Chapter 279 Time to wake up from the dream

The Christmas holiday passed quickly, and after the tense midterm exams, the little wizards returned to their busy study life.

Neville worked even harder on practicing the Patronus Charm. He would come to Sebastian's office almost every day after dinner to practice with Scabbers.

Sebastian naturally liked such a hardworking student, so he guided him very seriously.

In this way, one is willing to teach and the other is willing to learn. Although both of them are very tired, they are quite satisfied and happy.

However, human joys and sorrows are not shared. Life will not be so easy if there is a person or a mouse in the office.

Faced with the combination of Sebastian's Cruciatus Curse and Oblivion Curse, although Banban didn't remember what happened, the pain in his soul could not be faked.

As time went by, even though she was under the spell of forgetfulness, Banban would tremble uncontrollably every time she saw Sebastian.

Fortunately, Neville was quite hardworking and did not waste Sebastian's painstaking training, nor did he waste the "sacrifice" made by Banban.

His progress was remarkable, from initially being completely helpless against the rift in his soul to gradually beginning to repair it, with new breakthroughs being made every day.

By the end of February, Neville was able to steadily repair the cracks in Scabbers' soul.

Seeing this progress, Sebastian decided to take Neville to St. Mungo's every Saturday and Sunday for clinical treatment of his parents.

At first, the healers at St. Mungo's did not believe that Neville, a third-year student, could do what they could not accomplish.

Neville's grandmother was also worried that he would aggravate his parents' injuries by his clumsy actions.

So Sebastian personally asked Dean Bolton to come forward and explained his treatment philosophy in front of everyone.

After witnessing Neville's powerful patronus, Dean Bolton and the therapist in charge of Neville's parents agreed to let Neville treat his parents himself, provided that Sebastian must be there to provide safety control.

In this way, the days passed one by one, and time unknowingly came to April 2nd, Saturday.

After breakfast, Sebastian brought Neville to St. Mungo's again. When they arrived, old lady Longbottom was already waiting at the door of the ward.

"Professor Swan, thank you for your help again," said Mrs. Longbottom with a smile of gratitude. "I see that Alice and Frank are looking much better, which shows that your treatment is effective."

"To be honest, I always thought that this was the end of Alice and the others' lives. After all, there has never been a precedent in the magic world where someone's soul was extremely broken and they were successfully treated."

"You gave me, an old woman, hope. When I think of Alice and the others getting better, I feel that life is full of hope."

"Ma'am," Sebastian said gently, "I can't heal them alone."

"This is all thanks to Neville. You should praise him more."

While Sebastian and old Madam Longbottom were greeting each other at the door of the ward, Neville had already tidied up the ward with ease.

"Mom and Dad, the sun is shining brightly today. I'll open the window for a while to let in some fresh air. The professor said that breathing fresh air is good for the body."

The ward was very quiet, with only Neville speaking softly to his parents.

Neville's parents were sitting on the hospital bed. Although their eyes were still dull, after hearing Neville's words, they could instinctively look at Neville, instead of having no reaction to the outside world like before.

Looking at his quiet parents, Neville took out a bunch of flowers from the bag he carried with him.

"These are the flowers I bought for you in Hogsmeade. The professor said that the fragrance of flowers can keep people in a good mood."

Neville put the flowers in a vase and placed it on the small table between the two beds, then sat next to his mother, holding her hand and telling her interesting things at school.

"I didn't spend the money recklessly. This money is all earned from my work as an assistant teacher of herbal medicine. When you are discharged from the hospital, I will buy you a big cake in person."

"My good friend Ron participated in the International Wizarding Chess Tournament and won the bronze medal."

"His parents were so happy that they took Ron and his family to have a meal together in Hogsmeade. Ron was so proud of himself that his tail was up to the sky recently."

"As his friend, I was also invited," Neville said with a look of longing, "Looking at how happy their whole family is, I am really envious."

"Of course, I believe you will get better soon. When you get better, I will treat you to a good meal in the new city of Hogsmeade."

“I have saved a lot of money now.”

Neville patiently narrated the daily trivialities to his parents.

He heard from the professor that although his parents could not respond, they could hear it, which would have a positive impact on their souls.

After talking about recent interesting events, Neville took out his wand and started today's treatment.

Seeing this scene, Sebastian, who was standing outside the ward door, walked in and stood beside Neville, carefully sensing Neville's treatment condition.

He found that after such a long period of treatment, Neville's parents' healing speed was steadily improving.

After most of the soul fragments are combined together, the remaining small fragments will involuntarily adhere to the large soul fragments.

Now the souls of both of them seem to be much more complete.

Of course, since Frank suffered the most and was most seriously injured, his healing speed was much slower than Neville's mother Alice.

According to Sebastian's judgment, Alice will soon regain her consciousness and get rid of her confused state.

Suddenly, Sebastian's eyes focused and he noticed that Alice's fingers twitched slightly.

This kind of twitching is like a person who has been sleeping for a long time and is stimulated by external factors and shows signs of waking up.

So fast? !

Sebastian quickly increased the intensity of his investigation and discovered that Alice's soul was completely intact except for the dense soul cracks.

It looks like Neville will be able to talk to his mother today.

Sebastian smiled, ready to witness the miracle.

Alice felt like she had a very long dream. She felt her soul wrapped in a warm feeling, which also included the loving call of a boy.

This feeling…is it my child?

She tried hard to wake up and answer the call.

Gradually, her empty eyes focused, and a boy with a round face appeared in her sight.

Instantly, strong emotions surged in her heart, and Alice used all her strength to weakly open her mouth and called Neville's nickname.

"Nar, is this my Nar?"
