Chapter 61 61. Mushroom-picking Xiao Guliang (please give me a monthly ticket!)

The Gryffindors were all cheering for the flying chase between Harry and Malfoy, and didn't even notice Dudley and Hermione's little moves. However, some Slytherins saw it, and then they consciously and silently covered their eyes.

.

'We don't dare to say either.'

'We don't dare to ask.'

'We don't know either.'

As a result, the two of them successfully crossed the lawn and jogged along the path to the edge of the Forbidden Forest.

Hermione's heart was beating "thump, thump" all the way. As a good student, skipping classes was a taboo for her.

But it was so exciting and interesting.

Hermione's face was as red as a ripe red apple.

Flying lessons without being able to fly are really boring, so why not take this opportunity to walk around? It’s been a while since I came to Hogwarts. I’m either in the bedroom, in the classroom or in the library. I haven’t taken a good look around this magical place.

Woolen cloth.

The Forbidden Forest during the day is generally good except for the dim light.

Hogwarts is located in the Scottish Highlands on the island of Great Britain, with a temperate maritime climate. The trees here are mostly oak, maple, and beech. The continuous black area gives people a depressing look at a rough look.

Feel.

Of course, this was only for other little wizards, but Dudley had no interest in it.

The place where Dudley lived before was called a mountain with eighteen bends, and there was a mountain everywhere.

The Forbidden Forest is just a larger forest. Of course, the magical creatures and plants that live in it are the focus.

"Wow" Just stepping into the edge of the Forbidden Forest, Hermione was deeply attracted by the scene inside.

The sunlight passes through the gaps between leaves and branches, forming green and yellow mottled light and shadow on the forest floor. The light and shadow are constantly dancing with the wind, making people feel a harmonious beauty.

Even Hermione's originally agitated mood calmed down.

When Hermione was attracted by the scenery of the Forbidden Forest, Dudley watched her secretly from the side. He could tell that Hermione was worried about something recently, not just the depression of not being able to fly smoothly in the flying lesson, but something else, but she didn't

He said it was not easy for him to ask, and he hoped to take Hermione to the Forbidden Forest to relax her mind.

In fact, this little girl has a stubbornness in her bones, just like herself.

So does Harry.

But he seems to be following himself. No, it’s because after getting along with him for a long time, his personality has become similar.

Are stubborn people attracted to each other?

Huh. It sounds like he is a substitute messenger.

Hermione jumped ahead and was so curious about everything in front of her.

At this moment, she seemed to be no longer the Gryffindor know-it-all, but just an ordinary energetic girl.

"Here, here! Dudley! Come here quickly!"

Hermione stood under a tree that was at least a thousand years old and could only be hugged by four or five people. She waved her arms towards Dudley. When Dudley came over, Hermione pointed to the branches above and said.

"Look there!"

The sunlight filtered through the tree crown and shone on the trunk, making the texture of the bark more clear. Looking in the direction Hermione pointed, Dudley saw a small tree in the gap between the trunk and the branches.

Five-petaled yellow plant.

St. John's wort is a relatively rare herb. It is said that the devil has left evil power on this herb. If you rub the leaf veins with your fingers, blood-like juice will appear. It can be used to treat anemia and aunt's disease.

Problem, but it is mainly used to treat stab wounds and gunshot wounds.

Hermione chirped like a lark as she explained to Dudley the uses of this herb.

Dudley didn't express any opinions, just smiled and listened patiently.

Although he recognized this herb early on.

After Hermione finished explaining, Dudley climbed up the tree branch in a few moments, took out a small shovel and other tools from the small bag at his waist, carefully dug out the herb, and then put in the ones he had prepared earlier.

In a vial.

“Great approach”

Hermione's theoretical foundation is very strong, but her practical ability is much worse. At least she thinks she can't do it like Dudley.

Then thinking of the way Dudley's hand, which was clearly the size of a leaf fan, was holding the herbs carefully with two fingers, Hermione couldn't help but laugh.

A soft sound like a silver bell echoed in the forbidden forest, and the pair of white rabbit teeth were so eye-catching.

"Hermione, you look so pretty when you smile. Smile more in the future."

Dudley told the truth very straightforwardly, which made Hermione blush and cover up her inner shyness with a small fist on her chest.

Otherwise, the Forbidden Forest next to Hogwarts is a natural treasure house of potions. Just by walking around, Dudley harvested a lot of potions, although they were not very precious varieties.

, but there are so many of them, you can see one every few steps.

I won’t talk about Chinese herbal medicines like mistletoe, Houttuynia cordata (Zheer root), Baixian, water chestnuts (Puchi), and rue. Dudley collected a lot, especially the rue, which almost took away all the roots. It seems that

I plan to go back and cultivate it.

Dudley and the others also discovered Barbo tubers, which are between magical animals and plants.

It was a very ugly plant that looked like a big, dark, slimy slug.

However, this thing had very high medicinal value, so Dudley carefully kept it.

By the way, its juice will cause some damage to the skin, so be sure to wear dragon skin gloves when removing it.

After Dudley put away the herb, he found Hermione standing in front of a green, mushroom-shaped plant that seemed to be emitting a faint fluorescent light.

Obviously, there are times when our know-it-all lady doesn’t know.

"This is a kind of herbal medicine called Mushroom. We have to study it in the fourth-grade herbal medicine class. Logically speaking, it should belong to the fungus class like other mushrooms. However, there does not seem to be a separate subject of magic fungi in herbalism.

."

"The fungus is very sensitive. Once it is stimulated, it will spray paralyzing spores. It can be used to make paralysis potions."

Theoretically, the mushroom itself is more precious than the Babbo tuber, but unfortunately the wizards in the wizarding world are only interested in its spores.

"The mushroom itself can be used as medicine to make strength potions."

"It's a pity that most wizards don't have much interest in this kind of potion."

For wizards, increasing strength does not mean anything to them. Slight magic-enhancing potions or magic-enhancing potions are the way to go.

But this thing was exactly what Dudley needed, so after some more careful picking.

Get the magic potion ingredient Mushroom.

"Xiao Guliang, a mushroom hunter, carries a big basket on his back."

"One, two, three, four, five, five, five, five, six, seven, eight."

Dudley, who was in a good mood, began to hum a song unconsciously, and pulled Hermione even harder while walking and picking up potions.

The two of them strolled slowly through a small area of ​​the Forbidden Forest. When they realized what they were doing, the moon had already hung on the branches.

'Oops!'

Dudley thought of something and was suddenly shocked.

'I missed my meal!'
