However, he didn't have the strong curiosity to explore this and planned to go back to the dormitory to pack his luggage.
When passing the path in front of the castle, he was blocked by Hagrid who was catching up in a hurry.
"Joel!" His leather robe was stained with bright red blood, and he looked panicked, "Hurry and find Madam Pomfrey and come to my hut!"
"You come too, that tiger is seriously injured!" After Hagrid said these words, he hurried back to the hut.
Joel panicked, and hurried up the steps in twos and twos, rushing to the medical room.
Carrying the medical kit and grabbing Madam Pomfrey, they hurried to Hagrid's hunting lodge.
There was sticky blood all over here. The hound Fangya was circling anxiously in the room. In the middle of the room, Hagrid squatted down to stop the bleeding of Tom the tiger lying there.
Joel got closer and saw a large opening on Tom's soft abdomen, and the blood flowing out around the wound turned purple, looking like he had been poisoned.
Its originally clear, heterochromatic pupils were turbid and difficult to distinguish, its breathing became louder, and every breath touched the wound, causing its body to tremble violently.
"This is..." Madam Pomfrey has not treated this kind of injury for many years.
Hagrid, who is proficient in magical zoology, can quickly determine the cause, "This is a wound caused by the poisonous leopard in the mountains of the Forbidden Forest. It is full of poison."
"The poison leopard?" Madam Pomfrey was very surprised, "Don't they live in the distant mountains? How can this tiger escape after being injured by the poison leopard?"
While talking, she opened the medical kit and took out the antidote.
The poisonous leopard is one of the most dangerous creatures in the wild. The poison contained in its body is very deadly. Most animals injured by the poison will be poisoned and die after being unable to run more than a hundred yards.
Madam Pomfrey did not dare to neglect the wounds caused by this creature. Ordinary antidotes did not work, so she had to add several other drugs.
Fortunately, the medical kit is fully equipped and it doesn't take long to prepare medicines on site.
Joel knelt down and gently patted Tiger Tom's big head.
Tom slowly moved his huge head, and the moment his eyes touched Joel, it let out a soft whimper.
"Are you running there looking for death?" Joel said softly.
Tom's snoring became irritated, and he bared his teeth at Joel, revealing traces of blood stained on his sharp teeth, and two pieces of flesh hanging on them. It looked extremely bloody when viewed up close.
"You mean you didn't suffer a loss?" Joel thought for a moment and understood its meaning.
Tiger Tom roared proudly, but soon he lost his pride. Miss Pomfrey directly applied the ointment to Tom's wound, causing it to tremble all over.
After applying the snow-white ointment all over her body, Madam Pomfrey used her wand to cast a healing spell.
The holy white light covered the tiger's wounds. It narrowed its eyes in comfort and roared softly.
This treatment took an entire afternoon, and it was not until the evening that Tom's wound gradually healed, the blood around the wound turned into normal bright red, and the heterochromatic pupils became clear again.
Madam Pomfrey breathed a sigh of relief and bandaged Tom's wound with a white bandage.
"After a week, you come back to Hagrid's hut and I will take off the bandage for you." Madam Pomfrey rubbed Tom's head vigorously, in exchange for Tom's affectionate rubbing.
It got up from the ground, lowered its head to look at its tightly bandaged wounds, and grinned with satisfaction.
Tom opened his mouth and gently grabbed Joel's trouser leg, dragging him out the door.
"Ah..." Joel was at a loss.
No one at Hogwarts knows magical animals better than Hagrid. He looked at the posture of Tom the Tiger and laughed loudly and said: "Don't worry Joel, he likes you very much."
Does he still need to say this?
Joel has completed the task and has already gained Tom's trust. Of course, this big man will not harm him.
It was now dusk in Hogwarts, and Joel looked at the darkening scenery around him. After all, he still couldn't defeat Tom and followed him to the Forbidden Forest.
The Forbidden Forest was much more lively in the evening than in the morning. Joel once again cast the Disillusionment Curse and watched a group of birds and animals showing off their magical powers, performing the most primitive law of the jungle.
A huge wild boar pounced on three squirrels and bit them. Two or three werewolves rushed from the other side. Their ferocious gazes directly persuaded the lonely wild boar to retreat and forced them to share the food.
But these werewolves were not satisfied yet. They transformed into giant wolf forms and used their powerful explosive power to knock the wild boar to the ground. After a few wails, the wild boar lay on the ground and turned into a delicious meal.
Scenes like this happened in every corner of the Forbidden Forest. The mantis stalking the cicada and the oriole behind it happened countless times.
Tom didn't seem to care about these problems, swaying his tail and walking in the Forbidden Forest.
No matter how powerful the predators are, leopards, werewolves, wild boars...the moment they see Tom, they all choose to bow their heads slightly to show submission.
It also turned around to show off to Joel from time to time. The forbidden forest under the distant mountains seemed to have become its territory.
Tom didn't bother to eat the dead animals offered by these animals, so he shook his head and led Joel deeper.
When Joel stood in front of Tom's cave, it was completely dark.
Continuing up the hillside near the cave, you will reach the bottom of the distant mountain, where the Poisonous Leopard belongs.
Tom looked at the fog spreading faintly on the hillside, baring his teeth in a threatening manner, and a faint roar came from his throat.
"Don't be nervous..." Joel could feel the uneasiness in its roar and quickly reached out to gently stroke its head.
Tom glared at the distant mountains twice more with hatred, then turned back and growled softly at Joel.
It takes Joel to his cave.
The place was much neater than before. All the bones of small animals were gone. They must have been cleaned up. Joel found that he could no longer smell the fishy smell of Tom the Tiger.
According to common sense, the fishy smell on the tiger's body should be quite strong, but why does Tom...
He leaned down and sniffed, making sure that there was not even a trace of smell on Tom.
When Tom saw Joel discovering this little secret, he swung his tail excitedly and looked proud.
It stretched out its front paws and pointed at the top of its head, then bared its teeth and let out a low growl.
"You want to take away the territory of those poisonous leopards?" Joel felt that there was some kind of close connection between himself and Tiger Tom, which allowed him to easily figure out the intention of Tom's actions.
The same was true for Tiger Tom. He stood upright and was a bit taller than Joel. A sharp light erupted in his heterochromatic pupils. Joel didn't know if it was his imagination, but the cold light on Tom's sharp claws was even brighter than before.
It jumped out of the cave, raised its head and let out a roar that shook the forest.
In the distant mountains, there is a roaring sound.
