The Little Superman of Hogwarts

#102 - Chapter 102 [Trivial Things]

Harry and Ron still arrived at Hogwarts by car — the only difference was that their car didn't crash into the Whomping Willow; instead, it plunged into the Black Lake in a shallow area, which allowed them to swim ashore safely.

Everyone could see the giant squid had coiled around the car, turning it into a nest, its large eyes peering out from inside the car windows, as if the octopus had been trapped inside a car-shaped bottle.

For a moment, the Gryffindor students were excited by Ron and Harry's crazy antics!

"A bunch of reckless fools!" Klee sneered…

From early the next morning, Ron and Harry once again became the top trending news at Hogwarts.

And this trending topic reached its climax during breakfast—Mrs. Weasley sent a Howler—Klee swore it was the loudest sound he had ever heard in the Great Hall since arriving at Hogwarts.

Everyone in the Great Hall heard the contents of the Howler—the most crucial information being that, because of this incident, Ron's father, Mr. Weasley, had to face scrutiny from his colleagues—obviously, this would be extremely embarrassing.

Ginny and Hermione were sitting together at the time, and the scene made Ginny lose face, plunging her into deep shame—why did she have such a brother? Percy Weasley had just been fired, and now Ron Weasley was on the verge of being expelled as well. Hermione comforted her for a long time before Ginny felt somewhat better.

Parvati Patil and Lavender Brown watched Hermione comforting Ginny the entire time. As breakfast was nearing its end, Brown said to Hermione, "Hermione, you've changed. You seem completely different from before!"

Patil added, "Yeah! Hermione, you no longer seem like a bookworm who only knows how to study. You're more like a leader, you know? Like—you're doing what a prefect should do. Ginny is also a good girl; she will definitely see you as a confidante."

Hearing this, Hermione was also somewhat lost in thought. Humans are like this; they are always the slowest to recognize changes in themselves. It's the bystander who sees the clearest. Hearing the evaluation from her two roommates, Hermione finally smiled happily and expressed her gratitude.

Professor McGonagall took advantage of breakfast to distribute the course schedules—the second-year courses were not much different from the first year, except that Flying class was removed, and the time for Flying class was all turned into Potions class.

Klee's goal for this semester was still to read through the library, but thanks to his current superpower evolution, his reading speed was now twice as fast as before. He could now read both sides of a page at the same time, and even read three pages of some books continuously. At his current speed, it would still take at least a year to read through all the books at Hogwarts.

The first class was Herbology, which was strange—in the original story, Gryffindor and Hufflepuff were supposed to have class together, but in the movie version, Gryffindor had class with Slytherin. However, the course schedule Klee received showed that all four houses had class together?!

Klee was filled with doubt—it seemed that his arrival had indeed changed some things on some level.

Klee and Hermione headed to the greenhouses together. Professor Sprout, the Herbology professor, was still dressed like a farm woman, which made her seem extremely approachable. In the first year, Professor Sprout was the only professor who had only positive comments about Klee, so Klee's relationship with Professor Sprout was very harmonious.

Professor Sprout stood behind a bench in the middle of the greenhouse. The bench was covered with a box of differently colored earmuffs. Klee and Hermione walked closer to the professor and sat down. Professor Sprout nodded to them in a friendly manner. Teachers always like smart students, especially when two smart students are together. After waiting for a while until almost everyone had arrived, the professor said:

"Today, we will be repotting Mandrakes. Now, who can tell me what the characteristics of Mandrakes are?"

Hermione and Klee did not raise their hands. A Ravenclaw witch raised her hand and said, "Mandrake, a powerful antidote."

"Good!" Sprout said, "Two points to Ravenclaw. But it's not that simple. Who else can tell me something more detailed?"

Sprout looked towards the location of Klee and Hermione. Klee raised his hand and said:

"Mandrake, scientific name Mandragora, also commonly known as: Poisonous Ginseng Eggplant, Sunflower, or Poison Apple. We can also call it Mandrake Root.

According to Muggle biology, it belongs to the Solanaceae Mandragora genus. In fact, the rhizome is highly poisonous, but because the content is relatively small, the effect is not significant, but you must be careful.

Its origin is Europe. It's a four-season herbaceous plant, distributed in the Himalayas, West Asia, the Middle East, Palestine, North Africa, and Southern Europe's Mediterranean region.

Its rhizome is shaped like a human. Besides the detoxification function that the classmate just mentioned, the medicinal effects of different locations on its body are also different. The tail and root hairs have a stronger anesthetic effect, and even have a hallucinogenic effect.

The main part of the rhizome has a stronger detoxification effect, which is why it is commonly referred to as an antidote. The parts above the ground can be used to make soup, to create certain decoctions, or, in Eastern terms, to 'clear heat and remove fire.' However, this kind of soup is very difficult to drink; it's bitter and has the smell of an anesthetic.

Besides that…"

Klee was about to continue when Professor Sprout quickly waved her hand, telling Klee to pause.

"Students! Quickly write down what Klee just said!" Although Professor Sprout had been shocked many times, she still had a feeling—this guy really isn't human.

A large group of students rustled as they wrote down these things. A few minutes later, Professor Sprout asked Klee, "How do you know such detailed knowledge? Some of the content I don't even know!"

"If you want to get detailed information on Mandrakes, I recommend you go to the library, to bookshelf 1202. There's a book called 'Comprehensive Overview of Mandrakes' by Massey Zidane, published in 1933. It records all the information about Mandrakes in detail, and even includes the author's own experience of planting Mandrakes.

Besides that, there are four or five similar books, such as 'Botany of the Himalayan Foothills,' 'Animals and Plants of the Mediterranean'…" Klee listed more than a dozen books, along with the author's name, publication date, and the exact location in the library.

Professor Sprout was stunned for a few seconds, and the students below the stage were also stunned—especially the Ravenclaw students. They had never had class with the Gryffindors in the previous year, and although they knew Klee was very powerful, they had never seen it with their own eyes—this was the first time they had witnessed Klee's 'performance time.'

The Ravenclaw geniuses were all questioning their lives—is this guy even human???
