The Extraordinary Apothecary at Hogwarts

Fawkes' beautiful head rested on Harry's arm, and pearly tears rolled down. Harry's snake venom, skin burned by the spell, and legs with lots of gravel were all healed.

"Broken bird! Get away!" Riddle had just watched the basilisk fall completely, and when he turned around, he saw that Harry had been healed by Dumbledore's broken bird.

what?

It only took a moment to turn around, so fast?

Harry picked up the snake's fang and avoided the spell attack. He now had a weapon, and the sword was still stuck on the basilisk's body, but the snake's fang was enough. There must be a lot of venom remaining in the hollow pipe of the snake's fang. ——He did remember hearing this in Potions class.

Fox seemed to know everything. A golden-red figure flew out like a whirlwind and quickly took the diary from Margulis's cold hands.

Before Riddle's next spell could fall on him, Harry plunged the snake's fangs into the diary without hesitation.

The piercing screams and wails echoed horribly in the chamber.

Dumbledore pulled Snape back to the entrance amid these screams of staged victory.

They waited outside for a while, Harry knelt in front of the unconscious Ron, and most of Hermione's life force returned to her body. She was awake now, but her body was still weak.

Hermione was near the entrance and wanted to verify her guess, but was knocked unconscious by the blind basilisk and thrown into the passage.

Ron was knocked unconscious by his broken wand, and the damage caused by the out-of-control spell may require some recovery time.

After waiting for a few more minutes, Dumbledore released the Disillusionment Curse and walked in first - looking like he was in a hurry, as if he had just arrived.

"Shall we go in too, Professor?" Eugenie asked. "They two still need treatment."

"Wait a minute," Snape whispered. "Dumbledore needs a few minutes to praise them for their actions."

Eugenie turned sideways and put her ears closer, and vaguely heard what the professor said at the other end of the secret room. Dumbledore was instilling the greatness of love and courage into Harry.

After a while, Eugenie heard Dumbledore say that Professor Snape would be arriving soon, and Hermione and Ron would be escorted back to the school hospital by him to recuperate. Dumbledore seemed to want Harry to go to the principal's office alone for a chat.

Eugenie shook the professor's arm again, "Let's go, professor, I've been called."

Snape stepped in expressionlessly.

Harry's smile solidified on his face.

The scene was suddenly quiet.

Eugenie pinched Hermione's face and looked at her again and again. Then she raised her wand and pointed it at her. She muttered something and poked the wand from top to bottom.

Margulies was involved and Hermione was involved in something she never expected.

Dumbledore spoke, "Severus, please send Miss Granger and Weasley to the school hospital. I think there is nothing wrong with Harry. I want to talk to him alone."

Snape gave a perfunctory hum in his nasal voice, and twirled his wand in the air, conjuring two stretchers, allowing the unconscious Ron to float up, while Hermione lay down on the stretchers, supported by Eugenie.

Snape turned around and cast a spell on the basilisk that Harry and the others couldn't understand.

The dazzling light enveloped the huge body, but the basilisk did not seem to change in any way.

I don't know what this strange spell does.

After the light dissipated, Harry saw the victims again not far away. His mood, which he had just been happy because his friend was safe, suddenly fell back to the bottom.

Someone died.

He couldn't stop it.

The diary was stolen from him. If he could have discovered it earlier, he might have been able to avoid it——

Dumbledore saw Harry staring blankly at the corpse and said earnestly, "Don't pity the dead, Harry, pity those who are alive."

Harry didn't understand and looked up at Dumbledore in confusion.

Dumbledore smiled as usual. It didn't matter if he didn't understand it now. As long as he remembered these words, one day in the future he would think of them again and understand the profound meaning of them.

Until then, education is truly complete.

Eugenie did not expect Harry to understand this sentence. Perception often requires painful polishing before it can be formed.

"I can't let her lie here cold." Apart from being sucked away by Voldemort after stealing the diary, Harry didn't know anything else, and there was no need for him to know.

He thought that he should at least take her to a warm place, where the sun could shine.

Hermione had been lying weakly and had not seen the body, but she clearly heard from their words that someone had died. She wanted to get up with support, but was pushed back by Eugenie.

"You need to rest." Eugenie reminded her, and then walked out with the stretcher.

Those stretchers also flexed flexibly as they passed through the curved pipes.

Madam Pomfrey was waiting anxiously outside the gate of the school hospital. She kept walking softly but kept walking back and forth, looking nervously at the stairs from time to time.

She soon saw two stretchers following Snape, and immediately came up and asked in a low voice, "All found? How are they - Merlin's beard - poor children -" She checked Ron's injuries , looked at Hermione again, "Where's Margulies?"

Her question was met with an eerie silence as Snape moved the stretcher to the two unused beds.

Ron was moved to the bed simply and roughly by Snape, and his whole body lay limply on the quilt. Madam Pomfrey gently pulled out the quilt and covered him.

Hermione's condition seemed very strange to Madam Pomfrey. In addition to several ribs being squeezed and broken, there seemed to be some strange reason why she was in poor spirits.

Snape stood still and looked at Eugenie for a few seconds, and she nodded as if she had heard the instruction.

Madam Pomfrey had no idea what information Eugenie got from this look. She hurriedly caught up with Snape and whispered to him to explain the situation, but the latter seemed to have blocked his ears and left quickly without looking back. , leaving a gust of wind blowing on her face.

Eugenie picked up the kettle next to the hospital bed, poured some water into the cup, and fed Hermione to drink.

The effect was immediate, and Hermione drifted off to sleep.

Madam Pomfrey walked towards her quickly and asked in a whisper, "Miss Granger is-"

Eugenie half-covered her lips with her hand and said, "After being attacked by the monster in the secret room, Professor Snape will prepare some medicine suitable for her recovery. I will be responsible for preparing some others. I need to borrow your dispensing room."

"So Mr. Weasley - he seems to have been hit by a spell that went horribly wrong."

Eugenie replied, "Ron's wand was broken and broke into two pieces. I think he probably wanted to use a disarming spell at that time. This is a spell they have practiced many times in the dueling club."

"I really wish he could have a different one - is that wand in trouble still on him?"

"No," Eugenie shook her head, "Unicorn hair, ash wood, I hope it can be helpful to you."
