Chapter 19 I heard that you also like Quidditch
Quidditch training ended as usual, and Qiu Zhang hurried toward the greenhouse with the Herbology textbook in hand.
"Autumn!"
Marietta raised her hands high to signal to Cho Chang. Standing next to her was Cedric, who was also nodding to say hello to Cho Chang with a gentle smile. Cho Chang entered the greenhouse and stood between Marietta and Cedric.
"Qiu, are your training over?"
"train?"
Cedric was subconsciously confused, Qiu Zhang put the book down and explained to Cedric.
"Yes, do you still remember what I told you in the last Potions class? That I became a Ravenclaw Seeker? I have been training every day recently, and the captain has been very strict, but fortunately I am very If you like Quidditch, it doesn’t matter how tired you are!”
"No wonder, I feel like you always look very tired recently, so you must pay attention to rest and don't be too tired!"
"Don't worry, I will!"
Qiu Zhang felt Cedric's caring eyes and returned a gentle smile to comfort Cedric.
"Classmates, students, please be quiet for a while."
The herbal medicine professor, who was wearing a forest green robe and had white curly hair and a kind face with a kind smile, gathered everyone together and asked everyone to keep quiet.
"As a review for the beginning of class, do you still remember what we learned in last week's class?"
Professor Sprout simply asked a question, and Qiu Zhang immediately raised his hand to answer, along with many Ravenclaw students and a small number of Hufflepuff students.
"Oh! Akizhang-san, right? I remember you. Then you can answer it!"
"Okay, Professor. Last week we learned about a vine called Devil's Web. A mature Devil's Web can stretch out snake-like tendrils to wrap around people who are close to it, causing injury or death. It likes..."
"Okay, okay, you answered very well, Qiu Zhang, maybe we can give others a chance."
Qiu Zhang listened to Professor Sprout's words, did not continue, and nodded obediently. Professor Sprout then looked around the students in the greenhouse classroom, hoping that everyone would take the initiative to raise their hands to answer questions.
"So, can anyone answer me, what is the weakness of Devil's Net?"
Everyone still raised their hands actively. Professor Sprout looked around at the students with their hands raised, and his eyes stayed on Cedric.
"Oh, that's right, Diggory, please answer it!"
"Professor, the devil's net likes cold and damp places, and is most afraid of warm sunlight. It can be resisted with fire."
"Yes, that's great. Diggory and Cho Chang, you will both win 5 points for your respective houses for your positive and studious attitude."
"Thank you Professor Sprout."
"Thank you Professor Sprout."
The two of them thanked each other in unison, and then turned to look at each other in a tacit understanding. Their eyes met and they couldn't help but laugh at each other's tacit understanding.
"Okay, after reviewing the previous content, we are going to learn new knowledge today. As you can see, there is a small flowerpot on the table in front of each of you, with your respective names on it, and next to it The seeds are the focus of our class, and it is also your practical exam that accounts for 30% of your final grade this semester."
The students were curiously playing with the potted plants in front of them and carefully checking the seeds.
"Professor, this seed should be sneezeweed!" Qiu Zhang asked with a confused look on his face.
"That's right, Qiu Zhang, this is also the focus of what we want to talk about today."
Professor Sprout waved her wand gently, and the small potted plant in front of her that was originally bare slowly sprouted green buds, and then continued to grow, with branches scattered in all directions, and finally blossomed into many rose-like flowers.
The whole process of the growth and flowering of sneezeweed was completely displayed in front of the students. It seems that Professor Sprout used some kind of magic that promotes growth.
"This is the final form of the sneezeweed. Your task is to patiently treat your sneezeweed like a child, take care of it carefully, and bloom beautiful flowers before the end of the term."
Everyone seemed to understand and nodded, and then Professor Sprout began to explain the knowledge of sneezeweed in detail.
"Helleborus is a flowering plant, now better known as the 'Christmas rose' (usually blooming at Christmas time), also known as the 'winter rose'. According to folklore, wizards use hellebores Grass is used to summon demons. However, in ancient times, people still used it more as a medicine to treat gout......."
The herbal medicine class passed very quickly, probably because everything Professor Sprout told us was very interesting. Under Professor Sprout’s guidance, we soon planted our own sneezeweed seeds ourselves.
"Okay, students, get out of class is about to end. Now you can take your sneezeweeds to Greenhouse No. 1 and place them one by one. From now on, everyone can go to the greenhouse often to take care of your own sneezeweeds. I will look forward to everyone's results!"
Professor Sprout made it clear to everyone, opened the door of Greenhouse No. 3, and everyone lined up one by one to go to Greenhouse No. 1.
Qiuzhang placed his sneezeweed in a small grid on the shelf and turned his flower pot so that the side with his name on it faced the front. Next to him, Cedric followed Qiuzhang and placed his sneezeweed potted plant on it. In the small grid next to Qiu Zhang. His eyes were still following Qiu Zhang's figure, his gentle expression smiling at Qiu Zhang.
"Um, Diggory, did you put it in the wrong place?" Marietta asked hesitantly, standing behind Cedric.
"Ah, is there any?"
Cedric didn't notice anything wrong, and even his eyes were still fixed on the image of the two sneezeweed potted plants of himself and Qiuzhang standing close together.
"What do you say?"
Marietta couldn't help but ask again. Qiu Zhang couldn't help but smile when he saw Cedric looking at him in a rare daze. He pointed helplessly at the plant stand where the Hufflepuff students were. He poked Cedric's shoulder with his finger and couldn't help but prompt.
"Digory, Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff are placed in separate houses. Hufflepuff is over there..."
Cedric finally came to his senses, and immediately turned around and apologized to Marietta in embarrassment. He then took one last look at his potted plant next to the sneezeweed with Akira's name on it, and took it away. Just go back to the Hufflepuff plant stand. Marietta finally nodded with satisfaction and placed her sneezeweed in the empty grid.
"Pfft! Diggory!"
Qiu Zhang couldn't help but grabbed Cedric's hand who was about to run away in embarrassment. Cedric turned back in confusion, probably because he hadn't gotten over the embarrassing situation just now.
"Digory, I wanted to ask you, do you want to come see me practice Quidditch?"
"Ah..." Cedric reacted blankly, as if he hadn't recovered from the embarrassment just now.
"Ah, no, I just heard you say before that you like Quidditch very much, didn't you?"
Qiu Zhang seemed to have found some excuse and gave himself some persuasion to continue speaking.
"Yes, that's it. I just... just wanted to invite you to practice Quidditch with me... If you can't do it..."
"I go!"
Cedric agreed immediately, as if he was afraid Qiu Zhang would regret it the next second. Qiu Zhang may not have expected that the corners of his mouth could not help but curl up, and two sweet dimples popped out, as if he was also happy for Qiu Zhang.
"Really? Then let's go together when I train tomorrow afternoon, okay?"
"it is good!"
Cedric looked at Qiu Zhang with a trace of undetectable endearment in his eyes, and his gentle expression became more tender. He touched Qiu Zhang's furry head and agreed.
