Chapter 217: Barbo tuber

Early the next morning, Jon Hart opened his eyes.
He is now in the boys' bedroom in Slytherin...On the ceiling, at the bottom of Hogsmeade Lake, there are a few carps scurrying there; there are also some algae drifting with the waves...
Jon rubbed his eyes and got up from the bed... The other three boys in the same dormitory were still lying on the bed and fell asleep.
Without disturbing them, he tidied them up a bit, and then Jon walked out silently.
In the Slytherin common room, there were not too many people...you could see two or three figures, crowded by the fire, seeming to be discussing something.
Jon walked out of the stone gate and into the corridor of the basement.
Did not take a few steps forward--
By coincidence, he saw Cedric Diggory passing by with the Hufflepuff Quidditch team. Zacharias Smith was walking at the back of the team. He seemed to be dressed as a chaser. ... Jon habitually wanted to say hello to them, but suddenly remembered that his new identity was a freshman in Slytherin, and had to touch his head with his raised hand awkwardly and politely.
Came to the hall, while eating breakfast, Jon looked around casually.
Just when he was about to finish his breakfast, Prefect Pansy Parkinson came over with a school schedule.
"This is your class schedule for this semester, Patrick!" Miss Parkinson said: "In addition, you need to study from the five courses of divination, number divination, protection of magical animals, ancient runes and Muggles. Choose at least two elective courses..."
When it comes to the course of Muggle Research, her face is obviously full of disdain.
Jon thought for a while, and as before, he chose three courses: divination, protection of magical animals, and ancient runes.
Pansy Parkinson took out a quill pen and added a few lines to the class schedule... and then handed the new class schedule to Jon.
"That should be it!" she said.
"Thank you!" Jon nodded, then took the class schedule and swiped his finger across the Monday column of the class schedule.
In the morning, there are two outdoor courses, namely herbal medicine and magical animal protection. The herbal medicine class is taken with Ravenclaw, and the magical animal protection class is taken with Gryffindor.
Herbal medicine class doesn't matter, but Jon is interested in protecting magical animals. What will Umbridge teach them?
In the afternoon, it was going to have two spell lessons with Hufflepuff.
...
At this moment, there was a sudden rustling sound above their heads, and a hundred owls flew in from the open window and brought everyone the morning mail.
Among the piles of brown and gray owls, a white figure is slightly conspicuous.
Many students instinctively raised their heads and took their mail from the owl's "hand".
For example, Draco Malfoy seems to have received sweets and cakes from home again, and is showing off to a few friends around him.
And Harry Potter seems to have received a secret letter, lowering his head and discussing something with Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger.
The snow-white owl flew to the long table in Slytherin, threw a note in front of Jon, and then flew away.
Jon didn't pay attention to it until Owl threw the note over...because he didn't expect anyone to write to himself.
Looking at the note with some surprise, Jon quickly stood up.
At the door of the hall, Astoria Greengrass just walked in.
She seemed to give Jon a blank expression, and then passed him.
...
Following the students of Slytherin and Ravenclaw, Jon walked across the damp lawn and came to greenhouse three.
Holding the note in his hand, he seemed a little worried.
Astoria Greengrass was not far in front of him, but she was surrounded by several Slytherin girls, including Selwyn, Yaxley, and Kent, and Jon was not easy to approach.
Sean Avery beside him was also enthusiastically introducing him to some things about Hogwarts, and he had to nod his head from time to time to signal that he was listening.
Professor Pomona-Sprout brought something ugly to the class.
In fact, they are not like plants, they are more like black, slimy slugs, emerging straight out of the soil. And each one was squirming slightly, and there were many shiny big drum bags on his body, which seemed to be liquid.
"Does anyone know what these are?" Professor Sprout asked.
"Babo tuber." Jon said almost without thinking.
"Yes!" Professor Sprout looked at the strange face in the greenhouse: "You are the exchange student, Mr. Patrick, right?"
"Uh... yes..." Jon nodded.
"Then can you tell me what it does?" Professor Sprout continued.
"The thick water of Balbo tubers is of high value!" Jon continued to answer: "If used properly, it will have a strong detoxification effect and can also treat some stubborn acne!"
"Correct answer!" Professor Sprout gave Jon a thumbs up: "Slytherin adds five points."
"Well done, Patrick!" Avery couldn't help but mutter in praise.
Then, Professor Sprout told everyone: "The task of this class is to squeeze it with your hands and collect its pus—"
"What?" Ravenclaw's Theresa Baker asked in disgust.
"Yes, Teresa, pus," Professor Sprout said, "listen, you are going to collect pus in these bottles. Put on your dragon leather gloves, undiluted babo tuber pus Water can cause unusual damage to the skin."
"Muggles in the Middle Ages, after UU reading www.uukanshu.com accidentally got Balbo tubers, they used their thick water to smear arrows and make poisoned arrows..." Professor Sprout added.
...
The process of squeezing a tuber is disgusting, but it also makes people feel a strange sense of satisfaction; every time a bulge is squeezed, it will spray a large sticky, yellow-green liquid, and emit a pungent Gasoline smell.
They collected the liquid in the bottle as ordered by Professor Sprout.
Professor Sprout looked at these little bottles with a satisfied face.
"I think Madam Pomfrey will be very happy to see these!" She said with a smile.
A deep and deep bell came from the castle, and the get out of class was over and the students dispersed.
The Ravenclaw students walked to the castle to take a transformation lesson.
The Slytherin students went in the other direction. They walked down the lawn slowly to Hagrid's cabin on the edge of the forbidden forest.
