A Professor of Magic at Hogwarts Chapter 208: Patient


Half an hour later, Felix and Mrs. Longbottom stood in front of an old-fashioned red brick department store. There was a big sign "Closed for renovation" on the door.

Felix was looking through the window at several tattered plastic dummies in front of him. One of them was the ugliest. She moved crookedly, her eyelashes stuck to her face, and she was wearing a green nylon dress.

"I guess it's never been opened?" he said affirmatively.

"What nonsense, the Ministry of Magic has put a lot of thought into finding a suitable place." Mrs. Longbottom said absently. Are you really sure, Professor Haipu? I have experienced too many disappointments over the years."

"I can't give an affirmative answer, ma'am. This is a compensation measure I thought of impromptu. After all, my request may seem... not so close to humanity." Felix said.

Madam Longbottom pursed her lips: "The magic riot you mentioned... are you sure there is no danger?"

"Is there any danger in the magic riots of little wizards when they grow up?" Felix asked rhetorically.

Old Madam Longbottom said with a serious expression: "You have asked about my blind spot in knowledge. My experience tells me that every little wizard will go through this step. If not, it is worrying. But man-made magic riots... "She shook her head, seemingly incredulous.

Felix explained: "Ma'am, it may be that my physique is quite special. I have experienced more than one magic riot myself. Although this process is very uncomfortable, I have also benefited from it.

In fact, I realized its value early on, and also made possible guesses. It's just that this experience belongs to me alone, and there is no other supporting evidence. It wasn't until this summer that I finally came across a very rare example. "

Mrs. Longbottom pursed her lips, "If you can cure... No, I won't ask for more, but I need Dumbledore to be present, and I trust him."

The corners of Felix's lips curled up, "No problem, ma'am."

Old Mrs. Longbottom said to the particularly ugly dummy, "I'm here to see Frank Longbottom and Alice Longbottom." The dummy nodded slightly and waved at them.

The two then passed through the window glass and entered St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Sickness.

Felix found himself in a waiting room, and looked around with interest: a dozen wizards and witches sat in rickety wooden chairs, and two healers in green robes recorded their symptom.

In the front left is the information desk, a woman with blond hair is standing behind, patting the long queue in front of her. Behind the woman is the symbol of St. Mungo's, with crossed wands and bones.

The surrounding walls are covered with portraits of therapists and some taglines.

At this moment, a middle-aged wizard showed his right hand to the therapist, biting a black kettle firmly on it, with dark green blood oozing from the wound, he shouted angrily——

"Can't you see - curse, I'm cursed - birthday present sent to me anonymously - don't let me know who it is! Whoops - this stupid jug -" he kept shaking his arms .

"Don't move, you're shaking so much that I can't see clearly." The young therapist holding a clipboard looked at it carefully for a moment, "You're going to the fifth floor's spell injury department."

Felix read the sign: Artifact Accident Division - First Floor (crucible explosion, wand fire, broom collision, etc.);

Biological Injury Department——Second Floor (Stings, Burns, Stings, etc.);

Department of Strange Bacteria Infection——Third Floor (infectious diseases such as dragon pox, vanishing syndrome, lymphatic fungal inflammation);

Pharmaceutical and Plant Poisoning Section—Fourth Floor (Rash, Nausea, Laughing, etc.);

Spell Injury Section——Fifth Floor (Spells that cannot be removed, wrong spells, etc.);

Tea Room and Shop - Sixth Floor.

"We're going to the fifth floor," Mrs. Longbottom told him, and they went up a crooked staircase to the fifth-floor landing, past some double-doored wards, until they came upon a long The room - the doors here are locked.

A therapist with a gold and silver garland on his head came out of the closed ward and greeted with a smile: "Mrs. Longbottom, are you here to visit your family? I'll take you in."

"Thank you, Meliam."

The therapist Meliam recited "Alahoo Cave" and led them into the room, past several beds, and walked to the innermost part—there were two beds enclosed by floral curtains.

She opened the curtain and said happily: "Frank, Alice, your mother is here to see you again."

Felix saw the Longbottoms for the first time~IndoMTL.com~ Both of them were wearing pajamas, their faces were thin and haggard, half of their hair was gray, and Neville's father was sitting on the head of the bed blankly, as if they could Sitting for a long time, her eyes rolled from time to time; Neville's mother's reaction was more obvious, holding a bag of snacks in her hand, reading carefully.

The two didn't respond to the therapist's words.

"She was actually just looking at the patterns on it," said the therapist. "Most of the memories have disappeared, you should understand."

"Meliam..." Mrs. Longbottom said, "Can you give us some time?"

"No problem." She closed the curtain and left.

Old Mrs. Longbottom walked to the hospital bed, took Neville's mother's hand, and stroked the dry hair on her head, "This is also one of the aftereffects of the Cruciatus Curse. It ages faster than ordinary people. I don't know Worried, they will walk ahead of me..."

"If you don't mind, ma'am?" Felix asked softly.

"What, oh, of course, what do I need to do?" the old lady Longbottom asked nervously.

"I don't need anything..." Felix snapped his fingers lightly, and the world suddenly spun. Everything in the room was distorted, and the colors and shapes were entangled, like some kind of abstract painting.

Felix stood at the edge of the room, looking at this extremely weird scene, the misty fluorescent light flashed sporadic images from time to time, there were men and women——

A baby with a small round face, old Mrs. Longbottom, with some vicious faces, Dumbledore, an ugly man with fake eyes, Lupine, a man who looks a lot like a grown-up Potter... ...

A woman with a round, friendly face appeared the most. She looked very young, and her eyes were very gentle. Even though her appearance had changed, Felix still recognized her at a glance——Alice Longbottom, sitting on the bed next to him.
