[HP] Sickness and Medicine

Go in, take your things, goodbye! "

"Okay, goodbye!" Pomfrey said as he entered the door, turned his head and saw Dolores woke up, and greeted her with a smile: "Good afternoon, Miss Murray, Miss Lake!"

"Good afternoon, Madam Pomfrey!" The two replied in unison.

Dolores asked Kara again in surprise: "Is it afternoon?"

"That's right, it's afternoon. You've slept for a long time!" Kara looked at her: "Fortunately, the allergic symptoms have completely disappeared!"

"That's right!" Madam Pomfrey agreed, "Miss Murray, you can be discharged from the hospital! Since you are allergic to fungi, you must be careful in the future! Oh, by the way, your Potions professor wants me to tell you, don't Forgot to go to his office to pick up your paper, it's already afternoon, just right!"

"I will, thank you for your reminder!" Dolores responded, and immediately got out of bed.When putting on her shoes and socks, she noticed that there was only a shallow mark left from the wound on the sole of her foot, which was new flesh growing out.She is not surprised by this, no injury can be hidden from the experienced head nurse of the school hospital.

The two girls left the school hospital arm in arm. They met a boy on the moving stairs and grinned happily when he saw them.Dolores thought he looked familiar, and was wondering why this man was smiling at them, but Carla happily ran up to hug him, then turned her head and introduced to Dolores: "Dolly, this is Louise Blanchett , Ravenclaw sixth year."

"Boyfriend?" Dolores smiled knowingly.

"Yes!" Kara puffed her chest out, "I just caught up with you last week, and I'm still a hot boyfriend!"

Dolores and Louis got acquainted with each other for a while, and Tokara directly called each other by their Christian names, and was praised by this Ravenclaw for hard work, love and wisdom, which made her feel ashamed secretly.

Louis came up from the cellar, carrying the biscuit juice he got from the kitchen, and was about to go to the school hospital; since he met the receiver on the way, he diverted to send them to the lake, and left things behind, but no one stayed.

The reason he used for leaving was to go to the library to do vacation homework, so that Kara complained half-truly after he left: "He is good everywhere, but he is a bit nerdy!"

"He wants to leave the conversation space for us girls, which is very considerate! Besides, isn't love reading a good thing?" Dolores raised her eyebrows and asked back: "Aren't you still praising me in front of him, a Ravenclaw? Eager to learn?"

"Easy to learn, it's too common in Ravenclaw house. What attracted me to him was the heroic posture of him hitting the Bludger with a bat-you must not have thought of it?"

"He's the beater for the Ravenclaw Quidditch team?"

"That's right. The first time I noticed him was during the match between Ravenclaw and Slytherin this year. He knocked that bastard Malfoy off the broom." Kara waved her hand happily: "It's so relieved! I Anyone who isn't in the same grade as Malfoy knows how annoying he is!"

"Quiet like a rabbit, moving like an eagle, Kara, you have a good eye!" Dolores hesitated for a moment, but still couldn't hold back her curiosity: "I'm asking a question, I hope you don't mind—"

"You ask!"

"Harry Potter hasn't always been your favorite, why did you have another relationship this school year without him?"

"Harry——" Cara drew a long voice, showing some regrets: "This year's Valentine's Day, I saw him and Zhang on a date at the Three Broomsticks bar. Harry got his wish, so I had to give up and didn't pay attention to them anymore. .”

"That's it." Dolores had nothing to say.

She could understand Carla's mood.If the sweetheart only belongs to them, then maybe they still have the qualifications to fight for them; but if they have become dependents, entanglement is a moral issue.

Contacting herself again, Dolores could only sigh.In a sense, her initially obscure unrequited love for Severus had been feeding off the fact that he was single; if he hadn't been as committed as she was, or if he hadn't died young, her feelings might not have been. Can thrive until death.

Death itself is a threshold. In front of it, some people realize that they have lost their way, and some people still insist on going their own way.There is no good or bad right or wrong in this, but it is like a fish drinking water, knowing whether it is warm or not.

Hatred Potion

After finishing the afternoon tea by the lake, Dolores and Carla separated in the hallway, one went to meet the professor and the other went to find her boyfriend.The corridor where Severus' office was located was ordinary and inaccessible, and it was so quiet during the holidays that it gave the illusion of stepping into the land of the dead.She stood outside the door for a while before raising her hand to knock, but it was as light as if she was afraid of disturbing something.

"Come in." Severus commanded from inside the house.

"Good afternoon, Professor Snape—" Dolores' heart was pounding, wondering how his attitude towards her would change after what happened last night.

"Yeah." Severus, who was reviewing something, explained without looking up: "The papers and medicines are on the shelf on the right-hand side of the door."

Dolores watched as she said, and noticed that what was pressed on the parchment was no longer a frosted glass jar containing Wangyou ointment, but a dark brown glass bottle with a picture attached to it, and there were two and a half moons clamped on it. A white label with a hexagonal star.She read out the name of the potion: "Rano Potion?"

"'Rano' means 'early morning' in Polish. This is your mission this time."

"Where is Wangyou Ointment? Have you given up?"

Severus raised his eyebrows and glanced miserly: "Aren't you allergic to fungi?"

"You are only allergic to touching or eating." Dolores slowly expressed her opinion: "Professor, I have already experienced its effect at the cost of being allergic to Wangyou ointment, which must be more conducive to the paper. Writing. You have also given me suggestions on sub-topics, such as the public's misunderstanding of the auxiliary role played by the hallucinogenic Amanita muscaria. So, I don't want to skip it, otherwise, that would be my regret."

"You remember clearly." Severus waved his wand, and the familiar frosted glass jar flew from the storage room into Dolores' hands: "Putting Rano's potion until next time."

After he finished speaking, he lowered his head and went back to work. Although he was not as usual, always urging her with words like "you can go", but the meaning was still clearly conveyed, from his attitude of directly treating her as nothing.

Dolores waited in embarrassment for a while, holding the medicine jar and papers, before saying goodbye to him timidly.The moment she stepped out of the office, her nose was as uncomfortable as if she had inhaled lemonade, the sourness remained in her nasal cavity, and the liquid flowed backwards to her eyes.

She felt like she had screwed up.Not every time you muster up the courage to approach him, don't worry about putting yourself in danger, don't mind describing embarrassment, and don't blame yourself for sneaking in, you can cut a gap in his frozen heart, or it may backfire like this time , let him vigilantly distance himself from her again, returning to his initial impatience and indifference towards her.She even suspected that she simply chose the wrong direction and took the wrong path. If she continued, she would only fall into an endless loop, and then loop to death with nothing to gain.

Dolores, who was in a trance, wandered aimlessly in the courtyard, and finally stopped by the Black Lake.The evening breeze made the surface of the lake sparkle, reminding her of the thousands of miles of ice in winter for no reason.Every winter, there are always naughty students trying to break through the ice to see if the giant octopus in the lake hibernates.If the ice is too thick, the Archery Charm will have little effect, and the Cutting Charm will take time and effort, and the Explosive Charm should be used.A white light went down, and the goal was achieved instantly.

At this point, Dolores couldn't help but mutter to herself: "A more drastic way...is it okay?"

There is no solution to this problem for the time being. She has no idea at all, so she can only solve the urgent task of being a student first.In her previous life, she never let her personal feelings interfere with her work too much, and the worries and worries in this life will not hinder her studies.

The homework assigned by other professors is relatively simple, and she puts most of her energy on extra tasks.Following Severus' instructions, she found an anonymous manuscript called "Herbs That Love Deceiving" in the Restricted Section, and Amanita muscaria was included.With the help of a Latin-English dictionary kindly provided by Kara's boyfriend Luis, she finished this difficult academic monograph in five days.Fortunately, she was paid for her work, and she found the answer to the basic direct question.

In fact, it’s not just Dr. Umbly’s Wangyou ointment. In the middle ages when the author lived, many medicines for thinking trauma contained Amanita muscaria.The authors observed that such agents were more pronounced in patients who were well aware of the purpose of treatment than in those who were uninformed.After ruling out the influence of other components, he determined that the difference was due to Amanita muscaria.

Different from Muggle believers at the same time, the author does not believe that Amanita muscaria can help people communicate with gods. They only think that it is a kind of poisonous fungus. One of the symptoms of poisoning is to make users hallucinate, and the content is largely It will refer to subjective wishes, that is, people can get what they want in dreams, and communicating with gods is just a wish; if it is used in medicine, it will properly "fulfill" the user's health expectations, and think that health has been restored Awareness, in turn, can counteract the original trauma.Amanita muscaria is just deceiving the future by taking it as reality, successfully pushing the reality into the future, which is considered a white lie.

At the end of the chapter on Amanita muscaria, the author cited another potion that does not use it to "deceive people", named after the famous ancient Greek prophet Mopsos.The basic function of Mopsus Potion is to give the user temporary telekinesis ability, that is, mind control; if one more drop of a prophet's blood is added as a medicine primer before turning off the fire and starting the pot, it will allow the user to They also foresee parts of the future.Therefore, in this prescription, the hallucinogenic properties of Amanita muscaria actually extend human subjectivity and help it build a bridge with objectivity.When no medicine is cited, this
