The next day, after returning to the dormitory from training, Bruce found Harry and Ron unexpectedly out of bed. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"It's really strange that you two woke up so early today!" Bruce quipped.
Harry put on his clothes and said, "No way, I don't want to be fired for being late!" ā
The first class of the new semester is Transfiguration, and Professor McGonagall is still very strict, but it is more complicated than the content of the first year, Professor McGonagall asks them to use magic spells to change the appearance of living creatures, and the first class is for them to turn a mouse into a wine glass!
It was also the first time Bruce had cast a spell on a living creature, but his good foundation and excellent mana control allowed him to comprehend spells far beyond his peers, so he turned the rat into a golden goblet in one goblet, earning Professor McGonagall praise and the first ten points of the new school year Gryffindor!
Everyone is no longer surprised by Bruce's rebellious performance, and now he has become a "student professor" in everyone's hearts, and almost everyone will ask him for help in almost all classes, and Bruce is still the same style as ever.
Professor McGonagall was stern but not rigid, and she allowed the atmosphere to be a little chaotic if the students were for the sake of the lesson. Looking at the other classmates of the professor, Professor McGonagall nodded with satisfaction, and said in her heart, "It seems that Bruce will become a very good prefect in the future!" Maybe it's the president of the student council! ā
Close to the water, Harry and Ron naturally received VIP treatment, Ron did not have the trouble of breaking the wand and was very confident to cast a transformation spell on the mouse, but in the end it was just a mouse in the form of a "rat" into a mouse in the form of a "wine glass", and even had a fluffy appearance and tail, but Ron was very satisfied, he thought it was already good!
Hermione was as good as ever, and she also scored points for Gryffindor. Of course, Gryffindor "Demolition King" Simon still made an eye-catching performance and successfully performed the first blast of the new school year!
In the afternoon, it's a herb class with Slytherin!
The students changed into special costumes and went to the greenhouse where the magic plants were grown, and Professor Sprout, the professor of herbology and fellow Hufflepuff head, arrived early in the greenhouse, dressed in her brown robes, which were always stained with dirt.
The long table in front of them was already filled with pots of green plants, and this was what they were learning about today. What was curious was that the branches and leaves of those plants would shake on their own, and everyone looked at these mandrakes with great interest!
However, compared to these mandrakes, the blues are more interested in the roof of the greenhouse. Through the transparent ceiling, Bruce saw that lying on the eaves of the greenhouse was a stone sculpture of an oriental dragon. It was the first time he had seen the culture of the East here, and he was very interested in it.
"Dangdang!"
Professor Sprout tapped his wand on the pot, and everyone fell silent. Professor Sprout smiled and said, "Welcome Year 2 students to the third greenhouse, today we are going to learn how to repot mandrakes!" But before that, who can tell me about the characteristics of Mandela's rhizomes? ā
There was no doubt that Hermione, "Miss Jack-of-all-trades," was the first to raise her hand, and Professor Sprout gestured, "Miss Granger!" ā
Hermione immediately said confidently, "Mandela, also known as Mandrake, can be used to heal people with petrified spells!" ā
"Very good!" Professor Sprout said appreciatively, "Miss Granger must have reviewed the textbook before class, which is very good!" Gryffindor plus five points...... Kindness? ā
At this point, Professor Sprout noticed Hermione screaming in the sky...... Forehead! Bruce, who looked up to the sky, said, "Mr. Sterling...... Mr. Sterling! ā
Bruce was intently looking at the stone dragon when he was suddenly bumped by Hermione on the side.
"Ahh What's wrong? Bruce asked hurriedly.
Hermione gave him a helpless look and pointed at Professor Sprout!
"Huh!" Malfoy and the others immediately let out a sneer.
Professor Sprout looked at him disapprovingly and asked, "Mr. Sterling, could you add something about Miss Granger?" ā
"Huh!" Bruce stood there awkwardly, he didn't know what the problem was, but Hermione, although very dissatisfied with his lack of seriousness, still told him the problem very righteously.
"Mandrakes are a dangerous species, and their rhizomes emit high-pitched crying sounds, which can kill people when they are severe!" Bruce replied fluently.
Professor Sprout nodded with satisfaction and said, "Very good! But, Mr. Sterling, you must listen carefully in class, and you! Especially if you don't want to spend the whole school year in the medical room, you should definitely listen carefully! ā
As soon as they heard this, everyone didn't dare to desert anymore, and they all pricked up their ears.
Professor Sprout picked up a pot of mandrake and continued: "As Mr. Sterling said, mandrake cries are deadly. But the mandrakes here are still just seedlings, and their cries aren't loud enough to kill you, but they're enough to make you deaf, so I've given you earmuffs to protect yourself! Now hold up your earmuffs and let me see if everyone has gotten it! ā
Everyone immediately lifted their earmuffs, and Professor Sprout said, "Good! Everybody has to buckle it up later, and then see my movements clearly! Now put on the earmuffs, and I'll show you through, and remember that no one can take off the earmuffs! Now put the earmuffs on, hurry! ā
Everyone immediately buckled the earmuffs to their ears, and even some timid students covered the earmuffs with their hands. As soon as the earcups are pressed onto the ears, the surroundings become extremely quiet, and even the sound of your own heartbeat can be heard.
Professor Sprout also took the earmuffs, then grabbed the branch of the mandrake in front of him and suddenly pulled it out. When something that looked like a deformed monster baby danced its "limbs" and let out a piercing cry, it felt a tingling in the ears even when everyone was wearing earmuffs.
The "monster baby" looked so disgusting that Professor Sprout immediately put it in a new pot and covered it with new dirt, only to stop crying.
Then Professor Sprout took off the earmuffs, and only at her signal did the crowd dare to take them off. At that moment, Neville suddenly rolled his eyes and fainted, and Professor Sprout hurriedly said, "Oh my God! Didn't Mr. Longbottom wear earmuffs?
Bruce helped Neville to his feet and said, "No, ma'am! I think Neville just fainted! ā
"Alright! Poor boy, let him lie down for a while! Professor Sprout said helplessly.
