#151 - Janus Sidge Ward

Augusta, who had prepared dinner, smiled with relief when she saw the two getting along so well and quickly called them over to eat. →ReadМ

After dinner, Anduin played with little Neville for a while, and after Neville was tired, he personally carried Neville to bed before returning to his room.

In the following days, Anduin lived such a peaceful life, helping Augusta with chores every day and playing with little Neville, living a comfortable life.

But after a few days, Augusta came to him.

"I'm going to see Frank and Alice tomorrow, you come with me, you haven't seen them for a long time." Augusta said.

"Okay." Since settling down, Anduin had wanted to suggest to Augusta to visit the two, but he was worried about her feelings and was a little hesitant. Now that Augusta brought it up first, Anduin naturally agreed immediately.

Then Anduin seemed to remember something again and said, "What about Neville, should we bring him, wouldn't that be..."

Augusta knew what Anduin meant and explained, "My nephew Algy will come over tomorrow, he is Frank's cousin and Neville's uncle, he will take care of Neville for us. It's too early for Neville to know about this now. →"

Seeing that Augusta had already made arrangements, Anduin nodded in relief.

The next day, after Augusta and Anduin packed their bags, they arrived at St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries.

The Longbottoms were placed in the Janus Thickey Ward on the fifth floor of the hospital. It is said that this strange name was to commemorate Janus Thickey, who faked his death in 1973 by pretending to be eaten by a Voldemort, and only patients with permanent magical damage to the brain would be placed here.

This ward was a closed ward, and the door was usually locked. Today was no exception. Augusta skillfully found Healer Miriam Strout, who was in charge of the ward, and asked her to open the door for them.

"Frank and Alice have been very stable and well-behaved recently." Healer Strout said as she opened the door.

Well-behaved? Anduin looked at the kind-faced healer and felt that her words were very special. It wasn't until he saw the two that Anduin understood why the healer used well-behaved to describe them.

Frank and Alice looked very different from before. A few strands of white hair appeared on their heads, and their eyes were dull, lacking their usual energy.

"Candy, I want candy." Frank saw someone coming in and quickly reached out to ask for it.

"Okay, good, I'll give you Fizzing Whizbees today." Healer Strout skillfully took out a few candies from her pocket and coaxed Frank.

Alice, who was next to him, glanced at everyone and then turned her head to look out the window, counting the passers-by.

After the healer's child-like comfort, Frank finally calmed down, then nodded to Augusta and Anduin and turned to leave the ward.

Augusta looked at Anduin, nodded to him, then skillfully stepped forward and took Frank's hand and said a few words, then told him to eat less candy like a child, and checked their daily necessities, sheets, and clothes again, although the hospital's nurses took good care of them, she, as a mother, still habitually checked them over and over again.

Anduin also came to the two of them and said a few words to them, but neither Frank nor Alice responded. One was like a child who only knew how to ask for candy, and the other stared blankly out the window.

"Mrs. Longbottom, I have something I want to ask for your permission." Anduin hesitated and said to Augusta.

"Why are you being so polite with me? Just say what you have to say." Augusta replied while combing Alice's hair.

"I want to check their memories. I know it may be difficult, but I still want to try to cure them."

"Alas." Augusta sighed, "I know your good intentions, but when they first had the accident, Dumbledore personally checked them, and even he couldn't do anything. I don't think you need to waste your time in vain."

"I know my abilities are limited now, but I'm still young. Some things that I can't do now don't mean I can't do them in the future, and..." Anduin paused, "I promised Neville that I would bring his parents back."

Seeing Anduin's persistence, Augusta fell into deep thought, and after a while, she nodded.

Maybe this young man will have a way, she may also be holding a glimmer of hope in her heart.

Having obtained Augusta's permission, Anduin nodded and walked to Frank and said, "Frank, I'm Anduin. I may offend you a little next."

Then Anduin held Frank's slightly confused face and activated 'Legilimency'.

He was very careful when using this magic. His thoughts did not rush into his mind violently, but slowly delved into and explored Frank's thoughts.

But in his unique magical perspective, all the memory fragments would turn into individual or a series of memory bubbles, and fragmented memories would float like fragments, and Frank's mind was like a fragmented ruin. Occasionally, some fragmented memory fragments would appear in his field of vision, but they could not unfold complete memory fragments.

Since Anduin used 'Legilimency', his expression became more and more solemn, the root cause was that Frank's thinking was too strange.

It's not to say that Frank's memory is too fragmented or chaotic. If that were the case, as long as he was willing to spend time, he could still piece it together bit by bit.

The strangest thing about Frank's thinking is that there are too few memories!

A normal person's thinking space is like a village, with some houses that are either tall or short, more or less. Even if this village is destroyed, there must be some ruins on it.

But in Frank's thinking space, although you can occasionally see some ruin-like memory fragments, they are too rare compared to ordinary people.

"It seems that the problem is deeper?" Anduin thought.

Then Anduin controlled the magical vision to explore deeper into Frank's thinking space. As he went deeper, the frequency of memory fragments finally increased.

In this thinking space where there is no way to identify the direction, Anduin saw the memory fragments as if he saw a lighthouse, and gradually moved forward in the direction with more memory fragments during the continuous exploration.

Finally, after a long period of exploration, Anduin found the problem, but the scene that appeared in his magical vision was too shocking.
