Absolutely Safe, No Bad Reviews!
In the many greenhouses of Hogwarts, there are countless magical plants, some dangerous and some precious.
However, regardless of whether it was the Devil's Snare that William developed for foot massage;
I still prefer the Venomous Tentacula lurk in the corner, ambushing students...
None of them can compare to the Whomping Willow standing on the edge of the Forbidden Forest.
This magical plant has a bad temper and a strong sense of territory.
In other words, in its view, the Forbidden Forest belongs to it!
These foolish wizards at Hogwarts are all at its service!
This is even harder to please than a cat.
The Whomping Willow that was transplanted to help Lupin transform is now over eighty years old, which is about eight years old according to the human lifespan.
His temper was like that of a spoiled child, and he was incredibly irritable.
Seeing the hesitant and timid students, Professor Sprout began his lesson by asking:
Does anyone know where the Whomping Willow originated?
"The Black Forest region," Qiu quickly raised her hand and said.
The Black Forest, also known as the Teutoburg Forest.
Located in the mountains of Baden-Württemberg in southwestern Germany, it is a vast primeval forest, Lynch in the United Kingdom.
Last summer, William and Hermione passed through there when they went to Vienna for a meeting.
As for Qiu, I had only heard Cedric mention her.
It's said that the place is full of materials for making wands... He even suggested taking her camping there during summer vacation.
A lone man and a lone woman... Qiu, of course, refused.
But to be fair, Cedric was completely misled by Newt.
During his honeymoon that year, he took Tina deep into the mountains and forests.
He even shared this as dating advice with William and the others...
"Very good, Ravenclaw two points." Professor Sprout nodded.
"So what is the biggest challenge in planting Whomping Willow?" she asked, looking around.
Today's task is to plant a batch of Whomping Willow, and all of this must be explained in advance.
But no one answered, because the Whomping Willow was not a plant in the curriculum, and no one had prepared for it beforehand.
Professor Sprout was somewhat disappointed, and finally looked at William and said, "Mr. Stark?"
"In its early stages, the Whomping Willow hasn't yet taken root in the soil; after planting, it can move independently."
"Yes, Ravenclaw five points," Professor Sprout praised.
The "Whomping Willow" can not only attack others, but it can also "run" around randomly.
This is similar to the magical plant ginseng from the Far East.
This William is familiar.
There have always been rumors that ginseng can run away.
When a wizard encounters ginseng in the wild but has Sickle to dig up, or wants to wait until it grows bigger before digging it up, he will mark it with a red string.
That red rope wasn't something you just found anywhere; it was a specially made magical item with tracking capabilities.
So next time you encounter people from Dongbai digging for ginseng and tying red strings, don't provoke them; they might be hidden sorcerers.
"Now, everyone come to me to get your Whomping Willow '," Professor Sprout cheerfully told his students.
"These are saplings cultivated from Whomping Willow branches I've collected over the past twenty years."
Willows have an extremely strong ability to grow.
Generally, you can simply cut off a healthy, sturdy branch, remove the larger leaves, and place it in water to allow it to take root.
The Whomping Willow" is also a willow tree and has this characteristic, but it is not as easy to survive as the ordinary willow.
Moreover, they don't like the United Kingdom environment and are considered a failed invasive species compared to Xiaolong.
Of course, some people will say that Xiaolong, as an invasive species, is quite a failure.
But the truth is... foodies can't solve any invasive species problem.
Including Xiaolong.
As a mature commodity, Xiaolong production aims to maximize economic benefits.
The lobsters on the market are all farmed on a large scale. Wild lobsters, on the other hand, are more expensive to catch.
Therefore, eating more Xiaolong now might contribute to the aquaculture industry, but it won't solve the problem of biological invasion.
Sprout, a master of Herbology, after extensive research, still managed to cultivate many Whomping Willow seedlings suitable for planting in the United Kingdom using branches.
What William and his team needed was simply to plant these saplings.
They are natural guardians if Death Eaters invade.
The students, wearing Dragonhide Gloves, lined up to take each of the tiny seedlings.
The seedlings were only half a meter tall, and when they felt someone touch them, they began to dance wildly.
William's Whomping Willow was also struggling violently, but with a slight twist of his fingers, the branch twisted into an astonishingly full arc.
He used his Divine Finger to probe deep into the dense foliage, caressing a slightly raised area.
That spot immediately hardened, forming a bump, while the Whomping Willow softened and finally went limp in William's hand.
Whomping Willow all have weaknesses, namely, a certain spot on their trunk that is their sensitive point.
However, in young * Whomping Willow, the joint protrusions haven't grown in yet, making it difficult to pinpoint their exact location.
Fortunately, William was Bowtruckle, a Fantastic Beasts that guards trees and can locate them very accurately.
William would call this a forbidden spell of equal power to the One Thousand Years of Death –the Morgan Era!
Other students weren't so lucky.
They used their Whomping Willow to attack each other and even beat up their own little wizard.
There was even a 'Whomping Willow' that ran over to the old 'Whomping Willow,' seemingly urging it to roll away quickly.

It seems it has its eye on that auspicious location.
So the even more irritable Whomping Willow lashed out with a tail whip attack, sending it flying.
Are the Whomping Willow trees always this brave?
Didn't you know they knew martial arts?!
After class, the students rushed towards Hagrid's Hut without even having time to wash up.
Since the Giant came to the United Kingdom during the summer holidays, Hagrid has also returned with them.
So, Professor Grubbly-Plank left the school again... She really was the most pitiful tool.
But most of the students who continued to choose this course did so because of her.
She didn't continue attending classes, and everyone felt they had been deceived.
In front of Hagrid's cabin, there are several large vats.
Hufflepuff's Orla glanced at it and immediately screamed.
The buckets were filled with animals about a foot long, slimy and white, wriggling incessantly.
It looked like a huge vat of giant maggots; the scene was truly shocking.
"What is this?" Qiu asked, her face filled with disgust.
"Giant Grub," Hagrid explained.
"What will they become when they grow up?" Bradley asked, looking terrified.
"They will become a docile Butterfree that can quickly collect pollen and then produce a kind of butterfly honey."
Honeydukes pea flower syrup uses this kind of syrup; it's very sweet.
Hagrid's hardcore approach has clearly backfired.
Especially knowing that the honey came from a type of maggot...
Many students felt disgusted and said they would never go to Honeydukes again.
Another student, with a butterfly honey candy in his mouth, also couldn't help but S.P.E.W..
This reminded William of a time in his past life when his roommate bought a case of instant noodles.
He ate seven or eight packets that night, saying it was the best instant noodles in the world.
The next day, rumors suddenly spread throughout the school that it was made from corpse oil from the crematorium.
From then on, William never saw him buy snacks again.
The first Care of Magical Creatures was clearly not about feeding Giant Grub.
Because they are too low in danger, or, in Hagrid's words... lack challenge.
Hagrid opened the bamboo basket, and several small blue snakes appeared inside.
The snakes had horns on their heads, a gem on their foreheads, and they hissed as they flicked their tongues.
The students all backed away in fear, even more terrified than when they saw the Whomping Willow."
Planting Whomping Willow will at most get you whipped a few times, but this thing... you might accidentally get bitten.
In their simple understanding: snakes with triangular heads are all poisonous... so this snake must be poisonous.
In fact... it is indeed poisonous, and highly poisonous at that.
However, Hagrid continued to comfort him:
"Don't be afraid, it's Horned Serpent."
"Although the Horned Serpent is incredibly venomous, it is relatively tame and gentle."
I asked the guy selling snakes, and he said their shop has never had a bad review from a buyer; it's very safe.
"..."
Hearing Hagrid's words, the students ran even faster.
William couldn't help but sigh, "Is this what teaching a graduating class is like?"
I love it! I love it!
(Thanks to the "Cryptomeria Feifen" boss for the reward.)
