Chapter 21: Neville Longbottom (Thanks to the helmsman "Grandpa Bridge's highest" tip)

According to Nick Lemay's instructions, William will stay in St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Injuries for two weeks.

He had to stay for so long, not because the injuries were already so severe, but because the hospital had to give him a thorough physical examination.

There are 37 major items and 900 small items in the inspection items alone.

Fortunately, Nick paid the entire fee, otherwise William's mood at this time was probably as confused as the international student who woke up after the car accident of the American imperialists and found that an ambulance had been called.

During this time, both the twin brothers and Cedric came to see him and were relieved to make sure he was okay.

Several people discussed the issue of the price of goods after the start of school before leaving.

When William was idle, he lived the life of a retired grandfather, reading newspapers, drinking potions, and teaching Hermione lessons all day...... Otherwise, you'll have to talk to the wizards in the hospital.

St. Mungo's Hospital has a wide variety of patients.

On the second floor, there are always rows of witches and wizards sitting in wobbly wooden chairs, looking completely normal, reading an expired issue of Wizard Weekly...... None of their brains are normal.

There are also a large number of loyal readers of "Singing and Singing".

William had wondered why the magazine was selling so well, and the emotional readers were all in the hospital.

If Cedric is here, he definitely has a common language with these people.

In addition to these interesting people, the old men in the hospital are also Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon...... Retired Auror, former chaser of the Quidditch national team, master alchemist...... You name any profession you can think of, it's all here.

Once, William played wizard chess with a bald old man, and played twenty games in a row, all of which failed miserably...... After the last inquiry, I found out that he was the champion of the three-time wizard chess competition.

So he began his career as a stealer.

William also saw a portrait of Duris Devonte in the hospital.

She is a St. Mungo's healer and Headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

William had spoken to her for a long time in the Headmaster's office, discussing many questions about potions.

However, she was always busy, wandering around the frames and sometimes speaking for Dumbledore.

William and Hermione also met a Neville boy at the hospital.

He, like Hermione, was a young wizard about to enter the school.

William was in his hospital room tutoring Hermione's Transfiguration when Neville knocked on the door.

Neville was looking for his toad, Lev, who, according to him, might have been caught and eaten by some madman in the hospital.

Finally, after searching for a long time, he found that the toad was hiding in his crotch.

Neville's parents are on the fifth floor, where the Spell Damage Department's hospital room is.

Neville, on the other hand, seemed to be a regular visitor, staying in the hospital for almost the entire month of August, spending time with his parents.

Later, after the three of them got acquainted, William and Hermione decided to visit them together with gifts.

Neville's father was lying on his bed with a sad face, staring at the ceiling, counting how many patterns there were.

Neville's mother, on the other hand, wore her hair disheveled, hiding her face underneath it, staring directly at everyone who came to visit her.

"Neville, look up, you should be proud to have such parents!"

Mrs. Longbottom, who had been here, said sternly.

Mrs. Longbottomon looked a terrible old witch, dressed in a long green dress, a moth-eaten foxskin, and a pointed hat undoubtedly adorned with a well-fed vulture.

She was full of aura, like an old lion.

Neville kept his head down at his toes, and he whispered, "I know." ”

"Then you should tell your friend, Neville!" Mrs. Longbottom looked at William and Hermione.

"Neville's parents were both mad by the Death Eaters using the Mind Piercing Curse." Mrs. Longbottom said proudly.

But there was more sadness in the tone.

Hermione covered her mouth, tears rolling in her eyes, Neville hadn't said it before, and none of them knew it was because of the hospitalization.

"Neville, remember who hurt your parents?" Mrs. Longbottom asked suddenly.

"Bellatri ......"

"Louder!"

"Bellatrix Lestrange, and Rodolphus, Rabastan!" Neville's face flushed and he yelled.

"What would you do if they escaped from Azkaban?"

"I'll kill them with my wand!"

"Good." Mrs. Longbottom was satisfied.

William squinted his eyes and thought about it, the name Rodolphus was not unfamiliar to him, and he had checked his memories with Dumbledore before, and Tywin's Death Eater ritual process came from this Death Eater.

William thought it was a little ridiculous that such a heinous Death Eater was not sentenced to death and was still imprisoned in Azkaban.

Mrs. Longbottom stared at William for a moment, then suddenly stretched out her wrinkled claw-like hand to him.

"Thank you, kid, for catching a Death Eater and stopping one at Gringotts."

William raised an eyebrow, shook her hand, and then wondered, "You know? ”

After William was paid enough for the Gringotts incident, the officials naturally hid him.

"Of course I know," said Mrs. Longbottom proudly, "that our family is an Auror, and I have many students, friends, and relatives in the system, and I am much better informed than you think. ”

Neville glanced at William in surprise, he didn't expect the little wizard he met in the hospital to be so powerful.

"Minerva mentioned you to me, and she spoke highly of you, saying that you were a good boy, and I saw you helping Hermione with her first grade homework?"

"Yes." William nodded.

Mrs. Longbottom's stern gaze turned to Neville again, "I want Neville to be an Auror too, so that he can inherit the glory of the family."

But I'm afraid he didn't inherit his father's talents, can you help Neville with Hermione while you're tutoring? ”

William nodded immediately, "Of course, I've been free lately, and if he needs help at school, he can come to me." ”

At that moment, Mrs. Longbottom suddenly turned her head to look at the hospital bed.

"Ah, Alice, dear, what's wrong?"

Neville's mother was already walking slowly in her pajamas.

It was an extremely thin and haggard face, her eyes looking large, and her graying hair looking dry and fragile.

She didn't seem to want to speak, or she didn't have the ability to speak. She reached out and cautiously moved towards Neville, holding something in her hand.

"Again?" Mrs. Longbottom said in a tired voice, "Very well, Alice, dear, very well.

Neville, take it, whatever it is. ”

Neville had reached out his hand, and his mother had dropped the wrapper of the Super Bubble Gum into his palm.

"Very well, dear." Mrs. Longbottom, pretending to be very happy, patted Neville's mother on the shoulder.

Neville grinned, "Thank you, Mom." ”

His mother hobbled back to the nursing bed and began to mumble to herself.

"Neville, throw that candy wrapper in the trash. The candy wrappers she's given you should be enough for you to plaster all over your bedroom. Mrs. Longbottom sighed, as if she were a little tired.

"You guys go play, and I'll talk to them both for a while." Mrs. Longbottom instructed.

William, Hermione, and Neville made their way downstairs.

Out of Mrs. Longbottom's sight, Neville didn't throw the wrapper in the trash, but smoothed it back and carefully put it in his pocket.

William took a small box from his pocket that had been enlarged with the Traceless Stretching Charm and handed it to Neville.

This was what he had used to store potions, and the space was the size of two large chests.

"It's convenient to put what your mother gave you." William said.

"Thank you, William!" Neville hurriedly took it.

Hermione grabbed William's arm, still teary-eyed.

William was thinking about something else.

Since Lily can use the power of prehistoric mysteries, she can bounce back Avada to protect Harry.

So can this power eliminate the influence of the Diamond Heart Curse and save Neville's parents?

William wanted to learn this magic for the first time, not out of curiosity or to gain knowledge, but simply to help others.
