Chapter 771: What Curse?
When all the wizards who had come to visit had left, the quiet room made Katie feel even more lonely than before they arrived. She turned on the TV boredly, and the footage of the Gryffindor and Slytherin Quidditch match was being replayed on the TV station that was not on the show late at night.
See Draco?? Malfoy and the others were excited by the Slytherins, while the Gryffindor on the side was depressed, Katie's guilt became stronger and stronger, she had to stay in St. Mungo for nearly three months, during this period, the temporary Gryffindor Quidditch team may still lose, and losing one or two games is actually a trivial matter, but the final Quidditch Cup is judged by the cumulative total points scored by a team in this semester - So even if Harry catches the Golden Snitch as soon as possible in the next game, if he only scores 150 points per game, Gryffindor's final result may be better than Hufflepuff, far behind Ravenclaw and Slytherin.
The more Katie thought about it, the more irritated she became, if only she hadn't gone to Hogsmeade in the first place, she wouldn't have led to so many things behind, but then the onset of the curse made Katie twitch a few times and then closed her eyes and looked up, her heart full of helplessness.
Katie, who was half-asleep in the middle of the night, swayed from side to side on the bed as if she was being pulled by something intangible, as if something was constantly pulling her around. Katie's eyes widened, her mouth wide open, and she let out a silent scream of terror, as if she was suffering some terrible pain.
Katie clearly felt the pain that bordered on suffocation again, the tearing sensation from the depths of her soul that made her want to die immediately. She was in desperate pain, and although she didn't understand why it was happening in such a severe way again, she knew that there was no way for her to call for help, and unlike Muggle hospitals that needed infusions, therapists were not used to frequent rounds in the middle of the night.
Just as Katie found herself in darkness, a faint female voice sounded in her heart, calling softly to her, "Child, come here." The voice sounded like a clear spring, the kind of cold voice that belongs to intelligent women, and with a peaceful and peaceful power, it successfully calmed Katie's irritable despair.
This made Katie yearn to hear more voices, she desperately wanted to hear the sound of heaven enough to soothe the pain, and just as her soul was screaming this longing, she felt light, Katie straightened up, looking around suspiciously, at this moment the cursed sickness was far away from her, she could move freely, but she didn't know where she was. She seemed to be in a world full of darkness and chaos, and there was a little light in the distance, and she only felt that she was fluttering, following the light source.
The closer you get, the brighter the light source and the more space it occupies. It wasn't until in front of Katie that a large cloud of intense, cocoon-like blue light appeared in front of her eyes, that she stopped. Katie tried to keep her eyes open, the light gradually faded, the outline gradually became clear, and the light spread layer by layer, like a wave of light, completely breaking through the previous darkness from Katie's side.
But after the darkness was banished, Katie was swallowed up by an even greater fear, her head felt dizzy, her mouth opened in surprise even wider than she had with the previous curse, and the intense feeling of suffocation made her helpless as she tried to breathe only to feel her blood begin to freeze in her veins.
Colorful light flickered, and a dragon with five dragon heads and a two-legged wyvern-like tail like a traditional fire dragon appeared in front of her.
The feeling of powerlessness caused by not being able to control herself was completely different from the tugging sensation of the curse, and Katie found herself being carried into the air by an invisible force that pulled her higher and higher, and then a sense of weightlessness came over the dragon, each head of which had a different color, and the huge torso changed many colors and scattered beautiful stripes of these colors—so many, so dizzying, so confusing.
Getting closer to the red dragon head in the middle, she could even see her terrified expression in its lava-like eyes. Katie's human senses made it impossible for her to accept such a strong stimulus, to recognize so many colors, and to appreciate the incomparably noble colors of the void.
Katie, who was forced to close her eyes, felt that she had regained some control of her body and wanted to escape, but the feeling of fluttering just now was completely gone, and then a feeling of weightlessness came, a cold touch came from underneath, she opened her eyes, her legs seemed to be filled with lead, and she couldn't move another step and sat directly on the ground.
The five dragons had vanished, and they began to shrink and deform, reunite, change form, and return to their previous state of pure blue light, and a noble, holy, tall woman slowly floated towards her—and it was only later that Katie realized that neither she nor the other person had moved, to be precise, but the distance between them had suddenly become shorter.
Katie couldn't believe it, looking at the other party's three-dimensional facial features like a knife and axe, her closed lips and half-narrowed eyes made her not only look beautiful and not like a mortal, but also a little more stern.
"Goddess?... Are you a goddess?" said Katie, who had lost her body, unconsciously as she focused on the other party's face.
"It's called Urravenclaw. The woman's mouth didn't open and close, and the voice that had been guiding Katie in the darkness sounded from the bottom of her heart again.
A spirit, Katie, who felt that she could breathe again, panted greedily, and only then could she spy on the whole picture of the other party, from the familiar beautiful and serious face of the other party, wearing a crown, and emitting blue light all over her body, she saw Rowener, one of the four founders of Hogwarts?? Ravenclaw!
"Rowena?? Ravenclaw ...... "Katie involuntarily came up with the name of Ravenclaw, Ravenclaw's hair was windless, and her whole body was shrouded in blue light.
Katie couldn't help but touch her body, could she be dead, how could she see a Ravenclaw who had been dead for nearly a thousand years? If it was to lead her to the other side, shouldn't it be Gryffindor?
"Ms. Ravenclaw... But why am I here? I mean why can I see you?" Katie was a little overwhelmed, thinking about the hidden meaning of the other party's name when she answered the name just now, and she couldn't help but ask in this worried voice, "Lady Ravenclaw... Are you a god? ”
"Everyone dies, Katie?? Bell, but you're not here today. Ravenclaw's voice echoed in the space, "This is not the place for you mortals, but first answer a little question for me - five brothers, living together, with different names and uneven heights, what is this?"
"Uh... Fingers?"Katie?? Bell was stunned for a moment, and then took the opportunity to answer the riddle of this low-difficulty riddle that can only be used to amuse children.
"Extraordinary wisdom is the greatest treasure of mankind. ”
Katie watched steadily as Ravenclaw's five slender fingers glowing blue touched her forehead, and a cold sensation instantly entered from the top of her head.
In an instant, Katie felt her body take off quickly backwards, being pulled to another dimension, rolling and spinning uncontrollably in the air, and she seemed to be thrown out of the earth in an instant, into the universe, in the dark and dreary universe, countless stars were spinning, the earth was slowly rotating under her, and she even found herself seeing the back of her head.
Then, Katie was separated into countless versions of herself, completely unable to distinguish between reality and illusion, and countless colored spheres burst out in front of her like fireworks, bright as fireworks. Layers upon layers of unknown substances bloomed like flowers, and Katie fell into the middle stamen, falling down the stalk to the ground, and countless dirt was brewing, spinning, stretching, and in an instant countless hands reached out from the dark dirt and pulled her in.
Katie's whole body trembled violently, and the strong feeling of falling into the air made her sit up suddenly, she felt the rhythmic involuntary contraction of her skeletal muscles, her hair stood on end, the skin on her head and neck was particularly itchy, and goosebumps all over her body, while she herself was immersed in a unique, pleasant stimulation in her mind.
There was silence all around, and it wasn't until those feelings subsided that Katie realized she was back in her bed at St. Mungo's Hospital for Magic and Magic. Katie turned her head to look at the table beside her, the pain she had experienced before was definitely not a dream - in the moonlight, Rowena?? A wooden statue of Ravenclaw stands on a bedside table in front of the window.
Katie reached out and held the wooden statue of Ravenclaw in her hand, and the moonlight seemed to have footsteps, and it moved gently and quietly with the statue, and the divine aura erupted in this hospital.
Katie looked at the moonlit wood sculpture in front of her, regretting that she had gnawed at her heart, she had forgotten to ask Ravenclaw to lift the curse, this rare opportunity was wasted by her stupid self, Katie was so anxious that tears fell from the corners of her eyes, she knelt on the ground, and suddenly pleaded unwillingly to the statue: "Lady Ravenclaw, Lady Ravenclaw......"
The Ravenclaw statue emitted a faint blue light from her hand, and the haunting feeling she had experienced before reappeared, and Katie felt that all the pain, remorse, and irritability in her heart were replaced by this stimulation, and the indescribable shiver burst from the depths of Katie's soul, and quickly spread throughout her body, and her body involuntarily trembled slightly.
Knowing that the other party was responding to herself, Katie was overjoyed, straightened up and knelt on the ground and pleaded, "Wise Ravenclaw, please lift the curse on me, please help me~"
Katie clenched her hands into fists and made a gesture of prayer: "I am a student of Hogwarts, because I was cursed to need to go to St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Injuries and I could not participate in Quidditch matches, Gryffindor's Quidditch strength was weakened, and we lost our first game...... However, I don't think I'm entirely to blame for all this, everything that happens is beyond my control...... I was sad that I lost the game, and I almost hurt the current Headmaster of Hogwarts, Dumbledore, which was not what I wanted...... Ravenclaw, please lift the curse on me. ”
The more Katie spoke, the more excited she became, and she even choked up, tears welling up, and begged the other party to lift her curse.
"What curse?" Ravenclaw's somewhat muffled voice came, this time in a tone that sounded much lighter than the seriousness of the previous one.
Katie was stunned by the other party's rhetorical question, she suddenly realized that she had not been hindered by those movements just now, and the pain of being confined and torn apart had been swept away, and Katie touched and patted it happily, feeling the beauty of this health.
Thinking of the hand that Ravenclaw had placed on her forehead before, and the wonderful encounters she had experienced afterwards, Katie suddenly realized that Ravenclaw had healed her curse by then.
