Study Days at Hogwarts

  Chapter 534 Terrible Herb Expert

  The next day, Albert woke up early in the morning.

  The sky outside the window was gray, and it seemed that the weather around Hogwarts would start to get bad as September entered.

  The absence of the cute Tom beside the bed made Albert feel empty in his heart.

  The roommates in the dormitory hadn't woken up yet, and Albert didn't want to disturb them. After getting dressed quietly, he went downstairs alone. He was going to visit Professor McGonagall first and get back the Time Converter from him.

  Isobel told him last time that due to the reduction of subjects in the sixth grade improvement class, she can no longer hold the Time Converter.

   This is not good news. After losing the Time Converter, Isobel couldn't spare enough time to date himself freely.

   To make matters worse, Albert wants to acquire a time-turner, and only has the last two years left.

   Time is getting pretty tight.

  Unless, Albert is going to not give up other subjects in the sixth grade and continue to take the 12th grade improvement class, but this is undoubtedly a bad decision.

   The learning difficulty of the advanced class has indeed increased a lot, and the homework is even more heavy. Albert is already busy enough, and he doubts whether he can hold on and not collapse like Hermione.

  Part of the courses must be given up when entering the sixth grade.

   While Albert was dreaming, he had unknowingly reached the second floor of the castle and was walking towards Professor McGonagall's transformation office.

   However, while turning the corner, he bumped into someone.

   "Sorry, I didn't notice... are you okay!"

   When Albert came back to his senses, he found that the person who hit him and fell to the ground was actually his old acquaintance Katrina.

  He stretched out his hand apologetically, trying to pull him up from the ground.

"fine!"

  Katrina came back to her senses and noticed who she had bumped into. She was stunned for a moment, and instead of grabbing Albert's hand, she struggled to get up.

   It is not difficult for both parties to guess why the other party came to this place at this time.

   "Are you angry with me?" Albert asked tentatively.

   "No." Katrina said coldly.

   "That's being angry."

  Albert looked up and down the red-haired girl in front of him, sighed in his heart, and changed the subject: "You also came to ask Professor McGonagall to get the Time Converter, right?"

"Um."

   Katrina responded, and then said nothing.

  The two of them came to Professor McGonagall's office door silently, and then Albert reached out and knocked on the office door.

   About a minute later, there was a sound from inside the door, and the wooden door opened quickly, and Professor McGonagall appeared at the door.

  I was a little surprised to see the two people appearing together, but I quickly guessed their purpose of disturbing me early in the morning, so I let them enter the office.

  Professor McGonagall took out two time converters from the box, handed them to Albert and Katrina, and did not forget to tell them.

  Albert said he knew, so he stuffed the time converter into his pocket, said goodbye to Professor McGonagall, and walked out of Professor McGonagall's office with Katrina.

   "This is a rare opportunity, do you want to walk together?" Albert invited the red-haired girl beside him.

  Katrina looked at Albert, seemingly hesitating, but in the end she didn't refuse.

   The two walked together in the silent corridor.

"Are you angry because of the matter between me and Isobel?" Albert asked bluntly. Before announcing his relationship with Isobel, the relationship between the two had always been good. After Isobel's relationship, it became what it is now.

   "No." Katrina said stubbornly, she regretted why she came here, is she not making fun of herself?

   "Isobel once concealed the matter between me and her, but she gave up later." Albert stopped, looked at Katrina who was about to leave, and said, "She cares about your affairs very much, and doesn't want you to be hurt."

   "I suggest you have a good chat with her, and, are we still friends?" Albert asked looking at Katrina's back.

  The other party didn't answer, but walked away quickly.

   "Ah! Woman, what a troublesome creature." Albert muttered softly. The mature Isobel is reassuring. Both parties know what they need and want, and work hard to maintain the relationship between the two, and they will not lose their temper at every turn.

  Perhaps, both parties are masters of memory, so it is easy to figure out why the other party thinks!

  However, from Katrina, Albert has seen one of the reasons why Hogwarts lovers can't last long.

  After Katrina left, Albert took out his pocket watch from his pocket and glanced at the time, preparing to take this rare opportunity to walk around.

  Anyway, after getting back the Time Converter, I don't have to worry about running out of time at all.

  When I first walked out of the castle, I met Professor Sprout, who was holding a lot of bandages in his hand, and seemed to be going to bandage the Whomping Willow.

   "Good morning, Professor Sprout, are you going to the Whomping Willow for treatment?" Albert walked over quickly to greet him.

"Good morning, Mr. Anderson." Professor Sprout looked at Albert who suddenly appeared, and said as he walked, "At the banquet yesterday, Severus told me that Mr. Potter hit the Whooping Willow with his car. A Whomping Willow caused serious injuries."

   "As far as I know, the Whomping Willow is very irritable. How are you going to subdue it and treat it?" Albert asked his own doubts, which is why he came to greet Professor Sprout.

"The Whomping Willow is indeed more dangerous, especially if you encounter it in the wild. However, under normal circumstances, as long as you don't touch its branches, the Whomping Willow will not attack rashly." Professor Sprout explained casually : "Of course, if it is planted by a wizard, it will usually leave an obvious scar, so that it can be subdued through the scar."

  Professor Sprout picked up a broken branch and poked the knot in the trunk of the Whomping Willow, which instantly quieted the Whomping Willow.

   "Can it be subdued by magic?" Albert raised his own doubts, "Use a freezing spell, or some other spell."

"Well, it's best not to do that, Whomping Willow is a very precious magical plant with great medicinal value." Professor Sprout thought for a while and replied, "It's hard to see in ordinary places. When it comes to it, the wizard who planted the Whomping Willow will leave scars like that to subdue the Whomping Willow."

"Okay, Mr. Anderson, please help me hold down the scar, and these bandages. This bucket is also troublesome for you. We need to hurry up." Professor Sprout drew out his wand and began to help trim the branches. And collect the shoots and branches of the Whomping Willow, and don't forget to introduce the medicinal effects of these things to Albert, which is an additional lecture.

   Albert simply summed up and came up with an answer: The Whomping Willow is full of treasures.
