Hogwarts: What Bad Intentions Could A Little Badger Have?

For Professor Sprout's request.

Of course Blake wouldn't refuse.

Moreover, the Whomping Willow was hit like this and was indeed seriously injured.

It seems that Sprout's treatment is to put a "bandage" on the Whomping Willow.

Therefore, if only Professor Sprout goes to treat it himself.

It does take some work.

Blake nodded.

Then he followed Professor Sprout out.

Professor Sprout said as he walked:

"I actually don't want to disturb your meal, but the Whomping Willow is really hurt a little bit.

"This tree species is indeed precious, but its vitality is not as strong as we imagined."

"Because it is more similar to animals than to plants."

"It's normal for other trees to have a broken branch, but for the Whomping Willow, it looks like it's broken...

The Whomping Willow will automatically attack any moving creatures and objects that are close to it.

It's hard to say whether this is because it has intelligence in itself, or whether all this is just its instinct.

If planted to protect something, the effect is pretty good.

But the weaknesses are equally obvious.

It has a weak spot in its trunk.

Just like a switch.

Once hit, the entire Whomping Willow tree will immediately stop all movements.

It's like falling asleep.

Blake felt, hitting the plant.

Very similar to the legendary treant.

However, treatment is also considered simple.

The whomping willow seems to have all the qualities of an animal and a plant.

So, just reattach the broken branch and tie it with a bandage.

It doesn't take long to heal on its own...

This healing ability is unmatched by animals.

Wait until Blake arrives near the Whomping Willow outside the castle.

A number of bright torches had been planted there.

In the dim firelight.

It can be seen that there are many thick branches scattered around.

And the Whomping Willow is bowed.

The whole trunk was trembling.

Blake as the Archdruid.

Sensitively sensed its emotions.

It was pure pain and anger.

To be honest, Blake can be said to be a partial druid.

His research on animals is more focused.

As for plants, his research is actually not that in-depth.

The simple and weak emotions of plants also made Blake ignore some things.

For example, plants also have their own consciousness.

It's just much weaker than animals.

Now, after Blake felt the emotions of the whomping willow.

He found that the self-awareness of this Whomping Willow was the strongest among the many plants he had ever seen.

720Although he planted many whomping willows, none of them had as much emotion as this one.

In the final analysis, it was because the plants he planted were still too young.

The tree baby was a few months old, even by Blake Days.

In consciousness, it is still incomparable to this kind of tree that has been growing for decades.

"It looks painful."

Professor Sprout said:

"We might have a little bit more work to do tonight."

Blake pulled out his wand and shot several dazzling balls of light.

The ball of light rose slowly, suspended in mid-air.

Let the area of ​​the Whomping Willow be as bright as day.

This ball of light is much stronger than the lighting of a torch.

Illumination is Blake's best magic...

"Well done, Blake."

Professor Sprout said in surprise.

"Now we can see it more clearly."

"Okay, let's connect the larger branches back first."

Sprout swung a small stone and hit the scab on the tree trunk.

Then Da Renliu's trembling body immediately stopped moving.

"We have fifteen minutes to get close to it."

Professor Sprout had a large bundle of bandages on his hand.

She had asked Madam Pomfrey for these bandages at short notice.

"Ignore the small branches for now, let's take the big branches back to it first..."

Blake had now slipped under the roots of the Whomping Willow.

I pressed my palm on the branch of the Whomping Willow and felt it carefully for a while.

In fact, this was not the first time he had approached the Whomping Willow.

But this is the first time to observe it so carefully.

After checking the situation of the Whomping Willow.

He turned his head and saw the bandage in Professor Sprout's hand.

"Professor, actually I can..."

Blake hasn't finished speaking yet.

He was interrupted by an overly excited voice.

"Oh! Dear Pomona, do you need help?"

"Oh, it looks like you already have help."

"But why don't you come to me... an experienced adventurer, a third-class medalist of the Order of Merlin, an honorary member of the Anti-Dark Arts Society, and a five-time winner of the "Wizard Weekly" Most Charming Smile Award. , your dearest companion and colleague——Gilderoy Lockhart...come to help?"

A handsome wizard with flowing blond hair came over.

He had a smile on his face. The turquoise robe was spotless.

Although Professor Sprout was a little dissatisfied with Lockhart calling him by his first name without permission.

But this is his new colleague after all.

So Professor Sprout didn't bother with him.

And judging from the book he wrote.

This should be an experienced wizard.

Maybe it can really help.

So Professor Sprout smiled back and said politely:

"It would be great if you would help."

Lockhart was very satisfied with Professor Sprout's tone and answer.

He said happily: "Of course! How could the enthusiastic Lockhart refuse a colleague's request?"

“And I did happen to see a few of these strange plants in my travels.”

"Don't worry, I will show you how to heal the Whomping Willow."

Lockhart said happily, and when he saw Blake, he couldn't help but add.

"Oh... Of course, I don't want your young student to think that I am better at herbalism than his professor..."

To be fair, Lockhart hasn't finished speaking yet.

Professor Sprout was already feeling a little uncomfortable.

If you want to help, just help. Why is there so much nonsense?

And, without being modest at all, you actually said you wanted to show me an example?

He also hinted that after he demonstrates, his students will think that their herbal medicine is not as good as his?

At this time, Blake noticed that Professor Sprout's face was a little dark.

Blake rubbed his chin.

Then came over.

After activating the Performance Skill Mastery, Blake said with admiration:

"You are the legendary anti-black magic pioneer..."

"Wizard Weekly's Most Charming Smile Award winner for five consecutive years..."

"Recipient of the Order of Merlin, Third Class..."

"The legendary wizard Gilderoy Lockhart?"

"It's a pleasure to have you as our Defense Against the Dark Arts professor for this new school year!"

Blake took Lockhart's hand before he could react.

Then shake it hard...

Although Lockhart thought this little wizard's words were very pleasant.

I wish he could say more.

B...

There is no need to be so excited...

Lockhart feels that this little wizard is extremely powerful!

He pumped it calmly several times but couldn't get it out...

Finally...when Blake let go of his hand.

He found that his hands were already a little red.

"Ahem...Since Professor Lockhart is willing to help, let's get started quickly.

Professor Sprout urged.

Hitting the Whomping Willow's scar once will prevent it from moving for fifteen minutes.

Now, almost five minutes have passed since the hit.

Interrupted by Lockhart, their work hadn't even begun yet.

Professor Sprout has completely seen Lockhart's character.

Vanity...Exaggeration

Blake's compliments just now made people's skin crawl.

That means Lockhart can accept it calmly.

This guy doesn't care what he's capable of.

But this character is really hard to like.

Professor Sprout didn't want to delay any longer at this time.

I just wanted to get busy while holding the bandage.

But Blake quietly held her back.

"Professor Lockhart! Didn't you just say that you wanted to show us how to treat the Whomping Willow?"

"We're just learning."

Blake said with a smile.

Professor Sprout also stopped.

She had just heard Lockhart brag about how awesome he was.

I also want to see if his herbal medicine is as good as he claims.

Lockhart stiffened slightly when he heard this.

To be honest, he is just a person who wants to take advantage of anything in order to show off...

His original intention was just to pretend to help and fish on the side. Just a few more specious suggestions.

Then after the Whomping Willow is cured, he (afch) can brag about it everywhere.

It can be said that the healing of the Whomping Willow was due to his advice, or even to his correct demonstration.

Then he can be in the limelight and satisfy his vanity.

but now....……

Professor Blake and Sprout actually didn't intend to go.

But let yourself do it?

This is completely different from the premise for fishing that I imagined before!

However, the rawhide has been blown out...

"Ahem...Okay! Okay!"

Lockhart said forcefully.

He drew his wand.

"I happen to know some magic spells that can work on this strange plant."

"Of course... every strange plant has its own uniqueness. It is normal if the spell does not work. y

Lockhart was patching up spells that would no longer work on him.

Then he could say that the spell didn't work because he was incompetent.

It's because of the uniqueness of this Whomping Willow...

As long as he has an excuse! Then Lockhart can still be a prostitute!

I saw Lockhart pretending to walk to the Whomping Willow.

He pretended to wave his wand and recited the spell he boasted about.

“Ulala Kalista Kashnobara”

Blake looked on, speechless for a while.

Just ask, can you recite that mantra of yours again?

If you recite it a second time, it will still be the same as the first time.

I wash my hair upside down!

Of course Lockhart couldn't read it the same way a second time.

Because this was originally a spell he made up blindly.

Sure enough, there was no movement from the Whomping Willow.

"Ahem, it seems that each of these strange plants has...

Lockhart was about to tell the excuse he had thought of before.

I found that my head felt cold.

Like something is blowing the wind?

Lockhart lowered his head subconsciously.

Then he noticed a huge branch passing over his head!

"Holy shit!" Lockhart was almost frightened.

If he lowers his head just a little slower, he'll have to hit a willow branch!

At this point, Lockhart wanted to run quickly.

But the Whomping Willow himself was furious because of his injuries.

At this time, I saw another provocative guy.

Of course it was impossible for him to leave so easily.

Professor Sprout frowned slightly.

This time should not be enough for fifteen minutes.

Why did it start moving so quickly?

Could it be that Lockhart's spell just now really works?

Is he really a genius?

Professor Sprout is still confused here.

Over there Blake has started to blow.

"Wow! Professor Lockhart! You are really amazing! That spell really works!"

"Look at how ferocious the Whomping Willow is now?! It's completely different from the dying look just now!"

"And when he was attacked, he took his time and easily dodged the attack as soon as he lowered his head."

"As expected of you! Professor Lockhart!"

"So... Now that the Whomping Willow has been awakened by your spell, what are you going to do next?! We are waiting for your demonstration!"

Lockhart was numb. How do you say this?

This is obviously just a spell I made up!

Why did this damn tree suddenly come to life?!

Is the spell I recited by mistake really effective? Am I really a genius?!

But... this genius is about to be beaten to death by a tree! What's the use of talking more?

Lockhart flees in panic under the violent attack of the Whomping Willow.

At first, Professor Sprout was affected by Blake's complimentary words.

I thought Lockhart was really capable.

B...

When Lockhart was hit by a branch, he was knocked out violently.

After falling into the mud in front of them.

Professor Sprout knew that he was completely wrong.

At this time, she noticed the corner of Blake's mouth next to her that could not be suppressed. Only then did I finally understand why the Whomping Willow took action in advance... It was obvious that this little guy had done something wrong.

But...there's nothing bad about it!

If Lockhart is really capable, then of course these little tricks can't do anything to him.

But what if Lockhart was just a bragging incompetent.

Then these little tricks can be regarded as a lesson to him for the arrogance he just said.

At this time, Lockhart was knocked away. Just outside the attack range of the Whomping Willow.

Her golden flowing hair was already messy.

The originally spotless wizard robe on his body was now in tatters.

He managed to straighten up on the ground.

"Ahem, sure enough, every plant has its own uniqueness."

"The spell I just cast can only wake it up... If it were the tree I met in the Amazon, I would have definitely cured it."

"I'll go back and do some research first. I'll definitely be able to come up with a solution to this tree tomorrow. Ahem..."

Blake felt that if this guy died now and was buried in a grave, his mouth would be the last thing to be damaged.

They have been whipped like this, and their mouths are still so hard.

Professor Sprout sighed and was about to speak. But Blake was already crouching in front of Lockhart.

"You still want to go back and find a solution?"

"I have to go back and think about it, otherwise there is nothing I can do..." Lockhart was stubborn.

"But, I have a way to completely cure it now. Why do you still want to go back and study it?"

"Didn't you say you wanted to demonstrate it to us?"

"It took me a long time to demonstrate wrongly?"

Blake's words made Lockhart blush.

"No...I...I just underestimated the enemy."

Blake spread his hands, let me show you.

Blake slowly approached the Whomping Willow.

"Blake, be careful!" Professor Sprout shouted.

At this time, the Whomping Willow hasn't paused yet. If you go in at this time, aren't you looking for a draw?

But a strange scene happened. After Blake walked over, the branches of the Whomping Willow danced wildly. Unexpectedly, it gradually stopped!

Blake stretched out his hand and slowly pressed it on the Whomping Willow's torso.

At the same time, he waved the wand in his right hand.

All the broken branches slowly floated up. Floating towards the Whomping Willow body...

The next second, Professor Sprout and Lockhart were both stunned.

I saw that all the branches returned to their original positions. Then ten bursts of green light flashed. Those branches were completely reconnected, and this scene was like a video tape being rewinded...

After a moment, Blake let go. The Whomping Willow has been completely restored to its original state!

It’s like the miserable appearance has never appeared before!

Blake clapped his hands with satisfaction

"It should be in time for the last dessert of the dinner party."
