Drink Black Tea Calmly at Hogwarts

At this moment, Madam Pomfrey felt that she should report to Dumbledore and ask for a salary increase. If not, she could give her a performance bonus based on the number of students she treated.

The ward in the school doctor's office is now full, and the beds are occupied by students with more serious injuries. But if more seriously injured students are sent, they can only go to the beds in the corridor to lie down. .

As for the students with minor injuries, everyone can get out of here after receiving a bottle of potion, and don't cause trouble here.

Fortunately, although there are a large number of injured students, most of them have soft tissue impact injuries, and others have some burns. Except for Zacharius Smith in Badger Yard, whose injury is more complicated, Madam Pomfrey will know after checking it. What to do.

So after Madam Pomfrey classified the injured students according to their injuries, she asked the students who were fine to help pour and apply medicine. As more and more students came to help, Madam Pomfrey finally breathed a sigh of relief.

While Madam Pomfrey was busy, Dumbledore, Professor Sprout and Neville stood next to the messy crime scene, silently looking at the corn, cherry trees and peppers staggering on the ground, as well as The ground thorngrass was trampled to half its life before it was fully mature.

After the three of them walked around, Professor Sprout sighed and said: "Fortunately, it has only been three months since they were planted. If they had matured two or three months later, those students would not just be injured and admitted to the school infirmary. "

Dumbledore didn't answer. After looking around the scene carefully, he said, "So can it be restored in the near future?"

Professor Sprout sighed and said: "There are no more seedlings that can be transplanted in Greenhouse No. 51. It is estimated that we will have to wait until March to re-transplant."

Neville continued: "Today they shot almost all the seeds. When the weather starts to get warmer next month, it is estimated that at least half of the seeds will survive. In this way, all the safety passages previously set up in this area will be gone." used."

"What if we want the remaining injured plants to recover quickly?" Dumbledore asked.

"As long as there is enough fertilizer," Professor Sprout said with his fingers, "But you also know that special fertilizers require various special materials to be prepared. In addition to basic materials such as dragon dung, it also needs to be mixed with CO(NH?)?, Ca(H?PO?)?, K?SO? and other materials.”

Dumbledore was confused by the combination of letters and numbers at the end of Sprout's words. Although he didn't know what the combination of letters and numbers meant, this did not prevent him from understanding Sprout's words. The central idea of ​​Prout's words is money.

"You can submit the request report to the principal's office later.

"Dumbledore said to Sprout and left.

"Longbottom, please estimate how much fertilizer we actually need." Sprout assigned a task to Neville, "Then the report says that the amount planned to be purchased this month is 80% of the actual total amount, and in February it is 60%. , it was 40% in March and 20% in April."

Neville counted it twice on his fingers, and then said to Professor Sprout: "This will require us to purchase twice as much fertilizer as we actually need, Professor."

"There will be just enough fertilizer at that time," Sprout said.

Neville asked: "So much money..."

"Where do you think the funds for the extra research we usually do come from?" Sprout educated.

Neville: "..."

"Write out the budget and give it to me in the greenhouse." Sprout said, "Do you have any questions?"

Neville hesitated for a moment, then pointed behind Sprout and said, "Should we kill someone first and silence them?"

Harry, who came over to say hello after seeing Neville, was immediately confused.

Of course it was impossible to silence them. In fact, Harry didn't hear clearly what Neville and the others were saying.

After Harry and Neville said hello and saw that there was nothing going on in the Forbidden Forest, they returned to the castle.

Harry took out the Marauder's Map to see where Zhang Xu was, and found that he was with Professor McGonagall in Professor McGonagall's office. Zhang Xu didn't leave Professor McGonagall's office until lunch time.

Professor McGonagall was a little surprised that Dumbledore approved Zhang Xu's three-month vacation at the end of the semester, so she called Zhang Xu to ask about the specific situation. Zhang Xu followed Dumbledore's wishes and told Professor McGonagall the reason, and then the matter was fooled. If nothing else, it was Professor Flitwick who came to see Zhang Xu in the afternoon.

As a result, Professor Flitwick did not show up, and after lunch, Zhang Xu was blocked by Harry at the door of the cafeteria.

"You have no control over this matter, so don't ask."

Facing Harry's question, Zhang Xu replied angrily.

"I will tell you what you need to know, but that doesn't mean I will tell you additional things you want to know."

After Zhang Xu finished speaking, he turned around and left regardless of Harry's reaction.

For Zhang Xu, what he disliked most about Harry was Harry's all-round and unreserved suspicion and presumption of guilt about Malfoy.

For years, Harry had been hoping to catch Malfoy causing trouble. But things went counterproductive. Malfoy didn't cause any trouble in the past few years. This year, Xiao Ma's classmate is finally going to do something big. Unfortunately, Harry's investigative actions will be taken into the ditch by mysterious powers at every critical moment.

Zhang Xu got rid of Harry's entanglement and returned to his dormitory, only to find someone waiting for him at the dormitory door.

After inviting Luna to the living room, Zhang Xu was curious about what Luna wanted to do with him.

Zhang Xu went out early this morning, and there was no new tea prepared in the living room. When he found that there was still half a pot of juice left last night, he simply heated it with a wand and poured a cup for Luna and himself.

While Zhang Xu was preparing drinks, Luna invited him: "Come and commentate on the next Quidditch match with me."

"Ah?" Zhang Xu was stunned, "Will you be the commentator for the next game?"

"Zacharais Smith was seriously injured this morning. Ron and Hermione carried him back together. He was accidentally dropped several times on the way. When he walked into the castle gate, he was still unconscious. Why did the door that automatically closed hit his head, so he couldn't leave the school doctor's office before the next game." Luna said while drinking juice from a teacup.

After the graduation of the previous broadcaster, Lee Jordan, the broadcaster position fell to Zachary Smith. In the game between the Lions and the Snakes before Christmas, Zachary Smith's overly biased commentary made the students of the Lions very angry, so he was punished by the students of the Lions one day. Not surprisingly. But what people didn't expect was that the people who took the opportunity to add insult to injury were Ron and Hermione. But considering that this unfortunate man had verbally attacked Ron several times during the commentary of that game, it was good that Ron didn't carry him to the big lake today.

Zhang Xu thought for a moment and then asked: "Why did you think of asking me to be the commentator together?"

"This is Professor Flitwick's request." Luna replied. "The professor said that I can only agree to let me do the commentary if I cooperate with you."

Professor Flitwick was obviously worried that Luna would let herself go when explaining, so letting Zhang Xu participate was an insurance policy. It's just that Professor Flitwick didn't think about what to do if Zhang Xu also let himself go.
