[HP] Sickness and Medicine

He turned his head in the other direction, and had to be careful not to get his hair covering his face.After a while, the closed space that had been shaded by curtains dimmed again. It should be that the candles in the ward were extinguished.There was basically no difference between opening and closing her eyes, and it was unclear when she finally fell asleep.

Waking up the next day, seeing a faint light shining on the ceiling, Dolores immediately guessed that it was dawn.Barely moving her stiff neck, her head fell back into the pillow again.The effect of the anesthetic has not yet passed, and the hands, feet, and even the internal organs still do not obey orders.

Her lucidity was soon discovered by Madam Pomfrey.The latter opened the curtain, put the tray on the low cabinet on the right side of the hospital bed, and smiled at her: "Good morning, Miss Murray!"

"Good morning, ma'am!" she returned with the same expression.

"Just wake up." Madam Pomfrey turned the silver spoon into a straw, put it into the medicine bottle and brought it to her mouth: "This is a blood tonic, you lost a lot of blood yesterday, drink it obediently, don't be disgusted It's bitter!"

"En! Thank you, Ma'am!" Although Dolores was not used to this coaxing tone, she knew that as a wounded woman, she would not shy away from medical treatment.

"Very good!" Madam Pomfrey praised, and gave her another bottle of potion: "The school breakfast has just started, and you also need to replenish your energy. This is a nutritional potion, you won't be hungry after drinking it. By the way, it's orange flavored, I think you'll like it?"

"Thank you." Dolores took a sip of the sour-sweet liquid, "It's delicious." It's not like a potion.

"I adjusted this specially, and it's usually used to appease some rambunctious junior students." Madam Pomfrey said with a smile: "Of course, there are also rewards for obedient children who take medicine."

Dolores couldn't help feeling hot on her face.There's more than a little shame in being called a "child" by a middle-aged witch to someone who's lived more than 200 years.

"That's enough for you to drink for now. When Severus arrives later, he will bring another potion, just for the scratch on your back."

"Well. Thank you ma'am!"

Madam Pomfrey's confession of needing Severus' help wasn't an admission of weakness.According to St. Mungo's division of medical personnel, Madam Pomfrey is a therapist, who is specialized in diagnosing injuries and formulating treatment plans, while the production and research of medicines are the responsibilities of pharmacists.Although Severus was not a pharmacist, he was a potion master of a higher level, so he could naturally make up for her weakness.

It was just after seven o'clock, and the castle was still quiet. Madam Pomfrey opened the window to let in air, and only the chirping of birds was clearer.Dolores could roughly distinguish the voices of ravens.After all, it has entered November, and snow may fall in the Scottish Highlands at any time. Except for sparrows, corvids, like humans, will stay in one place all year round.

Of course, birds are based on instinct, and the reasons for humans are complicated, although in most cases, it ends with habit.

After changing a new bandage for Dolores, in order to protect her privacy, Madam Pomfrey closed the curtain tightly when she left.In the darkness, Dolores, who was sober, found that her perception seemed to be multiplied. Before the eight o'clock chime sounded, her body had already begun to connect.She wasn't happy about it at all. Compared with the control of her limbs, the existence of pain was more obvious, as if she was showing off her power to her brain.

After eight o'clock, the pain had accumulated to a terrible level, and even itching, burning and other sensations were mixed in. Dolores knew that she could no longer use anesthesia, and she could only bear it if she screamed or not, so she simply bit the corner of the pillow tightly. , use the bite force to vent one or two.

Wave after wave of derived heat surged in her body, and wave after wave of cold sweat slowly slid down her skin, making Luo Lisi tremble slightly after being stimulated.She swallowed hard, and used her relatively healthy left arm to touch the wound on her body, hoping to relieve some discomfort by touching it.

"Oh, Severus, you're finally here! Miss Murray is awake." The light and Madam Pomfrey's voice came into the curtain together.Sensing Dolores' intentions, Madam Pomfrey hurriedly stopped her: "No, Miss Murray, stop! You can't touch your wound directly!"

"Ma'am..." Dolores said weakly, "The anesthesia has completely failed."

"It turned out to be earlier than expected? That should be related to the messy potion you drank before, and a small amount of the potion was offset by it." Madam Pomfrey asked her with pity: "You child! Since you are so uncomfortable, Why didn't you call me!"

She stuck a hand out of the curtain, "Severus, give me the potion!"

"I was about to explain." Severus' voice was as low and clear as ever: "The formula I determined last night, only the bactericidal effect is not good enough, and it can't be improved in a short time, so in addition, I also brought a bottle Wound-Cleaning Potion, the two medicines are used together."

"Cleansing agent?" Madam Pomfrey looked at the purple liquid in her hand: "I also have this medicine in stock here, but I didn't use it for Miss Murray, because its concentration is too high, and it will cause a tingling sensation when touched. If it is spilled on the wound, the irritation will be even greater, I am afraid the child will not be able to bear it."

"If you don't want to suffer, then don't get hurt." Severus said coldly, his attitude seemed unreasonable: "Or, Bobby, you can ask Miss Murray's opinion."

"I can..." Dolores answered without waiting for Madam Pomfrey to convey the question: "Madame, it's important to treat the wound, I'm fine."

"Then I hope you can bear it." Madam Pomfrey no longer objected: "I'm starting, you should be mentally prepared."

Without further delay, she lifted the blood-soaked quilt from Dolores' body, and after basic sanitation, she held the opened medicine bottle in her right hand, hovering steadily above the wound, with the mouth of the bottle tilted downward, and the purple liquid When it dripped, a puff of purple-reddish smoke instantly arose.

"Ah——" Dolores screamed, her body trembled violently, and her arms subconsciously waved, as if this could drive away the pain.

"Don't move, Miss Murray!" Madam Pomfrey pressed her shoulders: "If you're like this, if I don't target the wound, the potion will be wasted!"

Dolores was undoubtedly unwilling to waste the potion provided by Severus, but in the excruciating pain, she could not calm down no matter how hard she tried.Knowing that her body was still twitching and causing inconvenience to Madam Pomfrey, she forced a smile at her: "I'm sorry, ma'am... I have troubled you..."

"You child..." Madam Pomfrey showed pity, but she didn't stop because of this, but dropped another drop of potion.

This time Dolores clenched her lips tightly and gritted her teeth, she didn't exhale painfully again, but it's a pity that her body's reaction is not completely under her control.

"Ah, be careful!" Madam Pomfrey grabbed the medicine bottle that she had almost knocked down, "It's really not an option to continue like this." She thought quickly, then her eyes lit up, and she turned her head and shouted outside the curtain, "Sir Forrest, are you still there?"

"Yes." Severus responded quickly.

"Come in, give me a hand! Miss Murray is too excited, I need you to help me hold her down!"

"No, Bobby, I'm a male teacher, I'm not suitable. I'll find you a female student!"

"Don't be a mother-in-law! It's breakfast time now, and the students are all on the first floor, and you can't apparate, so it's too late to go back and forth! The matter is urgent, and it's justifiable, I didn't know you were still so cautious people!"

"Okay." Severus lifted the curtain and entered reluctantly.

Noticing the black-haired man who appeared in the field of vision, Dolores was heartbroken, and immediately buried her face in the pillow, sobbing softly.She thought she must be extremely ugly now, her hair was rubbed into a mess, blood, medicine and sweat stains were intertwined on her skin, and her body was shaking uncontrollably, making her like a fish short of water. Dying in the ravine.

"Stop her arm!" Madam Pomfrey commanded: "Be careful with your right hand! A piece of flesh was bitten off her, no worse than the injury on her back!"

"Okay." Severus bent down, lifted Dolores' hands above her head, and brought them together, clasping them tightly on the pillow.Her wrist was slender and well-proportioned, just big enough for him to hold it in one hand.

"A free hand? That's right!" Madam Pomfrey rolled her eyes, indicating where he should pay attention: "Help me see if she bit her tongue and hurt herself. Also, she is lying face down like this No, the pressure is too high, and it is easy to suffocate."

This time Severus didn't order it.He glanced at Madam Pomfrey's hand.It's a pity that she is holding a medicine bottle in her right hand and pressing Dolores' shoulder with her left hand, which is not suitable for exchanging tasks with his hands.He could only frown in vain, resisting the slight strange feeling in his heart, put his fingers into Dolores' neck, wrapped her jawbones on both sides, and pulled towards the direction where he was standing.

Dolores' expression was blank for a moment.Although his hand was quickly withdrawn, the feeling of his slightly rough fingertips resting on her face was firmly imprinted on the skin, and it seemed that the lingering warmth had not disappeared for a long time.

"Bite your tongue?" Severus asked to confirm, he couldn't pry her mouth open to check.

"No..." Dolores opened her mouth slightly, revealing the teeth marks on her lower lip.

"But it's coming soon." Severus picked up a ball of clean gauze and stuffed it into her mouth: "Bite this."

His movement was so sudden that Dolores didn't even have time to actively cooperate, so one of his fingers inevitably bumped into one of her fangs, drawing a scar, although it was not enough to break the skin, it immediately became red and swollen.

Severus said nothing.After fulfilling Madam Pomfrey's request, he immediately turned his face away, closed his eyes tightly, and never looked aside
