Chapter 128

Outside the greenhouse

As he approached the greenhouse, Deveraux saw that other students had already gathered outside, standing in groups of three or four, and some were still discussing something enthusiastically.

"Oh, I never thought that we would have to take practical classes in the fifth grade. I thought we hadn't had it since the third grade."

"It was in the fifth grade that we had to take this class. Every O.W.L. exam involves current political hotspots. I heard that several new herbs were found and put into use this year, and they are likely to appear in the exam, so the school arranged this."

"Oh, so that's the case. I don't know what herbs the professor will show us later. In the second grade, I missed a whole week of classes on the first day of school because of mandrake..."

Several people chatted enthusiastically and gradually turned to the content of the exam.

But when Deveraux approached, the students around him quickly made way for a large area of ​​​​space as if they were cast under an expulsion spell.

He didn't care about it at all. He had long been accustomed to others treating him as an "unspeakable existence."

Sometimes, he even felt that these misunderstandings were quite convenient-at least no one bothered him.

Fortunately, this situation did not last long.

After a while, Professor Sprout strode over from the lawn.

She still looked like an herbalist, with a patched hat on her messy hair, and her clothes were covered with dirt, but she had a bright smile on her face.

"Students! Let's go to the fourth greenhouse today!"

She greeted everyone with a hearty voice and waved the tool bag in her hand.

"Today, there are some good things for you to open your eyes!"

The students whispered with interest.

Even though they were sixth-grade students, they had only been to the first three greenhouses.

The greenhouses at the back were more dangerous but also more interesting.

Professor Sprout took out a bunch of huge keys from her waist, picked one of them, twisted it gently, and the heavy greenhouse door opened with a "click".

A smell of moist soil and fertilizer came to my face, mixed with a strong floral scent.

Deveraux looked inside and saw huge flowers hanging down, like giant umbrellas hanging upside down from the ceiling.

While the students were whispering around the door, Deveraux quietly approached Professor Sprout and just got within three meters of her.

System! Copy entries!

[Ding! ]

[Loading copy entries: Herbal Talent (Purple)...]

[Copying completed! ]

In an instant, a large amount of basic knowledge related to herbs poured into Deveraux's mind.

He felt that his mind was refreshed as if it had been injected with living water, and even found that the capacity of these knowledge far exceeded the experience-based entries copied from Madam Pomfrey.

If compared with Dumbledore's [Alchemical Genius], although it is slightly inferior in "quality", it is almost the same in terms of knowledge.

The professor's purple entry is indeed well-deserved!

The sudden impact of information made Deveraux's body shake, his feet slipped, and he almost fell into the flowerpot next to him.

He quickly adjusted his breathing and forced himself to practice Zen meditation to stabilize his mind.

Someone behind him supported Deveraux.

"Are you okay?"

A voice came from behind.

Deverot looked up and saw Percy Weasley, Ron's third brother and one of Gryffindor's outstanding students.

"It's okay."

Deverot nodded slightly, a little surprised. He thought Percy would follow the crowd and isolate himself, but he didn't expect that he would take the initiative to reach out and help him.

But he was slapped in the face the next second.

Percy let go of Deverot's hand with a cold face.

He turned around and walked with the other people who looked at Deverot with strange eyes.

"The Dark Lord is nothing, right? If I hadn't helped him just now, he would have fallen."

Percy said with a smile to them.

"Yes, Percy, you are the one who can get the fourth place in the duel competition. It's a pity not to be an Auror to catch these dark wizards in the future!"

"Yes, yes, and I think in two years, even Harris should not be your opponent!"

Percy was very happy when he heard it, but he pretended to be humble.

On the surface, he still had to give the current student union president some face.

"No, no, I can't surpass Luke no matter how hard I try in my life. He is going to be an Auror."

Deverot's mouth twitched.

He was a little speechless about this man.

It seems that Percy's official style has been revealed since his student days.

He is indeed a typical bureaucrat, even his modest appearance reveals a strong sense of hypocrisy.

He likes to look very powerful in front of others.

Professor Sprout arranged the students to stand in front of a flower pot, each of which was empty, waiting for today's practical task to start.

Deverot's position was facing Percy Weasley, and the two looked at each other across the flower pot.

Professor Sprout stood in the middle of the greenhouse, with the tool kit placed on the bench in front of her.

She opened the tool kit with a smile on her face, took out three herbs from it, and spread them on the bench.

Deveraux took a quick glance and instantly recognized the names of the three herbs. This was not his own ability, but the [Herb Talent] entry he had just copied took effect, as if this knowledge had already settled in his mind.

Deveraux was surprised to find that there was even a Sirius grass in it.

Professor Sprout glanced at the students and asked a question.

"Before today's practical class begins, let's review the content of the last class. Who can tell me which herb can be used to treat dragon pox?"

The answer suddenly appeared in Deveraux's mind, but he did not raise his hand in a hurry. Instead, he recalled the miserable condition of the patients with dragon pox seen in St. Mungo's, and he shuddered.

At this time, Percy on the opposite side raised his hand high, and his movement was so fast that he almost hit the glasses of the classmate next to him.

"The herb for treating dragon pox is agave, which has extremely strong antiviral and immune-enhancing effects, and can help patients recover faster!"

Professor Sprout nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile.

"Very correct! Mr. Weasley, your performance in class is always impressive, five points for Gryffindor!"

Next, the professor continued to ask questions, and Percy answered them at lightning speed, and each time was perfect.

"Another correct answer! Five more points for Gryffindor!"

"Very detailed answer, Mr. Weasley, five more points!"

In just a few minutes, Percy had won twenty points for Gryffindor. The students of Lion Academy burst into cheers.

"Percy is worthy of being a prefect, it's different!"

"Yes, he won the fourth place in the duel last week, and defeated several Slytherins personally, it's really refreshing!"

"Percy is really a rare person who can learn and practice at the same time, so amazing!"

Percy also responded very officially to these compliments.

Let everyone be low-key.

Deveraux's mouth twitched when he saw his reaction.

No wonder Fred and George always complained about Percy.

If he was like this at home, they would blow up his door.

Just as he was complaining, Professor Sprout suddenly showed a mysterious smile, picked up a herb from the stool, and held it high.

"Very good, it seems that the students have memorized the content of the previous review, so we will start the new content. Now I have a herb that was newly discovered by the magic world a month ago. I want to see who pays more attention to current affairs news. I will give 20 points to those who can recognize this herb!"

All of them were eager to try.

But looking at the herb in Professor Sprawni's hand, they had no clue.

Even Percy frowned and stared at it without raising his hand to answer.

The whole greenhouse was so quiet that only the slight rustling of plants could be heard.

It was completely different from the cheering for Percy just now.

And at this time, a little hand was raised.

(Fourth update! There will be another update in the afternoon!)
