Harry Potter’s Book of Sin Chapter 420: Petrochemical and Poisoning
"...Mr. McLean?"
When someone called herself, Maca immediately turned her head and nodded slightly at the other party. With a wave of his hand, the white cloth that had been floating before covered Sokas's body again.
"Ms. Pomfrey, thank you for your hard work..." He said softly, "Are there many injured?"
"Not many. When the incident happened, most of the students were in various classrooms, and the students who took the class of protecting magical creatures came back in time—" the head nurse of the school hospital, Madam Pomfrey, shook her head gently. "The injuries of the two students are a little troublesome."
"Who?" Maca asked hurriedly, "Is it petrified? If the mandela grass resurrection potion is out of stock, I have..."
"No, no need..." Madam Pomfrey said softly, "After replenishing the reserves before, it has not been used much, and there are enough potions available."
If you say which faculty and staff in Hogwarts is the most respected by Maca, it is undoubtedly Mrs. Poppy Pomfrey in front of you.
Mrs. Pomfrey has been a therapist in Hogwarts for a long time. When Snape and others were students, she was already a doctor here.
Her rich healing experience and proficiency in various healing spells, potions, mixed herbs, etc. are enough to enable her to find a high-paying job in St. Mungo.
But she stayed at Hogwarts for decades, treating every patient who was sent to her with both sternness and gentleness. Even if most of them were just trivial injuries, she never complained about being bored.
By the way, the potions in Mrs. Pomfrey's place are generally weird. Some of them are obviously sweet and delicious, and they will become "bitter medicines" that are hard to swallow.
I remember Mrs. Pomfrey once said this:
"If you don't want to drink these weirdly flavored medicines, please don't get hurt and don't leave yourself a chance to come to the medical room. Otherwise, please be at your own risk!"
Of course, I heard that she would be a little bit tricky to the curse-damaged illness, and I don't know if it is true.
"It would be best if there is one," Maca nodded, "Then, I'll go see the injured student."
"Um..." Madam Pomfrey became a little serious when he heard that he was about to enter the ward, "Of course, I have heard of Mr. McLean's achievements in potions. If it were you If you do, it’s okay, but please be careful not to stay too long... the patient needs to take a good rest!"
"Yes, I understand. I was taken care of by you at the beginning. As a former patient, I am also grateful for your philosophy of protecting patients as the first principle."
Maca leaned slightly politely, and then followed Madam Pomfrey into the ward.
When Maca walked in, the fire was swaying in the fireplace, and the warmth of the flame dissipated the cold outside, baking the whole room as if it were still in spring.
The beds on both sides are separated by white curtains one by one, but there are very few patients at the moment, so most of the curtains are opened, and only two beds are still covered to ensure that even if the patients wake up, they will not be affected. Feeling anxious about the empty ward.
Maca has been to this school hospital ward several times. The longest stay here was probably during the period when Luna was hospitalized and recovered.
And here, he also encountered a very important life turning point.
After that, one is that he basically has no need to come here anymore, and the other is that he actually has some inexplicable resistance to this place in his heart.
In this way, it seems that some time has passed since I visited the school hospital last time. Now that he came back here again, he subconsciously glanced at the window for the first time.
It was there, he had seen something that he shouldn't have seen, so that after that, even the path he was supposed to go on was greatly deflected.
Waving away the memories in his mind a little, Maca stepped forward to the foot of a hospital bed where a person was lying, and then his gaze fell on the patient on the bed.
That was Ron, and his body still had a layer of gray at this time, but as far as petrification was concerned, he was clearly recovering. After he changed back to his original appearance, he should be able to jump around again after taking a rest.
After Maca stood by and checked for him, he turned and walked to another hospital bed.
"Huh?"
The other student was lying opposite Ron, and Maca couldn't help but sigh as soon as he saw it. Because in his opinion, this patient's condition is probably much more serious than Ron.
"I remember she was—" Maca recalled a little, and said in his heart, "...Well, is it called ‘Helen Schon’?"
"It was bitten by an eight-eyed giant spider. When I found her, the trauma on her body had begun to heal. She should have done some emergency treatment on her own." Madam Pomfrey said softly. "But that's just a skin injury. After all, the point is toxins."
She paused, seeming to be pitying this lovely girl.
"...To be honest, it was some kind of very dangerous toxin. After discussing with Professor Snape, I used a mixture of dung stone to temporarily suppress the spread of the toxicity. Now Professor Snape should be thinking of a way. Prepare targeted detoxification agents for this toxin."
"...Really?" Maca nodded subconsciously, but his thoughts remained stuck in consideration of Helen.
His last blow in the spider's lair really hit the guy posing as Sokas. What's more, he used the gift that Snape had given him at the time-Shenfeng Shadowless Curse.
It stands to reason that the effect of this curse created by Snape is quite extreme. It is not only fast, highly concealed, and can cut through the flesh and bones of the enemy mercilessly like a sharp sword.
The most important thing is that the injuries caused by this spell cannot be easily healed by other means except the corresponding counter-curse.
Of course, this is not absolute.
If a person who has been hit by this curse can cut off the flesh and blood from the wound, he will be able to get rid of the alien magic attached to it. If the non-injury is too critical, you can still recover without knowing the counter-curse.
For this reason, Maca is suspicious. An injury is an injury, and the only one who was sent to this ward except Ron was this Miss Helen Schoen.
But he was just skeptical, after all, the fake Sokas might have already escaped Hogwarts.
If Helen is the one who ran away, and she was able to use the toxin of the alienated eight-eyed giant spider to hide herself in the situation of plucking out the wound and regenerating the flesh and blood...
"If that's the case..."
It's nothing to be cruel to the enemy, if you can be so cruel to yourself, then you are the real dangerous person. And this danger has nothing to do with its own strength.
Hazards that happen inadvertently are the hardest to prevent.
"...Should I act first?" Maca thought secretly.
"Mr. McLean?" Seeing Maca staring at the girl in a daze, Madam Pomfrey couldn't help but remind her.
"Huh?" Maca turned his head, and immediately saw Madam Pomfrey looking at him with a dissatisfaction, and then he understood, "Ah...I'm just thinking, will I go there soon? Visit Professor Snape."
"If you want." Madam Pomfrey nodded. "It is a good thing for the patient to have an additional pharmacist for reference... But I think we must leave."
"Oh, of course." Maca immediately agreed, "The patient has to rest well, yes!"
Maca naturally knows the poison of the alienated eight-eyed giant spider better than anyone else. He had already conducted a series of tests and records for Aragog as early as when he was transforming his bloodline.
This powerful toxin, which is a mixture of the characteristics of the Basilisk and the Eight-eyed Giant Spider, may not be much stronger than either of them, but in terms of novelty and complexity ~IndoMTL.com~ is quite reliable. of.
He believed that even Snape, a potion master, could not dispense the corresponding antidote in a short period of time.
Just based on the response from Snape and Madam Pomfrey's experience, temporarily suppressing the spread of toxins is a certainty. The harvest that is handled properly will delay the onset of toxins by a few days.
So, instead of going to Snape's potion preparation room as he said, Maca went back to his own office first.
There are still many things waiting for him to deal with. Not only this incident at Hogwarts, there are also some tails that need to be swept away from the American magical world. For example, Sirius Black who is still recovering from bed, or the children he placed in the shed in Jackson Square.
In addition to this, he also felt that it was time to strengthen the defensive force for Hogwarts.
"...At that time, the happiest person is probably Hermione?" Maca, who had just walked to the office door, shook her head with a smile, and then opened the door lock and walked in, "Huh-a little bit Sleep for a while, I haven't closed my eyes properly in these two days, and I can't stay on the medicine forever."
After closing the office door again, he lit the fireplace and boiled himself hot cocoa.
While waiting for him to cook, he still did not let go of this little free time. Instead, he sat in front of the fireplace while he was cooking on the fire while he started writing and drawing in his notebook.
Since entering this magnificent and bumpy magical world, Maca has found that she hasn't been very leisurely. But for him, this busyness is extremely fulfilling.
Because he can clearly feel that he is "alive" literally.
