Hogwarts in a parallel world

Chapter 69 The belated rescue

Not long after Harry saw Elena rushing over, he heard a howl that sounded like it came from hell, followed by terrible silence.

But he didn't care to look out the window.Harry had only one idea in his mind right now: to apply pressure to Aurora's wound to stop the bleeding as requested by Hermione.

The huge wound on Aurora's calf finally stopped bleeding thanks to the joint efforts of Harry and Hermione.Her face was pale and she was lying on the hospital bed on the third floor extremely weak.

Slyer was leaning on the folding bed on the second floor with a look of disgrace. Elsa was also on the second floor, observing Slyer's condition.

About 10 minutes later, Elena came back carrying the unconscious Winters.She was out of breath.

As soon as Harry saw Winters' face, he felt the seriousness of the matter.If it weren't for Winters' weak pulse and slight breathing, it would be hard to believe that such a white face should be what a living person should have.

"He...he'll get through this" Harry didn't know what to say at all.He simply didn't believe Winters would wake up again.That kind of thing that corrodes the soul is the most evil existence in the world.

"Did you forget someone?" Elena suddenly laughed miserably.

"Ron... I didn't have time to think about him." Harry seemed to collapse when he mentioned Ron.Since arriving on this island, there has been an abnormally cold sea breeze, a giant werewolf, and then a crazy unicorn and a hare with fangs. . .He no longer had the energy to think about Ron anymore and he didn't dare think about it.

"Aurora's wound is obviously a trauma. How did she do it like that?" Elena's eyes were fixed on Winters. She was motionless, like a sculpture.

"A mad unicorn with a blade-like thing on its hoof... We were dealing with a tusked hare that was as big as a goat... Aurora pushed me away. , and then the crazy beast seriously injured her." Harry didn't dare to think about what would have happened to him if Aurora had reacted slower.

"Why not make a container for dark magic, so that we don't have to come to this hellish island. We can use the dark magic in that container to ensure the status of those teaching tools." Harry cursed.

"What if there is a leak? Aurora's condition is already stable. Aurora would be in danger if you didn't apply full pressure to stop the bleeding. Slyer's fracture is much lighter than I thought. I'll go to the basement to get some food. "Hermione came down from upstairs with a tired look on her face, and then she went to the basement without stopping.

"I think that's perfectly manageable," Harry disagreed.

"What if it leaks at sea? Do we need the entire southern seaport?" Elena kept staring at Winters.

"Okay, you're right" Harry gave up.

"You're all hungry, let's eat something." He brought up a tinfoil box filled with long dark chocolate bars from the basement.

"Besides, we don't know where Ron is at all now. I remember that the fireplaces can be connected." Hermione was very worried about Ron's situation if Professor Dumbledore failed to arrive in time. . . .

"No, we must not use the fireplace to contact the outside now. With such a large formation, warships escorting, and magical creatures exploring the way, such a serious accident happened. I never believe this is an accident." Harry said firmly explain.The howling of wolves in the distance gave him the chills.

"You can contact the outside world. We can wait until we get out... As for Ron... his luck has always been very good." Harry couldn't help but tremble when he mentioned the name Ron.

"You can go find Ron when these patients recover." Elena's expression was calm, but even a blind person could hear the strong hatred in her tone.Irina's state of being silent but furious frightened Harry and Hermione.

"Elena, now is not the time to get angry. The more times like this, the more calm you have to be." Harry looked at Elena and said, but when he thought of Ron, he felt his internal organs twitching.

"I know that I will not do anything stupid, especially the stupid thing the enemy wants me to do," Elena said fiercely.If it weren't for Winters' weak but stable vital signs, she really wouldn't believe that the person lying on the sofa was a living person.

"Hunger affects normal thinking," Harry said and gave Elena a long bar of dark chocolate.

"Thank you" Elena said flatly.

"Harry, it's enough for Irina to watch Winters. Your knowledge of dark magic is far inferior to your knowledge of Hogwarts. I need help." Hermione finished two sticks unusually quickly. Dark Chocolate said and walked upstairs.

"Call us immediately if anything happens." After Harry said that, he and Hermione went to see the other two patients.

"If this is all artificial, I think the man had better hope that Winters is fine," Hermione whispered.

"I don't know much about Elena, but from the look on her face just now, she might want to feed that person to the basilisk more than throwing that person into Azkaban." Harry said from Elena Strong hatred could be read in his eyes.

"Maybe a Dementor" Hermione said with a smile.Harry laughed along with Hermione.

Because Aurora lost a lot of blood, they decided to check on Aurora first.Harry followed Hermione to Aurora's bedside. Aurora had recovered somewhat.

"Where is my brother?" Aurora's first sentence was to ask how Winters was doing.

"He's just a little weak-" Harry wanted to lie, but Aurora saw through it at a glance.Harry could only tell the truth.

"He's going to be okay, right?" Aurora said with a tearful voice.

"Elena has a very deep understanding of dark magic... Winters will be fine," Hermione comforted Aurora.

"Is Elena looking at him now?" Aurora asked after calming down her uneasiness.

"If I hadn't seen Elena blink with my own eyes, I would have thought she was petrified." Harry hoped that Aurora would be happy.Hermione told him that for a seriously injured person like Aurora, violent mood swings were not a good thing.

"After Elena and Elsa sent us to the safe house, she went to find Winters without looking back. About 10 minutes later - I can't tell for sure, but it didn't take long, She came back with Winters on her back, and it was almost 5 kilometers from this safe house to the place where we encountered the Lord of Souls." Harry said in great detail.

"I want to see my brother," Aurora said weakly.

"Elena is right-" Hermione stepped on Harry's foot hard.

"Come on then, be careful. Your wound may burst open" Harry bit his lip in pain and said.

They helped Aurora go downstairs, and when they reached the first floor, Aurora suddenly stopped.She looked at Winters from the stairs without saying a word.

"What, are you okay?" Harry asked worriedly.

"I'm fine... Can you two take me back to where we were?" Aurora saw Winters lying unconscious on the sofa, with a very bad look on his face.And Elena sat next to Winters like a statue, looking at Winters motionless.

"Are you relieved?" Harry said and Hermione helped Aurora back to the hospital bed.

"Call us immediately if anything happens." After Hermione saw that Aurora was no longer so excited, she took Harry to see Slyer.After they came to the room where Slyer was, they were all stunned by Slyer's amazing appetite.He ate 15 dark chocolate bars by himself.Elsa actually ate 10 dark chocolate bars at one time under Slaer's guidance.

"What brand is this dark chocolate? It tastes really good." Slyer asked boredly.

"Well... now is definitely not the time to lose weight - the only question is do we have enough reserves?" Harry's stomach growled.

"500 cans of canned shrimp, at least 200 bags of dehydrated beef jerky, and countless breads, eggs, canned milk, ham sausages, and this kind of dark chocolate. I didn't count it carefully because there were too many," Hermione said immediately.

"No... I have to go to the basement... I'm too hungry." Harry ran out.

"Get some of everything" Elsa said loudly.

"As long as I can move it," Harry shouted hastily.

Harry reached the basement and opened the door with the Unlock Charm.As expected, it was just as Hermione said, food and medicine were all covered here.He took some of all kinds of food.Then they returned to the second floor, and Elsa gave some food to Aurora.

"She had no appetite and she was obviously worried about Winters. But I told her if she collapsed like this, if something happened to Winters, we'd be totally screwed, and then she started eating." After a while, Elsa came back.

"Aurora doesn't need two people to keep an eye on her." Harry choked. The dehydrated beef jerky was very hard.

"You and I looked at her, because you were the one who applied pressure to stop the bleeding," Hermione said, looking at Harry.

"That's no problem - I forgot to bring water... This beef jerky really has no moisture at all." Harry choked and felt very uncomfortable.

"I've got milk here" Slyer threw a can of milk to Harry.

"Thank you so much" Harry looked at the jug of milk as if he was seeing a lifeline.

After quickly replenishing their energy, Harry and Hermione went to see Aurora.She was much better than her original state, but her expression was very dull.Harry wanted to ask, but Hermione stopped him immediately.

The next morning, Harry woke up in a daze. When he opened his eyes, he saw that Aurora had woken up and was leaning on the fat wooden board of the bedside table, reading a magazine from eight years ago.

"Can you go see how Winters is doing?" Aurora asked sincerely, her eyes still red.

"Of course" Harry immediately got up from the blanket on the floor.

When he reached the first floor, he found Winters awake but very weak.Anyway, my face does look much better than yesterday.There was water all over his head.Hermione had boiled a kettle of water.

"How are you? Aurora cares about you very much" Harry asked quickly.

"It feels like I have severe pneumonia. My whole body is sore now. Where is my sister?" Winters had rare dark circles on his face.It seems that he didn't get a good rest yesterday.

"She woke up earlier than me - how did you get the water on your head... It didn't rain yesterday?" Harry asked doubtfully.

"I guess Jelena had already expected it. When I woke up at 11 o'clock in the evening, Jelena placed a large bucket of cold water next to the sofa."

"Winters suddenly developed a high fever at midnight. After I gave him some antipyretics, I found that his body temperature kept rising. Although there was no thermometer, I could feel it.

Then I noticed that every time Winters' temperature rose, his wand would make a very strange chirp, very ethereal.In fact, Irina has been staring at his wand since the second time his temperature rose."

"Harry must know" Elena's eyes were bloodshot.

"The cry of the phoenix?" Harry said immediately.

"Correct answer" Winters said tiredly.

"Then Elena thought that this was not a disease, but caused by exposure to a large amount of dark magic in a short period of time.

Then she worked tirelessly throughout the night to physically cool down Winters with cold water. Finally, I couldn't hold on any longer, so I went back to Aurora's ward to rest." Although there was bloodshot eyes in Hermione's eyes, it was not as serious as Elena's. .

"Then this patient - the famous Winters Reno. He woke up suddenly at 5 a.m., saying he was hungry and wanted to find something to eat, otherwise I could barely take a nap," Elena said angrily.

"I was careful enough. You snored very loudly. I thought you were sleeping very deeply." Winters defended. He climbed up from the sofa quietly at that time. He just took two steps when he heard Elena Said to bring her a can of milk, which frightened him.Winters had never seen anyone who snored so loudly but slept so lightly.

"You should try the Silence spell," Hermione said with a smile.

"How did I know she was such a light sleeper?" Winters said apologetically.

"Winters, what should I say... Who would have dared to sleep peacefully until dawn in your condition... If it weren't for the fact that you still had weak but stable vital signs, I would have really thought you were dead." Harry Seriously.

"Is it so serious?" Winters was stunned.

"If it wasn't so serious, why did I bother to look at you all night? I woke up every 15 minutes to check on you," Elena said with a tired smile.

"But I don't have that... feeling of soul leaving the body... I just keep having nightmares... very scary nightmares." Winters really didn't want to recall those scary and bizarre dreams.

"I dreamed that something happened to your family," Elena said tactfully.

"Okay...you guessed it...I dreamed that I went home and saw them...they were lying lifelessly on the floor...and then I saw a blur flashing outside the window. Black shadow, and then I rushed out with my wand, I wanted revenge... But as soon as I got to the door, I felt them stand up from the ground again... Then they started talking to me," Winters suddenly realized He didn't seem to be too afraid of seeing that scene anymore.

"What did I say in the dream?" Aurora limped down the stairs. Winters originally wanted to go over and help her, but he felt dizzy as soon as he got up.

"Hurry up and lie down. You've had a fever from 4 o'clock to 18:[-] in the morning. You'd better look in the mirror and see how you look now. You've lost a lot of weight." Elena immediately supported Winters and asked him Lean back on the couch.In the end, it was Harry who hurried over to prevent Aurora from falling.

"You said your soul would be with me not far away." Winters only remembered this sentence, but couldn't remember the rest.

"I am indeed with you not far away - you are on the first floor and I am on the third floor." Aurora felt that she had basically recovered, but her calf still had a dull pain from time to time.Aurora's words made everyone laugh.

"Where's Ron? I didn't see him." Winters swallowed the beef jerky like dry wood with difficulty.

"I think it's better to wait until you, Aurora, and Slaer have fully recovered from the wounded before we talk about anything else. Because I don't believe that such a serious incident can occur when warships are escorting or magical creatures are exploring the way. An accident... I believe Ron is always favored by good luck." When talking about Ron, Harry's expression immediately became very painful.Hermione patted Harry's shoulder gloomily.

"At times like this, no news is the best news." Slyer limped to the first floor with Elsa's support.

"When Winters and the others fully recover, we will immediately resume contact with the outside world." Elsa strongly agreed with Harry's opinion.

Two days later, after Winters, Aurora, and Slyer had fully recovered.Harry worked up the courage to use the fireplace to send a message to the outside.This was also their first contact with the outside world after being stranded on this strange island for four days.The first to respond to them was Ron.

"Ron? Where are you?" Harry shouted.

"I don't know where I am. I encountered that... yes, after the Metz vortex... I was teleported here. When I woke up, I saw a safe house 20 meters away from me... Also, Lavender Brown, Neville, Seamus are all here... I have to say, the food here is delicious." Ron's words made Harry feel relieved.

"Didn't you contact the Auror Emergency Response Office?" Ron asked in surprise through the fireplace.

"No, I don't believe that such an accident would happen when a warship is escorting or magical creatures are exploring the way," Harry said in a low voice.

"You may be right, then I will lead the way for the rescue Aurors. This shows that your safe house is 20km southwest of the Set River... Well... it is the 42nd -" Ron's words were interrupted by something. The voice interrupted, and then—

"Professor Dumbledore" Ron's excited voice came from the flames.

"It seems that I interrupted your remote meeting." Dumbledore's voice seemed to have magic power, completely dispelling all doubts and fears in their hearts.

"You guys should go quickly. Staying in one place for a long time is not good for your physical and mental development at this age. By the way, you guys-" Professor Dumbledore's face appeared from the flames.

"You guys wait patiently for me to come over. I really appreciate Harry's decision. It is a very rational and wise decision."

Five minutes later, Winters and the others saw the rescue team they had been waiting for.

Auror emergency team led by Professor Dumbledore.Slyer's father, Elena's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Eisen, Mr. and Mrs. Granger, Mr. and Mrs. Wesley, Elsa's parents, and Harry's godmother were all in it.

They ended the journey without any danger.What they said most before parting was: keep in touch and see each other again in September.

When Harry's godmother learned that Winters had retreated to cover Harry, Hermione, Ron, and Aurora, and faced the Lord of Souls alone, she was stunned for a long time, and then held Winters' hand hard. explain:

"I see your parents, they live in your heart"

As the hands of the clock gradually approached 11 o'clock, no matter how reluctant they were to leave, they had to part ways.In the car, the Eisens kept thanking Elena for taking care of Winters. Elena was very embarrassed to say that Winters was her good friend.As for the serious expression of Elena's parents, if it was man-made, this person would not be able to escape.

"Okay, it's really dangerous," Lydia sighed after learning what happened.

"Yeah, but that's it. Now that I think about it, it doesn't seem that scary." Winters looked at the scenery in the distance. He was no longer afraid of the future, and he didn't know why.
