Chapter 412: A Fateful Tribulation
When Madam Pomfrey announced that Ron was out of danger, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief, and after a while they found that Ron was no longer in trouble, they went their separate ways.
Although everyone was so nervous that even Ginny forgot to inform the Weasleys that something had happened to Ron, the magical clock in Weasley's house would definitely react immediately, so Dumbledore had to go back to his office to turn on the fireplace and let the Weasleys rush to Hogwarts.
Snape had come out of duty as a professor, and now that the student was fine, he was the first to leave.
Professor McGonagall, as Ron's Headmaster, was to help Dumbledore with the upcoming Weasleys.
Slughorn left or stayed, and Dumbledore was called away when he left.
And Professor Babling, who had been silently working on the sidelines, left after asking for a sample of poisoned wine.
Then the other professors left to do their own business.
Outside, the students waited for Madam Pomfrey to allow them to visit.
It was a long time before Pomfrรจve let a few of them into the room.
After Madam Pomfrey's cleaning, the smell in the room was gone, and Ron, who had changed into a hospital gown, lay quietly on the hospital bed.
At this moment, Ron's face did not have a trace of blood, and he looked very pale. Fortunately, his breathing was quite steady, which reassured everyone a lot.
Zhang Xu touched Ron's carotid artery and found that the pulse was not beating strongly.
With his hand back, he nodded to Harry to reassure them. If he frowned and shook his head, the people around him would inevitably jump up again.
Zhang Xu, who breathed a sigh of relief, realized at this time that Neville had also come over today. And looking at his anxious face, if Zhang Xu didn't know who was behind this matter, this alone would put him on the list of key suspects.
Zhang Xu saw Neville's restless appearance, looked at the time again and found that it was already past meal, so he beckoned Neville to go to the cafeteria with him to get something to eat.
On the way to the cafeteria together, Zhang Xu asked, "Neville, are you not in good spirits?" โ
"If I had been careful, Ron wouldn't have been poisoned." Neville said in annoyance.
Zhang Xu looked at Neville in surprise, he couldn't figure out why Neville would say that.
Neville then explained, "Yesterday evening when I was helping out in the greenhouse, Professor Sprout told me that my trip to Hogsmeade today had been cancelled. So I called Dobby and asked him to help me go to Duke Honey and buy a box of honey cake for Ron's birthday. โ
Zhang Xu listened and nodded, today is Ron's seventeenth birthday, and in the wizarding world, seventeen years old means adulthood, so many people, including him, gave Ron birthday gifts.
Neville continued, "Because I was working late in the greenhouse yesterday, I asked Dobby to bring the cake back to my dorm room and put it under my bed first. โ
"When I took the cake out from under the bed and gave it to Ron this morning, I accidentally took the wrong box of cakes."
"Uh......" Zhang Xu felt the malice of the world line at this moment, "So there is a problem with taking a box of cakes?" โ
"That box of cakes has an aphrodisiac in it." Neville reluctantly said, "If I hadn't taken the wrong cake, Ron wouldn't have gone to Professor Slughorn's office for the detoxification." โ
At this time, Zhang Xu looked at Neville in embarrassment, and then patted him on the shoulder, not knowing what to say for a while. It seems that Ron is destined to survive this difficulty, and Harry can't hide from Neville.
According to Zhang Qiu's gossip, the current Neville is a high-quality potential stock.
He has a very pure bloodline, and comes from one of the twenty-eight families in the British wizarding world.
Moreover, his knowledge of herbology was among the best among the students at Hogwarts, and the grapevine said that Professor Sprout would hire him as an assistant professor after he graduated, and pass on the throne to him when he retired. This kind of treatment is unique among students in these years, maybe he can go all the way from the position of professor to the dean, and then to the position of president?
And a very important point is that among the several male figures in the sixth year of Hogwarts, Harry Potter's height is fixed at 1.65 meters, Malfoy ushered in a hairline crisis at a young age, Ron has developed quite well, and Neville's appearance has begun to roll up since last year.
There are many people who have such a prominent family background, a promising future, and a potential person who looks above the level.
So a bunch of girls started wielding hoes and digging corners.
Under Ginny's strict defense, the girls who wanted to poach Harry had no choice but to return home, and over time the girls gave up.
At first, Hannah Iron-beaten Abbott was able to hold Neville, but the weather was unpredictable, and Hannah's mother was killed last fall, and she left Hogwarts for a long time until last month.
During this time, the girls launched a fierce attack on Neville, and the box of cakes with the aphrodisiac was in Neville's hands at that time, but Neville took it back to the dorm room and threw it under the bed.
As for Zhang, the whole of Hogwarts knew that he was engaged, so no one flirted with him except for some girls with iron heads. And this product can be blown on the bottle with an aphrodisiac, which makes him have to accept the complaints of his twin brother after accepting the girl's food. Because the girls who didn't know Zhang Xu's bottom were fine, after seeing that the aphrodisiac didn't work, they asked the twin brothers for a refund.
After walking to the basement, Zhang Xu could only comfort Neville and said: "It's like this, don't be sad, fortunately, there is no end to the sky, and Ron is fine." โ
"Think about it another way, if it wasn't Ron with Harry on his side who was poisoned but someone else, maybe that person would have been killed. So you can be regarded as saving someone's life in disguise. โ
After listening to Zhang Xu's words, Neville just sighed deeply.
When they entered the kitchen, the two of them found that it was a mess.
Dobby was crying and jumping to the fire in the fireplace, and a Hogwarts house-elf first hugged his waist, and then a group of house-elves rushed up to top of him and pinned Dobby underneath him.
Just as Zhang Xu and Neville rushed over, Dobby used his magic to lift the house-elf that was pressing on him, and then continued to jump into the fireplace.
Zhang Xu immediately put down Dobby, who was covered in injuries, with a coma spell.
The two of them walked over to Dobby's side, only to see that he had several bleeding wounds on his body.
At this time, a house-elf came over to Zhang Xu and said to them: "Dobby said that the cake he bought back poisoned Wei Cub, so he wants to kill himself." โ
"Well, I see, thanks." Zhang Xu said to the house-elf, "Dobby will leave it to us, and please help me prepare a lunch for ten people." โ
Except for Zhang Xu and the other five students, Madam Pomfrey also didn't eat lunch, considering that Ron might wake up later, and the upcoming Weasleys, so it was right to prepare a little more.
Since there is no shortage of lethal plants in the Hogwarts greenhouse, Neville, who often takes care of plants, has developed the habit of carrying some first-aid medicines and bandages with him, which can be used to help Dobby bandage his wounds.
After Neville bandaged him many times, he said to Zhang Xu, "I'll take Dobby to the hospital room first, and when he wakes up, I can let Harry enlighten him." โ
"Okay." Zhang Xu replied, "I'll bring lunch over by myself later." โ
When Zhang Xu came out of the kitchen and walked into the foyer with a plate full of chicken sandwiches, he saw the backs of the Weasleys walking up the stairs.
Zhang Xu put the sandwich in Madam Pomfrey's office, and then drove Harry and the others to the office for lunch.
Just then, several of Ron's older brothers also rushed to the school doctor's office.
