The Strongest Badger at Hogwarts

Looking down at the time on his watch, John yelled a little eagerly:

"Link! Hurry up! Class is coming!"

Link in the distance rolled his eyes when he heard the words, took two quick steps and stuffed the oil paper bag into John's hand, saying:

"Hurry up, don't be fussy."

John didn't reply when he heard the words, "Hehe" laughed a few times and couldn't wait to open the oil paper bag and ate.

The breakfast that Link brought to John was quite rich, a poached egg, two roasted sausages and a small pile of broccoli, and there was still some juice at the bottom of the oily paper bag.

If always, John would never touch something like broccoli.

But now I am extremely hungry but I can't manage that much.

The breakfast was wiped out by three under five and two, and Professor Sprout also happened to walk out of the warm shed and announced the start of class.

The herbal medicine class at the .. level is essentially the same as that of L.

It is nothing more than to know all kinds of extraordinary plants, and to learn their cultivation techniques and gathering techniques.

But the levels of these two courses are quite different.

If L. Herbalism’s supernatural plant is dead, it is a kind of disgusting and troublesome plant, but it is not too dangerous to man-made.

So... the supernatural plant given in herbalism is the kind of plant that may pose a fatal danger to wizards.

For example, this time.

Professor Sprout’s so-called teaching props are in front of everyone, rows of Ecuadorian piranhas neatly planted in huge ceramic flower pots.

This piranha presents an ugly color and unpleasant smell of a humic layer as a whole, and its body shape is like a thicker carpet, which can hide in rotten leaves.

But when someone or other creatures pass by it, it will instantly transform into the most terrifying predator, and its body will swell ten-fold, swallowing its prey.

Then, these prey will be instantly corroded by the terrifying acid in their body, turning them into the nutrients they need.

The reason why it was recognized as an extraordinary plant and moved into Professor Sprout's greenhouse is because their powerful acid is an important ingredient for refining a variety of insecticidal and killing potions.

In order to get the acid in their stomachs, wizards often trick them into a predator posture, and then use wooden stakes conjured by transformation to jam their mouthparts, and finally take the liquid.

Professor Sprout finally announced the start of the practical operation after fully recounting all the matters that need to be paid attention to in this liquid extraction process.

After hearing this, everyone also put on dragon leather gloves and various other protective equipment, and began to approach the Ecuadorian man-eating grass tremblingly.

Then what happened to the students was a bit tragic.

Even with the experience taught by Professor Sprout, a top-notch expert, how can the students take the liquid for the first time when faced with the ferocious plant that can reach nearly 4 meters in height when facing the hunting state of Ecuadorian man-eating grass. Can it succeed easily?

Ever since, amidst bursts of screams, students continued to be bitten by Ecuadorian man-eating grasses.

Fortunately, these Ecuadorian man-eating grasses have long been artificially limited the opening and closing of the mouthparts, and all the sharp teeth in the mouthparts have been pulled out, so it is impossible to swallow the students as a whole.

However, the bitten student is exempt from death, and the living sin is inevitable.

The Ecuadorian carnivorous grass, unable to swallow its prey alive and deadly, began to sway the prey in a hurry, and the students in panic began to instinctively use magic to counterattack, and within a short while, the group of demons danced in a mess in the Kung Fu greenhouse. .

When Professor Sprout saw this, he could only help the students with a helpless look.

As for those students who attacked the Ecuadorian herbivore, they were deducted a lot of college points.

Because these Ecuadorian man-eating grasses are very precious resources for sustainable development, how to protect them during the extraction process is also a very important science in herbal medicine, and those students are obviously too anxious to forget Spur The teachings of Professor Lauter.

This chaos continued until the end of get out of class.

But there are only a few students who can complete the liquid withdrawal in a safe and compliant manner.

John is one of them.

Amidst Professor Sprout’s shouting of extra points, many people cast admiration towards John and others.

But John didn't have the slightest idea of ​​complacency.

Others may not know, but he knows it.

The reason why he was able to successfully complete the liquid extraction was only because he had already mixed up with those Ecuadorian man-eating grasses when he came to clean in the morning.

The truly talented person is the kind of guy Link who can make Ecuadorian cannibals docile in the first grade.

Thinking of this, John glanced at Link secretly.

However, after Professor Sprout officially announced the end of get out of class, Link hurriedly left the greenhouse with Emily.

Perhaps he noticed John's sight halfway through, and turned his head and waved to John.

John also hurriedly smiled and waved.

John has long been accustomed to Link's performance.

Soon after entering the new semester, Link and Emily began to become very busy. You can hardly find their people in the common room or dormitory except for classes every day.

John also expressed his doubts about this.

But every time Link would smile mysteriously, and then said, ‘this is a surprise, and you’ll know when the time comes. ’

After doing this twice, John naturally didn't ask.

He sighed deeply and saw that all the students had left. This time, John reached out and picked up the tools in the corner to start cleaning the greenhouse again, while helping to take care of the Ecuadorian maneba which was injured by the students' rough hands and feet.

This was a rather tedious job, and John could not finish it until noon, and he left the greenhouse.

However, compared with when he came, he had an extra large cloth bag in his hand.

What's inside are two large pots of Ecuadorian man-eating grass acid and some broken branches and leaves.

These are the defective products left over from the last class, and they are also the reward for John's work for Professor Sprout.

Tired is a little tired, but John is very satisfied with the job.

After all, John has now thoroughly understood what Link said to him earlier, ‘learning... potions is simply burning money’.

Be aware that due to teaching funding, potions usually only provide one or two raw materials when teaching students to make advanced potions.

If you are talented and lucky, you can naturally use these two materials to the extreme under the guidance of the professor, and finally make them into a finished potion.

At this time, Professor Snape would repurchase these potions and exchange them for quotas in exchange for extra materials for practice.

It's a pity that John and most of the other students' talents and luck in potions are not as high as that level.

In that case, if you want to continue learning and practicing, you need to purchase raw materials at your own expense.

However, students like John who can't provide much support at home are also poor. The direct consequence of this is of course that poor students are quickly kicked off by students from wealthy families because of the small number of trainings.

In this case, Professor Sprout’s opportunity to work with herbal materials as payment is very attractive.

Because Hogwarts' potions and herbalism are actually a symbiotic relationship.

Herbalism greenhouses often specialize in cultivating special plants for potions to help schools save money. This means that most of the materials John gets in the herbalism greenhouse can be directly used for potions course training.

Even if it can't be used directly, John can choose to let Professor Snape buy back these materials in exchange for other materials.

So John is really satisfied to get such a large package of materials.

Because this meant that he could exchange the materials needed for a potion course as long as he added some more money.

But this still can't offset the cost of his weekly... potions class.

Then you need to find some other means of making money.

For example-go to George and Fred's black workshop to do temporary work.

After returning to Hogwarts for a rest and having lunch, John left the army and took his own medicine cauldron and other tools upstairs.

After turning around countless forks, a dark corridor finally appeared before his eyes.

At this time, John did not go in immediately, but raised a vigilance of 120,000 points, and moved slowly against the wall cautiously.

One step, two steps, three steps...

A huge red water balloon plummeted from the sky!

John, who was already very vigilant, exerted force on his waist, leaped directly to the side with his hands and feet, and then he dodged dangerously and dangerously.

Seeing the water balloon hit the ground and exploded into splashes of water, John shouted with a gloomy expression:

"Pippi! Are you looking for death? You give me this trick every time, this time I will never let you go!"

With John's scolding, Peppy, who had been hiding behind the wall, finally emerged.

He looked at John slyly, pointed to the security helmet on his head without any fear, and said:

"It's you again, little poor John, your luck is so good, you can avoid it every time. But you don't think you can deal with it with such a little luck? You know, I am the security guard here! Believe it or not, I will let Boss Weasley fire you?"

"you--"

John was furious with anger, but in the end he closed his mouth and picked up his work bag and walked forward.

Instead, Pippi was reluctant to let him go. He kept following John and provoke him, trying to get John to ‘play’ with him for a while.

It's a pity that John thought he was farting, so he quickened his pace and went straight into the second-to-last classroom.

The environment in this classroom, or workshop, is still as bad as it was when Link came last time.

Workbenches composed of dilapidated tables and chairs are densely placed in every corner of the classroom. Dozens of students with different clothes and different ages are busy inside.

It's not the first time John has been here.

He raised his hand and threw the iron plaque with his name to a Gryffindor boy who was guarding the door and was responsible for accounting and timing. Then he shuttled through the gap of the workbench with great difficulty until he stood by the window. In front of a workbench.

Behind this workbench stood a young Ravenclaw with sparse hair.

He didn't control a few workbenches alone like other workers, but he couldn't relax.

Because what he is making on his workbench is a degraded version of the ecstasy.

Naturally, this kind of ecstasy will not have the exaggerated effect of the original. The materials are more inferior and cheaper, and the manufacturing process is more time-saving and labor-saving, but at least it can have a little relationship with high-end potions, so it still cannot be manufactured. A little sloppy.

The young Ravenclaw's eyes lit up when John was here, and he was overjoyed:

"John, you finally came to take over! I'm almost starving to death!"

"Hurry up to eat when you are hungry," John smiled. "I have already helped you keep all the food in the auditorium. You can just go straight and eat it warm."

"Really? This is great! The ecstasy I am making has just processed the initial materials, so you can just continue to do it."

The teenager Ravenclaw finished his confession and was overjoyed after he packed up his tools and ran out of the classroom. But halfway through, he returned as if he had found something, "John, what's wrong with the dragon leather gloves in your hand? ?"

"What else can happen to dragon leather gloves?"

John said indifferently, and at the same time he turned his hands over and showed the Ravenclaw boy with the back of his hand, which was intact.

However, from John’s perspective, you can see that the palm of the dragon leather glove worn on his right hand has broken a small hole. Not only that, the palm of the left hand has also become very thin. Not far from the breach.

The young Ravenclaw had obviously discovered this too, otherwise he would not return.

He said with a serious expression:

"John, you are also a student in the potions class, so you should know that too? The materials that the two bastards, George and Fred, are both inferior in quality. There is no dragon skin to deal with such materials. Protect your hands with gloves, and your hands will be over!"

Saying that he took off his gloves and put them on the workbench, "I will give you my gloves first, and I'll be fine when I change over to the next shift."

"How can this work!" John suddenly became anxious when he saw this. "You also said to deal with these inferior materials and hurt your hands~www.readwn.com~ This will make your gloves wear..."

"What are you telling me about the wear and tear!? You helped me save the meal and asked me if I want to be paid? That's it! Listen to me, I'm going to eat!"

The boy interrupted John's words, and he went out of the classroom without looking back, leaving John at the workbench. After a long time, he sighed, and when he changed it, he showed the boy's body temperature and sweat. The smelly gloves began to gather the materials again.

Not only that, John also put an extra bubble curse on himself to isolate the bad smell in the workshop.

This is also a necessary protective measure. The nose of a pharmacist is as important as his hands. Many potions are made to judge by the sense of smell.

John also intends to go on the potion journey for a long time, so naturally he won't make jokes on the protection measures.

As for the broken dragon leather gloves.

In fact, even if the young Ravenclaw did not speak, John would borrow it from other people. Given his popularity here, borrowing a pair of gloves is not a difficult task.
