Chapter 110: The Lively School Hospital (Asking for Subscriptions and Rewards)
The next day, when the young wizards woke up in the morning, they smelled the sweet and enticing smell of roasted pumpkins wafting through the hallway.
The first-year students had already learned from their seniors that there was going to be a very big dinner tonight, and they were so excited that they couldn't even pay attention to Professor Snape's Potions class.
A dozen or so students were reprimanded by the stern Professor Snape, but they didn't care, their minds were full of what would be on the dinner table that night.
As planned, the Wesley Twins secretly drank a potion of diarrhea during their first class, and acted out a scene of embarrassment in front of Professor McGonagall.
The students in the classroom burst into laughter, but George and Fred pretended to be very distressed and asked Professor McGonagall for sick leave, as if they had not seen anyone laughing at them.
Professor McGonagall saw that the two of them had been in less than ten minutes, so she ran to the toilet three times, and had no choice but to ask the two of them to go to the university hospital to find Madam Pomfrey.
Cedric, who was in the Transfiguration class together, watched George and Fred walk out of the classroom together, and gave him a gesture when he finally went out, and could only shake his head helplessly.
When the Transfiguration class was over, Cedric said goodbye to his friends and walked alone to the office of Professor Sprout, the head of Hufflepuff House.
Arriving at the door of the office, Cedric's face became tangled, and after standing in place for a few minutes, he swallowed the bottle of poisonous mushroom water that the Wesley Twins had given him.
In less than a minute, Cedric's face was full of colorful mushrooms, followed by his neck, and his hands.....
"What's wrong with you, my poor boy?"
Professor Split, who was watering a rare plant in his office, cried out in horror when he saw Cedric turn into a mushroom loner as he walked in.
She put down the watering can in her hand in a panic, ran to Cedric's side, and asked with great concern.
"I'm sorry, Professor, but I was careless. Received a Halloween gift today. I opened it excitedly, and a puff of green smoke came out of it...... And then I became like this, and now I'm in so much pain, and my whole body is uncomfortable..."
Cedric said weakly.
"Poor child, you've been poisoned by a mother mushroom. The female mushroom is a very dangerous creature, and when humans inhale its poisonous gas, they will turn into a mushroom orphan, and if left untreated, they will grow into a cluster of mushroom orphans. Walk! I'll take you to Madam Pomfrey!"
Professor Sprout looked at Cedric with a distressed expression, and as he spoke, he raised his wand and cast a pain-relieving spell on Cedric.
In the school hospital, Madam Pomfrey looked at the Wesley twins lying on the hospital bed, shook her head helplessly, and then wiped the sweat on her face with the handkerchief in her hand.
In the past two days, she was a little depressed, why so many students suddenly had problems, and they were all rare and incurable diseases.
In particular, the Gryffindor students, first Hermione Granger, were in good shape, but she said that she was weak and couldn't sleep at night.
Then there was Harry Potter, who miraculously woke up after a day in a coma, and Madam Pomfrey thought that his illness had improved, but after waking up, Harry actually told her that his head was very painful, and his heart was full of anger and there was nowhere to release.
These two rare cases were the first time that Madam Pomfrey had encountered them on her first day of medical practice. In an attempt to heal the two poor students, Madam Pomfrey had not closed her eyes for two days.
And the Wesley twins in front of him actually ate the rare snow lotus root by mistake. Although it is less toxic, it will only make people have diarrhea all the time. But yacon root is grown in the Himalayas, and there is no such plant in the UK.
As a result, there are very few antidotes to this yaconical root toxin in the Hogwarts school hospital, and in the entire wizarding world of England.
Madam Pomfrey could only relieve the Wesley Twins' diarrhea symptoms first, and then asked her friends from St. Mungo's Hospital to go to another country to buy the antidote.
"Madam Pomfrey, my poor child, Diggory has been poisoned by the mother mushroom. Please help him expel the poison gas from a *** area."
As Madam Pomfrey walked out of the Wesley Twins' hospital room, Professor Sprout walked up to her with Cedric, who was already covered in mushrooms of various colors.
"Merlin's beard. Follow me into the operating room! Jesse, help me prepare the operating table!"
Madam Pomfrey exclaimed in surprise when she saw the inhuman Cedric, and then immediately led the two of them to the operating room, and at the same time admonished the little nurse beside her.
......
"Do you need to be so serious?"
Arthur sat at Cedric's bedside, peeling an orange in his hand, and asked the three people in the room.
Yesterday afternoon in the secret room, he knew that the three of them were going to pretend to be sick and sneak into the library to steal Occlumency after the Halloween dinner began.
But Arthur didn't expect that these three people would actually come for real.
"No way, Professor McGonagall has a vicious eye, if we just feign illness, she will be able to see through it."
"So Fred and I decided to buy three rare poisons from Tom One-Eyed. But unfortunately I don't have enough money, so I can only buy two."
George and Fred, who slept across from Cedric, responded weakly as they half reliant on their beds.
"One-Eyed Tom? It's the drunkard Hagrid told me about. I've heard that he's a very unreliable person, are you sure that the antidote he gave is fine?"
When Arthur heard this, he could only shake his head helplessly. Thinking of Hagrid telling him that Hogsmeade's one-eyed Tom was wanted several times by the Ministry of Magic for smuggling counterfeit medicines, he asked uneasily.
"Don't worry, Arthur. We tested it on Filch's cat last night, and the antidote was fine."
George squeezed out a smile and replied confidently.
"Oh! Poor Lady Loris..."
"Don't worry, Arthur. When Madam Pomfrey and the others go to the dinner, we'll drink the antidote..."
Cedric, who was mummified, whispered after eating a petal of Arthur's peeled orange.
"Then I can only wish you good luck."
Hearing the sound of brisk footsteps outside the door, Arthur ended the conversation. After a few more small talks with Cedric, he walked out of one room and headed for another.
"Harry, I'm glad to see you wake up. By the way, didn't Hermione come to visit you?"
Looking at Harry in the hospital bed, staring blankly at the clouds outside the window, Arthur helped him cover the quilt.
"Here you are, Arthur. I had a fight with Hermione in the morning and she left very angry... I don't know why, but when I saw Hermione, I was so upset."
Harry said with some annoyance on his face when he saw that it was Arthur.
"yes... Maybe it's because you haven't healed yet."
Arthur smiled comfortingly, then asked, "Can you remember where you were before you got sick, and if you had contact with strangers?"
In order to find out what Voldemort was up to, Arthur wanted to get Harry what he had been through that night.
