This is a group ward.

Zhang Xiao looked around, and the sign on the nursing room clearly stated that it was the patient's permanent home.

Compared to his own ward, there are more human things around the bed;

For example, on the opposite bed, there was a sorcerer with a sad face lying on the bed staring at the ceiling.

He was muttering to himself, seemingly unaware of what was going on around him.

Counting down the second bed, lay a woman, her entire head covered in thick black hair.

The two beds at the other end of the chamber are covered by a curtain that casts some spells to block out the sound, in order to keep the sick person private.

"Come Anne, here's for you!" One of the therapists happily said to the hairy woman as she handed her a small pile of candy.

"Look, you're not forgotten, are you?

Your son sent an owl with a letter saying he would come to visit you next week, isn't it? ”

Anne roared loudly a few times, struggling desperately, and Zhang Xiao looked at her more like a therapist who went up to bite twice.

But the healer didn't seem to care, she put the candy on the small cabinet next to the bed, and hummed a song to the sad wizard again.

Neville pulled back the curtains covering the two beds at the end of the guard, a heartfelt smile on his round face:

"Mom, Dad, I'm coming to see you."

Zhang Xiao stood silently in the back, holding the flowers bought from the fifth floor, and two people were lying behind the curtain, slowly and laboriously getting up, looking at them with confused and empty eyes.

"They're all Aurors, you know, Aurors are quite respected in the wizarding world!" Mrs. Longbottom looked at her son and daughter-in-law, and said in a proud tone:

"They have a lot of talent! Both are members of the Order of the Phoenix, and have been fighting against the mystery man. ”

Zhang Xiao listened quietly to the story he already knew, but unlike reading the text, when he really stood beside Mrs. Longbottom, looking at the three people in the ward, the wordless sadness had soaked the entire room.

It was an indescribable heaviness, and he suddenly understood why Mrs. Longbottom kept telling the story of her son and daughter-in-law out loud.

Because she was afraid, afraid that Neville would become more and more inferior, she wanted to tell Neville, and also to everyone.

You don't have to feel inferior, you should keep your head up, your parents are heroes.

Because she was afraid that this unyielding couple would be forgotten

Mrs. Longbottom lost two children for the wizarding world, and she could accept sacrifice, but not oblivion.

"After the fall of the Mysteries, the dastardly Death Eaters sneak up on them and torture Frank and Alice with the Dashing Heart Curse.

Forcing them to tell the mysterious man's possible hiding place was tortured for half a night! ”

Mrs. Longbottom clutched her big red handbag, pinched the bag out of wrinkles one by one, her wrinkled face raised slightly, and said proudly:

But they didn't say anything, even though Dumbledore did arrange for the two of them to go and find out where Voldemort might be hiding.

Frank and Alice are good-looking. The Longbottom family, unswerving to death! ”

Zhang Xiao stepped forward and gently put the flower down.

He had seen old pictures of Neville showing him.

In the photo, Neville's mother has a round face full of life and joy, but it is no longer there;

In its place was a thin, haggard face.

Her eyes looked large, and her graying hair looked dry and fragile.

Neville stood beside Alice and spoke to him in a happy and happy tone, but Alice did not understand what her son meant.

She kept looking at Neville with a puzzled look.

Frank's symptoms seemed to be worse than his wife's, and even Neville's arrival didn't make him react in any way, just sitting on the bed and looking out the window, opening his arms and lowering them, repeating it over and on.

"Mom, I forgot to introduce you, this is Zhang!" Neville spoke for a moment, then suddenly remembered something.

stood up and grabbed Zhang Xiao, with a happy smile on his round face:

"He's my best friend, Mom, Zhang helped me a lot at school, and he came to see you, did you see? I have friends too! ”

Neville picked up the bouquet of flowers and carefully held it in front of her:

"Mom, he also brought you flowers, look ~ how beautiful."

Alice seemed to like this bouquet of flowers very much, and the fragrance of the flowers surprised her, so she buried her face in the whole flower, and only raised her head after a while, and her face was covered with flowers and leaves.

A goofy smile at Neville.

"Mom, you can't do this" Neville's eyes were a little red, and he reached out and gently plucked the leaves off her face, and wiped her face with his sleeve in a little panic.

Zhang Xiao only felt that his heart was blocked, he tried his best to hold back the emotions in his heart, and any comfort was pale and powerless at this time.

Alice looked at Neville, as if suddenly remembering something, and she reached out and carefully moved towards Neville, holding something in her hand.

The withered face was flattering and timid, as if fearing Neville's refusal.

"Again?" Mrs. Longbottom said in a tired voice, "Very well, Alice, dear, very well. Neville, take it, whatever it is. ”

Neville had already reached out his hand, and Alice placed a bubble gum wrapper in the palm of his hand as if she were holding some peerless treasure.

"Very well, dear." Mrs. Longbottom, pretending to be very pleasant, patted Alice on the shoulder.

Neville gripped the candy wrapper and whispered, "Thank you, Mom." I love this gift. ”

His mother hobbled back to the nursing bed and began to mumble to herself.

"Alright, it's time for us to go." Mrs. Longbottom's withered lips trembled slightly, and she turned her head to wipe away her tears quickly.

Sighing and saying, "Nice to meet you." Neville, throw that candy wrapper in the trash. The candy wrappers she's given you should be enough for you to plaster all over your bedroom. ”

Neville lowered his head, folded the candy wrapper neatly, and stuffed it into his pocket.

Zhang Xiao only felt that his nose was sour, and he hurriedly turned his head to hide his expression, the clairvoyant mirror in the Qiankun bag buzzed, and after it was connected, his father's voice came from the mirror:

"Xiaoxiao, where are you? Your mom and I didn't see you in the hall. ”

"Dad, can you come here?" Zhang Xiao said in a heavy voice.

Hearing that his son's tone was wrong, Zhang Chengdao's voice became serious, he gestured to his wife, and the two walked over quickly.

"Coming soon."
