The Periodic Table of Words at Hogwarts

"Good afternoon, Madam Pomfrey."

Zhang Qi, carrying a steaming brown paper bag in his hand, knocked on the door of the medical room and said politely after Madam Pomfrey opened the door.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Zirol, are you here to visit your good friend?"

"Yeah," Zhang Qi sighed, "I got up late this morning, so I couldn't wake him up early. I didn't expect that he would faint from hunger during medicine class because he didn't eat breakfast.".... .

"Come on, raise your head and let me see."

Madam Pomfrey pushed back the hair from her forehead and studied his forehead carefully for a while.

"Well, the swelling has gone down and I'm recovering pretty quickly."

An embarrassed smile appeared on Zhang Qi's face.

Zhang Qi originally thought that his roommate was suffering from low blood sugar because he didn't eat in the morning, but seeing Snape's anxious look, he understood that something was wrong, so he immediately hugged his roommate and headed towards him. Run to the infirmary on the 3rd floor.

Then I didn't expect that the door frame of the infirmary was relatively low, and some evil person just happened to throw a banana peel in front of the infirmary door.When Zhang Qi saw the banana peel, he couldn't stop. He could only jump suddenly and jump over the banana peel.

Then he banged his head on the door frame of the infirmary.

Fortunately, the position Zhang Qi used at that time was a princess hug, otherwise if his roommate's head hit the door frame, this girl who was lighter than the paper man would have died on the spot.

Ahem, cough, cough, it seems like something has been exposed...

"On the innermost bed, I just peeled an apple for him to eat, because I was afraid that he wouldn't be able to survive lunch and would faint from hunger."

Madam Pomfrey raised her finger and pointed to the most comfortable bed in the entire infirmary.

But how did Zhang Qi know that that bed was the most comfortable in the entire infirmary?

Because I was hospitalized here last time when I suffered a comminuted fracture of my right arm...

"thanks".

Zhang Qi carried the paper bag and walked towards the bed inside.

"Minerva is right, he is quite a handsome boy."

Madam Pomfrey looked at Zhang Qi's back and nodded approvingly.

"It's really a good match"...

--------------------

"woke up"?

"Ok".

Zhang Qi and Alito, who had just sat upright on the hospital bed, looked at each other for a long time with big eyes and small eyes. The scene was very awkward for a time.

"I brought you lunch, a sandwich packed from the auditorium and beef. Remember to eat more at noon, so as not to have it again in the afternoon...poof, hahaha"...

Zhang Qi couldn't hold it in anymore and started to laugh without any image.

"Did you know? Today, a Hufflepuff senior forced three boxes of butter biscuits into our common room. Before leaving, one of the seniors patted your sister's shoulder and squeezed it a few times. Later, I said that I was really too thin and I should eat more."

"No, please let me laugh a little longer."

Madam Pomfrey, who was slowly preparing potions in the processing room, burst out laughing when she heard this.

Hufflepuff students are still as friendly as ever.

Alito's face turned red, he lowered his head in embarrassment, grabbed the sandwiches and beef in the bag and began to slowly eat them.

After a while, everything in the bag was eaten clean.

Alito didn't eat all day. He only ate an apple in the morning to satisfy his hunger. He was starving by now.

"Thank you".

Alito wiped his mouth with the tissue at the bottom of the paper bag, and then put all the garbage into the paper bag.

"Just put it under the bed. An elf will come over later to collect all the garbage."

Madam Pomfrey shouted in this direction.

"Okay, thanks for the reminder."

Zhang Qi took the orange paper bag containing garbage and leaned it against the corner of the bed.

"Mr. Greengrass, I assume you haven't read the Daily Prophet these days."

Zhang Qi suddenly asked.

"Ah, indeed".

Alito thought for a moment, and it seemed that he had never read the newspaper since the beginning of school. On Saturdays and Sundays, he was busy studying for homework and playing with his sister, so he indeed forgot to read the newspaper.

"Well, please be mentally prepared before reading the newspaper. Britain is, well, a little chaotic recently."

Zhang Qi handed a brand new newspaper to his roommate. Alito reached out and took it, unfolded it, took a deep breath, and started reading.

"The Ministry of Magic's search for the Flint family encountered resistance to arrest, and fierce fighting broke out at the scene."

"The Bain family announced the replacement of the family heir."

"Knockturn Alley announced a reward of [-] Galleons to hunt down the heir of the Zirol family."

"The Malfoy family and the Greengrass family have broken off their engagement."

"The Zirol and Greenglass families are discussing marriage matters."

.................

"The magic world is really in chaos lately, isn't it?"

Zhang Qi sighed and then said:

"Previously, the Ministry of Magic's raid on the Flint family affected the interests of the local dark forces. Some people in the darkness began to become restless and planned to do something to me, but unfortunately they made the wrong calculation."

But at this time, Alito didn't hear what Zhang Qi said. All his eyes were focused on the last two pieces of news.

"The Malfoy family and the Greengrass family broke off their engagement at the same time."

"The Chirol and Greengrass families discuss marriage matters."

??????????

"You, you want to get engaged to my sister"?

Alito asked tentatively.

Alito was quite happy when she saw that her engagement with the Malfoy family had been terminated. She didn't like the young master who always liked to talk about his father, and thought he was quite childish.

But the second news immediately shocked her!

"It's not your sister Daphne, it's your sister Astoria"...

Zhang Qi sighed, and then continued.

"I don't know what went wrong with my mother. She said that I was already very old and insisted on getting me engaged. She also forced Uncle Lucius to give up the engagement. But I can't even tell Astoria I don’t know what I look like, so being engaged in such a hazy way will inevitably make me feel a little uncomfortable.”…

"Well, what kind of person is your sister? Can you tell me about it, Mr. Greengrass?"

"Oh, this is it"......

Alito blushed and couldn't say a word.

"Ah, sorry, it's really rude to ask you this question, but today I'm actually here to introduce you to someone."

Zhang Qi stood up from the small chair and shouted towards the door.

"Mr. Filch, you have been standing outside the door for five or six minutes. Come in quickly."

"Allow me to introduce you to Mr. Greengrass."

Looking back, Zhang Qi raised his arm and pointed at the old man who had just walked into the medical room and was leaning on an exquisite crutch.

"Abraham Serakian, caretaker of Hogwarts Castle, retired vampire hunter."

"And your swordsmanship teacher".
