Theodore Notts second hospitalization didnt create much commotion at Hogwarts.
On the one hand, students from other houses remained unaware of the incident.
On the other hand, Slytherin students who knew about it accepted Madam Pomfreys explanation that Notts accident resulted from his failure to Follow the doctors advice.
Over ti, the impact of the previous attack gradually waned, and Hogwarts returned to its peaceful state.
Life continued as usual, except that the Slytherin boys dormitory once again belonged to Matthew Wickfield alone, which was a welcod change.
However, Matthew couldnt forget Notts words before he fainted Its still here.
He deduced that the book must still be in his bedroom.
Despite his thorough search, the book remained elusive.
Days passed, and the book showed no sign of reappearing.
It seed to have vanished from his life completely.
Nevertheless, Matthew chose not to let it intimidate him and faced his new life calmly.
The second week of classes proceeded smoothly.
In Herbology, Professor Sprout led them into the greenhouse, although it housed only the least dangerous and rare plants.
The initial excitent of the students waned when they found nothing but various mushrooms inside.
Observing their lack of enthusiasm, Professor Sprout earnestly addressed them, When encountering a strange plant, the ability to judge whether it poses a threat is crucial. Familiarizing yourselves with different mushrooms, you will build a solid foundation for future plant assessnts. Mushrooms are the most obvious examples; as long as you dont consu them, they wont harm you.
She then promised to introduce more magical plants, their habits, and appearances in the coming sesters, eventually leading them to the third greenhouse, where they would encounter dangerous magical plants.
This increased the enthusiasm of the students in Herbology.
In the Spell class, they focused on the Hovering Charm.
While not a simple spell, Matthew quickly mastered it and beca the second student, right after Ravenclaws Hermione Granger, to successfully complete it.
However, Matthew realized that the Hovering Charm alone couldnt send an adult wizard into the sky after performing the sliding shovel maneuver.
It lacked the necessary power, requiring a more advanced Levitation Charm to achieve such a feat.
During the second Potions class, Professor Slughorn praised Matthew multiple tis and highly evaluated the Swelling Solution prepared by Matthew Wickfield and Neville Longbottom.
Although Matthew believed Neville made a more significant contribution, he suspected Draco Malfoys absence due to the incident might influence Professor Slughorns attitude.
In contrast, Harry Evans continued to perform poorly, making nurous mistakes and receiving direct criticism from Professor Slughorn as a typical example.
After class, Harry leaves the potions classroom in sha, leaving his companion Ronald Weasley to clean the cauldron alone.
Defense Against the Dark Arts remained extrely strict.
Professor Rosier resud following the textbook list, starting with the first chapter of The Dark Forces: A Guide to Self-Protectionthe Full Body-Bind Curse.
They focused on theory rather than practical exercises in class, ticulously noting down the skills and precautions associated with the Curse.
As class ended, Professor Rozier assigned another lengthy essay.
The second week at Hogwarts ca to an end.
Matthew Wickfield felt increasingly familiar with life at the school, growing accustod to it and perhaps even developing a fondness for it.
Reciting the password, Pure Blood is Thicker Than Muggles Blood, he entered the Slytherin common room.
Soon after, he noticed the new password for the next two weeks on the bulletin board Noble Ambition.
He wrote it down in his notebook and entered his bedroom.
Matthew realized sothing strange was happening inside the room. In the dark, on top of his desk, there is a glowing green light.
He cautiously goes to his desk, realizing it was the After School Practice parchnt.
It continued glowing in a green light; when Matthew examined it, he found letters written on the blank parchnt.
