Chapter 19: Severe Cold

Dizzy, I went to eat lunch, and swept around. Not a few people had sniffles, tears and colds.After returning, Mel, who had a headache, continued to lie on the bed and sleep. According to Mel's past experience, as long as the cold is not too serious, it will be fine after a night of sleep.

This sleep lasted until the next day, that is, Monday morning. The twins who saw something wrong during breakfast asked Mel to go to Madam Pomfrey's to drink some 'refreshing potion'. Mel refused to do it, she thought it was a Normal people will not have a good impression of the refreshing potion when they see how it is made.

Not to mention the boiled frog eggs, the liver of the chirping fish, the glasses of the beetle, etc., the so-called dried earthworms alone made Mel feel sick.

Let her brew the potion, let her drink it!

Merlin!She should continue to catch a cold!

Just as Mel and the twins were arguing about taking the potion, 'Athena' brought the cold pills that Joey had prepared for Mel, and Mel proudly took out two pills, showing off with a fart look, "The pills Potion: It can be taken at any time, the raw materials are clean, no disgusting taste, just take it with water, it is made by Muggles!"

After speaking, he swallowed the pill in one gulp, and looked at the strange and helpless expressions of the twins, and smiled triumphantly.

Mel was very confident in the efficacy of Muggle cold medicine, but the twins didn't think so, but they couldn't persuade Mel, so they had to keep an eye on her.

Potions class was on Tuesday afternoon, and Mel's cold was not getting better. Seeing Mel staggering into Snape's lower classroom, the twins shook their heads helplessly and ran to Transfiguration class.

Mel was running a fever. Although she was stubborn and refused to admit to the twins that the Muggle cold medicine was ineffective, judging from the current situation, her cold was indeed more serious. The temperature on the desktop cooled, and the chilly feeling made her curl her lips comfortably.

Snape has always been vigorous and stern in class, and this time it was no surprise. Normally, Mel would focus on listening to the class and taking notes, trying to ignore Snape's sarcasm.

But this time Mel could ignore Snape without concentrating, because now her eyes were blurry, her ears were ringing, and she was so weak that it was hard enough for her to keep sitting upright on her desk. .

When Mel slid down from the table for the sixth time, a black shadow fell over Mel. Mel stood up unsteadily, forced a smile at Snape, his feet went limp, and he was crooked. Snape passed out.

Professor Snape, who still had a gloomy expression today, found that Maybelle Dalton was very inattentive in class, either lying on the desk or slipping under the desk.Snape was very happy, knowing that Maybelle Dalton's pigtails were not easy to catch, she had a better knowledge of the principles of potions than most wizards, and the problems he made difficult for her were rarely difficult for her, Even if it stumps her once in a while, finding faults in this area won't work for her next time.

This time, he was going to severely deduct points from her in the name of not paying attention in class.

Snape walked quickly to Maybelle's side, ready to make trouble, but found that Maybelle's expression was wrong, seeing her stand up crookedly, Snape frowned - she was sick, and very serious.

Before Snape could decide whether to deduct points for Maybel or send her to the infirmary, Maybelle had already shown a very ugly smile and fainted on top of him.

The little girl's body temperature was a little high, and the soft leaning against Snape made him a little distracted.He hadn't had physical contact with people for a long time, and Snape threw the unconscious Maybel out of the conditioned reflex, and the students who were brewing the potion were stunned.

Looking at Maybelle lying on the floor, Snape twitched the corners of his mouth and explained unprecedentedly, "She fainted! I'll send her to the infirmary!"

Then he drew out his wand and cast a levitation spell, carried Maybell out of the classroom, and stepped out of the classroom, Snape turned his head and snarled at everyone in the classroom: "If I come back, I don't see any of you who didn't take the dehydrating potion Finish it, and I'll let him taste it for himself!" The hem of the robe drew an arc, and Snape left the Potions classroom.

Hufflepuff and Slytherin were so scared that they quickly lowered their heads and concentrated on brewing the medicine!

As soon as Professor Snape entered the infirmary, he heard Madam Pomfrey screaming in surprise: "Professor Snape! What's wrong with this student!"

"Having fainted! It may be a cold and fever." Snape remained expressionless.

"Oh! Merlin! Can't you bring her here? Do you have to use a Levitation Charm?" Madam Pomfrey rushed up to pick up Mel, put her on the bed in the infirmary, and touched Mel's forehead. "She has a serious fever! Why didn't she come earlier? It's too serious now——"

"professor!"

Madam Pomfrey, who was nagging, stopped, and Professor Snape, who was about to turn around and leave, "Professor, can you make me a 'refreshing and anti-fever medicine'? This child needs to take medicine immediately, you boil the medicine It's much faster than me!"

Snape glanced at the flushed Mel lying on the bed, nodded slightly, "Okay, ma'am!" He turned and strode away.

The eyelids were heavy, and Mel exhausted all her strength to open her eyes. Turning her eyes with difficulty, Mel found that she had come to a strange place.

"Are you awake, Miss Dalton? I'm Madam Pomfrey from the infirmary." Mel looked at the fat and kindly smiling Madam Pomfrey in front of her with a weak smile, "Hello! Pomfrey lady."

"Well, come drink this cup of potion! Drink it and you'll be fine!" Madam Pomfrey gently lifted Mel, and handed the potion to her.Mel sat up along Madam Pomfrey's arms, and got close to her soft embrace, feeling a warmth rushing over his face, which was the feeling of a mother.Mel hadn't felt a kind of warmth for a long time, so she couldn't say no to refuse, and obediently drank the terrible potion, the terrible taste disgusted her and she had goose bumps all over her body.

Madam Pomfrey smiled understandingly, "'Rejuvenation and Fever Relief Potion' doesn't taste good, but it's a very effective potion, and it's made by Professor Snape himself. You'll be fine, my dear."

"Professor Snape?" Mel, who was a little more energetic, frowned, and now she began to wonder if Snape deliberately mistreated her because the medicine was so bad just now.

"That's right! I dare say this is the most perfect pair of 'refreshing and anti-fever medicine' I've ever seen. According to Professor Snape, it's four or five times as effective as a normal medicine!"

God!Four or five times the efficacy of the medicine means that four to five times more medicinal materials should be added than usual. Mel tried hard to forget the prescription and production method of the "refreshing fever medicine" in her mind, but the more she didn't think about it, those Snake skin, animal liver, excrement of arthropods, etc., drilled more and more into Mel's mind, and Mel felt that the potion he just drank was about to spit out.

She stroked her chest, "Madame Pomfrey, I'm not feeling well, I want to sleep for a while!"

"Of course, honey, I'll close the curtain for you and you can sleep!"

Mel closed his eyes and fell asleep in a short while, the 'Rejuvenation and Antipyretic' worked!

Mel woke up from the fever. She was so hot that her face, eyes, ears, and throat were burning. She tried to raise her hand but couldn't. This time she couldn't even open her eyes. She wanted to Madam Pomfrey called for help, but she couldn't make a sound.

Mel felt that she was going to die, was going to be burned to death, she moved her hands with difficulty, and slowly moved along the bed sheet to the small table next to her, when she touched something cold, maybe a glass, Mel condensed With all the strength of my body, I pushed the cup, very lucky!The cup fell off the table and broke.

The sound of the cup shattering quickly attracted Madam Pomfrey, "What's the matter, dear? Why did you break the cup? It's back to normal! Well, it's back to normal! Be more careful next time... Merlin! You Why is your face so red!"

Soon Madam Pomfrey's hands were on Mel's face, hands, and feet, "You have a fever all over, dear!" Madam Pomfrey's voice trembled a little, "Are you awake? ' Mel moved his fingers.

"I've never seen this kind of situation. A common cold can be cured by drinking the 'refreshing agent', and occasionally a serious 'refreshing and antipyretic' will be fine. This is the first time for me to be in a situation like yours See you. But don’t worry, honey, you’ll be fine, let’s cool down first, you wait!”

After a while, Mel felt ice being applied to her forehead, hands, and feet. She felt better and let herself be enveloped in lethargy again.

In the following days, Mel was drowsy and drowsy. Occasionally, when she opened her eyes, she would see Madam Pomfrey's haggard face with joy, and occasionally a few words of heart-wrenching dialogue that floated into her ears:

"Yes, Professor Sprout. I haven't found the reason yet. I'm worried. If it doesn't work, we're probably going to send her to St. Mungo's Magical Hospital!"

"That's enough, Patsy, George, Fred, it's almost time for class, she'll be fine, you go!"

"Professor Snape, have you checked the ingredients of your potion... No, no, no, of course I won't doubt the level of your potions class, but the current situation is that she just took the potion It works very well, but after about an hour the potion wears off and she burns even worse, and I... I... really... yes! Goodbye, Professor Snape."

"Yes, Headmaster! We must send her to St. Mungo's, and I'm sorry, but there's nothing I-I-I can do!"

"There, there, Poppy (Madame Pomfrey's name)! She'll be all right, it's not your fault, don't cry! St. Mungo's gonna heal her!"
