I really didn't want to practice immortality at Hogwarts

Chapter 285 Golden Thorn Grass and Bowtruckle

After Professor Sprout finished speaking, everyone was slightly surprised.Generally, the various herbs in the herbal medicine class are all related to the potions class without exception, but today the professor actually said that the golden thorn grass is related to the making of wands. This is very interesting.

The wand is the "most familiar stranger" to wizards.Everyone uses wands every day, but the making of wands is usually done by the old man Ollivander in Diagon Alley.Generally, every wizard only has one wand in his life. When everyone buys a wand, they are still children. Who can notice how the wand is made?

Seeing everyone's confusion, Professor Sprout smiled. She liked this suspenseful process.

"Students, you know that wands are made of various types of wood, have the heart of a dragon, and have the core of phoenix feathers, but you don't know how the wand is selected?"

As soon as Professor Sprout finished speaking, Hermione raised her hand.

"...Please, we are on a tracking mission now! Why don't we be so anxious to show off!" Ron muttered softly.

Zhang Chun glanced at Ron, smiled and ignored him.

Hermione didn't hear Ron's muttering, she just held her hands up.

Sprout hoped that a Hufflepuff classmate would stand up and answer, but after waiting for a long time, she did not find anyone willing to meet her eyes. Even Hannah Abbott, who was usually the smartest, was stunned. I don't know where I'm looking.

"Okay! Miss Granger of Gryffindor, you answer this question."

"The one who can choose the most suitable wand wood is Bowtruckle!" Hermione replied.

"Yes, that's it. One point for Gryffindor...but does anyone know the role of goldenthorn in this?"

Hermione still raised her hand, and Professor Sprout still waited for a moment, then turned back to look at Hermione helplessly, "Continue talking, kid."

"Well, Bowtruckles usually eat leaves, but they have a more sensitive sense of smell and perception after taking the juice of goldenthorn. I heard about it in "Extreme Customs of the Mediterranean", Mr. Ollivander's The reason why the family became master staff-makers in the fourth century AD was because they discovered the mysterious connection between goldenthorn and bowtruckles," Hermione continued.

"Awesome! I give Gryffindor - 2 points!" Sprout felt a little distressed. After all, she was a little upset when she thought about Gryffindor's almost bursting gem slot in the auditorium.

Hermione nodded and continued, "It is said that Bowtruckle likes goldenthorn juice because it contains..."

"Oh! No, no, we don't cover this knowledge point in this class. Thank you, Miss Granger." Professor Sprout quickly asked Hermione to sit down.

Sprout glanced at his house again before continuing, "Well, as Miss Granger said, so today our task is to squeeze the goldenthorn juice! And then feed the Bowtruckle. You guys are lucky That's great, I specially got this from a friend who loves magical animals -" As he spoke, the professor took out a small cage from under the table, in which were two humanoid stick insects. Bowtruckle.

"Mr. Newt Scamander?" Harry asked suddenly.

"Sorry, what are you talking about?" Professor Sprout was stunned and asked.

Harry stood up and said slowly, "Professor, is it true that the friend you mentioned who loves Fantastic Beasts is Newt Scamander, the author of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them?"

After Harry finished speaking, everyone couldn't help but smile.

"Oh, you're talking about him! Mr. Potter. Well, Mr. Scarman is indeed a great naturalist, but he has been around for a long time. Oh, do you know? Since he stopped the first generation of black Grindelwald, he became very famous. But unfortunately, his wife Tina Goldstein also passed away soon... and then he disappeared. We never heard from him."

"Oh, yeah, that's too bad." Harry sat down hastily.

He exchanged glances with several of his companions, and they could all see that each other was slightly proud.Mr. Newt Scamander is actually in Hogwarts now, but only a few people know this secret.

Professor Sprout was about to continue introducing the goldenthorn plant when suddenly, Hannah Abbott stood up in a hurry and said rudely, "Is Newt Scamander dead?"

Professor Sprout's face sank and he looked at Hannah Abbott with dissatisfaction. After all, her rashness was really embarrassing. Not only was she rude to the teacher, but calling Mr. Scarman by his first name was too much. rude.

"Sit down, Hannah... No one knows where Newt went, but I don't think he is no longer in this world." The professor had a heavy nasal voice, which was used to vent his little anger.

Hannah Abbott didn't say anything else, she sat down and stopped talking.

Sprout glanced at her and began to explain how to squeeze the juice from the goldenthorn.

Zhang Chun and the other four people stared at Hannah closely, wondering why this guy was suddenly interested in Mr. Scarman.

After the professor finished explaining, everyone started to operate.

Neville Longbottom solicitously invited Hannah to join him in the operation, but the latter gave him a cold look and stared at the place under the flowerpot shelf where she had hidden Gaunt's ring without blinking.

Neville was made red-faced, so he could only operate it by himself.

It is not difficult to get the juice of Goldenthorn. It may be that Professor Sprout really responded to Dumbledore's call and deliberately selected these herbs that are easy to operate.

Harry and Hermione teamed up, and Hermione quickly finished extracting the juice from the goldenthorn, and collected the brown juice in a small bottle, which was placed in the most conspicuous place on the table.

Zhang Chun was in a group with Ron. Ron worked clumsily for a long time... Even Zhang Chun, who had never come into contact with wizard herbs, found it a bit troublesome. After he finished, he also put the goldenthorn juice in a small bottle. inside.

But his juices were much less than Hermione's.

Of course, the rest of Harry and Zhang Chun pretended to operate and focused on Hannah.

Hannah didn't move, but they felt nervous.

Zhang Chun watched the time pass by, but Hannah still didn't respond.

Zhang Chun was thinking, hadn't Professor Dumbledore been notified of his vision?Why hasn't he appeared yet?

Seeing that most of the students had finished, Professor Sprout held up the two Bowtruckles in his hands and said, "Next, I will let the Bowtruckles personally inspect how you did your homework. You must know that Bowtruckles like Pure golden thorn juice without any external contamination, this is the time to test you."

As he spoke, Professor Sprout held a bowtruckle and went to each group one by one to check their homework.

Hannah, on the other hand, was still staring at the bottom of the flower stand.
