From Beauxbatons to Hogwarts

Soon, Mrs. Longbottom took Calvin to a declining commercial street in London.At the end of the commercial street, there is an old-fashioned red brick department store. Its name - Qingzhen Department Store - is displayed on the neon sign that has been powered off for a long time.It seems to be deserted, and has long since become a paradise for spiders. The sign on the sign reads "Closed for renovation."

"Is this St. Mungo's Hospital?" Calvin twirled the dust on the glass with his hand and looked inside. He could only vaguely see a few dummies scattered about.

"It seems that the Ministry of Magic has spent a lot of effort hiding it here. If only I could drive the protected area here one day." Calvin sighed.

The old woman said absently: "I think this is a good idea, Mr. Cape. I have been to your reserve. Newt and the tall Slavic wizard introduced me to many furry and rare animals and got in touch with them. My mood improved a lot after that.”

“I think it would be really popular if these furry little cuties came across St Mungo’s.”

"Really?" Calvin was a little relieved. "If you feel better after visiting the reserve, then I think my goal of establishing the reserve has been completed."

"Stop talking about this," Mrs. Longbottom twisted her hands tangledly at the straps of her red handbag, "Are you really sure? Professor Capet, the therapists at St. Mungo's have almost sentenced Frank and Alice. The death penalty."

"Madam, I think we'd better check on the patient's condition first." Calvin showed unusual patience with this elderly man.

Mrs. Longbottom nodded, and then said to a particularly ugly dummy in the window: "I'm here to visit Frank Longbottom and Alice Longbottom."

The dummy nodded slightly mechanically and waved to them.

The two stepped through the window glass and entered St. Mungo's Hospital of Magic.

Calvin observed the hall of St. Mungo's Hospital with interest. There were not many people in the hall, but not too few. Patients accounted for the majority.

Calvin saw a young witch with flowers on her nose, and angrily accused her boyfriend of trying to use magic to conjure a flower, but instead, her nose blossomed.

There was also a wizard whose whole face turned golden. He said he was bitten by an unknown magical animal.Calvin could tell at a glance that the Quindinar snake needed a paste of the liver of a Motla rat immediately.

At this time, two people from outside came in carrying a stretcher. On it lay a man whose body was twisted into an arch shape, with his buttocks raised high.His friend said that he accidentally threw the crucible on the table and got stuck in his anus - the crucible also contained a pair of water of life and death.

The two therapists got into an argument about this.

"He should go to the Object Injury Department. Didn't you see such a big crucible stuck in his ass?"

"That's nonsense. A whole dose of water of life and death was poured into the body through the anus. He should go to the Potions and Plant Poisoning Department."

Fortunately, an older female therapist ended the dispute, "First go to the Artifact Injury Department to take out the crucible, and then send it to the Magic Potion and Plant Poisoning Department to treat the water of life and death."

Calvin glanced at the sign next to him:

The first floor - Artifact Accident Section: Explosion of cauldron, fire of wand, collision of broom, etc.

Second Floor - Biological Injury Section: stings, burns, embedded thorns, etc.

The third floor—Department of Strange Bacterial Infection: Infectious diseases such as dragon pox, disappearance syndrome, and lymphatic fungal inflammation.

Fourth Floor - Potions and Plant Poisoning: Rash, Nausea, Laughing, etc.

Fifth floor - Curse damage department: spells that cannot be removed, wrong spells used, etc.

Sixth floor - tea room and shop.

"Okay, let's go to the fifth floor," Mrs. Longbottom said. They went up the winding stairs to the fifth floor platform, and then passed some wards with closed doors to the innermost room.

At this time, a female therapist wearing high heels ran all the way and caught up from behind: "Mrs. Longbottom!"

Calvin turned around and saw a middle-aged woman wearing a gold and silver wreath on her head, kindly like everyone's mother.

"Are you here to visit your son and daughter-in-law again? I'll take you in." said the therapist wearing a wreath on his head.

"Thank you, Meliam. Come to my house for tea when you have time."

The healer Meliam used a complex magic key to open the innermost ward, led them into the room, passed several empty beds, and opened the two bed curtains at the end decorated with flowers.

"Frank, Alice, your mother is here to see you." Meliam said kindly.

Calvin looked at the Longbottoms on the bed and shook his head slightly.The two were wearing pajamas, their faces were haggard, but had a sickly ruddy look, and their hair was mixed with black and white, but not messy.It seemed that someone had carefully taken care of them, whether it was the old woman or the kind therapist.

Frank turned his head to the side, drooling from the corner of his mouth, but fortunately he had a bib around his neck, and his eyes were staring straight at a picture frame on the bedside table - the picture frame was empty.

Alice's symptoms were more intuitive. She was sitting on the bed, holding a book in her hands, flipping through it aimlessly, laughing or shedding tears from time to time.The only problem was, she knocked down the book.

The two of them continued their actions as if they didn't hear Meliam's words.

"They..." Meliam organized her words, "They are just looking at some patterns. Their memory, logical ability, and understanding ability have basically disappeared. You should know that."

"Thank you, Meriam," Old Lady Longbottom said weakly, "Can we stay here by ourselves for a while?" Calvin clearly felt that the old lady had aged more than ten years after seeing her son and daughter-in-law. She is very different from the strong and tough old lady before.

"Okay." Meliam smiled at the two of them, turned and left.

Old Mrs. Longbottom sat on the bed next to Alice, tidied up a few stray strands of hair for her, and said naggingly: "The sequelae of the Cruciatus Curse make them age faster than others. Look at Alice, her He has more gray hair than I do.”

After Calvin saw Meliam leaving, he took out the Thestral glasses from his sleeves, put them on and began to observe Frank and Alice carefully.

Mrs. Longbottom held her breath and did not dare to speak for fear of disturbing Calvin.

About 5 minutes later, Calvin let out a slight "tsk", shook his head slightly, and took off his Thestral glasses.Mrs. Longbottom hurriedly asked: "Professor Capet, Alice, and Frank, can they be saved?"

Judging from Calvin's movements and his solemn expression, Mrs. Longbottom had actually guessed that there was a high probability that it would be out of luck again.

Calvin sighed softly and handed the Thestral glasses to the old lady, "Mrs. Longbottom, see for yourself..."
