Chapter 14 On the Importance of Not Swearing Arbitrarily

St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Illnesses is located in London, and the reason Lady Longbottom is so sure is that she knows Neville is there to visit his parents.

If there's any area of the British wizarding world that is as permanently neutral as Switzerland, St. Mungo's Hospital is one of them, and even the most murderous Death Eaters should be in awe of it.

After all, for the two warring sides, no one can guarantee that their own members, even themselves, will not need treatment from St. Mungo's Hospital at all.

The following is an adaptation of a real event that once appeared -

I, the most loyal and brave Death Eater under the command of the great Dark Lord, will not be treated by St. Mungo's Hospital even if I am poisoned by potions, bleeding from all holes, even if I am hit by a curse and my whole body is festering, even if I die!

And then......

Doctor, help me, I don't want to die yet!

People say that the Death Eaters are a group of people who are not afraid of life and death, which is a bit too absolute, and it is accurate to say that they don't care about the lives of others, but they don't care about their own lives......

Huh.

The people of the Order of the Phoenix seem to be the opposite, they don't care about their own lives, they don't care about the lives of the Death Eaters, but they seem to value the innocent more than themselves.

St Mungo's signature is crossed bones and wands, and from the outside, the hospital looks like an old-fashioned red-brick department store called Taotao Limited. Internally, it has all the facilities you should expect from a hospital.

If you need to enter St. Mungo's Hospital, you need to explain your intention to the dummy in the window of the department store. After that, it's like entering the Nine and Three-Quarters station at King's Cross Station, and you will reach the hospital waiting room through the glass.

The reason the hospital was located in its current location was that there was no better place to do it - there wasn't enough land in Diagon Alley, and it was unhygienic to build it underground like the Ministry of Magic. Eventually, the ordinary Muggle building was purchased on the grounds that the sick could mix in and out of the crowd.

Its founder, Mungo Boham, patron saint of Glasgow and the first bishop of Scotland......

Far from it.

Neville had walked the road to St. Mungo's Hospital many times, most of the time with his family, and on the rare occasions he had come alone.

Yes, even an obedient kid like Neville has actually done things that are not so obedient.

Just like this time.

And Mrs. Longbottom also knows that she sees through but does not break it, and people like her who have experienced the world know very well that not everything can be measured by right and wrong, let alone by their own views of right and wrong, good and evil.

On the fifth floor, the Spell Damage Section is responsible for treating poison spells, evil spells, and misused spells that can't be removed

Walking to the fifth floor in a daze, Neville seemed to come back to his senses.

After thinking for a moment, he did not immediately go to his parents' hospital room, but went up another floor, where there was a tea room and a shop, where visitors could rest or buy gifts for patients.

Picking up some fresh fruit and some of his mother's favorite sweets, Neville realized that there wasn't much money in the dress he was wearing when he went out.

It's embarrassing.

"Is that enough?"

A small, white hand handed over some change, and the salesman glanced at Neville, then at Luna beside Neville, shrugged her shoulders and accepted the money.

"Thank you. ”

Neville didn't seem surprised by Luna's presence at all, thanked her, and led Luna back to the fifth floor to his parents' hospital room.

"My parents' situation ......," Neville explained to Luna in a low voice, "they're more afraid of strangers, so you wait here for a while, I'll communicate with them before I call you in." ”

"No problem. ”

Luna didn't hesitate to respond, she took out a magazine from her satchel, "Singing Contradiction", which her father printed and published by hand, it should be the latest issue, and finally sat down on the chair in the aisle.

"Don't worry about me. "To be honest, I'm not here to see your parents, and I don't like hospitals," she said. ”

This is very straightforward and a bit rude, if you change someone, I am afraid that I will feel a little uncomfortable, but Neville is an exception.

"Thank you. ”

He thanked him again, as he had read Luna's subtext and understood her perfectly.

Neville reached out and pressed his hand on the door, about to push it in, but Luna suddenly grabbed him, and although the strength of the twelve-year-old girl was insignificant compared to Neville's, it made Neville stop.

"What's wrong?" he asked, a little confused.

"If I were you, I wouldn't go in like this. ”

Luna took out a small mirror and pointed it at Neville, reflecting a big boy in disheveled clothes, red eyes, full of thoughts at a glance, with a stiff facial expression, a face full of grievances and sadness, and seemed to cry at any moment.

"If I were your parents, I wouldn't want to see you like this. She said with a pun.

"Uh......"

Neville was stunned for a moment, subconsciously touched his face with his hand, and then looked at the mirror in Luna's hand, looking a little flustered.

"Wait a minute. ”

He placed the gift on the floor, identified the direction and hurried to the bathroom, and after about a minute, Neville ran back again.

This time, he looked much better, the negative emotions on his original face, and the negative energy emitted by the whole person were all swept away, and it was not an exaggeration to say that he was refreshed and radiant. Luna looked surprised, because she didn't know how Neville did it, and thought that Neville would only be able to tidy up his appearance at best.

"How did you do that?" she asked.

"What?"

Neville looked at Luna blankly, the standard "Neville-esque" expression was unpretentious, and even made Luna suspect that what she had seen earlier was illusions and illusions.

If Neville had always been like this, then why did she come here?

After much questioning by Luna, Neville finally explained what he had just done - washing his face, tidying up his appearance, and then spending more than ten seconds recalling the happy things, and then running back, and finished.

“……”

Luna really has nothing to say, now that I think about it, Mrs. Longbottom is really powerful, and sure enough, for Neville's almost single-brain cell existence, if he worries about everything, I am afraid that he will live a good life without heart and lungs, and he will go to St. Mungo's Hospital to receive psychiatric treatment.

It's like it is now.

Just recalling some happy things can complete psychological and physical changes from the inside out......

Is it really because of poor memory that I forgot all the previous things?

Holding back a bunch of words to complain about, and holding back a wave of unexplained annoyance, Luna picked up something from the ground and stuffed it into Neville's hand, then pushed the door open with one hand, pressed the other hand on Neville's back, pushed him in, and closed the door.

"Squeak. ”

The closed door opened again, Neville stuck out his head, with a simple smile, and said to Luna: "This method was taught to me by Lyle, it really works, if you are unhappy, you can also try to remember those happy and happy things, in fact, I have always felt that you ......"

The corners of Luna's mouth twitched, thinking in her heart, "Next time I'll take care of you, I'll have your last name", and then said angrily: "Then thank you so much!"

"You're welcome. Neville replied.
