Chapter 86 Bathing and Dressing (Chapter Two in One)
The house was not big, only ten square meters at most, but it had three fireplaces, and the blazing fire made the whole house look like an oven.
But for people like Hermione who suffer from mild to moderate hypothermia, there is no more suitable room than this.
Hermione's symptoms are typical of hypothermia: she loses too much heat due to wet clothes, eventually leading to hypothermia. This symptom of hypothermia, in layman's terms, means freezing. It is slightly different from the common sense of ordinary people.
The catch is that hypothermia is quite easy to trigger. In fact, under certain circumstances, a room temperature of more than ten degrees can freeze someone to death.
Fortunately, Tom discovered it in time, and he happened to know how to treat hypothermia, otherwise the consequences would have been extremely serious.
To treat hypothermia, three things should be done: take the patient out of the low-temperature environment; take off cold and wet clothes and replace them with dry warm clothes; and warm the patient up by soaking in warm water higher than the body temperature or using a fire to warm him up. [Note]
Tom felt that he did a good job on the first two points - although the second point was not thorough enough.
Tom put Hermione on the bed, and she seemed to look a little better. Her body no longer trembled involuntarily, and the purple on her lips was gradually dissipating.
She lay weakly on the bed, her body sank a little, and her chest rose and fell slightly with her breathing. At this time, Hermione no longer had the usual sense of strength, and looked sickly. But it was this look that made her even more sick.
It's heartbreaking and makes me want to protect her.
"Sorry," Tom couldn't just leave Hermione alone. He still had a lot of things to do. He first helped Hermione take off the team robe that was wrapped around it, revealing the black turtleneck sweater underneath.
"It's a very fitting dress." Tom felt that Hermione's aesthetics were really getting better and better, but he still approached Hermione, stared into her eyes and said, "If you can still move, I suggest
Do it yourself."
The tip of his nose was almost touching Hermione's.
"Just let me lie here..." Hermione said weakly, lying on the bed, trying to be cute.
"No, wet clothes! You will catch a cold!"
Tom is a very principled person.
"Then come on," Hermione turned away from him.
Tom shook his head, grabbed the hem of Hermione's sweater, took it off in one fell swoop, revealing the exquisite black bra underneath, and then put his hands on her pants as Hermione exclaimed.
.
Hermione screamed, and a force surged out of nowhere. After pushing Tom away, she jumped up from the bed and ran into the bathroom.
"Tom the rascal!"
"Remember to take a hot bath." Tom was relieved.
After Hermione ran into the bathroom, she lay on the edge of the bathtub and turned on the faucet. Looking at the gurgling hot water, Hermione breathed a sigh of relief. She stood up and took off her pants by herself, leaving only the
Close-fitting clothing and shoes and socks.
Today, the lucky color for girls is black.
She deftly unbuttoned her black bra with her backhand, and then took off the same style of underwear.
Hermione put her hands on both sides of her thighs, gently stroking the silk fabric on her legs: it felt smooth and soft, and it also had the unique fragrance of a girl's skin. If it was normal, it would also have the body temperature of a girl.
But today, Hermione's skin was cold, and even the silk material had lost its warmth.
The best clothes and the most precious things are reserved for the most beautiful people.
Hermione slid her hands down, hooked the heels, took off the shoes on her feet and threw them aside. Then she clasped her hands on the edge of the knee-high socks and smoothed them down. The entire knee-high socks were rolled up and removed all the way to the feet.
department.
Hermione first raised her right foot, held the sock on the heel, and took it off completely. Then she moved to her left foot and took off a pair of wet silk knee-high socks.
She raised the socks to her nose and sniffed them twice. Fortunately, there was no smell, only the fishy smell of rain. Hermione threw the knee socks on the ground, and finally took off her bracelets, anklets and leg rings.
Place them neatly on the edge of the bathtub one by one, and step into the bathtub with bare feet.
"Ah..." The hot water made her let out a pleasant moan. She felt that every pore in her body was opening and expanding in the warm water. After a while, Hermione's face was covered with fine beads of sweat.
Pearl, her whole body also warmed up. The hot water in the bathtub made the girl's creamy skin add a little more color.
The hot water restored the girl's vitality.
Her fingertips slid over the collarbone, wandered around the waist, all the way down to the toes. She carefully wiped every inch of skin on the body and kneaded it several times until the blood flowed through and the whole body felt comfortable.
It was a long bath. It wasn't until the hot water was changed three times that Hermione reluctantly left the bathtub.
"The Room of Requirement is a great place. The Ravenclaw dormitory does not have such good conditions for people to take a bath as they please." Hermione really liked this magical little room from the bottom of her heart. It was still her and Tom here.
The starting point of the adventure!
But when Hermione stood up from the mist, she discovered a somewhat embarrassing fact: there was no change of clothes of her own here, and as for the puddle of wet dirty clothes on the floor, she didn't even want to touch it.
Fortunately, there was a small wardrobe next to the bathtub. She opened the door of the wardrobe, and a set of neatly folded clothes appeared in front of her.
Hermione unfolded her clothes and was surprised: Is it really okay to wear this clothes like this? But if she doesn't wear them, she doesn't seem to have any other choice...
And thinking about it carefully, there seems to be nothing wrong with this outfit, because there are only two people in the room, her and Tom. Besides, the cat ears look fluffy and quite cute.
…
[The mission is completed and the mysterious reward has been distributed]
Tom saw this message.
"Oh?" Tom raised his eyebrows: it was an unexpected surprise. He almost forgot if the system didn't mention it. As for what the mysterious reward was, he was looking forward to it.
While Hermione was soaking in the hot bath, he was recalling the Patronus he summoned today. What happened today was really special. The two Patronus could actually fuse together and become a more powerful Patronus.
This is simply unheard of! This is not Yu-Gi-Oh, and it can also fuse two monsters. Whether this phenomenon is a common phenomenon or can only be used with Hermione is not sure, and it has yet to be proven.
However, since this magic that he and Hermione used together has never appeared in the history of magic, they may have to come up with a name for it.
What name should I choose? Tom was a little confused. First of all, it definitely couldn't be called the Patronus Fusion Skill. This name was too unlucky, and he didn't want to be associated with any name with "fusion" in it. But this wasn't a good name -
-Because it is indeed two guardian angels fused together.
Suddenly, Tom had a flash of inspiration and thought of a word, which was very appropriate.
"A perfect match!" This phenomenon might as well be called a perfect match! Tom gave himself and Hermione a new name for their Patronus Charm.
As for his Patronus becoming Hermione's Patronus, he figured out the reason: his Patronus is most likely a Boggart, which can imitate and transform into the appearance of other people's Patronus. There is no other.
Patronus, it will maintain the appearance of mist... A very unique patronus, boys are fickle...
Just when he was thinking wildly, the bathroom door opened, and a scent of water vapor filled the air, followed by the sound of heels tapping gently on the floor.
Hermione emerged from the bathroom wearing the new clothes she had found.
"Does my outfit look good?"
It's great! Tom answered with his own eyes.
Hermione wore a black short-sleeved dress with puff sleeves at the cuffs, giving it a gorgeous feel. The women's leather shoes on her feet were replaced by a pair of black flat boots, without extra decorations, bulges, or messy shoelaces.
The clothes were made very sparingly, leaving a large area of fair skin exposed. She also wore a pair of cat ears on top of her head. The fluffy black cat ears gave Hermione a bit of a cute temperament.
Hermione looks like a black and white kitten with white front paws and black back paws, slender but not weak, proud but not arrogant.
She walked step by step to Tom's bed and bent down to look at him.
"It seems you've warmed up?" Tom moved his eyes away and moved to the side, leaving a space for Hermione.
"Yeah," Hermione hummed, nuzzling Tom's chest with her head like a cat before throwing herself on the bed and sinking into the soft quilt.
"It's time to go to bed~" Hermione also tried to jump, causing a fragrant breeze.
"Hey! At least take off your shoes before going to bed!" Seeing that Hermione actually went to bed with her shoes on, Tom protested, and then he saw Hermione shrinking into the quilt that belonged to her, with only one head exposed.
There was a rustling sound, and the dress and boots were thrown out.
Hermione wrapped herself tightly in the quilt, twisted twice, and changed her position so that she and Tom were lying face to face. She looked at Tom's lips, her mouth was slightly open, and she bit her lower lip gently, eyes
It seems to be filled with a pool of autumn water.
At this time, their faces were very close, almost touching. Tom could even feel Hermione's hot breath. He felt his heartbeat speeding up and his blood rushing.
"Your skin is so good..." She said in a very soft voice, and then took the initiative to kiss the corner of Tom's mouth.
"You are really the most beautiful girl in Hogwarts." Tom took a deep breath and tried his best not to respond to Hermione. Instead, he stretched out a finger and touched her forehead, pushing her away a little. "
Go to bed quickly! You are tired enough today."
He wanted to retract his hand back to the bed, but Hermione grabbed it. He twitched but didn't move. He looked at Hermione, but found that the girl seemed to have fallen asleep, so he let Hermione grab his hand.
Hand in hand, we held hands together and fell asleep face to face.
The candles in the room also went out automatically, leaving only the charcoal in the fireplace still emitting a faint light. The whole room was gradually shrouded in darkness.
However, the silence in the Room of Requirement does not mean that other places are so quiet. Dumbledore's office was very lively.
"Absurd!" Professor McGonagall punched the table, causing a small silver cup on the table to fly up a little.
"The dementors just walked into Hogwarts in a big way - if my eyes weren't still there, I would have thought I was sent to the public toilet of the Three Broomsticks pub by a portkey!" Professor McGonagall looked like
Dumbledore raised a hand to signal her to calm down for a moment, "I know that Cornelius wants to give us an answer."
Sparks of anger were flickering behind his crescent-shaped lenses.
"Is Harry okay?" he asked suddenly.
"Still alive." Snape in the corner gave the answer.
"He is recuperating in the campus hospital, and his teammates are accompanying him." Professor McGonagall added, "But his broom lost control and seemed to have drifted into the Forbidden Forest and hit the Whomping Willow. Pomona
I went to get it... maybe Filius can fix it..."
"Poor kid," Dumbledore shook his head, "it will take him some time to accept all this."
"The Potter thing is irrelevant. The little couple's patron saint is much more interesting than the sad story of little Potter." Snape didn't want to hear any more news from Harry after he knew that Harry's life was in danger. He was even more interested now.
Concerned about the two magical patron saints I just saw.
This sentence and his attitude made Professor McGonagall a little annoyed, but she also needed to admit that the performance of Yodel and Granger on the court just now was indeed worthy of their discussion.
"Generally speaking, Patronus does not take the form of magical animals," Snape said slowly, "But just now, it was obvious that Mr. Yoder and Miss Granger summoned the exact same three-headed dog Patronus.
And their patron saints are also fused, which is unusual."
Dumbledore did not rush to answer, but fell into thinking.
…
Early the next morning, several pieces of clothing were thrown on Hermione, waking her up.
"Everything is washed. You can quickly put it on. Let's go down and have breakfast." Tom found a mirror and said to Hermione who was still lying in bed while combing his hair.
"Hey! These are my underwear-"
“There is a washing machine in the bathroom!”
"You actually washed your socks and underwear together?!" Hermione looked shocked.
Tom:?
Is there any difference? Aren’t they all grunting, banging, banging, and then the clothes are washed all at once? Why do you have to wash underwear and outerwear separately?
Hermione was a little angry, but fortunately these clothes were all dark. She comforted herself in this way.
"You're not going out wearing them, are you?" Tom asked, looking at the "little wildcat" outfit.
"why not?"
"Of course not!" The only person who can see this outfit is me!
"The spice box has become a sperm..." Hermione muttered and pushed Tom into the bathroom, then closed the door and didn't let him out until she had changed her clothes.
"Let's go, let's eat!"
A door suddenly appeared in the corridor. After the door opened, two figures jumped out from behind the door sneakily and walked towards the auditorium.
The people who came out were none other than Tom and Hermione.
