Chapter 10: Brie is earning points
Brie tucked his black hair together, his eyes were calm, he really didn't fit Slytherin, the people here were too powerful, and they couldn't speak well; Of course, if he hadn't provoked Malfoy before, he wouldn't have gotten into such trouble if he had given these people who wanted to show favor to Malfoy a chance.
"I have to refrain and adapt, I'm an ordinary student......"
Brie thought to herself......
Only by understanding the rules can you be like a fish in water in the rules, and temporary forbearance is just a better time to act.
Or......
Holding the book, Brie's face changed, his pupils spread blood red, his eyes were fierce, and he walked towards the hall.
"The bad guys dare to bully the well-behaved Brie Odeh, and I hope you can keep the last trace of 'goodness!' Don't offend my bottom line. ”
Brie's lack of interest in inconsequential guys only makes him feel like he's wasting his precious time, but if someone touches his scales, then no one can think about it, cowardice has never been Brie's character.
He hates trouble even more.
"As long as I get used to the rules here, you'll all have to be well-behaved!"
Brie pulled out the journal in his crossbody bag and wrote it on the last page—two second-year men blocking the road, two big guys, ugly and mean lion-faced women, little platinum peacocks, horse-faced male prefects, scorpion female prefects, and the few standing, sitting, and sleeping in the dorm room......
"It's a waste to use paper for these inconsequential guys, but you have to write it down."
……
Brie, who had regained his composure, came to the long table in the hall, and when he sat down, there was some breakfast on the table, a little less...
Brie eats a lot, and Betty has been troubled by it; Last night, Brie didn't eat much because she was noticed by too many people and didn't have a bad appetite when she wasn't assigned to her favorite college.
"Hey! Well-behaved little viper..."
"You seem to be distressed..."
Brie's shoulders suddenly appeared with a large hand on each side, well, the Weasley brothers, their trademark red hair.
But is it okay for Gryffindor to run to the Slytherin table?
Brie glanced at the few Slytherins at the table staring coldly, Malfoy smiled at him, as if laughing at him for being stupid, and beside him, Sabini, who was Brie's roommate, had already avoided it when Brie's gaze swept away.
There's something wrong with this guy.
Ignoring the two men, Brie slowed down and gulped down his breakfast.
"Oh, ignore us, I thought you'd be sorted into Gryffindor, we all reserved a place for you."
"It's not fun, but our brother has obviously overslept and can't find him for the time being......"
With a look of pity, the two of them chattered left and right on Brie, but Brie was inexplicably better and ate another sandwich.
"Do you have anything to do, I'll have classes in a moment." Brie wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief and pointed to the textbook "A Thousand Magical Herbs and Mushrooms" on the table.
Fred and George looked at each other, then he pointed to the textbook and said, "Okay, herb class, this is a leisurely class, you can play with mud for a whole class, and of course, there are some nice plants in it that can surprise us." ”
George rubbed Brie's head, causing Brie to glare for a while, and he said, "Oh, okay, but even the best plants are not as interesting as Peeves, and I heard that the Weasley twins are collecting stinky grass, and the twins can make Peeves go somewhere and cause some chaos, which is awesome." ”
Brie looked up, looked straight at them, and said, "Thanks, I'll find a way to bring you some." ”
Fred and George smiled satisfied, then stuffed Brie with a cloth bag without leaving a trace, winked at each other, and left Brie's table.
Brie smiled, a little expectant.
"Brie?"
"Huh? Cedric..."
Alas, he won't hear it.
Cedric blushed and was a little worried, and whispered: "Don't touch the stinky grass with your hands, even with protective gloves, and the kitchen is on the basement level, directly below the auditorium, next to the Hufflepuff common room, you can come to me if you have any trouble." ”
"The kitchen door is a fruit painting, and if you scratch the pear, a doorknob will appear, and you can order food there if you miss the meal."
Brie smiled genuinely at Cedric, "Thank you, brother, thank you, Dade." ”
Cedric smiled as well and waved away, they had heard about Slytherin, Brie seemed to be isolated by them, as friends, they could help, but the rest was up to Brie himself.
When Brie had finished breakfast, he was ready to go to the greenhouse for his schoolwork, and Malfoy and his party got up, obviously coming earlier than Brie, and eating less, but so slowly, the unforgivable drawbacks of aristocratic etiquette, except for the two big men.
"Hmph, sure enough, some people can only be friends with poor redheads and rice buckets in the mud."
Parkinson was still mean, but Brie was in a good mood after eating, and there was no need to waste his little emotion for this kind of guy he didn't need to care about.
And as he was about to leave, he heard Bennet Wilder, the former prefect, laugh at Jennifer Caro at the table, "Look, heartless little Muggle, are you still going to be his mother, Jennifer." ”
Jennifer Caro frowned ungracefully.
"I just did what a prefect should do, and it doesn't matter to me what he does after that."
Bennett Wilder said, "Well, I'll just say you can't see it... Oh well, I'm not going to say it, put away your forks, you're an elegant lady of a pure-blooded family......"
Brie touched his nose, thinking about some of the curses in the Defence Against the Dark Arts textbook he hadn't studied carefully... I don't know if it will be useful to cast it myself, maybe I should go to the library and find some interesting spells, or ask the Weasleys about the two of them.
……
The greenhouse is very spacious, the sunlight shines through the transparent film, it is very comfortable, and there are a lot of plants in the greenhouse, but the plants they need to teach are all placed on the table in the middle, it is a pot of very green shoots, the kind that is so green that it is reflective.
The professor of the herbology class was Professor Pomona Sprout, a chubby lady, very kind, because she stayed in the greenhouse for a long time to take care of these plants, so there were some mud stains on the sleeves of her skirt, but she didn't look sloppy at all, and when she smiled, she aroused everyone's favor the most, even Malfoy and his party would not say anything about her.
"Who's going to tell me what kind of plant this is? Please raise your hand and signal to me..."
Professor Sprout looked at everyone encouragingly.
"Oh, all right, Miss Evan of Ravenclaw."
"It's fluorescent grass, Professor."
Professor Sprout was delighted, adding 1 point to Ravenclaw, and the Eaglets were delighted, especially the girl named Evan, who was even more blushing.
The little snakes were a little disappointed, but their reserve did not reveal this.
Brie said: Is this the glory of Slytherin...... Scores are linked to the House Cup, and House points are awarded for compliments in class, points are deducted for mistakes, and the House Cup is awarded at the end of each grade, and Slytherin has been awarded for six years in a row, and the entire hall is hung with a silver-green color belonging to Slytherin.
Brie liked green and silver, and thought they would be a good match for the hall.
"So, who's going to talk about the role of fluorescent grass..."
"Oh, Mr. Ode, please tell me about it."
"Okay professor." Brie's pure black eyes flashed with inspiration when he was serious, and his confident look was very endearing, and it was obvious that Professor Sprout felt that Brie's little snake was very kind.
"Fluorescent grass can be made into fluorescent agents, or fluorescent oil, which can bring light to an area, and this plant can absorb light during the day, store it in the stems and leaves, and wait until the night to emit a glowing light, so many families want to plant, but this fluorescent grass does not like where people live, this kind of place often brings them death......"
As Brie spoke, Professor Sprout's smile became kinder, and the eaglets around him looked at him with adoration, but the snakes looked strange, Malfoy snorted, Parkinson looked ugly, and Shabini's gaze changed, but he quickly returned to his original indifference.
"Okay, that's great, I have to add 5 points to our Mr. Oude, it's a good narrative, more comprehensive than the textbook, you must have read quite a bit, but I have to add one thing."
Sprout smiled at Brie and said, "If you water the fluorescent grass every day with a full moon, you can avoid their death when they get along with humans, of course, every day, this is what I found before...... Well, because the newspaper section of herbs is always next to the potions, and fluorescent grass is not taken seriously, so this discovery has not appeared in some related reports, but you need to make a note of this as well, maybe I will take the final exam. ”
……
Sprout's class was wonderful, the first class was easy, and then Brie successively received 4 house points, because the extra points are generally one point at a time, and there is a limit to the number of class points for each professor, and Brie has done his best.
"Tsk, Mr. Oude playing with mud." Malfoy and his companions walked past Brie and out of the greenhouse, and the other snakes left in disregard, though Brie sensed that the men were much less hostile.
"Good start." But some people still can't be forgiven.
Brie touched his crossbody bag, which contained textbooks and diaries, as well as some stinky grass that Brie secretly took away from the bag during recess, because the Weasley brothers had forbidden to approach the greenhouse, and they were also stared at by Professor Sprout during class, so it was difficult for them to get enough stinky grass, and now Brie's crossbody bag was heavy, which made Brie very happy.
"Let's go to the library, I'll give it to them when I meet Weasley, I don't know what they want to do with this."
The library was on the second floor of Hogwarts, and the abundance of books here made Brie even more excited, and he could finally spend a day at the second-hand bookstore for so long.
