Chapter Twenty-Seven: Helpless Hospitalization
"Madam Pomfrey, I just lost my mind then, and now I'm sober."
Looking at the bottle of so-called potion in front of him that was gurgling with strange smoke, Li Qingzhu looked at the chubby Madam Pomfrey in front of him with a gray face and said with a dry smile.
"Professor Li, please believe in my medical skills, the Animagus is very susceptible to the beastly influence after the change before it is completely perfected, and it is not completely safe after calming down, I have also dealt with several cases of Animagus beasts before, please drink this bottle of medicine, and rest for a few days, otherwise I will not allow you to leave here."
Madam Pomfrey looked at Li Qingzhu with a serious face, not moved by Li Qingzhu's honest panda appearance, she had seen a few times before.
Seeing Madam Pomfrey so insistent, Li Qingzhu had no choice but to resign himself to reaching out and taking the potion that felt more like poison.
Smell the smell, hmm, a big smell of rotten apples, is this really medicine?
Madam Pomfrey's eyes stared straight at Li Qingzhu, as if she had to watch Li Qingzhu drink before she would stop.
Li Qingzhu's heart was ruthless, he took a breath, held his breath, and then drank the potion full of malice in one go.
"Gott~"
As soon as the medicine was in his stomach, Li Qingzhu immediately retched, which made Li Qingzhu strange that he had only drunk it for a short time, but he couldn't spit out anything at all, when did his absorption ability be so good?
Madam Pomfrey saw Li Qingzhu drink it honestly, and her face improved. She reminded Li Qingzhu with a kind face: "Okay, Professor Li, you can take a break." Remember, you can't eat sweets for the rest of the day, or the medicine won't work. β
Li Qingzhu lay back on the bed with an expression of the rest of his life, looked at the ceiling and said blankly: "Don't worry, I don't regard sweets as life like Mr. Principal." β
Madam Pomfrey smiled noncommittally and shrugged her shoulders, then left the infirmary.
After drinking the bottle of medicine, Li Qingzhu always felt that his stomach was turning upside down. After more than ten minutes, Li Qingzhu felt a little better.
"Do you feel better? Professor Lee. β
At this time, the door to the medical room was pushed open. Then Li Qingzhu smelled a sweet smell on his face, and he didn't need to ask to know who this was.
"It's better, thank you for your concern, Professor Dumbledore. In fact, if you can not drink Madam Pomfrey's bottle of medicine. I'll feel better. β
Li Qingzhu rolled his eyes, and then turned his head to look in the direction where the voice came from.
Dumbledore walked over with Professor McGonagall, Professor Snape, and Professor Flitwick, looking like they were visiting the patient, which made Li Qingzhu a little helpless.
"Hey, Professor Flitwick, I'm not sick, you don't have to come and see me as a group, do you? I swear I'm in good health right now. β
As he spoke, Li Qingzhu sat up from the bed. to show their health.
Professor Flitwick laughed and said, "It wasn't my idea, I've been waiting in the office for you to return." It's just that Albus doesn't worry about you, so he called us over to see you. β
"Animagus is not as simple as you think, Professor Li, if you think it is just a simple change from man to beast and from beast to man, then I have to say that you are so naΓ―ve."
Snape squinted his eyes and said slowly, although he spoke very slowly, but the listener was not affected in the slightest, but it made people feel very uncomfortable after listening to it.
Li Qingzhu said helplessly to Snape: "Okay, Professor Snape, I thank you again for helping me get out of the fight, but I really don't have any problems. β
Snape sneered, then turned to look at Professor McGonagall.
Professor McGonagall walked up to Li Qingzhu without saying a word, took out the wand in his sleeve, and cast a spell on Li Qingzhu without saying a word, and the sudden white light startled Li Qingzhu, and he almost overreacted.
However, Professor McGonagall's magic did not cause any damage to Li Qingzhu, the white light only shook in front of Li Qingzhu a few times, and then burrowed into Li Qingzhu's brain.
Li Qingzhu didn't feel any discomfort, and after a while, white light came out from the other side of Li Qingzhu's head, but in the middle of the white light, there were these brown silk thread-like things.
Li Qingzhu looked at this scene and couldn't help asking, "What is this?" β
With a gesture of his hand, Professor McGonagall dispersed the white light, and the brown threads drifted through the air for a moment before disappearing.
Professor McGonagall ignored Li Qingzhu, she turned to Dumbledore and said, "Sure enough, there are still remnants, Albus. β
Dumbledore nodded, and while Li Qingzhu shifted his gaze to himself, he spoke: "I think Madam Pomfrey has already told you, it's not that after you calm down, the influence of animal nature will be eliminated. β
"In fact, there is still a little residue in your brain that will not go away for weeks, and if there is an external stimulus during this time, even a little bit, you will lose your mind."
"Professor Li, please trust us, this is not only for your good, but also for the safety of the students."
Dumbledore looked at Li Qingzhu sincerely and gave him the most detailed explanation.
Everything in front of him has proved that what Dumbledore said is true, and Li Qingzhu didn't expect that Animagus would have such a big sequelae, could it be said that Animagus, who has not fully mastered it, is really so chicken?
Li Qingzhu finally quieted down, he leaned against the wall again, and said with a bitter smile: "I'm sorry, I'll stay honest for a few days." β
Seeing that Li Qingzhu finally stopped insisting on being discharged from the hospital, Dumbledore was relieved.
"Don't worry, Professor Li, your magic circuit will be fully formed in a few days, and then you will be able to change back into human form without worrying about the influence of your beast."
Professor McGonagall comforted Li Qingzhu and said, and Professor McGonagall's words also reminded Li Qingzhu of his magic circuit, which somewhat made him feel a little better.
At this time, Professor Snape suddenly poured cold water on Li Qingzhu, only to hear him say in that cold voice: "But don't think that after the formal formation of the magic circuit, you can really control the Animagus perfectly, if you can't master it thoroughly, you will still face such a problem." β
Li Qingzhu was stunned for a moment after hearing this, he looked at Snape with some surprise and said, "Isn't it true that after I formed a magic circuit, I was able to master Animagus perfectly?" β
Snape scoffed and said sarcastically, "Who did you listen to this wonderful story?" β
After hearing this, Professor McGonagall also said strangely to Li Qingzhu: "Professor Li, as a very advanced metamorphosis technique, it is not so easy to master perfectly, and it took me a few years to learn Animagus to master perfectly. β
"The so-called complete mastery, in addition to being able to change freely, also includes the flexible use of Animagus, and the negative effects of immunity to beasts, and some other things, in short, this is very complex magic."
Finally, Dumbledore made a summary, he lifted his glasses, and said to Li Qingzhu seriously: "Professor Li, you still have a long way to go on the road of Animagus. β
Li Qingzhu nodded abruptly, all this was too far from what he imagined, and it was really in response to that sentence, the ideal is very plump, and the reality is very skinny.
Seeing Li Qingzhu's disappointed look, as Li Qingzhu's good friend, Professor Flitwick immediately came out to show his presence.
"Don't worry, Lee, Professor McGonagall is a master in this area, you can ask Professor McGonagall for more advice, I believe it will be of great help to your Animagus."
Professor McGonagall nodded cooperatively, "I will give you the greatest help within my ability, Professor Li." β
Li Qingzhu nodded with emotion, putting his disappointment aside for the time being, and said gratefully to everyone present: "Everyone, thank you." (To be continued......)
