[HP] Sickness and Medicine

The entrance to the college common room. "

"Thank you, teach...um." Dolores swallowed the last salutation.At this moment, she inexplicably felt that this was not the teacher's concern for the students, so she didn't want to call him a professor anymore.

The locations of the Slytherin and Hufflepuff common rooms are completely opposite to each other in the cellar, and they ran into pairs of students along the way, and Dolores was sympathetic again.Staggering away from Severus, she couldn't help feeling a little dazed when she saw the round barrel-shaped entrance door. She caught up with him and asked softly, "You, do you think it's familiar?"

"Familiar with what?" Severus asked back.

"It's nothing." Dolores shook her head, unable to explain that she thought of her first encounter in her previous life.

Severus didn't pursue it either, and gave her a warning look, then glanced around at the students who were cowering and didn't dare to go forward, then turned and left with a soft snort.

She didn't say goodbye again, she thought regretfully, then opened the door and walked into the common room, politely rejected a few students who thought she was inappropriate and wanted to help, and entered the dormitory with deep kicks and shallow kicks.Her roommates hadn't come back yet, so she wasn't surprised, and didn't wait for them. After taking a simple shower, she drank medicine and went to bed, and soon fell asleep in the exhaustion of exhausted passion.

Delirium ([-])

After a night of no dreams, the next morning, Dolores woke up in a daze for a while, then suddenly seemed to remember something, and grabbed her back with her backhand.The effects of beauty potion usually last for 24 hours, and it is obvious that it has not passed yet, and the scar has not recovered, but it feels different to the touch.

Wearing pajamas, she cautiously entered the bathroom. While there was no one around, she took off her blouse and turned her back to the vanity mirror, brushed her long hair to her chest, and held up the makeup mirror to observe.The palm-sized makeup mirror vaguely reflected a pink rose that bloomed just right, as if it had absorbed enough nourishment from her, and would be able to break free from her flesh and blood in the next second, instead of expressing her last love to the person she wanted. Sincere love.

Is this also a side effect of cosmetic medicine?Dolores couldn't help sighing. Sure enough, the older the prescription, the more peculiar it is, and it should be used with caution when it is passed down today. Otherwise, like she did last night, with a half-knowledge, she will be pushed into it by the effect of the medicine that is inconvenient to record through written records. danger.

"Ah—" a tall girl yawned and walked into the bathroom.As soon as she saw Dolores, her eyes lit up immediately, and she didn't even doze off: "Good morning! Are you Dolores Murray in the fifth grade? You were so beautiful last night! What's wrong with you now? Back Are you uncomfortable?"

"It's okay." Dolores immediately pulled up her clothes, lowered her head and slid around the corner to escape in a hurry.

"Hey! Don't go! Let's get to know each other! I'm in the seventh grade..." The girl's voice was quickly thrown behind Dolores.

It seems that the effect of the medicine is that you can't go out.Dolores realized something and carried it out resolutely, barely relying on snacks for support, until [-] o'clock in the evening, she found out of the common room and went to the kitchen next door to make up for supper.

After solving the restlessness in her stomach, she rushed to the school hospital to get a small bottle of white fresh essence, and applied it to the small wounds on her face and neck.This was left by the ice shards that she crushed in the Black Lake, and without the cover of the beauty potion, they were all clearly injured.

After returning to the dormitory, she chatted casually with Kara and her other roommates for a while, then washed up and went to bed early.Once the curtain was drawn, an independent space was formed, allowing her to quietly continue thinking about the problems that had plagued her throughout the day.

From her last life until her death, and from her rebirth until now, she always thought that she was willing to have a crush on her.She knew that she fell in love with someone who couldn't respond to her, and even if she tried her best to ignore him, she couldn't deny that the other person belonged to her.This kind of cognition made her regard every day that she could see him as a gift, and she could only accept it gratefully, not daring to ask for it willfully.

In the original plan, she should have gone to school quietly, graduated quietly, and worked quietly as before, as if caught in a cursed cycle, and passed him again.

However, this cycle was broken.An accident caused by a love potion, like a bait, awakened the dormant desire in her heart.Only then did she realize how happy it would be to be close to the person she loves, even to touch him, hug him, and kiss him.This was happiness that she had never experienced even in her dreams.Its allure to her was terrifyingly huge.

She backed away rationally, worried that one day she would lose control and be unrecognizable because of her insatiable greed.However it didn't work.People who have enjoyed the rich taste of love have since begun to dislike the dullness of loneliness.Her expectations for life after rebirth have gradually changed, like a fierce tiger that sniffs roses, but after being involuntarily touched by meat, it can no longer bear the hunger for flesh and blood.This momentary wantonness caused by the beauty potion, even though it was covered by a fever, could no longer make her deceive herself.

If she were standing in front of the Mirror of Erised at this moment, she would no longer be the only one in the mirror.She was right in telling Dumbledore that people's hearts are changeable. Even a piece of heart that has been idle for nearly 200 years, even if it was once favored by a ray of sunshine for a short time, will no longer be willing to be desolate and cold, and begin to yearn for a place where flowers bloom and grass grows. spring.

Dolores clutched her chest in the dark and asked herself, once again you see your desire clearly, and even experience the beauty of its approaching, in this case, do you still want to retreat?

It was difficult for her to answer "yes", although "no" was not easy either.She continued to ask herself, what can you do.

She was silent for a long time, and finally smiled silently until the corners of her eyes were wet.She thought of it—she could fight for it, even if she didn't get it; she could please her, even if she didn't get anything in return.She did not let go of the shackles of reality, but there are always people who can dance a world-renowned dance with shackles.She'd rather be a toddler than sit around waiting to die.

With this determination and knowing that she lacked courage, Dolores used the rest of her vacation to boil a pot of Befuddlement Draught in an empty classroom.A standard dose of Tranquility can make a person reckless and aggressive, but reducing the dose makes the potion less effective.For example, Dolores swallowed only a small spoonful, just enough to suppress her instinctive cowardice, and made her knock on Severus' office full of courage and fighting spirit.

"Miss Murray?" Severus opened the door, but blocked the door: "Why are you... no, what do you want?"

"Severus——" Dolores called his name softly, and said straight to the point: "I have a question for you—can I pursue you?"

Severus frowned, and his lips twitched sarcastically: "Oh, well, let me guess what kind of potion you took this time - it's Strong Invigoration Draught, which makes you exhausted Put it somewhere, or Babbling Beverage, to make you babble without knowing what to say, to play tricks on your poor Potions teacher?"

"No! I'm very calm and sober now! I know what I say and do!" Dolores gritted her teeth, grabbed his collar, and kissed him on the face: "Look, I ..."

"Papa papa" - the sudden applause interrupted her words and even her actions.In the room behind Severus, a familiar voice complained maliciously: "Principal, I saw someone taking advantage of his position to seduce underage female students. The little wizards of Hogwarts cannot be entrusted to this Humanism!"

Is there anyone else in the office?Dolores was so frightened that she immediately let go, her face turned pale.She got him into trouble again?

Another voice she was more familiar with replied: "Alastor, there must be something hidden in this. Severus also said that this student took some kind of medicine by mistake. It was not out of the heart, and there should be a correction opportunities; people who are innocently implicated should not bear harsh punishment."

Severus asked with a sullen face, "You smell of medicine on your breath, don't tell me you didn't drink anything. Tell me! What did you sneak up on this time?"

"I, I... drank, a little confusion potion..." Dolores regretted it very much.There were so many ways to quickly overcome character flaws, so why did she choose potions and come to him to do the trick.

"Oh, the confusion potion." Severus strode out of the way, exposing Dolores to his visitor.

In addition to Dumbledore and Moody she heard, there were even McGonagall, Bagman, Maxim and Karkaroff in the room.This group of people gathered together and seemed to be discussing matters related to the Triwizard Tournament.

"As you can see, this is a fifth-year Hufflepuff girl, not an impulsive and bold Gryffindor." Severus continued: "The Confusion Potion is the content of the ordinary level wizard exam One of them is taking medicine by yourself, which is also one of the methods to verify the quality of the medicine. I think we have seen her performance, and I can at least give her an E, what do you think?"

"I agree, Severus. This is just a harmless joke." Dumbledore was convinced by his words, and then turned to Dolores with a smile: "Miss Murray, your spirit of taking the exam is worthy of recognition. You've come at an unfortunate time, though. We're discussing an important item for a second project, which will bother Severus. If you need help with potions, you might as well come to him at another time."

"Okay, okay, Headmaster." Dolores took a step back and apologized with a slight bow: "Girls and gentlemen, I'm sorry to bother you." She took a deep look at Severus, then trotted Corridor to the cellar.
