After being separated from Professor Horace Slughorn, Matthew Wakefield began to head to the greenhouse for classes.

And in the next herbal medicine class, Professor Pomona Sprout told everyone an exciting news -

That is, after more than a month of hard work, the pollination of Flor flowers has been basically completed.

It will be at least a few months before they are fully developed...... But that at least meant that they didn't have to be cared for every day, and they didn't have to get up close and personal with the poisonous pollen and the venom-containing stingers in every herb class......

After all, wearing a full four layers of thick masks on his face is really too tormenting.

And if you don't pay attention, you will be stabbed by those stingers, and you will have to spend a difficult night in the school hospital.

Everyone couldn't help but cheer.

They followed Professor Sprout and left the third greenhouse, returning to the first greenhouse, which consisted only of ordinary plants.

They took off their masks and dragon skin gloves one after another, and looked at the different types of mushrooms in the greenhouse, and everyone felt a sense of intimacy inexplicably.

Matthew was picking mushrooms while thinking back to Slughorn's previous actions—

I have to say that he showed too many doubts...... As Miss Agnes Lestrange had reminded, the Slytherin Dean was most likely a "dangerous man".

"Wakefield!" Professor Pomona Sprout snapped, interrupting Matthew's thoughts.

She walked over and looked at the mushroom in Matthew's hand, "I should have taught you last semester...... When picking mushrooms, be careful to dig them out together with the entire bottom end, otherwise they will break and be easily infected with bacteria, and the storage time will be relatively short...... Oh my God, have you all forgotten?"

"I'm sorry, Professor......" Matthew quickly apologized.

Then he lowered his head and began to concentrate on picking mushrooms.

......

The weekend was fast approaching.

In the last Potions class on Friday afternoon, the students of Gryffindor and Slytherin gathered in the basement classroom.

The class began as usual, with twenty or so cauldrons erected between the wooden tables, on which were placed brass scales and jars of ingredients. However, before the class began, Professor Slughorn approached Matthew again and talked to him about the Sunday night dinner.

The content of this lesson is a potion called a "swelling agent".

Its effect is to make the part of the wizard's body that touches it inflate rapidly like a balloon until it rises several times...... To be honest, Matthew really couldn't figure out what the use of this potion was.

Professor Slughorn walked back and forth through the smoke and smoke, making comments on the students' work from time to time.

Matthew grinds dried nettles and puffer fish eyes while instructing his partner (or assistant) Neville to cook the bat's spleen...... the process of preparing the "swelling agent" is a bit troublesome, but the recipe is actually quite simple.

Ten minutes later, Matthew suddenly realized that he had boiled a "swelling agent", which was slightly diluted, and it looked like clear soup and fresh water.

Maybe there was some mistake before, which is quite rare for Matthew in the past.

At the same time, because Matthew's mind at this time was focused on more important things.

He's thinking about it...... Do you want to find an opportunity to overturn the crucible and get some "swelling agent" on your body...... Then, under the pretext of being hospitalized in the school hospital, he was released again at the slug dinner in Slughorn on Sunday.

But if you do that, it seems a little too deliberate and obvious.

And it's hard to make a difference...... After all, Madam Pomfrey's medical skills are clear to everyone...... Dip some "swelling agent", such a small problem, maybe you don't need to spend the night in the school hospital, it can be completely solved in a few hours.

What's more, as described in Magic Potions and Potions, the injured skin can be very, very painful when it comes to the "swelling agent......

"Neville, Matthew......" Just then, Slughorn walked around the crowd and walked over to them.

Looking at the "clear soup and fresh water" in the crucible, Slughorn opened his mouth in some surprise: "You guys shouldn't have taken care of the bat spleen finely......

Neville was stunned for a moment, then quickly bent down and removed the cauldron from the fire, apologizing to Professor Slughorn repeatedly:

"I'm so sorry...... I forgot ......"

"It seems that even the smartest little ones have their heels sometimes......" Professor Slughorn didn't blame or criticize them, but said with a grin:

"Mr. Wakefield, don't worry about anything......"

"I see, Professor. Matthew nodded hurriedly.

......

The semester is getting tighter.

As they exchanged a pot of the prepared cauldron for Professor Slughorn. This Potions lesson also means it's over.

When Matthew and Neville leave the Potions classroom...... Suddenly, they were surprised to find that a large number of students of all grades began to run up the stairs to the upper floor.

Did something happen?

Finally seeing a familiar face, Matthew hurriedly called out to her, "Miss Crivat, may I ask, what happened?"

"It's over there in the principal's office," Penelo Crivat replied, "and it's said that something is going on over there, someone is trying to break into the principal's office, and it even seems to have caused some damage." ”

"Let's go over and have a look," Matthew said busily.

However, when Matthew arrived on the eighth floor of the castle, he found it crowded.

There were a lot of students from all grades, and they were talking very eagerly

Matthew struggled to squeeze out of the way, and after squeezing through the crowd, he suddenly understood why someone would say, "There was an accident!"

In reality, the principal's office doesn't seem to have much to lose...... But the ugly "winged beast" outside the office was very miserable, as if it had been brutally destroyed.

"Professor Rozier is here," said somebody, and everyone hurried to get out of the way.

Headmaster Waita Rozier didn't look surprised, and didn't even care if anyone had broken in...... In a sense, she was almost prepared......

Matthew frowned.

"Did the fugitives from Azkaban do it?"

"What are the Aurors doing......

"Those fugitives actually infiltrated Hogwarts ......"

The crowd around was discussing curiously.

Matthew didn't stay long, and soon he turned around and returned to the Slytherin common room.
