The Shopkeeper of All Worlds in the British Wizarding World

Chapter 76: The Busy First Day of School (Please give me a recommendation)
Arriving at the Great Hall, Ryan found that the breakfast at Hogwarts was still as rich as before. And because of the unusual way of coming to school yesterday, Ron and Harry were surrounded by a circle of people asking about the details of yesterday.

When Ryan sat down at his seat, the Weasley twins patted Ryan on the shoulder from behind, and then Fred said, "Thank you, Ryan. Your idea saved our family a lot of money on buying textbooks this time."

"You're welcome. If you didn't have so many brothers in your family, I wouldn't have thought of this idea. By the way, can you tell me what the things you bought from me before can be used for?" Ryan asked.

"Not yet, because it's a trade secret. But if the product is ready, we'll definitely ask you to come take a look."

After that, the twins went to the other side of the table to eat with Lee Jordan. Ryan shrugged and started eating the breakfast in front of him. Sure enough, people's appetite will increase after exercise. Not to mention Ryan, even Hermione ate more breakfast today than usual.

When everyone was having breakfast, a large number of owls flew in the sky. Every year when school starts, there are always more owls than usual. After all, there are always some things left at home, such as potion ingredients and textbooks that have not been bought, that need to be urgently delivered to their owners.

Some of the packages were more exaggerated, for example, Neville's package was bigger than everyone else's. So the memory ball his grandmother sent him last year was quite suitable for him, although the ball could only remind you of something you didn't remember.

At this moment, Ryan saw a gray shadow falling down. He quickly pulled the milk jug back with his left hand, and then stretched out his right hand to catch the falling object.

"This looks like Ron's owl." Hermione was startled by Ryan's action just now. Now she looked carefully at what Ryan was holding and said.

Ryan took a closer look and found that it was Errol from Ron's family, holding a letter in his mouth. He walked to Ron holding the unconscious owl and handed him the letter, then said casually: "You really should change your owl. This owl is too old."

"If it weren't for Lockhart's book, maybe we could have gotten a new one this year." Ron said as he opened the letter. After taking a look at it, he said to Harry and Ryan, "The Ministry of Magic hopes that we won't spread the news about the incident at the separation wall, so they gave each of us 30 Galleons as compensation and asked my father to pass it on to you. My mother will send the money to you when she goes to the post office in a few days. Because Errol is too old, he really can't carry Galleons."

"It's okay, no rush, we can come whenever we are free." Ryan and Harry said at the same time.

"This can be considered a blessing in disguise. At least ten Galleons is a considerable amount of pocket money for me." Ryan said.

"My money was confiscated by my mother." Ron looked frustrated after listening to Ryan's story.

How miserable. Ryan and Harry looked at each other and read this message from each other's eyes.

When the meal was almost over, Professor McGonagall began to hand out the class schedules one by one along the tables. The first class was Herbology, and they would go to the greenhouse with the Hufflepuffs.

Professor Sprout is the Herbology professor at Hogwarts. She is a plump middle-aged woman with a usually very good temper.

Why did he emphasize that she usually had a very good temper? Because Ryan found that she was standing at the door of the greenhouse with a sullen look on her face, her body covered with dew, and she must have just come out of the greenhouse.

It was obvious that what made Professor Sprout angry was Lockhart next to him. The peacock was spotless from head to toe, wearing a flowing green robe and a green hat with a gold rim on his shining golden hair. After seeing the students, he greeted them with a smile and boasted about his level of herbal medicine. But before he could finish, Professor Sprout interrupted him and shouted to the students: "Today, go to the third greenhouse!"

Last year, we had classes in the first greenhouse. According to rumors from senior students, the plants in the first greenhouse were something between ordinary plants and magic plants. The plants in the third greenhouse were real magic plants. Of course, they were dangerous. If not handled properly, they might go into the greenhouse vertically and come out horizontally.

The door of the greenhouse opened, and a strange smell came from inside, like a mixture of fresh manure and the scent of flowers. Ryan saw many plants inside moving like animals, and some plants had huge flowers blooming.

Just as Ryan and the others were about to go in, Lockhart called Harry over and tried to discuss some things related to celebrity fame.

"He's a professor and shouldn't be doing these things in school. This is a place for learning," said Hermione.

Ryan burst out laughing after hearing this, because he remembered the history of Hermione's star-chasing in the original text. It must be said that excessive star-chasing can really make people stupid.

When he saw Hermione glaring at him with dissatisfaction, he quickly stated his position: "It is indeed inappropriate to act like a star in school, but this may be because Lockhart has just arrived at the school and is not used to this kind of teacher life. I think it will be fine after a while."

"Ryan, you always think of the good side of people, just like when you defended Snape last year. But I think Snape is at least very good at potions, while Lockhart is a complete vain idiot. Didn't you hear him bragging about his herbology skills in front of Professor Sprout just now?" Ron said on the side.

After entering the classroom, they found earmuffs on the stools, which should be prepared for the students. Today's class content is to change the pot of mandrake. Hermione easily answered the questions raised by Professor Sprout, adding ten points to Gryffindor.

Mandrake is the top soul singer in the magic world, fully demonstrating the essence of singing. So when handling him, you must do a good job of labor protection. Obviously, the earmuffs on the stool are labor protection products.

With everyone wearing earmuffs, you can see that when Professor Sprout pulled up the mandrake, the mandrake in his hand was like a baby, twisting its body and opening its mouth wide, probably shouting.

Ryan looked at the mandrake and suddenly felt that it looked a bit like a ginseng doll. Unfortunately, the mandrake did not have a magical tonic effect and could only be used in many antidotes.

When thinking about fighting poison with poison, Ryan inexplicably thought of soaking poisonous snakes in wine, and then he thought that maybe soaking mandrake in wine could promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis.

Hermione, who was standing next to him, saw Ryan in a daze and nudged him with her elbow. When Ryan came to his senses, he found that the professor had finished the demonstration.

Fortunately, Ryan's brain wasn't too disturbed at the time, so there were no major problems in the following operation phase.
