Harry Potter’s Book of Sin Chapter 435: Cowardice and toughness
() Judging from the final results, Maca’s short second trip to New York was undoubtedly a success.
Not only did he transfer Sirius, Abigail, Olivia, and the group of rescued children to Hogwarts, he even transferred the missing appointment book in a very short time. Ya also brought back, it can be said to be luck and strength.
But one of them was imperfect, because it wasn't until noon the next day that Joshua woke up from a deep coma.
"...Zor...Zoe..."
Sunday’s sunshine is obviously warmer than Saturday. In this frosty winter, strands of golden light penetrated the window glass and fell on Joshua's pale face.
"Zoe!"
When he called out the name again, the endless nightmare awakened him suddenly, and he suddenly sat up on the bed.
Probably because of the long sleep, he was a little confused. After looking around blankly for a few times, he seemed to remember something and lifted the thick quilt vigorously.
"This is..." Joshua hurriedly slid off the bed, suddenly bent his feet and fell on the floor, "Where am I?"
He leaned on the bed board to prop up his body, and looked at the surroundings in a flustered manner.
This is a wide room with two rows of beds neatly arranged, and all the sheets and bedding are reassuringly white, and they look like new and spotless.
A series of transparent windows let in the sunlight quietly, and a bright block of bright blocks was reflected on the row of beds by the window.
Occasionally, one or two windows are luxuriant with branches and leaves, and the shadows of the trees are mottled, and they seem to have a little unique color.
Joshua discovered that most of the beds here were equipped with metal brackets with pulleys, and on both sides of the bed next to him, the brackets were stretched out and hung a beige shade with a pattern of fine petals. curtain.
Although the flames in the fireplace at one end of the room were still beating and swaying slightly, after all, it was still a bit cold in a single coat. Joshua tightened his clothes slightly.
He found that he seemed to be the only one here.
"...Yes, is anyone here?" Joshua yelled softly, but his voice was too small to be heard.
After hesitating for a while, Joshua hesitated and walked over to the bed covered by the curtain.
The sunlight outside the window also spilled in from behind the bed, and a slightly undulating outline was reflected on the curtain, in which there seemed to be a person lying.
"...Is anyone there?" He called again, but still didn't get any response.
However, when he reached Joshua who was in front of the curtain and was about to reach out and take a look at it, the door of the room was suddenly opened from the outside.
"Are you awake? How can you...get out of bed casually? Go back and lie down, but you haven't recovered yet! You need plenty of rest! Understand?" Madame Pomfrey, who rushed in, rebuked loudly. Tao.
Joshua was startled by a series of shouts. He retracted his hand almost reflexively, and then hurriedly walked back to the bed where he woke up before.
When you hear the order, you must unconditionally follow it. This has almost become his subconscious reaction. After he sat back on the bed, he remembered what he wanted to do the most.
"You...Who are you?" He curled up and asked, "Why am I here...that person...Mike...McLean?"
"Huh?" Madam Pomfrey stared at the clipboard in her hand, and said casually, "How do I know? He sent you here last night and then left. He should have gone back to his own office. ! As for me—I am the head nurse here, Poppy Pomfrey, and you are my patient."
"Ms. Pomfrey..." Joshua hesitated, then said, "Where is this?"
"Where?" Madam Pomfrey raised her head and looked at him, "Of course it is the ward! The hospital ward of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry."
"Hogg...wartz? School of Witchcraft?" Joshua repeated blankly.
"I don't know Hogwarts?" Madam Pomfrey glanced at him hesitantly, frowned, "Where did McLean get you here? Listen to your accent, Like an American?"
"This..." Joshua was surprised, "Isn't this America?"
"Oh-this is certainly not America." Madam Pomfrey waved at him, "Lie down, I want to check your physical condition--"
"No, I have to... there is an important thing, Zuo—"
"Lie down!" Madam Pomfrey looked at him with an unquestionable expression, and said solemnly, "You are my patient now, and the most important thing for you is to recover well! Others, wait for you to get better. Say it again!"
Joshua has never really fought against others several times in his life.
The first time, when I was a child, I couldn't stand the abuse of my father and escaped from the house; and the second time, the power of the silent man was suddenly mobilized last night to try to take Zoe away from the manor.
In fact, the two times before and after can basically be regarded as failures.
At the moment, he doesn't dare to try a third time-it's terrible!
Under Madam Pomfrey's scolding, Joshua closed his mouth honestly, and lay on the bed without daring to move even a little bit, just like a marionette at the mercy of the other party.
Ms. Pomfrey, after checking him and quickly making notes, turned around and walked quickly in the direction of the door.
"...You want to find Mr. McLean, don't you? I'll tell him for you." Before closing the door of the ward, Mrs. Pomfrey only looked back and left such a sentence and left in a hurry.
In the ward, Joshua obediently obeyed Madam Pomfrey's last order, lying motionless on the bed, staring at the ceiling in a daze.
……
At the same time, River Edge District, New Jersey, USA.
The wall smashed by Joshua has long been repaired, and the enchantment attached to it has been refilled, but Zoe was locked into the manor’s underground cellar by the old wizard Lenny.
The silent ones who were sent out to chase Joshua last night have also returned one after another.
Because these silent people were as timid as a mouse, not only did they fail to complete the task, they even killed several people under the attack of a thunderbird, the old wizard Lenny was very angry.
These silent people don't know, but Lenny does. Although Thunderbird is indeed extraordinary, operating at sea will greatly increase its strength. If a small number of silent people encounter it, it will definitely be difficult to resist.
But, he sent out more than eight or nine people last night!
For this reason, Maca calls his research "boring research."
The natural silent person is of course uncontrollable. Only when the suppressed emotions cannot be vented, and the magic in his body is brewing and deteriorating, it will be transformed into that inexplicable dark form and burst out.
Only then can the silent one exert its true power.
But once the silent person itself becomes controllable, the silent person cannot be called the silent person.
Most silent people are children with fragile hearts and cowardly. It is a wrong decision to keep their will reluctantly.
As for the so-called "silent ones" cultivated by the old wizard Lenny, not only were they compromised in strength, they were also quite lacking in the will to fight. In terms of destructive power alone, they may be stronger than ordinary wizards, but if they want to actually participate in the struggle between wizards, they will only be a mob with some powerlessness.
The angry Lenny punished these "men" one by one severely, and only then did he go to the underground wine cellar of the manor.
In the wine cellar, most of the oak barrels that were originally stored have been cleared out. Now, in addition to the rich aroma of the wine, there is only Zoe whose hands are hung on the chain on the top of the cellar.
Hanging there for a long time, her wrist has been scratched, and in order to reduce the pain, Zoe, who is always on tiptoes, is almost exhausted.
The cold sweat on the forehead gently slid down the brow bone, dripped from the cheek to the tip of the chin, and then dripped slowly. Everything made her feel unhappy.
You know, she was a student not long ago! How could she have thought that she would be caught in such a place somehow, and endure such pain and suffering.
She was educated to be strong since she was a child, but she held back a tear without leaving a tear, even if she was already full of grievances.
"Huh," the old wizard Lenny, who has not yet succumbed to the punishment just now, looked at Zoe coldly and said, "Remember what I should say?"
"I..." Zoe said weakly, "I have said it, I don't know... don't you understand?"
"Really?" Lenny nodded, and suddenly stretched out his wand to aim at her, "heart-cutting!"
A miserable scream reverberated in this small wine cellar. The voice trembled because of the weakness of physical strength, but the pain was not reduced. IndoMTL.com~ Time passed by seconds. , Every second, she will suffer unspeakable pain.
This kind of torture is no longer something Zoe can bear at this time. She can even feel her consciousness gradually becoming confused.
The Heart Drilling Curse will not cause people to faint during the casting process. This confusion in consciousness is a precursor to the victim's imminent mental breakdown.
In the beginning, Neville's parents, under this unbearable situation, became a couple who could only live in the special ward of St. Mungo forever.
"Huh?"
The old wizard suddenly realized something was wrong, so he quickly cancelled the enchantment and checked Zoe carefully.
"Tsk, damn..." He smacked his tongue in annoyance, and then quickly opened Zoe's eyelids, "...Despite the mind!"
Just as the last syllable of the spell fell, Lenny suddenly shook his whole body.
