Chapter 114 Filch: I Will Definitely Take Good Care Of You, Jie Jie Jie!
Watching Mr. Fei'erqi happily embrace Mrs. Lulisi and leave.
Blake's lips curled slightly.
He had just told a lie.
In fact, Mrs. Lulisi did not have a life-threatening illness.
An aging cat.
Naturally, it often feels lethargic and has a poor appetite.
Not to mention shedding...
Even healthy cats shed regularly, let alone an old cat.
Mrs. Loris is said to have a serious illness, even life-threatening...
It's just that Blake noticed that Fergus had an unusual affection for this cat.
And the lie he came up with was just temporary.
As for the potion he gave Mrs. Loris to drink.
It was a pet nutrition potion he developed using his own druid abilities.
Originally, it was intended to be used to replenish the body of a bear that had lost its potential.
But later, with the advent of the Poké Ball, research on this stuff was temporarily put on hold.
Naturally, its effects are much better than those garbage nutrition potions that the pet hospital gives to Fergus.
Although it is only a semi-finished product, it doesn't have much effect on the magically evolved creatures like Xiongda.
But for an ordinary old cat, even as a semi-finished product, the effect is extremely obvious.
Just a small bottle is enough to rejuvenate the aging body of Mrs. Loli.
Blake's purpose in doing this is very simple.
He "extends a helping hand in times of need" and saves Mrs. Loli.
The cost is just a trivial bottle of semi-finished potion.
In return, he receives Ferchi's gratitude.
This is a mutually beneficial deal with no harm.
Afterwards, it will be much more convenient for him to work in the castle.
However...
This is a good thing for Blake.
But it's not a good thing for the poor Weasley twins.
Originally, Ferchi had a grudge against them.
And now...
Blake says he will "take care" of them.
This is what Blake instructed!
Regarding the matter Blake entrusted to save his beloved cat.
Of course, Ferch will do his best!
Ferch speculates that Blake has a grudge against those two bastards.
But.... considering the despicable nature of those two bastards.
It's not surprising to offend anyone.
Therefore, he didn't inquire further.
Ferch hurried back to the office and soon took out a plan.
A plan for revenge... a plan to put the two brothers in confinement!
He has been waiting for this day for a long time!
The auditorium.
The Weasley twins are crying tears of joy.
But their appearance at this moment dumbfounded their younger brother.
Ronald turned to Harry and said, "I've never seen them like this before. I think they might have finally gone crazy."
Indeed, Ronald grew up in the shadow of these two brothers... the shadow of 330, not because his brothers were too good for him to surpass.
But because these two guys, when they were at home.
Ronald was their main target for pranks.
The reason Ronald is so afraid of spiders.
There is also a large part of it that is due to the unreliable actions of these two brothers.
But now, these two childhood shadows, are there crying and laughing?
Harry also felt puzzled, "I heard they were caught in the Forbidden Forest last night, deducted a hundred points, and will be in confinement for a month..."
"But why do they look so happy?"
"If I were deducted a hundred points..."
Harry thought for a moment, and images of Professor McGonagall's face and Hermione's incessant lecturing flashed through his mind...
And then he agreed with Ronald's point of view.
Fred and George might really be crazy.
Who would be happy after being deducted points and put in confinement?
At this moment, Fred and George were celebrating as if no one else was around.
They were speculating where they would be confined to.
"Maybe we'll go to the Forbidden Forest too?"
"I think it's unlikely, Professor McGonagall knows our personalities...
So she wouldn't easily send us into the Forbidden Forest."
"B..."
"Forget it, I don't want to think about it. As long as we don't go to Snape's."
"We can go anywhere!"
"Long live Blake!"
Suddenly, a familiar and sarcastic voice sounded behind them.
"Oh? Anywhere is really okay?"
Fred and George felt an extremely ominous premonition.
"No..."
"Blake wouldn't do this to us!"
When they turned their heads, they saw a smirking Fleur.
He was holding Mrs. Norris and had a piece of parchment in his right hand.
Fred and George saw that piece of parchment.
Their sense of unease intensified.
Could it be...
Is it the one Blake took from Professor McGonagall earlier?
Fleur seemed to see through their thoughts.
Then he handed over the parchment.
When Fred and George received the detention slip, they were struck dumb.
"It's impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
"My big brother Blake is the most loyal!"
"He wouldn't betray us!"
Fleur waited for them to quiet down with a smug smile.
Then he added insult to injury, "Since you don't want to be confined by Professor Snape, Professor McGonagall assigned you to me..."
"I feel honored, so... I will 'take care' of you."
"Although we have a lot of things to do (bbda)..."
Fleur took out a thick plan.
"But don't worry, we still have plenty of time, a whole month, we can definitely finish it."
Fleur smirked as he flipped through the plan in his hand...
"No!"
"Don't!"
Ronald and Harry watched in astonishment as the Weasley twins pounded their heads and stomped their feet.
"Why do I feel like they've gone even crazier now...
With the matter settled, Blake, who had hidden his achievements and fame, was about to crawl into his suitcase to feed his Bowtruckle.
Suddenly, he received a system prompt.
Due to the extreme sadness and anger from two sources, he received two golden treasure chests.
He immediately knew that those two unlucky guys had received detention slips.
...
He didn't feel any guilt at all.
Because they said it themselves, as long as they don't go to Snape's, they can go anywhere.
Didn't he fulfill their wish?
"Oh, I feel like my red scarf is even brighter now..."
"Do you want to find a place to grow something?"
Dumbledore looked at Blake in suspicion.
"What do you want to grow? Many dangerous magical plants, you can't grow them now..."
"It will be very dangerous..."
Blake blinked innocently with his blue eyes, "I just want to grow some vegetables and fruits."
"Like potatoes, peas, strawberries, watermelons..." Blake counted on his fingers.
"I used to grow these things often when I was in the orphanage."
Dumbledore felt a wave of shame.
So this child just wanted to grow some ordinary crops.
Why did he suspect that he wanted to grow those dangerous magical plants...
Ah... I'm still too suspicious.
"If you want to eat these things, you can ask the house-elves. You should know where the kitchen is, right?"
"I heard that every Hufflepuff knows..."
Blake spread his hands, "I don't want to eat... I just like growing things."
Dumbledore pondered for a moment.
Growing some vegetables and fruits indeed had no danger.
But... it was still a bit strange to grow them in school.
If it were an ordinary student, he would refuse.
After all, Hogwarts is a school, not a place for farming.
But Blake is not an ordinary student.
In Dumbledore's eyes.
If Blake could spend more time and energy on gardening and growing fruits and vegetables.
Or if he didn't have extra energy to think about other things.
Maybe it would be beneficial for him to stay on the right path in the future?
Dumbledore thought for a while, since the child liked it....
He decided to give his own child a backdoor....
"Ahem... Actually, it would be meaningful for the students to get their hands dirty and grow some fruits and vegetables...."
"Then go talk to Professor Sprout about it. Find a place...."
Blake excitedly said, "Professor Sprout has already found a place for me, we just need your approval."
"Now that you've agreed, we can start now!"
After saying that, he quickly left the headmaster's office.
Dumbledore looked at the closed door in astonishment.
Although he always felt that things weren't that simple.
182.....
"Growing fruits and vegetables shouldn't be dangerous...."
After obtaining the book "Cultivation Manual for Mutant Magical Plants," Blake wanted to start experimenting immediately.
But after considering it for a while, he decided not to experiment in the Room of Requirement.
First, growing vegetables and fruits was not against the rules, so there was no need to do it in the Room of Requirement.
Second, if he experimented in the Room of Requirement, even if he succeeded, only he would know.
But if it was done outside....
That would be different!
"First cultivate a pea shooter, then write a paper without revealing the core techniques...."
Tangible products, plus a paper....
Blake could already imagine a flood of treasure chests coming!
Blake didn't hesitate and went straight to the second greenhouse.
At this time, Professor Sprout had just finished class.
"...You're here!" Professor Sprout put down a pot of Mandrake.
"Judging by your happy expression, I guess Professor Dumbledore agreed, right?"
"Yes, Professor Sprout!" Blake said happily.
Thinking about the wave of treasure chests that would come later.
Therefore, his mood was indeed very good.
Professor Sprout affectionately patted Blake's head.
Then said, "Follow me, there's a suitable place."
Professor Sprout led Blake to an empty greenhouse.
"This is an empty greenhouse, I originally planned to have some tentacles and such."
"But since you want to grow crops, I'll lend it to you."
Blake looked at this spacious greenhouse and said in surprise, "This is too big!"
"Of course, this used to be used for teaching the junior grades."
"But... because a new greenhouse was built in recent years."
"It's temporarily vacant here."
Professor Sprout said happily.
Blake felt a little embarrassed and said, "I... I just wanted to satisfy my little interest, so I wanted to find a small piece of land to grow some vegetables and fruits. This... this is too big!"
Professor Sprout smiled, "Is it big? Not at all. If it's too small, the fruits and vegetables grown won't be enough for the Hufflepuff students to eat."
Blake knew that this was just a saying.
Just because he mentioned that he wanted to grow something.
And then Professor Sprout didn't hesitate to give him such a large greenhouse....
This trust, even Blake felt a pleasantly surprised feeling.
Professor Sprout looked at the excited Blake with a smile.
Of course, she couldn't be blamed for doting on this child too much....
After all, because of this child's appearance, Hufflepuff was once again revitalized.
Other houses no longer dared to mock the Hufflepuff badgers as being useless.
And this child's extraordinary talent was often praised by Professor McGonagall and Professor Flitwick.
What reason did she have not to favor him?
"So... this place is yours now." Professor Sprout handed a key to Blake.
If the previous feeling was pleasantly surprised, then now... Blake's mood couldn't be described with words.
What did it mean to hand him the key?
It meant that without his invitation, even Professor Sprout herself wouldn't casually enter this greenhouse!
In other words...
From now on, this greenhouse was left for him to mess around with...
Humans are not plants, how can they be without emotions?
This can almost be considered as complete and absolute trust...
It made Blake feel a warm feeling in his heart.
"Thank you, Professor Sprout."
Professor Sprout smiled and then turned and left the greenhouse.
Blake surveyed the entire greenhouse.
Because it used to be a classroom.
So there was a large table in the center of the greenhouse.
The table was filled with empty flower pots.
These flower pots used to be used to grow magical plants.
Because this greenhouse had fallen into disuse.
So there are currently no plants being grown inside.
However...
The soil in the flower pots has all been replaced.
Needless to say, Blake knew who did it.
Professor Sprout had already prepared it.
Even if Dumbledore didn't agree, she would still hand over this greenhouse to Blake.
After looking for a while, Blake took out a large bag of seeds from his pocket...
The days passed quickly.
In the blink of an eye, it was the end of October, the eve of Halloween.
When Blake woke up, he smelled a sweet and enticing smell of roasted pumpkin coming from the corridor.
This was the pumpkin he had improved for Hagrid!
Whether it smelled good or not is another matter...
But the sweetness was definitely off the charts!
Blake immediately got up.
He was looking forward to the dinner that night.
Charms class.
Professor Flitwick stood on a tall pile of books.
"After so many theory classes, I think you should be able to try the levitation charm!"
Professor Flitwick said excitedly.
"Oh... In fact, there's the Dueling Club every week."
"It has given everyone some experience in casting spells."
Although most people still haven't cast a complete disarming charm.
But that's not your fault... You're still too young...
Justin raised his hand and said, "But Professor... Blake single-handedly defeated the entire Slytherin!"
Everyone's gaze turned to Blake.
Their eyes were filled with envy.
When they actually practiced the spells used in duels themselves.
They realized how difficult the spells that Blake casually cast were.
Blake felt the intense gaze of everyone.
Especially Hermione's eyes, which were both unwilling and accepting...
He could only imitate Mr. Scamander and show a slightly shy smile.
"Ah... Sorry, I mean, except for those with exceptional talents, children..."
Professor Flitwick wasn't angry either.
"I mean, you don't need to be discouraged, everyone's talents are different."
"But if you work hard enough, you will definitely be able to make up for your shortcomings."
"I have seen too many examples of this."
"Blake, don't be too proud, just because you have talent."
"It's possible to be surpassed by hardworking classmates."
Blake could only smile shyly again.
"Alright, let me demonstrate this spell first..."
At this moment, Blake suddenly remembered something.
Something that might happen tonight!
Just don't know if this thing will no longer happen because of his presence.
Thinking of this, Blake couldn't help but turn his head to look at Hermione.
Hermione immediately noticed his intense gaze.
Her little face blushed slightly.
This guy, why is he looking at me!
Professor Flitwick hasn't even asked a question yet?
Could it be that this guy wants to answer without raising his hand again?!
