Chapter 144: Hogwarts new rap
Chapter 144 Hogwarts New Rap
Kyle and Professor Sprout walked together through the foyer, up the marble stairs, and down a corridor.
Professor Sprout's office is not big, but it is filled with the fragrance of earth. There is a warm fire in the fireplace. The walls are covered with lush vines, and various magical plants can be seen everywhere. , looks exactly like the greenhouse outside the castle.
There is a small desk placed near the window.
Professor Sprout walked to the table and pointed to a brown box placed on it.
"I received this package two days before the start of school. It was sent from the Department of Legal Enforcement of the Ministry of Magic. There was also a letter sent with it, saying that it was to compensate for the loss of the Forbidden Forest."
When speaking of this, Professor Sprout's expression suddenly became a little strange.
"But I remember that Minerva didn't seem to ask the Ministry of Magic to compensate for any losses, so these things should be for you."
“Ahem, yes, Professor.”
Kyle said with some embarrassment: "I did write a letter to the Ministry of Magic, but that was requested by the Strikers.
They seemed to know that I used some valuable magic items in the Forbidden Forest and barely survived Oren, so they generously decided to give me some compensation. "
“That’s right.” Professor Sprout said with a smile:
“But the letter also said that they will soon send someone to build a new greenhouse for Hogwarts. Is this also what you requested?”
“Um…this isn’t it.”
Kyle thought for a while and said: "I just mentioned in the letter that too much black magic has been cast in the Forbidden Forest, and many precious magical plants and trees that are hundreds of years old have been destroyed.
They probably want to compensate the school in this way. "
Professor Sprout's expression became even more strange. Her face turned a little red and she subconsciously glanced out the window.
She knows very well what plants there are in the Forbidden Forest.
Most of the rare and precious plants have been moved to the greenhouse by her long ago, and the only ones left are some common varieties such as white fresh flowers or bubble pods.
As for the so-called century-old trees... To be honest, after the attacker left, it only took her and Filius five minutes to restore the damaged Forbidden Forest to its original state.
After all, the Corrosion Curse is not a profound black magic, and it can be easily solved with the Ten Thousand Curses.
Professor Sprout cleared his throat and said righteously: "Yes, those plants are indeed a pity. It is rare that the Ministry of Magic can think of this and know how to build a new greenhouse to protect them."
She looked very happy and said in a brisk tone: "Then, just count their compensation here and see if there is anything missing.
But remember to hurry up, I think the sorting ceremony will start soon. "
After saying this, Professor Sprout left the office, closing the door behind him.
After she left, Kyle came to the table and opened the box.
There are not many things inside. Half of them are neatly arranged galleons, about fifty of them, with the word "broom" written next to it.
While in the Forbidden Forest, Kyle did throw a broom, and during the subsequent battle it was smashed in half by a falling tree and completely destroyed.
I guess people from the Ministry of Magic couldn't find such an old model, so they simply discounted it.
Kyle put the galleons aside.
The broom is the property of the school, and these Galleons naturally have nothing to do with him. The remaining things are the focus.
After removing the galleons, there were only five tightly sealed glass bottles left in the box.
It is filled with seeds
—The seeds of magical plants.
The bottles also have their names written on them.
“biting kale”
“Mandrake”
"Lovage" "Poisonous Tentacles"
“Fang Geranium”
Kyle picked up the bottles and carefully put them into his shapeshifting lizard skin bag.
He felt a little lucky.
To make things more reasonable, he reported these as "loss of plants", which is why the Ministry of Magic sends things to Hogwarts.
After all, almost all of them are plant species that are classified as "extremely dangerous", especially biting cabbage and poisonous tentacles, which are prohibited trade items. The Ministry of Magic has explicitly prohibited private cultivation and sale.
Before this, Kyle actually had no idea. To put it bluntly, he was just betting on whether the professor who received the package would open it and take a look.
If it is opened, these seeds will only appear in the newly built greenhouse.
Fortunately, Kyle is lucky.
Professor Sprout cared little for anything except the plants in his greenhouse.
After putting away the bottles, Kyle breathed a heavy sigh of relief.
He now sincerely thanked the Ministry of Magic for packing it so tightly.
It’s really exciting to think about getting these seeds from under the nose of a plant master.
After leaving Professor Sprout's office, Kyle came down the stairs and returned to the auditorium.
The new students have arrived. At this time, the auditorium has turned into a sea of pointed black hats, and every long college table is full of students.
The old and worn Sorting Hat was placed in front of the guest of honor. Compared with last year, there were some other things on this hat.
There is a red and blue piece wrapped around the tip of the hat. I don’t know if it is a tea towel or a headscarf. In addition, there is a pair of small sunglasses on the brim of the hat.
When Kyle arrived at the auditorium, he happened to catch it singing.
The Sorting Hat looked very excited, twisting around on the triangular stool, and the tone it used was completely different from the traditional music in the wizarding world.
…
Hogwarts is really a school, and the magic taught here is all wonderful.
Gryffindor has courage in his heart, has courage and courage, and is not afraid of difficulties and dangers.
Hufflepuff is an upright person, not afraid of hard work, and his students are tough and honest.
Ravenclaws are smart and clever people. They search for secrets in books and explore the meaning of magic.
Maybe you will join Slytherin. They are calm and careful, and will not be polite to anyone in order to achieve their goal of glory.
Come, take me with you, don't be afraid.
Finally, my name is the Sorting Hat.
Wherever it goes...don't make a fuss. "
After the Sorting Hat finished singing, the whole auditorium immediately boiled, and the little wizards burst into applause, as if they were about to lift the ceiling.
Kyle turned to the other side and walked towards the Hufflepuff table.
Cedric left a seat for him, right between him and Mikel.
"Kyle, I wish you had come earlier." Cedric said with some regret, "The songs the Sorting Hat composed are completely different from those in previous years."
“Well, I just heard that.” Kyle said with a smile.
It seems that the Sorting Hat must have received the Christmas gift he gave last year.
It’s just that he didn’t expect Hogwarts to be able to play those tapes.
