Drinking black tea calmly at Hogwarts

"Look, sister, go to the ground to crush the dog."

"The dog is on the ground, look at your sister."

Walking around the campus early Saturday morning, the siblings saw Hagrid administering medicine to his hound as they passed near Hagrid's cabin.Probably because of the pain caused by the potion applied to the wound, the hound was struggling so hard that Hagrid had to force it to the ground.

The two watched Hagrid and the Hound compete from a distance, and while they were playing with the golden terrier, which had been hot for the past two years, they walked towards the greenhouse.

Because of the bad luck in the first class, Malfoy didn't say a good word about Hagrid when he introduced the professors in Hogwarts to the brothers and sisters, which made the two brothers and sisters treat Hagrid very badly. Stay away.

"When a person commits suicide and then dies, it depends on his own reasons, but also objective factors." This is how Zhang commented on the fact that the pony was hit by the hippogriff's claw.

Then the two unlucky children wrote a five-hundred-word dissertation about their cousin's death.

Now, in the list of major hazards for Hogwarts in the minds of the siblings, Hagrid was identified by them as a secondary hazard.

And their destination this morning, the greenhouse area of ​​Hogwarts, belongs to the highest level of danger source.

At the place where the greenhouse area intersects with the Forbidden Forest, there are several two or three-story tall trees planted, and the crowns of the trees are full of abundant fruits at the moment.

These are the only few mouse fruit trees in Europe, and they grew from the seeds brought by Mr. Zhang when he first came to Hogwarts 17 years ago.It's a pity that the ghost vine and ambergris he brought at the same time failed to grow successfully in Hogwarts.

Because mouse fruit doesn't begin to bloom until nearly a decade after it germinates and grows, Zhang didn't have to wait to see what the fruit would look like in the UK.

In order to protect these precious fruit trees, Sprout specially transplanted a large circle of thorns from the forbidden forest and planted them around the fruit trees.

These khaki-colored thorns grow flat on the ground, like a carpet.If there are small animals such as mice and snakes passing by it, it will continue to stab the thorns in the body to kill these animals, and then absorb the nutrients of the animal corpses.

If it grows enough years, those bone-white ground thorn kings can even pierce the soles and soles of people's shoes, and even car tires.

The brother and sister noticed this place during their first herbal medicine class, so today's action was taken.

At this time, Neville, who routinely visited the greenhouse every morning, was quietly watching the pair of siblings looking around not far away, "It really is someone he taught." Neville muttered.

Hogwarts has been in peace for ten years. There has been no Voldemort, no Zhang, and so on. The students can live in peace, and the professors can take care of them with peace of mind.

But whenever Neville recalled the past, he always felt that this kind of campus life always lacked a little passion.

After all, there was no external threat, and no one inside took the lead. The students of Hogwarts lost the sense of urgency they had in the past, which gradually changed many things in the school.

For example, the Defense Association has become a place of jealousy, and the other two organizations established to defend Hogwarts have become a paradise for careerists.

At the same time, the students' subjective initiative and magic level are not as strong as before.

Take the greenhouse area as an example, when Neville followed Professor Sprout and fought wits with a group of students.While teachers and students competed with each other, the progress of students who worked hard to break through the defense line of the greenhouse area in herbal medicine and other courses was obvious to all.

As for the current students, Neville shook his head, none of them could fight.

Soon, the actions of the siblings interrupted Neville's thoughts.

"What are you two doing?" Neville walked up to the siblings.

"Good morning, Professor Longbottom." x2

The two freshmen greeted Neville very well.

If it weren't for the fact that both of them were carefully holding a large field of thorns in their hands, Neville would have regarded them as ordinary students who came for a walk on a weekend morning.

"What do you want these newly grown ground thorns for?"

Neville asked curiously.

He had seen many students who came here to steal herbs, but this was the first time he had seen students who took away the plants that guarded the greenhouse area.This is as strange as stealing a motorcycle without stealing the car or the battery, but only the front lock.

"We're going to make a present for Aunt Narcissa and Uncle Lucius," Alsace replied.

Neville is at a loss, you are sure you are not trying to deceive people by using this thing as a gift

So out of curiosity, he followed the siblings to the kitchen.

There are many unused bean sprouts trays in the kitchen. Although they have been left there and no one uses them, the house-elves of Hogwarts still maintain them regularly, which makes them look fresh. There are [-]% new.

A layer of soil has been covered in two trays, and the two brothers and sisters cut the ground thorns they brought back and carefully planted them in the trays.

"That's enough," Neville asked, looking at the brother and sister who were wiping sweat and hands and the thorns they had just planted, "I've seen senders of flowers, fruits and vegetables, and mushrooms, but this kind of stuff It’s the first time I’ve seen it.”

At this moment, Neville really wanted to call someone Zhang after returning home tonight to ask if he raised the children maliciously and misrepresented the children's three views.

"Professor Longbottom, come and sit down here." Jaina pulled Neville to a chair beside her and sat down. At the same time, Alsace put a plate of ground thorns at Neville's feet, "Professor, you take off your clothes." Take off your shoes and socks and step on it with bare feet."

Out of his knowledge of the ground thorns and his own curiosity, Neville dubiously followed the words of the two of them.

Since they were newly born thorns, the force of their spikes was not strong when they were stimulated, and they couldn't pierce the skin on Neville's feet.

But this was enough, Neville, who was enjoying a foot massage for the first time, felt a current flow from the soles of his feet, flowing through his whole body, and then piercing towards his celestial cap.

After more than 20 minutes, Neville asked while wearing shoes and socks: "How did you two come up with this?"

"We thought of it when we heard the professor talk about its characteristics in the first herbal medicine class." Alsace replied.

Neville continued to ask: "So have you ever thought that when these thorns grow up, they will pierce people's feet?"

"We checked the book." Jaina replied, "The ground thorns will hibernate and stop growing in winter, and they can be thrown away in spring and replaced with new ones. Anyway, it doesn't cost money."

Neville nodded in relief. It's rare to see such a flexible first-year freshman in the past few years, but the two of them still have something to think about.

"Then have you ever thought that they will not hibernate in a warm room, but will always grow?" Neville asked.

The siblings said "uh" a few times and then stopped talking.

After coming over for a while, Jaina whispered: "It seems that we still made the mistake of bookishness."

Looking at the dejected two siblings, Neville just smiled.

"Don't be discouraged, the matter is not impossible to remedy." Neville said, "There is also a kind of ground thorn that eats insects in the Forbidden Forest. I think using them can still meet your requirements."

The brothers and sisters were overjoyed at first, but their expressions soon became sad again.

"What's the matter?" Neville asked curiously.

"We can't go into the Forbidden Forest yet." Arthas replied.

"Now" Neville caught the point of the other party's words.

"We have to go to the Forbidden Forest by ourselves after the third grade." Alsace said.

"Do you think the Forbidden Forest is Hogsmeade?" Neville complained.

But Neville couldn't help feeling compassionate when he saw the two children's desperation.

"Okay, don't be discouraged." Neville said to the two of them, "There will always be a solution, you wait for my notice."

After Neville finished speaking, he left. When he returned to Hogsmeade's house, he picked up the phone and dialed Harry's number.
