This hectic life continues until Halloween.

Kyle wakes up to the smell of a sweet and tantalizing roasted pumpkin wafting through the hallway, and to make matters worse, Harris announces in the common room that the following week's Quidditch training has been cancelled.

He thought that the previous training had been a bit heavy, and that Kyle and another new player had been doing perfectly, so he decided to give everyone a day off before the official game.

Kyle is naturally happy with Harris's decision, which means he can finally relax a little next week.

And I don't know if it's to cater to Halloween, even there are a lot of pumpkins in the classroom.

In the morning Transfiguration class, Professor McGonagall used pumpkins as props for the young wizards to try to transform them.

Her request today is very simple, she can do anything, as long as it is not a pumpkin in the end.

Kyle was still the first to do it, turning the pumpkin into a stone statue at the entrance to the castle.

Of course, it's a scaled-down version.

The stone statue took two slow steps on the table, and then waved the giant sword in his hand, and smashed the pumpkin on Connor's table in half in one fell swoop, and the pumpkin seeds collapsed everywhere.

Connor was so angry that she wiped the pumpkin seeds off her face and glared at Kyle with hatred, a little white tooth creaking that she seemed to pounce on him and bite him at any moment.

"Mistakes, mistakes, it's an accident!" Kyle hurriedly apologized.

He had wanted to cut the pumpkin open, but he had forgotten that the sword was just a conjugation of him.

Professor McGonagall gave a rare smile and teased, "Hufflepuff deducted one point for your ungentlemanly behavior, don't be so reckless next time, and it's dangerous to do so." ”

"I see, Professor." Kyle whispered.

Professor McGonagall nodded, she glanced at the lifelike stone statue, and continued, "Excellent Transfiguration, Hufflepuff plus eleven points. ”

Because there are no fixed deformation requirements, it is much simpler than usual, so many people have completed the requirements.

By the end of the lesson, the Transfiguration classroom had become a utility room, with stakes, buckets, and pillows...... There's everything.

Some of the remaining people had only completed half of the requirements, and the things they conjured still had the characteristics of pumpkins.

For example, Ryan, although he turned the pumpkin into the shape of a Quaffle, the surface of the ball is still yellow, and it looks like he has put a pumpkin skin on the Quaffle.

However, Professor McGonagall still counted him passing.

As for the ones who had just made a few holes in the pumpkins but had forced themselves to be jack-o'-lanterns, Professor McGonagall was not polite at all, and directly increased the length of their assignments from one foot to three feet.

You can hand in a blank paper if you send a score question, and you won't lose money if you are fined.

Herbal medicine class in the afternoon.

Before the lecture, Professor Sprout placed a pot of novel plants that had not been seen in the greenhouse on a stool at the front.

"Armor pumpkin!"

Professor Sprout smiled and said, "Does anyone know what it is?" ”

Probably knowing that the little wizards couldn't answer, Professor Sprout glanced directly at Kyle.

"Armor pumpkins, also known as iron pumpkins, are hard and often used as alchemical materials. Vines can also be paired with gill sac grass to make a potion that allows people to breathe underwater. ”

"Very good, Hufflepuff plus ten!" Professor Sprout said happily.

"Armor pumpkins are a rare and magical plant, and because they are so hard, they grow in a strange way.

They have to shed their shells every time they grow around. ”

She gestured to the flower pot in front of her.

Only then did the crowd notice that there was a yellow pumpkin skin in the shape of a bracer.

"Does anyone know what this shell is for?"

Kyle raised his hand, "People usually put these shells on some precious plants to protect them from goblins or other creatures.

This is also where the name of the armor pumpkin comes from. ”

"Exactly, Hufflepuff plus ten points."

Professor Sprout said, "The shell of the armor pumpkin is the best guard for those fragile plants, and even an adult fire dragon will have a hard time biting it. ”

There was silence in the greenhouse, and the little wizards looked at the unsightly pumpkin shell with some disbelief.

In their hearts, the fire dragon can be said to be one of the most terrifying and powerful magical creatures.

Even the fact that the fire dragon can't bite it is enough to show how hard it is.

The word "armor" really lives up to its name.

"Then move on to the class now."

Professor Sprout clapped his hands, drawing everyone's eyes to it, "Also, I've decided to give this pumpkin shell as a prize to the student who did the best in this class." ”

Everyone subconsciously looked at Kyle.

Judging by Kyle's performance just now, it's almost impossible for anyone to surpass him.

Professor Sprout seemed to have guessed everyone's thoughts, and she smiled and said, "I must warn you that this lesson hasn't started yet, and what I just said is just an introduction to the armor pumpkin, not the content of the class." ”

With that, she walked around the stool and came to a nearby row of stakes.

"Last week we learned how to fertilize the Umbrella fungus, and today we're going to learn how to collect their powder......

You probably haven't forgotten that the Umbrella Jumpers are very afraid of noise, and they have to be quiet enough to approach them. ”

Everyone nodded silently.

Everyone wanted the prize, and they crouched beside the stakes, carefully stretching out the brushes in their hands, and they didn't even dare to breathe.

By the time the class was over, Professor Sprout was satisfied, she had never had such an easy class.

No one poked at the plants, no one tried to touch the poisonous tentacles, everyone was serious, and the problems they had encountered the most before were all gone in this lesson.

"Today is the best Halloween."

A happy Professor Sprout added two points to each house and rewarded Kyle with the shell of the armor pumpkin as agreed before class.

Kyle used a whirlwind sweep that was weakened many times over, and completed the collection half a lesson early.

After the herbal medicine class, everyone began to leave the greenhouse in an orderly manner.

Kyle, who walked to the door, turned his head and took one last look at the pot of armor pumpkins in the corner before reluctantly leaving.

He felt that the plant would be a good neighbor for the brussels sprouts, and that it would be nice to get some back and be their companion if he could.

But it's a pity that there is only one pot here, and Professor Sprout is very strict, and he can't find a suitable opportunity to start after a class.
