#84 - Changes of Sleepy Face Bacteria
Ron had made Hermione angry again, though he didn't think so himself.
“Is she always like this?”
After watching Hermione leave in anger, Ron looked around, wanting to say something in his defense.

However, his companions just smiled and didn't say anything.
“What's wrong?”
Just then, Moon finished practicing the [Petrification Charm]. Seeing Hermione leave, he walked over curiously.
“It's nothing, Hermione said she wanted to improve the hand warmer.”
Ron was about to explain, but Harry stepped in and took over.
“Is the hand warmer already done? She's too quick!”
Moon didn't expect that Hermione would actually make it in the afternoon after he had only suggested it in the morning.
“Actually, her work is a little short. It was too hot just now.”
After listening to Harry's explanation, Moon knew what was going on.
Hermione's strong personality would definitely not allow anyone to say that the things she made were not good, and Ron's tone was the most hurtful.
Thinking of this, Moon felt like he had missed another great show.
“Actually, making this thing is destined to fail many times, but as long as you do it slowly, you will definitely succeed.”
With the experience of making wands, Moon had a new understanding of the production of these magical items.
Planting magical trees, carving wands, embedding wand cores...
He had failed dozens of times in these steps, taking more than two months before he could make a wand that was not perfect.
Although the [Hand Warmer] was not as complicated as the wand in his imagination, it was indeed difficult to make a finished product in one day.
And Hermione had made one in just half a day, which was actually better than many people.
......
The spell practice continued until about five o'clock in the afternoon. After Wood finished class, Harry was scheduled to go to the Quidditch pitch for training.
Moon was also preparing to have dinner and then go to the Monday gathering of the [Crab Claw Orchid Club].
So, the group left the spell practice room together.
Bouncing bid farewell to Mrs. Norris reluctantly, then jumped onto Moon's shoulder.
“Chirp~” (I received a gift, happy~)
“A gift? Did Mrs. Norris give it to you?”
“Chirp chirp!” (That's right!)
As he spoke, Bouncing took out a golden coin from his pocket.
“This is......”
At first glance, Moon thought it was a Galleon.
But after careful identification, Moon found that this gold coin was smaller than a Galleon, and the color was brighter.
“Shouldn't be a Galleon, right?”
Moon couldn't tell what the gold coin was, but he knew it wasn't given by Mrs. Norris.
......
Seeing Kneazle jump onto Moon's shoulder and leave, Filch also picked up his pet cat.
“Don't worry, dear, your friend will definitely like this gift.”
The gold coin was a prank toy that Filch had confiscated from a student.
It was only after he asked Snape to identify it that he knew that this shiny thing was a fake Galleon.
In fact, after seeing Bouncing give Mrs. Norris fish, Filch had thought about giving some gifts in return.
After searching for a long time, he found this gift that was very suitable for Kneazle.
......
Bouncing really liked shiny things, so he decided to go to the Black Lake again to catch two big fish for Mrs. Norris.
“Then you have to be careful. The weather is so cold, the lake water must be even colder.”
After Moon finished speaking, a hint of hesitation appeared in Bouncing's eyes.
But after looking at the gold coin in his hand again, he resolutely jumped off Moon's shoulder and ran quickly towards the outside of the castle.
“Chirp~” (Wait for me to come back tonight~)
Watching a black dot slowly disappear from his sight, Moon decided to make a hand warmer as soon as possible, even if it was for Bouncing, he had to speed up his actions.
......
After dinner, Moon and Cedric came to the Herbology Club classroom together.
The stairs on one side of the classroom had been repaired, and the floor that the troll had broken had returned to its original state.
“Just because you defeated the troll, Professor Sprout has been arguing with Professor Flitwick these past two days about which aspect you have more talent in.”
Seeing Moon look at the troll battlefield outside the club a week ago, Cedric smiled and talked about what he had seen in the morning.
Professor Flitwick, on the night the troll fell, saw Moon cast the [Leg-Locking Curse] so quickly, he believed that Moon had the highest talent in spells.
Professor Sprout was obviously unwilling to admit this.
She refuted Professor Flitwick's point of view with Moon's wand making, magical plant care, dragon blood grass, and moon grass cultivation.
“Which professor do you think is right?”
After Cedric finished speaking, he couldn't help but look at this mysterious junior beside him.
“I think I just spend more time on herbology plants and spells. As for talent, I should be the same as everyone else.”
Moon explained with a smile and walked into the club classroom. He still had to check the condition of thirty-two magical plants today.
Watching Moon enter the classroom and immediately devote himself to the research of magical plants, Cedric felt that what this junior said just now made a lot of sense.
Infected by Moon, Cedric immediately entered the classroom and began his research on the Sleepy Face Mushroom.
This little black mushroom has now grown to the size of a palm.
And after adding the sawdust of the magical tree, a small number of green spots appeared on its cap.
Cedric, who had experience in wilderness exploration, knew that mushrooms with bright colors would have a certain degree of toxicity.
So, he must be more careful when conducting research now.
......
After Moon checked all the plants, he came to the Sleepy Face Mushroom.
“How is the little mushroom now?”
Looking at the glass bottle in Cedric's hand, Moon couldn't help but be curious.
Now Moon knows all the plants in the entire classroom very well, but only the plants of the students who have left school need to be taken care of carefully.
As for the club members who are still in school, they generally take good care of their own plants.
And Cedric's Sleepy Face Mushroom is the one that Moon pays the most attention to.
“Green spots have appeared on its cap, and the color of the spore powder also has a tendency to turn green. As for the medicinal properties, I think it should be even greater.”
Next to the Sleepy Face Mushroom are three glass bottles containing spore powder.
The color of the spore powder inside is slowly changing from the original pure black to green.
As for the medicinal properties, it can actually be seen from the changes in Cedric's method of collecting spore powder.
When he first started collecting black spore powder, Cedric didn't even need to wear a mask, and even if he inhaled a small amount into his mouth, nothing would happen.
But later, after the Sleepy Face Mushroom absorbed the energy of the magical plant, its ability to make people sleepy also greatly increased.
Cedric was sent to the school hospital because he accidentally inhaled a little during a collection.
It was also after that time that Professor Sprout demanded that a thickened mask must be worn every time spore powder was collected.
“Do you think we should use these latest spore powders to cultivate a new batch of Sleepy Face Mushrooms? I think they must be stronger than the old mushrooms.”
“I think so.”
When planting magical trees with Moon, Cedric discovered that Moon had a far better understanding of magical energy than ordinary people.
So now, as long as the Sleepy Face Mushroom undergoes magical changes, he will let Moon study it together.
While the two were discussing what to do next, the classroom door opened.
Professor Sprout arrived at the club on time.
