Harry Potter’s Book of Sin
Chapter 978 Warm and Cold in Saint Mungo
"Mr. McLean, then I will go back now."
As the closed door was opened from the inside, the skinny Mrs. Pierce walked out.When she came to the corridor, she squeezed a gentle smile at Harry and Ron who were waiting outside.
And then, Maca also paced out behind her.
"Well, because there are other patients, I won't send you there," he nodded naturally, before adding, "Ah, yes! I think little Cathy still needs to know the truth. If it’s hard for you to speak, Madam, let me come—"
"No, thank you... no more."
Mrs. Pierce, who had always had a bit of bitterness and embarrassment on her face, now decisively rejected Maca's suggestion.It can be heard from the two consecutive "stills" that Maca said, this is probably not the first time they have talked about this topic.
After she declined Maca's proposal, she fell into silence for a while.It wasn't until a moment later that she spoke again:
"Let me talk to Cathy! After all, I am the child's mother..."
Seeing the maternal love faintly looming on Mrs. Pierce's almost bone-shaped face, Maca did not continue to insist, but smiled to indicate that he had understood.
Watching the other party say goodbye again and then leave, the two people who had been standing next to each other couldn't help it.
"Maca, is there really no way?" Harry asked unbearably.
In front of him, Maca did not turn his head, but looked at the back of the road back to the ward and shook his head.
"No way... what I can do is to suppress the burning pain that originates from the soul." He said lightly, "The damage to the soul is too serious, and I can't repair it with my current ability. "
"Hey..." Ron followed angrily, "It's all that hateful Helbo!"
Only then did Maca glance at them.
"Okay, just cursing can't cause him any loss--" he said as he raised his leg and walked forward, and continued, "Come on! There are still several wards to check, don't Stand here and think a lot."
Harry and the others saw that Maca had already taken a few steps, so they had to suppress the heavy heart, and hurriedly followed.
About an hour later, Maca came out of the last ward on the fifth floor amid the farewells of several patients, and signaled Harry and Ron to finish the rest.
After the two of them pushed the trolley downstairs, he opened the door of a ward again and walked in.
This is the "Jenus Sic Ward", and its doors are usually locked, because the people living in it are more "special" patients.
Generally speaking, this ward only accepts long-term patients, and the therapist Ms. Straw takes care of them here like a mother.
However, due to recent special conditions, two wounded patients have now also been transferred here.
"Kingsley, how do you feel today?"
As the current head of the Auror office at the Ministry of Magic, he moved here after St Mungo reopened to the public.Of course, in addition to his special identity, in fact, he was only sent over by the way.
After chatting casually with Kingsley who was recovering gradually, Maca bypassed his hospital bed and came to the inner bed, and nodded at the patient's family who was accompanying him by the bed.
"Neville, I suddenly want to give you a little suggestion."
Obviously, the patient lying on this hospital bed is the one who needs to be transferred to this ward most, and that is Neville's grandmother Longbottom old lady.
After Neville's parents were placed here, more than ten years have passed.
In order to prevent Neville from having to rush back and forth when he wanted to visit them, Maca offered to St. Mungo to help the old lady replace the ward, and brought Kingsley to accompany Neville.
After all, if Neville is allowed to stay here alone with three relatives who cannot talk,
"what?"
Seeing Maca suddenly talk about "small suggestions", Neville suddenly felt a little puzzled.
But Maca didn't explain much, but directly pointed in the direction of the door, and then said:
"I saw Hannah when I came in just now, won't you invite her in and sit down?"
"Hannah?"
Only in this case, the already awakened courage Neville will unconsciously reveal the timidity of the past.When he saw him, his face blushed suddenly, but he still explained dryly and walked over there.
"Maca, maybe... maybe you have misunderstood something, I haven't..."
To be honest, it's better to admit that even his defense contains the truth.
Maca shrugged toward Kingsley, and immediately took advantage of Neville's departure, leaning over to examine the old lady Longbottom carefully.
It didn't take much time just to check. When Neville led Hannah in from outside, he had already retracted his hand hanging over the old lady's body.
"Hannah, what did you see me hiding just now? Did you really think I didn't see it?"
He looked at Hannah, who was as squeamish as Neville, and ridiculed him, and then said to Neville again:
"Your grandma's state has been completely stabilized, and the possibility of waking up has increased a lot...Of course, I have also told you about the problems after waking up. You have to be psychologically prepared."
"Well, no matter what grandma becomes, she is the grandma who raised me."
Neville said, subconsciously glanced at the two hospital beds inside.There, the Longbottoms were both sitting on the hospital bed, their eyes were hollow and dull.
"Even if she becomes like Mom and Dad, I will take care of her for the rest of my life."
While speaking, Hannah, who was standing behind Neville, suddenly stretched out and grabbed the corner of his clothes, making Neville's whole body tense.
"It seems Hannah will help you too."
Maca teased again, then lowered her head, leaned over to the old lady who was still sleeping on the bed and said:
"Wake up early, your Neville has even found his wife!"
"What about yourself?"
Suddenly, Maca heard Kingsley's teasing from the bed next door.His words not only relieved Neville's embarrassment, it even caused Hannah to giggle twice.
Hearing this, Maca suddenly turned around and glared at him, secretly cursing which pot to open or not to lift.
"Compared to me, I am afraid that only you need a girlfriend the most? Let me calculate, how old are you this year?"
As soon as he said this, even Neville couldn't help but laugh, and Hannah naturally laughed more happily.
During this period, even Maca didn't notice, the old lady Longbottom's little finger on the hospital bed twitched slightly.
...
When people are busy, the passage of time is often easier to be ignored.Before you know it, lunch time is almost here.
In the current period when there are more patients of this kind, the staff of St. Mungo eats in batches some time in advance.
At this moment, the canteen on the east side of the second floor had gathered today's first batch of diners, and it quickly became lively.
Right now Hermione was sitting in a corner, a little absent-mindedly poking her fork at the food on the plate, her gaze flickering on the ceiling aimlessly, not knowing what she was looking at.
Not long after, a familiar figure came in from the door suddenly, took lunch at the window and looked around for a while, and then walked straight to Hermione.
It wasn't until the figure got close that Hermione, who had been aware of it, took back her gaze that was still dangling in the air, and looked in the direction of the person passing by.
She was not surprised, because she was waiting for someone here.
"Good afternoon, Luna."
"Oh... Good afternoon, Hermione!"
Compared to her slightly sluggish spirit, Luna's response was obviously to be more energetic, still retaining the lightness and vigor of the past.
After saying hello to Hermione, Luna put down the plate and sat down happily, and looked in front of Hermione curiously.
"Hermione, what's that? It looks a bit like...a crushed Flobber caterpillar?"
"This is dragon fruit!"
As she spoke, Hermione glanced down, only to realize that she seemed to have poked them into a pool of white mud with countless black spots.
"Forget it, don't talk about it for now." She pushed the plate aside, and then said directly, "Luna, you also asked Maca to come here to wait for him? Do you think... he plans to meet him this time? What are we talking about?"
Seeing Luna listening to her talking, but a lot of food was already in her mouth, Hermione asked again, "Is it because of the previous night?"
"Probably!" Luna muttered and said vaguely.
It might be realized that it didn't make much sense to say this to her. No matter what she thought now, she would have to wait until Maca came to know later, so Hermione didn't say it at all.
She pursed her mouth, dragged the dinner plate back in front of her, and then picked up the spoon to scoop the dragon fruit that she had smashed into her mouth.
However, after waiting for her and Luna to finish lunch, Maca still did not appear.
"Where did he go?" Hermione couldn't help but muttered to herself, "Isn't he going somewhere quietly again?"
At this moment, Luna who was opposite pointed at her behind her, and said loudly:
"Hermione, look! Maca came out of the kitchen—is he going to give up his training as a therapist and become a cook?"
Hermione turned around in amazement, only to find that Maca was walking towards their table with a large tray.
"Two ladies, are you out of lunch?" Maca smiled, "Why don't you have some dessert!"
