Chapter 32: calm life

　　 Theodor Knott’s second hospitalization did not cause much disturbance at Hogwarts.
　　On the one hand, most students in other colleges are not aware of this matter.
　　 On the other hand, the Slytherin students who knew about it also agreed with the explanation given by Madam Pomfrey. They all think that Knott's accident happened only because he didn't "follow the doctor's advice."
　　 And with the passage of time, the influence of the previous attack began to gradually decrease. Everyone gradually forgot about it, and Hogwarts returned to peace again.
　　 The same life as usual continued, except for the boys’ dormitory in Slytherin, which once again became Matthew Wickfield alone, which of course is a good thing.
　　 It's just that Matthew did not forget the phrase "it is still here" that Nott said before he fainted.
　　 Through these words, Matthew guessed that the book should still be in his bedroom.
　　 He searched the entire bedroom again very carefully, but unfortunately he still found nothing.
　　 And in the next few days, the book still did not appear.
　　 seems to have left himself forever.
　　 But since it has been reluctant to show up, Matthew will not intimidate himself, and still faces his new life calmly.
　　……
　　 The second week of the course was pretty smooth.
　　 In the herbal medicine class, Professor Sprout began to take them into the greenhouse, although it was only the first greenhouse with the least dangerous and rare plants.
　　 The students were very excited at first, but after entering the greenhouse, they were very disappointed to find that there were only various mushrooms in it.
　　 Seeing everyone not looking eagerly, Professor Sprout said to them earnestly:
　　 "When you meet a strange plant, judging whether it is a threat to you is the first and most important thing..."
"By familiarizing and distinguishing various mushrooms, you will lay a good foundation for your ability to judge plants in the future. After all, whether mushrooms have a threat is the most obvious, and as long as you don’t eat them, they will not Do any harm to you."
Then, Professor Sprout drew a pie with them: "From the next semester, I will show you more magical plants, their habits and appearance... And by the second grade, you will Enter the third greenhouse and really come into contact with those dangerous magic plants."
　　 In this way, the enthusiasm of everyone in the herbal medicine class is slightly higher.
　　 In the spell class, it is about the content of the "hovering spell".
　　 This is not a simple spell, at least for most students.
　　 However, Matthew mastered it relatively quickly.
　　 Except for Hermione Granger of Ravenclaw, he is the second student in the class to successfully complete the spell.
　　 It’s just that after mastering the "Hovering Curse" proficiently, Matthew can be sure that this spell alone can never send an adult wizard to the sky after sliding the shovel.
　　Because its power is far from enough, at least a more advanced "floating spell" is needed to do it.
　　 In the second potions class of this semester, Professor Slughorn gave Matthew a thumbs up many times and praised him at the end of the class.
　　 Moreover, he also gave the pot of "swelling potion" prepared by Matthew Wickfield and Neville Longbottom, with a very high evaluation.
　　 Although Matthew felt that Neville's contribution to this pot of potion should be greater than his own.
　　 And he guessed that Professor Slughorn’s attitude towards him was getting better and better, which might have something to do with Draco Malfoy’s absence in this classroom because of the accident.
　　 And Harry Evans's performance is still terrible, he made many mistakes, and was directly criticized by Professor Slughorn as a "typical".
　　 After Professor Slughorn announced the end of get out of class, he fled the potions classroom with a look of shame, leaving only his companion Ronald Weasley to clean up the cauldron by himself.
　　 The Dark Arts Defense class is still extremely strict.
　　Professor Rozier no longer disrupts the order of the textbook list~EbookFREE.me~ but starts from the first chapter of "Black Magic·Self-Defense Guide"
　　 What they are learning is "Petrification Charm".
　　 This is the simplest and practical defensive spell, and it is also one of the few defensive spells that can be mastered by freshmen.
　　 Professor Rozier did not allow them to practice in this class.
　　 Instead, they were forced to write down all the skills and precautions for the petrification spell.
　　 And at the end of class, she once again arranged a two-foot-long paper.
　　……
　　 The second week of studying at Hogwarts ended in this way.
　　Matthew Wickfield only feels that he has gradually become familiar with life at Hogwarts, and is also accustomed to life here, and may still like life here.
　　 "Blood is thicker than blood!" On Friday night, after shouting the password, he entered the Slytherin common room--
　　 Immediately afterwards, Matthew saw the new password for the next two weeks on the bulletin board:
　　 "Noble ambition!"
　　 After writing down the password in his notebook, he walked into his bedroom.
　　 However, Matthew, who had just entered the bedroom, suddenly realized that something was wrong
　　In the dark bedroom, on his desk, something is shining!
　　 He took small steps and walked over, only to find that it was the parchment of "after-school practice".
　　 There is a faint green light on it, because a line of writing has appeared:
　　"To the Slytherin Boys Group,
　　 This Saturday, 4:30 in the morning,
　　 The hut by the forbidden forest,
　　Don't be late!
　　Professor Sivanos Kettleborn"
