Chapter 21 Neville Longbottom (Thanks to the Helmsman "Grandpa Bridge Is the Highest")

According to Nick Lemay's orders, William will spend two weeks at St Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Injuries.

He has to stay for so long, not because the injury is so serious, but because the hospital wants to give him a thorough examination of his body.

The inspection items alone have 37 major items and 900 minor items.

Fortunately, Nick paid the entire fee, otherwise William's mood at this time would probably be the same as the international student who woke up and found that an ambulance had been called after the American emperor had a car accident.

During this period, both the twins and Cedric came to see him, and they were relieved after they were sure that he was all right.

Several people discussed the issue of commodity prices after the school started before leaving.

When William had nothing to do, he lived the life of a retired old man, reading the newspaper all day, drinking potions, teaching Hermione lessons... or chatting with the wizards in the hospital.

St Mungo's Hospital has a wide variety of patients.

On the second floor, there were always rows and rows of witches and wizards sitting on wobbly wooden chairs, looking perfectly normal, reading outdated Witcher Weekly...and their heads were not normal.

There are also a large number of loyal readers of The Quibbler.

William had wondered why this magazine sold so well before, and emotional readers were all in the hospital.

If Cedric was here, he would definitely have a common language with these people.

In addition to these interesting people, the old men in the hospital are also Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon... Retired Aurors, former Chasers of the Quidditch National Team, Master Alchemists... As long as you can think of a career, here are all Have.

Once, William played wizard chess with a bald old man. They played 20 games in a row, and they all failed miserably... Only after inquiring did they find out that they were three-time wizard chess champions.

So he started his career as a stealer.

William also saw a portrait of Dalys Derwent in the hospital.

She is St Mungo's Healer and Headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

William had chatted with her for a long time in the principal's office, discussing many questions about potions.

But she was always busy, wandering around the frames and sometimes speaking for Dumbledore.

William and Hermione also met a Neville boy in the hospital.

Like Hermione, he was a young wizard who was about to enter school.

William was teaching Hermione Transfiguration in his ward when Neville knocked on the door.

Neville was looking for his toad, Ralph, who, according to him, might have been caught and eaten by some lunatic in the hospital.

Finally, after searching for a long time, he found that the toad was hidden in his crotch.

Neville's parents were on the fifth floor, which was the ward of the Charm Injury Unit.

Neville, like a regular, spent almost the entire August in the hospital with his parents.

Later, after the three got to know each other, William and Hermione decided to visit them together with gifts.

Neville's father was lying on the bed with a sad face, staring at the ceiling, counting how many patterns there were.

Neville's mother, with her hair disheveled and her face hidden underneath, stared straight at everyone who came to see her.

"Neville, look up, you should be proud to have such parents!"

Mrs Longbottom, who had been here all along, said sternly.

Mrs Longbottom, a terrifying looking old witch, wore a long green dress, a moth-spotted fox fur, and a pointed hat, no doubt adorned with a well-fed vulture.

She was full of aura, like an old lion.

Neville kept looking down at his toes, and said in a low voice, "I know."

"Then you should tell your friends, Neville!" Mrs Longbottom looked at William and Hermione.

"Neville's parents were tortured insane by Death Eaters with the Cruciatus." Mrs Longbottom said proudly.

But there was more sadness in the tone.

Hermione covered her mouth, tears welling in her eyes. Neville didn't say it before, and they didn't know it was because of this reason.

"Neville, remember who hurt your parents?" asked Mrs Longbottom suddenly.

"Bellatry..."

"Be louder!"

"Bellatrix Lestrange, and Rodolphus, and Rabastan!" Neville's face flushed, and he shouted loudly.

"What would you do if they escaped from Azkaban?"

"I will kill them with my wand!"

"Very good." Mrs Longbottom was very satisfied.

William squinted his eyes and thought. He was not unfamiliar with the name Rodolphus. He checked his memory in Dumbledore before, and Tywin performed the Death Eater ritual process from this Death Eater.

William felt that it was absurd that such a heinous Death Eater was not sentenced to death and was still imprisoned in Azkaban.

Mrs Longbottom stared at William for a moment, then suddenly extended her wrinkled claw-like hand to him.

"Boy, thank you for catching a Death Eater and blocking a Death Eater at Gringotts."

William raised his eyebrows, shook hands with her, and asked suspiciously, "You know?"

After William was paid enough for the Gringotts incident, the officials naturally concealed him.

"Of course I know," Mrs. Longbottom said proudly, "our family is an Auror family. I have many students, friends, and relatives in the system. My information is much better than you think."

Neville glanced at William in surprise. He didn't expect the little wizard he met in the hospital to be so powerful.

"Minerva mentioned you to me, you spoke highly of you, said you were a good boy, and I saw you helping Hermione with her first grade homework?"

"Yes." William nodded.

Mrs Longbottom's stern gaze turned to Neville again, "I hope Neville will become an Auror too, so that he can inherit the honor of the family.

But I'm afraid to say that he really did not inherit his father's talents. Can you help Neville when you are helping Hermione with tutoring? "

William nodded immediately, "Of course, I've been very free recently. If he needs help at school, he can come to me."

At this moment, Mrs. Longbottom suddenly turned to look at the hospital bed.

"Ah, Alice, dear, what's the matter?"

Neville's mother was already walking slowly in her pajamas.

It was an extremely thin and haggard face, her eyes looked large, and her graying hair was dry and fragile.

She looked reluctant to speak, or said she was incapable of speaking. She reached out and moved cautiously towards Neville, holding something in her hand.

"Again?" said Mrs Longbottom in a weary voice. "Very well, Alice, dear, well.

Neville, take whatever it is. "

Neville had held out his hand, and his mother threw the Bubble Super Bubble Gum wrapper into his palm.

"Very well, my dear." Mrs Longbottom patted Neville's mother on the shoulder, feigning delight.

Neville forced a smile. "Thank you, Mom."

His mother staggered back to the nursing bed and began muttering to herself.

"Neville, throw that candy wrapper in the trash. She gave you enough candy wrappers to cover your bedroom." Mrs Longbottom sighed, looking tired.

"You guys, go play, and I'll have a chat with them." Mrs. Longbottom instructed.

William, Hermione, and Neville walked downstairs.

Leaving Mrs. Longbottom's sight, Neville didn't toss the wrapping paper in the trash, but smoothed it out and carefully put it in his pocket.

William took a small box from his pocket, enlarged with the Invisible Stretch Charm, and handed it to Neville.

This is what he used to store potions before, and the space is the size of two large boxes.

"It's very convenient to put what your mother gave you," William said.

"Thank you, William!" Neville hurriedly took it.

Hermione grabbed William's arm, still tearful.

William was thinking about something else.

Now that Lily can use the power of the prehistoric mystery to rebound Avada's life to protect Harry.

So, can this power eliminate the influence of the Cruciatus and save Neville's parents?

For the first time, William wanted to learn this kind of magic, not because of curiosity or to gain knowledge, but simply to save others.
