Hogwarts, where the stars shine

Like many Muggle schools, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry also has a school hospital, which provides students with simple medical services and is managed by the rejuvenated Madam Poppy Pomfrey.

While Mesa was having breakfast in the auditorium, Lucian Bol and Perikin Derek were sent to the school doctor's office by other students.

The two men, who looked haggard and looked haggard, lay in pain on the hospital bed in the school hospital.Although the injuries on their bodies were different, the panic on their faces was the same, as if they had a nightmare from which they couldn't wake up.

Bol's whole body seemed to have rolled over in a pile of coals. Blisters of various sizes covered his body. Some of the blisters had burst, and the pus flowing out stained the white sheets of the school hospital.

Derek's body was also covered in blisters, but he was not suffering from burns, but from frostbite.

It was just like last night when Perigen Derek had trudged naked through the ice and snow all night.

These blisters caused by frostbite were very large, like blooming lotus petals. They looked very beautiful from the outside, but they were based on Derek's pain.

Madam Pomfrey stood beside the bed, treating the two suffering people.

Snape stood at the door of the school doctor's office, talking to three students, including Marcus Flint, to understand the situation.

"Professor, Mesa Black must have done this!" Marcus Flint said, "No one else will harm Lucian and Perikin except him!"

Two other students also echoed the statement, insisting that Mesa was the culprit and should be expelled immediately.

Snape, still dressed in black robes and with a sallow complexion, said: "A first-year student cannot do such a thing. Flint, I hope you can come up with tangible evidence instead of just talking nonsense here. "

Snape didn't believe that a freshman who had only been learning magic for four days could use vicious curses to torture his roommates.Not only Severus Snape didn't believe it, but many people didn't believe it either.

Magic is not just about waving a wand twice and chanting two spells. In addition to the support of magic power, it sometimes also requires strong emotions to drive it, or a sufficient understanding of the magic you release.

Especially for black magic such as curses, if these prerequisites are not met and the spell is forcibly cast, the people lying in the school hospital will not be Bol and Derek, but Mesa Black, who is considered to be the caster.

A first-year freshman not only has a huge amount of magic power as support, but also possesses strong negative emotions, and has sufficient understanding of black magic... Even if this kind of thing is told, how many people will believe it?

People are inherently evil, are they born with bad qualities?

"Professor!" Flint said, "Professor, it must be that brat Mesa Black, it can only be him!"

The three Slytherin students still believed that Mesa was responsible, and also revealed the conflicts between Mesa, Bol and Derek.

However, the conflict between the three of Mesa has changed in their mouths. It is no longer that Bol and Derek bullied Mesa, but that Mesa brought it upon himself and he deserves it.

As for Mesa's luggage being thrown out of the common room, the three Flints never mentioned it.

"Mesa Black, that dirty, mean, nasty..."

"Shut up!" Snape interrupted Flint's curse, and a disgusted look appeared between the Slytherin Headmaster's brows.Snape said impatiently: "Don't you have to go to class, Flint?"

"But, Professor..." Flint wanted to say a few more words, but Snape didn't want to listen to him anymore. Mr. Dean walked straight to the hospital bed with the curtain drawn.

In desperation, Flint could only reluctantly leave the school hospital.

Flint looked back three times as he left. At this moment, he really hoped that Snape could stop him and let him convey the order to expel Mesa Black.

At this time, Madam Pomfrey had already treated the wounds of Bol and Derek. She opened the curtain and met Snape's questioning gaze.

"The two of them are fine," Madam Pomfrey said. "Those blisters just look scary, they are not serious in fact. Change the dressing on time and leave them for two days, and they will be fine."

Madam Pomfrey's medical skills are trustworthy. If she says it's okay, then Lucian Bol and Perigen Derek will be fine.

Unless someone wants to continue harming them, after all, there is a word called "last strike", and hospitals are high-incidence areas for "last strike".

"It's just..." Madam Pomfrey continued, "The two of them seemed to be frightened and their mental state was very bad. For this, I could only give them some calming potions."

After talking about her disposal arrangements, Madam Pomfrey left the vicinity of the hospital bed. She was going to prepare everything needed for the two of them to recover from their injuries.

Snape opened the curtain and glanced at Bol and Derek respectively.Although the two of them fell into a deep sleep under the influence of the soothing potion, the panic on their faces did not fade away, and their bodies twitched from time to time.

After lowering the curtain, Snape sat on the other empty bed, lost in thought.

Lucian Bol and Perikin Derek, these two are also freshmen. Who will curse them?And this curse is more of a warning than a threat, more like a warning.

Could it be that, as Flint said, it was Mesa Black who had conflicts with them who made the curse?

Judging from the contact in the summer, that kid is indeed very talented, and his warning to Bol and Derek seems a bit like his style...

But, can 11-year-old Mesa Black really do this?

At this time, there was a burst of unnecessary footsteps in the school hospital. The pensive Snape looked up and saw the figure of Albus Dumbledore getting closer and closer.

"I really can't hide anything from you," Snape said.

These words seemed to be praising Dumbledore, but also seemed to be a sarcastic comment on the headmaster of Hogwarts.

"I take it as your compliment to me, an old man, Severus." Albus Dumbledore came over. He just took a look at Bol and Derek's injuries, and then sat on a table. Empty bed.

The headmaster of Hogwarts and the headmaster of Slytherin sat opposite each other.Dumbledore looked at Snape, as if waiting for an answer.

"It's hard for me to believe that this was done by a freshman." Snape hesitated for a moment, then said, "Even if he was in the first year, it would be difficult for him to do such a thing, right?"

"New life..." Dumbledore did not answer directly, but looked thoughtful, as if he was recalling the distant past.

After a while, Dumbledore continued: "If it were him, these two children would not simply lie here like this."

"What are you trying to say?" Snape asked. "You're trying to say that Mesa Black is different from him, right?"

Dumbledore did not answer, but sighed: "Black, what a familiar surname! Black... It's a pity that there is only one person left in the male line of the Black family."

In an instant, Snape's expression became very ugly, as if he had swallowed a hundred flies in one mouthful.The flames of hatred ignited in the black eyes.

"I observed that child when school started." Dumbledore continued. "Although that child has outstanding appearance, it is not like him. That child's character... I think you should know more."

Dumbledore stood up and said meaningfully: "Severus, that is a gifted child. If you can, pay more attention to him, it is crucial for his growth."

With that said, Dumbledore slowly walked out of the school doctor's office.

But in Snape's eyes, the principal's back looked a little lonely, like an old man who had made mistakes.
