Two Worlds: I studied abroad at Hogwarts

Chapter 364 We are Badger Academy!

Because of the twins, a vacuum zone instantly formed around the notification bar.

The young wizards, who had originally wanted to return to the Great Hall to enjoy their food, had also lost their appetite.

A few skeptical young wizards ate a couple of bites of bread, but then they heard the people around them talking about "slugs".

They vomited right there in the auditorium.

"Sigh, it's all the twins' fault."

Hermione sighed helplessly, then discussed what they needed to do next with Moon.

Their first task was to collect the spells that the young wizards knew.

Then, combining these spells, a simple evaluation is conducted according to the standards given by Professor Flitwick.

Then, the power of the spell was tested on inanimate objects.

This task was not as simple as Moon had imagined.

Moreover, according to Professor Frivy's plan...

Two weeks later, the experimental committee will requisition the auditorium for the evening as the evaluation site.

Therefore, during this period, Moon and his team had to conduct an initial screening of all the young wizards who planned to participate in the experimental project.

After discussing it with Hermione, they noticed it was 7 p.m.

Moon said goodbye and quickly left, heading towards the herbal club.

Having not seen those rare flowers and plants for two months, Mu En also missed them a little.

Upon returning to the classroom, Moon discovered that these magical plants must have been pruned just two days ago.

The soil around the roots has been turned over, and even new fertilizer has been applied.

Besides Moon, only Professor Sprout could do this.

Moon was already very familiar with these plants, and after checking them one by one...

He soon discovered a magical plant that did not belong here.

This small flower is about 50 centimeters tall, with its black stem densely covered with tiny barbs.

The leaves are pinnate, dark green at the top and slightly purple on the back.

A small white flower grows at the top of the stem, creating a striking contrast with the black rootstock.

"The professor said this is black root grass, and it's the highest award in the club this year."

Seeing how carefully Moon was observing, Cedric walked over, patted him on the shoulder, and began to introduce the rare plant.

"Black root grass? I've never heard of it before."

"This is knowledge that is taught in the sixth-grade textbook, and I only learned about it in class today."

"No wonder, but what's the use of this plant?"

Think back to last year's top reward, which was Moongrass, which could be used to craft Moonlight Potions.

Moon became increasingly curious about the plant in front of him.

"I heard from the professor that this plant can counteract some of the effects of spells, especially black magic."

"Black magic! Is it that powerful?" Moon couldn't help but be a little surprised.

In another world, black magic did not encounter resistance from wizards.

After arriving at Star Ember Island, Moon was attacked by dark magic multiple times.

"However, the professor said that this plant is very troublesome to grow. He said it will make the surrounding soil barren and must be used with magical fertilizer. I also heard that the survival rate of black root grass is not high. There are only three plants in the school greenhouse."

Hearing Cedric say this, Moon realized how precious black root grass was.

Behind the school castle is the herb greenhouse.

Most students only need to go to greenhouses 1 to 3 for classes.

As for the higher-end greenhouses ranked later, they are all small in size, and the plants grown inside are very precious.

While Moon and Cedric were examining the black root grass, several more club members came over.

From their conversation, Moon heard more about black root grass.

According to them, black root grass is usually guarded by goblins.

Any creature that gets close to the blackroot grass will be attacked by the goblins.

The herb in the Herb Club was protected by Professor Sprout's magic, which also banished the goblins.

Moon listened attentively and nodded frequently.

He knew very well that if he brought the goblins into the club classroom, all the plants there would surely suffer.

As more and more people gathered around, Cedric quietly pulled Moon to a corner.

Before Moon could figure out what was going on, he felt a small bottle being slipped into his hand.

"This is Moonlight Herbal Elixir. My father specially commissioned someone to make it during the summer vacation, and I specially saved a portion for you."

Seeing Cedric's happy expression, Moon knew that the young wizard must have already taken the potion.

"How effective is the medicine?"

Moon opened the bottle cap, took a sniff, and then looked at the other person curiously.

"This is amazing! It truly lives up to its reputation as a rare herb. Now I can not only see at night, but I can also spot things that move incredibly fast."

Cedric looked very excited, and he even used his own experience training on the Quidditch pitch to explain to Moon.

"Do you know what? I now catch thieves in less than half the time it used to."

Upon hearing this, Moon knew that Cedric was very satisfied with the Moonlight Herbal Potion.

"Hopefully we'll see your highlight moments in this year's Quidditch tournament."

Moon praised him, but Cedric scratched his head sheepishly.

"Actually, I've always thought Harry was very talented, but it's only now that he's drunk the potion that I feel I can compete with him."

As Cedric finished speaking, he suddenly looked sharply at Moon.

"You're not going to join the Quidditch team this year, are you?"

“Where would I have time? You saw the notice in the auditorium too; Professor Flitwick has already conscripted me.”

Hearing Moon's answer, Cedric was immediately relieved.

"I see. Actually, participating in the spell experiment isn't bad. At least you can get 30 points in the academy."

Hearing Cedric's perfunctory reply, Moon looked at him curiously.

"You're not afraid that Harry and I will both go on stage together, are you?"

"How could that be? We're Badger Manor!"

While the two were joking and chatting, Professor Sprout pushed open the door and walked into the clubroom.

Moon could clearly see that the professor's expression was somewhat solemn.

After exchanging brief pleasantries with all the members, Sprout called Moon over to his side.

She also moved the snail grass that Bernard had left behind to the workbench.

"I watched your matches during the summer vacation, and I have to say, your performance was perfect, especially when dealing with Venomous Fang Geranium and Mandrake."

As Sprout spoke, he made a slit in the snail grass leaf.

Then he kept squeezing the clear liquid outwards with both hands.

Moon noticed an empty plastic bucket nearby and picked it up to help.

"Thank you." Seeing Moon's gesture, Sprout smiled and nodded, then went on to talk about other things.

"By the way, have you thought about your new research topic?"

Sprout looked at the small willow tree at the back of the classroom as he spoke.

This little tree is almost touching the ceiling; it was also the herbal plant subject that Moon chose for his first-year school project.

"Professor, if possible, I would like to choose to create a rune template."

"Using magical plants to carry magical runes? That's a good idea. How about starting with your little willow tree?"

"Yes."

Moon had actually had this idea back in the previous school year. It's just that he wasn't quite proficient with runes back then.

After a summer of practice, Moon is now able to easily carve a complete set of magical runes.

His current plan is to carve a magic circle onto a wooden board made from magical plants using magical runes.

Moreover, Moon felt that he had a deep connection with the willow tree.

In addition, this plant grows very quickly, which is more than enough to keep up with his training pace.

"Although few wizards study this kind of magic now, if you are interested, you can give it a try. You might be able to forge your own magical path."

That's the atmosphere at the club.

The professor does not force members to learn specific spells.

The professor would encourage or assist any magic that interested the members.

Moon was certainly interested in magical runes, and he had been studying them for almost a year.

Moon even felt that his old willow wand seemed to have room for improvement.

Learning magic runes also allows him to try engraving runes, or even magic circles, on his wand.

This way he can make the spells cast with his wand more powerful.

"Thank you for your understanding, Professor. Is there anything else I can help you with?"

While the two were talking, Moon had already squeezed a full bucket of snail grass juice.

"No need for now. With these adhesives, plus some elderberry sap and bandages, we can definitely repair the 'beating willow'."

Moon paused for a moment upon hearing Sprout's words.

"Professor, is it the one Harry and Ron knocked down?"

“That’s right. I’m so glad those two little wizards are alright. You didn’t see the wounds on the Whomping Willow. That plant definitely used a lot of malice against them.”

Moon did not see the current state of the Beating Willow.

But judging from what Sprout said, the injury must be quite severe.

Of course, according to this calculation, the one that was the one that escaped should have been the most seriously injured.

The common room was bustling with activity when I returned from the herbal club.

Since Percy had been teased by the twins and sent back to his dorm to study, no one paid any more attention to the lion cubs.

Ron then recounted how they flew from London to school in a flying car.

This attracted many Muggle wizards.

After all, these young wizards were used to seeing ordinary cars, but they had never seen one that could fly.

"Ron, what makes this flying car fly? Is it also made of gasoline?"

"There should be some magic involved, but it's mostly magic. My father cast the Levitation Charm and the Power Enhancement Charm on this vehicle, and he also modified the Muggle parts on the car."

Ron couldn't really explain it either, but seeing so many classmates interested, he tried hard to recall what he had seen in the basement of his house.

"And how did you take off? The flying car should have been parked near the train station, right? Wasn't there anyone else around?"

"The car originally had an invisibility spell, but I wasn't very good at controlling it, so it ended up in the newspaper."

Ron scratched the back of his head as he spoke, explaining somewhat embarrassedly.

"And I think this car has a temper; it got angry and abandoned us before driving off on its own."

Harry then joined in, reminiscing about what happened that day.

"Won't this car be damaged by the 'Hit-and-Beat Willow'? I heard from the professors that this plant is very dangerous."

"It should be fine. The flying car has an [Automatic Repair Spell], so these minor damages can be repaired on their own."

As Ron explained more and more, the young wizards' envy was written all over their faces.

I really want one!

As soon as one of the young wizards uttered a remark, the people around him quickly stopped him.

"Are you crazy? This is a violation of the secrecy law. Didn't you see it's in the newspapers?"

"What's there to be afraid of in the newspaper? This is a flying car! You can travel around the world in it."

The cub's recklessness was on full display at this moment.

But owning a flying car is not an easy thing for them.

Putting aside the fact that Muggle cars are not cheap, modifying a car alone requires mastering a lot of complex spells and automotive knowledge.

This is clearly not an ability that young wizards possess.

At the other end of the common room, Hermione was also surrounded by a group of young wizards.

Since no other volunteers have been selected yet, this little witch is the only way for everyone to find out information.

"Hermione, you might really want to consider this. The spells we created are definitely good enough to be selected."

"That's right, especially the [Slug Spray Charm], I guarantee that no wizard can resist such an attack!"

George and Fred haven't given up yet.

As they explained, they also used each other as material to demonstrate their self-created spells.

"Now I'll show you the true power of this spell!"

Fred drew his wand and pointed it at George across from him.

“Slug-ulus-Eructo-”

"Stop!"

"No, not here!"

"That thing is disgusting!"

"Except your weapons!"

As the surrounding young wizards panicked, a loud [Disarming Charm] appeared.

Fred's wand flew into Moon's hand in an instant.

“If you really plan to use this spell in the competition, I can report it, but you must guarantee that it will not be used in public places.”

"Oh, don't worry, the owner of the six-time champion."

Fred didn’t mind Moon’s surrender at all.

She walked over, happily hugged Moon, and told him her thoughts.

"Don't worry, although this spell is not perfect yet, it will definitely open Professor Flitwick's eyes, and the headmaster will also be amazed."

"That's right. If we can get guidance from the two of them, this spell will definitely appear in next year's 'Standard Spells - Advanced'."

Moon didn't respond to the twins' explanation, and his expression grew increasingly worse.

If the twins' plan actually succeeds, Moon doesn't even want to imagine what Hogwarts' Charms class will become.

Does this mean that everyone has to prepare a big bucket to collect slugs before class?

No, based on the twins' description of the spell's power, perhaps even one bucket wouldn't be enough.

Moon dared not think any further.

He even used [Memory Rewind] to clear the memories in his mind about the slug storm.

As for the young wizards around them, they didn't know this kind of magic.

Therefore, these disgusting memories are constantly polluting their mental world.

Hermione looked at Moon with a resentful expression; she had been prepared to reject the twins.

Unexpectedly, it was approved directly by Moon and then had to be submitted to the professors for review.

"Don't look at me like that. The professor said we should be tolerant of magic."

Moon explained briefly, then hurried toward his dormitory.

Because more and more young wizards came up with strange and unusual ideas that they wanted him to approve.

dong dong dong~
The dormitory door was pounded on loudly, but Moon showed no intention of opening it.

The three pets in the dormitory all turned their heads to look at Moon.

"Chirp chirp~" (Need help?)
