CHAPTER XIII

Madam Pomfrey's medicine didn't know what it was, but Sally slept until noon the next day, and when she woke up, her legs didn't seem to hurt at all, except that her brain hurt from sleeping for too long, but she felt a little unable to exert her strength. Madam Pomfrey brought her lunch, and after complaining mercilessly that she slept soundly, she told her that her legs were normal, and that with a little movement, it would be fine.

As soon as she had finished lunch, Harry and Ron came to see her, and the two of them told her how interesting Quidditch was, and also talked about Malfoy's performance in Quidditch class, and Harry's excellent performance, and finally, Ron told Sally that Harry had been accepted as a Gryffindor Seeker, and explained to Sally in detail how difficult it was. Later, Fred and George also arrived, and they brought Sally some weird beans and told her that they would be the best way to pass the time when she was hospitalized. The four of them came together, and the more they talked, the more excited they became, and the louder they became, until Madam Pomfrey came and chased them away.

She had spent an extremely boring few days in the hospital, with both Harry and Ron having their homework to write, and Madam Pomfrey not allowing them to visit too much. They brought a few books, and Malfoy never came.

Finally, Sunday night, she was discharged from the hospital. Because Monday is Halloween, every time there are some problems in the academy because of the students' pranks, Madam Pomfrey has to prepare in advance, so she kicked out the guy who has been standing in the hospital bed, for her move, Sally is full of gratitude, through these few days of getting along, she knows that Madam Pomfrey is actually a very kind-hearted person, and also graduated from Slytherin.

Back in the common room, she didn't see Malfoy, only Goyle and Crabbe, two big men, standing out. She walked over.

"What about Malfoy?" asked Sally.

"You're back. Goyle said in surprise. "We've heard you'll be discharged from the hospital on Monday. ”

"Madam Pomfrey kicked me out early. Sally said. "Where's Malfoy?"

"In the dormitory, we went and called him. Crabbe said, and the two ran to the boys' lounge, and Sally stayed on the couch to wait for him, and after a while, the two trotted back again.

Malfoy said he was asleep. Goyle said. Crabbe pinched him hard, but he was done.

“。。。。 Well, I got it. Sally got up and went back to the girls' dormitory.

On Monday morning, she got up early in the morning, waited in the common room for a long time, and did not see the three Malfoys, she went to the dining room again, and after eating, she went to the classroom of the Transfiguration class, only to see Malfoy already sitting there, except for Pansy Parkinson, who was triumphant next to him. Sally only glanced at it, then found another place to sit down.

After class, she deliberately packed up her things slowly, and sure enough, when she cleaned up, there was no one in the classroom, and Malfoy's party was gone.

As she walked, she wondered what had happened to Malfoy. But she couldn't think of a reason, and when she decided not to think about it, she found that she didn't know where to go.

By the way, the stairs just changed last Friday, and she was still lying in the hospital.

Just as she was about to take a casual walk to try her luck, she saw a familiar figure disappear around the corner of the corridor, and the familiar huge cloak made her recognize it at a glance.

Unfortunately, before Sally could scream, the figure had disappeared again, and Sally had to hurry to follow.

She was glad she didn't scream, she was behind the wall around the corner, watching Snape talking to Professor Quirrell, Professor Quirrell seemed to be pleading, Snape was resolutely blocking a door, suddenly, Professor Quirrell took out his wand, Snape also took out his wand, the two of them chanted the spell at the same time, Snape hit Quirrell, but Quirrell opened the door behind Snape, and then, he pushed Snape into the door, and closed the door again with his wand, and ran away in a hurry.

Sally knew that Professor Quirrell had run away, so she hurried to the door, and she couldn't hear any movement inside the door, but she had a faint sense that something was wrong. She pulled out her wand, thinking about all the spells she had learned, and in the end she could only find one.

"Fragmented. She said. The door cracked, and she made up for it, screaming at the scene before her. A huge hound, with three heads, tangled with Snape. One head had bitten one of his legs, and Snape was battling the other two, and there was no time to estimate the head that was biting his leg.

"I, what should I do?" she stood there at a loss, countless methods flashing through her mind, but none of them worked. Suddenly, her mind came to mind a spell she had seen when she was hospitalized, even though she had never used it.

"Iron armor. Fortunately, it was not a difficult spell, although it was not so successful, but it was enough to withstand a few blows from one of the dog's heads, and it was this moment that Snape freed up and cast a curse on the head that was biting his leg, and the dog opened its mouth in pain. Sally did it again, apparently more successfully, and in the short time she dragged Snape out of the room.

"It's back to normal. With a wave of Snape's wand, the door returned to its original state, and everything was calm again, except for Snape's gasping breath and his bloody leg.

"S, Professor Snape, are you alright?" said Sally, who was afraid to come up and sit on the ground with her legs limp.

"I can't die for a while. Snape calmed his tone and said solemnly, "Why are you here?" I remember Professor Dumbledore making it very clear at the beginning of the school year that this was a forbidden area. ”

"I, I'm lost. Sally said, "Isn't your injury more important than that?" ”

"There's no need for that. Snape cast a simple hemostatic charm with his wand, then got up, his wide black robe covering his sick leg, "I have something to do, you can go down this staircase all the way down until you turn right to the Slytherin common room, and you are not allowed to go anywhere on the way." I'm not going to deduct points from you, but I want you to swear you're going to keep a secret about everything you see today, and no one will say it, including Potter. ”

"I, I'll keep it a secret. Sally said, "But what could be more important than your injury?"

"Very well, now you go back to the lounge. Snape finished speaking, without any explanation, as if he was walking on the other side of the hallway, he tried to walk as straight as he could, but the injured leg still made him look limping.

Sally followed Snape's direction and made her way back to the Slytherin common room without incident. She read the slogan and went inside, and found that there was a rare lively atmosphere, everyone was talking about trolls, Professor Quirrell, etc., and the table was full of sumptuous food, and it was clear that all the food that should have been in the dining room had been delivered.

She saw that Malfoy, Goyle, Crabbe, and Parkinson were in high spirits, and she was not going to disturb their nature, nor did she have much appetite for food, so she prepared to go back to the dormitory quietly to think about why Hogwarts would put such a dangerous thing in the school? What was the conflict between Professor Quirrell and Professor Snape? Professor Snape seemed to be preventing Professor Quirrell from doing anything. No, judging by Professor Quirrell's move of pushing Professor Snape into the room, he wasn't at all as he usually was... She was halfway through her thoughts when she felt her arm jerk. She turned and saw that it was Malfoy. Behind him were Goyle, Crabbe, and an angry Parkinson.

"Where have you been? You didn't show up in the restaurant, do you know we're going crazy with fear? Malfoy said angrily. The strength in her hand was so great that Sally was in pain and couldn't help but snort softly, and Malfoy immediately let go of her hand and returned to her noble appearance, looking at Sally, waiting for her answer.

Sally rubbed her sore arm. Looking at Malfoy, he sneered and said, "Where have I been? You didn't go to see me once when I was lying in the hospital, and I can't see if you avoided me everywhere today? As for where I went, why didn't I show up in the restaurant, because I was lost." Are you satisfied with this answer?" she turned to leave.

Parkinson took a few steps forward and grabbed her, and said viciously, "How did you talk to Draco?"

"Let go, you crazy woman. Malfoy pulled Parkinson away, "It's not your turn to meddle with Sally for the time being." At this time, there were already many people in the lounge who looked at it intentionally or unintentionally, and Parkinson obviously felt ashamed, so he stomped his foot and left in a huff.

"I think, I can explain. Malfoy said. Sally turned, didn't speak, and didn't leave.

Malfoy hesitated, like he had told him about his relationship with Potter, after all, he didn't know what attitude to have towards Sally.

Sally had already heard Harry speak, but she had re-listened to the Malfoy version, and finally, she sighed.

"Do you remember what you said about the relationship between me, Harry, and you?" Sally said, "If I had been there, I might have stopped you directly, and as far as the matter is concerned, you don't have to risk being fired for laughing at a poor boy, but now that this matter is behind us, and Harry is a blessing in disguise, I think it's time for this matter to pass." However, if there is a next time, I hope you are more steady, you are not usually such an impulsive person. ”

Malfoy didn't speak, and in fact he was agonizing over why Sally and the obnoxious Potter were brother and sister, and his instincts told him that his best course of action was to keep his distance from Sally. In fact, he did just that, but within a day, he felt that he couldn't help it, especially when he learned that the emergency was that there was a troll in the women's bathroom, and he couldn't find Sally, all his worries disappeared in an instant.

Let's take it one step at a time. Looking at the figure that disappeared into the door of the girls' dormitory, Malfoy said. Hopefully everything is just him thinking too much.
