Chapter 24: The Second Attack
Chapter 24: The Second Attack
Madam Pomfrey glared at him.
"I'm very happy that you came to the campus hospital, but I'm very unhappy that you didn't come to me directly!"
She held up the poor gloomy Harry's lifeless hand, which was as soft as a rubber.
"I can reattach the bones in a second—but to make them grow back—"
"Never again?" Cyrus asked. "It can't be hard again? I mean - bones."
"What else could it be?" Ron didn't quite understand.
"Of course, I will let it grow out, but it will be very painful. He will have to spend the night here." Madam Pomfrey said with a straight face, throwing Harry a set of pajamas and giving Cyrus a hard look. "You little girl, what are you thinking in your head..."
The curtains around Harry's bed were closed, Ron helped him change into his pajamas, and Hermione and Cyrus were waiting outside. Ron struggled to get the rubbery, boneless arm into the sleeve.
"How can you protect Lockhart now, eh, Hermione?" Ron said loudly through the curtain while pulling Harry's limp fingers out of the cuffs one by one,
"Everyone makes mistakes," said Hermione. "And your arm doesn't hurt now, does it, Harry?"
"It really doesn't hurt anymore." Even Cyrus looked at Hermione with a ridiculous expression. It goes without saying what the first victim Harry's expression was now. "Hermione, you should be more sensible and think about it. Can't you see, if Madam Pomfrey couldn't help it, Harry's right hand would be useless? That Lockhart almost made him permanently disabled!!"
"He has no ability at all. He should not have done anything uncertain from the beginning."
"...."
Hermione was a little saddened by this, and then Madam Pomfrey walked into the curtain with a large bottle in her hand, labeled Bonewraith. The two of them followed.
"It will be a tough night for you," she said, pouring out a steaming mug and handing it to Harry. "Growing bones is hard."
Seeing Harry's sad look, Ron decided to say something else to change the subject: "At least we won! Thanks to you for catching the Golden Snitch. That look on Malfoy's face... He looked like he wanted to kill someone!"
"I really want to know what he did to that Bludger," Hermione said angrily. They had already blamed Malfoy for the Bludger problem.
"We can also write this question on the list and ask him together after we drink the Polyjuice Potion. I hope the Polyjuice Potion tastes better than this..." Harry's words became quieter and quieter. Before Min and Ron realized something was wrong, they saw Harry's eyes seeming to be fixed on Cyrus.
"You are talking about the potion to change appearance?" Cyrus expressed his "doubts" at the right time.
Now, they also realize something is wrong.
"Harry! You spilled the beans!" Hermione covered his mouth with a pillow like crazy.
Ron quickly stopped in front of Cyrus and said hurriedly: "You heard wrong Ginny, there is no such compound potion, how can we refine the compound potion? That is a potion that even senior students cannot refine, let alone Say that the secret recipe is still hidden in the forbidden area, and we need to go to Snape to steal the potion! This is impossible! And we can't find a place where we can concentrate on refining the potion without being disturbed..."
"Ron, I want to remind you, that you have told almost everything!" Harry used his left hand to push open the pillow with difficulty.
Ron immediately turned pale and begged quickly: "Don't tell mom, please..." a leaned to give a kiss on Ginny's forehead.
Cyrus dodged and he fell.
"Haha..." Hermione smiled awkwardly.
"Of course, I won't snitch." Cyrus shook his head and said, it would not do him any good, but...
"So, you are planning to use the polyjuice potion to become one of the Slytherin, and then find out if Malfoy is the one who opened the Chamber of Secrets?"
The Golde trio nodded immediately.
Then, Hermione reacted and said in surprise: "Wait, you know the Polyjuice potion? And you also know its uses?"
"You know, Ron had never heard of the compound potion at all."
"I've seen it in books," Cyrus said nonchalantly. Riddle had read the book "Powerful Potion" more than once that year. He dropped the topic and continued, "If you don't mind, you can invite me to join you then."
"You are too youn-" Ron was just about to refuse when there was a bustling sound outside the door, and people from the Gryffindor team swarmed in.
He had no choice but to shut his mouth and wink at Cyrus as hard as he could.
The team members brought a lot of food and drinks as if they were going to have a party directly in the school hospital. This annoyed Madam Pomfrey, who immediately rushed out from the other side and kicked everyone out.
"This kid needs to rest, he has thirty-three bones to grow! Get out! Get out!"
At the entrance of the school hospital, Cyrus met Colin again, who was about to come to visit. This kid originally wanted to go in, but was led out by a group of people from the team. His small stature stretched out in the crowd. Neck looking around.
Ron couldn't avoid him and immediately hid further away. He doesn't want to give an interview to this reporter wanna-be.
"Don't be sad Colin, Madam Pomfrey doesn't allow us to visit Harry directly." Cyrus reminded "kindly", "But you can visit secretly..."
After saying that, Cyrus left directly.
Ginny's body was a little too tired. In order not to affect Ginny's health, Cyrus planned to take a rest. There were still several hours between now and Hogwarts' curfew.
...
At night, Cyrus wakes up in a dark chamber.
A huge basilisk surrounded him.
Although its eyes have terrifying magic power, they cannot harm him, the person who controls the basilisk.
"The second hunt is about to begin!"
He sat on the basilisk's head and ordered the basilisk to close its eyes.
This magical animal is actually very different from a snake. Its movements rely more on vision and hearing rather than heat sensing.
"Follow my command, and I will guide you forward." Cyrus made a terrifying sound, like something evil was whispering.
Hogwarts was quiet and strange at night. Cyrus shrewdly avoided Filch, who was still patrolling, and swarmed toward the school doctor's office on a huge snake.
At the same time, Colin also took a bunch of grapes secretly left at the dinner and planned to secretly visit Harry Potter just as "Ginny" told him.
Since it was his first night trip, Colin had also brought his own camera. Looking forward to taking pictures of something different.
From this aspect, it can be said that he got what he wanted.
He hummed and walked briskly around the corner, but unexpectedly bumped into a huge object, causing Colin to fall to the ground and even the grapes in his hand fell.
"What the hell--" His voice soon became hoarse as he looked at the thing he had bumped into.
At this time, a huge snake - its head alone was bigger than his head - was facing him with its eyes closed. And on top of the big snake was the "Ginny Weasley" he was familiar with.
"Ginny, are you the heir of Slytherin?" he said absurdly.
"Yes, it's a pity that no third person will know about this," Cyrus said jokingly.
Colin seemed to realize something and immediately picked up the camera and pointed it at the basilisk and Ginny, trying to take a picture of the culprit.
He will die, but at least——
"Crack!"
"Good night, little Gryffindor."
