Admiral of Hogwarts

Chapter 138 Herbal Medicine

After Professor Sprout said this, everyone showed vigilant expressions and subconsciously stayed away from those plants.

When everyone reached the center of the greenhouse, Professor Sprout was already standing behind a stool in the middle of the greenhouse waiting for them. On the stool were two rows of glasses with silver-white mirror reflections.

After watching everyone sit down in their seats, Professor Sprout said: "We are going to repot the Sleeping Fern today. Now, who can tell me what characteristics the Sleeping Fern has?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Veneto was the first to raise his hand. After getting permission, she put down her arms and said to Professor Sprout, "Sleep fern, also known as dancing fern and lantern fern. It is a plant with extremely strong hypnotic ability. Their spores can be used after treatment. In the configuration of multiple potions.”

"Very good, ten points for Ravenclaw." Professor Sprout said, "Sleep fern is an important component of most potions related to sleep or tranquility. But it is also a relatively dangerous magical plant. Can anyone tell me why?"

Hermione raised her hand sharply at this time, and then after Professor Sprout nodded, she said, "Because the spores on the back of the leaves of this plant will emit light of a certain special frequency, and people who see those lights They may fall into some kind of deep slumber. If they cannot be awakened in time, they may die of dehydration or starvation."

"Absolutely correct, plus ten points." Professor Sprout said, "Of course, there are so many people here today, so there is no need to worry about not waking up. But I still hope that everyone here can do a good job Protection, after all, falling directly to the floor is not a comfortable thing."

In the following time, everyone put on goggles and began to repot the sleeping ferns. Compared with the mandrakes that the Gryffindors needed to repot in the morning, these sleepy ferns only have trembling leaves, so the work is a little easier.

But the level of ease is only a little bit, because these sleeping ferns look like cycad saplings about 1.23 meters tall, and are not light in weight. For the second-year students, even if four of them work together to move one, it is a physically demanding task.

Moreover, the leaves of this tree will keep moving when someone approaches. Although the force is not very strong, it is enough to cause various discomforts on their skin.

Especially in this case, the back of the Sleeping Fern's leaves will turn over to reveal the spores, exposing everyone present to a stupefying light.

In this case, the little wizards had to devote all their energy and effort to successfully repot these sleeping ferns. Even so, there was still an unlucky Slytherin who accidentally knocked his goggles off due to those leaves, and then unknowingly saw the flash of Sleeping Fern spores and fell to the ground.

Fortunately, Professor Sprout had been observing the situation in the greenhouse and used magic to wake him up from his coma in time.

By the end of class, almost all the little wizards were sweating profusely, their backs ached, and their bodies were covered with mud. The only exception is Hugo and his group, because for Veneto, who can smash the kneecaps of a troll with a wooden stick, it is too easy to repot these plants weighing about 30kg.

Therefore, when repotting those sleeping ferns that may require two or three people to lift, she can lift them with just a gentle grasp. Under this premise, they can naturally repot these ferns according to the most standardized procedures. .

Because of this, Professor Sprouse gave the last ten points of the class to their group.

In other words, Hugo and his team took all 30 points from Professor Sprout in this class. Because of this, although the Ravenclaw students were as tired as the Slytherin students, everyone had a rather cheerful smile on their face.

"It seems that some of the conjectures in our memory are wrong." After class, Hugo said to the ship girls through the admiral network on his way back to the dormitory after class, "For example, the mandrakes introduced this year are for the purpose of It is said that students can be easily rescued after being petrified by a basilisk."

Because he learned during lunch that in the first class of the second grade every academic year, Professor Sprout would take out some dangerous plants for everyone to get close contact with, and through this method, students could learn about some The dangers of magical plants for the next phase of teaching.

So it is not that strange that mandrake seedlings appear in the classroom. At least at noon, a sixth-grade senior told him that what he also did in the first herbal medicine class in the second grade was to give mandrake The work of repotting grass.

However, because mandrake is relatively rare, this plant does not appear in the classroom every year.

"This is normal." Firefly's voice rang in the Admiral's network, "Professor Dumbledore is a qualified magic school principal anyway, and he is also an extremely experienced old wizard. So how could he In order to train Harry, all the teachers and students in the school were plunged into a fatal crisis."

While chatting, Hugo and the others returned to the castle and prepared to go to Ravenclaw Tower. As a result, on the way, they unexpectedly discovered many Gryffindor second-year students running down the stairs in a mess, looking as if they were running for their lives.

"What happened over there?" After seeing Harry and Ron running down the stairs in a hurry, Hermione stopped them and asked in confusion.

"I remember you should be taking Defense Against the Dark Arts class now. Why do you look so embarrassed now? It's as if you've been walking around in the Forbidden Forest."

"It's actually no different from walking around in the Forbidden Forest - no, it should be said to be worse. At least we didn't get hurt when we were in the Forbidden Forest last year."

Harry cracked his mouth as he spoke, then raised his hand to cover a bruise on his face and said to Hugo and the others.

From the descriptions of Harry and Ron, Hugo learned that maybe because the first class went smoothly, Lockhart directly brought the Cornish elf to the classroom in the second class. I was going to show off, but it overturned.

Then the out-of-control Cornish elves not only chased Lockhart into the office, but also caused mischief in the classroom. Either grabbing various objects and hitting people or trying to destroy everything they can see.

"Fortunately, Professor Halsey was passing by the door of our classroom at that time, so when he heard the noise, he came in and used a magic to freeze all the troublemakers in the air, and then put them back into the cage. Otherwise, we would definitely be in big trouble today. .”

When the story came to an end, Ron's eyes showed admiration. "Compared with Lockhart, Professor Halsey can be considered a real professor."

"You are right, Lockhart is not worthy of being a professor at all." Harry and Ron's narratives immediately resonated with Hermione. "It seems to me that no one on the staff in this castle is better at Defense Against the Dark Arts than Lockhart."
