[HP] Sickness and Medicine

She guessed that Severus might not be willing to apply the medicine, so she chose the method that required the most patience and time—use tweezers to pick out the hair strands, pinch out the sawdust, put on a cloth and dip it in the medicine juice, and clean up the stains little by little over and over again and blood until the wound is clearly visible, then apply the healing essence of Mortra.

Although the wound cleanser was diluted, and the amount she dipped in each time was very small, as long as it worked, it would inevitably be accompanied by a tingling sensation. She only cleaned a small part of the wound, and Severus broke out in a cold sweat and drenched her skirt.She had to take a short break and wipe the sweat off his forehead with her sleeve.

Severus was still awake, and Dolores suddenly felt fine.He lay defenseless like this, like a hedgehog covered in thorns, finally showing his soft belly, making him look gentle and harmless.

Of course, he wasn't completely relaxed. She was so close to him, and she could clearly feel that his limbs were still tensed subconsciously due to pain and habit, as if he could suddenly open his eyes in the next second and fight with someone with his wand up.She raised her hand, really wanting to give him a massage, but she was afraid that he would resist, which would destroy the peace at the moment.

what can we do about it?Dolores racked her brains, and suddenly remembered the picture of the storage room next door, and immediately waved her magic wand at the door that was not closed: "Fatiguing Fusion is coming!"

A small bottle of green liquid fell into her hand in a blink of an eye. She observed the color and recognized that it should be the work of Severus himself, so she was not worried about the lack of efficacy of the medicine.She opened the bottle cap, put the bottom of the glass bottle on the candle near her hand, and wrapped it around a few times. Green smoke curled up from the bottle, causing her to immediately cover her mouth and yawn.

Inhaling the smoke-like fatigue solution was much slower than taking it directly, which was enough for her to persist until the wound was completely treated, and it was also convenient for Severus to slowly fall into a deep sleep.According to the final effect, the fatigue solution is more like a hypnotic potion or a relaxation potion to some extent, it can completely stimulate and eliminate the hidden drowsiness with a deep sleep.

Since sleepiness is not created out of thin air, it is easier to show the effect of the medicine on people who work harder and harder in daily life.Just like now, Dolores just yawned and rubbed her eyes, and Severus' body had relaxed significantly, and even the creases between his brows were much lighter.Dolores couldn't help feeling distressed, holding his head and thinking about it for a while, from the giant Mimir to the queen Salome, before taking a deep breath to regain her senses and continue the work at hand.

The cut pieces of cloth were used for scrubbing and applying medicine, and the strips of cloth were used instead of bandages for bandaging. Dolores wrapped his wound tightly and moderately, tied a slipknot, and finally finished the work successfully.At this moment, Severus was in a deep sleep, and the room had been very quiet, his slight snoring and the sound of the second hand moving one after another, like a lazy and undisciplined serenade.

Dolores sat still and listened for a while before slowly getting up.Use the Transfiguration Charm to adjust the sofa to make it more comfortable, then fetch a blanket to cover him, and put the remaining potions and tools back in place, there is nothing she can do here.After extinguishing the candlesticks one by one, Dolores tiptoed open the door of the office to go back to the dormitory, but when she held the door frame and turned back again, she couldn't leave.

The person she loves is lying here, without sadness or joy, ignorance, how can she just walk away willingly?She can hold his hand, lean on his chest, hug his waist, kiss his forehead to say good night, no matter how intimate, he will not refuse.Why did she miss such a rare opportunity?

So, this time without the bewitchment of the potion, she bewitched herself.She closed the office door again and locked it all the way, then widened the sofa, took off her shoes, and slipped cautiously into Severus' arms.Severus could only lie on his side because of the wound, but it was convenient for her to face him.She kissed his side cheek with red cheeks, and soon fell asleep with a smile under the urging of sleepiness.

Dolores slept comfortably, because she was sure that according to the physical condition of the two, she must wake up before Severus.And so it is.When a few rays of morning sunlight passed through the water of the Black Lake and entered the office, she opened her eyes unconsciously, with the smile from last night still on her lips.

"Good morning, Severus." She pecked his brow and eyes reluctantly again before exiting the sofa, picking up her shoes and putting them on.

The fatigue solvent on the coffee table had evaporated, so she put the medicine bottle down without leaving any clues to the "crime".After confirming that the wound on the back of his head had scabbed and was recovering well, she untied the cloth strips wrapped around his head and took them away with the scraps of cloth.

Walking through the cellar corridor and entering the common room, although she hadn't been outdoors and hadn't seen Chuyang, she still felt refreshed along the way, which was incomparable to the peace of mind she felt by reducing her sense of presence in the crowd on weekdays.

Returning to her bed with the illusion spell, she didn't really feel sleepy, but she still wanted to close her eyes, as if doing so would prolong last night's dream.There is still a week before the holiday after the exam. Today, she can completely indulge and sleep until she can't sleep again.Severus can also take a good rest. Although there are seven grades of final papers waiting for him to correct, there is no need to worry about it for a while.

Another school year is coming to an end, and everyone has the right to be lazy before the bigger storm arrives.

Dolores actually didn't wait until the final day when the results were announced to see Severus.From the evening after that night onwards, he began to attend the three meals a day regularly, but every time the attention was drawn to Harry Potter, and he showed an even deeper resentment.

With TOEFL and Hufflepuff's well-connected news channels, she soon found out what happened that night.In the final analysis, the roots lie in the previous generation, because of the involvement of Harry Potter and his friends, Severus missed an opportunity to take revenge on Black, and even the successful expulsion of Lupine could not relieve him.

The fourth grade Hufflepuff's results were notified by the prefect to be collected by Dolores. When Dolores got the news, she immediately understood that he had finally spared his energy to deal with her.She wasn't worried about revealing what she had done after using the fatigue solvent, but she wasn't sure if she had violated his taboo before that.

In the end, she was actually too worrying.Severus just asked casually, "Did Miss Murray use a bottle of fatigue solution from my private storage room?"

"Yes, Professor." Dolores took out the glass bottle that she took away at that time, and now it is not empty.She knew that he knew the storage room's inventory like the back of his hand, and it was impossible for him to get away with it, so she took the time to boil several crucibles and chose the best quality among them to put them in.

"Well, not too bad." Severus frowned, reluctantly accepting this bottle of potion which was obviously lower than his finished product by more than one grade.

Watching the deep folds between his brows, Dolores moved slightly in her heart, and after a moment of contemplation, she said softly: "Professor, last night last week, I had a dream."

"Go to Trelawney for dream interpretation." Severus waved his hand impatiently: "Get your grade report card, you can go."

Dolores went on without hesitation: "I dreamed that a dog flew away on a horse."

As soon as this sentence came out, Severus was slightly startled, and did not continue to push people away.

"Then, the dog stumbled and fell into the abyss; not long after, a mouse and a wolf fell one after the other, and the dog and the dog reunited with the stag." Describing the news that was roughly remembered because of Severus, Dorothy Liz deliberately imitated Trelawney's mysterious appearance: "Professor, do you think this dream is good?"

"Excellent!" Severus snorted softly, but the corners of his mouth were already curled up quietly.But until Dolores left, he didn't ask whether the dream was true or not, and why she had such a dream.

She vaguely felt that the accumulation of flaws she missed in front of him every year alone was enough for him to notice something.It's a pity that even if he was curious, it was difficult for him to ask her for proof. This is a tradition in the magic world.Every wizarding family with a certain inheritance has its own secrets, or it is well-known in ancient and modern times, such as Trelawney predicting the future, Ollivander making wands, or unknown, and there are no examples to prove it.Although Murray's surname is common, it is not necessarily impossible to be one of the latter.

Therefore, the excuse she provided in a pretend dream not only comforted Severus a little, but also showed that she was different, which could be said to kill two birds with one stone.As for the indifference that was accidentally revealed, she continued to be at ease with the help of the psychology of sharing the same hatred with the enemy.Love what she loves, hate what she hates, she has always practiced it very well.

Beauty Potion ([-])

Although Dolores unilaterally ended any possibility of developing any intimate relationship with Cedric, the exchanges between the two families continued.Before the 422nd Quidditch World Cup, Amos did not forget to invite their father and daughter.But this time Dolores refused very frankly, because Myron was as completely uninterested as she was.

Amos regretted their absence at first, but when the Dark Mark came out, this regret was untenable.As a result, the topic volume of this World Cup has doubled, and the students' entire summer vacation has been buzzed in newspapers.

But none of these had much effect on Dolores.She was still the same as before, working part-time to earn money, preparing for homework, and planning early on for Christmas gifts for Severus.One week before the start of school, she started to prepare her luggage according to the shopping list for the new semester, but she was worried about the inexplicably extra "dress and robe".

"What's the matter, Lola?" Myron looked up from the newspaper.

"I'm thinking
