Natural Magic at Hogwarts

Chapter 34 Professor Sprout’s Gift

As the weeks passed, as Bree methodically learned magic at Hogwarts, his maverick life became less and less like a Slytherin.

The little snakes stopped messing with him, and people in other houses were much kinder to him. Even Ron Weasley gradually stopped mentioning him over time.

Bree became a unique little snake.

"The sorting hat must be broken, otherwise our lovely brother Bree would be sorted into Slytherin." George ate his lunch and said with a smile: "You are right, Fred."

"I'm George, Fred." Fred looked at Ron who was immediately furious after hearing what they said. He became interested and continued to stimulate Ron.

"Ah, I really wish I could change it."

"Change a younger brother!" Ron stared at Fred angrily and said, "George, you can't afford to raise a younger brother who is like a loser!"

When Fred heard what Ron said, he laughed and said, "I can sell my old brother so that I can afford to raise my new brother."

"Stop it, George!" Percy on the side said seriously: "Don't make trouble at the table."

At this time, the real George spread his hands and pretended to be aggrieved.

"I am George, don't put Fred's fault on me."

Fred hugged George's shoulders and said dissatisfied: "Don't be like this, we are one, and whoever does something wrong will be blamed on the other."

"Of course, but our old brother might want to beat us." George laughed and pointed at Ron, who was sitting with a red face and was not eating in anger.

When Harry saw his friends being bullied by his brothers, he had no idea of ​​intervening. He was used to it. It was just like the Weasley twins who didn't bully Ron. It was a big problem. Moreover, this kind of life also made Harry feel envious. He I thought it would be nice if I had an older brother, at least I wouldn't be so lonely.

Hermione frowned while looking at the book, not paying attention to the argument at all. It wasn't until she finished the last bite of salad that she closed the book and said seriously to Harry: "Harry, I've been practicing Quidditch since this afternoon. Time, you and I will go to the library to finish our homework for the weekend!"

"Ah...I, I mean I know, Hermione, you can go first, I will eat some more and come back." Harry made a grimace, he had been coming here like this in the past few weeks, Hermione joined He joined the Quidditch house team and didn't waste much time studying. She allocated it very tightly. As someone of the same grade and on the same house team, he was naturally invited to join, and he had no reason to refuse.

"I advise you to hurry up." Hermione didn't even look at Ron, who was glaring at her next to Harry, and walked towards the library with the book in hand.

"Oh, look, she is as strange as that Odd, the know-it-all lady of Gryffindor, who talks endlessly like an old scholar. No one will like her. Harry, you have to escape from her grasp. .”

Ron had just had a conflict with Hermione in the Charms class a few days ago. He even publicly questioned Hermione's behavior in helping the little wizard master the spells, and secretly gave Hermione a nickname - Miss Know-It-All.

"Ron, you can't say that about Hermione, she's a girl."

"Hmph, no matter what, you have to admit that the girls in Gryffindor don't like her either. Granger can only deal with books. Even if she joins the Quidditch team, it will be a disaster. Maybe... Wuwu"

Harry quickly covered Ron's mouth and looked at Hermione who didn't leave immediately behind them with a guilty look on his face.

"Sorry Hermione, Ron didn't mean it."

Hermione didn't say anything, just ran away with red eyes.

"Oh, our old brother made a little girl cry, and he's also a talented hitter on our academy team." Fred patted Ron on the shoulder and said, "You have to apologize, Ron."

George also said: "You have to sincerely apologize yourself. What you just said was too hurtful."

Percy also had a serious face. He was a prefect and would never allow any house dispute to occur under his nose.

"You need to apologize, Ron."

Ron felt guilty at first, but as his brothers accused him and ordered him, he suddenly stood up and said: "Your brother is that Ode, don't order me!"

After saying that, he ran away.

Harry sat uneasily in his chair, and finally chose to chase Ron, hoping to persuade him.

……

The little Gryffindor conflict didn't attract much attention. Bree was also talking to Cedric at the time, talking about the house elves' new dessert.

"Today is Friday. There are no classes for the first grade students in the afternoon. I am going to go to Professor Sprout's place, so I will leave first."

Bree tightened her cloak tightly. It was already winter, and the temperature in Hogwarts was very low. It was only warmer inside the castle. Although it hadn't snowed outside yet, the wind was already freezing.

"Professor Sprout, are you going to transplant the devil's ivy today?"

In the greenhouse, Sprout squatted next to a huge devil's ivy, holding a small flower pot, and the small shovel in his hand was ready to go.

"Oh, Ode, come here and help me. Only you can appease it."

Sprout welcomes Bree's arrival. Bree has been here frequently in the past few weeks. It can be said that Bree is Sprout's favorite student.

Bree stroked the flustered devil vine with his hands, emitting a little natural magic power to calm it down.

"What an amazing talent." Sprout couldn't help but say as he peeled away the calm devil's vine vines.

He took the initiative to tell Sprout about Bree's natural magic power. Compared with waiting for her to ask, answering proactively can gain favor and make Bree appear more sincere. This is not a calculation, but just a little thought of Bree.

"There are many vines of the devil vine, but there is only one root system. You only need to find it to complete the transplant." Sprout flipped and quickly found the root system of the devil vine by experience.

"If it weren't for you, I'd probably have to use fire magic to avoid these vines."

Sprout waved the small flower pot on his hand and said: "This is the alchemy item Dumbledore found for me. It can allow large magical plants to temporarily live in it for easy transplantation. Do you want to try it?"

"Of course." Brie's eyes lit up, and she took the flowerpot, and then saw Sprout carefully shoveling away the soil around the roots with a small shovel, and slowly lifting up the roots.

Seeing this, Brie handed over the small flower pot, and soon the roots were transplanted inside, and the lush vines continued to shrink, becoming a small pocket-sized vine bush.

"You did a great job. Many little wizards don't have the guts to face large magic plants. You are excellent." Sprout still remembered that when he took a class on devil vines a few days ago, some little wizards were killed by small devil vines. Teng was shocked. They didn't learn much knowledge at all in that class, which was a pity.

"Okay, let's continue with other plants. I know you have time today, and as a thank you, I decided to give you a gift."

Gift?

Bree is looking forward to it. Taking care of plants is a relaxing activity that Bree chooses after studying. Always studying makes Bree a little bit overwhelmed. He can't be a real nerd, but he can always get gifts in Sprout. He just got a pot of moon flowers last week, and Bree put them on the window sill of the turret.

"Of course, I'm looking forward to it, but I'm sorry Professor, I have some things to do on the weekend, so I can't help you take care of the plants in the afternoon, and I may become busy after that."

During this time, Bree has learned about all the spells he can find, and can master most of them skillfully. It can be said that he is not inferior to those graduating outstanding students in terms of spells.

Next is the combination of magic spells and natural magic. As for making alchemy notes, I'm sorry, there are many flower pots piled on the platform of the corner tower. They are full of various plants brought by Bree from the Forbidden Forest, but there is no Trance Grass. .

"Oh, it doesn't matter, I have a lot of time on the weekend, and I can take care of them later." Sprout smiled gently, rubbed Brie's black hair, pinched his face and said: " So let’s get started.”

"of course."

After helping Sprout take care of the plants, she mysteriously took out a small box from her pocket.

"It's a little flower garden."

flower garden?

Bree looked at the box in surprise, because he could only guess one possibility, that is, the box world is another use of the Traceless Stretch Charm. Such props are very precious. It is rumored that Ms. Hufflepuff invented it. .

"This is an alchemy tool I made based on Lord Hufflepuff's alchemy pages. I hope you like it." Sprout handed the box to Bree and continued: "Don't worry, this has been approved by the Ministry of Magic. , but I have always been at Hogwarts, and I have several greenhouses, so I can only collect it, and it is just right for you now."

"Thank you very much, I need it." Brie was extremely sincere, with an excited expression on his face, causing Sprout to pinch his little face again.

"Okay, it's getting late now, let's go back and have dinner."

"Oh, yes, goodbye, Professor Sprout."

"Goodbye, child."

After leaving the greenhouse, Bree went to the kitchen. He was not prepared to show up at the dining table. The itinerary he had planned for today was interrupted by this box, and now he wanted to go to the Forbidden Forest.

"Dian, can you give me some portable food? I have some things to do and I don't have time to go to the hall."

"Oh, of course, it's a little bit of an honor to work for the little wizard!"

Perhaps Bree only knew Diandian, the elf, so the special roll call made him a little excited, or showed off his power, which other elves were very envious of.

Taking the beef jerky and sandwich given by the house elf, Bree cast a disillusionment spell on herself.

Illusion Spell is a spell that Buri has always wanted to learn, but ordinary wizards don't have access to it. Maybe it is in the restricted area, but Buri has the detailed notes of the owner of the corner building, so it only took a while to master it.

After casting the Disillusionment Spell, Bree blended in with the surrounding environment and was not discovered even when passing by some little wizards.The Disillusionment Curse is not safe, but it is enough to deal with young wizards. If you delve deeper, you can even get past some powerful wizards.
