The night is already very late, and St. Mungo's Hospital has ushered in a rare calm.
The patients in Janus Sitch's ward also went to sleep, and the therapist on duty also fell asleep.
The therapist was woken up and rubbed his sleepy eyes. He was a little panicked when he saw that it was Dumbledore standing in front of him. He became even more panicked when he saw the dean behind Dumbledore.
Dumbledore said kindly to the therapist: "Please help send Mr. and Mrs. Longbottom to the therapy room."
But the dean didn't look so kind. Although he didn't speak, his expression and eyes all revealed "salary deduction".
The therapist quickly brought the two patients to the treatment room next to the ward. She wanted to stay and see how Dumbledore treated people, but she had to leave with the director and wait in the corridor.<
/p>
Dumbledore let the Longbottoms lie on the hospital bed and fell asleep again, and took out the blood-red magic stone and handed it to Angelina.
Angelina returned to her Veela form, and when she took the Philosopher's Stone, she said to Dumbledore: "It's best to tie them up and don't move around."
Then she held the Sorcerer's Stone in both hands and recited a strange spell. Charles saw Dumbledore's serious expression, and he probably couldn't understand the language.
The magic stone rose slightly from Angelina's hand, and a red light mist emitted, hovering around.
This mist of light came to the sky above the Longbottoms, forming a circular ring with complex patterns, and then shining red light on the two of them like a lamp.
The couple on the hospital bed were familiar with each other, but soon they suddenly started struggling violently.
Outside the treatment room, the director of St. Mungo's Hospital was reprimanding the therapist. He was embarrassed in front of Dumbledore, and the consequences were serious.
A heartbreaking scream suddenly came from behind the door, frightening the two people in the corridor.
In the treatment room, Dumbledore stood quietly by the wall, his face solemn.
Charles stood next to him, feeling a little nervous. He turned around and asked the principal in a low voice: "Professor, what do you think of this curse?"
It took a few minutes for Dumbledore to reply: "The spell is Veela's own language. We can't use such a spell. You can't see the changes unless you look carefully."
Charles was not too surprised. Although there is no reproductive isolation between Veela and humans, both sides have their own specialties.
But no matter how carefully he looked, he could only see a red halo shining red light on the Longbottoms, like a red light. There was no change in the spell.
But there are still some changes in the Longbottoms. They are struggling constantly. The pain is enough to wake people up, but their eyes gradually change from dead fish to sharks.
When it was getting dark, Mrs. Longbottom suddenly shouted in a hoarse voice: "Take Neville away quickly!"
Dumbledore was stunned for a moment, then a heartfelt smile appeared on his face, and his eyes were slightly moist.
A few minutes later, Mr. Longbottom began to curse Bellatrix Lestrange in the most vicious language in the world, and then began to curse Voldemort.
The janitor at St. Mungo's Hospital had just arrived at work and heard someone shouting Voldemort at the end of the corridor. She immediately literally crawled to the ground to report it to the Auror.
Not long after, he heard footsteps outside the treatment room. Dumbledore didn't know what it was, so he opened the door and walked out.
Soon he came in with an old lion-like man whom Charles now knew, Rufus Scrimgeour, the head of the Auror Office.
Scrimgeour looked at the scene, turned around and asked Dumbledore: "What is going on?"
Dumbledore said in a deep voice: "Rufus, you have to make an unbreakable vow with me before I can tell you."
Scrimgeour extended his right hand without hesitation.
After casting the spell, Dumbledore told him the causes and consequences, including the use of Nico Flamel's Philosopher's Stone.
Dumbledore added: "Although they have opened their eyes now, just like in a dream, memories keep coming back."
At this time, the Longbottoms stopped scolding Voldemort and the Death Eaters, and stopped struggling. Judging from the conversation, they seemed to be reminiscing about the past.
Not long after, Mr. Longbottom lay there and said mysteriously: "Dear, Scrimgeour didn't give me a salary increase today, so I secretly put MSG in his teapot..."
Scrimgeour had just finished hearing the cause and effect, and was about to thank Charles for calling the therapist. After hearing this, he obviously paused.
Charles and Dumbledore began to study the ceiling, holding back their laughter.
Near noon, the Longbottoms closed their eyes and started snoring.
Angelina stopped her magic and swayed, and Charles immediately went over to hold her arm.
"It doesn't matter." Angelina said to him after turning into human form, "I am younger than Dumbledore."
Then she returned the dark red magic stone to Dumbledore, and said a little tiredly: "The treatment process is very successful. Judging from past experience, it depends on them how far they can recover in the end."<
/p>
Dumbledore said to her with gratitude: "Thank you for everything, madam. If you need help in the future, please come to me."
Scrimgeour came over to thank the Longbottoms after checking on them. He saw Angelina's fatigue. Without saying much, he immediately went out and asked the director of St. Mungo's Hospital to arrange a place for meals and rest. The cost was
All paid for by the Auror Office.
The hospital has a single ward for rich people. The director immediately arranged a room for Angelina to rest, and the Longbottoms moved to the opposite side.
However, Angelina declined everyone's arrangement and said she could just go home and rest.
Today was Christmas Eve, and Dumbledore and the others couldn't keep anyone around, so Scrimgeour personally sent her to the Ministry of Magic to transfer to the fireplace of the French Ministry of Magic.
Charles also took the opportunity to see Angelina off. Not to mention that he was a little sleepy after staying up all night. The fact that the old man was being searched by Veela was enough to make him eager to go back and listen to the gossip.
After Angelina left, Scrimgeour said to Charles: "Mr. Smith, if there is anything I need help with, I will do my best to do whatever I can."
Scrimgeour was very grateful to Charles for inviting Angelina to cure the Longbottoms, but he was a little worried that Charles would make some excessive demands at a young age.
There was nothing Charles wanted to ask him for help with. He couldn't ask the current Auror Office Director to help him with his holiday homework. That was the job of the future Auror Office Director.
But he immediately thought of something and asked Scrimgeour: "Is it okay if I want my fireplace to be connected to the floo network?"
Scrimgeour asked him about his home, and then took him to the Floo Network Management Bureau on the sixth floor of the Ministry of Magic. There were personnel on duty monitoring the Floo Network there, and it was just a matter of words.
Charles asked him to help use the Ministry of Magic's owl to deliver a Christmas gift to Eleanor, and then borrowed the Floo powder here to return to No. 3 Privet Drive.
Jack was sitting on the sofa reading the newspaper. He didn't look surprised when he saw Charles walking out of the fireplace. There was already a burst of green flames when he connected to the floo network.
Charles just said: "Grandpa, I want to ask you something..."
As a result, Jack pretended to be calm and said to him: "Don't ask, I'll beat you up if you ask!"
Charles scratched his head. It seemed that the Veela matter was quite serious, so he changed the topic: "Is the fireplace matter... that serious?"
When Jack heard that it was a fireplace, he asked: "What's wrong with the fireplace?"
Charles said: "Now the fireplace at home is connected to the Floo network, which is very convenient, but I want to modify it and strengthen the protective measures."
Jack said it was okay, since there was no need for a fireplace at home.
