Chapter 534: Herbal Medicine Lesson, Returning to the Original Owner
Kyle didn't know if his words would be useful to Hermione, but at least for now, it seemed that she had listened.
"You've done a good thing." Hagrid said, "Hermione wanted me to join her, but I refused.
"I don't think there's going to be any way she's going to get all the house-elves to ask for pay, but she's obviously not listening."
"Oh, Hagrid, I didn't notice ......" Kyle looked at his haggard look and the strong smell of alcohol on his body, and couldn't help but say, "How much alcohol have you drunk." ”
"Oh, no." Hagrid explained, "I didn't drink, I just accidentally spilled the whiskey for Rune Horse. ”
"I hope so." Kyle said, "School is coming up, don't forget you're still a professor, you need to cheer up." ”
Who knew that after hearing Kyle say this, Hagrid was even more lost.
"I probably won't be able to be a professor anymore...... Parents won't agree, just like Lupin did back then, I just hope Dumbledore keeps my position as Warden of the Hunting Grounds, and doesn't kick me out of Hogwarts. ”
"Looks like you didn't listen to what we said either." Kyle shook his head, "Wait another day, after the Christmas holidays, there should be a new edition of the Daily Prophet, and you can check it out then, there should be a surprise." ”
"I don't want to see it." Hagrid looked a little excited, "I dare say there must still be the article in the newspaper that the woman accused me, I really don't want to see those harsh words." ”
"Trust me Hagrid, this time is different, there are surprises." Kyle patted Hagrid's arm before returning to the castle with Connor.
School starts tomorrow, and they need to return the books they borrowed to write their homework first.
While in the library, Kyle also sees Hermione, where she sits with a thick stack of books on the table next to her.
At the top are two thick tomes...... "History of Medieval Goblins" and "House-Elves, Helpers or Enemies".
That's a good thing, proof that Hermione really listened.
Kyle didn't bother her either, and left after returning the book.
The next day.
Probably because so many people stayed on campus for Christmas, although the school started, everyone did not feel the slightest difference, and the auditorium was still as lively as ever.
The field was still covered with a thick layer of snow, but the greenhouse was as hot as in June, and the windows were covered with a thin layer of water droplets, which fell and then condensed into ice picks.
"Wear dragon skin gloves and concentrate, you must not relax in this class."
Professor Sprout said, pointing to a long flower pot on the middle table and said, "Brussels bite, I'm sure you'd all seen it in first grade, but you didn't learn that back then."
"I have to remind you again that brussels sprouts are a very dangerous plant, quite dangerous."
As she spoke, she took out a thick wooden stick and gently tapped the pot of the flower-biting cabbage.
Under everyone's gaze, the originally quiet biting kale suddenly opened its big mouth full of sharp teeth, and crushed the wooden stick like eating a biscuit.
Everyone subconsciously took a step back and clung to the walls of the greenhouse.
For most people, this is the first time they have intuitively felt the dangers of herbal medicine classes.
Although I've learned a lot about poisonous plants, such as belladonna and fanged geraniums, they don't compare to the biting kale in front of you in terms of visual impact.
As long as I think of the picture of the wooden stick being bitten just now, some of the people who are relatively small are so timid that their hands and legs can't help but tremble, and they are reluctant to approach.
"Don't worry, be bold." "I deliberately picked the Brussels sprouts that weren't fully ripe, and they would be fine with dragonskin gloves...... And even in exceptional circumstances, Madam Pomfrey can solve the problem.
"Hurry up, all go forward, we have to change the soil for the biting kale today, it's not okay to be so far away."
At the urging of Professor Sprout, everyone cautiously moved closer.
"Look at Kyle, he's not afraid at all." At this point, Professor Sprout suddenly said, "Oh, that's it, one foot, that's just the right distance, it's safe, and it's good to get the job done, Hufflepuff plus five points." ”
Everyone immediately looked over, but quickly withdrew their gaze...... Warriors, there's nothing strange about that.
When everyone was at the table, Professor Sprout clapped his hands and began to demonstrate how to change the soil in the pot without alarming the biting kale.
The students watched very carefully, for fear of missing the slightest detail.
Then it came to the specific operation, which was still the same, a group of four, because the task was more difficult this time, so Professor Sprout also said that as long as four people completed a soil change work together, it would be fine.
There was no doubt that Kyle, Connor, Mikel, and Ryan were the first to complete the set, and it took less than ten minutes.
"It's incredible." Professor Sprout walked over and looked at the new soil in the pot, and the quiet Brussels sprouts as if they were asleep, and exclaimed, "It's perfect the first time, and it's so fast...... Kyle, you really have the potential to become an amazing botanist. ”
"It's nothing, practice makes perfect...... Kyle said, but quickly changed his tune, "Well, I mean, I just jotted down all the steps and followed them exactly." ”
"Of course, that's what I mean."
Professor Sprout laughed, "But it's not just about memorizing the steps, it's also about being calm enough and having a steady hand, so that the brussels bites don't notice anything unusual the whole time, which is very difficult." ”
"Maybe I'm lucky." Kyle laughs, "I just happened to come across a slower-reacting brussel sprout." ”
Connor turned her head to the side and covered her mouth with her hand to keep herself from laughing.
Kyle is lucky, he has a large slice of Brussels sprouts in his box, almost a few hundred of them, isn't it easy to change them with soil?
Professor Sprout didn't know any of this, though, and as a reward, she gave Hufflepuff another ten.
It was as if a whole day had passed, and the bell finally rang for the end of class, and everyone took off their scratched dragon skin gloves and rushed out of the greenhouse impatiently.
Kyle walked at the back, and while Professor Sprout kept order, he secretly pulled two seeds out of his pocket and threw them into a nearby pot.
Well...... The seeds taken in the first grade, although it took a long time, can be regarded as returning to their original owners.
"I wish I hadn't learned anything so dangerous in the next class."
When Kyle catches up with Connor, someone is still complaining, "Did you hear the sound of that cabbage biting on the glove...... Merlin, my hands were covered in sweat. ”
"I want to, too, but Professor Sprout said that the Brussels Sprout course lasts a month." A Gryffindor student sighed.
"Really? When did the professor say that. ”
"At the end of class, didn't you hear that?"
"No ......"
Then there was a series of sighs.
Back at the castle, Kyle had just reached the foyer when he saw a tall figure.
Hagrid was talking to Sirius, and even more rarely, he was still smiling.
After noticing Kyle, Hagrid immediately walked over.
"You can't imagine what's going on." He spread out a newspaper, pointed to an article on the front page, and said, "That man...... Rita Skeeter, she actually said nice things for me. ”
"Really?" Kyle subconsciously glanced at the newspaper, which still showed Hagrid's picture of him taking care of an injured cat.
[Is the half-blood giant real or fake, and what is hidden behind his fierce appearance. 】
"It's unbelievable, I never thought of it anyway, the giant was bandaging the cat's hind legs instead of eating it.
In addition, similar situations have happened many times.
"I had a lot of help from Hagrid when I was in school, he was a warm-hearted guy and the best game keeper." Here's what one person who has been out of school for five years.
And letters like this are still being sent.
Even the savior, Harry Potter, once said in public, "We don't care if he's a half-blood giant or not." ”
This makes one wonder if Rubeus Hagrid, a man of large size and fierce appearance, is really a half-blood giant, or if he is simply a big skeleton......
Kyle didn't look at it after that.
I have to admit that Rita Skeeter still has some skills, although it is a contradictory article, but it is quite reasonable when you read it.
