Chapter 47: Physical and Mental Health Problems of Teenagers (Please collect and recommend)
The Defense Against the Dark Arts class spread quickly, but people were not that interested in it.
If a freshman accidentally hurts a professor in other classes, it might cause quite a stir.
For example, the spells class on the first day of school is still talked about by people.
But if it is Defense Against the Dark Arts... it's not so interesting.
Let's put it this way, their previous professor was a very hidden dark wizard. Later, someone discovered him and he was taken away by Aurors during class.
The previous previous professor was a potion enthusiast who liked to study some strange potion formulas. One day in class, he showed his latest achievement to the students, the Omniscience Potion, saying that it was comparable to the Felicity Potion and that drinking a sip would solve all troubles.
And then... there was nothing else.
In order to prove the effect of the potion, he drank a sip on the spot and is still lying in St. Mungo's.
In comparison, Professor Oren's story is not even worth talking about.
Just like that, the first weekend at Hogwarts came quietly.
Kyle slept until almost nine o'clock, and finally Cedric came to knock on the door to wake him up.
"Why are you calling me so early?"
After washing up, Kyle threw himself on the sofa in the common room and stretched comfortably.
"It's still early? It's almost time for lunch, okay!" Cedric looked at Kyle speechlessly and handed him a pie that he had just brought from the kitchen.
It was stuffed with potatoes and beef, and onions were added. It tasted quite good.
While Kyle was eating the pie, Cedric continued: "The Quidditch selection will start today. I'm going to try it out in a while. How about you, do you want to join us? The two of us together can definitely win this year's Quidditch Cup."
"I forget it." Kyle shook his head and said: "First-year wizards are not allowed to join the school team. This is the rule."
Since the end of the flying class yesterday, Kyle has given up the idea of joining the Quidditch team.
Because Diana strictly forbade him to buy a broom in his first year, if he joined the team now, he could only use the old antiques provided by the school, which made Kyle a little unacceptable.
Those brooms were really too old, and they didn't even have many necessary functions. For example, the most important one was the lifting charm engraved on the broom handle.
This function was available after 1930, because the Quidditch World Cup final that year lasted for seven days. After that, a total of eleven players from the two teams participating in the final retired for the same reason.
So since then, the lifting charm has become a necessary function of the broom.
And the brooms in the school obviously existed before 1930.
It's okay to ride those antiques occasionally, but if they are used for a long time, they may affect the physical and mental health of young wizards.
Anyway, Kyle couldn't accept it. As for Cedric...
Kyle patted his shoulder and said seriously: "If you are selected, I suggest you save money to buy a new broom."
Cedric nodded and said: "Indeed, the brooms in school are too slow, but if I am really selected, my father should give me a Sweeping Seven Stars."
"That's no problem." Kyle nodded.
Although the Sweeping Seven Stars is a model from ten years ago, it has all the necessary configurations and is enough for the school team.
"Oh, there's one more thing." Cedric took out two maps and said, "I've already finished the maps for Gryffindor and Slytherin. What should we do next? Should we promote it ourselves? Or should we continue to look for someone to cooperate with?"
"Let's find someone to cooperate with." Kyle thought for a while and said, "If we promote it ourselves, it will be a waste of time, and the efficiency is low. It's not appropriate."
"Yeah, I think so too." Cedric nodded and said, "For Gryffindor, we can find the Weasley brothers. They should agree to help. But what about Slytherin? Do you know anyone?"
Kyle shook his head.
Coincidentally, among the four colleges of Hogwarts, he is least familiar with Slytherin, mainly because there is really no intersection.
"That's troublesome." Cedric sighed and said, "I don't know anyone either."
After earning the first pot of gold in his life, Cedric was at his most interested at this time, and obviously did not want to give up Slytherin, the largest market.
For this purpose, he specially modified Slytherin's map slightly, using the best parchment and adding a circle of gold edges.
The shape is completely in line with their taste.
Of course, the price will definitely be slightly raised. You get what you pay for, this is normal.
The only problem now is how to sell these maps. If they rely on the two Hufflepuffs alone, few people in Slytherin will buy them.
And once Snape knows about this, it will be a trouble. With his personality, he will most likely confiscate the map directly and then deduct 20 points from Hufflepuff.
After thinking about it, they still have to find a middleman.
The two discussed for a while, but still had no good solution.
Cedric wanted to ask the Weasley brothers to see if they knew anyone from Slytherin.
Although Kyle thought this possibility was not very high, there was no better way now, so he could only try it first.
When it was almost ten o'clock, the two left the Hufflepuff common room together.
Cedric was going to the Quidditch field to participate in the school team selection, while Kyle was going to the library to return a book.
He had finished reading the book "The Troubadour in the Wind" last night, and he was going to borrow another one.
Because they were not on the same route, the two separated near the auditorium.
Kyle smiled and said, "I wish you success in being selected for the Quidditch school team."
"Don't worry!" Cedric confidently raised a thumb: "It will definitely be no problem."
Then the two separated.
...
In the library, Madam Pince took the book handed over by Kyle, checked it, and handed him another book that Kyle wanted to borrow after confirming that there was no problem:
"Old rules, you know."
"Of course, it is not allowed to damage books." Kyle smiled and said, "I know."
"That's good."
After getting the book he wanted, Kyle did not go back to the dormitory directly, but found a place in the library to read it.
"Detailed Explanation of Asian Magical Plants"
This is a book about herbs. Kyle looked through it page by page like a cursory glance, and soon found what he really needed.
"ZG Biting Cabbage, an extremely dangerous and aggressive plant, was first discovered in..."
Kyle took out the parchment he had prepared in advance, copied all the contents using the copy spell, and then left the library.
However, he did not return the book directly, but planned to take it back to read it first. Maybe Professor Sprout will introduce some new varieties next time.
It would be troublesome to borrow it again at that time.
