Chapter 47 The physical and mental health problems of young wizards (please collect and recommend)
What happened in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class spread like wildfire, but no one was that interested in it.
The incident of a freshman accidentally injuring a professor might cause quite a stir in other classes.
For example, the Charms class on the first day of school is still talked about by people to this day.
But if it's Defense Against the Dark Arts... it's almost meaningless.
Let's put it this way, their previous professor was a dark wizard who was hiding deeply. He was later discovered by someone who didn't know who, and was taken away by an Auror during class.
The former professor was a potion enthusiast and liked to study some strange potion formulas. One day in class, he showed his latest achievement to the students, the Omniscient Potion. Solve all your worries.
Then...there is no more.
In order to prove the effect of the potion, he took a sip on the spot and was still lying in St. Mungo's.
In comparison, Professor Oren’s matter is hardly even worth talking about.
Just like that, the first weekend at Hogwarts came quietly.
Kyle slept until almost nine o'clock, and finally Cedric woke him up when he came and knocked on the door.
“Why are you calling me so early?”
After washing up, Kyle threw himself on the sofa in the common room and stretched out comfortably.
“It’s still early? We’ll have lunch soon, okay!” Cedric glanced at Kyle speechlessly and handed him a pie he had just brought from the kitchen.
It is stuffed with potatoes and beef, and also has onions. It tastes quite good.
While Kyle was eating pie, Cedric continued: "The Quidditch selection starts today. I'm going to try it out soon. How about you, do you want to join us? Together, we can definitely win this year." Quidditch Cup."
"I'll forget it." Kyle shook his head and said, "First-year wizards are not allowed to join the school team. This is a rule."
Ever since the flying lesson ended yesterday, Kyle has given up on the idea of joining the Quidditch team.
Because Diana strictly prohibited him from buying a broom in the first grade, if he joins the team now, he can only use the...old antiques provided by the school, which Kyle can't accept.
Those brooms are really old and don’t even have many necessary functions. For example, the most important thing is the lifting spell engraved on the broom handle.
This feature was available after 1930, because the Quidditch World Cup finals that year lasted for seven days. After that, the two teams participating in the final added up to a total of eleven players who retired for the same reason.
So since then, the lifting spell has become an essential function of the broom.
The brooms in the school obviously existed before 1930.
That kind of old antique ride is fine for occasional fun, but if it goes on for a long time, it may have an impact on the physical and mental health of young wizards.
Kyle can’t accept it anyway, as for Cedric…
Kyle patted him on the shoulder and said seriously: "If you are selected, I suggest you save money to buy a new broom."
Cedric nodded and said: "It is true that the school's broomstick is too slow, but if I am really selected, my father will give me a Sweeping Seven Stars."
“That’s no problem.” Kyle nodded.
Although the Sweep Seven Star is a model from ten years ago, it has a lot of configurations, and it is enough for the school team.
"Oh, one more thing." Cedric took out two maps and said: "I have already prepared the Gryffindor and Slytherin maps. What should we do next? Should we promote it ourselves? Or should we continue to look for them? People cooperate.”
"Let's find someone to cooperate." Kyle thought for a moment and said, "It would be a waste of time if we promote it ourselves, and it would be inefficient and inappropriate."
"Well, that's what I think too." Cedric nodded and said: "In Gryffindor, we can ask the Weasley brothers. They should agree to help. But what about Slytherin? Do you know anyone? ?"
Kyle shook his head. Coincidentally, of the four houses at Hogwarts, the one he was least familiar with was Slytherin, mainly because they really didn’t have much in common with each other.
“That’s troublesome.” Cedric sighed and said, “I don’t know him either.”
After making the first pot of gold in his life, Cedric was at his most enthusiastic at this time and obviously did not want to give up Slytherin, the biggest market.
For this reason, he also deliberately changed the map of Slytherin slightly. Not only did he use the best parchment, he also specially added a gold edge.
The shape is completely in line with their taste.
Of course, the price will definitely be slightly higher. You get what you pay for, that's normal.
The only problem now is how to sell these maps. Just relying on the words of the two Hufflepuffs, it is estimated that few people in Slytherin will buy it.
And once Snape finds out about this, it will be a problem. With his character, there is a high probability that he will confiscate the map directly and then deduct 20 points from Hufflepuff.
After much deliberation, I still have to find a middle man.
The two discussed for a while, but still had no good solution.
Cedric wanted to ask the Weasley brothers if they knew anyone from Slytherin.
Although Kyle thinks this possibility is not very high, there is no better way now, so he can only give it a try first.
When it was almost ten o'clock, the two left the Hufflepuff common room together.
Cedric is going to the Quidditch pitch to try out for the school team, while Kyle is going to the library to return books.
He finished reading "The Bard in the Wind" last night, and he was going to borrow another one.
Because of some trouble, the two separated near the auditorium.
Kyle said with a smile: "I wish you success in being selected for the Quidditch school team."
“Don’t worry!” Cedric raised a thumb confidently: “It’ll be fine.”
After that, the two of them separated.
…
In the library, Mrs. Pince took the book from Kyle, checked it, and then handed him another book that Kyle wanted to borrow after checking that it was OK:
“You know the old rules.”
“Of course, damaging books is not allowed.” Kyle smiled and said, “I know.”
"That's good."
After getting the book he wanted, Kyle did not go back to the dormitory directly, but directly found a place in the library to read.
"Detailed Explanation of Asian Magical Plants"
This is a book about herbal medicine. Kyle flipped through the pages page by page and quickly found what he really needed.
“ZG biting cabbage, an extremely dangerous and aggressive plant, was first discovered in…”
Kyle took out the parchment he had prepared in advance, used the copying spell to copy all the contents, and then left the library.
However, he did not return the book directly, but planned to take it back and read it before talking about it. Maybe Professor Sprout would introduce some new varieties next time.
It will be so troublesome to borrow it again.
