Hogwarts: Please Graduate Soon

Chapter 217: Jumping Toadstool, Wayne’S Second Speech

"The principal took me out to play for two days, and I hurried back from class today.

Wayne looked at the two of them strangely: "How long has it been since you two washed your hair?"

"It won't take long, right?"

Norman yawned, counted the time and said:

"Since the day you installed the Beauty Fountain, it has been washed once."

Wayne's head was full of black lines: "It's been almost ten days, Norman, why have you become so lazy?"

"It's not our fault." Toby shouted, "Didn't you say what you said the other day? If you wash your hair too much, it will become transparent faster.

"I don't want to be like my dad, who doesn't even need shampoo."

Norman also nodded with sadness.

Their fathers have almost the same appearance. If you only look at their scalps, you wouldn't be able to tell which one is your father.

"You are only a few years old, and you are worried about this." Wayne said with black lines on his head: "Go quickly, if you two are so sloppy again, don't ask me to borrow your homework for you to copy."

"Do you have to be so desperate?" Toby looked at Wayne desperately. Wayne didn't say anything, just stared at the two of them with his arms crossed.

Finally, they gave in and ran to the bathroom angrily.

Compared with the future baldness crisis, the current job crisis is more terrifying.

Professor McGonagall's deterrent power is much more realistic than baldness.

In the herbal medicine class, because the mandrakes were all mature, the little wizards who had taken care of them for more than half a year also replaced them with a brand new teaching aid - jumping toadstools.

This is a mushroom that can jump and has magical properties. It has strong medicinal properties and is an important auxiliary material for many kinds of magic potions.

For example, a large number of detanglers and shampoos on the market use toadstools, which can make hair shiny.

In front of each little wizard is a glass vessel containing more than a dozen milky white jumping toadstool larvae, buried in soil containing humus.

In this class, their task is to replace the soil and replenish the humus in the soil.

"Children." Professor Sprout clapped his hands, attracting everyone's attention.

"Remember, jumping toadstools are very fragile creatures before they mature, and they are easily frightened. Everyone must be gentle with your movements to avoid scaring them."

"Otherwise, the jumping toadstools will be everywhere, and you will have to find them again."

At the end of the day, Sprout became serious.

Hogwarts is also poor, and the school's funding sources are very limited.

In addition to the twelve big money donations each year, the Ministry of Magic will also subsidize a certain amount of funds to the school.

But the total amount of money cannot support the school's huge expenses.

Hogwarts is almost a completely free charity school. Tuition fees for all students are 560 free, and there are no accommodation and meal expenses.

The money that students spend on textbooks and robes does not reach the school.

Just the food and drink for a thousand people is a huge expense, plus the cost of teaching aids, professors' salaries, and daily castle maintenance.

The funds from alms alone are simply not enough.

So professors not only have to teach students, but they also have to worry about the school.

Every year, part of the herbs cultivated by the young wizards are given to Snape for use in classes, and the other part is sold to major potion shops and the Ministry of Magic.

Jumping toadstools are the best-selling kind, with large sales and high profits, and the materials used during cultivation are also very simple.

The humus content of the soil only needs to be sufficient, which means that some animal carcasses need to be buried in the soil.

Snape's endless florobworms, the leftover toads, and the carnivorous slugs from Hagrid's place were placed in front of each little wizard. A large wooden barrel was filled with these things.

As usual, they are in groups of two, and Wayne and Daphne were assigned together today.

Daphne was responsible for fluffing the fresh soil, and then dug a small hole. Wayne wore dragon skin gloves and buried the chopped animal carcasses in it.

Other people's dragon skin gloves are usually artificial, but his are the real thing.

I just came from Nico's house in the morning, and I didn't expect that the first lesson would come in handy.

"Okay, the next step is to transplant the jumping toadstools." Wayne said to Daphne: "You girls are careful, you can do this step."

Daphne nodded obediently, opened the glassware carefully, then used tweezers to gently pick up a jumping toadstool and put it into the newly prepared soil.

In the process, she tried to avoid touching other small mushrooms.

Wayne nodded with satisfaction.

As expected, she was a careful girl and saved him a lot of trouble.

"Ah sneeze!"

Maybe he caught a cold after washing his hair and coming out to class in the morning. Norman couldn't hold it back and sneezed loudly.

Toby has quick eyesight and quick hands. The moment the toadstool was awakened, he covered the top of the glassware.

Across from them, Malfoy and Goyle were not so lucky.

Gore was startled, and with a tremor of his hand, he knocked over his glassware. All the jumping toadstools were awakened and fled in all directions, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

"Mr. Goyle, Mr. Malfoy, I told you to be careful, why are you still so careless?" Professor Sprout said displeased: "Go and find them quickly, or you can't leave after class."

The Malfoys were numb.

Have you been so unlucky lately?

His dad was kicked off the school board, the house elf was lost, and now he has to be tricked by Goyle in class?

He was extremely reluctant, but Malfoy still glared at Norman, followed Goyle and started looking for toadstools all over the room.

Until the end of get out of class, there were still two missing.

Fortunately, Sprout didn't embarrass them too much and let them go after saying a few words.

Wayne and the little badgers hurried back to the auditorium to show off their meal. Along the way, everyone was discussing whether the jumping toadstools could mature before they left school.

If possible, you can borrow some to try out at that time. This is a good ingredient.

The senior students mentioned the delicious taste of jumping toadstools more than once.

"I think it should be okay." Wayne wiped the tears from the corner of his mouth, being tempted by the texture and taste that Hannah just mentioned.

"If that doesn't work, I'll add a little bit of material to the soil to make them mature faster."

"Yeah, yeah, yeah." Hannah nodded crazily: "I'll make cream of mushroom soup for you then.

"It's a deal."

"Wayne, do you want to hold another kitchen competition?"

"Next semester, it's time to review for the exam. The professors will definitely not agree."

A group of people walked into the auditorium talking and laughing, but Wayne was stopped by Snape.

"Give me some basilisk materials first."

"Professor, you pay with one hand and deliver the goods with the other hand." Wayne said unhappily.

Ever since that time when he exchanged Phoenix King's tears for potions, Snape had been trying to frustrate him for almost a semester. Since then, Wayne had not given him any benefits when doing business with him.

"Except for those time-consuming potions, I can give you the rest of the afternoon." Snape said with a straight face, "But you must give me some materials first. I need them urgently."

Seeing that Wayne was unmoved, he added: "This is what Dumbledore needs."

Wayne looked at the old bat.

Snape's brows were furrowed, his eyes were bloodshot, and he was in a very bad condition.

He had a guess in his mind and whispered:

"You know about the diary and Tom?"

Dumbledore trusted many people.

Professor McGonagall, several deans, and members of the Order of the Phoenix were extremely loyal to him.

But when it comes to fighting against Voldemort, the one he trusts most is Snape.

Professor McGonagall's character was not suitable for conspiracy. Snape was full of bad intentions and full of hatred for Voldemort, making him the best tool.

Sure enough, after hearing Wayne's words, Snape's expression worsened and he nodded slowly.

He was only revealed by Dumbledore yesterday.

As a double agent, Snape played a very important role. If the future predicted in the picture comes true, all he needs to do is to reveal the news of Tom's existence to Voldemort when necessary and lead them to turn against each other.

And if you rush to Wayne to ask for materials, you also need him to make some medicine.

Snape wanted to see if he could use the flesh and blood of the basilisk to improve the potency.

"Okay, I'll go look for you in your office after class this afternoon." Wayne agreed without saying anything else this time.

After getting the answer he wanted, Snape felt a lot more comfortable and walked into the auditorium with Wayne.

In the afternoon, Gryffindor and Hufflepuff were originally going to take a Defense Against the Dark Arts class, but since the professors were all cold, the classes could only be turned into self-study classes.

If other professors don't have classes, they can help temporarily, but (cibh) all the professors are very busy on Monday afternoon and have no free time at all.

However, the little wizards were not unhappy at all, and now they could act openly and openly.

Anyway, when Lockhart was here, they mostly had them study and act in plays, which made them more comfortable.

The classroom was very lively at this time, and the self-study became a tea party.

After being hospitalized for a few days for observation, Harry was released after being determined to be fine. He was talking to Ronald and Neville about his previous experience.

"Twice, I've been cheated twice in a row."

"Quirrell is the first grader, and Lockhart is the second grader. I have discovered that none of the Defense Against the Dark Arts professors are good.

Thinking of how he had been fooled by Lockhart, Harry wanted to punch him twice.

"The school should just cancel this course from now on." Harry said angrily, "It's better to let Snape teach it."

"You have Wayne to help make up classes. It won't be affected if you cancel. We don't have that much money." Ronald complained.

"Death Eaters, Heir to the Chamber of Secrets, what will it be next year?"

"Could it be a vampire?"

Wayne, who was reading Hermione's palm, almost laughed out loud and turned to look at them: "If it doesn't work, Harry, go and write a letter of complaint to Dumbledore.

"You are the boy who survived. If you want a normal professor, he will definitely not refuse such a small request.

"Wayne, stop kidding me." Harry's face turned red with embarrassment.

Because of what happened in the secret room, he has become a famous figure in the school again.

Many young wizards who had misunderstood him before came to apologize sincerely. Colin, a first-year student, was able to capture similar scenes every time as if he had released a tracking spell on him.

"I'm serious." Wayne sat up straight and said seriously: "I haven't learned anything for two consecutive years. If this continues, everyone will have opinions.

"That's right!"

"Wayne is right, this lesson is like nothing and a waste of time."

"Two years later, I'm still a loser."

"Is it possible that this has nothing to do with the professor?"

Ernie McMillan jumped out: "Wayne, take us for another wave!"

"You're right, I support Wayne! He is the one everyone hopes for!"

All of a sudden, the classroom exploded, and everyone's dissatisfaction burst out.

"Thank you everyone, thank you everyone." Wayne stood up with a smile on his face and put his hands down

The students in the room were quieted down.

"I understand everyone's feelings, but this is not a problem that only exists now, is it?"

"No one cares. No one thinks that we are the future of the wizarding world."

"I know Professor Dumbledore is very difficult, and there are many rumors about curses, but isn't this the responsibility of the headmaster?"

The atmosphere was stagnant, and then thunderous applause broke out.

Hermione's eyes widened and she looked at the boy.

This speech sounded so familiar... She seemed to have heard something similar somewhere.

"We must unite!" Wayne clenched his fists excitedly: "We must unite into a strong German... group. Some people may be punished, but the final victory will belong to us!"

"On the last day of the semester, I will go to the principal's office to submit my appeal, and if you will, follow me."

"Why is it the last day of the semester?" Ronald asked stupidly.

"Idiot." Hannah glared at him: "Just hand in the letter and you can catch the train home. Even if the professor wants to punish you, he can't find anyone."

Ronald suddenly understood, and others also understood Wayne's thoughts.

"Remember, don't reveal this matter first." Wayne waved his hand: "Be patient!"

"If the professor finds out, there will be no suddenness or impact, and the principal will not pay attention to it."

"After the exam is over, everyone will contact relatives and friends, as well as students from other grades. We can't be the only ones writing letters this time. The words of adults will have more weight than those of us little wizards."

"Got it!" Everyone shouted in unison, their eyes filled with excitement.

Wayne sat down with satisfaction.

Harry pulled on Wayne's sleeve nervously: "Isn't it bad to do this? Professor Dumbledore is not easy either.

"Harry, I'm not making things difficult for the principal."

Wayne said with a hurt expression: "I just want everyone to have a qualified Defense Against the Dark Arts professor. Even if he is a werewolf or a Death Eater, it doesn't matter, as long as he can learn useful magic."

"If you think it's wrong for me to want to get what students deserve, then let me continue to be wrong."

"That's right." Ronald couldn't stand it anymore, "Harry, Wayne is thinking about everyone, don't always look to Professor Dumbledore.

Feeling that the others were looking at him with unkind eyes, Harry also shrank his neck and did not dare to say any more.

If you say anything else, it will cause public outrage.

After class, Hermione held Wayne's hand and the two walked side by side. She still didn't understand why Wayne's speech just now sounded so familiar.

Arriving on the second floor, Wayne said to her, "You go to the library first, I'm going to find Professor Snape."

"I'll see you later."

"No need." Hermione shook her head: "Just go to the auditorium to meet up later."

"Well, see you later."

"Bye-Bye."

After watching Hermione enter the library, Wayne walked down the stairs and all the way to the basement.

There was the sound of hurried footsteps and the light and shadow of a curse in front of him. Wayne raised his eyebrows and saw the twins jumping up and down and running around the corner of the corridor, begging for mercy.

"Cedric, brother! We are in the wrong, stop chasing, stop chasing!"

"This time it was really not a prank, and we didn't expect it to be successful right away!"

Thank you [Oh Oh Oh] [Fan, Ming] for the reward, and also thank other readers for their great support.

I finished it relatively early today. I will add another chapter later, and I will make sure to update it three times tomorrow.

I also recommend a book, "Comprehensive Comics: I'm Not Interested in Destroying the Universe as a Saiyan", written by a fandom master. There are many completed books, and his character is guaranteed.
