101. Second greenhouse
McGoth didn't think about sending out all the magic cards at once, anyway, the others must have started to promote the magic cards tonight, and he was quite sorry, he needed to go to Snape tonight, and he couldn't see the victory of the first day of magic cards. However, he could also think that when the time came, they would easily lose the extra magic cards in their hands, and maybe they wouldn't even be able to keep what they had in their hands, and he was going to wait for a few days to start giving away the two magic cards in his hand when they had time.
At lunchtime, Hermione might have seen something in Harry and Ron's expressions, and when she asked if they had done something, McGoth gave her an innocent look. Hermione couldn't see what was wrong with him, put down the dishes, took out a thick stack of books and began to read.
McGoth looked at the steak he had only eaten halfway speechlessly, "I said you don't need to be so serious, there are still one hundred and eighty years before the exam, it's not too early for you to start reviewing now." ”
"Early? No, I don't think I'm early enough, you have to know that we have to pass these exams to get to Year 2, and this knowledge is very important to us, in fact, I should have set the revision tasks for the next semester in the last semester. Hermione looked at him with a look of goodness, "McGoth, you should start reviewing now, we have to work harder." ”
"Okay, okay, you're right." McGoth felt that she and she had less and less common ground. Shouldn't exams be improvised?
Fortunately, Hermione only said a little, and when she saw his carelessness, she stopped caring about him and read her own book.
After eating, Harry and Ron ran away, and there was no need to guess that they were going to promote magic cards, but they didn't know which grade they were going to.
Hermione wasn't in the slightest interest in what Harry and Ron were doing, and she was now completely caught up in a nervous review.
The bored McGoth remembered the last time Professor Sprout went to their house to take away the female ghost, and he didn't seem to thank her yet, and was ready to go over to thank her.
"Hermione, I'm going to Professor Sprout, are you going?" Hermione didn't ask what she was doing, nodding her head and putting away the book.
Professor Sprout's office is located at the back of the castle, and from there you can quickly reach the greenhouse.
When they got to the door of the office, no one opened the door after knocking for a while. A passing Hufflepuff told them that the professor was in Greenhouse Two and that they could go there and find her. After thanking them, they followed the path behind the office to the location of Greenhouse 2.
Greenhouse No. 2 is located under a bunch of tall trees, walking to the door of the greenhouse, it looks a little eerie from the outside, Greenhouse No. 2 is different from the No. 1 greenhouse they are now in class as transparent, the whole greenhouse seems to be made of a kind of impermeable black cloth, from the outside it seems to be a huge black monster lying there.
McGoth walked over to the door and knocked gently, "Professor Sprout, are you there?" ”
"Wait, here." As soon as McGoth's words fell, a dull female voice sounded by the door.
Magos and Hermione looked at each other curiously.
"What kind of plant do you think it's going to be?" Hermione looked at the greenhouse in front of her and asked curiously.
McGoth shook his head, to be honest he felt that anything a wizard did could not be speculated on by common sense, it would be far from what you imagined.
They had not yet spoken before the door to the greenhouse opened, and Professor Sprout, dressed in thick clothes and wearing a mask, stepped out from behind the door and interrupted the two young wizards who were about to say hello and quickly closed the door again.
"Alright, it's Mr. Will and Miss Granger, what are you looking for me?" Professor Sprout said with a smile as he removed his mask.
"Professor, I came to you, and I thank you for leaving in a hurry last time, and I haven't come yet." McGoth said gratefully.
"It's okay, I thought it was nothing, you are a student in the school, and you should help you, and we are also neighbors." Professor Sprout smiled and waved his hand, not caring enough.
McGoth smiled and took out a fine piece of porcelain, "Anyway, you've done our family a great favor, and this is the tea you drank last time my parents asked me to bring you." ”
Professor Sprout's eyes lit up, and he was not polite, he picked it up and looked at it, "Thank you to your parents for me, I want to try it again after I went back last time." After saying that, she took out a bag from her body, rummaged through it for a while, and took out two seeds, "When you go back, plant these two seeds one in your parents' bedroom and one outside, it can serve as a warning, especially for magical wizards and some unnatural creatures." ”
McGoth wanted to shirk a few words in his mouth, but his hand quickly picked up the seed, this is a good thing, it just so happens that his family has recently confronted several families of wild wizards, although he believes that they dare not risk being wanted by the Ministry of Magic to do something they shouldn't do, but in case they lose and jump off the wall, with this thing there is an extra layer of insurance.
"Thank you so much, Professor." Magos smiled like a flower.
Hermione glanced at the overjoyed McGoth and expressed disdain for him, "Professor, what kind of plant seed is this, and it has such a strange effect. ”
"This is the seed of the creeping branch, a plant that must be planted in the wizard's house in ancient times, but it has become less and less common, and it is almost difficult to see now, this is what I found on the territory of the centaur a few years ago, and I exchanged some other plant seeds with them." Professor Sprout is proud to have found this almost extinct plant.
After expressing her admiration, Hermione curiously asked why the greenhouse was so dark and what plants were inside.
Professor Sprout seemed very pleased with Hermione's question, and with a mysterious expression, he said that he wanted them to see it for themselves. After taking them to a cubicle and dressing up in the same clothes and face shields as her, she told them to follow her and not talk when they entered.
McGoth and Hermione nodded their heads, curious to see what was inside.
Professor Sprout opened the door to a crack in a person, and the two of them consciously and quickly got in, and the inside was as they expected, it was dark and not in the middle of winter, only the light of the crack where the door opened, and when Professor Sprout came in and closed the door, he couldn't see his fingers inside.
"Get used to it, it's not completely dark inside." Professor Sprout made a dull voice.
McGoth nodded regardless of whether she saw it or not, as time went on, he slowly adjusted to the darkness inside, and could vaguely see a small path.
"Professor, I can see that." The feeling of speaking through the hood made him a little uncomfortable.
"I can do that too, Professor." Hermione's voice followed.
"Okay, you follow me along this path, they all just fell asleep today, pay attention to be quiet, but don't worry too much, I'm here, let's go." With that, they left, followed by McGoth and Hermione.
But to be honest, although the two of them had adapted to the light inside, the visibility was still too low, and it was still dark even if they looked into the distance. Just when they wondered if there were any plants here, Professor Sprout suddenly stopped, and McGoth hurriedly stopped his legs.
"Professor, what's wrong?"
"Don't make a sound, they're all very discreet, and you'll be able to see the most beautiful scene after a while."
McGoth and Hermione looked at the darkness with some curiosity and nervousness, and there was no sound around them except the heartbeat of the three of them.
A minute passed, and it was still pitch black.
Ten minutes passed without the slightest change.
Twenty minutes passed, and McGoth was already a little impatient.
Nearly half an hour passed, and nothing had changed, and just when McGoth had given up on the beautiful scene that Professor Sprout had mentioned, he suddenly saw a firefly flash not far away.
As he looked intently, the dark and silent greenhouse suddenly seemed to change into another world, and all kinds of noisy sounds appeared, like the sound of snakes crawling, and like the sound of animals breaking into the forest.
Hermione stepped back in fear, and even McGoth was a little creepy, feeling like there were snakes all around.
"Here we go." The three words that Professor Sprout spoke softly seemed to be like a switch.
A glimmer of light flickered in the distance of them, and the next second another glimmer of light flickered away in another place. Then, there would be a flickering glimmer of light around him, and he stood in the middle of the greenhouse, looking at the flickering shimmer around him, and at first he didn't decide what the big deal was, but gradually, he suddenly had the feeling that he was rising infinitely, bigger and bigger, bigger and bigger, until he felt like he was holding up a piece of the universe.
He had a strong feeling that he was the center of the universe, as if he was the universe, and the universe was him, and he could no longer feel Professor Sprout and Hermione beside him, as if he was the only one left in the whole world, and the light around him seemed to him like stars that were constantly being born and destroyed. He just watched the light of life and death motionlessly, not feeling time and space.
After a while, the flickering frequency of the surrounding shimmer began to decrease, and he seemed to be shrinking as well. When all the glimmers disappeared, McGoth still looked at the darkness around him with some flurry, as if he had experienced the birth and death of a universe.
"The wizard who saw this scene for the first time was the same as you." A phrase that seemed to come from a distant edge slowly reminded Magos of where he was.
"Teach...... Professor? He turned his head to look at Professor Sprout behind him, a little confused.
"Welcome back, Mr. Will." Professor Sprout's muffled voice gave McGoth a sense of unreality.
"Looks like you're not fully recovered, and neither is Miss Granger." Sprout shook his head, "It seems that Headmaster Dumbledore's words are still very reasonable, and this scene is really not suitable for the young wizard of the first year to see in advance." ”
