Fortunately, Lin Yu seemed to be fully aware of all this, and with the help of his master, Snape's attempts to make things difficult for him failed.

Harry Potter vividly remembers the unpleasant look on Snape's face when he politely yet arrogantly asked if Snape had any more questions after Snape finished asking his.

Of course, when he added that he hoped he could borrow the second-year textbooks from Professor Snape in his spare time, his face turned extremely ugly.

Apart from that, daily campus life was peaceful and uneventful.

Every morning, Harry Potter would get up early and go alone to the lawn outside the building to practice.

Although he knew his actions were a bit strange, Harry Potter didn't care at all about the opinions of his naive peers, compared to his ever-growing strength.

"Master, when can we try preparing herbal decoctions? I feel like there are a few herbs that would be quite suitable."

'Oh? For example?'

'Bai Xian should be quite good; generally, herbs with strong healing properties also have the effect of promoting blood circulation.'

'besides.'

Harry Potter did indeed put in some effort in herbalism, and Lin Yu didn't forget to teach him this kind of knowledge when preparing herbal remedies.

To this day, Harry Potter has mastered this skill quite well.

After listening to Harry Potter's description, Lin Yu nodded slightly.

"That's right, but you've misused it. There's a more suitable way to take Dictamnus dasycarpus, which has powerful healing effects, than as a decoction."

It just requires a little bit of hardship.

"It's alright, Master. I'm not afraid of hardship. Nothing was harder than my life with the Dursleys."

Harry Potter smiled, his somewhat childish face displaying a smile that seemed rather innocent.

'In that case, let's go find Hagrid and ask him to buy us some herbs.'

People are usually allowed to go out at Hogwarts.

Although Hedwig could go to the pharmacy in Diagon Alley to buy it, she didn't have enough money.

Although Galon has strong purchasing power, various medicinal herbs are not cheap, and according to Lin Yu, the required quantity is quite large.

"Let's do it at noon today then, we have plenty of time."

After lunch, Ron followed Lin Yu toward the Forbidden Forest.

Hagrid's cabin is nearby.

"I've heard Fred and George talk about Hagrid before. They say he's a nice guy, but I've never actually met him."

"It was really nice; he was the first stranger to celebrate my birthday."

Harry Potter nodded in agreement.

Not long after we walked, we heard a loud barking sound.

After going around the house, a huge black dog the size of a calf appeared before the two of them.

Those gleaming white fangs and the spittle flying everywhere sent chills down one's spine.

Even with a thick iron chain around its neck, it still inspires awe.

The moment Ron saw the "vicious dog," his expression changed. He stopped abruptly, his face pale, and grabbed Harry Potter.

"Wait a minute, I feel it's a bit inappropriate to visit if the host isn't home."

Harry Potter glanced helplessly at the frightened Ron, patted his hand to comfort him.

"It's okay, it's just a dog."

"Just?!"

Ron's voice rose noticeably by several octaves.

"You're telling me this is just a dog?"

Ron spoke excitedly, gesturing with his hands.

"I bet he could bite my head off if he opened his mouth."

"If he were that powerful, I wouldn't need to protect him."

Hagrid's voice suddenly rang out, and he stepped out of the house with his head slightly bowed, his bearded face smiling at Harry Potter.

"I was just about to invite you over for a chat, but I didn't expect you to come on your own initiative. How's your first week on campus?"

"It's not bad, although there are still quite a few unpleasant things."

Harry Potter said with a smile that seeing Hagrid made him feel much better.

As they talked, Hagrid unchained the big dog and called out to Tooth.

Then, amidst Ron's gasp, the big dog pounced on him and began licking his face incessantly.

The three returned to the house, and Hagrid brought some cookies and poured tea for the two of them.

After chatting for a while, Harry Potter spoke to Hagrid.

"Hagrid, there's something I'd like to ask you for a favor."

"Oh? What is it? As long as you don't break the school rules, I don't think it's a problem."

"I need you to go to Gringotts to get some money for me, and then go to Diagon Alley to buy some herbs."

Hagrid frowned upon hearing Harry Potter's words.

"Have you used up the money you withdrew last time?"

"No, there's still plenty left, but I need to buy a lot of medicinal herbs."

"I probably can't help you with withdrawing money, because you need not only the key but also your presence. However, I can help you buy medicine."

"But what do you need so many herbs for? I remember in Potions class, the teacher would give you herbs for experiments."

"Are you planning to concoct your own potions? No, Harry, let me tell you, that's not advisable. Potions aren't as simple as you think. In all my years at Hogwarts, I've encountered guys every year who got hurt because they secretly concocted their own potions."

Hagrid said, glancing at Ron who was snickering beside him, with a hint of annoyance.

“Your brother did something like that before.”

"Huh? My brother? Which one? I don't know anything about this."

"How could I possibly tell you about such mischievous behavior when I get home?"

Seeing that Hagrid seemed to have misunderstood, Harry Potter quickly waved his hand.

"Hagrid, you've misunderstood. I'm not trying to concoct a potion, I just need some herbs for a bath."

"Bath?"

Hagrid chewed on the somewhat unfamiliar word, not quite understanding it.

"Well, it's not for taking or anything else, it's just for taking a bath."

Harry Potter smiled and said casually.

"It's just a personal little habit, nothing special, like some kind of medicinal herb, like Dictamnus dasycarpus."

Hearing Harry Potter's words, Hagrid visibly breathed a sigh of relief.

According to Harry Potter, taking a bath isn't really a big deal.

"If it's just white safflower, I can help."

"But if it's something else, I'll have to ask other people before I can agree to it."

Hagrid may be carefree, but he's not stupid, and he definitely doesn't want anything to happen to Harry Potter, whom he cares about.

"of course."

Harry Potter nodded. "But what if I need some things from the Muggle world besides that?"

"Of course, it should be your family."

Hagrid said it unconsciously, then quickly realized what he meant.

"I'm sorry, Harry, but I don't think that family would be willing to help."

Hagrid scratched his head and quickly apologized.

"It's nothing, that's why I came to see if there's any way."

"I can help you buy it in Diagon Alley, but I don't have much of a solution for the Muggle world, since I don't know much about it, as you know."

Harry Potter nodded; he knew that was true, and Hagrid didn't have any better solutions either.

"It seems I'll have to find someone to help me myself."

"For example, some of your classmates probably come from ordinary families."

"As for the money, if it's not much, I can lend you some first. I can take you to Gringotts again after the semester ends."

"Thank you very much, Hagrid. By the way, do you have a bathtub here?"

"I would like one, but unfortunately my size isn't quite right for it. However, if you need one, I have a large wooden tub here. You can use it here if you don't mind."

"You've really been a great help; otherwise, I would have been quite troubled."

Harry smiled and chatted with Hagrid for a while before leaving with Ron.
