Drinking black tea calmly at Hogwarts

Chapter 35 Offended the professor and you still want to run?



On the first day of class, students are looking at their schedules while eating breakfast in the cafeteria.

Mrs. Weasley's Howler letter arrived as expected.

Mrs. Weasley's lion's roar skill, coupled with the power bonus of the roar letter, made the entire Hogwarts dining hall tremble, and even the dust on the ceiling was shaken off.

Zhang Xu complained about the dead corner of hygiene at Hogwarts, and at the same time popped out his wand and created a gust of wind to blow the dust out of the door.

Zhang Xu felt that Harry and Ron deserved it.

On the way to the cafeteria this morning, Zhang Xu ran into Harry and Harry. Zhang Xu asked Harry, why didn't you let your owl send a letter to inform the school, and let Harry and Ron run away covering their faces.

Today's first class is Transfiguration.

Zhang Xu walked into the classroom tremblingly, and hid in the last row of the classroom, but he found that Professor McGonagall's eyes were fixed on him all the time.

Zhang Xu knew that Professor McGonagall was a fair and strict educator. She was strict with others as well as herself. She would not retaliate against students who offended her for her own benefit.

But when Professor McGonagall also has a temper, when someone like her digs a hole for you dignifiedly, you still consciously jump in and have fun.

The content of today's Transfiguration class is more difficult than in the past, or every Transfiguration class is more difficult than the last one.

Today's lesson is about turning a beetle into a button.

Professor McGonagall spoke seriously on the podium, and Zhang Xu listened carefully in his seat.

The Transfiguration class is the one that Zhang Xu takes most seriously. It is not because he offended the teacher and dare not make mistakes, nor is it because the difficulty is too high and he cannot keep up with the progress if he is not serious. It is because Zhang Xu has a dream of transforming sheep in his heart. .

People who travel through rebirth usually have some past life plots.

For example, Zhang Xu's most slick skill now is the lighting technique, and his favorite thing in battle is the calm fireball, and the sheep-changing technique is his next goal.

There are also spells such as Frost Aura, Flame Aura, and Chain Lightning that are also being studied.

Although there are similar spells in this world, it's not as interesting as the ones I researched.

When it came time to practice, Zhang Xu spent a few minutes turning the beetle into a flat button with four holes in the middle.

Zhang Xu looked at the bare buttons in front of him, and thought for a while to turn them into the brass buttons on jeans.

Then, Zhang Xu turned it into a copper button with the Hogwarts school emblem printed on it again.

"Excellent performance as always, Mr. Zhang."

At this moment, Professor McGonagall's voice came to Zhang Xu's side.

Listening to Professor McGonagall's cold voice, Zhang Xu felt that she meant something.

"I think you should make it a little more difficult, try this."

As soon as Professor McGonagall finished speaking, a small dried fish landed in front of Zhang Xu.

Zhang Xu's head twitched, thinking that if he ate this small dried fish, it would count as an indirect kiss with Professor McGonagall. Then he turned the small dried fish in front of him into a hellokitty-shaped button.

Zhang Xu didn't know how to survive the Transfiguration class. He found himself walking further and further down a road called death.

Today's second class is herbal medicine class, with students from Snake Academy.

Zhang

Xu and his classmates left the castle and walked across the vegetable field to the greenhouse.

Zhang Xu is very familiar with this route, because when he cooks hot pot at night, he has to prepare some side dishes. It is not the greenhouse where all kinds of magical plants are cultivated, but the vegetable garden of a group of curious little wizards.

"Go to the third greenhouse today," said Professor Sprout, who had a bandage on his arm.

After the students arrived in the third conservatory, Professor Sprout stood behind a bench in the middle of the conservatory.Earmuffs of different colors are placed on the stool.

Professor Sprout asked the students: "We are going to repot the Mandrake today. Now, who can tell me what properties the Mandrake has?"

Zhang Xu was the first to raise his hand, he didn't want to miss the chance to score points for the academy.

"Mandrake, also called Mandrake root, its root is a powerful restorative, an important part of most antidotes, often used to restore deformed or enchanted people to original state."

"At the same time, the leaves of Mandrake also have medicinal value. It has a strong hallucinogenic effect, and if taken in a small amount, it has a sleeping effect. Soak the leaves of Mandrake in high-strength alcohol for more than half an hour. After soaking the medicinal ingredients in the mandrake, the leaves of the mandrake are a very refreshing vegetable, which is very suitable for salad or boiled to eat.”

"Digging mandrakes is a very dangerous job, because hearing the cry of the mandrake can kill people. Therefore, when digging mandrakes, one method is that people have to plug their ears, Another method is to prevent the Mandrake from crying, for example, once you pull out the head of the Mandrake, use a knife to cut off the head of the Mandrake immediately before it cries, so that the headless Naturally, the mandrake can't cry."

"After dug out, there is a difference between the mandrake roots that have cried and those that have not. The mandrake roots that have not been wept are cut off at the beginning. It has an astringent taste. The flesh of the cried mandrake root is tender and white after peeling off the skin, without any astringent taste, and very refreshing.”

Professor Sprout: ¬¬

Zhang Xu:  ̄ー ̄

Professor Sprout: "The answer is perfect, and I will add [-] points. However, I still want to remind you, Mr. Zhang, that herbs are not vegetables, and I don't want you to get them because of Mandrake omelet rice and other reasons. He was taken to St Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Illness."

Zhang Xu: "I will pay attention, Professor Sprout."

After Professor Sprout demonstrated to the students how to repot the Mandrake, the next step is for the students to operate.

Mandrakes don't want to be pulled out of the soil, and they don't want to be stuffed back.They twisted their bodies, kicked their feet wildly, waved their small pointed fists, and gnashed their teeth.

But their IQ is flawed, and it can be solved with a little trick.

When you loosen the soil around the mandrake and lift it up by the leaves on its head, they will burrow down by themselves.At this time, you only need to press it down gently, and it will think that you want to stuff it into the soil, and will crawl out by itself.

The same is true when planting a mandrake in a pot, first stuff a part of the grass root into the soil, and then pretend to pull it out, so that the mandrake will burrow into the soil by itself.

I don’t know who invented this trick, but those students who often go to the kitchen to eat hot pot at night know that, because there is no fresh mandrake root in the kitchen warehouse, if you want to eat it, you have to bring it yourself.If Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry hadn't made a lot of money last year to expand the greenhouse, otherwise these students would have eaten half of the herbal medicine class to the point where there were no textbooks available.

Professor Sprout saw that many students in the two colleges had mastered this skill, and suddenly felt very tired and wanted to retire.
