Soon, Mrs. Longbottom took Calvin to a decaying shopping street in London. At the end of the shopping street, there is an old-fashioned red-brick department store, and a neon sign with a long time without power shows its name - Dipping Department Store. It looks like the door is full of birds, and the sign that has long been reduced to a spider's paradise reads "Closed for renovation".

"This is St. Mungo's Hospital?" Calvin twisted the dust from the glass with his hand, and when he looked inside, he could only vaguely see a few dummies.

"It looks like the Ministry of Magic has gone to great lengths to hide it here. If only I could open the reserve here one day. Calvin sighed.

The old woman said absentmindedly, "I think it's a good idea, Mr. Capet, I've been to your sanctuary, and Newt and the tall Slavic wizard have introduced me to a lot of rare and furry animals, and I've been in a much better mood after coming into contact with them." ”

"I think if these fluffy cuties could come across from St. Mungo, they would be very popular."

"Really?" Calvin was relieved, "If you've been to the reserve and you're in a better mood, then I think I'm halfway there." ”

"Don't say that," said Mrs. Longbottom, her hands tangled with the lace of her red handbag, "are you really sure?" Professor Capet, St. Mungo's therapists have all but sentenced Frank and Alice to death. ”

"Madam, I think we'd better take a look at the patient's condition first." Calvin showed unusual patience with the old man.

Mrs. Longbottom nodded, and then said to a particularly ugly dummy in the window, "I have come to visit Frank Longbottom and Alice Longbottom. ”

The dummy nodded slightly and mechanically and beckoned to them.

The two lifted their feet through the window pane and entered the St. Mungo's Hospital for Witchcraft and Wizardry.

Calvin observed with interest the halls of St. Mungo's Hospital, which were not too crowded, but not too few, with patients making up the majority.

Calvin sees a young witch with a flower on his nose and angrily accuses his boyfriend of trying to conjure a flower with magic, but instead makes his nose bloom.

There was also a wizard with a golden face, who said he didn't know what magical beast had bitten him. Calvin could tell at a glance that the Quedinar snake needed to be taken immediately from the paste made from the liver of the Motra rat.

At this time, two people outside came in carrying a stretcher, and on top of it lay a man with his body twisted into a bow, his buttocks pouting high. His friend said he accidentally threw a fall, causing the crucible on the table to accidentally get stuck in his anus - the crucible also had a pair of life and death water.

The two therapists quarreled over this.

"He should go to the Artifact Injury Division, don't you see such a big crucible stuck in his asshole?"

"Nonsense, a whole dose of life and death water poured into his body from the anus, he should go to the Potions and Plant Poison Department."

Fortunately, an older female healer ended the dispute, "First go to the Artifact Injury Department to take out the crucible, and then send it to the Potions and Plant Poison Department to treat the water of life and death." ”

Calvin glanced at the sign next to him:

1st Floor - Artifact Accident Section: Crucible explosions, wands going off, broom collisions, etc.

2nd Floor – Biological Injury Section: Stings, burns, punctures, etc.

3rd Floor - Department of Strange Bacterial Infections: Infectious diseases such as dragon pox, vanishing syndrome, lymphatic mycitis, etc.

4th Floor – Potions and Plant Poison Section: Rashes, nausea, laughter, etc.

Fifth Floor - Spell Damage Section: Spells that can't be removed, spells that are used incorrectly, etc.

6th floor – tea room and shop.

"All right, let's go to the fifth floor," said Mrs. Longbottom, as they went up the winding staircase to the fifth landing, and then to the innermost chamber through some rooms with closed doors.

At this time, a female therapist in high heels trotted all the way to catch up from behind: "Mrs. Longbottom! ”

Calvin turned his head to see a middle-aged woman wearing a filigree garland on her head, kindly like everyone's mother.

"Are you visiting your son and daughter-in-law again? I'll take you in. Said the healer wearing a garland on his head.

"Thank you, Merim. Have time to go to my house for tea. ”

Healer Merium used a complex magic key to open the innermost ward, led them into the room, passed several empty beds, and opened the two curtains at the end decorated with flowers.

"Frank, Alice, your mother has come to see you." Merium said kindly.

Calvin looked at the Longbottoms on the bed and shook his head slightly. The two were dressed in pajamas, their faces haggard, but there was a sickly ruddyness, and their hair was black and white, but not messy. It seems that someone has taken care of them, and I don't know if it is the old woman or the kind healer.

Frank's head was twisted to the side, and saliva was constantly dripping from the corners of his mouth, but he had a bib around his neck, and his eyes were fixed on a picture frame on the bedside table—the picture frame was empty.

Alice's symptoms are more intuitive, she sits on the bed, holds a book in her hands, flips through it aimlessly, laughing out loud or shedding tears from time to time. The only problem was that she took the book down.

The two of them continued their movements as if they hadn't heard Merium's words.

"They—" Merim organized her language, "they're just looking at some diagrams, and their memory, their logical abilities, their comprehension skills are basically gone, you should know." ”

"Thank you, Merryum," said the old lady of Longbottom, feebly, "can we stay here for a while?" Calvin clearly felt that the old lady saw that her son and daughter-in-law were more than ten years old, and there was a big difference from the strong and tough old lady before.

"Okay." Merium smiled at the two of them and turned to leave.

Old Mrs. Longbottom sat down on the bed next to Alice, arranged a few strands of loose hair for her, and said in a babbling voice: "The sequelae of the Diamond Heart Charm make them age faster than others, you look at Alice, she has more gray hair than I do." ”

When Calvin saw Merryum gone, he took out Thestrals' glasses from his sleeve, put them on, and began to take a closer look at Frank and Alice.

Mrs. Longbottom held her breath and did not dare to speak, for fear of disturbing Calvin.

After about five minutes, Calvin let out a soft "tsk", shook his head slightly, and took off his Thestrals. Mrs. Longbottom hurriedly asked, "Professor Capet, Alice, and Frank, they, can they still be saved?" ”

Judging from Calvin's movements and his solemn expression, Mrs. Longbottom had actually guessed that there was a high probability that there would be no drama again.

Calvin sighed softly and handed the Thestrals to the old lady, "Mrs. Longbottom, take a look for yourself......"
