Survived the first night of the second year peacefully......

The next morning, Jon made his way to the Great Hall for breakfast.

On the long tables of the four academies, there was a lot of food: bowls of porridge, plates of pickled herring, slices of bread piled up in small hills, and plates of eggs and bacon meat.

Jon took a seat at the Hufflepuff table, next to Cedric Diggory.

"Good morning!" Jon said casually, then picked up a loaf of bread.

"New second-grade schedule. Cedric smiled and nodded, handing him a form.

"Thank you!" Jon quickly counted out the class schedule and looked up a little, and then he saw the silver badge on Cedric's chest, "You're the Hufflepuff prefect?"

"Yes...... I received a letter from Professor Dumbledore over the summer......" Cedric smiled a little embarrassedly.

"Congratulations!" Jon said quickly.

"Thank you!"

It's no surprise that Cedric Diggory became Hufflepuff's prefect.

First, I remember the Goblet of Fire in the original book, where he also introduced Harry to the prefect's bathroom, and second, he was one of the few good students at Hogwarts who blossomed in both style and style......

Jon turned his gaze to the new class schedule.

The second-year curriculum is no different from the first-year, with one less flying class normally, though Jon himself is an exception.

The first period was a herbology class, which Gryffindor and Hufflepuff students attended together.

......

After breakfast, Jon followed Zacharis Smith and Eloise Midgan out of the castle and hurried to the greenhouse.

Walking into the greenhouse, Professor Pomona Sprout was waiting for them...... She was still wearing her patched hat and covered in dirt.

"How's the summer going?" asked Professor Sprout gently.

"Great, Professor!" Zacharis laughed, "I almost don't want to go back to school!"

Professor Sprout has always been mild-mannered, and some mischievous Hufflepuff students will even make bold jokes with her.

"That's not going to work!" Professor Sprout shook his head, "You still have six years of course to complete......"

As they spoke, the Gryffindor students arrived, and Jon saw Ginny Weasley and Colin Creevey walking in front of them.

"Today to the third greenhouse!" Seeing that the students had arrived, Professor Sprout said.

The students of the two academies began to whisper with great interest.

They had only been in the first greenhouse last year, where there were only some herbs that were not dangerous, such as mushrooms, and the plants in the third greenhouse were more interesting and dangerous.

Professor Sprout removed a large key from his belt and opened the door to the greenhouse.

Jon immediately smelled the smell of damp earth and fertilizer, and the air around him seemed slightly cold and damp.

"Come with me, everyone, and don't touch any plants!" Professor Sprout reminded.

The students hurriedly followed the pace of the herbology teacher.

After a minute, they finally stopped in front of a pile of black, ugly-looking vines.

"Did anyone tell me what it was?" Professor Sprout asked, glancing at the crowd, "I think I introduced them to you in a herb class last year!"

"Is this the Devil's Web?" replied Ginny Weasley in a whisper.

"That's right, Miss Weasley!" Professor Sprout nodded in satisfaction, "Can you tell me what are the characteristics of the Devil's Web?"

"The Devil's Web likes cold and dampness, and warmth is its natural enemy, so they are afraid of flames......"

"Very good, Gryffindor plus five points!" Professor Sprout paused, and continued, "Flames are the biggest predator of the Devil's Net, but what else?"

"The devil's net will bind the prey around them, and the harder the prey breaks free, the tighter their restraint will be!" Jon began.

"That's right. Professor Sprout gave Jon an approving look, "The Devil's Web is so resilient that it is difficult for even a magical creature with great power like a dragon or a basilisk to break free...... Hufflepuff also added five points. ”

Then, Professor Sprout's gaze shifted to the unsightly pile of vines......

"That's it!" she shouted.

Before she could finish speaking, she jumped into the devil's net......

Jon finally understood why Professor Sprout always had a lot of dirt on him.

Several of the girls screamed in fright.

I saw that those black vines quickly began to spread, firmly binding the Humpty Dumpty Witch who was deeply trapped in it.

"It's like this......" Professor Sprout said with some difficulty, and the devil's web continued to spread over her, binding almost her entire body firmly, "The more I tried to break free...... The tighter the devil's net will be tied......"

Jon's face became solemn, he was worried that Professor Sprout would not get away with it, knowing that the Devil's Net is not an ordinary herb, they are very dangerous and can even kill!

He had reached into his pocket with his right hand and grabbed the handle of his wand...... Just in case.

A vine of the devil's net had bound Professor Sprout's neck, making her unable to make any sound.

Then a burst of flame appeared, enveloping the black vines...... The black vines began to shrink little by little, and Professor Sprout crawled out of them without a hurry, and then walked through the flames.

Jon couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief......

It seems that he is too worried, no matter how the professor is also the head of Hufflepuff, a wizard at the level of Professor Snape and Professor McGonagall, and he has been dealing with these dangerous herbs for so many years, how can he not handle such a trivial matter.

"So, if you're attacked by a devil's net in the wild, don't panic...... Just relax your body and summon a ball of flame!" Professor Sprout said gently, "I think Professor Flitwick should have taught you the Flame Charm in your first year. ”

Then, Professor Sprout turned around, the flames she had just summoned without a wand and silently were still burning violently.

Jon noticed that the devil's nets, which had retracted into their original state, were still getting smaller and smaller under the spur of the flames......

Professor Sprout still hadn't retracted the flame, which was still burning one or two yards above the Devil's Net.

Soon, the large piece of devil's net that had just disappeared seemed to disappear completely, and more than 20 dark green balls the size of a ping-pong ball appeared out of thin air on the ground.

"Does anyone know what this is?" asked Professor Sprout, smiling.

This time, there was silence throughout the greenhouse......

Even Jon frowned, the dark green balls in front of him almost touched his blind spot.

"I don't think you know......" Professor Sprout withdrew the flame and carefully picked up a dark green ball on the ground, "Even Mr. Philida Spoh's A Thousand Magical Herbs and Mushrooms doesn't have any description of it......"

"I call them the spores of the devil's web, and they were discovered by an accident last October. Professor Sprout explains: "If you use the devil's nets with fire or bright light, but do not burn them directly, they will eventually turn into spore form. ”

"Zacharis, come here!" Professor Sprout ordered suddenly.

"Huh?" Zacharis-Smith walked over with some curiosity.

Professor Sprout handed him the spores of the devil's net, and Zacharis took it with some trepidation......

As soon as he held it, the whole spore began to swell and grow violently, enveloping Zacharis's entire arm...... Poor Zachares, screaming in fright.

Fortunately, Professor Sprout summoned another ball of flame in time to free Zacharis's arm.

As soon as the devil's net was released, Zacharis sprang out a dozen yards as fast as he could, muttering, "It's terrible!"

The other Hufflepuff students couldn't help but laugh.

"That's right. Professor Sprout held back a smile: "The spores of the devil's net, after being stimulated to a certain extent, will also have the same effect as the devil's net, quickly trapping their prey...... So, if we try to divert the spores of the devil's web, we have to be a little more careful. ”

"Is anyone willing to try to divert the spores of the devil's net?"

The Gryffindor and Hufflepuff students looked at each other.

"I'll do it!" Jon volunteered.

"Okay, Jon...... You come to me. Professor Sprout said hurriedly.

Jon stepped over to Professor Sprout's body and bent down, staring at the spores of a devil's web in front of him.

"Be very gentle, the spores of the devil's web are very pretentious, and if you move a little roughly, they may attack you!" Professor Sprout instructed in his ear.

Jon nodded, then very carefully, pinching the sides of a spore with two fingers, and finally placing it lightly on the palm of his hand.

"Good!" Professor Sprout continued, reminding, "Keep it as steady as you can and send it to the pot on your right!"

Jon took small steps, moving a little...... After more than ten seconds, he carefully placed the spores into the pot.

"Very wonderful!" Professor Sprout was the first to applaud, "I think I could add ten points to Hufflepuff...... Who else would like to try it?"

"I'll do it!" Ginny Weasley volunteered.

Ginny also managed to get a Devil's Web spores in her hands, but unfortunately there was a slight problem with the movement...... The spores wrapped around Ginny's body at great speed, but Professor Sprout rescued her in time.

"Are you alright, girl?" she asked, concerned.

Ginny nodded sheepishly.

"You've just moved too fast, you should be ......," Professor Sprout continued.
