After the Charms class was the Herbal Medicine class. Charles and his classmates went to the first greenhouse outside the castle for class.
Professor Sprout glanced at Seamus in particular when he was talking about precautions, and the next words seemed to be specifically addressed to him: "The current course does not require the use of wands. Please put your wands away and do not take them out easily.
."
Obviously, Seamus' performance in the Charms class has quickly spread among the professors. I am afraid that Professor Sprout also knows that he blew up his quilt last night.
The greenhouse is full of delicate flowers and tender grass, and it is also responsible for providing funding for Hogwarts. If it explodes, the damage will be huge.
The first class of herbal medicine is to get to know the various herbs that we will learn this school year. We first have a rough idea of what they are called and what their effects are. Then we start to learn how to plant and cultivate them in the second class.
"Mr. Potter," Professor Sprout suddenly said, "Do you like fresh food?"
Everyone was just listening to the professor describing the characteristics of a plant called devil's net. Now they all followed the professor's gaze and found that classmate Harry was carefully observing a pot of green and white vegetables, so seriously that his glasses were glued to the leaves.
.
"Ah?!" Harry suddenly noticed that the professor and others were looking at him. He was startled and said hurriedly: "I'm sorry, I just think it looks familiar. I think I've seen it in the garden of Charles's house, and the smell is very similar.
I just don’t know if it tastes like it.”
After hearing this, Charles pretended to say: "I thought it was very similar just now. Someone gave it to my grandfather. He said that if he was injured, smash it and apply it on the wound. It would heal quickly. It could also be eaten raw. You could plant some in the garden.
It’s just that the fertilizer smells bad.”
Professor Sprout said with a helpless look: "Alas... Another wizard gave away magical herbs to others at will. Fortunately, they were just fresh herbs and not other dangerous plants."
Then her tone became stern: "I am here to remind everyone that you must not give potions to ordinary people at will in the future, as it may have irreparable consequences!"
"For example, the devil's net I just introduced is very similar to the crab claw plant that can swing its tentacles. There have been many tragedies in which wizards mistakenly sent devil's net and caused the death of others!"
Then Professor Sprout walked up to Bai Xian and said: "Bai Xian is the herb that I will introduce later. It is also the herb that everyone learns to grow first this school year. Let me introduce it now."
"Bai Xian is distributed in a wide range, and even animals will chew it up and apply it on their wounds."
"But the white flowers that grow naturally in the wild are very thin and have very low efficacy. They need to use dragon dung or moon beast dung as fertilizer to make them thrive."
"It can heal wounds quickly, especially the refined essential oil. Professor Snape will talk about how to refine it in the Potions class this school year. It can treat many serious wounds without leaving scars. It is also effective when eaten raw.
It can treat relatively shallow wounds that are not serious."
Harry suddenly realized when he heard that. No wonder Mr. Smith would let him eat fresh white salad every time he was injured. After eating, his injuries would heal after he took a nap.
After the herbal medicine class, Charles found Professor Sprout and asked a question that the professor did not expect: "I saw a field south of the greenhouse that was full of weeds. Can I cultivate it to plant some white flowers?"
Herbal medicine?"
Professor Sprout smiled and asked him: "Are you interested in herbal medicine?"
Charles replied: "I have always liked growing plants."
Professor Sprout smiled and said: "If you clean up that field, I think Professor Dumbledore will beat you."
Charles was stunned, and immediately understood what she meant, and asked in disbelief: "Is this some kind of herbal medicine?"
"That's right." A bright smile appeared on Professor Sprout's face, "If you can identify all the herbs outside the greenhouse and find the real wasteland, I can give you permission to open up wasteland yourself and allow you to use the fertilizer here.
."
Charles immediately agreed and walked around the greenhouse first, taking note of the plants he saw.
There was only one History of Magic class in the afternoon. He asked Percy about some illustrated books on herbalism during lunch. After lunch, he hurried to the library to borrow two books, and then the History of Magic class turned into a Herbalism class.<
/p>
The herbs that can be planted outside the greenhouse are all non-dangerous herbs, so the search scope has been greatly narrowed, and the harvest will be obtained soon.
The plant that Charles regarded as a weed is called goldenrod. The part above the ground looks ordinary, but the underground part has finger-thick taproots that can exceed one meter.
The juice extracted from its root system can be used as the main medicine to prepare a special potion for treating suppuration, and the longer it grows, the better the effect. Those outside the greenhouse look older than Harry and Ron combined.
Most of the medicinal parts of other herbs are roots. The next page records another herb grown outside the greenhouse called "Purple Flower Grape". The underground roots have a round ball like a bunch of grapes.<

It is a powerful laxative. The roots can be sliced, dried and ground into powder, which can be used directly to treat constipation or as an auxiliary drug for treating intestinal parasites.
In the evening, Charles continued his careful study at the table in the Gryffindor common room.
He drew a map outside the greenhouse and marked the names of the herbs he found one by one.
The Weasley twins originally wanted to study the bag with him, but seeing how focused he was, they stopped interrupting and sat aside to wait for him to finish.
Charles found half of the herbal medicines in the two books, put down the pen, stretched, and planned to change two more books tomorrow.
At this time, a glass of pumpkin juice appeared in front of him, and Fred asked mysteriously: "Are you trying to steal the herbs?"
George said: "All the good things are in the greenhouse."
It can be seen that the two of them have done a lot of things to the greenhouse.
Charles took a sip of pumpkin juice and told them that he wanted to get a piece of wasteland to grow things.
Fred asked him doubtfully: "Why do you think so?"
After putting down the empty cup, Charles said: "I think it's interesting to grow those magical plants."
He couldn't say that if the sky fell in the future, Harry would be the one to bear it, so he could just farm to pass the time if he had nothing to do.
Fred and George looked at each other, and then said one after another: "Would you like to grow some valuable herbs?"
"We can help."
Charles shook his head. He just wanted to plant it for fun. He planned to grow some beautiful-looking and not difficult herbs.
If he wanted to make money, he would contract a piece of land with Dumbledore, then get a walking tractor to plow the land, and plant whatever was valuable.
Electrical appliances are not allowed in Hogwarts, so a purely mechanical walking tractor should not be a problem.
At worst, we can wait until the Weasley family's flying car comes, and it would be a good idea to capture it and use it to cultivate the fields.
If it doesn’t work, there’s still classmate Simo.
At this time Percy came over and Dumbledore invited him.
