Chapter 375: Long lost visit day
Chapter 375 The long-lost visit day
By the time we had lunch, a new batsman had been selected, and it was Mikel.
His previous Quidditch books were not in vain. He had basically mastered the rules and so on. In addition, he was also a good flyer, which allowed him to make it all the way to the end of the selection process.
Cedric immediately decided that he would take over Wright's position and become Hufflepuff's new batter.
After learning the news, Ryan's eyes turned red with envy.
He previously competed for goalkeeper, but ultimately lost to a fifth-grader in terms of reaction speed.
Mikel was very happy and waved his hand to express that he would treat everyone to lunch in the auditorium.
After the first team training session, Kyle quickly returned to the Hufflepuff common room and found an armchair near the fireplace to sit down.
It started to rain after noon.
It rains in October. Even if you wear a warm-up badge, you still feel cold. It is more comfortable to be near a warm fireplace.
There were many people in the common room, and the chatter was very lively.
“What happened?” he asked Conna, who was sitting in an armchair nearby and completing two star charts for her astronomy class.
“It’s my first time to spend the weekend in Hogsmeade.” Connor pointed to a notice on the bulletin board, “At the end of October, before Halloween.”
"That's great." Cedric squeezed in from behind and said, "I'm going to go to Devis-Bance's and buy a set of tools for pruning broom branches. I feel that its steering is not as flexible as before. ."
Kyle was also very happy. Going shopping in Hogsmeade was one of the few pastimes for students.
Although he knew the secret passage leading to Hogsmeade and had been there many times before, since last time, he and Fred George were caught red-handed by Professor McGonagall on the Three Broomsticks. He restrained himself a lot and stopped sneaking over there.
And there are still dementors around this year, so we can’t go.
Because of Dumbledore's presence, the dementors were quite polite when they were in school and just guarded the entrance, but it was different when they were in Hogsmeade.
Especially after someone found traces of Sirius Black nearby...
Those shopkeepers have complained in the Daily Prophet more than once, calling on the Ministry of Magic to strengthen the management of dementors, at least not to let them break into the shops casually.
However, the results were minimal.
The people at the Ministry of Magic don't care, and the Dementors... they don't read newspapers.
If you happen to encounter a dementor while sneaking to Hogsmeade, it will be much more troublesome than meeting the professor.
The next day, everyone seemed very excited because of the news about the Hogsmeade visit day. In the Herbology class, many people were discussing where to go to play on that day.
Professor Sprout had to deduct points from two people before they stopped their enthusiasm.
“I know you’re looking forward to going to Honeydukes, but the content of our lesson is equally important.”
Professor Sprout said loudly: "I must remind you that the belladonna flower is a poisonous and dangerous plant, and you must concentrate on collecting pollen...unless you want to spend Halloween in the school hospital."
“Now, all wear protective gloves…”
Professor Sprout’s words were still very useful. As soon as they heard that they were poisonous, everyone immediately became very nervous and scrambled to pick up the gloves that had been placed on the table in advance.
After seeing everyone tense up, Professor Sprout nodded with satisfaction.
She didn't say the last part of the sentence.
As long as the plants the students come into contact with in the greenhouse, there is no great danger.
Just like the mandrakes last year, they are all in their infancy, and when their cries are lethal enough, they will be moved to another greenhouse by Professor Sprout.
It is not open to students.
The same goes for the belladonna flower this time. Their flowers are still yellow. Even if they accidentally get pollen on them, they will only sting for a few days at most, and there is no need to go to the campus hospital at all.
The real danger is waiting until they turn purple. If they get pollen by then, it won't be a problem of spending Halloween in the school hospital... I'll be lucky to be discharged from the hospital on Christmas.
However, this part of the content is not needed for the time being. It will not be too late to teach them after they return from Hogsmeade.
After the herbal medicine class, there will be no classes in the morning.
Kyle returned to the castle and met a frustrated Harry near the entrance hall. He walked forward silently with his head lowered and almost knocked over a pair of armor in the corridor.
“Hey, kid, watch out when you walk!”
One of the portraits above shouted: "This is my favorite armor!"
Harry said nothing, turned around and continued walking to the auditorium.
“What’s wrong with him?” Kyle asked.
“No one signed his application form.”
Hermione, who came with him, explained: "Professor McGonagall doesn't agree with him going to Hogsmeade?"
"That's because she's too disciplined!" Ron couldn't help but said: "Professor McGonagall knows clearly that Harry's aunt and uncle are Muggles, and they hate everything related to magic. There is no way they can give Harry anything." Sign the application form.
But as long as she says a word, this matter will be solved..."
"Professor McGonagall is right!" Hermione was a little annoyed, "Don't forget Black, someone has already seen him around once."
"Black is not a fool. He cannot run to Hogsmeade and act rashly." Ron said.
"Only you would think that!" Hermione said angrily: If you don't believe me, ask Kyle and see what he says.
The two people looked over at the same time... No, it should be three people, and Harry, who also raised his head and looked at Kyle.
Um... aren't you talking about Harry? Why did the topic suddenly turn to him?
Kyle thought for a moment and said, "I think what Hermione said makes sense. On the day of the visit, all the dementors in Hogsmeade will be transferred. If Black wants to do something, that is the best opportunity. "
“Look.” Hermione raised her head and said.
Ron muttered something, but still felt that the two of them were making a fuss out of a molehill.
Harry's expression didn't change much.
After all, Professor McGonagall has clearly rejected his request. Unless Uncle Vernon rushes to Hogwarts to help him sign the application form, it will be useless to say anything.
This is obviously impossible.
Kyle's words barely gave him an excuse not to go.
Sirius Black is looking for him, it would be safer to stay at Hogwarts...
Now this is all Harry can do to convince himself.
"Be happy, there is still a party." Ron wanted to cheer Harry up and said, "The party on Halloween will be held in the evening."
"Yeah, that's really nice," Harry said, still not very enthusiastic.
