Harry Potter and the Attack of the Squibs

"Wizards everywhere require you to wave a wand to cast spells, transfiguration, Defense Against the Dark Arts, and even potions, but here, you don't need charms."

"As long as you understand the characteristics of a plant or fungus, it won't be in any danger. In my opinion, you are a very talented student, so you don't have to worry about squibs."

Then Professor Sprout nodded to Lu Ke: "But since you are willing to learn something outside of class time, I am very happy to help you."

Lu Ke nodded: "I will work hard."

Professor Sprout thought for a while: "In your opinion, what is herbalism?"

Lu Ke was stunned for a moment.

There is no such sentence in the textbook.

All he saw were magical plants that he had never heard of before, with rough descriptions of their appearance, main features, and legends that were hard to distinguish between true and false.

"Know about magical plants?"

Professor Sprout nodded, then shook his head: "Correct, but too rough."

She stood up, took the teapot, opened the lid and showed it to Lu Ke: "Understand magical plants, know how to grow them, and roughly understand what magic potions they will turn into, and understand some necessary preparation techniques."

Lu Ke glanced at the teapot. Inside was the top of a branch of Sanguangcao. The ferocious mouth was open, and the terrifying fangs inside could be clearly seen.

This left him speechless for a moment.

Then Lu Ke thought for a moment: "Do you need them all?"

Professor Sprout nodded: "Because there are some special cultivation methods, which are for the final purpose of processing herbs into potion materials, such as transplanting Sanguangcao."

Lu Ke was stunned for a moment: "Transplanting is to make it easier to make potion materials?"

"The new pot I prepared for it contains special soil, which allows the roots to slowly lose water and finally dry out completely. This is the only way to dry out the rhizome of Sanguangcao."

Lu Ke didn't know this at all. He had never seen such a record in the book.

"It's... magical."

Professor Sprout smiled: "Right! Herbology is a very interesting course. You will definitely like it."

Lu Ke nodded: "Then where do we start?"

Professor Sprout looked up and thought for a moment: "I don't know... I don't want to teach you the arranged courses from the beginning. After all, time is precious, maybe I can teach you something that is not easy to find in textbooks."

Lu Ke smiled and nodded: "I can learn anything."

In any case, herbalism is more interesting than other courses, at least that's the part Lu Ke sees now.

“I’ve always wanted to build another greenhouse…”

Professor Sprout looked at Lu Ke hesitantly.

Lu Ke was stunned for a moment: "I can help, anything."

The professor looked at Lu Ke and was silent for a long time.

"You have a rare talent... Taking care of herbs requires patience, agility, strength, and most importantly, the inability to cast spells... You are like a wizard specially made for this..."

Lu Ke smiled: "Of course, I can definitely help."

Professor Sprout smiled: "But I'm wondering if it's too much to ask you to help with this matter but not see the results in the end."

Lu Ke smiled: "Then build the greenhouse before I graduate. I will work hard to do it."

The professor shook his head: "You should learn to rest and enjoy the good things in life, such as food."

Lu Ke couldn't help but smile: "I am now the executive chef of the Hogwarts kitchen. I have not been approved, but I have been recognized by the chefs."

Professor Sprout was surprised: "What?"

Then she had a look of realization on her face: "So you were the one who taught the house elves how to cook that dish?"

Lu Ke nodded.

Professor Sprout burst out laughing: "What I like most is when I bite the meat slices, I bite into the green vegetables I have never seen before. The refreshing and spicy feeling is just like the hottest time in summer. Rush into the lake!"

Lu Ke smiled.

He didn't expect that there would be a professor who liked his food. From what Professor Sprout said, she was obviously not being polite.

"You should learn to rest. Our first-year Hufflepuff wizards can't get out of bed before eight o'clock every day."

Lu Ke shook his head: "I think what every professor teaches me is very interesting."

Professor Sprout shook his head and finally made up his mind: "Let's learn something useful for building a new greenhouse."

Then she stood up.

"follow me."

Lu Ke followed, and the two walked out of the door together, and then came to the first greenhouse.

"There are currently four greenhouses in Hogwarts, which house relatively safe plants and fungi. The first and second greenhouses serve as classrooms for lower-grade students."

That's where the two of them are now.

"The third greenhouse houses more dangerous plants and fungi and serves as a classroom for senior students."

"The fourth greenhouse houses special plants and fungi, and students are strictly prohibited from entering and leaving. It requires the cooperation of several professors to take good care of the magical plants inside."

Professor Sprout sighed: "But actually I found that some plants are best not to be placed in the same greenhouse, and special plants react to the spell and are difficult to care for, so I wanted to build a fifth greenhouse. , transplant special plants that are not suitable for the current environment.”

Lu Ke nodded: "But I suggest doing a statistics first, so that we can determine which plants should be put into the new greenhouse."

Professor Sprout nodded, then turned to look at Lu Ke: "This is exactly the part you need to learn, all the magical plants and fungi in the textbook, and there are more other things besides."

Lu Ke nodded: "I will work hard."

Professor Sprout walked towards the depths of the greenhouse: "Let's start with the simplest."

She took Lu Ke to a row of short green shrubs.

"You should know what this is, right?"

Lu Ke took a closer look in the dim light, and then nodded: "Liquid grass, a relatively common magical plant, is not dangerous. You should pay attention to the moon's cycle when planting."

The reason why Lu Ke remembered it so clearly was because it was the first magical plant in the textbook.

And the above description only has a few sentences in total.

Professor Sprout nodded: "Everything is correct, you remember it very clearly."

She turned around and took out several flower pots of different sizes from the shelf on the other side, as well as a bag of soil.

"The most basic thing about growing magical plants is choosing a pot and soil. This is also the first lesson that all students must learn."

Professor Sprout placed the flower pot in front of Lu Ke: "You have seen the size of the flower pot used for sapgrass, so do you know why such a large flower pot is used?"
