Learn magic from Hogwarts

Chapter 54: Herbal Medicine

When Eve and the others arrived, the team members were already warming up.

There were only a few people in the audience.

The two found a seat near the front and sat down, and Eve began to watch the players below with interest as they warmed up.

During the warm-up phase, the players are not in a hurry to go to the sky. They are basically moving their hands and feet. Because they are not uniform, everyone does their own thing, which seems a bit funny.

In addition to those wearing formal Quidditch uniforms, there are also many wearing school robes, who should be new students participating in the selection.

A full eight, which happened to be the total number of Hufflepuffs and Ravenclaws yesterday.

I guess there will only be more in Gryffindor...

Noah might not have thought it before, but after seeing the number of Ravenclaws and Hufflepuffs yesterday, he finally realized that the "many" Mrs. Hooch said before was so many.

It has been a day of screening, and there are still eight people...

In this case, either the screening here is slow, or there are really too many Slytherin students participating.

Glancing at the excited Eve beside him, Noah pondered for a moment and decisively sank half of his consciousness into the sea of ​​consciousness.

Learning makes people happy, and reading makes people happy.

In the afternoon they had Herbology lessons with Hufflepuffs.

The professor of Herbology class is named Pomona Sprout. She is a short witch with flowing gray hair and wearing a thick hat full of patches. She is also the headmaster of Hufflepuff.

Herbology class, as the name suggests, is a subject that studies magic and ordinary plants and mushrooms, which is equivalent to botany in the Muggle world.

In this class, young wizards will learn how to care for and use different types of plants, and learn about their magical properties and applications.

This course may complement the potions course, because many of the plants learned in this course can be used as ingredients in potions and medicines. Of course, some plants also have special magical effects even if they cannot be used as medicine.

Therefore, some plants are more dangerous and complex, but these are obviously not accessible to first-year wizards.

Their class was held in the greenhouse behind the academy castle. There were seven greenhouses in total. Because they were enchanted, there was no way to see what plants were inside from the outside of the greenhouse.

But the first grade wizards are taught in the first greenhouse.

Because the class is for first-year wizards, the first greenhouse is the safest and most harmless.

The plants here do not attack people and are not too dangerous. It is easy to take care of these plants as long as you use the right methods.

The greenhouse is divided into multiple areas, divided into many areas according to humidity, temperature and specific weather conditions.

Most of the plants are placed in flower pots, and only a few are planted in the ground.

In the center of the greenhouse is a long table, with a total of thirteen flower pots placed on both sides of the long table, with some green plants planted inside.

"Okay, first-grade little wizards, please pick a flowerpot and stand in front of it."

Noah glanced at these flower pots. Although he didn't know much about plants, he could see that these plants were well maintained.

So he picked the first flower pot at random.

Eve chose the other one he had on hand.

The remaining Slytherins lined up spontaneously, much faster than the Hufflepuffs on the opposite side.

However, compared to the Slytherin "leader" who chooses first and other people choose based on the situation, the Hufflepuffs are obviously choosing carefully. They will look at each pot and then choose the one they like, although it is a little slow.

, but it is subtle and does not cause disputes.

Professor Sprout did not rush them and gave them enough time to make a choice.

After all the little wizards had made their selections, Noah found that he was facing Cedric.

Cedric smiled at him, and Noah nodded in return as a greeting.

The professor clapped his hands: "Now, let me introduce to you the plants you will take care of in this class."

She picked up the flower pot in her hand, pointed to the flower stem inside and said: "This is fragrant mallow. In fact, it does not have strong magic power, but it is a kind of vanilla that can bloom very beautiful flowers. It is usually used

Materials for prediction and divination.”

"The fragrant mallows in front of you are already more than a year old. They will bloom in another three months. So your task in this lesson is to fertilize, water and prune them."

"Once fragrant mallow blooms, the flowering period will be long and the number of blooms will be high. Therefore, there must be sufficient fertilizer before blooming. In comparison, less water is needed..."

She spoke seriously while demonstrating with the basin in her hand.

The Hufflepuffs all listened attentively. Although they were a little disappointed that this plant had no special magic power, they still listened attentively.

On the other hand, Slytherin seemed a little cold. Most of the little snakes were not very curious about this useless plant. Although no one spoke, their expressions seemed a bit perfunctory.

Professor Sprout didn't pay too much attention. After she finished her instructions, she let the little wizards start trying.

The first is fertilization.

The Hufflepuffs took small shovels and carefully pushed away the soil in the flower pots, fearing to damage the roots of the plants.

"Don't be so careful." Professor Sprout was very satisfied with their attitude, but still reminded them.

Slytherin was more casual. Even Eve was not interested in serving plants. She directly inserted the shovel into the soil, intending to directly remove a large area of ​​soil.

Noah, who was looking at the plants in his flower pot, his eyes twitched, and he put his hand on her small shovel: "The roots are going to be cut off by you."

Eve: "...Oh."

She pulled out the shovel, reduced the force and inserted it again.

Noah: "..."

Forget it, just be happy.

Noah used a shovel to dig up the soil and apply fertilizer as the professor just said.

But Noah finally remembered why he felt that the plant in front of him looked familiar. It was very similar to a plant called "mallow" in the Muggle world, but it was a little shorter, and he didn't know what the flowers would be.

What does it look like.

In his previous life, he had grown mallows at home, and the method of planting that he just heard from the professor was similar, so he was very familiar with it.

Soon he finished fertilizing. Although it was not the fastest, it was not slow either.

He looked around at the soil in the flowerpot and used a shovel to slightly flatten the raised parts, intending to make the plant more beautiful.

At this moment, he seemed to catch a glimpse of some dark shadow flashing past him out of the corner of his eye.

Noah subconsciously turned his head to look, but found nothing.

There were only some flowerpots and unknown plants there, at most two pod-like plants with branches and leaves swaying slightly.

The black shadow just seemed to flash over the flowerpot?

Noah thought with some uncertainty.
