Chapter 36 Herbalism

September 1991, 9, Monday, overcast, then thunderstorm at night
Ed, who woke up in the morning, rubbed his eyes and saw that the skylight was gloomy, as if it was covered with a big cloth.Then he turned his head to look at his roommate, Draco was sleeping on his stomach with one foot exposed on the bed.

Perhaps this is one of the reasons why other houses are jealous of Slytherin House, where every dormitory is a room for two.

Ed put on his slippers, rubbed his head and went to the bathroom to wash up. When he was sitting on the toilet thinking about life, he suddenly heard something flying in through the window.

Ed quickly found the paper, stood up after wiping, and saw Bant floating in the air after he got out of the bathroom, with Ed's school uniform on it, which was still white.

Taking the clothes off the magic carpet, Ed hung it in the closet, then took out another one and put it on: "It doesn't look good today, let's talk about it tomorrow."

Magic Carpet Bant nodded as if nodding, then circled himself and leaned against the wall.

Putting everything in the original pocket into this clothes, Ed walked to the desk.There was a chair in front of the table with a green scarf on the back of the chair, and the academy emblem was placed on the table.

Picking up the school badge and pinning it on his chest, Ed looked at the clock hanging in the middle of the wall: seven forty

After thinking about it, he walked up to Draco and pushed him away.

"Who?"

At this time, Draco was dreaming that he would become a great wizard admired by everyone, when he was suddenly pushed, his dream was awakened.He looked at Ed with blurred eyes.

"The Charms class is going to be at nine o'clock. If you don't want Professor Flitwick to use the Fuchsia Curse, then get up quickly."

Dedraco sat up, scratched his head and asked Ed, "What time is it?"

"It's almost eight o'clock." Ed put the lake water he took yesterday into the comprehensive water quality analyzer, turned on the switch, put a scarf around his neck, and hurried away with a book.

He also has to eat breakfast.

And Draco watched Ed put the glass tube into the white Muggle machine that he took out, and said to himself strangely: "Can Muggle things be used in Hogwarts?"

Ed saw Elizabeth standing by the window alone, looking at the lake behind the glass, and asked curiously, "Why alone? Have you eaten early?"

Seeing that it was Ed, Elizabeth turned around and knelt slightly towards Ed, and replied with a smile, "Yes, I just came back."

"How early?"

"At home, my mother has always been strict with her requirements, so she left all of a sudden, but she couldn't change it."

"That's good." Ed nodded, then pointed to the door: "Then I'll eat."

Elizabeth curtseyed again. Seeing this scene, Ed was suddenly happy, smiled and shook his head and pushed the door out.

Fortunately, there was no need to walk those stairs from the Slytherin lounge to the dining room. Ed soon came to the dining room and saw Peeves pointing at Hermione's cute teeth and shouting: "The big mole ran into the school, you Should be taken to the Forbidden Forest by that idiot Hagrid! Do you like turnips? I think you must be sleeping in caves!"

Hermione held the book and wanted to drive Peeves away, but was dexterously dodged by this annoying guy.

"Weak legs and weak legs!" Ed pointed at Peeves with his wand, saw that it receded and hit his face on the ground, and then said to Hermione, "New students always have trouble with it, don't they?"

After speaking, Ed retracted his wand, leaving Hermione standing alone.

After breakfast, it was Charms class. Professor Flitwick was surprisingly small, like the goblins in Gringotts. During class, he had to stand on a stack of books to reach the desk.

In the first Charms class, Professor Flitwick didn't talk about esoteric or advanced spells.Corrected the pronunciation of each little wizard in the first hour, and taught everyone a guiding spell in the second half.Special magic in Hogwarts, it is said that it can be used when getting lost in the castle.

The wand leads the way.

The spell is very simple, as long as you find the right syllable and imagine the place you want to go, you can succeed.

Watching Professor Flitwick wriggling awkwardly on top of the book, Ed kept wondering why he didn't drink some potions to make himself taller, or just bring a book and use the Transfiguration Charm to turn it into a stool.To be more direct, come with a stool?

He was the first to succeed, successfully adding three points to Slytherin.

This made Draco on the side not gossip for the whole class, his lips were tightly pressed, and his teeth must be gritted.Just to be the second person to successfully cast the spell.

But there is no doubt that No.2 was taken by Hermione.

Professor Flitwick was delighted that only four of them managed to cast spells in the entire class.Because he originally planned to teach the students the guiding spell seriously in the next class.

Charms class is just a side dish for today, and the main dish is a class this afternoon.

Herbalism class, learn how to grow these exotic plants and fungi and find out what they are used for.

Therefore, Ed is looking forward to this class, hoping to see how traditional wizards conduct research on plants and fungi.Reference and reference are very meaningful for his future research.

Before class, a pudgy witch named Sprout took them to the greenhouse behind the castle to study herbology.Being there, it deepens the impression.Ed likes this way of teaching.

In the greenhouse, Sprout took Ed and others to the smallest greenhouse compartment. Because this semester enrolled twice as many people as usual, this greenhouse seemed a bit crowded.

Sprout looked at the students next to him, smiled and clapped his hands and said, "I didn't expect there to be so many people this year, oh ho ho, everyone put on your gloves. I don't know if you read books last night, who can tell?" Tell me about Marjoram?"

Sprout held up a pot of green herbaceous plants with a dozen small pale pink flowers at the top of the stalks.

Ed did his homework, of course not yesterday, when he bought the textbook, Ed had already flipped through it, raised his hand, got Sprout's nod, and said: "Native to the Mediterranean coast and Turkey, a semi-hardy perennial herb. The plant can grow to 30-60 cm high. The leaves are ovate and 2.5 cm long. The flowers are mostly white, sometimes pink. It belongs to the Lamiaceae."

"Can you describe its magical effect?"

"It is a common love magic herb, which makes people walk into the possibility of love. At the same time, it also has a sleeping effect. After waking up, it can make people feel full of energy and temporarily improve their memory.

When preparing for the exam, the effect should be very good. "!"

Sprout nodded in satisfaction, put down the marjoram in his hand, pointed to Ed and said, "What's your name?"

"Ad Lemay, you can call me Ed, ma'am."

"Ed, you earned five points for Slytherin."

Hearing the extra points, the little snakes couldn't help smiling.Although I don't know what the extra points are for, it's always beneficial, isn't it?

"Today we are going to learn how to prune marjoram branches and get rid of aphids. These are two very basic skills. If you want to grow magic plants in the future, these two skills are essential."

Saying that, Sprout clapped his hands, and then a pair of scissors and a pair of tweezers appeared in front of everyone.

"I will do a demonstration in front, because there are many people, so come in two batches. Don't squeeze, be careful not to pierce people with scissors. Also, when cutting leaves, you must breathe steadily.

Maybe you have seen or eaten marjoram, but the marjoram grown by our wizards is often more effective!About thirty times as much as wild or sixty times as much as Muggle-grown.

At your age, the effect of marjoram hypnosis is far stronger than that of aphrodisiac. I don't want to carry you back to the lounge one by one, and then ask you all to take leave. "

Sprout was still smiling, making the class seem less boring.
