Hogwarts lazy snake

After the Hogwarts train slowly left the Hogwarts grounds, there was silence in the Hogwarts infirmary.

Horn's eyelids trembled slightly, and then he slowly opened his eyes. What came into view was the familiar white, the white ceiling, white walls, and white sheets. Everything seemed so peaceful and a little monotonous.

"Ding, School Infirmary achievement completed +1."

Horn couldn't help but mutter to himself as he thought of something he didn't have, a self-deprecating smile forming on his lips.

He could hardly remember how many times he had been sent to the school infirmary due to injury or coma. Every time he came here, it seemed like a not-so-pleasant "routine".

"It seems that I came at the right time. Horn, you are finally awake! What else is bothering you?"

A gentle and familiar voice came.

"Oh, it's the headmaster, why are you here? Where are Harry and the others?"

Horn heard Dumbledore's voice and looked towards the door of the school infirmary.

Seeing Dumbledore walking towards him with light steps, he quickly sat up and looked around subconsciously, only to find that he was the only one in the school infirmary.

"Harry and the others? I guess they are on the Hogwarts Express heading home. Horn, you woke up at a really bad time."

As Dumbledore spoke, he threw a piece of snowflake into his mouth. He looked relaxed, as if he was talking about a very ordinary little thing.

"Hogwarts Express? Home? Has it been that long?"

Horn watched Dumbledore walk to the bedside, and heard what he said, it seemed that the semester was over. He realized that he had been in the mental space for quite a long time.

Dumbledore heard Horne's mumbling and began to answer his questions: "Yes, you have been in a coma for a whole week. It seems that you have solved your problem."

At this point, Dumbledore couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

He wondered in his heart, what exactly is Horn's power that he mentioned before?

Where did those powers that he had felt in Horn's body come from?

How did Horn deal with the strange black flame?

You know, Horn's situation is more complicated and difficult than Ron's broken arm.

Later, when he used the Patronus to help resolve Horn's situation, he could feel a very mysterious force fighting against the strange flame.

One's patronus can play a major role at the beginning, but later on it can basically only provide a small auxiliary force.

Now that Horn has regained consciousness, it means that he has successfully eliminated the power of the strange flame.

"Huh? Ah? Solved?"

Horn was still immersed in the long time of a week mentioned by the other party, and his mind was a little confused for a while.

But he soon understood what Dumbledore wanted to ask. He pondered for a moment, thinking that he should have solved it, so he answered Dumbledore: "Oh, almost, it has been solved. Anyway, I feel there is no problem now."

After saying this, Horn's mind couldn't help but recall his thrilling battle with Greed in the Sea of ​​Stars.

In that duel, he relied on the power of Dumbledore's Patronus many times and fought back and forth with the opponent.

Unlike in reality, it would be impossible to deal with those three guys without the help of Dumbledore and the Guardian's parchment scroll. Of course, this was only done with traps set and layouts in advance.

In the end, he was able to barely defeat the opponent by using the illusion ability that the opponent had used against him.

This was also because the Starry Sea was his home ground, and his own strength naturally restrained the opponent. In addition, he discovered a slight flaw in the opponent during countless duels, which led to his final victory.

In fact, during a battle, it is not always you who are attacking and the opponent who is defending.

Suddenly, Horn seemed to have thought of something important and hurriedly tried to lift the quilt: "Oh no, the Hogwarts Express has already left and I haven't even boarded yet."

"Mr. Nicholas, I suggest you just lie down and let me check your body first."

Just then, Madam Pomfrey, dressed in white doctor's uniform, came over.

As soon as she arrived, she began a thorough examination of Horn's body. While examining him, she did not forget to scold Dumbledore: "Hey, Headmaster Dumbledore, when you saw Mr. Nicholas wake up, why didn't you come and inform me?"

When Dumbledore heard Madam Pomfrey's question, a look of embarrassment appeared on his face.

He was indeed so busy seeing the surprise of Horn waking up, caring about his physical condition, and answering Horn's questions that he completely forgot to call Madam Pomfrey over.

So when he heard what Madam Pomfrey said, he didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Madam Pomfrey, don't blame Headmaster Dumbledore. He just arrived and saw that I was awake, so he answered my questions. That's why he didn't have time to look for you, Madam Pomfrey."

Horn was like a puppet, allowing Madam Pomfrey to manipulate his body and cooperate with her examination.

Madam Pomfrey examined him carefully and said, "I haven't told you yet, Horn. How can you stand up? This is the nth time you have been to the school infirmary, and this time it is so serious."

There was a blaming tone in her voice, and she didn't even raise her eyes, while continuing to criticize Dumbledore: "I don't know what's wrong with Hogwarts now. They can't even protect their own students."

At this point, Madam Pomfrey couldn't help but think of the miserable and tragic scene that night when Professor McGonagall brought those children to the school infirmary, and she felt heartbroken again.

Just like that, before Madam Pomfrey finished her examination, Horn and Dumbledore, like children who had done something wrong, kept "reducing" their presence at the sound of her words.

Horn could hear Madam Pomfrey's concern for him from her reproaches, so he naturally did not refute anything.

"Okay, basically nothing's wrong. The superficial injuries were healed while you were unconscious. Now there seems to be nothing wrong with your body inside and out. You are very healthy."

Madam Pomfrey said as she took the vessel from which Horn drank the potion.

"Well, if you mess up like this again next time, I'll let you stay in bed for a few more days, and I'll make the medicine even more bitter."

After saying this, before leaving, she gave Dumbledore a meaningful look.

Call ~

After seeing Madam Pomfrey walk out of the school infirmary, Horn and Dumbledore breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, as if they had just been relieved from a tense ordeal.

Noticing each other's movements, Horn and Dumbledore turned their heads to look at each other, then both laughed softly.

Dumbledore raised his shoulders and said helplessly: "You know, the school infirmary is Madam Pomfrey's territory."

"Looks like I have to go back from Master Flamel."

After what happened just now, Horn also thought that there seemed to be other ways for him to go home. When he just woke up, he hadn't fully recovered yet and made a mistake.

"No, it's too much trouble. Horn, you have helped me so much this time. I will take you home. Don't worry."

Dumbledore seemed to have put away his mischievous look, and spoke to Horn in a serious manner, and took out a piece of parchment and handed it to Horn: "So, you don't have to worry. Here, there is also this for you. You did well in the exam. You are an excellent child."

After hearing what Dumbledore said, Horn guessed that this should be his report card.

"Also, there are some things I want to tell you about the time you were unconscious."
