Chapter 144 Win-win cooperation
"What? Fuck!" Lockhart didn't seem to know why this happened. The few Kobes who were close to him had already set their sights on his dark yellow dress studded with lace gems, and flew towards him with a sharp posture as they sharpened their knives.
Lockhart was finally frightened. Seeing the classroom being wreaked havoc by the Kobes and the disfigured portrait of himself that had been eaten by them, Lockhart immediately lay on the ground and retreated to the classroom bit by bit. door.
"Professor Lockhart?" Ginny first noticed Lockhart's abnormality and immediately looked up at the nervous Lockhart at the door.
Other students who were struggling with the elves were immediately attracted by Ginny's call and asked Lockhart for help.
"Professor Lockhart, think of a solution!"
"Professor Lockhart, why did you run to the door?"
A cowardly guy who runs away from battle! You are so unworthy of Ravenclaw!
Astoria had just taken out a baby hidden in her golden fluffy hair and stared at the door impatiently.
"Students, don't be afraid, these babies only eat bamboo shoots, not humans! The professor specially gives you the opportunity to challenge this time!" After Lockhart finished speaking, he immediately slammed the door and ran away without looking back, without giving any chance. The students present were given a chance to react.
"Eat people! They still eat people!!!!" A few boys at the back of the seats who hadn't paid much attention to the class were now panicking and lying on the ground nervously, shaking.
"Are you stupid? The professor said it only eats bamboo shoots and not humans!" Ginny stepped forward and impatiently grabbed a Gryffindor classmate's ear and stood up, criticizing his timidity.
"But...but these Kobes don't just eat bamboo shoots, oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..." Colin, while trying to protect his precious camera from being destroyed by the Kobes, he didn't forget to wail and cry at Ginny.
"Man, don't cry casually!" Ginny was about to cry because of these brainless boys who only complained!
"Leah, what should we do?" Rosa hid nervously behind Leah, feeling frightened as she looked at the growing number of more and more dense Kebei troops in the classroom.
"Kebei! Kebei! Kebei!"
It's much more terrifying to see the small and cute creatures gathered in a bunch, baring their teeth and claws, saying the same slogan and eating every existence indiscriminately.
"I don't know either, but first I have to at least find a way not to let them copy anymore..." Astoria looked helplessly at the large patches of white flowers and the disturbing sounds that kept lingering in her ears. But Bei Sheng felt like his whole head was about to explode.
"Wingardium leviosa!"
As Astoria held her wand tightly and raised her hand, following the direction where her eyes were locked, the gathered kebabs were imprisoned by some mysterious force and seemed to be floating in the air, unable to move.
"Wow! Leah, you succeeded!" Rosa excitedly stepped forward and hugged Astoria tightly, shaking her arms.
"Don't... don't touch me." Astoria's movements were a bit laborious, and she almost failed to maintain the spell, allowing Kebei to escape.
"Sorry." Rosa did something wrong again. She immediately let go of Astoria's hand and pursed her lower lip nervously.
"This spell... is the levitation spell we learned in Charms class yesterday!" Ginny carefully recalled Astoria's movements and the spell she had just spoken, her eyes widened in sudden realization and she was about to jump with excitement.
"Since Miss Weasley is so smart, please help me. I really can't do anything else..." Astoria's face, which was already too pale, is now even more pale. He looked like he was extremely weak.
Ginny immediately nodded solemnly and began to try to cast spells to deal with the large number of remaining kombets that were still replicating and multiplying.
"My delicate and frail little roommate, our Charms class is also doing well!" Chloe muttered a few words about Astoria, and then looked at Shiblank in tacit understanding, and the two of them shouted in unison Say the mantra.
"Wingardium leviosa!"
With the four girls Leah, Ginny, Chloe and Shiblank taking the lead, the rest of the students, even if they were not yet proficient in learning spells, began to work hard to save their classroom. The most important thing was Save themselves.
In the corner, there were a few smart Kobes who realized something was wrong and hid in an attempt to escape through the window at the back of the classroom. But this group of creatures is so terrifying that if they are allowed to go out and feast, they will not be able to replicate what they will look like!
"Bock! Blackie! Close the window!"
"Colin! Neil! Don't let them escape the window!"
Astoria and Ginny spoke at the same time. Neither of them expected that the other party had such a tacit understanding with them, so they looked back at each other in surprise. Several boys in the back row took action one after another. While driving Kebei flying towards the window, they hurriedly locked the window.
"It's strange, they eat everything, why can't they eat the windows and escape?" Colin asked a very constructive question that is worthy of everyone's consideration.
Astoria couldn't help but think that after Professor Lockhart put them... no, he put them in a closed test tube, it didn't eat the test tube. Instead, after escaping, it could stuff the glass test tube into its mouth in one breath. Swallow.
Maybe... creatures like Kebei don't have the instinct to escape from a closed space at all...
"I know!" Astoria seemed to have understood some truth, her eyes suddenly blinked brightly. Look around the classroom and ask everyone.
"Do any of you have a jar? Any jar will do!"
"...jar?"
"Who would bring a jar to class? This is not a herbal medicine class..."
Seeing everyone discussing this matter lively but no one started to search, Astoria couldn't help but feel disappointed. The only way she thought of could not be implemented...
"Well, I think I brought it, but I don't know if it was eaten." Rosalant hesitantly raised her hand to signal, and Astoria's excited and expectant eyes stared at her. He couldn't help but swallow nervously.
"It's okay, go look for it!" Astoria asked Rosa. She immediately ran under her seat, rummaged through her schoolbag for a long time before slowly taking out a jam jar the size of an adult's hand. Also filled with crystal clear jam.
"My mother sent this this morning..." Rosarant hesitated, guessing what Astoria might have planned.
"Then this jam..." Astoria looked at Rosa's pitiful expression and was inexplicably unable to speak.
"Then why are you still standing there? Our safety is more important than jam now. Not only have you not contributed any of your magic to help us control Kebei since class, but now you can't even bear to part with a can?" It's Hebran again? Ke couldn't stand it any longer, so she spoke rudely to interrupt Rosa's indecisive expression. Although I don’t know what Astoria wants the jar for, at least her decision has not gone wrong so far.
Rosa subconsciously looked at Astoria, but what was surprising was that Astoria didn't say anything for her this time, but silently avoided her gaze.
"Okay, then I'll pour it out now." Rosa sighed helplessly, poured all the jam in the jar on the floor in the corner, and then carefully wiped the remaining jam residue in the glass jar and put it Leave it to Astoria.
"Thank you." Astoria nodded to Rosa seriously, her eyes sincere.
"Leave it to you!" Astoria touched Shiblank's shoulder casually, and then released the shackles of the wand before she could react, causing Kebei who broke free from the shackles to become even more noisy and rampage at any time. A posture that destroys everything.
"Kebeke——" Kebei, who broke free from the restraints, had no time to say the word a few times before he was once again controlled by Shiblank's spell and floated in the air.
"What the hell are you doing!" Shiblank was very unhappy and pointed the hand without the wand at Astoria in front of him and complained.
"With great power come great responsibilities, please be more supportive!" Astoria turned to Shiblanco and raised the corners of her lips teasingly, smiling encouragingly. Then he turned around and placed the jar on the floor where the podium originally stood, raised his wand and cast a spell.
"Enforgio!" (Get bigger quickly)
In an instant, the fist-sized jar became extremely huge in a flash of light, as tall as an adult man.
"Wow!!!" Some students behind him couldn't help but start to be shocked and admired.
"OK! Now please slowly lead these babies to the jar. Thank you everyone." Astoria turned to the audience and bowed sincerely, with a gentle and calm smile on her face. It seems that this Kebei crisis has been resolved.
Then, with the help of Gryffindor and Slytherin classmates, Astoria used magic to open the huge lid. Astoria immediately closed the lid tightly after all the kebabs were put into the glass jar.
……
The silence lasted for a long time, and the air was filled with the sound of Kebei hitting the glass in the glass jar or noisy but inescapable sounds.
"Successful..." A boy in the crowd said hesitantly to himself...
"We succeeded..."
"We made it!"
"Yeah! Success!!!"
Immediately afterwards, lively cheers and screams came one after another. The students hugged each other excitedly and smiled at each other. The two houses that had always been hostile were now excitedly laughing and even hugging each other. The Gryffindor students almost wanted to Started singing and dancing on the spot...
"Hey! You're pretty awesome!" Shiblank quietly bumped into Astoria's shoulder. Although he didn't even give her a direct look, Leah still felt the weak but powerful look of Shiblank. Precious affection.
"Thank you." Astoria nodded slowly, raised her eyebrows playfully, and readily accepted Shiblank's appreciation.
"Hey, why are you still-"
"Hey, stop bickering. We are all doing well today!" Chloe quietly came up from behind and hugged Astoria and Shiblank, who was still preparing to find trouble. Hug the two of them tightly together.
"Today, everyone is a hero!"
Listening to Chloe's low and rare serious tone, both Shiblank and Astoria slowly quieted down, enjoying a little moment of peace in Chloe's arms.
