The Bard at Hogwarts

In front of him was a different Slytherin than before.

Neville recognized the other person as the person Ron once said in the dormitory, a person worse than Malfoy.

Thinking of Malfoy, Neville shivered subconsciously.

Seeing this scene, Ino couldn't help but sigh.

He reached into the pocket of his robe and rummaged through it, then took out a berry he had eaten in the valley.

"Look, I have all the seeds ready, it's this berry."

As he said that, he put the berries in the palm of his hand and spread them out for Neville to see.

Ino did not invite Neville to taste it, not because he was stingy, but in the magical world, eating food from strangers is a very dangerous thing.

If you really invite Neville to taste it, it might stimulate him even more.

Here, Neville also stared blankly at the palms spread out in front of his eyes, and an emerald green berry came into view.

a long time.

"It kind of looks like a fig, but I haven't seen it, so I can't be sure."

Neville said in a low voice, seeming to feel that this answer was a bit perfunctory, so he quickly added:

"However, this type of plant generally likes a cool and moist environment. You may consider digging some moist soil near the black lake..."

Neville finished his opinion in a fitful breath, and then quickly lowered his head like a child who had done something wrong.

However, Ino had no intention of giving up just yet, and instead praised him in an exaggerated tone.

"Thank you mate! This has been a big help to me. By the way, my name is Ino, Ino Swinburne, and as you can see, I'm also a Slytherin."

Faced with this sudden kindness, Neville did not react for a long time.

After a while, a weak voice sounded:

"My name is Neville Longbottom and I am Gryffindor."

Ino didn't pay attention to the other person's voice. He knew very well that a child like this who was bullied to the point of being autistic would be pretty good if he was willing to speak.

"Can I call you Neville? You know, I have a lot of shortcomings about planting, and I may come to you for advice on planting in the future."

"I don't really understand either." Neville said softly.

"I really don't understand it very well. Although I have always taken care of my grandma's garden at home, and the flowers grow beautifully, I really don't have much advanced knowledge."

After he finished speaking, he raised his head cautiously, as if he was afraid of being offended for speaking inappropriately.

"Hahahaha, that's enough! This is not a precious herb, it's just a berry." Ino said with a smile.

…

Half an hour later.

Ino held two pottery pots filled with damp soil and walked towards the castle.

He didn't chat much with Neville. Talking too much in the first exchange would be counterproductive.

Likewise, he made no promises to Neville, such as stopping Malfoy's behavior.

The reason is also very simple. If Neville does not change himself, even if there is no Malfoy, other people will appear in the future.

People's bad nature will make them subconsciously classify similar people into different classes. While trying to please those who are stronger than themselves, they will also find someone who is not as good as themselves or someone who is easy to bully, and then they will take pleasure in making fun of the weak.

This is the nature of ordinary fools, and no one can change it.

And all he could do was to help Neville regain his inner courage and confidence as soon as possible, nothing more.

After all, he couldn't take care of Neville for the rest of his life.

With this thought in mind, Ino also walked into the castle gate.

Along the way, he was more or less eye-catching.

Think about it, a fair and beautiful boy holding two huge flower pots in his arms looks a bit pleasant no matter how you look at it.

Of course, there's nothing wrong with being a strong spectator. You can watch if you like. He can't influence other people's gaze.

But some senior senior students always look at them with meaningful eyes, which makes people feel a bit like a ray of light on their backs.

Under this abnormal scrutiny, Ino couldn't help but quicken his pace.

"Pure blood!"

After saying the correct password to the stone wall, before the wall could completely crack, he entered Slytherin's dormitory in a flash.

'call! ’

However, before he could take a breath, he heard a crisp voice coming from behind him.

"Mr. Swinburne! Are you planning to plant potted plants?"

…

A corner of the common room.

Pansy sat on the sofa bored, chatting with a few girls around her who were qualified to be her friends.

When the girls get together, the content of the chat is actually similar to that of the boys. Except for some hot gossip in the castle at the moment, the only thing left is to talk about the boys.

However, all this chatting came to an abrupt end after Ino entered the common room. Everyone's eyes lit up, but there was no other follow-up action.

In fact, from here, we can see the ubiquitous level of Slytherin. Just like in the original book, it is impossible for Malfoy to have only Pansy by his side.

However, in fact, there is only Pansy. It is not that the other girls are unwilling, but that the strict hierarchy has been deeply rooted in the bones. Unless you are a follower, it is difficult to be friends as equals, let alone love.

Exactly at this moment.

In the small circle in the corner, only Pansy stood up and walked forward to say hello.

After hearing the sound, Ino also stopped and turned around slowly.

"Good afternoon, Miss Parkinson!"

"Do you want to plant potted plants?" Pansy asked curiously.

"They can't get sunlight in the dormitory, and I happen to have a book about sunlight spells at home, maybe I can lend it to you."

This kind of polite curiosity always makes people feel good.

Of course, Ino has not forgotten Pansy's arrogance and arrogance when she scolded Goyle.

But all this has nothing to do with him. Instead, Pansy has always been polite to him.

Thinking of this, Ino plans to accept the other party's intention.

"If you can, that would be the best! Thank you for your generosity, Miss Parkinson."

"Hahaha, just wait for my news, before Christmas at the latest."

Pansy's reaction was a little unexpected. It was obviously a gift, but it gave people a feeling of receiving benefits. It was a little weird no matter how you look at it.

But Ino was too lazy to guess what the other party was thinking.

It was nothing more than seeing that he and Malfoy were in the same dormitory. Maybe he could help to make connections and get some words in the future. It was not a big deal.

"Thank you in advance, I will prepare gifts for you for Christmas, but I need to put them back in the dormitory first."

Ino said, looking at the two flower pots in his arms, the meaning was self-evident.

"Go! Plant the seeds first, I will write to my family soon, and won't let you wait too long."

...

In the dormitory.

Looking at the two ceramic flower pots on the table, Ino gradually fell into deep thought.

Today's experience was a fantasy for him, from the conversation with Professor Flitwick after the spell class in the morning, to the encounter with Quirrell by the forbidden forest, and then to Neville near the greenhouse.

Things happened one after another, and I always felt that the past month combined was not as much as today.
