Harry Potter’s Book of Sin

"...Mr. McLean?"

Hearing someone calling herself, Maca immediately turned her head and nodded slightly at the other party.With a wave of his hand, the white cloth that had been floating before covered Sokas's body again.

"Madame Pomfrey, you have worked hard..." He said softly, "Are there many injured?"

"Not many. When the incident happened, most of the students were in the classrooms, and the students who took the magical biology class came back in time—" the head nurse of the school hospital, Madam Pomfrey, shook her head gently, "Just two This student’s injury is a bit troublesome."

"Who?" Maca asked hurriedly, "Is it petrified? If the mandela grass resurrection potion is out of stock, I have..."

"No, no need..." Madam Pomfrey said softly, "After replenishing the reserve before, it has not been used much, and there is still enough potion available."

If one of the faculty members in Hogwarts is the most respected by Maca, it is undoubtedly the lady Poppy Pomfrey in front of him.

Mrs. Pomfrey has been a resident therapist at Hogwarts for a long time. When Snape and others were students, she was already a school doctor here.

Her rich healing experience and proficiency in knowledge of various healing spells, potions, mixed herbs, etc., are enough to enable her to find a high-paying job in St. Mungo.

But she stayed at Hogwarts for decades, treating every patient who was sent to her with both sternness and gentleness.Even if most of them are just trivial injuries, she never complains about being bored.

By the way, the potions in Mrs. Pomfrey's place are generally weird, some are obviously sweet and delicious, and when they reach her, they will become "bitter medicine" that is hard to swallow.

I remember Mrs. Pomfrey once said this:

"If you don't want to drink these weirdly flavored medicines, please don't get hurt and don't leave yourself a chance to come to the medical room. Otherwise, please be at your own risk!"

Of course, I heard that she would be a little bit tricky with curse-damaged illnesses, and I don't know if it is true.

"It would be best if there is," Maca nodded, "Then, I'll go see the injured student."

"Hmm..." Madam Pomfrey became a little serious when he heard that he was about to enter the ward, "Of course, I have heard of Mr. McLean's achievements in potions. If it were you, naturally No problem, but please be careful not to stay too long... the patient needs a good rest!"

"Yes, I understand. I was taken care of by you back then. As a former patient, I am also grateful for your philosophy of protecting patients as the first principle."

Maca politely leaned slightly, and then followed Madam Pomfrey to the ward.

When Maca walked in, the fire was swaying in the fireplace, and the warmth of the flame dispelled the cold outside, baking the whole room as if it was still spring.

The beds on both sides are separated by white curtains one by one, but there are few patients at the moment, so most of the curtains are opened, and only two beds are still covered to ensure that even if the patients wake up, they will not be caused by the empty wards. And feel uneasy.

Maca has been to this school hospital ward several times, and the longest stay here was probably during the period when Luna was hospitalized and recovered.

And here, he also encountered an unusually significant life turning point.

After that, one was that he basically had no need to come here, and the other was that in his heart he actually had some inexplicable resistance to this place.

In this way, it seems that some time has passed since I visited the school hospital last time.Now that he came back here again, he subconsciously glanced at the window for the first time.

Right there, he had seen something that he shouldn't have seen, so that after that, even the road he was going to be determined to move forward was greatly deflected.

Flicking away the memories in his mind, Maca stepped forward to the foot of a hospital bed where someone was lying.

That was Ron, and his body still had a layer of gray at this time, but as far as petrification was concerned, he was clearly recovering.After he changed back to his original appearance, he should be able to jump around again after taking a rest.

After Maca stood by and checked him, he turned and walked to another hospital bed.

"Well?"

The other student was lying opposite Ron, and when he saw it, Maca couldn't help but sigh.Because in his opinion, the condition of this patient is probably much more serious than Ron.

"I remember she was—" Maca recalled a little, and said in his heart, "...Well, is it called'Helen Schon'?"

"It was bitten by an eight-eyed giant spider. When I found her, the trauma on her body had begun to heal. She should have done some emergency treatment on her own." Madam Pomfrey said softly, "But that It’s just skin injuries. After all, the point is toxins."

She paused, seeming to be pitying this lovely girl.

"...To be honest, that is some kind of quite dangerous toxin. After discussing with Professor Snape, I first used the dung stone mixture to temporarily suppress the spread of toxicity. Now Professor Snape should be thinking of ways to prepare for this. This toxin has a targeted antidote."

"...Really?" Maca nodded subconsciously, but his thoughts remained stuck in the consideration of Helen.

His last blow in the spider's lair really hit the guy posing as Sokas.What's more, he used the gift that Snape had given him at the time-Shenfeng Shadowless Curse.

It stands to reason that the effect of this spell created by Snape is quite extreme. It is not only fast, high in concealment, and can cut through the flesh and bones of the enemy mercilessly like a sharp sword.

The most important thing is that the injuries caused by this spell cannot be easily healed by other means except the corresponding counter-curse.

Of course, this is not absolute.

If a person who has been hit by this curse can get rid of the flesh and blood from the wound, he will be able to get rid of the alien magic attached to it.If the non-injury is too critical, you can still recover without knowing the counter-curse.

Because of this, Maca was suspicious.An injury is an injury, and the only one sent to this ward except Ron is this Miss Helen Schoen.

But he was just skeptical, after all, the fake Sokas might have already escaped Hogwarts.

If Helen is the one who escaped, and she can even use the toxin of the alienated eight-eyed giant spider to conceal herself with the wound and the flesh and blood being recovered and recovered...

"If that's the case..."

Being cruel to the enemy is nothing at all. If he can be so cruel to himself, then he is the real dangerous person.And this danger has nothing to do with its own strength.

Hazards that happen inadvertently are the most difficult to prevent.

"...Should we make the best move first?" Maca thought secretly.

"Mr. McLean?" Madam Pomfrey couldn't help but reminded that Maca had been staring at the girl in a daze.

"Huh?" Maca turned her head, and immediately saw Madam Pomfrey looking at him with a dissatisfaction, and he understood, "Ah...I'm just wondering if I will go to Snape too soon. Visit the professor."

"If you want." Madam Pomfrey nodded. "It is a good thing for the patient to have an additional pharmacist for reference... But I think we have to leave."

"Oh, of course." Maca immediately agreed. "The patient must be given a good rest, that's right!"

As for the toxin of the alienated eight-eyed giant spider, Maca naturally knew better than anyone else.He had already conducted a series of tests and records for Aragog as early as when he was transforming his bloodline.

This powerful toxin, which is a mixture of the characteristics of the Basilisk and the Eight-eyed Giant Spider, may not be much stronger than either of them, but in terms of novelty and complexity, it is quite reliable.

He believed that even Snape, as a potion master, could not dispense the corresponding antidote in a short time.

Only based on the response from Snape and Madam Pomfrey's experience, temporarily suppressing the spread of toxins is a certainty.The harvest that is handled properly will delay the onset of toxins by a few days.

Therefore, Maca did not go to Snape's potion preparation room as he said, but returned to his own office first.

There are still many things waiting for him to deal with, not only the Hogwarts incident, but there are also some tails that need to be swept away in the American magic world.For example, Sirius Black who is still recovering from bed, or the children he placed in the shed in Jackson Square.

In addition, he felt that it was time to strengthen the defensive force for Hogwarts.

"...At that time, the happiest person is probably Hermione?" Maca, who had just walked to the office door, shook her head with a smile, and then opened the door lock and walked in, "Huh-a little sleep first. Well, I haven't closed my eyes properly in these two days, and I can't keep on relying on medicine."

After closing the office door again, he lit the fireplace and boiled himself hot cocoa.

While waiting for him to cook for a while, he still did not let go of this little free time. Instead, he sat in front of the fireplace and started to write and draw in his notebook while burning the fire.

Ever since entering this magnificent and bumpy magical world, Maca found that she didn't seem to have much leisure.But for him, this busyness is extremely fulfilling.

Because he can clearly feel that he is truly "alive".
