Afternoon.

Outside the castle.

After parting ways with Hagrid, who was reluctant, Li Fei slowly paced to the greenhouse.

Through the transparent window of the third greenhouse, Li Fei could see Professor Sprout showing the second-year wizards how to grow mandrakes.

In the Muggle world, there are also mandrakes.

Mandrake is a collective term for several species of perennial grasses in Europe, Africa, Asia, and North America.

The common mandrake in Europe and northern Africa is about a foot tall, and its roots are forked and resemble a human body, but not very much like ginseng.

The leaves of this mandrake are mostly oval, with bell-shaped white or blue flowers, and the fruits are juicy berries that are almost perfectly round.

In Europe, there is a superstitious belief that a mandrake will bring happiness and wealth to the family.

There is also a superstitious saying that when a mandrake is uprooted, its screams can be heard.

Mandrakes in the wizarding world are a different breed.

It is a powerful restorative that can be used to restore a person who has been deformed or under enchantment to its original state, and is an important ingredient in most antidotes.

Its leaves are essential for the cultivation of the Animagus Transfiguration.

Its humanoid tubers are very crisp, and it is said that in parallel time and space, there was a student named "Zhang Yiyi", who went to the greenhouse to steal mandrakes and go back to the kitchen to mix salads and eat.

It's hard not to suspect that the evil witches in Western legends who eat children raw are actually just Hermione cooking mandrakes.

You can't explain this to Muggles.

This herb, which goes back thousands of years to its ancestors, has a resounding name – ginseng fruit.

It is important to note that mandrakes are very dangerous.

Because once the young mandrake grows up, it becomes moody, and people will faint at the sound of its cry, and even the blood will clot and die.

When the "pimples" on the young mandrake have healed, the final transplant can be performed.

is obviously ugly to death, but he still cares so much about his appearance...... That's what we're talking about.

The mandrakes have a grand dance party in the greenhouse before they reach maturity.

When they want to transplant themselves into a pot that someone else has prepared for them, the mandrake is fully mature.

Through the glass, watching the group of little wizards take the mandrake out of the small flower pot and fill it into a larger flower pot, Li Fei outside the greenhouse watched it with relish.

The young mandrake had a very strange temper.

They hissed and screamed, as if they were reluctant to be dug out of the soil.

When you finally dig them out, they refuse to go back to the soil.

In the greenhouse, Professor Sprout, who was wearing earmuffs and directing a group of little wizards who were also wearing soundproof earmuffs to repot the mandrake, suddenly found Li Fei who was watching with relish outside the greenhouse.

As if greatly frightened, Professor Sprout raised his wand, and a string of shiny flower-style characters appeared in the air:

"The teacher went out temporarily, and everyone was strictly forbidden to take off the earmuffs!

Nothing else is as usual, there will be no danger. ”

With that, he hurriedly picked up a pair of earmuffs and rushed out of the greenhouse.

"Li Fei! Why are you here, doesn't Madam Pomfrey want you to rest more! Professor Sprout hurriedly put on sound-isolating earmuffs for Li Fei.

only to find that Li Fei, who had put on the earmuffs, had a question mark on his face, and because the sound insulation effect was too good, he didn't hear what he just said at all.

Carefully removing a slit in the earmuffs, Professor Sprout repeated what he had just said.

Still speaking at a slow pace, Li Fei slowly raised his head: "It's okay, Madam Pomfrey asked me to go shopping more and relax."

You don't have to worry, I know the characteristics of the mandrake, and the school's greenhouse is also sound insufficiency.

I think you should bother with the mischievous 'seniors' in the classroom more than me;

In the minute or two you're away, they're so mischievous that they're about to tear the roof of the greenhouse over. ”

Professor Sprout hurriedly turned his head to look, and at the same time felt a sense of helplessness in his heart, how could he forget the Weasley twins in the greenhouse.

After hurriedly instructing Li Fei to leave here quickly, this place was too dangerous for Li Fei, Professor Sprout hurried back to the greenhouse.

On the glass of the greenhouse, an unknown red liquid is being written:

“Lee fei！

I see you！

You are the hero ！ ”

(Li Fei!) ）

(I saw you through the glass!) ）

(You're old!) Old handsome! It's awesome! ）

Wordlessly, covering his face with the hem of the wizard's robe, Li Fei hurriedly left from the greenhouse.

Unexpectedly, Li Fei, who was persuaded by Sprout for a long time, was directly persuaded to retire by his twin brothers.

Passing by a small garden at the back of the greenhouse, where a wide variety of beautiful flowers are planted, countless ignorant teenagers and girls used to come here late at night to replenish each other's salivary amylase.

Now, on this lazy afternoon, many Hogwarts stray cats gather in the garden to bask in the sun.

A handful of tabby cats are jumping and dancing, chasing butterflies among the flowers.

Well, Li Fei knew the strength of the Hogwarts tabby cats, and he didn't even dare to look in the direction where those tabby cats were.

For fear of being asked, "Do you want to dance too......?"

However, it is also a good option to soak up the sun on such a warm afternoon.

Walking to the back of the castle, Li Fei used to exercise in the morning.

Due to mental weakness, Li Fei has not been allowed to exercise in the morning for a full week, and has been lying down for a week, and his body is seriously tight.

After moving his muscles and bones casually, Li Fei found a corner and sat down against the wall.

If it had been in the past, I would have taken out a deck chair from the ice pendant and squinted comfortably in the sun.

Unfortunately, you have to follow the doctor's instructions, and you can't use a little magic power.

The school doctor is really terrible, saying that if you lie down for a day, you have to lie down honestly for a day.

It's boring and boring, just like the author of cervical spondylosis, and can't even code words to update.

Out of the corner of his eye, he was drawn to the rhythmic passing shadows.

It was a cat's tail, flicking in the air.

Looking up, a Siamese cat, somewhat like Elu, was resting by the window on the first floor of the castle.

As we all know, a cat's tail is two different creatures from a cat.

Even though the cat was taking a nap, its furry tail was still dangling in front of Li Fei's eyes.

Never mess with a sleeping cat.

This is Li Fei's experience summed up in the face of countless stray cats.

And the cat in front of him looked a little too happy, which made Li Fei have a different interest.

Plus a gust of wind blew, and a few broken leaves fell on the cat's body.

Slowly reach out and hold the cat in your arms.

It slept so deeply, didn't it wake up?

Taking out a silver comb from his pocket, Li Fei gently combed the cat in his arms.

Its fur is so smooth, is this a pet raised by a young wizard?

If you have the chance, you must get acquainted.

The cat in her arms opened her eyes for a moment, then slowly closed them.

After staying up for two nights, I wanted to bask in the sun, but I didn't expect to be old and sleep in the sun.

It's too embarrassing to move.

In the evening, while eating, there was a message from Gryffindor House.

Professor McGonagall makes a surprise check for plagiarism in Transfiguration assignments.

The Weasley twins were punished by Professor McGonagall for cleaning the school's public toilets for three days for typos, and were not allowed to use wands.

Li Fei was deeply puzzled, and Huanhuan, a classmate beside him, raised his nose and smelled the smell on Li Fei's body, and understood everything in an instant.

This wave, this wave is called: anger.

PS: The Animagus has a fixed image, and Professor McGonagall is a tabby cat with a square pattern around the eyes.

But I'm going to make a little bit of a mistake here, because she's a master of transfiguration, and it doesn't hurt to tweak some of the cat's traits a little without changing the species.

Because it's a bit of an excessive chapter, it's nearly 7,000 words for today's third update.

Ask for monthly tickets, ask for recommendation tickets, ask for new book investment, and ask for promotion.

From a confused author who is guilty of cervical spine again, has no recommendation, and has just passed a month, and there is no new book list to make the list.
