Chapter 42 School Hospital
As the blue curtain fades, Shevan, Professor Kettleburn, and the unicorn and kitten fall from the sky.
With no more strength, Xiwen feebly let go of Cilith's neck and fell to the ground on her back. At the same time, he felt the kitten's soft body fall on his chest.
After coughing lightly twice, he reached out and took the kitten in his arms, looking up at the deep night sky, where countless stars gradually appeared and became blurred.
At the last moment before he fell unconscious, out of the corner of his eye, he vaguely saw Dumbledore's figure descending from the sky.
He closed his eyes in peace.
……
When Sivon opened his eyes again, he saw a vaulted dome supported by marble pillars and tall floor-to-ceiling windows in the Gothic style. White curtains and spotless white mattresses were placed all around, and the pungent smell of potions filled the air.
He realized that this was the school hospital.
"Are you awake?" A clear female voice rang in Xiwen's ears.
Shivin turned his head to see a tall witch in a white robe changing the bandage wrapped around his thigh from Professor Kettleburn, who was in the next bed.
And the professor's left leg, which was originally the only intact left, is now empty below the bandage!
Xiwen's heart skipped a beat, and his eyes suddenly moistened.
"Professor, your legs?!" He supported his body with his hands, but the white-robed witch reached out and pressed it on his shoulder, and pressed it back to the bed at once.
"Lie down and don't move!" She said sternly. "While inhaling an overdose of poisonous leopard gas, my magic power is overdrawn, and I have been overdrawn more than once or twice during this time! Do the first-year freshmen dare to mess around like this now? ”
The pale-faced Professor Kettleburn immediately comforted Xiwen and said with a big grin, "It's okay, little Xiwen." It's not the first time I've been bitten off my leg by those big guys, and I'm used to biting and biting! ”
Shivin lay on the bed and closed his eyes, but a tear spilled out of the corner of his eye.
For the first time since he came into this world, he felt this sense of powerlessness.
Xiwen always thought that he was in control of Kama Taj's spell system. Even in this new world, no matter what kind of character you are facing, you can easily get out of it. However, just last night, he could not do anything about the heavy damage done to the professor who was close by. In the end, it was even with the help of unicorns and kittens that he was able to escape from the dark wizards.
For the first time, he learned that there was more to the world than just those dangerous spells. Deadly magical creatures like the Poison Leopard have the ability to easily take his life!
"A wizard will always encounter some setbacks on the road of magic exploration, and it doesn't matter if he loses for a while, he can continue to overcome setbacks in order to become a real powerhouse."
Dumbledore interrupted Shevan's frustration with a poetic tone.
Xiwen opened his somewhat hazy eyes and looked at him.
"I'm coming to see this little wizard who didn't come to class." Dumbledore winked at Sivan and said with a smile. "In order not to grab land with your enthusiastic classmates, I deliberately took a shortcut to come."
"What? It's already noon on Monday? Xiwen's mouth opened wide in shock.
Hearing his words, the white-robed witch, Huma Dallaire, the head nurse of the school hospital, said angrily beside her: "Is it so easy for you to recover from the magic overdraft and the poison of the poisonous leopard?" ”
Then, she picked up a medicine bottle from the bedside table of the hospital bed and stuffed it into Xiwen's hand: "Drink this medicine first and then have lunch." ”
Dumbledore smiled and said, "Listen to Lady Dalaire! ”
He then walked up to Professor Kettleburn and asked about the health of the Fantastic Beasts Conservation Professor, to which Professor Kettleburn replied with a big grin.
Mrs. Dallaire lifted Shevin up a little, and put a large, soft pillow behind him for him to lean on.
Xiwen looked at the dark brown potion in his hand, and vaguely remembered the time when he was in Kama Taj, in order to treat the symptoms of the body, he poured various different drugs into his mouth every day.
He uncorked the bottle and habitually drank the potion.
"Ahem......" Xiwen coughed violently. He didn't expect this bottle of medicine to be so unpalatable, it was even better than the bitter Chinese medicine he had drunk.
Madame Dallaire patted Sivon on the back to help him straighten out his breath, and then said with a look of surprise, "I thought you were going to spit it out, I was ready to use a shut-up spell on you." ”
Xiwen looked at Mrs. Dallaire, who was not a martial artist, and pursed her lips, and stuffed two nourishing honey candies into her mouth to relieve the taste.
"Don't eat too much sweet and greasy things." Mrs. Dallaire confessed, and then turned back to look after Professor Kettleburn.
It has to be said that Madame Dallaire's potion is indeed useful. I don't know if it's a psychological effect, but in short, the headache and fatigue have improved immediately.
Just as Siwen wanted to lie down and sleep a little longer, the Slytherin wizards arrived from the Transfiguration classroom.
"Xiwen, what's wrong with you?"
"Xiwen, what happened, why didn't you go to class?"
"Hewen ......"
Xiwen looked at the group of young wizards who were talking and asked, and felt his scalp tingle, not knowing how to answer their questions.
"Quiet!" Mrs. Dallaire suddenly turned and shouted.
She walked over with an unkind face, looked at this group of noisy little wizards, and said sternly: "The patient needs to rest, you should leave the school hospital immediately for me now!" ”
"Mrs. Dallaire, we are his good friends, and we have come to visit him." Elciona glared viciously at the messy little wizards behind her, and then looked at Madame Dallaire a little unconvinced.
"No way!" Madame Dallaire's face showed no sign of softening, and she stiffly refused. "The school hospital is not a vegetable market."
At this moment, Shivin lay down on the bed and said, "Mrs. Dallaire, why don't you let my roommate and Al in for a while, I want to talk to them about something." ”
Madame Dallaire gave him a stern look, but finally relented, and said to Elshiona and Abraxas, "You only have five minutes. ”
Then she decisively turned around and left the scene.
Elshiona was relieved to see her leave, and gathered around Xiwen's bed.
"Brother, it's only been a few days since school started, and you haven't been to three classes, it's too strong!" Abraxas excitedly patted Shivan on the shoulder, almost slapping his shoulder off the pillow back into the covers.
"What are you doing? Xiwen is a patient! Elshiona glared at him fiercely, and then asked Shiwen, "Xiwen, what happened last night?" I heard people from Gryffindor and Ravenclaw say they saw a red spark flying into the sky from the depths of the Forbidden Forest. ”
Xiwen pretended to smile lightly and lied to them, saying, "It's not a big deal, it's been resolved." ”
"But I see that Professor Kettleburn's leg is ......," the taciturn Gomez whispered suddenly.
Elhiona, Abraxus, and Mobley turned to look at the next bed, then looked shocked and incredulous.
Xiwen also fell silent, and his expression became very gloomy.
"Xiwen, what danger are you encountering?" Elshiona asked, covering her mouth, her voice already tinged with a hint of crying.
Shevin remained silent, and the air seemed to be quiet.
