Two Worlds: I studied abroad at Hogwarts

Chapter 49 The Threshold of the Herbal Club
After Herbology class on Monday afternoon, Moon was given detention by Professor Sprout.

"It seems I greatly underestimated your talent in plant magic."

Sprout was holding the new wand made by Moon.

She first observed it carefully in her hand, then held the magic wand and pointed it at an orchid on the operating table.

【Orchids in full bloom】

After the spell was chanted, a pure white orchid quietly bloomed.

"Although I don't know how to make it, it is undeniable that it is indeed a qualified wand."

Sprout gave the most pertinent assessment.

The wand body is made of magical plants stimulated by magic potions, and the wand core is just unicorn tail hair picked up from the Forbidden Forest.

This has determined that the upper limit of this magic wand will not be very high.

In comparison, the wand he had in Xilin was of an unknown level higher in quality.

"Well, Mr. Scarlett, I think you turned in an almost perfect assignment, but I can't give you any extra credit this time."

Sprout handed the wand back to Moon, wiped his hands on the sides of his apron, and then solemnly took out an invitation.

This was an envelope made of yellow parchment with a green stamp of an unknown plant pattern in the middle.

To Mr. Moon Scarlett

The blue lettering on the envelope looked like it had been written a long time ago.

"Actually, I had prepared this invitation a long time ago, but I really didn't expect that you could complete this impossible task in such a short time."

“Professor, it’s actually your club that has been inspiring me.”

Moon returned the compliment to Sprout intact before taking the envelope and opening it.
-
Dear Mr. Moon Scarlett:
You have completed the task with flying colors, demonstrating your exceptional talent with herbal plants.

We sincerely invite you to join the [Christophaemochia Club].

In addition: The club holds a meeting every Monday at 7pm. Attendance is voluntary. The meeting is located in the third small classroom on the right side of the auditorium.

Pomona Sprout

"How about it, are you interested?" Professor Sprout asked with a smile after Moon finished reading the letter.

"Of course!" Moon replied solemnly, putting the letter in his pocket.

"Okay, believe me, kid. The answer you give tonight will definitely surprise everyone."

Sprout said as he patted Moon's shoulder and went to prepare for tonight's club ceremony.

After Moon left the greenhouse, he went to the library to finish his homework for the day, and then went to the auditorium to eat.

He must leave enough time for club activities.

However, he had just arrived at the auditorium and had not had time to take a few bites when Cedric walked straight over to him.

"The party is at 7pm. If you have nothing else to do, we can go there first."

After hearing what Cedric said, Moon knew that the secretary of the [Christophea Club] had learned the news from Sprout.

"Uh, okay."

Moon swallowed the food hurriedly, wiped his mouth, and followed Cedric away.

"It seems Moon got Professor Sprout's invitation as he wished."

Ron watched Moon leave with some envy, then stuffed another big mouthful of pudding into his mouth.

Hermione, who was sitting next to him, also kept staring at the direction where Moon left. She had stopped turning the pages of the book, and there seemed to be thought and an urgent desire in her eyes.

"I really didn't expect you to finish making the wand so quickly. When Professor Sprout asked me to explain the club rules to you just now, I almost didn't react."

The club classroom was very close to the auditorium, and they had just arrived at the classroom door when Cedric finished speaking.

It was a small, unassuming wooden door, next to which was the staircase leading to the Hufflepuff common room. Cedric pushed the door open and walked in, motioning for Moon to come in as well.

"Actually, I didn't expect that making a wand would be so quick. Maybe I really have a talent for this."

Moon answered before carefully touring the small classroom.

This place is almost a replica of a greenhouse, and the scent of plants and soil fills the entire classroom.

The surrounding walls were covered with unknown vines, and underneath were several long wooden workbenches.

There were plants of various shapes on each workbench, and the fragrance they emitted made Moon feel that the entire classroom was a huge forest.

There was not a single chair in the entire classroom. The walls were covered with plants, and the surrounding workbenches and the table in the middle were also covered with plants.

If Moon were asked to describe this place, it would only be plants, plants, and more plants.

"The club currently has thirty-two members. If we only count students at the school, you're the seventh."

After watching Moon appreciate the environment, Cedric explained the situation of the club.

"Seven people! Isn't that a little too few?"

Moon was about to look at the plants on the operating table. When he heard Cedric say this, he turned his head in confusion.

"It's not too little actually. Think about what the conditions are for you to join."

As soon as Cedric reminded him, Moon reacted.

He was able to join the club because he grew magical plants and then used them to make wands.

It was extremely difficult to accomplish this task. He had four years of planting experience in Xilin Farm, which enabled him to ensure the survival of the saplings.

Then it took three years of wood carving experience, plus a flash of inspiration when making a wand, to complete the first wand.

If joining a club is this difficult, then seven people is not a small number.

As if to prove the club's absolute authority on herbal plants.

Cedric led Moon to the operating table.

"The work on this platform is what each member created when they joined. Each one represents a new discovery and use of herbal plants."

Cedric pointed to a plant with curled leaves.

"This is snail grass, cultivated by Senior Bernard, and the juice it produces is then made into an excellent magical adhesive."

Cedric said as he picked up the clear glass bottle next to the plant. The white label on it read "Bernard Adhesive".

"This adhesive is very sticky and lasts a long time. I heard that the Quidditch Boutique has already invited Senior Bernard to work there as soon as he graduates next year."

"This is the swallowtail flower, which was successfully cultivated by Senior Molinaer and then used to make a uniquely scented incense."

At this point, Cedric suddenly leaned closer and whispered.

"Although the professor doesn't allow this semi-finished incense to enter the market, Senior Molina has secretly given it to several friends to try out, and they're all said to be very satisfied."

"This is the Sleeping Face Fungus. My father and I discovered it during a field expedition. Its spores have a very strong hypnotic effect. That's how I joined the club."

Cedric was a little embarrassed when he introduced his work.

Because compared to other people's plants, they already had usable finished products, and the work he added was simply the discovery of a magical plant that had not yet been registered.

However, Moon did not notice the change in the boy's expression.

After listening to Cedric's story, he finally understood how high the threshold to join the club was and why there were so few people.
