Hogwarts Outsider Chapter 123: Herb Lesson

The latest website: With the departure of "Professor Snape", Matthew also made three mistakes and finished his breakfast.

Then he glanced at the timetable. The first class this morning was Herbalism, which Slytherin had with the Hufflepuffs.

Matthew, Malfoy, Nott, Crabbe, and Goyle walked out of the castle together. They walked through the garden in the direction of the greenhouse.

As they approached the greenhouse, they saw many students waiting at the door of the greenhouse.

Just when they were about to join in, a familiar figure emerged from the greenhouse.

It was Professor Horace Slughorn, Potions teacher and Head of Slytherin House, holding a large handful of leaves in his arms.

"Oh, Matthew, and Draco..." Slughorn shouted eagerly when he saw the students standing here.

At the same time, he automatically ignored Nott, Crabbe and Goyle.

"Good morning, Professor Slughorn!" Matthew and Malfoy said in unison.

"Yeah, it's a good morning." Slughorn seemed in a good mood: "It's so fresh air, it's morning in a day, isn't it... Maybe I'm going to test you, guess what? Guess what this is?"

While speaking, he waved the large handful of leaves in his hand.

Matthew leaned over and looked at it carefully for a while: "It's swift grass, right?"

"Very correct!" Slughorn nodded with great satisfaction: "Most authorities believe that this medicine works best when picked in the early morning. Prof. Anna Sprout) made them grow to perfection... used in 3rd grade class, I think 3rd graders get a few slices each and have some left over in case someone overcooks... ...this time next year, you will use it too!"

"I'm looking forward to it, Professor."

"Okay, I have to go to the office to deal with them... By the way, Matthew, Draco..." Professor Slughorn had already turned around, and then he suddenly remembered something One thing, "By the way, this Sunday night, the party at the Slug Club will be held again, don't you forget..."

"...Be sure to attend on time!" As he walked further and further away, his voice became smaller and smaller.

The Slug Club is a club founded by Professor Slughorn himself, which only accepts students he admires, and both Matthew and Malfoy are members of it.

They hold a small party every week, or every two weeks, usually on weekends.

However, in October last year, after a party, two Slytherin members of the Slug Club were attacked on their way back to the Slytherin common room from Slughorn's office late at night... Affected by this accident, the gathering of the Slug Club was temporarily suspended.

Until the end of the semester, even though the culprit of the attack had escaped, Professor Slughorn did not recover.

But now that the new semester has begun, the impact of those attacks half a year ago has also been reduced to a minimum.

So, the party started again.

…

Professor Slughorn gradually disappeared from their field of vision.

"Children, come in!" Then, Professor Sprout's voice came from the greenhouse.

The students of Slytherin and Hufflepuff walked in quickly.

Professor Pomona Sprout is a stocky witch with a patched hat on her gray hair. She looked a little scruffy, with a lot of dirt on her clothes and under her nails, but she was known to be a kind teacher.

"Let's go to the third greenhouse today!" She said happily.

The students were very interested in discussing that they had only been to the first and second greenhouses before...the plants in the third greenhouse are more interesting and more dangerous.

Professor Sprout took a large key from his belt and opened the door. Matthew took a step forward, and immediately smelled the smell of damp soil and manure, mixed with some faint scent of flowers.

The aroma was slightly intoxicating, and Matthew couldn't help feeling a little dizzy... His expression changed, and he took a few steps back and exited the greenhouse.

He wasn't the only one who had such a reaction. The other students who stepped into the greenhouse were unsteady in their steps... There were even a few of them who looked as if they were drunk, and their faces were flushed.

"Stand back, kids, all back!" Professor Sprout shouted excitedly, waving at them at the same time: "I didn't allow you to come in!"

Hearing Professor Sprout's words, they all exited the third greenhouse immediately.

After taking a few breaths of fresh air, Matthew felt much better.

…

Professor Sprout also came out, holding a lot of masks, large and small, in her hand.

She said, "I'm not going to pollinate flores today. Now, who can tell me what are the characteristics of flores?"

Matthew had already guessed what the plants in the greenhouse were, but before he raised his hand, the other little hand was already raised high.

"Very well, Miss Lestrange!"

Agnes Lestrange stood up, and she said very naturally: "Flor flower, also known as tracking flower; mature Flor flower, its top petals and rhizomes are very close Deep connection... Even if it has been out of the body for a while, the rhizome will still point in the direction of the petals..."

"... so you can put fresh flore petals next to something important, and if they are stolen, they can be easily tracked down using the flor rhizome!"

"Well said ~IndoMTL.com~ girl," Professor Sprout nodded in satisfaction, motioning for her to sit down, "At the same time, flor is a very dangerous herb, who Do you know why?"

Agnes seemed to hesitate for a moment, but Matthew had already raised his hand first.

"Mr. Wakefield, tell me."

"Its pollen is highly poisonous." Matthew replied succinctly: "It is enough to kill people."

"That's right!" Professor Sprout nodded, her voice was very calm: "The pollen of the Flor flower is highly poisonous, inhaling too much can even be fatal...Of course, what we want today The flors you came into contact with are very young; but if you inhale their pollen, you will be unconscious for at least a few hours. I don't think any of you want to miss the first day of school!"

Then, she distributed the masks in her hands to the students.

"Remember, everyone must wear at least four layers of masks, don't be lazy, and don't take chances..." she ordered loudly.
