Hogwarts: What are the four great masters doing?

Chapter 55: Lost Secret Technique? The trio's inquiry!

"No, nothing... ahem, maybe I didn't sleep well last night."

Hearing Professor Sprout's question, Ryan said in a subtle tone.

"Oh, adequate rest is very important for wizards."

Professor Sprout reminded: "Go less night tours."

It was obvious that the professor was no longer surprised by the little wizards' occasional trances.

Soon, she handed Ryan several pots of soil.

"If there's anything you don't understand, you can ask me again."

She said kindly.

Ryan nodded and prepared to pick up the clay basins.

But then he noticed Professor Sprout's subtle expression: "Professor? Perhaps you have something else to say?"

"Um..."

After hearing his question, Professor Sprout's expression became a little embarrassed.

"Actually, Ryan... I heard someone talk about you and Severus... that Potions class..."

She hesitated for a moment, then asked, "I heard you have some materials from ancient magical plants. I mean, maybe..."

"You want their seeds?"

Before she finished speaking, Ryan guessed what she was going to say.

There was no hiding the argument between Ryan and Snape in Potions class during the first week of the term.

Most professors probably knew about this, but Professor Sprout was undoubtedly the one who cared the most.

Potions and herbology are closely related - the disappeared ancient potion materials often correspond to extinct magical plants!

then...

"Of course not—I mean, I do have some plant seeds in my vault."

Ryan didn't hesitate.

In fact, he had prepared some things before coming here today.

"In fact, I have one on me."

He pulled a small bag from the pocket of his wizard robes and handed it to Professor Sprout.

Then, Ryan saw the latter's eyes widen.

"Spores of the Nordic Fire Mushroom?!"

The Hufflepuff Headmaster nearly fell over, but he came to his senses and stood up immediately!

"Merlin's dragon hide socks, I thought they were extinct!"

“So vibrant, so incredible…”

She was so excited that she seemed to want to dance. She kept muttering to herself while holding the bag, as if she had found a treasure.

But soon, she seemed to realize something and looked at Ryan.

"Ryan."

Her voice became a little serious. "You don't intend to make some magical soil and grow the magical plants in your vault, do you?"

"I must remind you that you are still too young, and some magical plants are too dangerous..."

She reminded me so.

Ryan looked at her with a smile: "How could that be, Professor Sprout."

"You're worrying too much."

After saying that, Ryan politely said goodbye to her, then took the pots of soil and left the herbal medicine office.

"..."

At this moment, Professor Sprout was still a little confused.

But soon, she relaxed.

Because as she said - preparing magical soil is a skill that requires a lot of practice to master, especially those powerful magical plants that take a long time to grow.

Apart from the legendary lost unique skills of the Hufflepuff ladies, no one can cross the river of time.

"There shouldn't be any problem. Ryan is a good kid... Geniuses always want to try something different."

She whispered to herself, then looked at the 'Nordic Fire Mushroom Spores' left by Ryan in her hand.

Her expression became as joyful as a child's.

She walked out of the office with light steps and disappeared into the greenhouse.

Soon, the sound of watering kettles and Professor Sprout's cheerful singing could be heard from the greenhouse again.

And obviously.

No one knew what happened in the Herbology office except Ryan and Professor Sprout.

As for Ryan himself, he returned to his dormitory after obtaining the magic soil.

What he said to Professor Sprout came from the heart - Professor Sprout was indeed worrying too much.

Dangerous magical plants?

That doesn't exist - how could there be any danger from magical plants?

"Well, let me see... which ones should I choose?"

So, that day and night.

The stone statue in front of Ryan's dormitory seemed to hear someone's laughter in his sleep.

And in the next few weeks, everything seemed to return to calm.

In addition to attending classes every day, Ryan would occasionally go on night outings with the Geminis and go to the Room of Requirement for exercise, or make an appointment with Cedric to enjoy a meal in the kitchen. Occasionally, he would go to the library to read with Hermione or Qiu Zhang, and occasionally he would sneak out at night to play with the giant squid.

This made him more adaptable to the life of a young wizard.

In addition, there are two small pieces of gossip.

First, after his reminder, Hermione really went to find Ron.

The little witch expressed her anger and sadness to Ron fiercely, and stretched out her wand to cast a spell on him.

Ron was unable to dodge and was knocked down by Hermione on the spot. He was sent to the school hospital and stayed there for a long time.

But after recovering, Ron did not seek revenge on Hermione.

"Okay, that was my fault - I lost control of my emotions... But I have to say, your spell was a bit too strong. Madam Pomfrey's potion is not tasty!"

After this incident, the relationship between the two, which had reached freezing point, became normal.

Second, it is Harry Potter.

The boy who survived had been the focus of attention since he entered the academy, but most of the limelight had been stolen by Ryan before - although Harry himself didn't care too much.

But this time it's different.

After two weeks of assessment by Professor McGonagall, Harry successfully proved his Quidditch talent - he caught the Golden Snitch three times in four consecutive assessments!

"Genius! Potter! You are undoubtedly a genius!"

On the last day of the exam, the usually serious Professor McGonagall was as excited as an old Quidditch girl!

She made an exception and let Harry join the Quidditch team, and personally gave Harry a broom - the latest product in the Nimbus series, the Nimbus 2000!

This made Harry feel honored.

He had been longing for this day ever since he'd visited the trophy room and seen his father's Quidditch trophy.

That evening, Ryan was invited to the Gryffindor lounge to attend a banquet to celebrate Harry's successful passing of the test.

It is worth mentioning that in addition to familiar faces such as Seamus, Neville, and Ron, the attendees even included Hagrid, the gamekeeper who had a very good relationship with Harry.

In such a situation...

After another boring Defense Against the Dark Arts class on Thursday, Ryan had already made up his mind.

"enough."

"We have enough preparations to explore the Forbidden Forest... We will set off tonight."

That's right.

After a period of preparation, his preparations were sufficient.

He planned to go to the Forbidden Forest tonight to look for the possible 'Hufflepuff Nursery'!

But as he pondered his plan to go to the Forbidden Forest tonight...

"Ryan."

A voice came to his ears.

Then he saw Harry, Hermione and Ron walking towards him.

"Brother, we have a question for you - and Hermione thinks you must know the answer!"

Ron's voice reached Ryan's ears, which made Ryan sigh that the other party would definitely be a good professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts - at least his voice was loud and clear enough, far better than Professor Quirrell's stuttering and mosquito-like voice.

As for the content of the class... Quirrell was reading from the textbook anyway, and Ron might be able to do better than him in this regard.

"what is the problem?"

Ryan naturally did not refuse the three people's questions.

He looked at them curiously.

"It's a name... Nicolas Flamel—have you ever heard of that name?"
