Hogwarts Raven's Claw

Chapter 115 Herbal Medicine Class
After enjoying a short lunch break, Mike and Franklin went to the greenhouse where the Herbology class was held. This afternoon's Herbology class was taught by Ravenclaw and Gryffindor together. Mike thought that the three saviors would miss this class, but when Mike arrived at the greenhouse, he found Ron and Hermione fiddling with a strange plant in the greenhouse.

"What's going on? Didn't you follow Harry to see Dumbledore?" Mike asked.

"Yes, in fact Dumbledore did agree to Harry's request, and even personally took him to the homes of those seniors." Hermione said with a bitter face, "However, Headmaster Dumbledore rejected our request to apologize together, saying that he was afraid that it would affect our studies."

Mike looked at Ron, who was screaming in pain after his finger was bitten by the strange plant, and said speechlessly: "Well, maybe you should study herbology properly."

"What do you mean?" Hermione was furious. "My Herbology score last year was much higher than yours! Not only Herbology, but also History of Magic, Transfiguration and so on. My scores were much higher than yours! You are the one who should study hard!"

"Uh, you heard me wrong. I was talking about Ron, not you." Mike waved his hands and explained, "Take a good look at him."

Hermione turned her head to look at Ron, and seeing that Ron was in so much pain that tears were about to flow, she couldn't help but sigh, and used her wand to conjure a feather to lightly tickle the strange plant. The plant seemed to be very ticklish, and it sneezed when the feather tickled it, and directly spit out Ron's finger.

Mike took this opportunity to run away. He knew Hermione too well. She could keep nagging you for a whole day. Seeing Hermione start to teach Ron about the strange plant, Mike breathed a sigh of relief and silently mourned for Ron for three seconds.

At this time, Professor Sprout also walked out of the botanical garden behind the greenhouse and announced the official start of the Herbology class.

Professor Sprout is a kind lady. She and Snape are like two extremes, one is warm like the sun, and the other is cold like ice.

Therefore, although Professor Sprout does not have much power in Hogwarts, he is the most popular, especially among the Muggle-blooded wizards in Hufflepuff, who treat Sprout as their own relative and elder.

The students who were playing and joking in the greenhouse hurried back to their seats when they saw Professor Sprout appear.

Professor Sprout greeted everyone with a smile, walked to the strange plant, raised it and said, "Good afternoon, everyone. Are you satisfied with your lunch today? That is a recipe invented by Ms. Hufflepuff."

Everyone said yes.

"The plant we are going to study today is the York Flytrap I have in my hand. They are very similar to the common flytrap in the Muggle world. They also use nectar and fragrance to attract prey, and finally eat the prey when it enters the trap.

But the difference is that the York Flytrap can grow up to more than 3 meters tall, which means that humans and all animals of similar size to humans are also on the menu of these little creatures. The content of our class today is to feed these little creatures.

It is worth noting that these York Flytraps are also poisonous, and their toxins have a strong paralyzing effect. You must wear dragon leather gloves when feeding them to prevent being bitten by them. "

Sprout looked around and saw Ron, who was paralyzed and lying on the ground drooling.

"Well, it seems you already know about this."

Professor Sprout smiled and shook his head, then he pulled out a beaker-shaped cup from a box nearby and poured the pale yellow liquid into Ron's open mouth.

The medicine soon began to take effect. Ron struggled to get up from the ground, brushed off the dirt on his body, and began to thank Professor Sprout.

Professor Sprout nodded and continued, "Once the York Flytrap has bitten its prey, it will never let go. So does anyone know how to make the York Flytrap open its mouth by itself?"

Hermione was the first to raise her hand when she heard that, and Mike, recalling what Hermione had done after Ron was bitten, hesitated for a moment and then raised his hand as well.

There were many students who raised their hands in the greenhouse. Mike was not the only one who had just seen Hermione deal with the York flytrap. Professor Sprout looked around and called Mike's name.

Mike was a little surprised when his name was called. He thought Professor Sprout would let Hermione answer this question, after all, she was the first to raise her hand.

"Uh, tickle it."

"Correct answer, 10 extra points for Ravenclaw!" Sprout said happily.

Seeing this, Hermione stomped on the ground angrily, but accidentally stepped on Ron's foot, causing Ron to scream in pain.

Everyone's attention was drawn to his scream. Hermione's face turned red with shame and she almost wanted to dig a hole in the ground and crawl into it.

Mike was also a little embarrassed. He really didn't want to steal Hermione's points just now. Who knew that Professor Sprout would call his name.

"Okay, everyone, look here," Professor Sprout said, "Let's get on with the class. Please pay attention."

In the following time, whenever Mike raised his hand, Professor Sprout would let Mike answer the question. If he answered correctly, he would get 10 points, and if he answered incorrectly, he would get 5 points for his courage. Now anyone could see that Professor Sprout was deliberately favoring Mike.

Mike also figured out why Professor Sprout did this. Perhaps it was because he helped the little Hufflepuff wizard, so Professor Sprout favored him.

But in this situation, Sprout's excessive favoritism was almost turning into flattery. Seeing that the little wizards around him were looking at him with increasingly strange eyes, Mike had no choice but to stop raising his hand.

After finally making it to the end of get out of class, Mike finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Hermione ran out of the greenhouse as soon as Sprout announced the end of get out of class. Seeing this, Mike hurried forward to chase her, wanting to explain to Hermione.

However, it was just the time when classes were over and people were gathering. Not only their second-year students who were taking the Herbology class, but students from other grades who were taking other courses were also finishing their classes. Blocked by the crowd, Mike chased after Hermione for a long distance but was unable to catch up.

Watching Hermione disappear in the crowd, Mike shook his head helplessly.

"Huh, huh, why don't you chase me anymore?" Franklin said as he caught up breathlessly.

"I lost her." Mike sighed and said, "Forget it, let's ignore her for now, let's go to the Hogwarts kitchen first."

Mike had long noticed that Hermione's attitude towards him was not right recently, and she seemed to be angry with him. However, due to too many things happening recently, Mike did not deal with the matter. Now it seems that Hermione is quite dissatisfied with him, and it has reached the point where he has to intervene.

Mike made a silent decision in his heart that he would find an opportunity to talk to Hermione later.
