out of the foyer, observing the already quiet auditorium with trepidation.
|ˇˇ)
After realizing that the sound had indeed disappeared, he trotted back to his seat, picked up the plate with the meat buns, and ran to the end of the Ravenclaw table to sit down - this place is far from the door. Recently, it was convenient for him to escape.
At the same time, Fei Xu also retracted the cat ears on his head to prevent himself from being attacked again.
Ron, who had been unable to lift his head because of receiving the shouting letter, was met with murderous glares from the little witches around him. He could only shrink himself up as much as possible and quickly gave breakfast to Get rid of it so you can escape from the auditorium as soon as possible.
However, his small wish could not be seen, because today was the first official day of class, and Professor McGonagall also wanted to distribute this semester's course schedule to them.
With Harry and Ron sitting on pins and needles, breakfast was finally over.
Professor McGonagall handed out the course schedule. Gryffindor's first class was an Herbology class with Hufflepuff.
Everyone surrounded Fish out of the castle and came outside the greenhouse.
The greenhouse door was still locked at this time, because Professor Sprout had not come over yet, so everyone could only wait outside for the time being.
"Fish, you can put your ears out now."
A little witch reluctantly persuaded Fish, who put away his cat ears, "The roaring letter will be burned automatically after it rings, and there will be no more scary sounds."
Although Ron wanted to refute that his mother's voice was not scary, he still remained silent in the face of the aggressive gazes of the little witches around him.
"Really meow?"ω
Fei Xu looked hesitantly at the little witch who was speaking, and the others all spoke in agreement.
"That's right!"
"Don't worry Fei Xu, the roaring letter is gone."
"Whenever a howler letter appears in the future, we will notify you immediately."
After receiving assurances from a group of people and explaining to Feish what a roaring letter was, Feish hesitantly released his cat ears.
At this moment, Professor Sprout, who had a bandage on his hand, walked over from a distance, and beside her was Gilderoy Lockhart, who had a bright face.
"Pomona, Gilderoy, good morning, meow~" (●ΦωΦ●)
Fish greeted the two of them, who had not appeared in the auditorium during breakfast.
"Hello, Fish."
Professor Sprout, who had always had a stinking face, showed a smile after seeing Fish, but soon, the smile disappeared again because of Lockhart's opening.
"Oh, good morning, Fish, and my lovely students!"
Lockhart showed off his presence with excitement, "Just now I showed Professor Sprout how to heal the wounds of the Whomping Willow..."
He shamelessly took credit for Professor Sprout's work, even though he was just standing by and saying some opinions that were full of errors.
"Meow?"
Fish didn't pay attention to what Lockhart was saying at this time. He turned to look at the huge willow tree outside the Forbidden Forest, and saw that several of its branches were hung with the kind of bandages in Professor Sprout's hand. The other intact branches also looked a little wilted.
Fish, who often plays in the Forbidden Forest, is no stranger to the Whomping Willow. He even knows that there is a secret passage under the Whomping Willow that leads directly to an abandoned shack in Hogsmeade Village.
"Professor Pomona, wait for me, meow!"
Fish dropped these words and ran towards the Whomping Willow.
"Fish, come back quickly!" Ron and Harry, who had just been attacked by the Whomping Willow yesterday, shouted at Fish's back: "That tree is very ferocious!"
The other Gryffindors also looked worried.
However, Professor Sprout and the Hufflepuff students were calm about this. They had seen Fish's magical affinity that could affect even plants when he was a guest in the Hufflepuff lounge. .
So they spoke one after another to appease the anxious Gryffindor. Usually it was Gryffindor who was embarrassed in front of the other three houses, but now it was finally their turn.
No matter how noisy the group behind him was, Fish jumped up and down to the Whomping Willow. Instead of attacking Fish, the originally ferocious Whomping Willow lowered its branches and rubbed against him affectionately.
Feishu gently patted the hanging branches of the willow, then walked to its main trunk and raised his hand to pat it.
The glowing green light wrapped around the Whomping Willow, wrapping the entire tree.
After a while, the green light faded, and the Whomping Willow, who had fully recovered, waved its branch and shook off all the bandages on its body, then lowered its branch again and rubbed against Fei Xu.
Just as everyone was sighing at Yu Feixu's wonderful magic, a voice broke the peaceful and peaceful atmosphere.
"Yes, there is also this spell, I actually forgot about it!"
Lockhart made an annoyed expression and said in a pretentious manner: "Actually, this is just a very simple plant repair spell, but it's just too simple, which made me forget its existence."
However, both Gryffindor and Hufflepuff cast indifferent glances at him, but he still continued to brag about his talent in herbal medicine without realizing it.
"Go to the third greenhouse today!"
Professor Sprout just wanted to stay away from Lockhart, a shameful thing. She took out a bunch of keys, opened the door to the third greenhouse, and walked in first.
Other students followed suit. Although they had not yet taken Professor Lockhart's class, they no longer had any hope for this year's Defense Against the Dark Arts class.
However, before Professor Sprout closed the door, Lockhart stopped Harry talking to himself, making Professor Sprout's face become even more sullen.
Finally, when Harry came in from outside, Professor Sprout's herbal medicine class officially began.
Today's lesson was about repotting mandrakes. Professor Sprout asked two questions about mandrakes, and as expected, Hermione answered them correctly.
"Look, the mandrakes here are still very young." Professor Sprout pointed to a bunch of green and purple seedlings and said, "Although their cries won't kill people, they can still make people die." You guys were unconscious for a few hours, so we need to wear earmuffs while we repot them..."
While Professor Sprout was talking, Fish, who was squatting in front of the flower pot and watching, had already stretched out his hand and pulled out one of the mandrakes.
"Oh! Merlin's beard!"
Professor Sprout let out a scream and quickly covered his ears, while Hermione and some students who knew something about Mandrake also did the same.
Harry and others failed to react, but they understood what Hermione meant by the "crying sound" - what was under the seedling was not grass roots, but a wrinkled baby.
However, the baby did not cry in Fei Xu's hands, but only made a slight "ahhh" sound.
Even such a slight sound made Harry and the others feel slightly dizzy, but Fish seemed to be fine with it. He even stretched out his fingers and teased the mandrake.
"Well..." Professor Sprout put down his hand in embarrassment, and then said seriously to other students: "Fish's situation is a bit special, so don't be careless because of this."
From time to time, he would be dazzled by the sound of mandrake. Harry and the others would not be stupid, and they would nod in response.
Then Professor Sprout put Fish who was disturbing her class to sleep, and the others put on earmuffs and started changing the basin of the Mandrake doll.
Fei Xu: "Zzzzz..."
