But a few minutes after she left the house, Harry and Ron caught up with her.

Ron ran up to her out of breath, the freckles on his face becoming more obvious, and he blocked her way like an old hen flapping its wings:

"Merlin's beard! Thanks to the Freezing Spell! Otherwise we would have been thrown out of the window!"

"It's a pity that Malfoy wasn't thrown out, but a lot of his hair was pulled out!"

He continued to grumble to Jane about Lockhart:

"I don't know why both you and Hermione like him. She even drew his timetable in the shape of a heart!"

"If you ask me, I don't believe he can teach well at all!"

Harry nodded repeatedly:

"He has no idea what he's doing—"

Jane Yu didn't have the patience to continue listening to the protagonist and his assistant arguing about Lockhart and Malfoy. She just wanted to stay away from the protagonist group to avoid repeating the mistakes made at the beginning of the school year.

"Excuse me - if there is nothing urgent, I will go back first."

Ron slapped his head and remembered something:

"Well, I'm here to remind you to be careful with Fred and George. I suspect they're targeting you."

"Ever since they found out you drove 160 mph to Hogwarts, they've been asking me about you—"

Why should I be so careful? It's not like I'm being targeted by a noseless bald boss!

Jian Yu thought to himself.

But Ron saw her carelessness and quickly emphasized:

"You have to be careful! They love playing tricks on others. Filch has a whole drawer of their disciplinary records!"

Seeing that Jian Yu was going to brush it off, he hurriedly spoke out:

"When I was three, they turned my toys into moving spiders. When I was five, they tricked me into almost taking an unbreakable vow. That was the first time Dad got so angry—"

His words were suddenly interrupted, because the person he was talking about was standing behind him, one on each side, with one hand on his shoulder. Ron's face suddenly twisted.

Two tall red-haired boys spoke in a playful tone:

"In front of any lady——"

"In front of an elegant lady——"

"It's not a nice thing to say bad things about us, Mama's little Ronnie baby—"

Jian Yu recognized that they were the two men who had carried her to the Gryffindor table at the Christmas dinner. After all, two red-haired boys who looked exactly the same were so easy to identify.

Then they doffed their hats to her in a funny way, and a boy, either Fred or George, said:

"Little lonely snake - George salutes you -"

His twin brother poked him, and he immediately changed his words:

"Just kidding - I'm Fred -"

The brothers began to curiously ask her how she could drive the car at a speed of 160 mph, because they did not expect that a Slytherin girl who had never touched a magical car could drive their brother across half of the UK.

"It's simple. Accelerate and step on the clutch to increase the gear. That's the way a Muggle drives."

She recalled the car without seat belts and air bags and suggested sincerely:

"Why not add a safety device? If it weren't for the levitation charm, we would all fall to our deaths."

The Weasley brothers looked at each other, clapped their hands in tacit understanding, and one of them whistled:

"Good advice—we sincerely—"

"Sincerely—"

"You are invited to join the Weasley Prank Research Group—"

They had heard about Jane Yu's crazy behavior in class last year, and their intuition told them that they would get along well with her, but because she was an "evil Slytherin", they did not talk to her.

But this year is different. Jane Yu drove a modified Muggle vehicle to school with Ron and Harry. This at least shows that she has no prejudice against Muggle items and Gryffindor students, and can be classified as "one of our own".

"Sorry, I'm not interested." Jian Yu looked indifferent and took a step back, intending to return to the dormitory.

But the Weasley twins obviously did not give up, and their advantage as batsmen was immediately brought into play. They quickly blocked Jian Yu's path with their bodies and continued to persuade her:

"Wouldn't you like to throw a dungbomb at Filch on your night out?"

"Or blow up the toilet and put the toilet seat over that Malfoy's head -"

I have to say, this is indeed very tempting.

She seemed to have seen the professors, their faces turning blue with anger, deducting heavy points from Slytherin's house.

This is pretty cool.

The twins will definitely be a big help on her road to dropping out of school!

Seeing that she agreed, the boy, who was either Fred or George, quickly took out a small box of cookies with a canary picture on it and gave it to her as a "gift for new members."

"A new product from Honeydukes, for the lovely Miss Snake." He said with a grin.

Then one of the twins covered Ron's mouth with one hand, as he was about to say something to Jane Yu, and used the other arm to strangle his neck and drag him away; while the other one playfully raised the brim of his hat and said goodbye to her:

"See you later, little snake—"

Return to the dormitory.

Jian Yu looked closely at the box of Canary cookies.

She didn't believe that this was some new product from Honeydukes. It was probably a prank they were researching.

Maybe it can be used to deal with people who are blind.

Thinking this, she threw the biscuits into her bag.

She didn't expect that the cookies would come in handy so soon.

......

The second class in the afternoon was herbal medicine class.

Professor Sprout asked them to repot the mandrake.

These herbs can restore a deformed or cursed person to their original state, but hearing their cries can be fatal.

Fortunately, these mandrakes are not yet mature and are still in their infancy.

Professor Sprout prepared more than 20 pairs of earmuffs of different colors for them and reminded them of the precautions:

"Be sure to wear your earmuffs securely, otherwise young mandrakes will make you unconscious for several hours."

Jian Yu did as she was told, but when she put on the pink earmuffs, she noticed that Goyle and Crabbe were whispering about a meter away from her and casting malicious glances at her from time to time.

She couldn't help but secretly raise her guard.

The mandrake pulled out of the soil was not a common root, but a very ugly baby. Jian Yu strongly suspected that it was the ginseng spirit in the legend of the previous life. But it was obviously not as cute as the ginseng doll in the legend. Its skin was light green with spots on it, and its wrinkled face looked like a little old man.

She and Theodore completed the task very smoothly. Their pot of mandrake was still fast asleep when it was pulled out. It just pursed its lips in dissatisfaction and made a small sound like a cat's meow before being stuffed back into the soil.

"Miss Jane and Mr. Nott have finished, plus one point for Slytherin!" Professor Sprout announced.

Goyle and Crabbe looked at them with envy. Their pot of mandrake did not give them any face at all, shaking and struggling in the soil, avoiding their hands, just like it had a deep hatred for them.

Others were clearly having just as much trouble as they were.

Draco pulled out the mandrake, and the baby twisted its body, kicked its feet, waved its fists, and opened its mouth to scream. He put his finger into the mouth of the mandrake, was bitten, and began to shake his hand in panic; Pansy and Millicent used all their strength, but they couldn't control the struggling mandrake. It jumped directly to the ground, and Professor Sprout angrily deducted 1 point.

When Professor Sprout turned around to see how the Ravenclaw students had finished, Goyle and Crabbe took action. Jane didn't even know how they managed to move so fast given their weight - they rushed behind her, took off her earmuffs and threw them on the ground.

She only had time to cover her ears with her hands - oh no, she heard the shrill cry of Mandrake!

But something strange happened.

She was not unconscious, and she didn't even feel dizzy or nauseous!

——This is totally against common sense!

Theodore at the side quickly picked up the earmuffs and put them on her, and gestured to ask her if she needed to go to the medical wing.

Jian Yu shook her head. She suddenly had an outrageous guess.

But before verifying this guess, she had to deal with those two stupid guys, Goyle and Crabbe.
