The Bard of Hogwarts

Chapter 129 The Flame of Hope and the Bouncing Bulb

Greenhouse No. 7 is filled with boll-shaped bulbs.

Under Professor Sprout's watchful eye, Ino drew his elder wand.

"Flames are raging!"

A flame representing hope and redemption ignites, a fist-sized flame floating at the top of the wand.

Before he could even react, an amusing scene unfolded: the countless bouncing bulbs suddenly fell silent.

Immediately afterwards, these magical plants seemed to come to life, and without any instructions, they began to move toward the flames in an orderly fashion.

The tadpoles are looking for their mother, or the ants are moving house; it's hard to explain.

In just a short while, all the bouncing bulbs in the greenhouse gathered at his feet.

"Amazing magic!" Professor Sprout, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke. She first examined the floating flame, then squatted down and gently touched the bouncy bulb with her wand.

After a long while, Professor Sprout stood up and sighed softly:

"Ino, study herbal medicine well! I think there may be another master of herbal medicine in the future."

This is a very high evaluation.

It's important to know that in the magical world, regardless of the discipline, anyone who can be called a master is respected wherever they go, and this respect is not limited to the British Isles.

"Thank you for your praise, it makes me a little flattered." Ino also knew the true value of the master.

"There's no need to panic! Your fire spell is amazing; the Jumping Bulb has already changed, albeit subtly!"

Professor Sprout explained with a serious expression.

"Besides, I feel this isn't an isolated case. This magical flame might really change the properties of many plants, like the Devil Vines, Mibumibao, and Umbrella Flowers..."

"Never mind, we'll talk about that later. Let's replant these energetic little guys in their flowerpots first."

As they were talking, Professor Sprout had already squatted down and started grabbing the bouncy bulbs. Seeing that the professor had gotten started, Ino also rolled up his sleeves and started working.

……

Half an hour later.

After all the bubbly bulbs were completely removed, greenhouse number seven returned to its usual tranquility.

"Professor! Can I ask you a question? It's about that feeling of the magic of plants earlier, something I wanted to ask you about last time."

After much hesitation, Ino finally voiced her question.

"What's wrong with that? It's not like the medieval isolationism. After Hogwarts was established, this bad habit was abolished long ago," Professor Sprout explained with some surprise.

"And my duty is to teach you all the knowledge you need. If you are willing to learn, feel free to come to me."

"That's great! I've wanted to learn this magic for ages." Ino was happy and grateful that she had met a responsible professor.

"However, this is a spell I modified myself, so before you learn it, you need to learn the Scarpin Manifestation Charm. Come with me!"

After saying that, Professor Sprout was the first to walk out of greenhouse number seven.

……

Herbalism Department Office.

Perhaps to better care for the amazing plants in the greenhouse, Professor Sprout chose to place his office in a room not far from the greenhouse.

There was a large desk and a matching chair, a floor-standing bookshelf and a wooden sofa, and that was all the furniture in the room.

Of course, although there isn't much furnishing, the place doesn't feel empty at all. Adorned with countless potted plants, the office is as refreshing and pleasant as a small garden.

In the room, Professor Sprout rummaged through the bookshelf for a while before taking out a yellowed notebook.

"This is it. It contains my improved version of the Scarpin Revealing Charm. You can take it back and study it yourself first. If you encounter any problems, come and ask me. This spell isn't dangerous!"

Upon hearing this, Ino stood up and took the notebook with both hands.

"Thank you, Professor. I will study diligently and take good care of these notes."

Professor Sprout nodded slightly in approval.

"Ino, if you don't mind, you can come to Greenhouse No. 7 more often in the future. I want to study the modified 'jumping' bulbs."

After a brief moment of thought, Ino agreed: "No problem, I'll come to the greenhouse to visit these little guys every weekend afternoon from now on."

He felt obligated to repay kindness, and besides, it wasn't some rare treasure, so he had no reason to refuse.

After all, there are plenty of unauthorized modifications to spells in the magical world. People would probably just believe it's a modified fire spell, nothing special.

Meow meow meow, thank you so much for your support!

Xiao Di finally finished coding by 7 o'clock!
