Drink Black Tea Calmly at Hogwarts
Chapter 649: It usually rains heavily after a fierce battle
Although the Death Eaters' attack was repelled, Hogsmeade also paid a heavy price.
More than half of the buildings in Hogsmeade, including Mrs. Puddieffe's Teahouse and the Owl Post Office, were completely destroyed. A large number of residents, including Mrs. Puddieffe, were seriously injured. The number of victims is still being counted.
The Owl Post Office was directly hit by a boulder, and the owls inside suffered heavy losses.
If you look down from the air at this moment, the situation of the entire Hogsmeade is similar to that of a city that was bombed after World War II.
Fortunately, a heavy downpour arrived in time, and the heavy rain curbed the spread of the fire. After destroying the stone men, the wizards quickly put out the fire, and then all went into intense rescue work.
:"Meow meow meow!"
Jiang stood on the edge of the third floor of a half-collapsed house and roared at Zhang Xu downstairs.
I don’t know how Hu De raised Ginger and Fish Cake. They are now performing very well in the search and rescue of cats, so Zhang Xu borrowed Ginger and joined them in the search and rescue work.
After receiving the signal, Zhang Xu quickly arrived on the third floor. Judging from the pink decorations hanging on the remaining walls and the small desk beside the wall, it was a child's room. The ceiling above the room has collapsed, crushing the entire room.
After feeding Jiang a small dried fish and letting him go to the ruins next door, Zhang Xu transformed into Zhang Panda, and then threw the broken beams and broken tiles downstairs where it was confirmed that no one was there.
The collapsed roof did not crush anyone, and there was only a sturdy wooden bed underneath.
Opening the wooden bed, a young mother was hiding underneath with her about three-year-old daughter in her arms.
There was no shelter above, and the pouring rain quickly soaked the wife, who was only wearing pajamas, and the little girl in her arms. The cold rain made them shiver.
"The coat is flying!"
The two coats in the ruins downstairs immediately flew to Zhang Xu's hands.
"Clean!"
"Waterproof and moisture-proof!"
After using magic spells to dry the two coats and make them into temporary raincoats, Zhang Xu put them on his wife and Loli, and then used magic spells to dry the rainwater on them.
"Madam, are you and the child feeling uncomfortable?" Zhang Xu asked.
The lady seemed to have not recovered from the huge blow, and just shook her head blankly.
Zhang Xu brought the mother and daughter to the ground, and then shouted to the side: "Luna, come here and take this wife and her daughter to the resettlement site!"
Luna, who was searching for survivors with Jiang next door, hurriedly ran over, helped to pick up the shivering little Loli with one hand, and held her wife with the other hand as she walked towards the resettlement site for the victims outside the village.
After sending the mother and daughter away, Zhang Xu wiped the water on his face that was either sweat or rain, and then breathed a sigh of relief. They were the last survivors in this neighborhood.
After the Hogsmeade tragedy, Professor McGonagall immediately ordered the sixth and seventh grade students at Hogwarts to come and join the rescue operation with tents and sleeping bags reserved by the school.
Harry Potter, the special protected animal at Hogwarts, has already been stuffed into the secret room and is strictly guarded by several professors.
A tent has been erected in the open space in Hogsmeade towards Hogwarts. The flag of St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Maladies is hanging on the flagpole in the middle of the tent area. The flag is drooping and drooping due to the rain. The ground drooped at the top of the flagpole.
The settlement site was built on a temporary earthen platform that was built with magic and was nearly one meter higher than the surrounding ground. Rainwater flowed along the drainage ditch on the earthen platform to the surrounding ground, preventing water from pouring back into the tent.
As soon as Luna took her mother and daughter to the earth platform, Hannah hurried over and picked them up.
Hannah brought the mother and daughter into a warm tent. The rain made the tent crackle, but the tent was as warm as spring and there was no moisture at all.
Two St. Mungo's medical doctors who came to support were doing a simple bandage on the first casualty who had only suffered minor injuries. The mother and daughter were sitting in line on the chairs nearby.
After the medical doctor performed a simple examination on the mother and daughter and found that they were not injured except for some colds, and gave each of them a bottle of medicine to treat colds, Hannah took the mother and daughter to another room with a large space inside. inside the tent.
This tent was used to house the victims. Several families of female victims had already come inside. Most of the adults among them were sitting at the table in the middle of the tent in silence. They were all obviously in shock, and the children were already nearby. fell asleep in his sleeping bag.
There was hot firewood burning in the fire pit in the center of the tent. The firewood not only increased the temperature in the tent, but also had a steaming kettle hanging on it.
After seeing the newcomers coming in, Ginny picked up the kettle and poured a cup of hot milk for each of the mother and daughter.
When Hannah was about to return to the medical staff's tent at St. Mungo's Hospital, she saw several people rushing towards Hogwarts carrying a stretcher.
Those were the seriously injured people who were being transferred to Hogwarts, where they would receive further treatment from other healers in the castle.
After sending the people to the resettlement site, Luna returned to the same neighborhood. She saw Zhang Xu squatting beside the ruins and working carefully, so she walked over.
One of the victims unfortunately failed to run out of the house when the boulder fell. At this time, Zhang Xu was peeling the crushed and burned body out of the ruins as completely as possible, and then put it away in the In the body bag that had been prepared.
After hearing footsteps approaching, Zhang Xu turned around and saw Luna coming. He made a driving gesture toward Luna, and then asked her to go back to the settlement to help. The next job of collecting the remains of the victims was not suitable for a young girl like her, so Zhang Xu asked her to leave.
In the back garden of a ruined house, a hole made by a stone man in the dirt filled with standing water again.
At this time, the rain that had fallen all night had stopped, and the water in the pit slowly returned after being drained away.
Zhang Xu sat on the ruins not far away, lit a cigarette and looked at the sky that was starting to light up in the east.
The two bodies he had buried in the footprints pit just now were the last remains of victims found in Hogsmeade. They were an unfortunate father and his child.
Zhang Xu thought of many ways, but in the end he still couldn't separate the two of them.
At this time, a person sat next to Zhang Xu. Zhang Xu turned his head and took a look. The person coming was Helen, the owner of the house. When Zhang Xu first came to Hogwarts, she was in seventh grade, and they were just acquaintances in Ravenclaw House. Not long after she graduated in the second year, she married her boyfriend, who was two years older than her. She now works at "Wizard Weekly", and her overtime work last night allowed her to escape, but her husband and child were unfortunately killed.
Helen's trembling hand reached for the cigarette case in Zhang Xu's hand, and she tried several times but could not pull out the cigarettes inside.
Zhang Xu helped her take out a cigarette, lit it and put it between the index and middle fingers of her left hand.
She just took a deep breath, and then sat there motionless, letting the white cigarette in her hand turn into a long ash.
"Thank you for bringing them..." Helen stopped mid-sentence.
"My condolences." Zhang Xu said softly.
Helen sat there and cried silently, tears dripping from her chin like a faucet that turned on a water valve.
Today, sadness and tears enveloped the entire Hogsmeade.
