Harry Potter’s Book of Sin Chapter 1400: Ron and the trust
"Okay, then we have only two things to do before Mr. McLean comes over."
After the patron saint of Neville's lion left, Mr. Derwent the therapist immediately continued:
"First, as far as possible to study the essence of the plague curse according to the patient’s symptoms, this will be temporarily handed over to me; and the second thing is to figure out the source of the curse magic, about this... Mr. Longbottom, do you have any clues over there?"
"Well," Neville thought for a while, and then said, "Perhaps you have already noticed that we have been attacked by unknown dark wizards a few times before. That's why we were a little nervous and kept keeping On alert... and Tucker, he started to be like this only after he was injured in the attack..."
Derwent nodded when he heard this.
"How did he get hurt?"
"Uh, the abdomen was cut by a cutting curse. To be honest, the scene at that time was scary, but you know, it wasn't actually a very tricky injury."
Navi is already very good at herbal medicine. Although he is not very talented in potions, he can't be overwhelmed by ordinary injuries. To be honest, if you leave out his sudden accomplishment of the patron saint curse, he may not be able to become a healer after graduation.
In fact, after the attack on the church side, many injured Aurors were treated by him!
"Well, is it just a cutting spell? Are you sure?"
"This..." Neville hesitated, but finally shook his head, "No, strictly speaking, I'm not sure."
"This can be difficult!"
After hearing this, Derwent couldn't help but stared at the wounded man’s affected area again and fell into contemplation.
When Tonks and others saw this, they also knew that staying here would not make much difference, so they couldn't help but turn to:
"Neville, what about the dark wizard attackers at that time? Didn't you catch one or two?"
"No, it can't be done," Neville shook his head. "Those black wizards are very powerful. Although I relied on the patron saint's convenience, I barely suppressed a part of the enemy, but three times before and after the confrontation, I did not talk about it. There is no advantage."
Before speaking, an Auror sitting in the prayer chair behind couldn't help but speak:
"Longbottom, you are good enough, we are the one who is holding you back."
"Orton, you can't say that," Neville said quickly, "If it weren't for you, the Muggle Queen would have been killed by them a long time ago, how could it last until the moment the Queen was sent away safely?"
He was talking, but Ron on the side changed his face and suddenly interrupted:
"Wait, you said that the Muggle Queen...she is not already infected with this plague curse, right?"
Ron’s words suddenly surprised almost everyone, including Derwent who was still thinking about it! Since this stuff is contagious, what about the Muggle Queen?
"Mr. Derwent, I think I need to ask you a question," Tonks immediately turned his head, "If there are no symptoms on the surface, which is during the incubation period, will this curse it be contagious? ?"
"No, although there is no way to be sure, but I don’t think it can," Derwent said without hesitation. "However, Mr. Longbottom, when the Muggle Queen left, Mr. Tucker had a wound in his abdomen. Has it started to fester?"
"This"
Obviously, this question from Derwent is really not easy to answer.
Because Tucker’s condition was a bit bad at the time, but he was not yet noticeable. In addition, the white fresh flavor made him recover from the cut on his abdomen very well, maybe even himself. Did not doubt anything.
The more important thing is...
"Sir, I remember that when Tucker said that he was uncomfortable in his abdomen, he still couldn't see anything on his stomach. So I thought, this decay probably started in the internal organs."
Derwent knew what Neville meant when he heard it. Indeed, if the fester started from the inside, it would be very difficult to accurately determine when it started.
Especially, in order to ensure that the injured would not continue to deteriorate to the point where they could not be dealt with, Neville used white fresh fragrance for the other party several times to hang his life.
But at this moment, Tonks waved his hand:
"I asked if the incubation period would be contagious. I didn't want to confirm whether the queen was actually infected. I was thinking, if I hurried to bring the queen back now...Is it too late?"
The most terrifying part of the plague is the spread of infection.
At this time, before treating her as a queen, it might be more correct to regard her as a hidden source of infection.
After all, if it spreads from her, the situation on the Muggle side will undoubtedly become very bad.
Others soon realized that her worries were not unreasonable, so Devon said immediately:
"It's too late, it should be too late...Although I am not sure how this plague curse will behave on Muggles due to physical differences. But as long as she hasn't attacked yet, it should be too late!"
"Jones, Neville, let's bring the queen back!" Tonks said categorically after listening to Derwent's judgment, "We are all alone, and we must not let the plague spread."
"Then...what about me?" Ron whispered beside him.
"Just stay here!" Tonks said without hesitation, "After we leave, this place may be very dangerous. The dark wizard who came to attack three times before may appear at any time. You are sent by Maca to help. I believe that your strength must be very strong...Help hold here and wait until Maca comes over!"
Ron couldn't help being stunned when Tonks seemed to have such a misunderstanding about himself.
Yes~IndoMTL.com~ There seems to be no weak person around Maca, and Tonks doesn't know much about Ron. Therefore, she took it for granted that since it was the person Maca plugged in, the strength should be very good.
Look at Neville! One person can be worthy of a whole team of Aurors, what an amazing patron saint curse!
"Oh, this"
Ron felt sorry, but this seemed to be the first time he was trusted so much. In this case, it seems to be a very difficult thing to confess to the other party that you are a "waste".
"Navi?"
He didn't say it directly, but he couldn't help but looked at Neville, but the other side gave him an encouraging look inexplicably.
Of course, Tonks certainly didn't know Ron's thoughts. The situation was urgent, because no one knew what happened to the Muggle Queen, so she decided to set off immediately.
"Well, then... Mr. Derwent, and Ron, I'll leave it to you!"
