Chapter 46: Trivia at the end of the semester
After everyone had laid down, Madam Pomfrey walked over to Ryan's bedside to examine him, as Ryan looked the most badly injured.
After casting a spell on Ryan, Madam Pomfrey let out an angry voice: "I don't know why the headmaster put so many dangerous things in the school, and as a result, some students were injured, such as you Ryan, two ribs on the right side were broken, two bones were cracked, plus a contusion to the lungs, this is not a small injury." ”
"But you'll cure me, won't you?" said Ryan to Madam Pomfrey.
"Of course, you're suffering from trauma. It can be cured in one night. It's just that you may need to spend the night here. With that, she cast a spell to immobilize Ryan's ribs, then threw out a hospital gown. "But seriously, for your age, your first aid is pretty good and you avoid more serious injuries. May I ask where you learned this?"
"You see I'm a Celestial Empire, my grandfather used to sell medicinal food in London's Chinatown, and he also knew some Chinese medicine. That's how I learned from him. ”
"Ah, I know. When I was in St. Munger, I heard from some healers that many of the Muggle healing traditions in the Far East were taught to them by local wizards. It's a good place to be, and for thousands of years, wizards have lived in harmony with ordinary people. As she spoke, Madam Pomfrey brought a large bottle marked with a living bone.
She poured a glass out of it and handed it to Ryan, who took it and drank it down, feeling like a flame burning from his mouth to his stomach, accompanied by some strange taste that could not be explained. It feels similar to the enhanced version of Huoxiang Zhengqi Water.
Madam Pomfrey watched Ryan finish his medicine and said, "Actually, I can catch the bones in a second with magic, but that would require an overdraft of your body. If you drink medicine in your current state, it will be better for your body. Now you need to sleep in the school hospital for a night. ”
With that, Madam Pomfrey went to bandage Ron. Soon, Dumbledore used his wand to direct a stretcher to float over, on which Harry Potter lay on it.
"Professor, is Harry alright?" asked Ryan and the others as they all asked Professor Dumbledore. Professor Dumbledore told them not to worry, Harry had just been knocked out by some magic damage and that he would be able to rest in bed for a while.
After listening to this, Ryan said goodbye to Hermione, who was going back to the dormitory. He then chatted with Ron, who needed to be hospitalized for observation (Madam Pomfrey suspected that Ron might have the after-effects of a concussion, and insisted that he be hospitalized for one night). Then they said goodnight to each other, rolled over and fell asleep.
The next morning, Ryan visited Harry, who was still lying unconscious on the bed next to him, and left the hospital with Ron after praying for him inwardly.
The days that followed were boring, and it was worth mentioning that the final Quidditch match was held. Gryffindor suffered a heavy defeat against Ravenclaw because they didn't have a backup Seeker. But it didn't seem that everyone was too frustrated, after all, the players had done their best.
Every day at noon, the three of them would go to the school hospital to inquire about Harry's condition. On the third day after the adventure, the day before the year-end party, Ryan and the others went to the door of the school hospital to ask Madam Pomfrey. This time Harry finally woke up.
Madame Pompley gave them five minutes to talk. They came to Harry's bed and saw him half-lying on the bed with his head on his head.
"Harry, are you feeling better now? Ryan asked after stopping Hermione, who was excitedly trying to hug Harry.
"It's much better now, and I guess I'll be discharged in the afternoon. Harry replied with a smile.
"Oh, Harry, we all thought you were going to—Dumbledore was worried—" "The whole school was talking about it," Ron said, "what the hell was going on?"
Sometimes the truth of the story was more bizarre than the rumors, and Harry told them everything as it was: Quirrell, the Magic Mirror, the Philosopher's Stone, and Voldemort. Ryan listened attentively, gasping nervously at every thrilling spot, and Hermione screamed when Harry spoke of the face under Quirrell's turban.
"It looks like that person is back, and we still can't let our guard down. Ryan concluded. Several others nodded with feeling.
"So, the Philosopher's Stone is gone?" Finally Ron asked, "Lemay is dying?" That's what I said, but Dumbledore thinks—what did he say?' For those who are very clear-headed, death is but another great adventure'. ”
"I've said he's a little nervous. Ron said. He was shocked that his hero had become so unreasonable.
"No, I don't think that's the case, it's just that we're too young to understand. Ryan said. Then he turned to Hermione, "Remember the story of the young girl Malposa in Greek mythology?" ”
Hermione slapped her forehead, "Yes, legend has it that she gave up her eternal life because she thought she was mortal and needed human sorrow. I don't understand, but I do know that at least eternal life is not necessarily a thoroughly good thing. ”
Harry and Ron looked confused, and in order to hide the awkward situation, Ron quickly diverted the topic and began to talk about what they had done that day when Harry challenged the final level.
Finally, Ron said, "You say, did Dumbledore mean to ask you to do this, to give you your father's cloak of invisibility and guide you to do that?"
"Oops," Hermione couldn't help but say, "if he's like that—I mean—it's terrible—you're probably going to be killed." ”
Ryan objected: "I think Dumbledore may just be trying to guide and train Harry, but he didn't expect that person to sneak in this way. After all, the headmaster is just a powerful wizard, but he is not a god and cannot know everything. ”
"I think Ryan was right. Harry said, "I think Dumbledore knew what we were doing, and was constantly guiding us, teaching us a lot of things in secret. After all, he thought that I had grown up enough to face Voldemort's problems, and that I was no longer an ignorant child. ”
"So Dumbledore is the greatest wizard of the century. Ryan said, "But what you need most now is to recover quickly, because tomorrow is the year-end banquet." I've heard from the seniors that this is one of the best sumptuous banquets at Hogwarts, and you can't miss it. ”
Just then, Madam Pomfrey barged in.
"You've been here for almost fifteen minutes, get me out. She said firmly.
Ryan and the others had to say goodbye to Harry and leave the school hospital.
