A day at Hogwarts

For wizards, long-distance travel is very convenient and extremely cheap.

Charles originally wanted to fly to England with Angelina on a broomstick, but Angelina opened the jar on the fireplace, which was half full of green Floo powder.

Naturally, the Floo network here is not connected to the UK. They first came to the Ministry of Magic in France, then to the Ministry of Magic in the UK through a special wall furnace, and finally to St. Mungo's Hospital. The whole process took less than half an hour.

St. Mungo's Hospital at night is not quiet. Patients are brought in from time to time. Some of their heads seem to be inflated and enlarged, some of them have tongues hanging down to their chests, and some have as many and long hairs as mammoths. As for Charles didn't recognize him as Seamus.

Angelina shook her head and said, "These patients all failed because of the mischief spell. There are always many such patients in the Magic Hospital around Christmas every year."

There were too many patients at this moment, there was a queue at the information desk, and the two waited in the lobby, not to delay the patients.

It was the first time for Charles to come here, and he observed this magical hospital curiously. He saw portraits of famous therapists and deans hanging on the wall, and there was also an oil painting of "King Arthur Blitz of Paris". The background crowd of the oil painting The film gave a lot of shots to the military doctor.

When there were no more patients coming in outside the door, the two went to the information desk to ask where the Longbottoms' ward was.

The staff at the inquiry desk looked at the two of them warily and asked, "Who are you from the patient?"

When Charles was thinking of an excuse, Angelina suddenly mentioned a name, and then mentioned the names of several people and the relationship between them, some of whom were named Longbottom.

The staff's eyes were a little blurred, obviously confused by Angelina, and they quickly said that the Longbottoms were in the Janus Sitch ward.

The Janus Sitch Ward is a ward for permanent spell damage, and patients here need some luck in addition to treatment to get better.

On the way to the ward, Angelina had a sly smile on her face, and said to Charles in a low voice: "I made it up just now, although I know the so-called 'Holy Twenty-Eight' in the UK, but they are not in my family." within the scope of the study."

Charles smiled helplessly, and then asked curiously, "Ma'am, what do you study?"

"History." Angelina said proudly, "I am a historian, and I used to be a professor of the history of magic at the Beauxbaton School of Witchcraft and Wizardry."

Then she said helplessly: "As a result, more than half of the professors in the school that year participated in the magic duel in pursuit of me, and the principal had no choice but to expel me."

Charles said with a smile: "I think, if I were a student at that time, I would also join the duel."

Angelina smiled and rubbed the child's head.

Charles asked curiously again: "Which period of history are you studying?"

Angelina replied: "King Arthur 1,500 years ago, and a mysterious wizard who appeared 500 years ago."

At this time, Janus Sitch arrived in the ward, and Charles didn't ask any other questions. Angelina went to the side office to fool the on-duty therapist, and led them to the Longbottom couple's bed.

The Longbottoms had already fallen asleep. Their faces were very thin, like living skeletons, and their hair was as white as Dumbledore.

Charles drew the drapes, and went outside with the therapist to inquire about the patient's condition.

Angelina transformed back into Veela form inside the curtain, her eyes turned blue-black, as deep as the night sky.

Five minutes later, Angelina and Charles left the ward.

"The situation is very bad." Angelina said with a frown, "Their souls are like... I don't know how to describe it... It should be like a teapot that fell to the ground, it is already full of cracks, but there is no Safe Broken."

Charles understood, it was like the windshield of a car. Although it was broken, it was still connected by a layer of explosion-proof film.

Angelina continued: "I saw the Philosopher's Stone when I was in Beauxbatons. If you want to completely heal them, you need to use up almost all the power in it. Considering that Nicole Flamel and his wife depend on it to maintain their lives, now it can only Heal one, wait until full of energy and then treat the other one, the waiting time will be very long."

Charles understood what she meant a little bit, but he didn't worry. Instead, he said, "Let's go to Professor Dumbledore. He is friends with His Excellency Nicole Flamel. He should have a way."

Angelina agreed with his approach.

The two came to the Three Broomsticks in Hogsmeade from St. Mungo's Hospital through Floo powder, and it was quite lively tonight.

Charles took Angelina to Hogwarts. On the way, he checked the caliber and said that everyone met by chance at Calais on the French side of the English-French Tunnel.

Fortunately, he said at the beginning that he flew over there after flying the broomstick to have fun, but he didn't say anything about the old man.

At this time Dumbledore had already put on his pajamas, had just finished his nightcap, and was about to clean his teeth with the Elder Wand when he heard a brass bell ringing.

Recently, Hogwarts has been invaded by outsiders many times. He has strengthened the school's defense and detection magic, and now there will be an early warning if non-Hogwarts personnel enter.

Charles and Angelina stopped by the bridge at the back entrance of Hogwarts, and a white halo appeared under Angelina's feet.

At this time Dumbledore appeared, and frowned when he saw Charles.

Charles immediately said to the principal: "Professor Dumbledore, I have something very important to tell you."

Dumbledore took the two to the headmaster's office, and when they passed by a secret passage, they almost scared to death Voldemort who was exploring inside.

In the principal's office, Charles and Angelina told what happened.

"Can you really cure the Longbottoms?" Dumbledore looked at Angelina in surprise, and then at Charles, thinking that Charles and Neville seemed to have a good relationship, maybe because he had heard about the family affairs.

Angelina said very confidently and proudly to the most recognized wizard in the world: "I can cure it. This is a curse inherited from Veeva. But the human soul is very powerful, and it takes a strong spirit to heal it. Magic power must rely on the power of the Philosopher's Stone."

Dumbledore asked again: "So, what kind of remuneration do I need to pay?"

When he thought about it, Charles shouldn't lose face so much, he couldn't make Angelina work for nothing, and he must pay for it himself.

Angelina thought for a while and said, "Charles' kindness made me decide to help this favor, so I didn't intend to ask for payment."

"However, I would like to ask you to inquire about a person who used to be a student at Hogwarts and used a 406 mm long phoenix core wand. I don't know if he is still alive."

Dumbledore was a little surprised when he heard the commission.

Charles was more surprised than Lao Deng. He was really surprised. Thinking of the old man letting him go home just now, he wondered if the old man had caused some trouble before.

At this time, no one noticed that the headmaster on the wall fell asleep at lightning speed.

Dumbledore obviously knew something, so he asked: "May I know what this gentleman has done?"

Angelina sneered and replied: "This liar, he agreed ninety years ago to help us Veela unravel the mystery left by the great mother-in-law. I got the benefits, but I didn't expect to leave without saying goodbye in the end."

Charles was surprised on the surface, but he was even more surprised than before. He didn't expect the old man to be such a person.

He didn't say anything at this time, and decided to go back and ask for clarification.

Dumbledore sat there contemplating for a long time, and after about ten minutes, he said to Angelina, "I can help you find out, but regarding the Sorcerer's Stone, I need you and Charles to make an unbreakable oath."

Charles agreed without hesitation, he understood that Dumbledore didn't want anyone to disrupt his plans for this year.

Angelina also said: "I don't feel your malice, and I agree to establish an unbreakable vow."
