The Potions Championship is over, and Charles' life at Hogwarts is on track.
For him, there are four things he needs to do: Sweep's potion flow chart, planting the seedlings of flowers and plants in the second greenhouse into the ground, destroying the Acromantula's nest in the Forbidden Forest, and seeing
house.
The weather has warmed up tomorrow, and the Acromantula is cleaning up its nest to prepare the eggs. Snape can take his time with his work. Fudge is willing to help inquire about buying a house. He can take advantage of that little time to buy the flowers he has been thinking about.
Plant the grass and go east.
The area where the garden is located had been burned down before, and the soil was plowed once with a soil-loosening spell. After a winter and half of a spring, seeds brought by the wind and bird droppings caused weeds to sprout up again.
Come on.
Now you need to weed first, then divide the area, then apply base fertilizer, plow the ground again and water according to the situation before transplanting the seedlings.
The land was 50 meters square, and Charles felt that since he was such a good student, it wouldn't be a problem to expand the area in the future.
During Charles's trip to Africa, the plants in the greenhouse were taken care of by the Navigators.
The moondew flower seeds ordered by Charles were not delivered to Hogwarts until he went to Africa, and Neville helped to raise the seedlings. Now they can be transplanted.
At noon on the first Saturday after returning from Africa, Charles, Neville, and Seamus went to the site of the future garden together and began to divide the area with ropes and red lime lines.
"I see." Neville touched Charles with his arm, "They are coming tomorrow too."
Charles thought he had seen a lot, but he still felt amazing when he saw Malfoy squatting in the fields with Crabbe and Goyle to help weed the grass.
"Isn't that a good thing?" Charles thought of the Malfoy family's behavior. "Anyone who is willing to help is a good boy."
Seamus said disdainfully: "He doesn't want to get along with that kind of person."
Charles smiled and said to him: "He will definitely be willing to make friends with Seamus Finnigan, the recipient of the Order of Merlin, First Class."
Seamus looked disgusted.
"Come on," said Charles, "just treat them as good-hearted people before they do bad things."
After he finished speaking, he went over to greet Malfoy and the others.
Malfoy looked very nervous when he saw Charles coming over. He forced a stiff smile on his face and responded very deliberately.
Crabbe and Goyle continued to squat aside, using small shovels to shovel out the newly emerged weeds, not daring to raise their heads.
Charles chatted with him about the weather for two minutes, thanked them for their help, and then went about his own business.
It can be seen that what Xiao Ma is doing now is definitely not taught by Lan Xi, just because of that large medal.
Malfoy looked relieved, hesitated for a moment, and continued to weed.
Charles and the others began to lay out the lines. According to the design, the flower belt was arranged in a ring within a ring. There was a circular lawn with a diameter of 6 meters in the middle, where a pavilion was about to be planted. Outside, there were grass paths every 2 meters apart, each with a circle of more than 1 meter.
The wide flower belt has seven layers in total, and the entire garden has a channel with a Union Jack pattern.
Nearly 60 kinds of plants that glow at night will be planted in different areas of the flower belt. Dwarf moon dew flowers are used to divide the areas, and grasses that are resistant to trampling will be planted in other places. There are not many plants collected in the Forbidden Forest now, and the remaining ones have already been collected.
Entrust friends such as Fang Xiang, Furong, Valentina and Lily to purchase luminous plants suitable for growing there.
It was estimated that it would take two years to complete the entire garden.
Now the only people who are really helping Charles build the garden are Neville and Seamus. Neville has become interested in growing plants, and Seamus is just helping his friends. Secondly, the professors have repeatedly hinted that Charles will lead him to a place that will not explode.
field.
The three of them started to live. Charles first nailed a wooden stick in the center, and then Neville held it. Then he tied a rope and used a measuring tape to measure different lengths for Seamus to hold as a human compass. He was behind Seamus.
The place was marked with talcum powder, and everything used was ready for the Christmas holidays.
The work of laying out the line was very simple, it was less than 1,500 meters and was completed in half a day.
The total area of all the flower belts is about 450 square meters, and it requires 3 meters of dragon manure compost. Calculated by the leg carts on the greenhouse side, it takes about 15 carts.
At that time, Malfoy and the others had a lot of help. Each person only needed two or three trips, and they were done by noon.
Seeing that lunch time was coming and Charles had no intention of leaving, Malfoy was a little hesitant to ask to leave. Crabbe and Goyle looked at him.
Charles asked Malfoy: "They are going to have a barbecue, will I come?"
The long-term workers helped the landlord, and the landlord provided food for them. Objectively, those three guys helped a lot, so they deserved to be treated to a meal.
Malfoy hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
Charles took a few of them to the edge of the Forbidden Forest. He took out a barbecue and charcoal by the water, and a basket of potatoes and vegetables, and asked them to peel the potatoes and light up the charcoal fire.
"We'll wait," said Charles, "while he goes to get some meat."
Navima said: "Is it against school rules to enter the Forbidden Forest?"
Charles smiled and replied: "Mei Xingxi, is he allowed?"
After saying that, he took out his broomstick and flew into the Forbidden Forest.
Malfoy said thoughtfully from the side: "He heard from his father that Smith is now an official of the Ministry of Magic."
Everyone in the Ministry of Magic knows about the replacement of the director of the Centaur Liaison Office, but the name Charles Smith is also popular among the public, and no one pays attention to that marginal department. No one knows that the director is not a first-year student at Hogwarts.
.
The Ma family is well-informed, so Lan naturally knows who the new director is.
If that was too outrageous, both Neville and Seamus thought the pony was talking in his sleep.
Charles returned shortly afterwards with a large bundle of spider legs.
Is he now afraid of falling out with Hagrid and bringing the lawsuit to the Ministry of Magic?
Tomorrow's spider legs are cut into small pieces and shelled, brushed with oil and sprinkled with some mixed spices brought back from Africa. Wrap them with potato skins and vegetables in aluminum foil and put them over a charcoal fire until the meat in the middle is just cooked.
The Malfoy trio carefully tasted the local delicacies of Hogwarts, compared to those who had just stepped over the food order and ate happily.
The Ruby guy not only came over by himself, but also called Fox over.
Charles looked at the two phoenixes and wondered if they could be bred together and how many eggs would they have?
But he couldn't figure out the gender of Ruby and Fox. He couldn't tell from their appearance. As for their body shape, it had no reference value as to whether Ruby was fat or not.
After several people finished their lunch, they continued to work, spreading the dragon dung compost evenly into the flower ribbons. Charles sprinkled some Muggle compound fertilizer into it and went out for an afternoon.
At noon the next day, a group of people were shocked when they arrived there, because a two-meter-wide and one-meter-deep ditch appeared overnight on the outermost edge of the flower belt, and there was a passage to the east near the greenhouse.
.
Charles just smiled. It was not easy to dig out nearly 300 cubic meters of soil using the Flying Curse last night using the time turner.
He didn't think about how to water the water at first. Last night during dinner, he decided to build a ditch outside to draw water from a nearby river. First, he would grow some aquatic plants, and secondly, he would ensure the soil moisture, and maybe raise some small fish.
After returning to the east, he began to use the soil plowing and loosening spell that he had just learned. The soil was constantly turning, and all the fertilizer spread on the ground yesterday was pressed down to a depth of about 30cm.
Neville and the others moved the plants they planned to plant out of the second greenhouse and placed them in the garden in a place that Charles had marked. They would first adapt to the climate outside and then plant them in the ground over the weekend.
That morning, Ruby's dinner was particularly sumptuous.
After eating and drinking, Fat Phoenix burped.
Charles took out a special backpack for it to carry on its back, and Fat Phoenix felt something was wrong.
Three days later, in a middle school in the mountains of southern China, Ruby, who had lost two kilograms, fell on the playground, and recess exercises had to be terminated.
