Days wandering around Hogwarts

Chapter 437 Angry

On the first day of school, students were talking about the Triwizard Tournament. From the four common rooms to the cafeteria, the topic was everywhere.

There were many students gathered in front of the bulletin board. The first announcement of this school year made many people excited.

Because Charles' fertilizer experiment continued, everyone had a place to work and earn some pocket money.

At breakfast, Hermione sat next to Charles and said to him seriously, "Charles, when are you free? I want to have a good talk with you."

Charles glanced at her, scooped a bowl of oatmeal from the table in front of him, and said calmly, "Is it about Viktor Krum? In principle, I have no objection. You can handle it yourself."

Seamus, who was sitting on the other side of Charles, immediately asked, "What happened to Krum?"

Charles said while drinking porridge: "Nothing."

Seamus looked at Hermione, gossip burning in his eyes, but was glared back.

Hermione said to Charles: "I'm not talking about that, I'm talking about something more important!"

Charles frowned and asked, "Do you know who placed the Dark Mark that night?"

Hermione paused, then shook her head.

Charles said, "I thought you knew."

At this time, Neville on the opposite side said: "Hermione, Charles is very busy at this time, so don't disturb him."

"I heard from my father that the Ministry of Magic is planning to have a big collaboration with Charles, which will definitely be troublesome."

Charles knew nothing about this cooperation. He thought that the company had accepted the order and was probably in the process of communication, so he did not report it.

Hermione pouted and whispered, "Humph, it must be slave labor too."

She thought about it last night when she returned to her bedroom and Harry said Dobby mentioned that there were house-elves working in the kitchen of Charles' Dancing Grass Restaurant.

Charles turned his head and looked at her without saying anything, then continued to eat breakfast quietly.

Hermione shuddered, having never seen such a cold look in those eyes.

She was about to say something when Harry tugged at her sleeve and said, "Have breakfast first."

Hermione hesitated, then picked up the bread and began to spread the jam on it.

Ron watched her start to eat and said, "I noticed you were eating."

Harry immediately whispered to him, "Stop talking."

Dean, Lavender and others who were sitting opposite found that the atmosphere among those people was a little strange.

Harry also felt strange. Charles seemed like a different person after school started. Hermione became very excited after learning about house-elves from Winky. She scratched her head and didn't know why.

After breakfast, the students went to class.

Today, Charles and his classmates’ first class was Herbology, and they came to the greenhouse.

Professor Sprout has something good for everyone.

The plant looked like a giant slug, as black as charcoal, squirming constantly, with many yellow-green, glittering bumps on its body, and it gave off a foul odor.

"Who knows what it is?" Professor Sprout began to ask. "Oh, Miss Granger, please go ahead."

Hermione recited as usual, "This is the Babo tuber. It only grows in the Forbidden Forest. The pus can be used to make skin care products."

Professor Sprout nodded and asked, "Can anyone else tell me something about the Babo tuber?"

Hermione was shocked. Could there be something else that she hadn't seen in the book?
At this time Ron replied: "I heard from Charlie that the Babo tuber is also the food of forest monsters."

Everyone couldn't help but look at the squirming plants, thinking that only trolls would eat them. Professor Sprout nodded and said, "Yes, Charlie planted some in the Forbidden Forest a few years ago to avoid a war between the forest trolls and the centaurs due to lack of food."

Then Seamus added, "Fleamont Porter made a shampoo from the pus of the babo tuber for sores on the head."

This is one of the products he sells.

Professor Sprout nodded and looked at Charles.

Charles just shook his head. He couldn't say that the old man had helped a purple-haired girl pick five Babo tubers in the Forbidden Forest in exchange for a set of clothes for farm work.

Later, the girl became a famous beauty potion maker and died 28 years ago.

Or, the babo tuber is the main product that the centaurs use to exchange for food.

Professor Sprout said, "Today we are going to squeeze the pus out of the Babo tuber..."

"What?!" Seamus was a little disgusted with this kind of squirming thing, "Do we have to squeeze it out with our hands?"

Professor Sprout nodded and said, "Yes, but we need to wear dragon-skin gloves. Undiluted pus will damage the skin."

"This pus is very precious. Everyone should collect it into bottles. Madam Pomfrey needs it."

The students began to receive a piece of Babo tuber each and squeezed it with frowning faces.

Charles thought about it, took a few empty flower pots from the side, and then took out his wand.

Professor Sprout did not stop him, but just watched his performance quietly.

Charles thought about it and conjured up a strange glass container.

It is installed on a bracket, with a funnel at the bottom and a steamer-like structure in the middle, with only a few glass sticks supporting the babo tubers and a lid on the top.

Charles punctured every pustule on the Babo tuber with a needle, put them into a glass container, covered it with a lid, and cast a spell.

Professor Sprout knew the spell was not from Western Europe, and could not see any effect, but yellow-green pus suddenly spurted out of the abscesses of the Babo tuber.

Charles cast a vacuum spell, and the area around the glass container became a vacuum, and the pus was sucked out.

"Great!" Professor Sprout was a little curious, "What kind of spell is this?"

Charles replied, "This is a vacuum spell. It removes all the air from the surrounding area."

Professor Sprout's brows suddenly frowned and he said, "This spell seems very dangerous."

If you create a vacuum around a person, that person will die.

Charles nodded and said, "Yes, this is their life-saving magic."

"Veela?" Professor Sprout's eyes were full of gossip. "I heard that you left with many Veela on the night of the Quidditch final. Did they teach you?"

This is a huge piece of news. I can't help but listen to it now.

Charles coughed twice and said seriously, "Professor, it's time for class now."

Professor Sprout immediately said, "Don't leave after class. I want to talk to you about the experiment for this school year."

Charles was speechless, thinking that you are so gossipy.

But Professor Sprout's plan failed. When the get out of class was about to end, Filch was waiting outside the greenhouse with a message from Dumbledore.

When the bell rang for the end of get out of class, Filch walked into the greenhouse and told Charles that Dumbledore asked him to go to the headmaster's office because of an urgent matter.

Charles went for a walk immediately, and Professor Sprout was very depressed.
