Hogwarts: Bourne Returns from Warhammer

Chapter 47 Successive Accidents (Page 12)



The lawn where his flying lessons were held was located near Gryffindor Tower. Not far away, one could see the sparkling black lake and the Forbidden Forest adjacent to the lake.

In order to divide the area, a large bush half as tall as a man was planted on the edge of the lawn. When the breeze blew, there was a rustling sound of leaves in the bush, and the smell of ripe berries could be smelled in the air.

Bourne, who was about to get on the broomstick, suddenly twitched his nose twice. "Why is there a little more smell?" As the grandson of a potion master, his sense of smell has naturally been specially cultivated, so his sensitivity has become far beyond that of ordinary people.

At this moment, he heard a slight cry of pain coming from beside him again. It was Harry who was crying in pain.

And as if this was a signal, a bunch of strange things rolled out of the bushes at the same time - there were more than twenty by visual inspection - pomegranate-colored cabbages? !

They either rolled all the way, or jumped by relying on the expansion and contraction blades, and surrounded the little wizards.

What is this?

Bourne didn't recognize them and wasn't even sure whether they were animals or plants.

Not to mention him, even Mrs. Huo Qi, who teaches flying lessons, looked confused when she looked at these round balls.

To everyone's surprise, Neville, who seemed like a naive boy in the past, was the first person present to recognize what this thing was. "Everyone, be careful! This is biting cabbage!" Neville loudly reminded his friends around him.

Biting cabbage was originally a magical plant native to the Mediterranean area, but because it was later spread to the East and then spread back to Europe via the Silk Road, European wizards also used to call them "Chinese biting cabbage". Cabbage”.

However, even though they look round and resemble iron-eating beasts in the plant world, they are actually quite dangerous magical plants.

European wizards first introduced biting cabbage. They actually wanted to use this magical plant to clean up the goblins breeding in the fields.

But in the end they discovered that biting cabbage would eat up the gnomes, but they would also chew up other crops in the field.

Even when mature, biting cabbage will attack all animals and plants it encounters, including the wizard who planted them.

Many of the wizards who first planted biting cabbage had their fingers or toes bitten off due to improper handling, and had to go to St. Mungo's to spend money to restore them.

Although Neville has issued a reminder, there are still some in this group of young wizards who do not take it seriously, such as Zabini Brace.

"Neville, you little crybaby is just some cabbage with legs, and you are actually afraid of them." He made a face at Neville, then raised his foot and kicked one of them that rolled near him. The bite of kale.

bang~

The biting cabbage was kicked away by Zabini.

That's it?

Seeing this scene, the little wizard who was originally nervous because of Neville's shout also began to feel that these biting cabbages were nothing more than that.

However, the next second, they were horrified to see the biting cabbage kicked away, suddenly revealing a big mouth with thick fangs hidden in the heart of the cabbage. Because the blades had been fully opened at this time, its flight trajectory in mid-air turned sharply downwards, and fell towards Draco Malfoy's head.

"There are many obstacles!"

At the critical moment, it was Mrs. Hooch who took action in time and used a barrier spell to eject the biting cabbage. This prevented the ending of the little Malfoy's previous story from becoming a reality - he almost became almost dead. Head Nick.

Draco shrank his neck in fear, and then looked at his Slytherin classmate Zabini fiercely.

Crabbe and Goyle, who were standing next to him, were also gearing up and glaring at Zabini fiercely, as if they would rush over to teach this guy a lesson as soon as Draco spoke.

"Flying lessons are suspended, all of you should return to the castle quickly," Mrs. Hooch's words relieved Zabini.

Seeing that the situation was not going well, the little naughty boy turned around and ran away, and the other little snakes and little lions followed suit and spread their legs.

But at this time, something suddenly went wrong.

The biting cabbage, which was kicked for no reason and then bounced away by the obstacle spell, seemed to have fallen into some kind of "violent" mode. It seemed to have identified Draco, opening its mouth wide and pounced on the little wizard.

Although Mrs. Huo Qi could always use the obstacle spell to stop it in time, the biting cabbage's behavior of targeting one person also left the witch free to organize the students to evacuate in an orderly manner.

Moreover, Draco, who was constantly being attacked, could hardly leave the place.

Goyle and Crabbe wanted to help, so they picked up their broomsticks and used them as weapons to hit the biting cabbage. However, within a few hits of the two broomsticks, all the biting cabbage was broken into several pieces.

"Help!" Draco screamed in horror.

Bourne, who had already turned around to return to the castle with the other Gryffindor lion cubs, heard the voice and looked back. He immediately turned around and prepared to rescue Draco - a few days ago, when the Slytherin Quidditch team "bullied" him, Draco not only reminded him quietly beforehand, but also secretly called in Snake. Professor Pu wanted to save him.

Although he is not afraid of school violence, Bourne has always responded with kindness to others for helping him.

"What's going on with you, don't go there, hurry up..."

The running Bourne passed by quickly, and when she saw that the child not only did not leave the lawn, but rushed towards Draco, Mrs. Hooch couldn't help but feel angry and anxious.

It didn't matter that she was anxious, but the rhythm of the spell was interrupted, and the obstacle spell she had just cast on Draco lost its effectiveness. The big, clicking mouth biting the cabbage was now less than ten centimeters away from Draco's pale face.

"Ah!" Draco screamed again.

However, something unexpected happened to everyone: a long tongue suddenly appeared from the air, grabbed the biting cabbage with a "swish", and then carried it with lightning speed. The biting cabbage shrank back, and the biting cabbage was swallowed into the mouth by a large golden-backed toad with dark golden stripes on its back.

"Leifu, it's you! Oh, by the way, I forgot to leave food for you! No wonder the memory ball turns red!"

Bourne heard Neville's excited shouts from behind. The fat little wizard also ran back, and he recognized at a glance that the big toad that had swallowed the biting cabbage that attacked Malfoy was his pet Leif who had been placed in the dormitory but had forgotten to leave food.

"Cuckoo..." The big toad, which had been following Neville for three days and nine meals, gave its little master a very humane look, and then made a loud croak by inflating its membranes.

It's not a rant.

It compresses the air and bites to crush the biting cabbage in its mouth and then swallow it.

"Little Malfoy, why don't you thank Neville quickly? It was his pet that saved you!" Ron, who was running back with Neville, now started a provocative conversation with Draco.

In fact, when they saw Bourne turning his head to save people, everyone left in their dormitory - Ron, Harry, Seamus, and Neville - although they could not understand why Bourne would save Malfoy, they They all immediately ran back together to help.
