Hogwarts wizards who signed in to Middle-earth.

Chapter 333 The First Week of School

In the Transfiguration class, after briefly explaining the Animagus, Edward began the formal lesson.

After half a lesson of theoretical instruction, Edward waved his wand and distributed matches to each student, then had them practice turning the matches into needles.

By the end of the morning's deformation class, only a few students had successfully deformed the matchsticks in a localized way.

Professor Edward was not surprised by the result. After all, Transfiguration was arguably the most difficult of all the courses, and the fact that several people had successfully transfigured was beyond his expectations.

So after assigning homework, the students were dismissed.

The first-year curriculum is relatively easy, with only one course in the morning: Transfiguration.

In the afternoon, there are Charms and Herbalism classes.

The Charms professor is Luke, who was formerly the mayor of Hogsmeade but has now chosen to retire, handing over his administrative responsibilities to his successor. He then came to the castle to apply for the position of Charms professor.

In this respect, he was decisive and efficient, leaving his old rival Luke speechless and deeply regretting that he was not as good as Luke.

Luke didn't have the same lust for power as Mayor Bree, and perhaps he had already made his choice in secret after becoming a wizard.

Therefore, he cultivated a successor early on, and once the successor was approved by Dui, he simply handed over most of the tasks to the successor.

He, on the other hand, spends most of his time learning more magic, and only intervenes when his successor is unable to handle a situation.

As a result, Luke's magical skills improved, surpassing those of other wizards, and he demonstrated great talent and strength in spells.

Finally, after successfully landing the job as a professor of Charms, he resigned from his position as mayor and came to the castle to teach and study more profound magic.

In the afternoon, Phoenix Academy students attended the Spells class together with Thunderbird Academy students.

In addition to being the professor of Charms, Professor Luke is also the Dean of Thunderbird School.

Professor Luke is humorous and creates a relaxed atmosphere in his classes. He is very good at making learning fun. While explaining the dry theory of spells, he would occasionally demonstrate beautiful spells to keep the students focused throughout the class.

Even after class ended, the students were still reluctant to leave the classroom, and were enthusiastically discussing the magic that Professor Luke had just demonstrated.

After finishing their spells class, the students quickly went downstairs, left the castle, and headed to Greenhouse Number One.

The greenhouse is located near Dui and Alwen's private garden, separated only by a tall, thick hedge.

Since deciding to open a magic school, Dui had a hedge wall planted outside the garden.

Under the influence of magic, the hedges grew tall and dense, isolating the garden and preventing mischievous little wizards from entering.

After all, besides the two precious trees, the Sacred White Tree and the Maurice Sinensis, there are many other very precious flowers and plants in the garden that simply cannot withstand the destruction caused by children.

Therefore, apart from Dui and Alwen, only those with their permission could enter the garden.

Outside the garden, in the glass greenhouses, arranged from number one to number seven, many magical plants are grown.

Moreover, the larger the number of greenhouses, the more precious or dangerous the magical plants are.

The herb garden rooms originally located in the Amonsur Tower were transformed into Dui's private herb garden, completely separating them from the public nature of the greenhouse.

These greenhouses are all cared for by Professor Margaret of the Herb Garden.

Margaret was one of the first witches in the accelerated magic course. Her talent in herbalism caught the eye of Dui, and after graduation, she stayed at the castle to tend to Dui's herb garden and the plants in his garden. Over the previous ten years, Margaret's research and skill in herbalism progressed rapidly, and she even cultivated many magical plants.

Moreover, she had traveled to the Darkwood, the Fangon Forest, and the Old Forest, and unexpectedly gained the friendship of the brown-robed wizard Redagast, the wood elves, and the treants, thus acquiring many seeds.

She planted all the seeds in the greenhouse and nurtured them.

She even successfully transplanted a Huorn willow tree from the Fangon Forest and planted it in Greenhouse No. 7.

This greatly surprised Dui at the time, and made him pay even more attention to this witch.

Therefore, when considering the position of professor of herbalism, Dui did not hesitate to think of this witch.

Margaret is a plump, smiling witch with brown hair, blue eyes, and a bright smile. She wears a dirt-resistant brown dress and a dusty hat.

She appears gentle and approachable, radiating a simple and honest charm, yet she harbors lofty ambitions.

They not only attempted to cultivate more Sacred White Trees and Mauron Trees, thus transforming Windrise into a forest of Sacred White Trees and Mauron Trees, like the Golden Forest of Lorien, but even more beautiful.

Furthermore, due to their friendship with the Tree People, and considering the disappearance of Entpo, the Tree People Ent race has lost the ability to reproduce.

Therefore, Margrass tried to use magical means to cultivate new Ent seedlings in order to find a way for the tree-man race to reproduce.

Dui supported Margrass's ideal, since finding a way for the tree people to reproduce would surely win the friendship of the tree people.

When the students from Phoenix Academy and Dragon Academy arrived at Greenhouse Number One, Professor Margaret was already waiting there.

Inside the greenhouse, it was expanded using a seamless expansion spell, reaching the size of a football field, and temperature and environment were maintained using spells such as a constant temperature spell.

Because it's a place for first-year students to attend classes, the No. 1 greenhouse mainly contains magical plants that pose little danger.

The most widely planted variety is the large-scale cultivation of Dictamnus dasycarpus, which is also the subject of students' first herbalism class.

Dictamnus dasycarpus has a strong healing effect; its juice can be used to make Dictamnus dasycarpus essence, which can heal most wounds.

Many wizarding families now grow Dictamnus dasycarpus as a staple medicine in their homes.

However, in terms of output, it naturally cannot compare to Margaret's greenhouse, whose white cinnamon essence is not only sold in the Diagon Alley market, but also exported to other places, and is worth a fortune.

Margaret is, in a sense, a hidden millionaire. She has a pure love for herbalism, so she spends most of her time in the greenhouse cultivating various magical plants.

Furthermore, Margaret applied her knowledge of herbalism to actual combat.

She successfully cultivated an even more powerful Devil's Web using the Killer Ivy from the Dark Forest, a dark vine plant infected and mutated by dark forces.

The Devil's Web lives in dark and damp environments and has snake-like tendrils that can tightly entangle anyone who gets close, strangling them to death. Even wild beasts that are accidentally entangled cannot break free.

The only drawback of this devil's net is that it is afraid of light and fire.

However, this weakness was intentionally left by Marguerite, so that the plant would have a vulnerability and not become uncontrollable.

But Margaret still managed to cultivate a Devil's Web that was unafraid of sunlight and fire, with tough vines and no weaknesses, as a protective tool.
