Like St. Mungo's, patients in need of long-term care live on the top floor of the hospital, and there is also a gate to isolate the ward to prevent those who run out in danger.

After drawing her wand and opening the door to the ward, Merim led them into the ward. The walls on both sides of the ward are beige, a color that she had suggested from several therapists, as she had previously said on the road, that they believed would help the patient's mind to be calmer.

At the innermost end of the hallway was the room belonging to the Longbottoms, and upon entering the door, Lane realized that this room was very different from the one in St. Mungo. It was a pure hospital room, with nothing but a bed and a bedside table. Now the ward looks more like a hotel, with tables and chairs in addition to the bed, and Christmas decorations hanging everywhere. It looks more suitable than a cold hospital room.

"It's a lot more here now than it used to be. "So we also have to provide a much better environment for our patients than we used to, like in the past, in St. Mungo, where there was not enough space to expand, so patients had to be as crowded as sardines in a net." ”

Because it was just noon, the Longbottoms, dressed in pajamas, were now sitting quietly on wooden chairs on either side of the coffee table and eating their own dessert: a small cake full of canned fruit. Wisps of green smoke rose from a small incense burner under the coffee table, filling the room with a faint, citrus-like aroma.

"We gave them the medicine you sent before, and now they are much better than they used to be. At least for a week they have not been as suddenly hysterical and yelling as they used to. I didn't wake up in the middle of the night and hide under the bed. Merim introduced. "Anyway, they're much quieter and better now. ”

After hearing the voice, the Longbottoms looked up together with the small cake in their hands, and then looked at Ryan and Hermione, who were now standing behind Merium's healer, with a curious look.

As they looked up, Hermione's grip on Ryan's hand increased for a moment. Because the two men in front of them looked very thin, so that their eyes appeared large, and other than that, the hair of the two men was gray, and they looked scattered and dry, like weeds in winter.

"Who are they?" Hermione had seen the previous photos of the Order of the Phoenix in Sirius, and she couldn't really connect the two people in front of her with the two round, happy faces in the photos at the time.

"Soul damage often affects **, especially dark magic like the Diamond Heart Charm. Ryan explained, "The after-effects of this kind of black magic have lasted for more than ten years, and they naturally don't get very well. ”

"It's much better than it used to be. Merriam explained to Ryan, "They used to be nervous and tired, but now they are much better. It's just that their bodies have become what they are now after being tortured by black magic for more than ten years, so for safety reasons, we can only use some very mild tonic potions to replenish those weak parts of their bodies. ”

"Of course, eat well and sleep well every day. I believe that they will only need more than a month or more than two months to make up for all the previous deficiencies in their bodies. Merium concluded.

"That's great news. Hermione had a smile on her face. "Alright, now let me check them out. ”

"What—is it—they—to do it—now?" said Mrs. Longbottom, tilting her head slightly as she looked at Ryan and them, and then asked like a child who had just learned to speak.

"Obedient. Merium said as gently as a child. "The two of them are the ones I found to relieve your discomfort, and the potions that make your head cool after drinking them and the spices that make you sleep well after burning them are all theirs. ”

"Oh, that's right. Mrs. Longbottom put her hands on her knees like a child, and her back was straight. When Mr. Longbottom, who was beside her, saw this, he quickly finished the cake, wiped his mouth with his sleeve, and then sat down in the chair as well.

"Okay, don't move. Hermione also roughly understood the current situation at this time, and she also stepped forward to soothe the two patients in a childlike tone, while slowly drawing her wand with some exaggerated movements. "Don't worry, it doesn't hurt at all. ”

After calming the two patients, Hermione first waved her wand and summoned a stool from under the cabinet to sit in front of the Longbottoms, and then she silently recited a spell to release a filament of blood-red smoke from the head of the wand, and then directed the blood-red filament to wrap around the bodies of the two men.

As Hermione, who majored in life cycle spells, has an advantage over Ryan in both diagnosis and treatment when facing soul damage. That's why the current inspection is entirely presided over by Hermione and not the higher-ranking Ryan.

"How's it going?" After watching the red threads disappear from the two patients, Ryan turned to Hermione, who was a little more relaxed than just now, and asked, "Is there a cure for them?"

"Yes, but—" Hermione hesitated for a moment, then lowered her voice. "They have been traumatized for so long that a lot of their memories have been permanently and completely lost, and even if we try our best to treat them, it will be difficult to fully recover to the way they used to be. ”

"Can you recover some of your memories?" Ryan's eyes widened in surprise. This was already much stronger than he expected, he thought that it would be good to be able to recover his daily self-care ability with a serious injury like this, but he didn't expect to be able to do better. Out of curiosity, Ryan asked, "How much can I remember this part?"

"Between 30 and 60 percent. Hermione closed her eyes and thought for a moment before saying, "And there's no way to choose which part of the memory you recall, but in any case, it's better than completely forgetting everything like now." ”

"You're right. Ryan nodded slightly. "Self-awareness is indeed very important for a person, okay, then let's start the next step of treatment, which of the drugs you prepared before is more suitable to use now?"

"Neither of them fit. Hermione said. "But if you combine the duration of potion three and the strength of potion seven, and make them release as mild as potion two, then I think it's perfectly suitable. ”

"It doesn't sound that hard. Ryan looked at Merryum, "By the way, Miss Merrym, is there a place nearby where I can make potions?" I think I need to make a batch of potions that really work. ”

Soon, Merim found them an empty house that met the criteria. After only half an hour, the targeted potion concocted from the potions on hand was successfully created.

"Is this potion complicated?" asked Hermione, who had watched the process of making the potion and helped inject some of her soul energy, curiously. "I see that you actually summoned the Rose Mother just now, and used a very complex alchemy technique. ”

"Well, it's not that complicated. Ryan said as he held a large bottle of transparent ice-blue potion that exuded a serene aura. "The main thing is that the use of Our Lady of the Rosary will be faster, and it will be more convenient for me. When I usually use various magic props when making potions, I mainly have to consider the need for large-scale production in the future, so I must summarize a set of plans that are suitable for others to use. ”

"Now, it's mostly tailored to a specific person. Since I don't need to think about letting others learn it, I naturally do it in the most convenient way. Ryan finally summed up and explained, and then walked out the door with the medicine bottle. "Alright, give these pills to Lady Merium, and in my judgment, the Longbottoms should be able to get out of their current state by taking them for a month. ”
