A day at Hogwarts

Chapter 45 Continuing to grow vegetables

People bond after going through a few things together, especially Ron saving Hermione with the Flying Charm.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have snarled at you in Charms class."

"It's my fault. I shouldn't speak ill of you."

...

Charles held a glass of pumpkin juice and watched Hermione and Ron apologize to each other there, with a relieved smile on his face, it seemed that he didn't need to preach to the children.

Not long after, Eleanor came over, held Hermione for a check, and finally felt relieved: "I was scared to death, when I heard that you were blocked by a troll, my heart almost stopped."

As she spoke, she took out a lipstick and stuffed it into Hermione's hand, then whispered something in her ear.

The corner of Charles' mouth twitched when he saw it. The outer shell of the thing was lipstick, but inside it was a small glass bottle containing some explosive liquid potions. It could be thrown out when necessary, and the range of Hermione's arm strength was smaller than the killing radius.

The hustle and bustle subsided, and the dormitory was quiet except for Seamo's snoring.

Charles lay on the bed, thinking about the relationship between what Voldemort was going to do today and the armor on the troll.

In battle, armor is far more important than weapons. It is not unreasonable to hide weapons in ancient times, but hiding armor is tantamount to rebellion.

Just like the one on the troll today, Seamus roasted the troll until it was fully matured. It is said that the armor is fine. If it is replaced by other spells, it may resist several times, enough for it to rush over and give the wizard a stick.

The problem is, the trolls certainly don't make their own armor, so who would make it for them, and for what purpose?

Charles originally planned to write a letter to talk to the old man about this, but he gave up in the end. It is estimated that the old man will read the letter after finishing this round, write the letter after another round, and send it after another round. At that time, it will be Christmas It's all here.

The sky was falling and Dumbledore was supporting him, so Charles decided not to think about it so much and go to sleep.

After entering November, the weather quickly cooled down.

Charles sent a batch of arrows, axes and pumpkins as high as mountains to the centaur tribe in exchange for some herbs.

After finishing this work, he still has other things to do. The second greenhouse is as warm as spring. The plants that were cut before have basically survived, and now they have sprouted.

Problems also followed. There were insects in the soil of the greenhouse, and insect eggs were hidden in the bark of the branches. Now small insects will climb on the shoots.

Charles now comes to the second greenhouse to take good care of the flowers and plants whenever he is free. First, he uses the soft leg spell to make the bugs fall, and then uses a small shovel to get them into an empty flower pot. After collecting them, he buries them in the middle of the dragon dung compost. Warm enough to kill the bugs.

This day he got some small colored flags, selected a few pots of each plant, marked them and started to measure the data.

Professor Sprout came behind him at some point, and when he saw that he was busy, he didn't bother, and started busy with his own affairs.

After a while, the professor found that Charles had put a white crystal into the flowerpot, so he asked curiously, "Charles, what are you putting in?"

Charles immediately replied: "Professor, I'm trying to see if Muggle fertilizer can make the plants grow better."

He has chemical fertilizers for the flower garden at home, and he brought some over to try when he went back last time.

Professor Sprout said with a smile: "There have been students who have done similar things before."

Charles was not surprised by this, and others could think of what he could think of, so he asked curiously, "How did it turn out?"

Professor Sprout replied: "It looks good, but it's not effective enough to make potions."

Charles nodded slightly after hearing this, and quickly figured out the reason.

Magic plants also need nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, just like wizards also need to eat, but they also need other nutrients, which nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium cannot provide.

The plants in the greenhouse will use the dung of dragons and moon monsters as fertilizer. Dragons and moon monsters are magical animals, and their dung will carry some kind of magic power.

Using the feces of magical animals as fertilizer can not only provide ordinary nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium to magic plants, but also provide magic nutrients that nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium do not have, making magic plants magical.

There is no conflict between ordinary fertilizers and magic fertilizers. If magic plants are money bags containing gold coins, ordinary fertilizers can make the bags bigger, and magic fertilizers can make the bags contain more gold coins. Generally speaking, they can generate higher returns. .

Charles told Professor Sprout what he had thought of. After thinking for a while, the professor said to him: "You are right, I think you can try it. I still have some seeds of Chinese biting cabbage here." , you can plant it here."

"You have to pay attention, it will bite people when it grows up. At that time, you need to wear dragon leather gloves, and you can't plant it outside."

After Professor Sprout finished speaking, he put a small bag on the table over Charles.

After thanking the professor, Charles found a bottle and poured the seeds into it, then soaked it in water at about 30°C.

He prepared more than 20 empty flower pots, used dragon manure and some chemical fertilizers as the base fertilizer, and planted 1 seed in each flower pot after the seeds were soaked for a few hours.

Then it’s just a matter of waiting. Chinese cabbage takes 5 to 7 days to germinate. About 1 month later, nitrogen and potassium fertilizers are applied at the rosette stage, and nitrogen and potassium fertilizers are applied again at the beginning of the balling stage. During this period, dragon manure and moon chi Animal manure is watered after watering, and the old leaves at the bottom must be removed.

"Professor," Charles asked again during the work, "may I grow some mandrakes?"

Professor Sprout's expression became serious: "The Mandrake is very dangerous, and it will kill people if you are not careful."

Charles replied: "Mandrakes can be used to make antidotes and healing agents. The centaurs want some, so I want to plant them."

Having said that, in fact, he just thought that he seemed to have entered into some misunderstandings in some respects.

It's refreshing to lick the ground with firepower when dealing with acromantulas, but it's also good to airdrop Mandrakes.

Although spiders don't have ears, they have other ways of hearing, and it's likely that the mandrake would have affected them as well.

Moreover, the mandrake can be recycled and reused. When using it, there is no need to worry about side effects such as forest fires, let alone leaving traces. It is cheap and environmentally friendly. Whoever chooses it.

Professor Sprout thought for a while, and what Charles said made a little sense, so he said: "Mandrakes need to be planted for a year to mature, and it is too late to plant them now. There are some in the nearby greenhouse that will mature next spring. Me and Let me tell you, the principal, it should be sold to a horseman."

Then she added: "You can grow mandrakes too, but the first planting must be done under my strict guidance, and if something goes wrong I will forbid you to touch them again."

Charles immediately thanked: "Thank you, Professor!"

By the time he was done with everything and it was dinner time, the guy smelled like dragon dung compost.

Perhaps it was because of the magic power of dragon dung, but the cleaning spell didn't work, and everyone was immediately isolated.

Not only the other students, but even Voldemort, who was surrounded by the smell of garlic, couldn't stand this guy, so he was put in confinement half an hour in advance and got out early.

When Charles returned to the common room, someone immediately pinched his nose and pulled him out: "Come on, I'll take you to the prefect's bathroom."
