Hogwarts: The Savior's Strong Cousin

Chapter 71 Whomping Willow: Stop pulling my hair out, I’m bald

The few of them put the matter of the compound decoction aside for now. After all, preparing this complicated and unpalatable medicine required very delicate operations.

The current few people obviously don't have such ability. What's more, they haven't even got the "Powerful Potion" in the restricted area?

Ever since the incident in which the Cornish elf caused chaos in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, Lockhart no longer brought any living creatures into the classroom. The course he taught, as he wished, turned into reading - for those who were not interested, it was even more boring than Professor Binns' History of Magic class.

However, this did not hinder his extremely high popularity among the girls. The girls' eyes lit up when they heard him, but Miss Granger was slowly excluded from the list. After all, as long as the things on both sides of his nose were not just for decoration, it could be seen that Lockhart was a thick-skinned, hollow bamboo.

Lockhart naturally enjoyed this kind of admiration and when he was in a good mood, he would ask his classmates to help him recreate the scene at that time - although this person was usually Harry.

From the simple Transylvanian villagers who were cast with the Bubble Blowing Charm and came to life after being cured by Lockhart, to the Himalayan Yeti suffering from a cold, to the Albanian vampire who stopped sucking blood and ate carrots instead after dealing with Lockhart, Harry only felt that during this time, he was like a poor puppet in a children's thumb theater, playing such a dry role and being greeted with only everyone's booing laughter.

After all, seeing a prominent figure making a fool of himself is an extremely rare scene.

This even included Dudley.

Seeing his cousin laughing so heartlessly, Harry muttered a curse and continued to make threatening gestures towards Lockhart - this time he was a werewolf.

However, he still couldn't show any annoyance.

After all, although Lockhart is stupid, he still has some value, doesn't he?

For example, a note signed by a professor who teaches the course, allowing them to remove the book from the restricted section?

Or maybe Lockhart was adorably stupid. After a few sweet words from the others, he signed his name in his own fancy handwriting without even reading the content - so much so that as Dudley walked away, he sighed that the old guy was really good at writing, at least his handwriting was pretty beautiful.

"Okay, you guys go borrow the books, I'll go find... someone, show me what I learned."

As they approached the library entrance, Dudley waved to everyone.

"I can't say."

Harry lowered his voice and winked at Ron. Ron agreed and glanced at Hermione secretly. Sure enough, Miss Granger's face soon became extremely ugly.

Blinking, Dudley finally realized how much vinegar he had provoked.

But he didn't say anything and just walked away.

"You say, he always goes to that crazy Ravenclaw girl, is this appropriate?"

"Of course, I can't restrict my friend and develop other friends, but at such a critical moment, won't he come with us to check the herbs for preparing the decoction?"

In the girls' bathroom where Myrtle was, Hermione angrily opened the book.

Harry and Ron sighed.

What can he do by calling him?

Just based on the "forgetfulness potion" that made Snape take a sip and immediately retrieve his memory?

Or his explosive ability that's almost on par with Seamus Finnigan?

This matter was actually very simple. It was a funny thing that happened in the Potions class when two cauldrons simultaneously made sharp explosions and billowing smoke. Snape, who finally caught the right opportunity, immediately deducted five points from Gryffindor.

"Isn't it right?"

"Sure enough, all you boys are like this!"

Seeing that the two men remained silent, Miss Granger, who was burning with jealousy, immediately turned her gun around. Harry and Ron had bitter faces and could only nod awkwardly.

Hermione was really scary when she was angry.

But this is inevitable. In front of a teenage girl with whom he has a strange crush, he claimed that he was going to find another girl who he didn't get along well with. Anyone would be furious about this.

The preparation of compound decoctions is actually not very complicated, but the raw materials required are of various types.

Lacewings, leech juice, sap grass and two-ear grass are all very basic and can be obtained in the student locker.

The horn of a two-horned beast ground into powder is a bit confusing, after all, none of the three people have ever seen a two-horned beast.

Fragments of African boomslang slough, which are very difficult to obtain.

Then, the most important thing is something about the person you want to become.

For children, it's hair and nails. But most people who prepare Polyjuice Potion don't hesitate to use blood, or even small pieces of meat from certain parts of the body. Seeing this, Hermione, Harry, and Ron all frowned at the same time.

In the illustration next to it, those people with particularly painful expressions do not seem to be the painter's imagination.

"What's 'a bit of the person you want to be'? If there's a toenail of Goyle or Crabbe in there... mouth area!"

Ron was the first to make a sharp explosion, and was slapped on the head by Hermione.

"We have too many things to steal. The fragments of African tree snake's slough can only be found in Snape's private storage room. This is a bit..."

Harry also raised objections.

"Are you scared?"

"I really don't want to break the school rules, but you see, isn't threatening a Muggle-born worse than mixing a potion?"

"Of course, I fully respect your opinion. If you don't want to find out whether it was Malfoy who did it, I will go to Ms. Pince now and return the book to her..."

Madam Pince was the librarian, and she looked at the note suspiciously for a long time while they were borrowing books.

Ron could only sigh when he heard this.

"Okay, but no toenails."

"I never thought I'd hear you advising us to break school rules - so how long will it take to prepare this potion?"

Harry complained, and seeing that Hermione was about to change her expression again, he quickly changed the subject.

The group chatted together and quickly finalized an action plan.

However, as soon as she left the bathroom, Hermione ran into a smiling Dudley.

"Come now?"

Miss Granger's face looked much better, but she still harbored a lot of resentment.

"Ah... it took up some time, but it seems that you have already come up with an idea?"

"No matter what, it's always a good idea to call me when the execution is underway."

Patting his chest and taking the bulky volume of "Powerful Potions", Dudley took out a verdant wicker crown made of twigs and green leaves from behind him like a magician and presented it to Hermione attentively.

"You...you just want this?"

"Oh, God, I...I..."

Miss Granger was stunned, her little face changing again and again, and finally she lowered her head in shame.

"I hope this makes up for my mistake."

Dudley smiled and placed the tiara on Hermione's brown hair. Miss Granger raised her face with a very bright smile on her face.

Dudley breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Hermione smile.

It seems that no matter what, as long as you admit your mistake first, things will be better, right?

But poor Whomping Willow, which was only half-healed, was ripped to pieces again.
