After resting against the wall for a while, Jon picked up a roll of gauze and wrapped it around the bruised part of his arm. He then drank the small bottle of pain-relieving magic potion.
Fortunately, it was only a flesh wound, or else he would have to go to the school hospital.
The pain gradually subsided. Jon stood up and changed into a new set of Hufflepuff robes in the Room of All Requests before leaving the place.
Jon was a person with a strong resistance to pressure.
He had known this for a very long time. Furthermore, he clearly knew what kind of personality he had.
Whether it was strong adaptability or ability to adapt to a new environment, Jon did not deny that he was such a person.
Except for now.
The pain-relieving magic potion was indeed very useful, but after the effect of the potion wore off, the dull pain in Jon's arms and chest began to spread uncontrollably.
Especially when these parts were touched, the pain made it impossible for him to concentrate.
Although it did not hurt his bones, there was definitely a blood clot … The injury was not light, and Jon could not go to the school hospital to explain where his injury came from. Even the clothes he was wearing when he was hit by the unicorn had been destroyed by him in the Room of All Requests.
The body in the growth stage recovered very quickly. As long as he did not do strenuous activities, he would be able to recover very quickly.
After figuring this out, Jon was very quiet in the following days, to the point that Stephen and the other two were very surprised by his change.
…
As time went by, it snowed a few more times in Hogwarts, and the whole school was soon completely covered in white.
The weather in the Scottish Highlands was relatively harsh. Jon knew this, so he did not go out if he could. Staying in the warm dormitory was much better than staying in the cold wind.
Only those reckless people whose minds were filled with adventure would go out in this kind of weather to challenge the cold.
Sitting on a chair and drinking a warm cup of tea, Jon closed his eyes in satisfaction, and in his mind, he deduced the magic circle that Helga taught him.
The semester was about to end, and the students of Hufflepuff College finally remembered what Professor Sprout had said. Recently, everyone in the common lounge was guessing what that "help" was.
Jon was the least anxious one.
He believed that Professor Sprout would not lie to him, and Professor Sprout was indeed a little busy recently.
Many senior students were helping the professor to take care of the herbs, so that these herbs could grow well and not die in the cold winter.
This was Hufflepuff's tradition. After all, the students of their academy were always talented in this kind of thing.
After recuperating for nearly half a month, the bruise on Jon's arm finally receded completely, and the dull pain in his chest was no longer there. He had returned to his previous physical condition.
All the food he had eaten recently was not in vain.
Jon's mood improved, and the atmosphere around him relaxed a lot. Stephen and the other two also began to relax.
Jon had a straight face every day and did everything carefully. Although they did not say it out loud, they were also a little nervous.
Fortunately, Professor Sprout finally fulfilled her promise before Christmas, and they attributed the change in Jon's mood to this incident.
It happened ten days before Christmas. That morning, when they were eating breakfast in the cafeteria, an owl threw a frosted envelope in front of Jon.
The letter was from Professor Sprout. The professor informed Jon of her plans for the club in advance. After all, Jon was the one who proposed the club. Professor Sprout also included some of her own ideas in the letter.
Jon felt that these ideas were very good, and much more rigorous than the plan he provided to Professor Sprout.
Jon carefully put the letter in his pocket and shared the news with his three roommates.
"So that means the club has nothing to do with us? We just need to participate, right? "
Fran bit into the pie and looked at Jon.
"That should be the case. The professor said that she will put the bulletin board in the lounge this Saturday, and then hold a meeting in the empty classroom next to the lounge."
"Is there an empty classroom next to the lounge?"
Jon nodded. "There are a lot of empty classrooms on campus, and they are all hidden behind portraits. The classroom that the professor chose is between the kitchen and the lounge. I remember that this classroom is very big, and can hold at least five years of students."
After all, this club was for all the students on campus, so it needed a lot of space.
"If that's the case, then I'm looking forward to it. But can this club really be run? Won't people feel unfamiliar with it, so they won't join right away? "
Jon felt that Scully's worries were reasonable, but Professor Sprout said that she would take care of these things very well.
"If the professor says so, then we don't have to worry too much. Anyway, the day after tomorrow is Saturday. Let's wait and see what the result is."
Jon's words made sense. The three of them didn't ask any more questions and continued eating.
By the time Jon was dragged from the dorm to the lounge on Saturday morning, the promotion of the club had already started.
Many seniors were explaining the meaning of this club to Hufflepuff's students. Jon glanced around and found that these were the seniors who had helped Professor Sprout take care of the herbs these days.
The bulletin board was placed in front of Hufflepuff's portrait. When Jon looked at it, Helga in the portrait winked at him.
She was obviously very satisfied with the appearance of this club.
Jon nodded slightly at Helga and then looked at the bulletin board.
This time, the bulletin board was very big, and there were many slogans written on it.
"This club was founded by Professor Sprout.
The only purpose is to improve the students' learning.
Learn what you haven't learned.
Learn what you want to learn.
Improve your magic.
Satisfy your whims.
To become an excellent sorcerer.
Magic discussion, spell improvement, spell use training.
The best students of Hufflepuff of all grades will guide you.
Let you get good grades at the end of the school year.
The School Championship is beckoning to you.
There are no restrictions on joining this club, and it is open to all students on campus.
No one is born ordinary. You should have your own shining point.
Hufflepuff represents integrity and kindness. I also hope that you learn to face it.
Magic represents mystery. You should learn to use it, analyze it, and change it.
I sincerely hope that my students are fearless on the path of magic research.
We sincerely welcome you to join.
— Hufflepuff Magic Research Society, Pomona Sprout. "
