Chapter 638 Dream Mushroom
"Maintain order, Potter."

After giving Harry a quick word of advice, the senior class leader went off to maintain discipline among the senior class, leaving the first years, who were the easiest to manage, to the new class leader.

No student coming to Hogwarts knows how to be sorted into houses, so this is a good opportunity for new prefects to practice.

"Let's get ready, Hermione."

Harry took a breath and tried to calm himself.

'It's nothing, you can do this, Harry, it's just like a private duelling club, you can handle it.'

His and Hermione's job was simple, together with the other new prefects, they made sure the freshmen followed Hagrid safely and didn't get lost on the road.

But the moment he and Hermione showed up, the entire group of freshmen was in an uproar.

"Hermione, it's Hermione!"

"That warrior Hermione?"

"Definitely..."

Conversations could be heard from the lively group of freshmen, but it didn't give Harry any pressure at all.

He listened to the laughter and conversation in the air and felt strange for the first time - Harry had prepared himself mentally many times before, and was also prepared to be surrounded by freshmen and even to have a few Colins show up.

Those were the things he feared the most, and he even went to Sirius for several tutoring simulations before he could calm himself down.

But what's the situation now?
He looked at Hermione in confusion and found that there was a rare look of confusion on Hermione's face - to be honest, to be precise, this was the first time he saw Hermione show such an expression.

The two looked at each other, and Hermione decisively stepped forward and said, "Quiet."

Harry kept his mouth shut out of habit - for some reason, she felt that Hermione's behavior just now was a bit like Professor McGonagall.

Fortunately, he realized in time that he was also a prefect, so the situation did not become more awkward - with Hermione taking the lead, the first-year kids quickly caught up with Hagrid and began to cross the path of Hogwarts.

Harry and the others followed closely behind to prevent any accidents from happening in such weather.

It was only then that he and Hermione had time to discuss what had just happened.

"They've probably all watched the live broadcast of the Triwizard Tournament," Hermione sighed slightly, obviously not liking this scene very much. "To be honest, I underestimated the impact of dream communication on the wizarding world. Compared to newspapers and books, this intuitive model seems to be a brand new concept."

She didn't mind the changes in the magical world at all, and she even gave up the idea of ​​competing with Andrew, who was promoting the spread of dream magic, in transfiguration. But she really didn't want to be a star - the pile of letters last year was enough to make her irritated, but this year seemed to be even worse.

There was a group of students who watched her competition before school started, and there would be two more waves of such students before she graduated from Hogwarts!
Hermione, who had not quite understood Harry's emotions before, finally felt confused. She sighed but couldn't say anything - Harry's situation was much more serious than hers, and she was really embarrassed to express her feelings to Harry.

Focusing their attention on the students again, Harry and Hermione followed the team all the way to the Black Lake, and watched the students board the boat one by one before heading towards the Hogwarts campus.

"Come to think of it, Taylor hasn't even shown up yet."

Harry looked around at the prefects around him, "Look, there's one less prefect in Ravenclaw." "This is what the Head Boy is like. I suspect he's on the prefect list..."

"Ok?"

Harry was stunned for a moment, looked at Hermione who suddenly stopped talking, and saw another person in her eyes.

"Good evening, everyone."

Andrew walked quickly towards the prefects here, looked around at the new prefects, and nodded to them, "It's getting late, get in the carriage, we have to return to the castle early."

He knew everyone - after five years, he could tell at a glance who would be the prefect, not to mention that he was the one who copied the list and issued the badges.

A group of prefects who were used to being managed followed Andrew into the carriage without any objection. They stared at the butterfly lying on Andrew's body with curiosity, but dared not say anything.

"We've made some changes to the school lounge this year, with some new lamps. You need to take the freshmen to familiarize them with them," Andrew said as he looked at the prefects. "Also, make sure to take care of the Forbidden Forest, especially during the first few days of school. Keep an eye on the lounge. Even senior students will be put in solitary confinement if they wander around at night."

Amidst a chorus of "hmms", Andrew continued to explain things.

"The school has just created a dream mushroom, but because the cultivation time is too short, the time and information that can be communicated are limited. However, the prefects can experience it first," he whispered a message that could be told to the prefects, "Do you understand?"

"Dream mushroom?"

Hermione muttered first, followed by the rest.

The dream tree has been reported many times, but what about the mushrooms?
"Professor Adams made the final decision, so our training process had some twists and turns, but the result is good. Although she is a little clumsy, her safety and connectivity far exceeded expectations."

Andrew whispered to himself that he had been busy with this in the days since he had achieved success in transfiguration, so he had a very clear memory of it.

Armillaria ostreatus - that's the name in the Muggle world.

Unlike the tropical rain forest in Brazil, a patch of Dream Trees in Hogwarts is too conspicuous. Professor Sprout and Professor Adams discussed for a long time and after analyzing enough information, they decided to lay mushrooms in Hogwarts.

Originating from the Muggle world, Armillaria ostreatus is the largest mushroom. After being magically blended with Noctilucent Shrooms and Moonlit Shrooms, it is very well adapted to the environment in the Forbidden Forest of Hogwarts.

The most important point is that it is non-toxic and easy to control.

Its huge mycelium and short stature make it very susceptible to area-of-effect transformation spells, and because it grows fast enough, it can be used as food by some creatures in the Forbidden Forest.

Apart from the fact that it is slow to merge with dreams, which requires it to be cultivated and improved, this thing has basically no weaknesses - the native fungus has a maximum area of ​​9.65 square kilometers and a lifespan of up to a thousand years, making it a perfect carrier of memory in the magical world.

"So there's a big mushroom patch growing in the Forbidden Forest?"

"Almost," Andrew nodded. "The professors are still adjusting the taste and, of course, the all-important indicator color. Professor Adams seems to be trying to use it to blend dreams into the soup, but progress seems to be slow."

"Okay, as for that mushroom, you Hufflepuff students can go and see for yourselves. Next, we will continue to talk about the welfare of the prefects and the things to pay attention to in daily life."
