Seeking her help with any problem is never a bad choice.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amidst the scent of damp soil, fertilizer, and rich floral fragrance, the professor continued:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Welcome to Herbology, where you will learn to cultivate these strange plants and fungi and understand their uses.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She gently tapped a pink pod, and a shiny bean immediately leapt out, blooming into a vivid flower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A chorus of “Whoa!” erupted around her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is that magic?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Michael murmured to himself, then suddenly remembered something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wizard Sean, do you know...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s the Magic Bubble Pod. It appears on page sixty-two of ‘One Thousand Magical Herbs and Fungi.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Bubble Pod grows plump pink pods containing shiny beans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These beans bloom instantly upon contact with any solid object.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anthony and Terry, both listening intently, jotted down Wizard Sean’s explanation almost simultaneously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Michael simply said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mm-hmm, I figured as much.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Professor Sprout’s lecture matched exactly what Wizard Sean had learned the first time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Notably,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>whenever the plump professor struggled to find someone to answer a question, Wizard Sean was always called upon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Does anyone know what this plant is?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hmm, you, Green.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wolfsbane, a plant with healing and regenerative magical properties.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Perfectly correct.

Green?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Generally, Wolfsbane extract yields superior healing effects, but raw consumption can also treat superficial wounds.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Exactly right. Ravenclaw earns one point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Final question: What is Wolfsbane’s use? How should it treat werewolf bites?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My dear sprouts, think back to your Defense Against the Dark Arts lesson.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But sadly, the professor’s expectations were doomed to fail—no one had paid attention in Defense Against the Dark Arts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Professor Quirrell had fallen far behind; he had barely stammered through the opening of what should have been covered in the first lesson.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh! What a pity... then...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wizards once used a mixture of Wolfsbane and silver powder to treat werewolf bites, preventing victims from dying of excessive blood loss.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wizard Sean’s fluency was heartbreakingly precise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Perfect answer! Ravenclaw earns two points!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Professor Sprout scanned the group of heads bowed in shame, yet remained undeterred, still full of enthusiasm as she guided the students in processing herbs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, sprouts, since you didn’t learn this in Defense Against the Dark Arts, don’t zone out now...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Professor Sprout had everyone put on gloves, carefully observe the Wolfsbane, then taught them how to process mature Wolfsbane.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wizard Sean, aren’t you some distant relative of Professor Sprout?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Michael whispered suddenly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wizard Sean shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then are you the professor’s private... ugh—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anthony clamped his hand over Michael’s mouth. The brief loss of oxygen brought his intelligence back online.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He scratched his head, clasped his hands together, and made an apologetic gesture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What a terrible imagination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wizard Sean shook his head in silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After teaching the processing of Wolfsbane, the professor added some knowledge on handling dried nettle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This made Wizard Sean thoughtful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps magical education wasn’t as dismal as he’d imagined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For instance, in Defense Against the Dark Arts, they learned about Wolfsbane for treating werewolf bites,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>and in Herbology, they didn’t just cover Wolfsbane—they also taught how to identify and process dried nettle, the very ingredient needed for brewing Cure for Boils.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, Hogwarts’ curriculum had been meticulously designed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Wizard Sean thought this, he continued processing the Wolfsbane.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【You have fully processed a Wolfsbane plant to apprentice standard.

He already knew what it would be.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like those difficult exams from his past life,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>as soon as he got the test paper, he could already guess his score—no suspense at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well, there was still one possibility:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe his talent wasn’t ordinary green—but not white trash either?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet after observing the greenhouse, Wizard Sean realized one thing:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hogwarts was rich.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the professors here were hidden millionaires.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He saw dried nettles in the shade—some had already passed maturity and should have been harvested, yet they hadn’t been.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The greenhouse was too large; they were left alone beneath plants the size of umbrellas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wizard Sean thought they must be meant for sale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps he could ask Bruce— who sold the herbs?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The professors were always busy; Bruce had once mentioned that Hufflepuffs handled all of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If so, he might be able to buy some in advance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It would surely be expensive,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>but no investment, no return.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he thought this, Wizard Sean unconsciously pulled out his personal notebook.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His quick-scribe quill had barely emerged before he tucked it away again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He simply quickened his pace toward the Great Hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unexpectedly, before Wizard Sean reached the Great Hall, Justin intercepted him with a mysterious expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, Wizard Sean, I know—well, only a little bit,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I swear I didn’t read more, but luckily, I can help.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Justin said something that left Wizard Sean utterly confused.\u003C\u002Fp>",1035,"2026-06-19T10:00:40.768Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","e2db129a3c42320c68ac69781708e68a4fe2377e9634fc8f8169d244768bab95","hogwarts-learning-panel-chapter-26","hogwarts-learning-panel-chapter-24",526,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fhogwarts-learning-panel-cover.jpg"]
