Chapter 55 Badger is worried about you and made a cake for you

Perhaps because of the school-wide excitement in the morning, everyone was in a good mood.

Well... it was pretty good until the first class.

"Ms. Abbott, I don't think the Flobberworm will slice itself, huh?"

The low ending tone made Hannah quickly pick up the slicing knife:

"Okay... okay professor!"

"Why are you looking at me, are you waiting for me to help you stir the potion in the crucible?"

Professor Snape's eyes narrowed and looked at a student who had been distracted and forgot to stir the potion.

Professor Snape glanced around the classroom, ignoring a certain outlier very naturally, and slowly walked to the podium:

"I hope that a vacation has not emptied your brains, otherwise I can only regrettably help you fill them up in some other ways."

Professor Snape showed a creepy smile on his face that made the students shudder:

"It just so happens that I have a new batch of toads and slugs that need to be dealt with."

...

"Huh~ I knew something was wrong when I saw the first bubble pop up. Fortunately, I reacted quickly enough and remembered that I forgot to put the shrinking figs in it. I quickly added it in, and in the end the potion didn't have any problems."

After class, Cologne let out a long breath, almost unable to help applauding his own wit.

Otherwise, his name would definitely be added to the students who were sprayed with venom by Professor Snape just now.

Bernard also breathed a sigh of relief. As a partner, could he escape from being sprayed by Cologne?

In the afternoon, it was the Herbology class. Everyone thought that they could be healed by the kind and gentle dean, but they didn't expect to see Professor Sprout's expression that was obviously not very happy.

"Oh my God, did the school board find out that Professor Dumbledore embezzled public funds to buy candy and cut off the funding supply to Hogwarts?"

Cologne couldn't help but open his mouth.

Otherwise, he really couldn't imagine why Professor Sprout, who always had a gentle smile all year round, showed this expression.

"Don't talk nonsense."

Uther also frowned while speaking. Did someone do something excessive to the dean?

It turns out that although the badgers don't seem to have a strong presence in the school on weekdays, they are very efficient in action. When the dean was suspected of being bullied, someone collected relevant information before dinner.

"It's the new Professor Lockhart!"

Senior Vivian slapped a book of Lockhart on the table.

"Well, is there any misunderstanding? After all, what we have collected are all speculations, and no one has seen it with their own eyes, right?"

After all, there is no specific contact with Lockhart, and most students now - especially girls - still have certain fantasies about this new professor.

Besides, it is unlikely that a new professor would offend a dean on his first day at work, right?

In comparison, they were more willing to believe that it was a disobedient student who did it, and Professor Lockhart might have just happened to catch up.

"Well, it seems that there is no direct evidence."

Vivian thought about it. Although the news she got from the Gryffindor who took the Herbology class in the morning was very indicative, it seemed not strong enough to say that it was definitely done by Professor Lockhart.

Although the culprit was not caught, at Adam's suggestion, several of them who knew each other made a big cake for Professor Sprout as a comfort.

The cake base was made by everyone, and everyone used their imagination and creativity to decorate the top, but those who were not good at hands-on could only ask Adam to do it.

Everyone couldn't be more satisfied with the final product, especially the fondant decoration in the center of the cake - Professor Sprout surrounded by a group of badgers.

Looking at this big cake, everyone couldn't help swallowing their saliva.

No, I can't eat it. This is for the dean...

"Oh my god, Adam, you will definitely make a lot of money even if you only sell fondant cakes in the future!"

Cedric looked at the small but still lifelike Professor Sprout and couldn't help sighing.

"Cedric, please don't say such words that threaten my happiness in the second half of my life."

Bruce touched his belly. Since he became addicted to the food made by Adam, his dessert intake has increased, but his belly has become smaller... Now this is still fat during the holidays.

After thinking it over, Bruce felt that if he could always eat the food made by Adam, it would be just around the corner to lose weight and become a perfect figure!

Everyone sent the cake to Professor Sprout's office together, and the fat gray-haired witch covered her mouth all of a sudden:

"Oh! Oh my god... Is this for me?"

"Of course, Professor Sprout, we hope you can live happily every day."

At this moment, Bernard, who has always been able to be punished or handcuffed, behaved very well.

Hufflepuff is the most populous house, but Professor Sprout always cares about every Hufflepuff. Because he is worried that Bernard, who comes from a Muggle family, cannot adapt well to Hogwarts, Bernard has also been given special care.

"Of course, I am happy every day, especially today!"

Professor Sprout looked at the cake in front of him, took out his wand and waved it:

"Let's eat together, I can't finish such a big cake by myself."

The fondant in the middle of the cake was retained by Professor Sprout. It was too big. Everyone got a piece of cake as big as a face plate, but there was still a small half left.

"I will bring these cakes to other professors during dinner later so that everyone can taste them together."

As Professor Sprout spoke, he used magic to press the piece of fondant back, obviously planning to let other professors take a look at it in the evening.

While eating the cake, Bernard couldn't help but bring up the unsolved mystery:

"Professor Sprout, on the first day of school we noticed that you didn't seem very happy. Did you run into some trouble?"

"Oh? What? The first day of school..."

Professor Sprout fell into memories. What did she do that day?

Oh, by the way, Harry Potter and Ron Weasley's flying car injured the Whomping Willow. She splinted the Whomping Willow that day, and then...

That's when I met Lockhart.

Recalling that person, Professor Sprout couldn't help but frown.

She remembered that child who liked to attract everyone's attention in class. Originally, she was really happy for him after knowing that he had achieved good results, but when she really got in touch with him, she found that he seemed to be... how should I put it...

Although she had no intention of commenting on the quality of other people, the fact that the other person almost caused problems with her treatment of the Whomping Willow that day did make Professor Sprout a little annoyed.

After thinking of this, Professor Sprout also understood why he received such a surprise today.

"It's nothing, it's just that I treated the injured Whomping Willow that day, and I felt a little distressed when I saw the broken part of the Whomping Willow."

Professor Sprout smiled softly.
