Harry Potter: Glory of the King - Chapter 47
“In fact, the most important requirement for magical animals is to ensure the safety of their habitats.” Grapland continued. “The jungle where horsemen and unicorns inhabit, the rivers and lakes where mermaids stay, etc., but there are always some animals who prefer not to be confined to a certain area-food is also the most troublesome problem for wizards. For example, fire dragons, In their eyes, Muggles and even wizards are their food, and eight-eyed giant spiders…” At this point, Ron couldn’t help shaking his hands and made a little movement.
Grapland glanced at Ron, who was pale, and realized that he didn’t mean it, so he continued to lecture. “There are also some magical animals eager to be noticed, such as horse-shaped water monsters, and big hair monsters.
“I will talk about these animals in a later course. The book only draws simple illustrations-Newt is really not a good painter, so they are more like silhouettes. I will find some better pictures for everyone to see. —If possible, I don’t mind bringing live magical animals to open your eyes.” Grapland smoked his pipe and watched the students underneath whispering in excitement. “By the way, in 1965, the ban on “Prohibition of Raising for Experimental Purposes” made the creation of magical animal species an illegal activity-a must!”
Ona raised his hand.
“Oh? What?” Grapland had planned to end the course with a few more words.
“You just mentioned creating magical animals?” Ona stood up and asked, “Is it possible that there will be new magical animals that form naturally?”
“Yes, there are actually a lot of magical animals created, such as the eight-eyed giant spider! There are also basilisks! Five-legged monsters! As for the cats and raccoons, they are cultivated locally. As for the second question-it is difficult to say that it is in the world Great, I can’t guarantee that all magical creatures will be discovered, and the earliest magical creatures, perhaps like wizards, were derived from ordinary races.” Grapland said, “Are you… Ona Kraff? “
“Yes, Professor.” Ona was a little surprised.
“I heard Hagrid say that you have an eagle. Well, it’s really beautiful, and it’s magical—a bit like a thunderbird. We wanted to take a look last night, but he seems to have spotted us and hasn’t waited. We flew away when we got around him. Is he there?”
“Oh, sorry, Professor. He sent me the letter home in the morning.”
“It’s a pity.” Grapland was somewhat distracted. “Gryffindor adds 1…2 points.”
Hermione’s face flushed, but she could only stare at Ona who was sitting down.
“Okay, the time is almost there, and there is not much content left. The Phantom Mantra and the Forgotten Mantra are not my teaching content. Finally, I will emphasize that the important meaning of the magical animal class is protection. Okay, let’s set it up. Homework, 5 inches of understanding about magical animals, I don’t want to see the full text of the book, give it to me before the next class, and now the get out of class ends!”
The students in the two classes rushed to pack their things and rushed to the greenhouse—this is outside the castle, and the Hufflepuff students were even more anxious—because this was the course of their dean Pomona Sprout.
As soon as they walked to the foyer of the castle, everyone wore a wizard hat—this kind of hat can effectively prevent sun protection and also has a certain cooling function.
On the way, they ran into the students of Ravenclaw and Slytherin. They were also in a hurry, shaking off the mud from their robes and the leaves on the dragonskin gloves. Before the class, they finally arrived at the greenhouse.
“Everyone is welcome.” Sprout said kindly. This is a squat witch with flowing gray hair. Although she wears a thick hat full of patches and is covered in mud, no one dares to look down upon her because of it—and it has nothing to do with the scissors that she wields. “Let me introduce myself first, Pomona Sprout, professor of herbal medicine and part-time dean of Hufflepuff.”
After all the little wizards bowed to say hello, Sprout opened the door of the greenhouse: “Hufflepuff’s students go in, I know you. The Gryffindor children will wait a moment, just in time I’ll call a name and know a bit.”
Hufflepuff’s students filed in. Ten of Gryffindor waited at the door, “Sorry, I’ve been waiting, come on, let’s hurry and start.”
After finishing the call, everyone followed Professor Sprout into the greenhouse. The place provided for the students in the greenhouse was similar to a workbench. You could see the mud and herbal fragments left over from the previous lesson, and some people even dropped one. quill.
“Clean up!” Sprout took out his magic wand with his other hand and waved it. Suddenly, the mud and stray herbal remnants disappeared, and the quill jumped into the trash can, seemingly finished. . “Sit down, everyone!”
“The textbook is still necessary to read, but I prefer you to follow me to learn it by yourself, just read it later in the textbook.” Sprout said when seeing Hermione take out the thick textbook. Herbalism is more important than practice, not to mention the curse class, transformation class, potion class and defense class.”
“Our courses will be combined with actual plant teaching. Taking into account your level, I will start with harmless plants and gradually move to dangerous common plants…not every plant can become a herbal medicine, not every herbal medicine. They all come from plants,” Sprout said. “Analyzing the characteristics of herbs, it is inevitable that experiments are needed. At present, many experiments are done with mice, and monkeys or orangutans are also used.”
“In the Potions class, you have more opportunities to use this kind of experiment.” Sprout smiled, “At least I don’t need to use the content of my current teaching.”
“There are thousands of magic herbs. Let’s start with the more common ones.” Sprout said, pulling out a plant from the soil around him at will. In Hungary, it is about 12-35 inches tall. It can be seen that the stems are erect, the plants have white long hairs, the leaves are gray-green needle-like, sessile alternately, and the leaf edges are serrated-hence the name Sawgrass,” Sprout Let all tables (4-5 people per table) choose one to find a plant to see. Ona, Hermione, Glory, Harry, and Ron are at a table. Hermione is the most active and ran away. Look, sister and brother Ona are not surprised, that is, Ron frowned and looked at Hermione, thinking that this girl was a little unbearable. When every student who went to dig grass came back with dragon leather gloves holding a Chiba Achillea, Sprout looked at it with satisfaction.
Naturally, Hermione shared it with her good girlfriend for the first time. Ona glanced, and quickly remembered all the characteristics, only Harry and Ron stared eagerly.
“We can see,” Sprout pointed at the top of the flower with scissors, “The inflorescence is capitate-shaped, involucre oblong, white or pink florets, achene oblong, light green, flowering and fruit stage 7 -9 months.”
Sprout quickly treated the Achillea in his hand with scissors. “This plant is very hardy, has a sex-loving environment with plenty of sunshine, and has fertile and well-drained soil.”
“As for its efficacy, who knows?”
Ona raised his hand: “Stop the bleeding!”
