Buckbeak's case ended hastily. Fudge stood at the back door, looked at it twice, signed the document, and then took the other two people back to the Ministry of Magic - next, there is something more important.

Things are waiting for him to do!

When Dumbledore also left, Harry, Ron and Hermione hurriedly opened the door and entered the hut.

"Maka, you really did it!" Hermione said excitedly, "We all saw it, Buckbeak went to the Forbidden Forest -"

"As long as you know it, you can send it away later, and this matter is over." Maka nodded, "But don't be too busy being happy... Harry, I think there is something you need to know.

You can go to Professor Lupine's office and he will tell you everything."

"What's the matter? Can we go together?" Ron asked strangely.

"Of course. In fact, this matter has a lot to do with you." Maka said, "You two go together!"

"Aren't you coming along?" Hermione asked.

But Maka shook her head, "I still have things to do, so I won't join in the fun."

Maka indeed had a lot to do, but what no one expected was that the first place he went to was the seventh greenhouse.

There was no other reason for him to go there, just because those unknown plants had sprouted flower buds. But it was precisely because of those flower buds that no one could enter the seventh greenhouse.

Professor Sprout told Macca that the appearance of those buds made those plants more attractive to organisms.

It was about a few days ago!

That morning, a senior student came to Sprout to apply for entry into the seventh greenhouse to observe some of the more dangerous plants.

Of course it is a good thing to like learning, and the student's performance in herbal medicine has always been good, so Professor Sprout quickly approved his application.

However, the student did not return the key until noon that day, and Professor Sprout finally noticed something was wrong.

When she arrived outside the seventh greenhouse, she vaguely saw a figure standing motionless through the glass of the greenhouse.

And the position he was facing was exactly the area where the plants were planted by Maca.

Professor Sprout immediately recalled the characteristics that those plants had always shown, and she understood that those plants were most likely to grow buds...

Sprout thought for a while, then closed his eyes, clamped his nose, and even put on a filter mask - no way, there are many wonderful plants in this world that are always hard to guard against.

, to her, this is the charm of those plants.

But at the same time, it is also the place that gives people a lot of headaches.

Finally, Sprout, who was fully prepared, reached the student blindly and relied solely on his memory, and forcibly dragged him out of the greenhouse...

Today is the day that Maca and Professor Sprout made an appointment - they will cooperate with each other and write breeding records for those plants.

"Professor Sprout, here I come."

Maca first went to the Herbalism Professor's office, where Professor Sprout was sitting on the sofa chair next to the table, waiting for him!

"Oh - just in time, you see - I have written down the specific operation procedures!" Sprout said with a smile, "Come on! Let's take a closer look at it!"

Maka walked forward, sat next to her naturally, picked up the parchment on the table and started reading.

Sprout's office is always so relaxed and casual. There is not even a desk here. There are various flower pots everywhere, and there are colorful plants everywhere you look.

It can be seen from this special office that Professor Sprout is indeed an easy-going teacher.

But Maka has long been used to it - he cultivates magical plants for potion research in several greenhouses, and all of this is inseparable from Sprout's special care for him.

As the dean of Hufflepuff House, Professor Sprout is really satisfied with Maka, an extremely outstanding student. Not to mention that she has always been biased towards students from her own house, even if she is as good as Snape.

Being strict, I'm afraid I won't reject students like Maka.

"Professor, I think this operating procedure is almost impeccable -" Maka finished reading the words on the parchment carefully, he raised his head and said seriously, "However, I think our tasks should be changed."

"You mean, it's up to you to observe them?" Professor Sprout quickly waved his hands and said, "No, this is too unsafe! I am a teacher, and I should do this kind of thing..."

But Maka still insisted on his suggestion. He explained: "Professor, listen to me... I made this suggestion precisely because you have much more experience in dealing with plants than I do. We need an experienced one."

Maintain a state of absolute sobriety."

When Professor Sprout heard this, she thought about it and agreed to Maka's suggestion.

After the process is determined, it’s time to try the actual operation.

The process is actually not complicated. Maka only needs to tie a rope around her waist, then put on all the protective props, walk to the position blindly, and take off the protective gear one by one to try to determine the kind of

Characteristics of the plant.

If Maka is confused by those plants, then Sprout will pull Maka back by the rope, and the position where he wakes up will be used as the area of ​​influence of those plants.

In the end, the two of them completed the cultivation record together.

However, it is easy to say, but it is actually quite difficult. The difficulty is that they are not sure whether Maka can clearly observe the key data he should obtain.

Because, after the student who was confused by the plants woke up, he immediately said that he did not remember what he had seen!

"Professor, I'll go in then." Maka said, then opened the door and walked into the greenhouse.

The layout of the seventh greenhouse is not much different from the last time Maka came here. Many plants that look quite dangerous are constantly showing their teeth and claws, and the influence of those plants does not seem to affect other plants.

Of course, Maka cannot see these situations for the time being, because he is still wearing a blindfold!

Maka was very familiar with the layout of the greenhouse. Even though it was quite big, he didn't make a wrong move and quickly reached the area near the original location.

Maka reached out and touched his left side again. After confirming his specific position and orientation again, he decisively began to take off his protective gear one by one.

Every time he takes off one piece, he will feel it carefully and will not take off another piece until he is sure that there will be no effect.

Not long after, his hearing and sense of smell had recovered, but everything was still normal. Although the air was filled with various smells, nothing happened.

The next step is touch.

Maka stretched out his hand forward, moving his hand little by little... The next moment, he felt his fingertips touching the stems and leaves of the plant, but there was still nothing abnormal.

He touched the plant carefully, and then, a round thing with a sharp tip fell into his fingertips - this should be a flower bud, and it indeed gave birth to a flower bud!

Next is the last step. It’s time to take off the blindfold and observe directly with your own eyes...

The moment Maka took off the blindfold and opened his eyes, a strange sense of blankness filled his entire mind - as if he didn't have to think about anything.

In other words, he lost his consciousness and just maintained his standing posture, staring blankly at the flower buds without any movement.

But not long after, probably only a few seconds, Maka's fingers suddenly twitched.

…

"This is..." Maka looked around confusedly, her mind like a ball of mush, "Um...where is this?"

He found himself sitting on a bed, and the surrounding environment felt very familiar to him, like...

"...like...Torpoint?"

Maka felt as if her memory was slowly becoming clearer.

"Hey, I'm sleepy, isn't it Toppoint?" He suddenly shook his head, reached out and opened the curtains, and the setting sun outside suddenly shone in, covering the originally dark room.

A layer of gold.

He yawned heavily, stretched again, and casually sighed: "Well - it's the beginning of a new day!"

He opened the quilt, got out of bed and put on his clothes, then opened the door and walked quickly downstairs.

Following the sound of "boom, boom, boom" footsteps, a roar came from the first floor: "Damn it, can't you walk more gently? My ancestral staircase has almost been trampled to pieces by you!"

"Come on! Just take care of your family's ancestral pounds!" Maka said as she walked to the bathroom on the second floor.

After he took a shower and tidied himself up, he went down to the first floor.

Half of the first floor of this large double-story house with a loft was converted into a bar by the owner, Angelou, while the other half was used as a kitchen.

In the past, Maka also found his first job here - helping as a cook.

As for the second floor, it was also converted into several separate rooms by Angelou, a bachelor, and rented out to several other residents. Only one slightly larger room was left for him to live in.

As for Maka, she could only live in the attic - after all, it was provided by Uncle Angel for free. And not to mention, although Maka always disliked the cramped and depressing place there, the scenery outside the window was still very good.

"Hey! Angel!" Maka walked from the kitchen to the front bar and said with a playful smile, "Good morning!"

"Boy, don't always regard other people's sunsets as your sunrises!"

Angelou is a strong man with a big beard. Apart from receiving customers, his only hobby is working out. Look at his body of tendons and his height of nearly two meters, he looks like a brown bear.

!

"Look what you said, am I used to the wonderful nightlife?" Maka waved his hand as a greeting, and then he returned to the kitchen, intending to find some food for himself to fill his stomach.
