Harry Potter: The Dragon That Sleeps

The initial herbal medicine classes were for rote memorization. They had to memorize a large number of herbal types and their habits and characteristics. Of course, the more important thing was to remember some key points of cultivated crops and basic matters for the production of magic power.

Yes, the first thing you learn in Potions class is not how to take care of potions, but how to take care of your own farm.

Jody, who had reviewed the books in advance, knew this and passed the first class relatively easily. The Slytherins around him seemed to be very uninterested in such rough work as farming. They gathered together to discuss

He tells interesting stories within the family, and occasionally teases and teases the students of the Hufflepuff branch who happen to be in class together.

The magical world is very rich in materials, but the economic system is poorly developed. This is partly due to the goblins who manage money.

But no matter how little money is on hand, a wizard cannot worry about food. The Weasley family, one of the twenty-eight pure-blood clans in the original book, embodies this very well.

Together with Harry and Hermione, two regular foodies, the family of about ten people cannot live solely on Mr. Arthur Weasley's salary. In fact, their daily expenses are

Relying on the crops around the Burrow for support.

Rote memorization is not what Jody is good at, but in order to cope with the nine-year compulsory education, Jody has to upgrade his memory skills to a very high level and unlock some necessary tricks.

It only took Jodi a few minutes to identify thirteen invasive wild plants and accurately tell how to clean up these harmful weeds. This made Professor Sprout very pleased, "Great, it seems we can

Mr. Jody listened very carefully. Five points for Slytherin."

Jodi never thought that the extra five points would bring him some minor trouble.

"Professor Sprout, I would like to ask a question." While other students were still studying the difference between splendens and carnivorous calamus, Jody approached Professor Sprout.

"What's wrong? Honey."

"There is a question that I was very curious about when I was reading the book before. Are the magic-like effects produced by magic plants the same as the magic we cast? I mean, for example, the same petrification effect will happen if you accidentally take stone skin berries.

Can't it be rescued by removing the petrification spell?"

"Oh, no one would be stupid enough to put something like that in their mouth, but it is indeed a question worth knowing. But for questions related to potions, you should ask Professor Snape, he is the expert."

But compared to Snape, Slop was obviously more willing to answer these questions that had nothing to do with the class.

"I can only tell you something in a very simple way, because it involves both potions and charms... There are many similarities between potions and magic effects, but they are not exactly the same. This is related to the origin of charms.

The example you gave is very special. Petrified berries do have an effect similar to petrification, but this effect actually comes from the toxins rich in its pulp. So the rescue process is to remove the toxins rather than to remove the curse."

Sloupt opened up the conversation.

"The origin of the petrification spell comes from the basilisk lizard. The initial petrification spell required the use of the eyeballs of the basilisk lizard to cast spells. Later, after continuous optimization, the petrification spell was born."

Jodi seemed to be attracted by the new content in the topic, "Is the petrification curse originally an imitation of a magical creature? Are all spells derived from imitation?"

"Of course not, dear." Sprout explained patiently, "It is true that most of the origins of curses come from models, but subsequent interpretations have little to do with their prototypes. Just like high-level

Legilimency in the spell is an upgraded product of the Oblivion Curse, and the Oblivion Curse is a mutant form of the Confusion Curse, and the Confusion Curse is a degraded version of the Lost Grass."

"Does that mean that people who are immune to the Lost Grass can resist the Oblivion Curse?"

Sprout seemed to be stunned by the question, "Well... you have to ask Professor Flitwick about this. At least I haven't heard that people who have more contact with the Lost Grass are able to resist the Imperius Curse, haha

…”

Halfway through the words, Professor Sloupt seemed to realize that he had said a bad word, "Okay, dear, you have to go back to your seats... Children! I think you should remember it almost!...

…”

Jody received a lot of useful information from Professor Sloupt's words. It turned out that the Imperius Curse and the Confusion Curse, one of the Unforgivable Curses, were actually the same series of spells.

When Jodi heard Sloupt mention the Lost Grass, he thought he had accidentally found the key to practicing Occlumency, but now it seems that things are not that simple.

Jody was not idle in the following time. He continued to read the Potions book. In order to cope with the subsequent enrollment of the broom star (Harry Potter) and the subsequent main story of Voldemort, Jody needed a lot of time to increase

Your own chips.

As the suspicion surrounding the first show of the school year gradually faded away, what Jodi was worried about still happened.

No matter how well he pretended to be at the beginning, Jody was destined to be an outlier. His tattered robes, old books, and large gaps in common sense made him easily become someone who was isolated and bullied.

What's more important is that for Jody, all his life has to be used to increase his chips. He can't spend his time forming a gang with a group of teenage boys. And the senior group is unwilling to accept a guy without any knowledge.

The kid who takes advantage of the value.

So after Jody ignored the overtures of several small groups, he was completely isolated.

It is impossible not to take sides in Slytherin, especially for a guy with impure blood like him. The negative characteristics of Slytherin, a special house, are beginning to show the tip of the iceberg.

These brats need a bully or two to establish their power. Jody didn't notice it at first, but unknowingly he had become such a suitable target.

He has a certain degree of popularity; he has no backstage; he has no helpers; he looks like he has lost his mind in reading and is holding various books all day long; he is also a magic novice with little ability to resist.

Jody would always ask questions in class, and his conspicuousness got him into trouble.

"...Hmph, he seems to be very interested in those herbs."

Jody didn't realize the comments were about him until much later.

Turning his head, he saw from the corner of his eye the tall young man among the Slytherins gathered together, looking at him with evil intentions.

...What is this thing called?

"Only Mudbloods and those of lower bloodline need to dig in the soil for food! Look at his poor appearance, his robes... He doesn't look like a Slytherin at all!"

Gibbs next to Jody also heard these words, and Jody could feel his uneasiness and hesitation.

It takes courage to betray one's own class, and Jody did not expect Gibbs to defend himself.

Jody seems destined to be incompatible with their class, and conflict is bound to arise.

It's not that White Lotus wants to resist the arrogance and monopolistic behavior of the nobles, it's just that in Jody's view, these nobles have already constituted an obstacle.

Jody remained silent and let those people point behind him, until the eye-catching red hair of Gryffindor House, who was approaching not far away, appeared in his field of vision.

Jody suddenly turned around, "Miles Blige!"

When his full name was suddenly called loudly, Miles subconsciously shut up. When he realized that the person calling him was the target of ridicule, he immediately felt offended.

"What did you just say? Do you dare to say it again in the name of your family?"

Stimulated, Miles grinned his big mouth with two buck teeth sticking out, "Ha! You can say it as many times as you like, you are a lowly guy with a doubtful bloodline. Only! Inferior! Bloodline! Can you do it to yourself?"

Look for something to eat in the dirt."

But in fact, what they eat comes from the soil.
