Chapter 267:-for-tat and gifts (asking for a monthly pass)

"Can you eat it?"

Professor Sprout observed Elena's expression and raised an eyebrow thoughtfully.

She values Elena's solutions more than the answers themselves - if Hermione Granger gives the perfect solution at the student level, then Elena Kaslana's perspective is more like that of an academic pioneer.

However, the lessons that follow are not designed to encourage this kind of risk-taking.

For the vast majority of students, just mastering the knowledge in the textbook is enough, and she doesn't think it's a good idea to encourage children to explore freely too early - after all, in theory, all magical plants are more or less dangerous.

Professor Sprout put the mushroom back in his pocket and said with a serious face.

"Maybe you're right, but there's a chasm between imagination and reality, and if you don't have enough knowledge and strength, even if you're lucky enough to succeed ninety-nine times, if you fail once, you'll pay a heavy price. โ€

"Yes, I know very well that behind every major advance in herbalism, there are countless ancestors who have contributed to it. โ€

Elena nodded, a smile on her face, and replied with extra seriousness.

"If I could, I would like to be like Mr. Newt Scamander who wrote 'Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them', or Principal Philippa Spole who wrote 'A Thousand Magical Herbs and Mushrooms'. โ€

At the same time, Elena silently slipped a saliva in her heart.

There is still a relatively large gap in the magical world in terms of world cognition, and most of the magical plants and magical beasts are currently only in a simple introduction and chaotic use, and have not completed the transformation of industrialization and life.

If we say that from the time when the "Treasure of Mountains and Seas" in the East was written, in terms of completeness in this regard, the European magic world is at least more than 2,000 years behind the history of the Eastern world.

"Very good ambition to stick to your ideas. โ€

Professor Sprout nodded in satisfaction, a gentle smile on his face.

Few young wizards can understand the charm of magical beasts and magical plants, and many more of them are attracted by dazzling magic, and Elena's answer undoubtedly made the herb professor particularly useful.

The fat witch, who was in a good mood, turned around, took off a large key from her belt and opened the door to the greenhouse behind her, and said with a smile on her face.

"If you want to emulate those two great wizards, you have to have a focused learning attitude from the first lesson. First, let's identify some basic magical plants and fungi......"

Obviously, in the wizarding world, there is no systematic arrangement of mushrooms-microbacteria-ascomycetes/angiosperms-gymnosperms-ferns...... that follows the taxonomy of plants, but more according to their danger and preciousness.

Most of the plants in the first greenhouse were ordinary magical plants that didn't call, but even so, it was enough to open the eyes of the little wizards who had been exposed to strange plants so intensively for the first time.

For example, a slight touch will spit out bubbles to attack the enemy's Puff-shroom (the poor little guy is surrounded by a group of curious little wizards and secretly poked many times until he is stopped by the angry Professor Sprout).

For example, when it comes to moonlight grass that can shine in the dark, you only need to look at the eyes of the little witches around you to know that this high-value magic herb is obviously very suitable for giving it out as a gift and placing it next to your bed.

And the most surprising thing for Elena was a plant she originally knewโ€”sunflowers.

"It's the sunflower (flos solis), and of course, Muggles like to call it a sunflower. A magical plant that loves sunlight and turns left and right in the direction of the sun. Of course, "A Thousand Magical Herbs and Mushrooms" doesn't record it, but I think it's a magical plant with endless potential and is well worth studying. โ€

Professor Sprout whispered with a smile on his face.

As she spoke, she drew her wand and gave a gentle click, and a ball of light floated out from the tip of the wand, swaying around the sunflowers, and the young flower disc slowly spun with it.

"Normally, young sunflowers are more sensitive to magic and sunlight, but as they grow, it can easily lose their magic and degenerate into a normal plant if not cultivated properly - which is one of the reasons why the Ministry of Magic did not prohibit Muggles from growing sunflowers. โ€

"However, if cultivated properly, they can even store and actively produce sunlight when they are fully mature. A small acre of sunflower field can even dispel a mile of thunderstorms in a month's worth of sunlight. โ€

The stocky witch looked around with a smile and a slight pause.

"So, now you can guess what is the most important factor in cultivating the Sunflower correctly? The little wizard who answers correctly will receive a small pot of Sunflower as a reward......"

"Ember of Magical Flames!"

"Magical Flame Ashes!"

Before Professor Sprout could finish, Elena and Hermione raised their hands almost simultaneously in reply.

This is almost the norm in this class, and in the face of this kind of lesson that relies purely on memory, Elena, who accepted the challenge, intuitively felt the pressure brought by "Miss Know-it-all" for the first time.

As for Harry, Neville, Ron, Hannah and others who were watching from the sidelines, they had already very self-consciously withdrawn from the competition for class answers, and the only suspense at present was who could overpower whom Elena and Hermione would overpower.

It's just that this time the problem is obviously a little different

Well?!

After saying the answer at the same time again, the two little Lori looked at each other in surprise, and saw an incredible look in their eyes - the record of sunflowers was not written in the textbook, and for the two girls who were secretly competing, this question should be a decisive blow.

Incredible......

Pomona Sprout looked at the two little witches who were facing each other, and raised her eyebrows in a little surprise, Hogwarts has not had such a small wizard who can get rid of his peers for a long time, and this year he didn't expect two to appear at once.

"That's correct, but there's only one reward, so I'd like to hear why you're saying that. โ€

Elena and Hermione glanced at each other, observing the strong desire to win in the little beaver's eyes, Elena smiled slightly, waved her hands, and motioned for the little beaver to speak first.

"It's simple, because of that glass bottle next to the sunflower. โ€

Hermione cleared her throat unceremoniously, tilted her face, and said confidently.

"The label says [Ember of Magical Fire], and I noticed that the substance contained in it was exactly the same as what was sprinkled inside the pot, so I guessed that the answer was Ember of Magical Flame. โ€

"Keen insight. โ€

Professor Sprout followed Hermione's gaze and glanced at the glass bottle resting next to the flower pot, nodded in admiration, and turned to look at Elena, "So, dear, you ......"

"Me too. Elena shrugged helplessly.

"Well, in that case, this little pot of sunflowers ......"

Professor Sprout groaned for a moment, and looked at the two girls with some hesitation, thinking about what to do about it.

"Professor, give it to Hermione, after all, she answered first. โ€

Elena spread her hands and said extraordinarily generously - the tsundere girl still needs to be spoiled a little, anyway, she just wants that pot of sunflowers, no matter who it is.

"But ......"

Professor Sprout frowned, from a personal standpoint, she actually wanted to reward Elena from Hufflepuff House. After all, no matter what, she also has the identity of the head of Hufflepuff House.

"If I could, could I take another potted plant with me? Actually, I prefer to keep that ......."

Elena blinked, pointed to a small pot of white bulb plants not far away, and smiled sweetly.

Although it has not yet budded and bloomed, Elena knows that in the eyes of some people, it must be one of the most beautiful plants in the world, and there is no one.

One ......

White and crystal clear magic perfume lily.
