Learn Magic at Hogwarts

Chapter 54 Herbal Medicine

When Eve and the others arrived, the team members were already warming up.

There were only a few people in the audience.

The two found a seat near the front and sat down, and Eve began to watch the warm-up of the players below with great interest.

During the warm-up phase, the players will not be in a hurry to go to the sky, they are basically moving their hands and feet, because they are not uniform, so everyone does their own thing, which seems a bit funny.

Except for those who wore regular Quidditch clothes, there were quite a few who wore school robes, and they should all be new students participating in the selection.

A total of eight, which happened to be the total number of Hufflepuffs and Ravenclaws yesterday.

I think there will only be more in Gryffindor...

Noah might not have felt it before, but after seeing the number of Ravenclaws and Hufflepuffs yesterday, he finally realized that the "many" that Mrs. Hooch said earlier was so many. ?

This has been screened for a day, and there are still eight people...

In this case, either the screening here is slow, or there are really many students from Slytherin.

Glancing at the excited Eve beside him, Noah pondered for a moment, and decisively sank half of his consciousness into the sea of ​​consciousness.

Learning makes people happy, and watching three or five makes people feel happy.

……

Herbalism lesson with Hufflepuff in the afternoon.

The professor of herbal medicine is Pomona Sprout, a short witch with flowing gray hair and a thick hat full of patches. She is also the head of Hufflepuff.

Herbal medicine class, as the name suggests, is a subject that studies magic and common plants and mushrooms, which is equivalent to botany in the Muggle world.

In this class, little wizards will learn how to care for and use different kinds of plants, and learn about their magical properties and applications.

This class may complement the Potions class, because many plants learned in this class can be used as ingredients in potions and medicines. Of course, some plants can have special magical effects even if they cannot be used as medicine.

Because of this, some plants are more dangerous and complicated, but these are obviously not within the reach of first-year wizards.

The location of their class is located in the greenhouse behind the college castle. There are seven greenhouses in total. Because they are enchanted, it is impossible to see what plants are inside from the outside of the greenhouse.

But the little wizards of the first grade are taught in the first greenhouse.

Because it is for first-year little wizards, the first greenhouse is the safest and most harmless.

The plants here are neither aggressive nor dangerous, and can be easily cared for if done correctly.

The greenhouse is divided into multiple areas, and many areas are divided according to humidity, temperature and specific weather conditions.

Most of the plants are placed in pots, only a small part are planted in the ground.

There is a long table in the center of the greenhouse, and a total of thirteen flower pots are placed on both sides of the long table, with some green plants planted inside.

"Okay, first-year little wizards, everyone pick a flowerpot and stand in front of it."

Noah glanced at the flower pots. Although he didn't know much about plants, he could tell that the plants were well maintained.

So he picked the first pot at random.

Eve chose the other one he had on hand.

The rest of the Slytherins lined up spontaneously, much faster than the opposite Hufflepuffs.

However, compared to the "leaders" of the Slytherins who choose first and other people choose according to the situation, the Hufflepuffs are obviously choosing carefully. They will look at each pot and then choose the one they like, although it is a bit slow. , but subtly will not dispute.

Professor Sprout didn't urge them either, and gave them enough time to choose.

After all the little wizards were selected, Noah found that he was facing Cedric.

Cedric smiled at him, and Noah nodded back as a greeting.

The professor clapped his hands: "Now, let me introduce you to the plants we will take care of in this class."

She picked up the flower pot in her hand, pointed to the flower stem inside and said, "This is the fragrant mallow. Actually, it doesn't have strong magical power, but it is a kind of vanilla that can bloom beautiful flowers. It is usually used Materials for prediction and divination."

"The fragrant mallows in front of you are more than a year old, and they will bloom in three months. So your task in this class is to fertilize, water and trim them."

"Once the fragrant mallow blooms, the flowering period will be very long and the number of blooms will be many, so the fertilizer must be sufficient before flowering, and the water needs to be watered less..."

She spoke seriously, and at the same time used the pot in her hand as a demonstration.

The Hufflepuffs listened very carefully. Although they were a little disappointed that this plant had no special magic power, they still listened very seriously.

On the other hand, Slytherin seemed a bit indifferent. Most of the little snakes were not very curious about this kind of useless plant. Although no one spoke, their expressions were perfunctory.

Professor Sprout didn't pay much attention to it, and let the little wizards start to try after she told them.

The first is fertilization.

The Hufflepuffs carefully poked the soil out of the flower pots with small shovels, for fear of hurting the roots of the plants.

"Don't be so careful." Professor Sprout was very satisfied with their attitude, but still reminded them.

On the other hand, Slytherin was more casual. Even Eve was not interested in serving plants. She directly inserted a shovel into the soil, intending to remove a large area of ​​soil directly.

Noah, who was looking at the plants in his flower pot, jumped out of the corner of his eyes, and pressed his hand on her small shovel: "You will cut off the roots."

Eve: "...Oh."

She pulled out the shovel, reduced the force and inserted it again.

Noah: "..."

Forget it, just be happy.

Noah pawed the soil with a shovel and fertilized it as the professor had just said.

But Noah finally remembered why he felt the plant in front of him was familiar. It was very similar to a plant called "Mallow" in the Muggle world, but it was a little shorter, and he didn't know what the flowers would be. what it looks like.

In his previous life, he had grown mallow at home, and the planting method he just heard from the professor is similar, so he is familiar with it.

Soon he finished fertilizing, although not the fastest, but the speed is not slow.

He looked around at the soil in the flowerpot, and slightly flattened the raised part with a shovel, intending to make the potted plant more beautiful.

At this moment, out of the corner of his eye, he seemed to catch a glimpse of a black shadow flashing past.

Noah subconsciously turned his head to look, but found nothing.

There were only some flower pots and unknown plants, at most two pod-like plants shaking their branches and leaves slightly.

That black shadow seemed to flash away above the flower pot just now?

Noah thought with some uncertainty.
