Chapter 186 Holiday Tuition

"This is incredible."

While eating in the hall, Cedric had already learned from Connor what happened in the potion class just now.

He smacked his lips and asked curiously: "I remember that the water of life and death is something that only students in the sixth grade will learn. How did you do it... Wait, don't tell me that you have finished all the potion textbooks!"

Kyle, who was cutting sausages, looked up at him and smiled: "What if that's the case."

Cedric was stunned for a moment, then half-jokingly said: "Then I can only give up Quidditch and make time to study harder... After all, being friends with the future master of potions is very stressful."

"It seems that I saved my life from Harris." Kyle patted his chest and said with some fear: "If you quit the team for this reason, he will definitely kill me!

"Okay, I admit that I was joking just now. "

Under everyone's gaze, Kyle continued, "It's just luck. I picked up a book called "Advanced Potion Making" a few days ago, and I just flipped through it to kill time, and I happened to see the process of making the Water of Life and Death."

It's true that he was lucky. If he hadn't learned the brain occlusion technique during the summer vacation, he wouldn't dare to jump in front of Snape like this.

Although this behavior is a bit suicidal, it's really cool,

especially when he saw Snape's expression of wanting to deduct points but not being able to, and doubting his life, Kyle almost couldn't help laughing out loud.

It's a pity that he couldn't take a picture of his appearance at that time, otherwise Kyle would definitely use the best developing potion to make it into a ghost animal animation, and then post it in every corner of Hogwarts.

I just don't know if there will be such an opportunity in the future. If there is, maybe he can consult Peeves...

"Even so, it's amazing."

At this time, Mikel, who was sitting on the other side of Kyle, sighed and said, "Professor Snape has clearly written down the process, but I just can't learn it. "

Mikel was the unlucky guy who exploded the crucible.

After he finished stirring, the original potion began to evaporate rapidly, and finally the crucible suddenly exploded, bursting out a pool of black jelly.

In a way, the effect of that thing in causing people to sleep may be better than the normal water of life and death, but no one dared to try it.

After dinner, several people returned to the common room and found a seat near the fireplace.

The blazing fire quickly dispelled the cold brought from outside, and several people leaned back on the sofa, squinting their eyes comfortably.

Because the Christmas holiday is coming soon, the little wizards in the lounge are very excited, and almost everyone is discussing the holiday arrangements.

Cedric listened to their conversation, turned his head and asked: "By the way, Kyle, are you really not going to go home this Christmas?"

"Yeah. "Kyle nodded.

Diana has not been home recently, and Chris has gone to Albania with Newt, so there is still no one at home this Christmas.

Last week, when Professor Sprout came to register the list of students who stayed in school for the holidays, Kyle immediately signed his name on it, and Connor did the same.

According to Connor, Snape seemed to want to give her extra lessons during the Christmas holidays, so she had to stay in school.

This made Kyle envious. Although he wanted to be thick-skinned and audit the class, he knew with his feet that Snape would definitely not agree.

In addition, Fred and George also planned to stay this year, because the Weasleys were going to Romania to visit Charlie, and they were not going to take them with them.

"Why are you all going to spend Christmas in school this year..." Cedric scratched his hair helplessly and said, "It would be too boring for me to go back alone. "

In fact, he also wanted to stay in school, and he even wrote a letter to his family for this purpose, but Mr. Diggory firmly disagreed.

Cedric couldn't go against his wishes, so he had to give up.

Fortunately, Qiu also chose to go home, so he didn't seem too out of place.

Several people sat in front of the fireplace until the afternoon, then reluctantly stood up and left the common room.

Cedric was going to the last spell class before the holiday.

Kyle and Connor were in the herbology class.

After the armored pumpkin last Halloween, in the last class before the Christmas holiday, Professor Sprout took out another magical plant that was suitable for the occasion.

Snow cap toadstool.

This is a fungus more than half a meter high, with circles of white lines on the cap, which looks like a Christmas tree with a layer of snowflakes on top. Like this.

As expected, Kyle won 20 points for Hufflepuff again.

I don't know whether it was to take care of other people's emotions or because of Christmas, when the get out of class was over, Professor Sprout gave everyone a pot of snow cap mushroom as a gift.

But Kyle was not very interested.

The main reason was that snow cap mushrooms were non-toxic ornamental plants, but they usually grew on the top of the mountain covered with snow all year round, and few young wizards had seen them.

In fact, you can buy a pot of snow cap mushrooms in Diagon Alley for only three Sickles, and it is even cheaper if it is seeds, twenty knuts per teaspoon.

Planting it in the flowerbed can only improve the food for the moon beast.

...

After Kyle, Connor and others finished the last herb class and came out of the greenhouse, everyone jumped up excitedly.

Tomorrow is the long-awaited holiday. If they didn't have to attend the evening banquet today, they would have wanted to board the train home right now.

At the back of the crowd, Connor whispered, "Kyle, how are you going to spend this holiday?"

"Probably nothing." Kyle thought for a while and said, "I was too busy before, so I can take a good rest during the holiday. I plan to take a good look around Hogwarts, or try the secret passage recommended by the Weasley brothers."

After listening to this, Connor couldn't help but show a bit of envy.

This holiday, she only has three days to do homework for various subjects, and the rest of the time will be used for make-up classes.

According to Professor Snape's words, "Your foundation is too poor, and such a good talent is wasted in vain. Make-up classes, must be made up!"

Originally, she had a week to do homework. If she moved faster, she could also free up a few days for free use.

But for some reason, just on the way to class, she suddenly received a note from Professor Snape, which said that the make-up class time would be advanced by four days, asking her to finish her homework as soon as possible.

There is no way out now. I can only finish my homework in three days and can’t do anything else.
