International students at Hogwarts

Chapter 98

After Professor Sprout finished speaking, he waved his wand, and a bucket appeared in front of each little wizard, which was used to hold the harvested crops.

Lu Ren tried it, and he couldn't understand why this effect could be achieved... But it's still possible to follow the gourd.

He imitated Professor Sprout's movements and tried his best to restore the spell. A tomato seedling in front of him trembled, and then the tomatoes on it fell into the bucket prepared in advance.

The vast majority of young wizards succeed the first time, and it seems that this spell is not too difficult.However, the effects of each wizard's cast are slightly different.

Professor Sprout can clear all the crops within nearly ten square meters at once, but Lu Ren can only clear the tomatoes on one seedling.The best performer among the young wizards this year was not Hermione, but Hannah Abbott, who was in the same group as Lu Ren.

She can clear all the crops on the surface of about five square meters in one fell swoop, and then use it again to dig out all the underground crops.

"Amazing!" Lu Ren gave her a thumbs up.

Hannah is obviously a slightly shy little girl, she waved her hands repeatedly, "It's nothing, it's nothing! It's nothing, it's just skillful. You know, I often help in the bar at my uncle's house, so I'm better at life magic."

"Don't be so modest!" Lu Ren waved his wand again, "I feel like I'm not as effective as your spellcasting even if I'm proficient."

Hermione on the side swung her wand violently, causing several pumpkins to fall into the ground and turned into pumpkin puree.

The little wizards got busy, and piles of vegetables and crops appeared in the fields. After they harvested, they needed to replant the crops quickly, and by the way, apply some magic fertilizer invented by Professor Sprout.

When get out of class was about to end, most of the little lion cubs and little badger cubs had finished their work: harvesting and replanting.Professor Sprout also pushed a somewhat strange car.

The trolley is a four-wheeled trolley with a tin box on it, and a scale on the trolley.Professor Sprout parked the car at the edge of the field and gave each little wizard a badge.

Gryffindor's badge is the head of a little lion, and Hufflepuff is the head of a badger, both in Q version. There is also the name of each little wizard on the front of the badge, and the names of their team members are engraved on the back. name.

"This is your badge. In the future, the number of crystals will be recorded in the badge, and you will only accept badges for payment when you buy things in school." Sprout explained the purpose of the badge.

"Okay, you all come to weigh the fruits of your labor before get out of class ends." She motioned to the students to put the crops in the box on the trolley, "Do you have any questions, Miss Granger? "

Everyone followed Professor Sprout's eyes and looked at Hermione who raised her hand.

"Professor, how do we get rid of those beasts? They destroy a lot of our crops."

When she first came to the vegetable field, she was shocked by what she saw. If she couldn't make an effective response, this kind of tragedy would only happen again.

"Presumably you have already understood the consequences of not being prepared to drive out the beasts." Sprout nodded noncommittally, with a gentle smile on her face, and she glanced at the little guys in front of her.

"So do you have any good methods? Tell me and listen."

Hermione raised her hand again.

Ron couldn't help muttering: "Ask yourself and answer yourself!"

"Build a fence high enough!" Hermione replied with extra confidence.This is the knowledge she learned at home and has nothing to do with the wizarding world.

"Good idea." Professor Sprout nodded. "But it's not enough. Hares can make holes, wild boars are strong enough to break through fences, and pheasants can fly in. It's a temporary solution, not the root cause. Anyone else have an idea?"

Susan Bones, a first-year Hufflepuff, raised her hand. "I've seen fields with onions and garlic that are less disturbed, so we can grow some onions and garlic."

"Good idea. There are many foods that are harmless to humans, but animals will die if they eat them, such as grapes, onions, and cocoa beans. There are also some that animals avoid because of their pungent smell, such as garlic, Peppers. That's a really good idea."

Professor Sprout agrees. "But these methods are too 'Muggle', we wizards naturally have our own way. We must learn to use magic." She gave a meaningful look at the little wizards present.

"Professor, may I ask how we can get the professors' method of exorcising animals?" Lu Ren asked, and the professors' method of exorcising animals is much more reliable than what they just proposed.

Professor Sprout raised his eyebrows, and finally a little guy got his point.

"Buy it." She replied very simply, "Minerva's expulsion-type scarecrow, [-] crystals, and the effect of the transfiguration spell can last for about a month. The methods of Professor Snape and Professor Flitwick, I am not It's very clear, you can find a chance to ask them. I also have some body fluids of large beasts here, which can effectively repel beasts, and the price is also cheaper. A bottle of [-] crystals can cover about [-] square meters."

Lu Ren curled his lips. Professor Sprout dug a small hole. First of all, the coverage area is a bit small. It seems that Sprout has tampered with the bodily fluids. Second, how long can the smell last?If these two questions cannot be answered, it is better not to rush to buy the potion in her hand.

Professor McGonagall's scarecrow is quite reliable, enough to repel most wild animals, and it looks quite strong, and it is estimated that it can also dissuade wild boars.

The only downside is that it's expensive.But things are expensive, and it's your fault, not the fault of the stuff.

But it seems that the patrol range of a scarecrow is quite large...

"Let's weigh the harvest first and then decide which plan to use." Lu Ren decided to see how much start-up capital he could have.

He "moved" his crops into the box little by little by type, and finally he and Hannah got a total of 3571 crystals.The harvest of their group is conservatively estimated at seven thousand crystals.There are ten people at the Gryffindor level, forming ten groups.Evenly divided, each group only needs to pay [-] crystals to buy a scarecrow!

After the little wizards sold their crops, Lu Ren shared his plan with the little wizards.It also got a good response. Although some groups couldn't even gather [-] crystals, they could still buy them if they squeezed together.

In addition, the fields of the first grade are all next to each other, and buying a scarecrow is also a good solution.

The little wizards decided to discuss it with their team members at noon, and if everyone had no objections, then it was decided.
