Hogwarts card wizard

As a second-year student, Kevin's compulsory courses are a little longer than those in the first grade, and among them is herbal medicine, which Kevin is very interested in.

A major part of herbalism is learning about magical plants and learning how to care for and use them.Of course, it is well known that some plants in the wizarding world are not friendly to wizards, such as the Whomping Willow that Harry Ron and the others encountered, so the study of herbalism also includes how to prevent being hurt by them.

Kevin is very interested in herbalism, because it is one of the prerequisites to know all kinds of magical herbs if you want to make potions. After all, the ingredients of potions are not only those strange animals, but also various herbs.

The Professor of Herbalism is Professor Pomona Sprout, who is also Head of Hufflepuff.Compared with other professors, Mrs. Sprout's dress is the closest to her own job, a brown robe is often covered with mud, like a hardworking gardener.

The herbal class is taught in an outdoor greenhouse, where the plants are planted by Professor Sprout himself.

Ever since he entered this greenhouse, Kevin has been looking at the plants inside. Although many experiments in the first grade made him know some magical plants, those are all finished products or certain parts. Now he looks at the pots and pots The plants Kevin doesn't even recognize.To use his teasing words for Hermione: I almost didn't recognize the clothes on.

Just when Hermione was about to talk to Kevin about the meaning of this sentence, Professor Sprout walked in with a smile.

"Good morning, boys!"

"Good morning, Professor Sprout!"

Professor Sprout pointed to the long table full of plants in front of him with a smile, and said, "Welcome all second-year students to the third greenhouse. Come, everyone, approach this table."

Professor Sprout is a gentle and simple little lady, just like Hufflepuff, the college she is in charge of, she and her Hufflepuff students are notoriously good-natured, even Slytherin students It is also rare to have conflicts and disputes with them.

Professor Sprout picked up a pot of green plants and said: "Today we are going to learn how to repot the Mandrake. Before we start, can anyone tell me the characteristics of the Mandrake root.

In fact, whenever there is a Gryffindor class, unless it is named by name, generally everyone knows who will answer.

Hermione immediately raised her arm, Professor Sprout nodded, and Hermione immediately said: "Mandrake, also called Mandrake, can be used to treat people who have been cursed with petrification. And Mandrake It is also a dangerous species, and the mandrake's cry is so serious that it can even kill people."

"Clap!"

Kevin on the side applauded Hermione involuntarily. Her answer was so wonderful that Kevin even felt that Hermione's tone in class was almost like that of a professor.

Mrs. Sprouton was also very happy. She did not expect that someone could answer in such detail in the first class of the second grade, even far exceeding her expectations.

"Very good, Miss Granger. Ten points for Gryffindor!"

"Nice job, Hermione!" Harry said appreciatively.

Ron also nodded in a demonstrative manner, and the object of the nod was naturally Malfoy, who was on the other side with a displeased face.

Kevin raised his hand and asked, "Professor, just now Hermione said that the cry of the mandrake is fatal, so now..."

As soon as the words came out, the talents of the two colleges realized that it was true!There is no need to work hard just to attend class!

Mrs. Sprout smiled and said: "Mr. Allie, don't worry, and you don't need to worry, the mandrakes here are just seedlings, and the crying is not fatal, but it can make people faint. There's nothing wrong with doing it the way I tell you. I think you should all get the earmuffs I sent you."

Kevin looked at the earmuffs in his hand and suddenly realized. Before that, he was still guessing why such a thing was distributed in the herbal medicine class, thinking that the temperature was too low to protect the ears.

Mrs. Sprout picked up the earmuffs and put them on her ears, and said: "You may not be able to hear me clearly after wearing the earmuffs, so before you put them on, I would like to remind everyone to watch my movements clearly and understand ?"

"Yes, Professor!"

"Very well, now put on the earmuffs!" said Mrs. Sprout.

Everyone put on earmuffs immediately. Although Mrs. Sprout said that there would be no danger to her life, no one wanted to faint in class.

I saw Mrs. Sprout grab the stalk of the mandrake and pluck it up...

A piercing scream instantly swept through every cell in the brain, and even wearing earmuffs felt uncomfortable and nauseating.The source of the nausea was not the harsh sound, but the writhing "little person" in Mrs. Sproutton's hand.To use the words of Kevin afterwards: put a fat ginseng in any kind of disgusting liquid you can think of to soak the swelling, and then carve a distorted face on it, which is almost like Mandela A tenth of the grass is ugly.

The cacophony died away as Mrs. Sprout put the mandrakes in new pots and filled them with fresh soil, and she motioned for everyone to remove the earmuffs.

"Everyone should pay attention to bury them with new soil as soon as possible to prevent them from catching cold, otherwise the efficacy of the medicine will be greatly reduced. Of course, the most important point is to wear earmuffs, then grasp it firmly, pull it out, put it in the basin, and finally put it in the pot. Buried in the soil. Do you all understand?"

"understand!"

Mrs. Sprout said: "Very well, now put the earmuffs on and do as I tell you."

Everyone put on earmuffs and started their respective "work". As mandrakes were pulled out one after another, ear-piercing cries came and went.

When Kevin looked at the Mandrake at close range, he felt a tumbling in his stomach and almost couldn't hold back his vomiting, so he hurriedly put it in a pot and buried it with soil.The others and Kevin reacted with almost one glance, with an expression of wanting to vomit, and then quickly re-buried the Mandrake.

There was one exception though, poor Neville.He passed out directly, but fortunately, Simon beside him quickly grabbed the mandrake and put it in the basin.

After everything was settled, Mrs. Sprout said helplessly: "It seems that Mr. Longbottom didn't wear the earmuffs properly."

Kevin lifted Neville who fell to the ground, and said with a smile, "No, Professor, I think he fainted from fright."

Mrs. Sprout said: "Well, poor boy, put him aside and let him rest a while, and we go on."

……

The first week of the second grade is coming to an end, and this period is extremely tormenting for Ron. First of all, after writing (copying) homework with difficulty every day, he has to drag his exhausted body to clean the trophy display room, so as to As for falling asleep while polishing those trophies.Secondly, Ron's second-hand wand broke when he encountered Whomping Willow, and Ron, who had no money to buy a new wand, had to temporarily tape the break.

Ron's wand is really amazing now. Not only can it be used, but also a spell will burst out from the "tail" of the wand from time to time. In the class, there was no one around Ron, because staying with a wand that didn't know whether the spell came from the tip or the tail of the wand, it was difficult to guarantee personal safety.

But these are still tolerable for Ron. What really makes him suffer is that the "death letter" at home has not yet arrived. Ron even asked Professor McGonagall at the risk of being scolded, and the answer he got was that he had already given His parents wrote letters.

But Ron's ordeal was over soon, and on the last day of the first week of the new term, the letter arrived.
