Chapter 24: The Second Attack
Miss Pomfrey glared at him.
"I am very happy that you still know that you came to the school hospital, but you didn't come to me directly, I am very unhappy!"
She held up the poor, lifeless thing, soft as Harry's other arm that wasn't fully developed.
"I can connect the bones in a second—but I'm going to have to make them grow back—"
"No more?" Cyrus took over, "Isn't it possible for it to get hard again?" I mean—bones. ”
"What else could it be?" Ron didn't quite understand.
"Of course I'll let it grow, but it hurts, and he'll have to spend the night here." Miss Pomfrey said with a straight face, throwing Harry a set of pajamas while giving him a hard look at Cyrus, "What the hell is going on in your head, you little girl......"
The curtains around Harry's hospital bed were drawn, Ron helped him change into his pajamas, and Hermione and Cyrus waited outside. It took a lot of work for Ron to tuck the rubbery, boneless arm into his sleeve.
"How are you still protecting Lockhart, huh, Hermione?" Ron pulled Harry's limp fingers out of his cuffs one by one as he exclaimed through the curtain, "If Harry wants to take the bones off, he'll bring it up himself." ”
"Everybody makes mistakes," Hermione said, "and it doesn't hurt anymore, does it, Harry?" ”
"It really doesn't hurt anymore." Even Cyrus looked at Hermione with a ridiculous expression, and it was needless to say what the expression of the first victim Harry was now, "Hermione, you should be sensible, think about it, if Miss Pomfrey can't do anything, Harry's right hand will be useless." Lockhart nearly disabled him forever. ”
"He didn't have any skills at all, and he shouldn't have done something he wasn't sure about in the first place."
Hermione was a little upset by this, and Miss Pomfrey walked into the curtain with a large bottle in her hand, labeled as a bone. The two of them followed.
"It's been a tough night," she said, pouring out a steaming glass and handing it to Harry, "It's hard to have long bones. ”
Seeing Harry's sad look, Ron decided to say something else to change the subject: "At least we won!" Thanks to you for catching the Golden Snitch. Malfoy's expression...... He looks like he wants to kill! ”
"I wonder what he did to that Bludger." Hermione said angrily. They had blamed Malfoy for Bludger's problems.
"We can put this question on the list and ask him together after we have drunk the polyjuice decoction. I hope the Polyjuice Potion tastes better than this......" Harry's words grew quieter, and before Hermione and Ron could realize that something was wrong, they saw that Harry's gaze seemed to be on Cyrus's body.
"Polypotion?" Sellers spoke out his "doubts" at the right time.
Now, too, they realize that something is wrong.
"Harry! You said you leaked! Hermione covered his mouth with a pillow like crazy.
Ron hurriedly stopped in front of Cyrus and hurriedly said, "You heard Ginny wrong, how could we refine a compound potion without a compound potion?" That's a potion that can't be made even in the upper grades, not to mention that the secret recipe is still hidden in the forbidden book area, and you need to go to Snape to steal the potion! That's impossible! And we couldn't find a place where we could concentrate on refining potions without being disturbed......"
"Ron, I warn you, you've pretty much told everything!" Harry struggled to unravel the pillow with his left hand.
Ron's face turned pale immediately, and he quickly begged, "Don't tell Mom, please......"
He almost didn't give Sellers a knock.
"Hehe......" Hermione smiled awkwardly.
"Of course I don't make a small report." Cyrus shook his head and said that it wouldn't do him any good, but......
"So, you're the one who plans to turn into a Slytherin with a polypotion, and then ask if Malfoy is the one who opened the Chamber of Secrets?"
The trio nodded immediately.
Then, Hermione reacted and said in surprise, "Wait, you know the compound potion?" And know what it's used for? ”
You know, Ron hadn't heard of any compound potions at all.
"I've seen it in books." Sellers said unconcernedly. The book "Potions of Power", Riddle had read it more than once back then. He brushed the subject and continued, "If you don't mind, you can call me with you then." ”
"You-" Ron was about to refuse, when there was a bustling sound outside the door, and the Gryffindor team flocked to him, so he had to keep his mouth shut and desperately wink at Cyrus.
The team brought a lot of food and drink, as if they were going to have a party directly at the school hospital, which annoyed Ms. Pomfrey, who immediately rushed out from the other side and kicked everyone out.
"This boy needs rest, he has thirty-three bones to grow! Get out! Get out! ”
At the entrance of the school hospital, Sellers met Colin who was about to come to visit, and the kid wanted to go in, but was taken out by a group of people from the team, and the little man craned his neck in the crowd to look around.
Ron avoided him and immediately ducked away.
"Don't look at Colin, Madam Pomfrey won't let us see Harry." Cyrus reminded "kindly", "But you can, ...... secretly"
After saying that, he left directly.
Ginny's body was a little too tired, and in order not to affect Ginny's health, Sellers still planned to go and take a rest. There are still a few hours left between now and Hogwarts curfew.
-----------------
At night, Sellers awoke in the darkness of the chamber.
Huge basilisk surrounds him.
Despite its terrifying magical powers, its eyes could not harm him, the one who controlled the basilisk.
"The second hunt, it's time to begin!"
He sat on top of the basilisk's head and ordered the basilisk to close its eyes. This magical creature is actually very different from snakes in that it relies more on sight and sound than on heat induction.
"Listen to me, and I'll show you the way." Cyrus made a terrifying voice in his mouth, like something evil whispering.
The night at Hogwarts was quiet and eerie, and Sellers keenly avoided Filch, who was still patrolling, and rode the huge serpent in the direction of the school doctor's room.
At the same time, Colin also took a bunch of grapes secretly left at the dinner, intending to secretly visit Harry Potter in the same way that Sellers said to him. Since it was his first night tour, Colin also brought his own camera. I'm looking forward to shooting something different.
From this point of view, he can also be said to have gotten what he wanted.
Humming a song, he walked around the corner briskly, but accidentally bumped into a huge object, causing Colin to fall to the ground, and even the grapes in his hand fell.
"What Dong—" His voice quickly became hoarse as he looked at him.
At this moment, a huge snake—the head alone was bigger than his—was facing him with its eyes closed. And on the body of that big snake, it was the familiar "Ginny Weasley".
"Ginny, you're the heir of Slytherin?" He said it with all kinds of nonsense.
"That's right, it's a pity that no third person will know about it." Cyrus said jokingly.
As if realizing something, Colin immediately picked up the camera and pointed it at the basilisk and Ginny, trying to capture the culprit.
You can die yourself, but at least—
"Click!"
"Goodbye - Mudbloods!"
