The Shopkeeper of All Worlds in the British Wizarding World

Chapter 77 Busy first day of school (recommendation ticket requested)

Thanks to Crazy Dave's plant breeding heritage, a mandrake can sing, dance, and maybe do something else, but it's still a plant.Ryan mastered the characteristics of the Mandrake after observing the Mandrake for a few minutes, and then pulled out, changed the pot, and filled the soil in one go. When he finished, he found that other people were still fighting with the Mandrake in their hands.

That's right, it was a fight. Ryan saw more than one student was bitten by a mandrake.

Ryan's clean repotting of the Mandrake earned Gryffindor another five points.After the herbal medicine class, the man took the opportunity to ask questions after class to ask Professor Sprout a question that he had never thought about clearly in his previous life, that is why so many students in the original book were petrified and had to wait for the Mandrake in the greenhouse ripen instead of going out and buying mandrakes.

Of course, Ryan's question is why he has never seen anyone selling Mandrakes outside.

Professor Sprout replied with some pride, at least in the whole of Europe, only Hogwarts successfully planted mandrakes, and wild mandrakes are only easy to be found when they are mature.But in the wild state, the mature mandrake will crawl out of the soil to find a suitable place to bloom and bear fruit.Therefore, in the market, mandrakes can only be seen for sale in very rare cases.

Ryan thanked the professor for his answer and ran back to the castle to take a shower and change clothes.He thinks that the mandrake is too much like the legendary ginseng doll, and he plans to exchange his plant with Professor Sprout for a mandrake to study.

In the following transformation class, Ryan and Hermione each added five points to Gryffindor, and they successfully transformed the beetle into a beautiful button.But thinking about how much time he had practiced in the grocery store and Hermione hadn't used a wand for the whole summer vacation, Ryan felt the pressure of the god of learning on him again.Because both Chinese and foreign parents care about their children's studies, but unfortunately, Ryan's parents only know Hermione, a classmate, and it doesn't feel good to lose a little bit after every comparison.

After lunch, Ryan faced the last class of the day.To be honest, if every professor had not the right to deduct points, he would even have the urge to skip class.

That's right, the next class is Gilderoy Lockhart, famous novelist, Memory Stealer, Order of Merlin [-]rd Class, honorary member of the Anti-Dark Arts League, and five-time Wizards Weekly Most Charming Smile Award class.His family is the only one who can turn a class into a fan meeting, let alone turn the meeting into a disaster later on.

But it’s impossible not to go to class, Ryan can only go to the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom with several thick and heavy novels in an extremely unhappy mood.

As soon as Ryan entered the classroom, Ryan found that the classroom was noisier than usual. Many girls had excited expressions on their faces and chatted with each other about Lockhart. It felt similar to the atmosphere of some celebrity signing parties. .

Fortunately, these fans occupied the front of the classroom, so Ryan was able to find a corner to sit in the back of the classroom.Then he piled up seven books in front of him to block his sight in front of him and prepared to catch fish in class.

The class bell rang and Lockhart came in from outside the classroom after the whole class was seated.Once inside, Lockhart cleared his throat to silence everyone.Then he reached out and picked up "Walking with Trolls" by a little wizard sitting in the front row, and held it in his hand, showing the photo of himself blinking on the cover.

"Me," he said, pointing to his own photo, also winking, "Gilderoy Lockhart, [-]rd Class Order of Merlin, Honorary Member of the Anti-Dark Arts League, five-time Wizards Weekly Award for Most Charming Smile ——But I don't talk about that, I didn't drive away Wan Lun's female ghost with a smile!"

"If you don't talk about this, what are you doing now?" Ryan complained silently in his heart.

After he finished speaking, he waited for a while, looking forward to everyone's support.Sure enough, many little witches laughed.The laughter seemed to give him strength, and he continued complacently:
"I see you've all bought my complete book - great. I thought we'd start with a quiz today. Don't be afraid - just to see how you're reading and understanding..."

It was this set of books that almost bankrupted Ron's family. This kind of monopoly defrauding business is too wicked.Ryan couldn't help but crossed Lockhart in his heart. In the book, he thought this person was quite annoying, but now when he meets a real person, he finds that the real person is even more annoying than in the book.

For the next 30 minutes, everyone was doing Lockhart's questionnaire.It's full of things like what color Lockhart likes, what date is Lockhart's birthday, etc., which are similar to fan club entrance tests.Was Lockhart really planning to develop his fan club at school?Ryan felt that the wizarding world should also ban such commercial practices from entering schools.

To make matters worse, Ryan had to endure Lockhart's full 10 minutes of narcissistic commentary on the test papers after barely compiling the three test papers in half an hour.

Hermione got five points for answering all the questions correctly, and Ryan looked at Hermione in the seat beside him in surprise.Hermione covered her mouth with one hand and mouthed to Ryan: "I just habitually remember everything in the books I've read."

"Hahaha, very good! Now, let's get down to business..." He bent down and took out a large cage covered with cloth from behind the podium, and put it on the table.

"Now—beware! My mission is to teach you to defend yourself against the worst things the wizarding world has ever known! You will face the most terrifying things in this classroom. But remember, as long as I am here, you will not No harm will come. All I ask is that you remain calm."

When Ryan saw the cage, he immediately packed all his things. He didn't want his things to be messed up by the elves.

Lockhart then, after a dramatic performance, opened the door to the cage containing the Cornish elf.One thing Lockhart was right about was that these little guys were indeed dangerous.

Although they have no magical abilities and prefer to play tricks rather than hurt others, they are not really kind creatures like the Smurfs.They are pocket-sized, agile, physically strong, cunning enough and a team player.When dozens of elves gather in a small space, even many adult wizards can't handle them.And Lockhart actually released them all in order to pretend to be aggressive.

Is a chaos and disaster inevitable?No, Lane doesn't think so.
