Hogwarts: I Am Such a Model Wizard Chapter 86

Chapter 86 Devil's Net

 With the automatic cleaning suit, Snape's confinement suddenly became easier.

That night, it took George just over an hour to clean all the cauldrons in the Potions classroom.

Moreover, his movements in using the suit were very subtle. Although Filch next to him felt a little strange, he didn't find anything wrong. He just thought it was because George had been imprisoned too many times and practice made perfect.

It's not Filch's boast. If he were to clean these cauldrons, half an hour would be enough.

 So after checking and making sure there were no problems, he took George and left.

 George made this incident a source of conversation.

Early the next morning, he talked about the discovery of the night trip to the Potions classroom at the Gryffindor table, and claimed that he found a letter written by someone else to Snape in the abandoned cauldron, but it was later wasted. Erqi confiscated it.

Although he didn't say it explicitly, the underlying meaning of George's words was very obvious—that letter was a love letter.

 This made the little lions very excited.

They don't care whether it's true or not, as long as they have fun, that's enough.

Hufflepuff's side, Kyle is also very happy.

 It's just that his happiness has nothing to do with Snape's gossip, it's just because there is an herbal medicine class today.

Professor Sprout announced during the last class that Rue Xiang's class was over and they could start learning Devil's Net.

 There is no better news than this.

 After breakfast, Kyle and everyone came to the greenhouse outside the castle. The students in class with them were Gryffindor students.

 “Why do I feel that you are a little excited?”

Kanna glanced at Kyle and said, "The book says that devil's net is a very dangerous plant. Aren't you worried?"

"well enough."

Kyle hurriedly put away the smile on his lips and said: "In fact, the devil's net just has a scary name, and it is not actually very dangerous. As long as you master the method well, it will become tamer than a velvet velvet. "

"Completely correct."

At this time, Professor Sprout suddenly came up from behind everyone. She looked at Kyle with a smile and said, "Don't pay attention to me, continue talking about what you know."

"All right."

Kyle cleared his throat and said: "According to the records in "Magic Vine Plants", devil's nets have been popular for a long time. Many wizards will plant one or two plants in their homes because they can keep those underground storage rooms. Protected from rats and spiders.

However, after the Ministry of Magic classified devil's net as a dangerous plant and banned private cultivation, it gradually withdrew from the wizard's family. "

"Even I can't say it more comprehensively." Professor Sprout said happily: "Hufflepuff plus five points."

“As Kyle said, the Devil's Net is not as dangerous as its name suggests, but…”

Her voice paused and her face became much more serious. "The prerequisite for them to be non-dangerous is that you must understand them. If you don't know anything about devil's nets, they will become very dangerous and may even kill you."

 After these words, the little wizards also became a lot quieter.

Professor Sprout nodded with satisfaction.

 They came to Greenhouse No. 2 today.

After entering the greenhouse, the first impression is that the light is very dark. The roof and surroundings are completely covered, and the only light source is two dim oil lamps.

 Fortunately, the greenhouse is not big, so once you get used to it, you can still see the surroundings clearly.

 Compared to the previous Greenhouse No. 1, the plants here are much more peculiar.

In addition to the devil's net placed on the table, Kyle also saw exploding pods, as well as poisonous plants such as fanged geranium and belladonna.

The only pity is that he did not see the mandrake here.

"This is the devil's web." Professor Sprout stood behind a stool, pointing to the large group of spider web-like vines on the ground in the middle and said: "It's very beautiful, right, but it's also very dangerous. Who can tell Why should I?"

Everyone looked at Kyle in unison, and their movements were quite neat.

“The devil's net can stretch out snake-like tendrils and entangle people who are close to it, causing injury or death.” Kyle blurted out.

"Exactly, five points for Hufflepuff." Professor Sprout pointed to the roots of the Devil's Net and said, "Look, our Devil's Net here is still very young."

Because the light was very dim, everyone moved closer to see more clearly, but they couldn't see anything special, and they didn't know how Professor Sprout judged them to be "young".

This thing is almost two meters long.

 Professor Sprout threw an empty flower pot into the devil's net.

As soon as the flower pot fell, it was tightly entangled by the tendrils of the devil's net, and then turned into pieces with a "snap".

The little wizards collectively took a step back and looked at Kyle and Professor Sprout as if they were ghosts.

How the **** does this mean it's not that dangerous?

“Pay attention to those tendrils, they are still tender green, while the mature devil's net is dark green.”

Professor Sprout simply cleaned up the fragments of the flower pot and said calmly: "So if you get entangled with it, you won't die, but you won't feel comfortable either."

“Now, who can tell me what I need to do to get out of the devil's net?”

 Everyone looked at Kyle again.

“Don't panic after being entangled. When your whole body relaxes and stops struggling, the devil's net will loosen.”

Kyle said: "Also, Devil's Web hates light and fire. Sometimes a simple lighting spell can get rid of it."

Hearing this, Mikel next to him suddenly laughed and puffed up his chest proudly.

 Lighting spell? He is familiar with this.

 It is no exaggeration to say that among all the little wizards present, no one knows the lighting spell better than him.

 “Exactly, Hufflepuff adds…three points.”

 “Today we are going to learn how to fertilize a devil's net.”

Professor Sprout took out a small wooden bucket and said: "There are tools and compost here. You must be gentle during the process. If you get entangled, remember to relax your whole body.

 Now, whoever wants to come and try it first. "

For the third time, Kyle felt eyes from all directions, and this time there was Professor Sprout looking at him.

 “I'll go first.”

Kyle walked out.

"take it easy."

Kyle took the shovel handed over by Professor Sprout and slowly stretched his hand towards the roots of the devil's net.

 Everyone slowed down their breathing.

Kyle's hands were very steady. He perfectly avoided every tendril of the devil's net during the whole process, and successfully dug a small hole at the root.

Then he used tweezers to pick out a silver particle the size of a soybean from the wooden bucket containing compost and put it into the pit.

 Finally, fill in the soil and fertilize.

Just when Kyle took his hand out of the devil's net, Professor Sprout's voice came to his ears.

 “Hufflepuff plus ten points.”
