Chapter 535 Herbal Medicine Class, Return the Property to Its Original Owner
Kyle didn't know if what he said was of any use to Hermione, but at least now it seemed that she should have listened.
"You've done a good thing," said Hagrid. "Hermione wanted me to join, but I refused.
“I don’t think she could have asked all the house elves to ask for their wages, but she clearly wasn’t listening.”
"Oh, Hagrid, I just didn't notice..." Kyle looked at his haggard look and the strong smell of alcohol on his body, and couldn't help but said: "How much alcohol have you drunk?"
“Oh, no.” Hagrid explained: “I didn’t drink, I just accidentally spilled the whiskey prepared for the Talisman Horse.”
"I hope so." Kyle said, "School is about to start. Don't forget that you are still a professor. You need to cheer up."
Who knew that Hagrid would be even more disappointed after hearing what Kyle said.
"I may not be able to be a professor... My parents won't agree, just like Lupin. Now I just hope that Dumbledore can keep my position as gamekeeper and don't kick me out of Hogwarts."
"It seems that you didn't listen to what we said either." Kyle shook his head, "Just wait for one more day. After the Christmas holiday, a new edition of the Daily Prophet should be published. By then you You can take a look, you should be surprised."
"I don't want to read it." Hagrid looked a little excited. "I dare say there must be an article in the newspaper where that woman accused me. I really don't want to see those harsh words."
"Believe me Hagrid, this time is different, there will be surprises." Kyle patted Hagrid's arm, and then returned to the castle with Connor and others.
School starts tomorrow, and they need to return the books they borrowed for homework first.
While in the library, Kyle also saw Hermione. She was sitting there with a stack of thick books on the table next to her.
At the top are two thick tomes... "History of Medieval Goblins" and "House Elves: Helpers or Enemies".
This is a good thing, it proves that Hermione really listened.
Kyle didn’t bother her and left after returning the book.
the next day.
Probably because too many people stayed in school for Christmas, although school started, no one felt the slightest difference. The auditorium was still as lively as ever.
The ground is still covered with thick snow, but the greenhouse is as hot as June. There is a layer of fine water droplets on the windows, which condense into ice cones after falling.
“Wear dragon skin gloves and concentrate, you must not relax in this class.”
Professor Sprout said, she pointed to a long flower pot on the middle table and said: "I believe you have all seen biting cabbage in the first grade, but you couldn't learn this at that time.
“I must remind you again that biting cabbage is a very dangerous plant, quite dangerous.”
As she spoke, she took out a thick wooden stick and lightly tapped the flowerpot of the biting cabbage.
Under everyone's gaze, the originally peaceful biting Cabbage suddenly opened its big mouth full of sharp teeth and bit the stick into pieces like a biscuit.
Everyone subconsciously took a step back and clung to the greenhouse wall.
For most people, this is their first direct experience of the dangers of herbal medicine classes.
Although I have learned about many poisonous plants before, such as belladonna and fanged geranium, in terms of visual impact, none of them together can compare to the biting cabbage in front of me.
Just thinking about the scene of the wooden stick being chewed to pieces just now, the hands and legs of some timid people can't help but tremble, and they are unwilling to get closer.
"Don't worry, be bold." Professor Sprout said, "I specially selected biting cabbage that is not yet fully mature. As long as you wear dragon skin gloves, you will be fine... And even if there are special circumstances, Madam Pomfrey It can also solve this problem.
“Hurry up, everyone, go forward. We need to change the soil for the biting cabbage today. It’s not possible to be so far away.”
At the urging of Professor Sprout, everyone cautiously moved closer.
"Look at Kyle, he's not afraid at all." At this time, Professor Sprout suddenly said: "Oh, that's it, one foot, this distance is just right, which can not only ensure safety, but also complete the work of replacing soil. , good, five points for Hufflepuff."
Everyone looked over immediately, but quickly looked away... Warriors, there is nothing surprising about this.
When everyone came to the table, Professor Sprout clapped his hands and began to demonstrate how to change the soil in the flower pot without disturbing the biting cabbage.
The students read it very carefully, for fear of missing any detail.
Next comes the specific operation. It’s still the same, with four people working in groups. Because this task is more difficult, Professor Sprout also said that it only takes four people to complete the soil replacement work together. There is no doubt that the group of Kyle, Connor, Mikel, and Ryan were the first to complete it, and it only took less than ten minutes.
"It's incredible." Professor Sprout walked over, looked at the flat new soil in the flower pot, and the biting cabbage that seemed to be sleeping quietly, and said in wonder: "You can do it for the first time. It's perfect, and it's so fast...Kyle, you really have the potential to become a magical botanist."
"It's nothing, practice makes perfect..." Kyle said, but quickly changed his mind, "Well, I mean, I just wrote down all the steps and followed them exactly."
“Of course, that’s what I meant.”
Professor Sprout said with a smile, "But this job requires more than just memorizing the steps. You also need to be calm enough and your hands are steady, so that the biting cabbage can't notice anything strange during the whole process, which is very difficult."
“Maybe I was lucky.” Kyle said with a smile, “I just happened to encounter a biting cabbage that reacted slowly.”
Kanna turned her head to the side and covered her mouth with her hand to prevent herself from laughing.
How lucky is Kyle? There is a large piece of biting cabbage in his box, almost hundreds of them. Isn't it simple to replace them with soil?
But Professor Sprout didn't know this. As a reward, she gave Hufflepuff another ten points.
As if a whole day had passed, the bell finally rang. Everyone took off their scratched dragon leather gloves and rushed out of the greenhouse.
Kyle walked at the back, and while Professor Sprout was maintaining order, he secretly took out two seeds from his pocket and threw them into the flower pot next to him.
Hmm...The seeds taken away in the first grade, although it was a little long ago, can be regarded as returning to their original owners.
“I really hope I won’t learn such dangerous things in the next class.”
When Kyle caught up with Connor, someone was still complaining, "Did you hear the sound of the cabbage biting the glove... Merlin, my hands were all sweaty at the time."
"I thought so too, but Professor Sprout said that the course on biting cabbage will last for a month." A Gryffindor student sighed.
“Really? When did the professor say that?”
“It was just after class, didn’t you hear?”
"No…"
Then, there was another series of sighs.
After returning to the castle, Kyle saw a tall figure as soon as he came to the foyer.
Hagrid was talking to Sirius, and what was even more rare was that he was still smiling.
After noticing Kyle, Hagrid came over immediately.
“You have no idea what happened.” He spread out a newspaper and pointed to an article on the front page. “That person... Rita Skeeter, she actually put in a good word for me.”
"Really?" Kyle glanced at the newspaper subconsciously. There was still a picture of Hagrid on it, showing him taking care of an injured cat.
【Is the hybrid giant real or fake, and what is hidden behind the ferocious appearance. 】
“It’s unbelievable, I never imagined that the giant was bandaging the cat’s hind leg instead of eating it.
In addition, similar situations have happened many times.
“I received a lot of help from Hagrid when I was in school. He is a warm-hearted person and the best gamekeeper.” A person who has graduated five years ago said so.
And letters like this are still being sent.
Even the savior, Harry Potter, once said in public, "We don't care if he is a half-giant."
This makes people wonder whether Rubeus Hagrid, this huge, fierce-looking man, is really a hybrid giant, or whether he is just a big-framed man..."
Kyle stopped reading after that.
I have to admit that Rita Skeeter is quite capable. Although it is a contradictory article, it actually makes sense when I read it.
