Neville and Hanna's Complementarity
In October, autumn quietly arrives in the Scottish Highlands, and the chill gradually intensifies.
Most students felt that, perhaps due to the influence of the Dementor, this autumn was more gloomy than in previous years.
October in the Scottish Highlands always seems to be a time of heavy rain;
Although it wasn't as fierce as last year's rain, it felt much colder than last year's rain.
Accompanied by a series of footsteps, sometimes fast and sometimes slow, the Weasley twins staggered into the Mystic Corridor.
Fred turned weakly to the side and slumped into an armchair. "The rain is like hail right now."
George raised his right hand and extended his index finger, saying fiercely, "No doubt about it, it must have been the Dementor!"
These words seemed to drain all his strength, and like Fred, he slumped into another armchair.
Neville ran up to the two men, anxiously asking, "Fred... what happened to you? Were you attacked by Dementor?"
Fred's eyes seemed to have lost their luster, staring blankly at the sky. "Perhaps being attacked by Dementor... would make things a little easier?"
George felt the same way and slowly said, "We were attacked... the attackers... were an extremely terrifying creature..."
Neville's eyes widened, and he instinctively held his breath. "There are creatures more terrifying than... Dementor?"
"Yes!" Fred and George straightened up simultaneously, revealing wicked smiles as they shouted in unison, "Oliver Wood!"
Before Neville could react, he stumbled back a step after hearing their shouts.
"Ouch!" Fred and George exclaimed, quickly grabbing Neville's hands to prevent Neville from falling to the ground.
Neville patted his chest, still shaken, and after confirming that the two were alright, he quickly ran back to Hanna's side to continue studying the Magical Plants they had just brought back.
Starting with their visit to Wizet at the Hospital Wing last semester, the two suddenly had a breakthrough and gradually found their direction in their studies;
Furthermore, Wizet's paper published in The 《Hogwarts Voice》 this academic year further inspired the two of them, making them understand their interests and direction even more clearly.
If there's anything lacking, it's probably a lack of confidence. They need Fred and George to "encourage" them before they can make up their minds to "charge forward with their eyes closed."
Neville and Hanna have slightly different areas of expertise in the subject of Herbology.
Neville was clearly more interested in the cultivation and propagation of Magical Plants, and he was willing to patiently take care of all kinds of Magical Plants.
He also mentioned that when he was a child, he liked to play in his Uncle Algie's garden and would help Uncle Algie dig holes and fill them with soil to plant new plants in the garden.
It was precisely because of this that, despite his lack of magical talent, his Uncle Algie felt that he was not Squib and repeatedly tested him, trying to get him to show his magical talent.
It wasn't until he was eight years old that Neville finally revealed his magical talent due to an accident;
Neville's relatives wept with joy, and his Uncle Algie was overjoyed. He even bought him a toad as a pet, namely the toad Trevor, who often liked to escape.
Perhaps influenced by the Leaky Cauldron, Hanna developed a strong interest in grafting Magical Plants after realizing her passion for Herbology.
According to her, it might be because of the "mixing and matching" service offered by the Leaky Cauldron that she has a strong interest in "mixing and matching" various Magical Plants;
I want to try grafting different Magical Plants to see if it will produce a "one plus one is greater than two" effect.
Neville and Hanna complement each other to some extent;
After all, to truly complete the grafting of Magical Plants Magical Plants, ensure their survival, and achieve the desired effect, meticulous care of the grafted plants is essential.
Sprout was very supportive of them and would promptly provide answers whenever they encountered any confusion.
Wizet looked up at Fred and George, a slight smile playing on her lips. "You two got another 'Wood the Devil' treatment?"
"You still dare to laugh?" Fred raised his eyebrows, walked to the storage shelf next to him, and took out two bottles of Coolick. "It's all because of you!"
He gestured toward George and casually tossed one of the bottles of Coolick.
"Yes! It's all because of you!" George caught it without hesitation, opened the Coolick and took a sip. "When you dream about Wood at night?"
"No." Wizet shook her head slightly. "I usually sleep through the night."
"I feel that Wood right now..." Fred also took a sip of Coolick, white smoke coming out of his ears, "Maybe defeating Ravenclaw is more important than graduating."
George flicked the white smoke with his finger, turning it into smoke rings. "Do you know... how many versions of his Anti-Vizet Special Training ' are there now?"
"Hmm..." Wizet pursed her lips and pondered, finally shaking her head. "I don't know."
After the start of this academic year, Oliver Wood came up with a newly developed training plan and led the Gryffindor Quidditch Team in special training.
The so-called "Anti-Vizet Special Training" was not even a nickname given by Fred and George, but a real name written on the tactics board;
However, Oliver Wood did not say that, but only mentioned that it was "new school year, new training", and the tactical name was something the two of them happened to see;
The special training is divided into four parts. The first part is mainly to train Harry so that he can find the Golden Snitch more quickly in order to end the game as soon as possible.
The second part is to train Fred and George, improve their offensive efficiency, and harass Wizet as much as possible through Bludger;
The third part is training the remaining players. Fred and George will launch an attack on Wizet, so the other players must avoid the Bludger on their own.
The final part of the training was focused on Oliver Wood himself, who needed to be more alert and react faster to prevent Wizet from scoring.
During this process, Oliver Wood will continuously update the training plan based on the training results.
Luna guessed with great interest, "Could it be that it's been updated to... version thirteen?"
"You guessed right! But..." Fred pulled out a red Magical Fireworks, as if giving Luna a red card, "Professional athletes are prohibited from participating!"
"Wood is still training..." George stretched. "He said that because of the presence of Dementor, the weather at Hogwarts might not be very good for the foreseeable future."
"So he plans to train more..." Fred said, looking at Wizet. "He thinks that this kind of weather will also affect your performance."
George shrugged. "Honestly, I don't think it will affect you much... After all, you're Chaser, not Seeker... I'm afraid Harry would have a harder time in this kind of weather..."
