Chapter 32: A Quiet Life (Ask for Recommendations)
Theodore Noether's second hospitalization did not cause much of a stir at Hogwarts.
On the one hand, the vast majority of students in other colleges are unaware of this.
On the other hand, the Slytherin students who knew about it agreed with Madam Pomfrey's explanation. It is believed that Noether just had such an accident because he did not use "following the doctor's advice".
And as time went on, the impact of the previous attack began to wane.
Everyone slowly forgot about it, and Hogwarts returned to peace.
The usual life continues, except for the Slytherin boys' dormitory, which is once again home to Matthew Wakefield.
It's just that Matthew hasn't forgotten the "it's still here" that Noether said before he fainted.
He searched the entire dormitory very carefully, but found nothing.
For the next few days, the book still didn't appear.
Despite Knott's "it's still here", Matthew guessed it was still in his dorm.
However, since it refused to show up for a long time, Matthew would not intimidate himself, and still faced his new life calmly.
......
The second week of the course was also quite smooth.
In the herbology class, Professor Sprout began to take them into the greenhouse, although it was the first greenhouse with the least danger to plants.
The students were excited at first, but when they entered the greenhouse, they were disappointed to find that there were only a variety of mushrooms inside.
Looking at everyone's not eagerly gaze, Professor Sprout said to them earnestly:
"When you encounter an unfamiliar plant, it is the first and most important thing to determine whether they are a threat to you...... And by getting acquainted with and discerning the various types of mushrooms, you will have a good foundation for your future judgments. After all, it's obvious whether mushrooms are a threat or not, and as long as you don't eat them, they won't hurt you. ”
Then, Professor Sprout drew a pie with them: "Starting next semester, I will introduce you to more magical plants, and learn about their habits and appearance...... By Year 2, you'll be in the third greenhouse, where you'll really get in touch with the dangerous magical plants. ”
In this way, everyone's enthusiasm in the herbal medicine class is slightly higher.
In Charms class, it's about "hovering spells".
It's not a simple spell, at least for most students.
However, Matthew mastered it relatively quickly.
Aside from Hermione Granger of Ravenclaw, he was the second student in the class to successfully complete the spell.
It's just that after mastering the hovering spell, Matthew can be sure that this spell alone will never send an adult wizard to the sky after a slide.
That would require at least a more advanced "levitation charm" to be able to do so.
In the second Potions class of the semester, Professor Slughorn gave Matthew a thumbs up several times, and praised him at the end.
Moreover, he also gave Matthew Wakefield and Neville Longbottom the pot of "swelling potion" prepared together, which was very high.
Matthew speculated that it might have something to do with Draco Malfoy's absence from the classroom because of the accident.
Harry Evans' performance is still terrible, he has made many mistakes, and finally he is directly criticized by Professor Slughorn as a "model".
After Professor Slughorn announced the end of class, he fled the Potions classroom in shame, leaving his companion Ronald Weasley alone to clean up the cauldron.
The Defence Against the Dark Arts class is still extremely strict.
Professor Rozier's lesson no longer disrupted the order of the textbook's table of contents, but began to start all over again—
What they learn is the "Petrification Spell".
This is the simplest and most useful defensive spell, and it is one of the few defensive spells that can be mastered by first-year students.
Professor Rozier did not allow them to practice in this class.
Instead, they were required to write down all the techniques for using the petrification charm, as well as the precautions.
And at the end of class, she once again assigned a two-foot-long paper.
......
The second week of Hogwarts was over.
Matthew Wakefield only felt that he had become familiar with life at Hogwarts and was accustomed to it.
"Blood thicker than blood!" on Friday night, after calling out the password and entering the Slytherin common room—
Matthew was on the bulletin board and saw the new password for the next two weeks:
"Noble ambition!"
After jotting it down in his notebook, he went into his bedroom.
However, Matthew, who had just entered the dormitory, suddenly realized that something was wrong-
In the dark bedroom, something glows!
He walked over with small steps, only to find the parchment of "after-school practice".
There was a faint green glow on it, as a bit of content had already appeared:
"Professor Sivanos Kettleborn,
This Saturday, at half past four in the morning,
A hut on the edge of the Forbidden Forest,
Don't be late!"
