#140 - How can a top student have friends?

Professor Snape displayed a wordless, wandless spell before leaving, something that aroused envy.

This outstanding spellcasting ability was also a goal that Moon had been pursuing.

Although Moon can only successfully cast the [Cleaning Charm], [Mending Charm], [Levitation Charm], and [Leg-Locker Curse] silently at the moment.

However, the success of these four spells also made Moon realize that his method of practicing spells was not wrong.

Devoting a lot of time to diligently practice a spell will lead to a deeper understanding of the spell, then the corresponding spellcasting speed will inevitably continue to increase.

Until later, he can gradually complete silent spellcasting, wandless spellcasting, and silent wandless spellcasting.

After this experience summary, Moon practiced the previous spells in the spell practice classroom in addition to learning the [Shield Charm].

This forced Moon to master more spells in a shorter practice time, which invisibly improved his spellcasting speed.

After dinner on Monday evening, when Moon arrived at the Herbology Club, he saw a frowning Cedric.

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with the Sleeping Narcissus?"

"That's right, this little guy seems to like dragon dung fertilizer very much, they are growing too fast now."

Cedric pointed to the three large flowerpots on the shelf as he spoke.

"They have grown so much in just three days, I don't know what to do with them."

To be honest, Moon was a little envious to see the Sleeping Narcissus triple in such a short period.

He used dragon dung fertilizer to cultivate crops, but most of the crops were burned to death, which forced him to find another way.

Cedric's troubles were the opposite.

The Small Living Death Potion he wanted to brew originally required a long time to prepare.

And during this period, the Sleeping Narcissus will definitely continue to grow wildly, which makes him have to worry.

"You know, their toxicity is very strong, if they really can't be controlled, I'm worried they will cause some trouble."

Moon already knew about the toxicity of the Sleeping Narcissus.

Last week, after Snape walked into the potions classroom, he only smelled a little of the spore powder extracted by Cedric, and had to gulp down a whole bottle of antidote.

Afterwards, the professor drove Cedric away with some lingering fear.

"I think Professor Sprout will definitely have a solution, after all, she is an expert in this field."

Moon also knew that these spore powders must be taken care of, but handing this kind of toxic thing to professionals should be the best way.

"That's the only way."

"By the way, how is your Small Living Death Potion preparation going?"

In addition to learning complex brewing techniques, Cedric also needs to prepare expensive magical ingredients himself to brew this potion.

"It's a bit difficult, although my family supported some, it's still a lot short to collect all the material costs."

Cedric showed an embarrassed expression as he spoke.

Although his father only has one child, and works in the Ministry of Magic with a good income.

Originally, it was not difficult for him to equip a set of potion ingredients.

But what Cedric wanted to do was not to successfully brew the potion.

But to improve the potion.

In this case, a set of potion ingredients may not be enough at all.

After all, no one can guarantee that the Small Living Death Potion can be brewed successfully in one go.

"I know a cheap material that might be able to replace the Soothing Herb powder in this potion."

Moon knew that Cedric was a very competitive little wizard, so he did not offer to help with money, but said a potion ingredient.

"Although Soothing Herb is not expensive, a large amount of its powder is needed to brew the Living Death Potion, so it's not cheap, are you sure?"

Cedric asked curiously.

"Of course, and I brought some today."

Moon took out the batfish powder that he had prefabricated on the Scarlet Moon.

Moon has already experimented with this potion ingredient, and it can perfectly replace Soothing Herb in healing potions for cuts.

Of course, for Moon, being able to replace Soothing Herb is not the most important thing.

Batfish are very convenient and extremely cheap to obtain in another world, which is very important.

Sailors and coastal residents near the Vena Islands often eat this fish, but the fish guts are all discarded.

Especially now that Moon has his own ship, it is even more convenient for him to salvage this fish.

"What is this material? It has a fishy smell, are you sure it will work?"

"Of course, I have already used it to brew other potions."

Cedric nodded happily when he heard that other potions had been successfully brewed.

"To be honest, I really don't know how to thank you, if, I mean if, I can get Mr. Newt's Mooncalf plant, after brewing it into a potion, I am willing to share it with you."

After Cedric finished speaking, he was a little unsure whether he could win the herbology competition, and then added.

"Of course, if you have other things, I am also very happy to help."

Moon smiled when he heard Cedric say this.

He just happened to have something that would be very suitable for Cedric to help with.

"If you can help me practice the [Shield Charm], then I will provide this powder for free."

"Shield Charm? Isn't this a spell that fifth-year students can learn?

Cedric was very familiar with this spell, although he was only in the third grade, his father had already taught him this spell in advance.

And Cedric has been able to successfully cast this spell after more than a year of practice.

Although the magic defense range formed after he successfully cast it is only a small piece, this also made Cedric happy for a long time.

"It is indeed a fifth-year spell, but I have a swot friend, she can always find all kinds of out-of-syllabus magic knowledge in the library."

"Do swots have friends? Especially with another swot."

Cedric's focus was not on how Moon got the [Shield Charm].

In his opinion, swot friends are more worthy of attention.

Because in Cedric's past experience, those swots who like to stay in the library all year round mostly like to come and go alone.

Most of these people think that the road to learning magic is lonely, and interacting with others will affect their learning of magic.

For example, Gryffindor's Percy, Ravenclaw's Penelope Clearwater.

And Moon, in fact, looks very much like a little swot in Cedric's eyes.

It's just that Moon doesn't run to the library as diligently.

It is a little difficult for Cedric to understand that two swots become good friends.

Moon didn't care about Cedric's complaint.

Anyway, he himself can understand that it is enough to have the benefits of a swot friend.

At seven o'clock in the evening, Professor Sprout arrived at the Herbology Club on time.

After the senior students had finished asking questions, Moon and Cedric walked up with a pot of Sleeping Narcissus.

"Oh! Wait a moment, I'll put on a thickened mask first."

After Professor Sprout and the surrounding senior students had finished their protection, the Sleeping Narcissus was allowed to be placed on the podium.

"You want me to help deal with these spore powders."

"Yes, Professor, their toxicity is getting stronger and stronger, although it is not fatal, it is also harmful."

"But I don't have a solution for the time being~"

As soon as Sprout finished speaking, Moon reminded him appropriately from the side.

"Professor, don't you have a plant that needs a growth potion? Does it need it?"
