Hogwarts: Harley from The Witch Way

The first day of school was Wednesday, a very bad day.

The enchanted ceiling in the auditorium was a gloomy gray color, and some over-marinated herring was added for breakfast at someone's suggestion.

Harry didn't know who prepared it, but he felt that he must have a lot in common with the group of people who like to eat canned wolf fish.

Of course, for most of the students, the worse thing is - the second year of Gryffindor class is full today.

When they got the schedule from Professor McGonagall, many little wizards couldn't help but howl.

Harry was quite happy, because the first class was herbal medicine.

After studying hard this holiday, Halle has a very deep understanding of the medicinal properties of various herbs.

What bothers her the most now is the material problem.

The materials needed to unlock the potion of the fifth seal of Sequence are easy to find, and can be purchased in most pharmacies.

But if you want to recover to a demigod or above, the material is really very difficult to find, and you can only rely on luck.

So Harley is keeping in touch with those potion masters on the one hand, so that he can buy some rare materials in the future;

On the other hand, she also put more energy into herbal medicine to prepare herself for finding materials by herself.

After breakfast, Harry and Hermione walked to the greenhouse. On the way, Hermione was still studying Professor Lockhart's Traveling with Vampires.

After all, when she and Harry enjoyed a night chat in a tent last night, Hermione also heard the evaluation of Professor Lockhart from those masters of magic——

Although that Gilderoy Lockhart has a playboy, flamboyant appearance and a book that is almost entirely fiction, the details in it are extremely real.

This caused Hermione's perception of Professor Lockhart to change slightly.

Lockhart's flamboyant performance before, as well as his flopping behavior in order to gain public attention, really made the upright Hermione feel disgusted.

More importantly, under the long-term influence of the extraordinary charm of Harley's Witch Path, Professor Lockhart's ordinary charm can't shake Hermione at all.

And the books written by Professor Lockhart, if you read them calmly and without prejudice, you will feel that you are writing novels.

So Hermione's sense of Professor Lockhart has never been very good.

But after hearing Harry's evaluation, Hermione began to read these books seriously again.

At least the details in the book are true, Professor Lockhart is somewhat level, isn't he?

The two discussed the details in the book all the way, and soon came to the greenhouse. The little Hufflepuff badgers were already waiting at the door of the greenhouse.

After all, it was their dear Headmaster's lesson, and the Hufflepuffs didn't want to be late.

It seems that Professor Sprout has not come yet, so the door of the greenhouse is still locked.

But when the two got closer, they realized that the professor had actually arrived, because the door of the greenhouse was about to be closed.

A familiar voice faintly came from inside:

...By the way, Pomona, I have also seen this magical plant in a place called 'Squatting Home' in the far east.

So you can totally treat them as I said, if they do hurt.

Believe me, I'm a top master at this...

It's...Professor Lockhart? Hermione asked uncertainly.

A little badger who was eavesdropping on the door nodded, and then continued to listen carefully to the sounds in the greenhouse.

Professor Lockhart is trying to teach Professor Sprout how to treat injuries caused by herbs? Harry stopped to listen for a while, and said with a strange expression.

Hermione nodded in agreement, That sounds like it.

But he's a Defense Against the Dark Arts professor... to teach Sprout about herbalism?

Maybe the professor just knows this kind of knowledge? After all, the professor is a genius! A little Hufflepuff witch that Harley wasn't particularly familiar with retorted.

Indeed, it's possible. The surrounding witches also agreed with this view, and even Hannah seemed to believe it.

The class bell rang, and all the students were present.

Professor Sprout came out of the first conservatory, covered in dirt and with a patched hat.

On the other hand, Professor Lockhart was spotless from head to toe, with a flowing turquoise robe and a gold-rimmed top hat on his head.

Harry heard Hermione tsk unabashedly beside her.

Oh, hello! Before Professor Sprout could speak, Professor Lockhart greeted the students first,

I just discussed herbal medicine with Professor Sprout and taught her several very practical ways to treat herbal diseases.

But I don't want you to think I'm better at herbalism than she is! After all, during that long journey, I have seen many such miraculous plants...

Before Professor Lockhart could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Professor Sprout.

Go to the third greenhouse today! Professor Sprout was obviously in a bad mood, and his voice was a little harsh.

The students quickly followed Professor Sprout to the third conservatory, but Lockhart followed.

Harry clearly felt a hint of impatience in Professor Sprout's eyes.

However, Professor Sprout is a well-known good guy at Hogwarts, so he didn't say anything about Lockhart's behavior.

When Harley and Hermione were about to enter the greenhouse at the end of the line, Lockhart stopped her suddenly.

Oh, dear Pomona, I'd like to speak to our Miss Halle. I suppose you wouldn't mind if she was two minutes late?

It seemed that Professor Sprout was very concerned, but before she could say anything, Lockhart had already closed the door of the greenhouse.

Only one sentence remained in the air: That would be great, thank you, dear Pomona.

Hermione glanced at the closed greenhouse door, but reacted very calmly. After all, when she was about to say something earlier, Harry shook his head at him.

Outside the greenhouse, Harry looked at Professor Lockhart with interest, not knowing what he wanted to do.

Okay, Harry, it's just the two of us now, I think we can talk alone. With that said, Lockhart was about to step forward, wanting to put his arm around Harry's shoulders.

However, Harry's dexterous dodge made Professor Lockhart's movements come to nothing.

With her hands behind her back, she smiled pretty and said, Dear Professor Lockhart, what can I do for you?

Seeing that his actions were unsuccessful, Lockhart didn't seem embarrassed either.

He smiled and said, Miss Halle seems a bit shy, but that's not important. Let's get down to business.

Miss Harley, you are a great figure in the wizarding world!

Well, what do you say? Harry tilted his head, blinking at Lockhart with an expectant expression on his face.

...
