Chapter 35: You still want to run away if you offend the professor?

On the first day of class, students eat breakfast in the cafeteria while looking at their schedules.

Mrs. Weasley's roaring letter arrived as scheduled.

Mrs. Weasley's lion roar skills, combined with the power bonus of the Howler Letter, made the entire Hogwarts dining hall tremble, and even the dust on the ceiling was shaken off.

Zhang Xu complained about the sanitary corners of Hogwarts, and at the same time, he popped out his wand and made a gust of wind blow the dust out of the door.

Zhang Xu felt that Harry and Ron deserved it.

On the way to the cafeteria this morning, Zhang Xu ran into Harry and the two, and Zhang Xu asked Harry why he didn't let your owl send a letter to inform the school, so that Harry and Ron ran away with their faces covered.

The first lesson of the day is Transfiguration.

Zhang Xu walked into the classroom trembling and hid in the last row of the classroom, but he found that Professor McGonagall's eyes had been fixed on him.

Zhang Xu knew that Professor McGonagall was a fair and strict educator, strict with others and even stricter with herself, and she would not retaliate against students who offended her for her own selfish interests.

But when Professor McGonagall has a temper, and when someone like her digs a hole for you, you still consciously jump in and have fun.

The content of today's Transfiguration class is more difficult than before, or every Transfiguration class is more difficult than the last.

Today's lesson is about turning a beetle into a button.

Professor McGonagall spoke earnestly from the podium, and Zhang Xu listened attentively from his seat.

The Transfiguration class is the most serious course that Zhang Xu has learned, not because he offended the teacher and didn't dare to make a mistake, nor because the difficulty was too high and he couldn't keep up with the progress if he wasn't serious, but Zhang Xu had a dream of changing sheep in his heart.

Traveling through the reborn person, it is used with some episodes of past lives.

For example, Zhang Xu's most slippery game now is the lighting technique, and his favorite thing when fighting is the big fireball, and the sheep transformation technique is his next goal.

There are also spells such as Frost Aura, Flame Aura, and Chain Lightning that are also being studied.

Although there are similar spells in this world, how can it be interesting to study them yourself.

When it came to the practical part, Zhang Xu spent a few minutes turning the beetle into a flat button with four holes in the middle.

Zhang Xu looked at the Tubula button in front of him, and thought for a moment to turn it into the kind of copper button on his jeans.

Then, Zhang Xu turned it into a copper button with the Hogwarts crest on it.

"As good as ever, Mr. Zhang."

At this time, Professor McGonagall's voice remembered beside Zhang Xu.

Listening to Professor McGonagall's voice with a hint of coldness, Zhang Xu felt that she had something to say.

"I think I should make it a little more difficult for you, try this."

As soon as Professor McGonagall finished speaking, a small dried fish landed in front of Zhang Xu.

Zhang Xu's head twitched, thinking that if he ate this little dried fish, would it be considered an indirect kiss with Professor McGonagall? Then he turned the small dried fish in front of him into a button in the shape of HelloKitty.

Zhang Xu didn't know how to get through the Transfiguration class, and he found himself going farther and farther on a road called death.

Today's second class is a herbal medicine class, which is held with the students of the Snake Academy.

Zhang Xu and his classmates walked out of the castle and walked through the vegetable field to the greenhouse.

Zhang Xu is very familiar with this way, because he has to prepare some side dishes when he plays hot pot at night, right? The greenhouse, which nurtures all kinds of magical plants, is the vegetable garden of a group of curious little wizards.

"Today to the third greenhouse!" Professor Sprout, who had a bandage on his arm, said.

When the students arrived in the third greenhouse, Professor Sprout stood behind a stool in the middle of the greenhouse. On the stool are earmuffs of different colors.

Professor Sprout asked the students, "We're going to repot the mandrake today." Now, can anyone tell me what the properties of a mandrake are?"

Zhang Xu was the first to raise his hand, and he didn't want to miss the opportunity to brush up points for the college.

"Mandrake, also known as mandrake root, is a powerful restorative at its roots, an important part of most antidotes, and is often used to restore a person who has been deformed or under a spell to its original state."

"At the same time, the leaves of the mandrake also have medicinal properties, it has a strong hallucinogenic effect, and if taken in small amounts, it has a sleeping effect. After soaking the leaves of the mandrake in a high spirits for more than half an hour, and soaking the medicinal ingredients in the leaves, the leaves of the mandrake are a very refreshing vegetable, which is suitable for salads or blanched food."

"Digging mandrakes is a very dangerous job because hearing the cries of mandears can kill people. Therefore, when digging a mandrake, one way is that the person must plug the ears, and the other way is to prevent the mandrake from crying, such as pulling out the head of the mandrake, and cutting off the head of the mandrake with a knife immediately before it cries, so that the headless mandrake will naturally not cry. ”

"There's a difference between a mandrake root that cries after digging it out and doesn't. At the beginning, the head was cut off and the mandrake root that had not cried, and after the skin was peeled off, the flesh was dark and tasted astringent. The flesh of the weeping mandela root after peeling off the skin is tender white, there is no astringency to eat, and it is very refreshing. ”

Professor Sprout: (¬_¬)

Zhang Xu: ( ̄ー ̄)

Professor Sprout: "That's a perfect answer, plus fifteen points." However, I still have to remind you, Mr. Zhang, that herbs are not vegetables, and I don't want you to be sent to St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Injuries because of mandrake omelets or something. ”

Zhang Xu: "I'll pay attention, Professor Sprout." ”

After Professor Sprout demonstrated to the students how to repot a mandrake, it was time for the students to do it.

The mandrake does not want to be pulled out of the soil or stuffed back. They wriggled, kicked their feet, waved their little pointed fists, and gritted their teeth.

But their IQ is a hard flaw that can be solved with a little skill.

When you loosen the soil around the mandrake and grab the leaves on its head and lift it up, they will burrow down on their own. At this point, you just press it down gently, and it will think that you are going to stuff it into the dirt, and it will crawl out on its own.

The same is true when planting a mandrake in a pot, first stuffing some of the roots into the soil and then pretending to pull it out, so that the mandrake burrows into the soil on its own.

I don't know who invented this little trick, but those students who often come to the kitchen to eat hot pot at night know that because there is no fresh mandrake root in the kitchen warehouse, you have to bring your own if you want to eat it. If it weren't for the fact that Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry had made a fortune last year to expand the greenhouse, the students would have eaten half of their herbology classes to the point where there were no textbooks available.

Professor Sprout saw that many students from both colleges had mastered this skill, and he immediately felt tired and wanted to retire.
