Hogwarts Raven's Claw

Chapter 40 Strange Ceiling
Inside the Hogwarts infirmary, bright sunlight shone on the snow-white bed. Mike, lying on the bed, frowned, and kept replaying the scene of the green light hitting him in his mind. He felt like his head was about to explode with pain.

Mike finally couldn't stand the pain anymore, he held his head tightly with both hands and sat up from the bed. It would have been fine if he didn't sit up, but when he sat up, Mike felt a sharp pain in his chest.

"what!"

Mike couldn't help but scream.

Hearing Mike's painful roar, Mrs. Pomfret hurried in from the front room.

"Merlin, you finally woke up!"

Attracted by the sound, Mike looked in the direction of the sound.

He saw Mrs. Pomfret's fat face looking at him with concern.

"How do you feel? Are you feeling unwell?" asked Mrs. Pomfret.

"My head hurts so bad! And my chest, too!"

"Then there's no problem. Chest pain is normal. You have three broken ribs, child." Madam Pomfret stroked Mike's forehead with her hand. "As for the headache, it may be related to the killing curse."

"Korean Curse?"

"Yes, I can't believe you survived the Avada Kedavra curse with just an old-fashioned 'Anti-Kedavra Cloth'. You know, the probability of this happening is very small."

After that, Mrs. Pomfret took out a bottle of blue liquid and a bottle of purple liquid from a cabinet and poured them into a transparent cup. The two liquids in the transparent cup mixed to form a strange green color in an unscientific way.

"Come, drink this and you'll feel better." Mrs. Pomfret brought the cup to Mike's mouth.

Mike looked at the cup of green unknown liquid in front of him, which was still bubbling with strange bubbles, and retched. Whenever he saw something green, he would think of the green light in the Forbidden Forest.

Seeing that Mike looked like he couldn't drink it, Mrs. Pomfret reached out and pried open Mike's mouth, then poured the entire cup of green liquid into Mike's mouth.

Mike only felt a warm current flowing down his throat to his stomach, and after circling around his stomach, it rushed straight to his brain, and then he lost consciousness again.

When Mike woke up again, it was already dark. I have to say that although Mrs. Pomfret's medicine didn't look very good, the effect was really amazing. Now Mike's head didn't hurt as much as before.

Mike didn't stand up immediately, but slowly moved his body starting from his fingers to check his physical condition.

After checking himself, Mike breathed a sigh of relief. Mrs. Pomfret did not lie to him. Apart from some dull pain in his chest and head, he had no other adverse reactions.

"Good evening, Mike."

Mike was startled and looked quickly towards the source of the sound. He hadn't even noticed that there was someone else in the room.

"Relax, would you like some fizzy bee candy?" Dumbledore made a gesture to Mike to relax, and handed the candy in his other hand to Mike, "Sweets are a magical potion, they always make people happy. I heard that Muggles have worked out the principle behind it, it seems to stimulate the nerves or something." "Professor Dumbledore, why are you here?" Mike said in a daze as he took the candy handed over by Dumbledore.

"I want to talk to you about what happened in the Forbidden Forest that night." Dumbledore found a chair and sat down.

"You've been in a coma for three days. Everyone is very worried about you. After all, not everyone can survive being hit by the Killing Curse, even if you were wearing the 'Anti-Killing Curse Cloth'. You are lucky, Mike, you survived almost unscathed."

"It was Hagrid who saved you. I have to say that you learned the fire spell very well. It was very powerful and almost set one-ninth of the Forbidden Forest on fire. After Hagrid found out that the Forbidden Forest was on fire, he went in your direction and eventually met little Malfoy on the way. He eventually found you under the guidance of little Malfoy."

"It was really dangerous at the time. You were in a sea of ​​fire, and Hagrid had to use a water-clearing spell to find you. Luckily there were no trees in your area, otherwise you would have been burned to death. Oh! By the way. Please keep the fact that Hagrid can use magic a secret. His wand was cut off in an accident, and the Ministry of Magic ruled that he cannot use magic for the rest of his life."

"At the same time, you are also very brave. Even in such a dangerous situation, you can stand up to protect your classmates and fight against unknown dangers. Mr. Malfoy told us that you chose to let him go first to protect him, and you stayed alone to fight against the monster with a height of eight meters and a waist circumference of eight meters."

Hearing this, Mike couldn't sit still anymore. He spread his hands and raised his voice and said, "What! That coward told you this? It was that damn coward who left me and ran away alone! I was thinking of taking him with me!"

Seeing Mike's frustrated look, Dumbledore smiled, a very bright smile. The bright moonlight from the window shone on his white robe and beard, making him look like he was glowing.

"Anyway, it's a good thing, isn't it?" Dumbledore winked at Mike.

"And that monster, he's not a man with an eight-meter-square waist! He's a human being!" Mike complained.

When Dumbledore heard Mike talking about the monster, his eyes behind the lenses flashed with a gleam of success.

"Is that a human? Can you describe it to me?"

"That person is about 1.78 meters tall, of medium build, a man." Mike realized that Dumbledore was trapping him and answered perfunctorily.

Dumbledore waited for a while, and when he saw that Mike had no intention of continuing, he asked, "Anything else?"

"What else? It was pitch black and he was wearing a hood. I didn't see what he looked like at all." Mike once again used his signature move, spreading his hands and shrugging his shoulders. "Also, he lowered his voice. I couldn't discern his real voice."

After listening to Mike's description, Dumbledore fell silent. He lowered his head and seemed to be thinking about something.

After a while, he seemed to have thought of something, raised his head and asked, "What was he doing when you found him?"

"I believe that coward Malfoy should have answered this question for you. If you still need confirmation, I can answer it again. That person was lying on the unicorn and biting it."

"I see. Thank you very much for the information, Mike." Dumbledore didn't care about Mike's attitude at all. He stood up and prepared to leave. "I should go now, Mike. You should have a good rest. Maybe you should eat that candy before going to sleep, so that your mouth is filled with sweetness and you can fall asleep slowly. That's what I like to do most."

"Oh, by the way." Dumbledore walked to the door and suddenly turned around and said, "Because of your bravery and wisdom, Ravenclaw will get 100 points."

After saying that, he winked at Mike mischievously, and finally disappeared into the darkness in Mike's speechless eyes.
