Chapter 15: The Mysterious Seed

Hugo stood in a large vegetable greenhouse with a pair of panda eyes and Will and the other little wizards, no! it was a herb cultivation shed, and there was a flower pot on the long table in front of each of them, and the flower pot was full of demonic soil, and Hugo could feel the heavy, gentle magic from the flower pot.

"This kind of rich variety of magic is carefully blended according to the secret recipe of Lord Hufflepuff, it is very rare, the main ingredient is collected at the roots of the tall dead trees in the depths of the Forbidden Forest, every new student can get a copy of this cherished soil to cultivate their own share of the treasure, I hope you must cherish it, because if you still want to get a copy, you will have to go deep into the Forbidden Forest to collect materials and mix them yourself, believe me that it must not be an easy task!"

It was their herbology teacher who spoke, listening to the gossip Rosalyn, their herbology teacher Lady Payne was originally a well-known wild wizard with a good attainment in plant magic, and later she met Lord Hufflepuff and had a battle with Lord Hufflepuff in plant magic, and then became a teacher of herbology at Hogwarts School, although Lord Hufflepuff never mentioned the results of the competition, but the battle must have been lost by Mrs. Payne.

But since she is qualified to compete with His Excellency Hufflepuff, the cornerstone of Hogwarts, the owner of the Dragon Ancient Tree, and one of the Big Four, and has been recognized by Your Excellency, this also shows that he is indeed extraordinary in terms of plant magic!

Mrs. Payne was only half a head taller than Hugo, and she was still chubby, and she looked like a lovely ball from a distance, and her voice was very mellow, which made people sound very comfortable, and perhaps the personalities of people who deal with the earth are more gentle and steady, giving people a sense of peace and easy approachability.

"Then why did I give you such a precious piece of soil? Because I have a very important and very special assignment for you lovely little ones, which will continue throughout your Hogwarts study life until you graduate! and maybe throughout your life, who knows?" Lady Rose clenched her hands slightly, placed them on her lower abdomen, and faced all the little wizards, her expression was very kind.

"I am going to give each of you a mystical seed and instruct you to plant it in a pot and then nurture it with your own magic, which will be a very long process that will require your meticulousness, patience and perseverance and years of hard work before it can be reaped."

"Mrs. Payne, what's the catch?" asked a little fat man, who couldn't help but be curious.

Hugo knew this little fat man, and he was the unlucky guy named Henry who was answered by black-faced Bagman with a wand pointing at his nose on the first day of class.

Mrs. Rose smiled slightly and showed that kind expression, and said gently: "It is a very interesting harvest, my child, when this seed sprouts and grows up, it will grow into a unique shape according to the different masters of the master, and it will change into different colors according to the mood of the owner, in short, it is a very interesting plant, and other interesting places need to be explored by yourself."

"And what is its name?" asked pretty Rosalyn, standing on tiptoe as she looked into the small box on the wooden shelf next to Mrs. Rose.

Madame Rose took the little box and put it in her hand, so that all the little wizards could see the seeds in the wooden box.

The seeds are very colorful and beautiful, and they seem to be constantly changing colors, they look like broad beans, round and round, very cute, and its full score image immediately caused all the little wizards to exclaim one after another, as if the wooden box contained not seeds but all kinds of beautiful gems.

"It's called the Mystic Seed, of course you can give it a name you like when you have one, mine is called Gigil, and sometimes I think I love it even more than my husband!"

All the little wizards laughed when they heard this, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

"Alright, future wizards, now everyone can come to me to get a mysterious seed, and each person can only get one! trust me, you won't want to put two seeds in a flower pot, because they can fight, and they are very good fights!"

The little wizard Hula surrounded Mrs. Payne at once, and one by one took a mysterious seed from the wooden box that was so beautiful that she had no friends, and Hugo felt that all the girls seemed to have no resistance to such a thing, and they would not be willing to bury such a beautiful 'gem' in that 'dirty' mound of loess if it were not for Mrs. Payne's request.

"Now all look at me, don't make any noise, all look at me," Mrs. Payne had to clapping her hands and shouting loudly before she could turn the young wizards' eyes away from the seed.

"Dig a small hole in the middle of the enchanted earth, then plant the seeds in it and cover it with soil, their preferences are similar to their owners', if you're a Slytherin who likes to stay in the basement, then put it in a dark corner, and if you're a Gryffindor who likes to stay in a griffon's lair, put it in the most spacious and airy place, in short, whatever you like, just put it there"

Oh, I see, it seems that this mysterious seed has no hard requirements for the light and water that normal plants need, and it looks like it is very well fed!

It turned out that Hugo's idea at this time was so naïve, that this 'terrible' seed was more troublesome than Hugo had imagined! Serving it in the future would consume more experience and time than taking care of Robin Hood, Blue Eyes, and Golden Seaweed combined!

It's like an ancestor! If something doesn't go well, he loses his temper! He is petty! And he is very picky.

Just as all students will find out much later how important the teacher's teachings were, it took a long time for Hugo to discover the true purpose and great value of the plant.

At this time, like other little wizards, he put this beautiful seed in the palm of his hand and carefully admired its beauty, reluctant to bury it in the demonic soil.

Hugo could feel the faint magic fluctuations emanating from this seed, and it instinctively sensed the surrounding breath in Hugo's palm like a baby in his mother's womb, and it sensed Hugo's breath!

A trace of magical fluctuations with dependent emotions actually reached Hugo's mind, making Hugo's heart seem to be gently touched at this time, and this strange feeling immediately made his eyes widen with curiosity and show a surprised expression.
