While Mrs. Norris was deep in thought, Filch returned.
He walked with heavy steps, holding a mop in one hand and a mop bucket in the other. It was obvious that although Filch planned to provide Lovell with stomach medicine, he had no idea about his job.
Relax, the dirty floors have to be cleaned.
Seeing Filch fussing and cleaning the floor, Lovell suddenly felt that something was wrong.
He soon realized something was wrong: didn't Hogwarts have house elves? Why did Mr. Filch still have to do these chores? These operations could be solved by wizards or house elves with just one spell, right? Why?
Do you need to use human power to clean it bit by bit?
Faced with the wolf cub's question, Mrs. Norris couldn't answer it.
Listening to the meowing exchange between Lovell and Mrs. Norris, a smile appeared on Filch's lips: I didn't expect that the dog who could speak human language also knew cat language.
Huh? Filch frowned. If Lovell could both speak human language and communicate with cats, wouldn't it be able to translate Mrs. Norris's words for him?
Then you can completely understand what Mrs. Loris said!
Filch reacted immediately. For a serious cat lover, is there anything that makes him happier than this?
Thinking of this, Filch no longer wanted to mop the floor. He stuffed the mop into the bucket, then leaned down and stared at the wolf cub without saying anything.
"What's wrong? Is something the matter?" After feeling Filch's gaze, the wolf cub stopped talking to Mrs. Norris and turned to look at Filch.
"Can you...can you help me translate what Loris said?" When it came time to make the request, Filch was a little hesitant.
Lovell glanced at him, then turned to look at Mrs. Norris.
It knew that Mrs. Norris was very smart and could completely understand what Filch meant, so it was waiting for Norris's response. If she was willing, Lovell would naturally translate for her.
Mrs. Norris thought for a moment, finally sighed, and decided to confess everything.
"you sure?"
Under Filch's curious eyes, Mrs. Norris nodded firmly.
"Okay," Lovell had no scruples anymore and asked Filch a question: "Mr. Filch, do you know your cat is sick?"
"Of course, my little baby's gastrointestinal condition is not very good. I have been buying potions from Diagon Alley for her to drink." Filch patted his chest and expressed that he was very concerned about Mrs. Norris's health and was absolutely not negligent.
main idea.
"But that drugstore is really treacherous. The potions that have been prepared recently are getting worse and worse. Sooner or later I will have to change to another store." Speaking of this, Filch was so angry that his teeth itched. In his opinion, that store was
The drugstore just bullied him into being a squib and deliberately sold him substandard medicinal materials to make the medicine less effective.
Thinking of this, he sighed: If it doesn't work out, he will go to Professor Snape and ask him to prepare some magic potion for his cat.
If possible, Filch did not want to deal with the gloomy Slytherin Headmaster. He knew very well that the professors at Hogwarts did not regard him as a colleague. He was not so much a castle administrator, but
It's better to say that he is a servant.
But there was nothing he could do.
"Ms. Norris does not have a gastrointestinal problem," Lovell corrected Filch's misunderstanding. "She suffered from chronic renal failure due to various reasons. If she does not adjust her diet and take medicine, she may not die soon.
"
Filch:!
This sentence was like a bolt from the blue, and he was so shocked that he could not speak.
After a long while, he jumped to his feet and yelled: "How is it possible? My baby will eat whatever I eat. I swear everything I have, I will never treat her harshly-"
The wolf cub rubbed its face with its paws. It felt that Mr. Filch seemed to have no common sense about raising cats?
Even though they only spent a short period of time together with the Grangers, they showed them what the correct way to raise pets was.
One of the most important things is not to let pets eat the same food as you. Compared with food in nature, the food eaten by people has too much salt, which can cause a series of diseases, which is not good for Mrs. Loris with poor kidney function.
For a good cat, eating heavy salt food is equivalent to committing suicide.
At first, Loris's kidney function may have been weakened due to her age and unhealthy diet, but as time went by without changing, her disease gradually developed into chronic renal failure. If it weren't for the magical medicine in the drugstore that kept Loris alive,
The lady may have died of kidney failure a long time ago.
The recent failure of the "stomach medicine" indicates that her condition is deteriorating. Next, either Mrs. Norris will die of the disease, or a more powerful potion will help her survive. In the case of Professor Snape
Strength is likely to be the direction of the latter.
It seems understandable that Filch doesn't understand this, because this matter is indeed counter-intuitive, and only medical practitioners like the Grangers understand it. Lovell has no qualifications to talk about others - he can't do it himself.
When he arrived at Granger's house, he insisted on eating the same food as the Grangers. Of course, what Lovell didn't know was that Mrs. Granger had reduced the salt when preparing his portion of food.
Amount added.
After explaining the causes and symptoms of kidney failure, Filch collapsed on the ground. His reason told him that Lovell did not lie to him, and all the clues were correct, but his sensibility made him refuse to accept this ironclad truth.
fact.
"Impossible, impossible..." Filch's eyes were blank, and he leaned against the wall and repeated these words vaguely. Mrs. Norris walked to his legs and rubbed her head against his thighs.
.
"My dear, this is not true, is it? You just have a bad stomach..." Filch picked up Mrs. Norris and said eagerly, but when he and Mrs. Norris looked at each other with helpless eyes,
After looking at each other for a few seconds, Filch was speechless.
He knew he was lying to himself.
Muddy tears fell from the corners of his eyes, and Filch once again felt despair. He felt as if he was being swallowed by boundless despair, as if he was drowning and out of breath.
He lowered his head and let the tears wet the hem of his coat.
"Why are you crying? Isn't this disease a terminal illness?" The wolf cub felt that it seemed to have conveyed the wrong meaning. It said that if the disease was not treated, it might lead to the death of Mrs. Loris, but it delayed the treatment.
What a situation! This disease can be cured as long as it is treated in time.
Filch, Loris:!!!
"Huh?" Filch suddenly raised his head after hearing Lovell's words, his eyes shining with eagerness. Mrs. Norris beside his legs also stood up and listened to Lovell with her ears raised.
if.
If possible, she didn't want to be separated from her master.
"Are you telling the truth?!" Filch's voice even changed in excitement.
Lovell nodded confidently.
Of course Mrs. Norris's illness can be cured!
Most of the cats that died of kidney failure were discovered at an advanced stage. At that time, there was no way to save the day with Muggle technology, but it was different here. There was magic here! Pharmacist
They may not understand what kidney failure is, but they know how to rejuvenate their bodies.
Although continuing to stimulate the body and awakening the body's potential after a kidney problem is tantamount to drinking poison to quench thirst, such a potion can indeed maintain Mrs. Norris's fire of life and give Lovell and the others time to regulate her physical condition.
.As long as she takes good care of her kidneys, Mrs. Norris will be saved naturally.
There's just one problem: Lovell doesn't know how Muggles treat chronic renal failure.
This was normal. After all, Lovell didn't go to Granger's house to take the veterinary qualification exam. It was already a miracle that he knew the symptoms and causes of the disease.
But looking at the expectant looks in Filch and Mrs. Norris's eyes, the wolf cub felt that if he said he didn't know at this time, he would be hung up and beaten...
"It would be great if Mr. Granger were here." Lovell said a little lonely. He believed that Mr. Granger must know how to treat Mrs. Norris.
Who is Mr. Granger? Filch desperately wants to know who this person is. He will find this Mr. Granger at all costs and let him help treat his baby.
"He's a dentist."
Filch:???
What is a dentist?
After Lovell explained, Filch finally understood that Mr. Granger was a Muggle!
Like other wizards, Filch has a natural distrust of Muggles. In his opinion, things in the magical world are the most advanced, and Muggles? Not worth mentioning.
Can Muggles cure Mrs. Norris's disease? Filch didn't believe it, but he had no choice.
Of course, Filch's impression of Muggles is destined to undergo a major change today.
Finally, Filch, eager to save Loris, came up with a solution to the problem.
"It may not be very realistic to leave school and go to Muggles to meet Mr. Granger, but we can send him a letter." Filch said, rubbing his unshaven chin.
"Send a letter?" The wolf cub tilted his head, slightly confused.
"Yes, send letters. Hogwarts has a large group of owls for students to send letters home." Filch waved his hand and shared this common knowledge with Lovell.
"I see..." Lovell blinked, and he suddenly realized something: since students can send letters to their own homes, can't I also write to Hermione?
For Hermione, the wolf cub had not been seen for a day and was missed very much. It was very eager to share with Hermione what it had seen and heard here.
"Take me to see it quickly!" The wolf cub became excited when he thought of this, and he couldn't wait to send a letter to Hermione.
"Okay." Filch was also in a hurry, so he took the wolf cub and Mrs. Norris to the owl loft where the letter was sent in Hogwarts.
