Harry Potter and the Attack of the Squibs

Chapter 86 Underground Forest

"It's already summer."

Professor Sputraw followed and scanned the inside of the greenhouse.

The herbs here are lush and lush, but the herbs in some flower pots look very lackluster. Those are the herbs that the house elves helped sort out before.

Lu Ke sighed: "Let's get started."

Professor Sputraw nodded, and the two walked into the greenhouse together.

Lu Ke smelled a very complex smell.

Professor Sputraw glanced at Lu Ke: "What's wrong with you?"

Lu Ke smiled: "Is it so obvious? I smell the smell of herbs."

Professor Sputraw shook his head: "You don't have the expression on your face that you smell something strange. No student has ever shown such an expression in front of me before."

Lu Ke was silent for a moment, and then showed a surprised expression: "I seem to have really changed something, these smells..."

He could clearly distinguish at least the flavors of dozens of different herbs, and even the flavors emitted by different parts of the same herb.

It felt a bit like Harry walking into a warm room in the winter and Hermione using a Cleansing Charm to sweep away the white mist on his lenses.

But what Lu Ke felt was the sense of smell.

"Those three herbs... changed me, but it doesn't seem like a curse..."

Lu Ke closed his eyes and walked through the greenhouse. Countless complex flavors passed through his nose. It was an unprecedented feeling.

"I really want to slowly start to understand what herbs are."

Professor Sputraw looked at Lu Ke with a smile: "Tell me about it."

Lu Ke opened his eyes: "In the new greenhouse, it is best not to plant mandrakes and sapgrass together."

Professor Sputraw nodded: "Because the frequent screams of Mandrake will make the Sapgrass, which likes silence, feel uncomfortable, but there are always people taking care of it in the greenhouse, so Mandrake does not scream often."

Lu Ke shook his head: "Just smelling the smell of mandrake grass will make the liquid grass feel uncomfortable."

Professor Sputraw was stunned.

"Lu Ke...this is something no one has ever said. Can you prove it?"

Lu Ke was silent for a moment: "I can't help it, I just smelled the fearful breath of liquid grass."

Professor Sputraw looked at the mandrakes on the side and sighed: "At first, these two kinds of herbs were indeed separated in different greenhouses, but then more and more herbs were collected in Hogwarts, and the greenhouse became more and more crowded. It’s getting more and more crowded, so the two of them have no choice but to be neighbors.”

She looked at Lu Ke and smiled: "It's amazing, you may really understand herbs as well as Hufflepuff."

Lu Ke smiled and shook his head: "How is that possible?"

Professor Sputraw shook his head: "Just being close is already amazing. According to legend, the greenhouse left by Hufflepuff is the only perfect greenhouse."

Lu Ke was stunned for a moment: "Perfect?"

Professor Sputraw nodded: "All the herbs are in the most suitable position, whether it is the light temperature, or even the type of herbs around them, the distance between them, and the time interval for automatic watering."

Lu Ke turned around and looked around: "That kind of greenhouse is too small."

Professor Sputraw was silent for a moment: "I don't think the so-called perfect greenhouse is the best choice. Naturally, the more herbs in the greenhouse, the better."

Lu Ke shook his head: "How big will the new greenhouse be?"

Professor Sputraw sighed: "If it is too big, it will be difficult to take care of, and it will not be suitable for students to attend classes."

Lu Ke thought for a while: "Why not do your best if you can do your best? It won't have a big impact if students take a few more steps in class."

Professor Sputraw nodded, then laughed: "So you're talking like a Hufflepuff now, Luke?"

Lu Ke smiled helplessly: "I can feel that the medicinal herbs hope so."

"Furthermore, Hufflepuff's so-called perfect greenhouse is actually achieved through other special methods."

Professor Sputraw was stunned for a moment: "What did you smell?"

Lu Ke pointed at his feet: "A huge mushroom forest."

Professor Sputraw was stunned for a moment: "How is that possible? There is a separate fungus room in the greenhouse!"

Lu Ke followed the smell he smelled and slowly walked to a floor.

There, a tiny green seedling was growing tenaciously from the cracks in the floor tiles.

Lu Ke sighed: "What a perfect disguise..."

He stretched out his hand, and the seedling trembled slowly as if it felt Lu Ke's presence.

The whole greenhouse was shaking.

Professor Sputraw rushed to Lu Ke's side: "What happened?"

Lu Ke smiled and took a step back: "You have already seen it."

Professor Sputraw's eyes widened in surprise.

In front of her, a series of giant mushrooms rose from the ground, lifting the floor tiles to reveal an ornate arch.

Behind the door is a staircase leading underground.

"Is this hidden in the greenhouse? Always there? Right under my nose."

Lu Ke smiled helplessly: "Wizards like to hide secrets, and Hufflepuff is probably willing to share them with others, but she also has secrets."

Professor Sputraw sighed: "Now I'm starting to wonder if I have the ability to build a new greenhouse."

Lu Ke smiled: "We can learn from Hufflepuff. Students are always stronger than teachers. The dye squeezed from blue grass will be bluer than the color of this grass."

Professor Sputraw nodded: "Another proverb from your hometown, but in fact many things are not necessarily like this."

Together they walked through the arch and down the steps.

Carrot snapped his fingers on the steps, and then a ball of light appeared floating over Lu Ke's shoulder.

Although Carrot looked calm, his expression was still full of surprise and excitement.

"The air is not that humid and doesn't smell like spores..."

There was not a mushroom forest under the steps as Lu Ke thought. Instead, there were dark green plants everywhere.

But it was not dark here. Carrot quickly put away the light source, but Lu Ke and Professor Sputraw did not lose sight of their feet.

Some kind of strange artificial light source stayed evenly on the sky, and the surroundings felt like an ordinary cloudy afternoon. Although the light was not dazzling, it was definitely enough.

Then Lu Ke smelled a smell that he couldn't resist.

It was undoubtedly a kind of medicinal herb, and Lu Ke could clearly distinguish the bitter taste in it, but what followed was a special fragrance that was far better than any medicinal herb.

This place is like a tropical rain forest. Anyone who walks in will get lost, but Lu Ke knows where the destination is.

He went straight to the source of the smell.

Passing through a patch of grass, Lu Ke finally saw a giant tree.

That was the source of the smell Lu Ke had smelled before.
