Chapter 506 St Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries
·
Nian Gao Pei Ma Tuan
The day before Christmas was the day Tonks was discharged from the hospital.
At the strong request of Harry and others, Moody reluctantly agreed to go to St. Mungo's to pick her up with them, provided that the number of guards was doubled.
In order not to cause trouble to everyone, Morgana chose to stay at home; Fred and George disappeared early in the morning and probably went to Diagon Alley to purchase raw materials.
Mundungus, who was forcibly pulled away, muttered all the way that it was delaying a big business deal for him.
The London Underground only closes on Christmas Day, but not many people want to go out at this time, so the subway stations and carriages seem quite empty.
"Is this the subway?" Mr. Weasley looked around curiously, pointing to the middle of the aisle and asked, "What are these standing iron bars?"
"The armrests," Harry explained patiently, "If there are not enough seats, Muggles will stand in the carriage and hold on to these armrests to stay stable."
Mundungus said with disdain: "You have to travel standing up on such a slow means of transportation?"
The phoenix-eyed man raised his head and glared at him, ignoring his complaints.
The subway arrived soon. They took the elevator back to the ground, walked through two streets with few vehicles, and came to the front of a decaying and deserted department store that looked like it had been abandoned for a long time.
This is an old-fashioned red brick building. The words "Taotao..." and "Company..." can be vaguely seen on the peeling gold paint signboard at the entrance.
"The dummy in the green skirt...is this window." Moody said, controlling the magic eye to look around 360 degrees, and then asked everyone to go through the window one by one.
As the holidays approach, even hospitals are decked out, with carefully decorated Christmas trees everywhere in the waiting room.
There were not many patients today. There were a few people sitting on the benches along the wall. A therapist in a green robe was asking about their condition. They all wore medals with a cross made of wands and bones.
"Don't wander around."
Mr. Weasley gave instructions and walked towards the information desk, leaving Mad-Eye and the others to guard them.
"Look at that portrait, Glenn," Harry said, looking around.
Glenn followed his gaze and saw that it was Delis Derwent, one of the old headmistresses of Hogwarts and a former therapist here. She was the one who sent the news that night that Tonks had been sent to St. News from Mungo.
Mr. Weasley returned soon and took them to the Biological Injury Department on the second floor and found Tonks' ward.
"Hey! You're here!" Seeing a few people coming in, Tonks jumped out of bed happily and stretched.
Sirius's only favorite cousin, Andromeda, smiled at them and nodded, and said to Mad-Eye: "Ted is already completing the formalities, and we can leave soon."
She pulled out her wand and waved it lightly. The unpacked items in the cabinet and on the table jumped up and fell neatly into the box.
"See, Harry, I didn't lie to you, did I?" Tonks looked at Harry and said, "My mother is much better at household magic than I am!"
"Yes!" Harry exclaimed, "If I had this level of skill, I wouldn't waste so much time every time I pack my luggage..."
"It's just that you've become more proficient," Andromeda Tonks smiled gently, "When you get to my age, you might be able to do better than me."
It can be seen that she is the typical kind of woman who is a good wife and mother.Qiu watched her tidy up the ward in order. Qiu was slightly in a trance, with a bit of yearning in her eyes.
"By the way, Harry!" Tonks suddenly became more serious, "I almost forgot something very important."
"What?" Harry looked confused, "Is it related to me?"
"Of course!" Tonks said without hesitation, "I want to thank you very formally."
Harry was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted and waved his hand: "You don't have to be like this... I just... I should do everything..."
He didn't seem to expect Tonks to be so serious suddenly, and was a little incoherent for a moment.
"You're welcome, Harry. I've heard what Mad-Eye said. If you hadn't told Dumbledore my news in time, I'm afraid I would..." She said, "That intern therapist named Augustus The teacher said that if I had been sent half an hour later, I would have definitely lost my life due to excessive blood loss, not to mention the terrible snake venom. You probably don’t know that the guards at the Ministry of Magic were there where I was attacked. ..”
"Tonks!" Mad-Eye interrupted suddenly, "there are some things Harry shouldn't know until Dumbledore gives him permission..."
Tonks was startled by him and quickly changed her words: "Anyway, Harry, thank you for saving my life."
"Okay, I accept your thanks..." Harry smiled at her, but he couldn't help but guess the secrets hidden in the Ministry of Magic.
At this time, a terrifying scream rang out without any warning from the bed next to the ward, which had the curtains drawn, and everyone was startled.
Soon, three therapists rushed in together. One of them noticed that there were so many people crowded here and politely asked them all to leave the ward.
Because the procedures have not been completed, Tonks cannot leave yet.
"Let's go somewhere else, maybe have a cup of tea or something." Hermione couldn't help but suggest as she listened to the heart-rending screams coming from inside.
This suggestion was quickly supported by Harry and Ron, and the three of them walked towards the sixth floor together.Mad-Eye winked, and Hestia Jones followed immediately.
"That man is so pitiful..." Tonks sat on the only chair at the door and said, "I don't know what he was bitten by. Ever since he was admitted to this ward, he has been suffering like this every day for a long time. It’s been two weeks.”
"Can't even the therapists do anything?" Qiu asked with a frown.
"I'm not sure," Tonks explained. "He kept the curtain closed, so I couldn't see the specific situation, but I heard from Smethyck's therapist that his condition can only recover slowly, and any treatment method They are all ineffective, and at most they can only help him relieve his pain."
After hearing what she said, Qiu nodded silently. She seemed to have a guess about the person's situation and did not continue to ask any more questions. It seemed that her judgment and that of the therapists were basically the same.
After about a few minutes, the screams gradually subsided, the therapists reopened the door, and Ted Tonks also returned at this time with the discharge permission.
Mad-Eye stretched his good leg, which was a bit stiff, and said, "Okay, Dedalus should have arranged the transportation. Let's go and call Harry and the others. It's time to go back to Diagon Alley." Already."
At the strong request of Harry and others, Moody reluctantly agreed to go to St. Mungo's to pick her up with them, provided that the number of guards was doubled.
