Harry returns from Hogwarts Legacy

Chapter 25 Biting Cabbage
Since it was the first class for freshmen, Professor Sprout did not let the students perform any actual operations, but instead let them learn theoretical knowledge first.

Professor Sprout was very gentle. Perhaps all Herbology professors at Hogwarts were so gentle. When Neville couldn't answer a question, Professor Sprout encouraged and guided him to recall in a soft voice.

Seamus secretly practiced Transfiguration in class and was successful, but he accidentally exploded a pot of Babo tubers when he cast the spell the last time. Fortunately, Harry reacted in time and turned Seamus's scarf into an umbrella to block the splashing pus.

"Very good Transfiguration spell, five points to Gryffindor!" Professor Sprout exclaimed, and then she criticized Seamus harshly.

Just when Seamus was feeling dejected, Professor Sprout took out a small cake from somewhere and handed it to him.

Seamus lowered his head and made a serious promise to Professor Sprout that he would never make trouble in the Herbology class again.

Professor Sprout forgave him and deducted one point from Gryffindor as punishment.

When the get out of class was over, Harry did not leave in a hurry, but stayed in the greenhouse.

"Mr. Potter?" Professor Sprout noticed that Harry had not left. "May I ask you what I can do for you?"

"Professor," Harry organized his words and said, "I saw Chinese biting cabbage in a book and I'm quite interested in this plant, so I wanted to ask if you have any mature Chinese biting cabbage here."

"Chinese biting cabbage is a very dangerous plant." Professor Sprout did not reject Harry directly, but said tactfully: "I think a little wizard of your age is not suitable for cultivating this dangerous plant. You should take a look at the real Chinese biting cabbage, maybe you will change your mind, come with me."

Ron and Neville looked at each other and decided to follow and take a look, and so did Hermione.

Seamus took the cake and went back first. He was a little embarrassed to face Professor Sprout again - after all, he had blown up a Babo tuber.

The four followed Professor Sprout all the way to the second floor of the greenhouse, walked around a clump of trees, and came to an operating table.

On the operating table, there were six cabbages with their mouths wide open and their bodies twisting constantly, ready to bite.

"Look, this is the biting kale." Professor Sprout introduced it to the four people: "The kale in "One Thousand Magical Herbs and Fungi" is not as scary as the real one."

As he spoke, Professor Sprout picked up a branch and placed it in front of a cabbage.

The cabbage twisted its round body and bit the branch tightly.

The branch let out a clear and mournful cry and was bitten in half by the cabbage.

"This temper is too brutal." Hermione frowned, "Harry, I don't think this thing is something we can cultivate now-"

Before she finished her words, she saw Harry stretched out his wand and quickly moved behind Cabbage.

Then Harry reached out for the kale.

"Harry!" she and Ron shouted together. "Take your hands back!"

However, to their surprise, Harry's hand touched Cabbage's body, and Cabbage rubbed his hand like a puppy.

"I think it has a pretty good temper. Do you want to try it?" Harry asked with a raised eyebrow.

Ron showed an obviously interested look and stretched out his hand as well, but unexpectedly Cabbage turned towards him with a sinister smile.

"Forget it." Ron quickly retracted his hand. Cabbage...

Harry patted the cabbage and missed the Chinese dish called "Fried Cabbage" made by Professor Haoying.

"It's amazing." Professor Sprout showed an expression of discovering a new world. "I didn't expect a little wizard of your age to know so much about plants. If this were in class, I would definitely give Gryffindor five points."

Finally, Professor Sprout said, "If you like, I'll give you a smaller one that's less harmful - just don't throw it in your classmates' faces, understand?"

"Thank you, Professor. I won't do that." Harry replied very obediently.

Professor Sprout met those green eyes and smiled.

This child...really looks like Lily.

Harry held a small bowl of kale and left the greenhouse contentedly under Hermione's worried gaze.

"Hope it doesn't bite my Scabbers," Ron muttered, resolving mentally that both he and Scabbers would stay away from the cabbage.

Neville was very concerned about this pot of cabbage. When he had nothing to do, he would fertilize and water the cabbage and ask Harry for advice on herbology.

Harry answered all his questions patiently. As they were roommates, there was no need to hide anything from him.

Speaking of the courses at Hogwarts, the one that Harry is most familiar with is History of Magic taught by Professor Binns.

Professor Binns is a ghost. It is said that Professor Binns fell asleep in front of the fireplace in the faculty lounge and forgot to bring his body with him when he went to class the next morning - yes, he became a ghost in this way.

Professor Binns kept talking in a monotonous voice during the class, and Harry couldn't help feeling sleepy.

It’s so intimate, that’s the feeling.

Harry's eyes moistened.

The spells teacher was an unusually small wizard named Flitwick. During class, he had to stand on a pile of books to reach the desk.

At the beginning of the first class, he took out the roster and called the roll. When he read Harry's name, he screamed excitedly, flipped back and disappeared from his classmates' sight.

Professor Flitwick only taught Lumos in the first class. Most of the students were able to perform this simple magic successfully, but for Harry's Lumos that was like a searchlight, Professor Flitwick still gave Gryffindor five extra points.

What really disappointed Harry was the Defense Against the Dark Arts class.

It should be said that this class disappointed all the students, because Professor Quirrell could only stammer as he told his bad adventures during class, not to mention that the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom was filled with a strong smell of garlic.

According to Professor Quirrell, the garlic is used to get rid of the entanglement of vampires, but the students have different opinions. If silver utensils are used, the effect may be much better than garlic.

In order to prevent the students from continuing to ask questions, Professor Quirrell chose to teach the students a small evil spell - the legs would freeze and stop dead.

This indeed attracted the attention of the students. They no longer worried about why Professor Quirrell exuded such a strong garlic smell, but instead tried hard to learn this little evil spell.
