96. Unexpected professor
Unexpectedly, one of the professors arrived at his home that evening, but not Professor Snape, whom he regarded as his mentor, not Professor Flitwick, who regarded him as a junior, nor Professor McGonagall, their headmaster, and certainly not the awesome Headmaster Dumbledore, but the head of Hufflepuff, Pomona. Professor Sprout.
Professor Sprout's arrival was quite dramatic, she didn't come by phantom, she came over, she probably just came out of the greenhouse before she came. When she was about to enter Will's castle, she was stopped by the security guard at the gate as a homeless. She was not annoyed, and smiled and told the security guard that she was McGoss's teacher, and let him come over to find out. Although the security guard didn't believe it, he still knew what it meant to be invisible, and he didn't have a brain to the point that he couldn't see anyone.
He asked her to wait for a while, and told the butler on the walkie-talkie, the butler didn't know which school McGoth attended, only knew that the school was very mysterious, and he didn't dare to slack off and directly found the Count and told him, the Count knew that McGoth contacted the professor of the magic academy as soon as he came back, but he didn't expect that the professor would arrive in just a few hours, and while asking the housekeeper to call McGoss, he and Mrs. Will went out to meet the mysterious professor of the magic academy.
At this time, McGoth was sitting in the room in a daze, thinking about where the professor who came over would suddenly appear, the fireplace or the next second? When the butler came to inform him that a woman who claimed to be his teacher was outside the door, he didn't react until the butler said it again, and he hurriedly got up and ran downstairs.
The Countess hurried to the gate, and saw a smiling, short, fat lady, with unkempt hair, a patched hat, and dirty clothes covered with mud, which were quite good, and her shoes were exaggerated, and dirty like a peasant woman who had just returned from a busy job in the field. The image of this lady made the Will couple dare not recognize it at once, and they couldn't see the professor's feeling at all, no wonder the security guards didn't let her in, and they were not sure whether this was a professor at the school of witchcraft or magic now, which completely couldn't connect them with the mysterious and powerful expressionless wizard they imagined. Still, they let her in and nodded to her in a friendly way. Professor Sprout seemed accustomed to the look of surprise in them, and politely asked if they were Will's parents, who were his herb professors.
When Mr. and Mrs. Will heard this, they no longer cared about her appearance, greeted her respectfully, and after chatting a few words, McGoth rushed over.
"Professor Sprout?" McGoth looked at the professor who was communicating with his parents in surprise, he didn't expect it to be this professor who had a very ordinary relationship with him.
Sprout smiled and nodded, seemingly pleased with his surprise.
"My house is actually not far from here, and Hagrid came to me directly after receiving your letter, so I stopped by to have a look."
McGoth also recovered from his surprised expression at this time, and thanked her very seriously, he would not be ignorant to think that this Hufflepuff dean who was inconspicuous in the original book would only make some flowers and plants. Only those who have truly understood the power of those plants in the wizarding world will realize how powerful this dean is who can train those magical plants to be as obedient as dogs. It's just that she adheres to the Hufflepuff culture and is very low-key, and it may be that she has little interest in anything other than those magical plants, which has caused her reputation to be inconspicuous.
After welcoming the professor into the living room, the old rule is to let everyone else leave. Mrs. Weir herself handed her a delicious pastry, and recalling that she was Magos's professor of herbology, set aside the coffee she was going to brew, and took the mother plant from China, which the Count regarded as a treasure, and brewed some for her.
The earl saw that his wife had grabbed so much tea from his treasure, and the corners of his eyes twitched, but it took him a lot of time to get it, and he was reluctant to drink a little, and he was actually soaked so much today, and his heart ached.
Professor Sprout had no interest in pastries or anything, and was about to ask McGoth to talk about the trouble he had encountered, when he suddenly smelled a fragrance that only she could smell. With her knowledge of plants, she immediately guessed that the tea in Mrs. Will's hand was brewed from plants that were more than a hundred years old, and her interest was greatly increased.
After thanking him, Professor Sprout took a gentle sip of tea, and a very satisfied expression appeared on his chubby face.
"What kind of tea is this, it's much better than what I've drunk before."
"This is a big red robe from China." The Earl was immediately intrigued when he saw that Professor Sprout liked it, and said smugly, "And I have heard that it is made from the mother plant that has lived for more than 300 years." ”
"Good thing, compared to it, the tea that Hagrid brought back from the depths of the Forbidden Forest is nothing compared to it." Professor Sprout's eyes lit up, obviously interested in the mother plant on Wuyi Mountain, the big red robe, and McGoth was afraid that this professor, who was unusually interested in plants, would go to China to study this national treasure, and hurriedly said that this was something that ZF was extremely concerned about, and if he went, ordinary people would be aware of the existence of wizards.
The Earl was still thinking about what Professor Sprout was talking about in the Forbidden Forest, and when he heard McGoss's words, he looked at him curiously, how did he know that this was something that ZF was concerned about. On second thought, it was not surprising that he should have known from that dream.
Professor Sprout didn't doubt how McGoth knew, but he was a little disappointed that he couldn't see it for himself, and picked up the teacup and savored it slowly. It wasn't until a cup of tea that he asked McGoss what he said.
While Mrs. Will was renewing her tea, McGoth told her about the tape and handed her the tape.
"I can really feel a little bit of negative energy, but it's different from the ghost." Professor Sprout said curiously, looking at the Muggle products in his hand.
McGoth was overjoyed, originally he was worried that even the professors would not be able to feel the female ghost from this movie tape, but now he didn't have to worry, and hurriedly asked how to get rid of it.
"Don't worry, it can follow you all the time, in fact, to put it bluntly, it is also a kind of phantom migration, but your magic power is too low to be discovered now, and when you become an adult, you can sense it as soon as it appears." Professor Sprout smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about getting rid of it, just a disturbing spell or a sealing spell, you can tell me the original from the moment you encounter it." ”
McGoth was afraid to tell the attack of the female ghost that night, and the relaxed expression on Professor Sprout's face when he heard that he was attacked first disappeared, she thought that she was just being relied on by the female ghost, but she didn't expect that there was such a thing in front of her. She frowned and asked how Magos had managed to escape, and Magos told her the steps.
"Occlumency plus the Ghost Awakening Spell?" Professor Sprout said to Magos with a happy face that the success rate of the Ghost Lucid Charm was low, and even if it succeeded, it didn't mean that the ghost would let him go, and he was lucky this time. Mr. and Mrs. Will were also terrified. McGoth continued to tell her what was going on, including his speculation about the Japanese Ministry of Magic.
Professor Sprout had no opinion on McGoss's speculation, thinking that he was exaggerating, but she was angry at the inaction of the Japanese Ministry of Magic, knowing that if it wasn't for his good luck this time, Hogwarts would have lost a student.
At the moment, she didn't stay anymore, took the movie tape and left Will's house directly with the phantom, and heard her say that she went directly to Headmaster Dumbledore.
Mr. and Mrs. Will were stunned by the sudden disappearance of the professor, until McGoth told them that she had returned to school.
"Is that the tape going to be there again?" Unlike the Count, who was still thinking about the efficiency of the phantom migration, Mrs. Will focused only on the female ghost who followed their family.
"Don't worry, Mom, Professor Sprout is one of the four deans of the school, and it will be okay with her help, and we can sleep well today." McGoth comforted his mother, who had recently been sleep-deprived.
Then, because it was getting late, they simply ate dinner and went back to their room to rest, and McGoth was finally able to sleep peacefully today.
When he woke up the next day, McGoth took a serious look around and was completely relieved to make sure there were no movie tapes around. In order to celebrate getting rid of the female ghost, he decided that he must have a good time today, and he happened to have a few days off and had not seen Hermione, so he would go out together in the afternoon.
In the last few days of school, McGoth was with Hermione almost constantly, occasionally meeting some classmates in Diagon Alley, if it was a pure-blood wizard with a good relationship, such as Malfoy. They would also take him to experience the Muggle world, although they said that Muggles were too inefficient, but they could still see from their eyes that they had been attracted to this flowery world, but they didn't want to admit it for the sake of face.
They once met Seamus, who insisted that they go to his house, and in desperation they agreed that his mother was a wizard and his father was a Muggle, but it seemed that his mother's status did not cause any trouble for their family. His parents were very enthusiastic about McGoth and Hermione's arrival, and his mother asked them to take care of him. According to Seamus, his father was very resistant to his mother's use of spells when he knew that his mother was a wizard, but since he couldn't find his key several times and was directly in front of him by his mother with a flying charm, he changed his mind, and now his opinion is that magic is really convenient, why wouldn't he?
Before you know it, the Christmas break is over, and McGoth is once again on the platform nine and three-quarters with his stuff.
