A day at Hogwarts

"Because Dumbledore broke his promise to Dobby and didn't protect Harry Potter, so Dobby won't let Harry Potter get on the train, and Dobby will let Harry Potter go home!"

Dobby continued to talk indignantly, but Harry, who was sitting on the hospital bed, just looked out the window expressionlessly.

There is not much rain in the dark night, and if you tap on the glass lightly, you will see tiny snowflakes if you look carefully.

There was an iron pot on the table beside the bed, what was in it, a solid alcohol stove, a small pack of solid alcohol, a pack of matches, and a few bottles of happy water. It was clear that it was left by Charles. of.

Harry unwrapped the package of solid alcohol, put it into the stove, struck a match and threw it in. The orange flame brought warmth to the cold ward.

Put the iron pan on the stove, and after a while, you can smell the aroma of milk and pumpkin.

Dobby didn't seem to care that Harry ignored him, and continued talking to himself until there was a sound of footsteps outside the ward.

After entering the ward, Percy said happily, "Harry, you're awake!"

Harry turned his head. Dobby was gone, just Percy.

Percy said, "I'm going to go on patrol, so I'll come and see you first."

Harry said quietly, "Thank you for visiting me."

Percy saw the stove and pot on the bedside, and said, "You've been in a coma for many days, eat something and have a good rest."

"Madam Pomfrey didn't want Charles to prepare food for you, but he talked a lot before finally convincing Madam Pomfrey."

At this moment, Percy's expression changed, and he said, "Now that Charles is gone, it's Ginny who prepares food for you every day."

Harry was taken aback, and asked, "Charles is gone?"

"Yeah." Percy nodded. "He took a long vacation, but left a few days early."

"By the way, he asked the owl to give you an amulet and a necklace a few days after he left, and Ron put it on for you."

Only then did Harry realize that there was a silver necklace hanging around his neck. The pendant was a silver egg the size of a thumb. The patterns on it were Jesus, Buddha and some unintelligible words.

He just nodded, and when the food was hot, he lifted the lid to find the spoon inside as hot as butternut squash puree.

Percy talked about what happened these days, looked at his newly bought watch, and said to Harry: "Eat something first, and have a good rest. I'm going on patrol. Madam Pomfrey is going home tonight, probably Come back in two hours."

When Percy left, Harry sat on the hospital bed, sipping milk and pumpkin puree.

This soup is melted butter cooked with milk, pumpkin powder, flour, salt and pepper, though with a little too much pepper.

Harry drank slowly and continued to lie on the bed after drinking, thinking about the events of these days.

To outsiders, he seemed to be asleep all the time, but he had a very, very long dream, dreaming that he was in a space with all white surroundings and no boundaries.

I was walking there aimlessly, and occasionally I could see something on the ground in the distance, but this thing appeared and disappeared, and I couldn't come to it at all.

Until just now, it seemed that a big hand lifted him up and threw him somewhere, and then he woke up.

Harry didn't have the slightest idea about this matter, thinking that he might have been dreaming for so many days, so he stopped thinking about it.

Then he thought back to what Dobby said just now, because he hadn't responded, so Dobby said a lot to try to get his attention.

Harry figured Dobby should know something crucial, and the Chamber of Secrets had been mentioned, but he didn't say it.

Time passed as he thought about how to get Dobby to talk more.

The wind outside is getting louder, and the snowflakes are coming with the wind. The first heavy snow in 1992 has arrived.

After an unknown amount of time, when Harry was about to fall asleep on the bed, he was awakened by the sound of footsteps.

Dumbledore, McGonagall, Flitwick, and Madam Pomfrey carried something like a statue into the ward.

Harry sat up suddenly, watching the headmaster and professors put the two beds together and put the "statue" on it.

Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall saw that Harry was awake, but they were not happy. They had more important things to deal with right now.

Madam Pomfrey turned on the light in the ward, and Harry raised his hand to block the light, then put on his glasses.

Harry saw what the statue on the bed was, but didn't know what expression to make.

Percy was petrified, and not so long ago, he had been here to visit Harry.

However, at this moment, he and Penello turned into a statue hugging and kissing.

The professors were also young. They have seen many things about young people in school for so many years.

The ward was eerily quiet, the professors carefully studied the two people who were petrified, Harry sat there without saying a word, only the wind came from the window.

After a long time, Harry saw that the professors seemed to have a result, so he asked in a low voice, "Is Percy petrified like Mrs. Norris?"

Professor McGonagall frowned and said, "Yes."

Madam Pomfrey hadn't taken off her traveling cloak yet, and the melted snow had wetted several places.

She said with a little trembling: "I found them in front of the mirror on the first floor. It's terrible. They were attacked at... this time!"

Professor Flitwick said to the headmaster, "Albus, I don't think children can be allowed to patrol anymore."

"I suggest asking the ghosts to help."

Dumbledore didn't answer, just frowned and thought.

Professor McGonagall gritted her teeth and said, "Who the hell?"

It was the first time Harry saw Professor McGonagall so angry.

But after thinking about it, Percy has excellent grades, strong work ability, and self-motivated. He can be called a good student model. How can he not make people angry when he encounters an accident.

Dumbledore said in a deep voice: "The Chamber of Secrets has indeed been opened again. The biggest question is not who opened it, but what is inside."

Then he said to Professor McGonagall and Professor Flitwick: "Charles contacted Miss Catherine Clayt of Ouagadou before leaving. I received a letter from Miss Clayt yesterday. She helped to order some mandrakes. It will be sent to prepare the antidote in January next year."

In the ward, apart from him, only Professor McGonagall knew Catherine Claret. Under Charles' introduction, this student of Waggadu was able to ask the two masters of transfiguration at Hogwarts to ask questions by letter.

Professor McGonagall and Professor Flitwick breathed a sigh of relief. Although Hogwarts also grows mandrakes, they don't mature until June due to climate problems. Naturally, the sooner the antidote can be prepared, the better.

However, Madam Pomfrey looked at the two people who were petrified on the bed, and said with some embarrassment: "But...how should I feed them medicine?"

The mouths of Percy and Penello were close together without a gap, and there was no place to feed the potion after it was ready.

Dumbledore glanced at the two of them again, and said, "Pour it in through the nose."
