Chapter 18 Infirmary

"Is he... is he dead?" A girl asked in a low voice in horror.

The Ravenclaws who witnessed this scene suddenly had a great fear of flying lessons, especially Michael who had been talking non-stop before.

He looked at the figure lying in the grass with a pale face, and his voice was trembling: "Is... is it my fault?"

Wade patted his shoulder and comforted him, "It shouldn't be a big problem - he didn't hit the ground on his head when he fell."

Michael's throat rolled and he was speechless.

Fortunately, Mrs. Hooch immediately ran over to check and quickly helped Neville up from the grass. Thank God, the boy only had one wrist and looked a little strange. Mrs. Hooch helped him to the infirmary and shouted a warning. Other students are not allowed to move.

"Ve, Vader..." Michael pleaded: "Let's go see Neville."

Wade glanced at the other students standing blankly on the grass, nodded, and the two of them quickly ran through the corridor to the infirmary.

"——Flying lessons, right?" Through the door, they heard Madam Pomfrey, the school nurse, say with surprise: "At this time every year, there are always some accidents among the first-year students. I can't even think of it." Which year was peaceful—"

Wade gently opened the door, and Michael squeezed one head in first.

Neville was seen crying and sitting on the bed in the infirmary. Madam Pomfrey held his arm and gently shook the wand to check. The top of the wand was scattered with feather-like light.

"Then this student will be left to you." Mrs. Huo Qi said eagerly: "There are still more than twenty students on the lawn with unattended brooms! Alas, if it weren't for the lack of time, I should really ask Mr. Filch looks at them!"

Madam Pomfrey said, "Okay, I'll-"

Mrs. Huo Qi was obviously impatient. She turned around and left in a hurry after hearing "Okay". The door suddenly opened and Michael stumbled in.

Seeing the two students, Mrs. Huo Qi's eagle-like eyes immediately stood up, as if she was about to reprimand them. But then she noticed their blue and bronze ties, and her anger died down again.

Since they were not students who had sneaked out of her classroom, Mrs. Huo Qi had no time to care about them and walked away with wind on her feet.

"——Take good care of this child." The rest of Madam Pomfrey's words seemed like she was talking to herself. She gently comforted the crying Neville: "Don't worry, it's just a small problem. Let's take a look. It’ll be cured. I promise you won’t miss tonight’s dinner.”

Madam Pomfrey waved her wand and a potion flew from the shelf. She let Neville drink, then pointed her wand at his arm and whispered a spell.

As if in the blink of an eye, the boy's broken wrist was reattached. Judging from his expression, Neville didn't even feel much pain.

Vader watched in amazement.

"What about you, children?" Madam Pomfrey turned to look at the two people at the door and asked, "Are you injured? Are you sick? Or are you hungry?"

Michael pursed his lips and said nothing.

Vader had no choice but to say: "Mrs. Pomfrey, let's come see Neville."

"Oh, come to visit a friend!" Madam Pomfrey was a little happy when she heard this and said, "Mr. Longbottom just needs to rest for a while. After the bones are fully grown, he can go back with you."

"Thank you, ma'am," Vader said, and Neville also thanked him.

After Madam Pomfrey left, Vader asked: "How are you, Neville? Does your wrist still hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt much anymore." Neville shook his head and lifted up his robe. You could see that the wound on his leg was healing quickly: "Look, it's almost healed here. Madam Pomfrey's healing skills are really powerful. , that’s probably what happened with St. Mungo’s.”

"St. Mungo's?"

"The largest magic hospital in Britain, the best healers are there." Neville said.

Michael walked over slowly and whispered: "Neville."

The boy looked up at him.

Michael lowered his head in shame: "I'm sorry, I lied. I have never ridden a broomstick before. The trick I told you was also heard from the radio. I myself - I actually have no experience myself - "

Neville blinked.

"I know!" he said.

"Huh?" Michael's eyes widened in surprise.

Neville explained: "Hermione said you wouldn't be so excited about flying lessons if you were used to riding a broomstick."

Michael's face turned red--did everyone see his frivolous talk?

"But Hermione also said -" Neville added: "What you said is correct - it is also written in the book. But after all, flying is not a skill that can be mastered only by knowing the theory, right?"

I don't know why, Michael suddenly wanted to cry.

Wade looked at this scene with a smile.

Originally, when he looked at these classmates, he felt somewhat like "taking care of children". But at this moment, Wade felt... maybe they could really become good friends.

…

Although Madam Pomfrey healed Neville's wrist easily, it still took a while to wait for the bone to heal. Because of guilt, Michael was unwilling to leave Neville alone in the infirmary and insisted on waiting until he was fully recovered before going to have dinner together. On the way, the stairs changed direction again, causing several people to walk twice as long as usual before returning to the auditorium.

In short, when they returned, the last dessert on the long table also disappeared.

"Oh, bad." Michael said with a bitter face: "I should have some candy in my dormitory-"

"Hi, Michael, Neville, Wade." Theo and Ryan came over. The two of them have been friends since childhood, and they are almost inseparable like conjoined twins after going to school.

"We heard that Neville had an accident in the flying class." Theo looked at Neville with concern: "Are you okay?"

"Broken wrist-" Neville raised his arm to show him: "But Madam Pomfrey healed it in a moment."

"Great." Theo grabbed his arm and looked at it, and said happily.

"Have you had dinner?" Ryan asked: "We didn't see you just now."

"No!" Michael looked at the two pitifully, and asked expectantly: "Did you two leave us a piece of bread or something?"

"No-but it's better than that!" Theo pulled Michael out of the hall: "Come with us!"

"Where are we going?" Neville asked confusedly.

"You'll see it soon! This is a secret that only Hufflepuff students know! A senior student told us the day before yesterday." Theo said excitedly.

"I dare say that nothing can be hidden from the Weasley twins." Michael said to Wade, and Wade nodded in agreement.

They passed through a door and walked down a stone staircase to a wide stone corridor. The torches on the walls on both sides illuminated the corridor. There were many decorative paintings on the walls like other places in the castle, but there were few people in the paintings, all of them were various delicacies.

Theo stopped in front of a huge fruit painting, reached out his hand, and gently scratched the pear in the painting.
