Chapter 4078 4080 [Herb Class]

After breakfast, everyone went to Greenhouse No. 1 for the herbal medicine class.

"Lily, good morning~", "Severus, good morning~"

After Xiang Nan and Lily met, they greeted each other.

"I sent a letter to my parents, and they wrote back, expressing their happiness that I was sorted into Gryffindor." Lily said to Xiang Nan with a smile.

"That's good." Xiang Nan nodded with a smile and handed the map of Hogwarts Castle he had drawn to Lily.

It records in detail the locations of classrooms, professors' offices, the principal's office, more than 140 flights of stairs, more than 200 doors, and more than 300 paintings. It can be said that with it, at least you won't get lost in the castle.

Lily was also very happy to receive Xiang Nan's gift.

She got up early today to go to the restaurant for dinner and almost got lost. Because Hogwarts is not only large, but the stairs often change direction, so it is easy for freshmen to get lost.

Fortunately, they met the enthusiastic Almost Headless Nick who showed them the way, otherwise they would probably have gone hungry, so she was very satisfied with the map.

"Thank you, Severus." Lily said sincerely.

"You're welcome." Xiang Nan waved his hand.

……

At this time, a short and fat witch walked in. She had flowing gray hair, a hat full of patches, and her body was covered with mud.

"Good morning, students. I am Pomona Sprout, your Herbology professor!" she said with a smile.

"Good morning, Professor Sprout!" the students said in unison.

Professor Sprout then called the roll and introduced the new students present. He then pointed to a plant covered with thorns that looked like a cactus and said, "The herb we are going to teach today is thorn grass. Now who can tell me the characteristics of thorn grass?"

The students looked at each other, only Xiang Nan and Lili raised their hands. After seeing Lili also raised her hand, Xiang Nan put his hand down again.

"Lily," Professor Sprout called on her name, "you tell me something."

"The thorns of the thorn grass are slightly poisonous and can cause coma and vomiting, so they can be used to make sleeping pills and emetics." Lily replied immediately.

"Very good, five points for Gryffindor." Professor Sprout nodded with satisfaction. "The thorns of the thorn grass are indeed very effective, but they are also somewhat dangerous. Why? Can anyone tell me?"

Lily raised her hand again.

"Because when you pull out the thorns of the thorn grass, it will resist desperately. If you are accidentally pricked by the thorns, you will feel dizzy and vomit." She answered again.

"Very comprehensive, five points for Gryffindor." Professor Sprout said with a smile, "Well, the main content of our class today is that each of us must pull out at least ten thorns from the thorn grass.

Everyone, put on your dragon leather gloves. You must take good care of yourselves. Today is the second day of school. If you don't want to feel dizzy and vomit, take all precautions. Now start pulling!"

Professor Sprout began to demonstrate. She put on dragon-skin gloves that effectively protected her hands, then stepped forward and grabbed the thorns of the thorn grass.

The thorn grass seemed to have life. After Sprout grabbed its thorn, its other branches immediately waved their thorns and stabbed towards Sprout.

Fortunately, she was wearing dragon-skin gloves, so her hands were not pricked. But the thorn grass's violent reaction still frightened the students. Then, Professor Sprout successfully pulled out a thorn, put it on the plate, and then smiled, "Okay, one plant per person, start now."

At the command, the students each put on dragon leather gloves, picked up a thorn grass, and prepared to pull out the thorns.

Although Professor Sprout seemed to be pulling out the thorns smoothly, when it was their turn, the students immediately realized how difficult it would be.

It turned out that the thorns of the thorn grass were very strong, and they had to use a lot of force to pull the thorns off the plant, which was as strong as pulling out a nail with bare hands. Therefore, their arms were sore after pulling out two thorns, and they were sweating profusely after pulling out five thorns.

But for Xiang Nan, pulling out the thorns of the thorn grass was very easy. He had more than a thousand years of power, and a single arm had a force of ten thousand pounds. Not to mention just pulling out a sharp thorn, even if he was arm wrestling with a giant, he would not lose to them.

So he had pulled out all ten spikes in the blink of an eye, which surprised Professor Sprout.

……

At this moment, Peter Pettigrew suddenly screamed, foamed at the mouth, and fainted to the ground, scaring everyone.

"His palms were sweaty from pulling out thorns, so he took off his gloves to wipe the sweat, but forgot to put them back on." Sirius explained with a smile, somewhat gloating.

"Poor Peter." Professor Sprout shook his head. "Remember, I emphasize again, you must take good protection. Severus, now that you have finished your homework, send him to the school infirmary."

Xiang Nan nodded, came to Peter, helped him up, and was about to send him to the school infirmary when he felt his pulse.

He was stunned for a moment, then slapped Peter on the back.

"What are you doing?" Remus Lupin asked angrily.

James Potter and Sirius Black also looked annoyed.

No matter how plain-looking, stupid or dumb Peter Pettigrew is, he is still a Gryffindor and will not allow other houses to bully him.

Lily Evans, Professor Sprout and other students were also shocked and didn't understand why Xiang Nan hit Peter for no reason.

At this moment, there was a "puff" sound, and Peter spat out a mouthful of slightly fishy mucus. Then he regained consciousness and opened his eyes.

"Professor, he's fine." Xiang Nan said immediately.

Peter Pettigrew also stood up by himself, whispered "thank you" to Xiang Nan, and returned to his classmates with a face full of shame, and continued to put on dragon leather gloves to pull out the thorns.

Everyone suddenly realized that Xiang Nan did not beat Peter, but used a magical method to help him heal his wounds and remove the poison.

"Very good, ten points to Ravenclaw," Professor Sprout said admiringly.

Although she was very good at herbology, she was not very good at medicine, so if a student had an accident in herbology class, she still needed the help of the physician Madam Pomfrey.

Many herbs in the magical world are very dangerous, such as thorn grass, devil's snare, mandrake, baboon tuber, fang geranium, Chinese biting cabbage, etc.

Some of them will sting you, some will cling to you, some will bite you, some have poisonous fluids, and some can kill you with their barks...and students often get into accidents of varying sizes due to carelessness, and every time they have to be sent to the school hospital.

Although she will not have her salary deducted for this, it would undoubtedly be her greatest pleasure if the students were safe and could recover as soon as possible.

So Xiang Nan helped her cure Peter Petillo, which made her very appreciative.
