The Day of the Draw at Hogwarts

Chapter 209 The end of the school year (3)

After breakfast, this explosive news flew to every corner of Hogwarts as if it had wings, making the little wizard who was late for breakfast feel heartbroken: This kind of epic giant melon will last a lifetime. I don’t know how many I can meet. Then, the news flew to the outside world and spread throughout the magical world.

The "Daily Prophet" reported the news with a front-page headline, and also added an additional report in the "Evening Prophet" that day. However, the real Lockhart is still out of contact, and there is no concrete news yet. This is also Let Lockhart fans have a little unrealistic fantasy: maybe it is fake news? Maybe it was a malicious frame-up by a vicious murderer?

As the turmoil outside intensified, Professor Sprout's mandrake matured. Madam Pomfrey and Professor Dumbledore are already preparing to prepare the basilisk antidote, and Tom in the ward may wake up at any time.

That night, two sneaky figures appeared in the corridor outside the Hogwarts hospital.

Fred and George, naturally.

Ever since they learned the news that Professor "Lockhart" had escaped that morning, they had been staring closely at the Marauder's Map in their hands, trying to find Tom Yoder hiding in the castle.

As a result, Yodel-san seemed to have disappeared from the world.

Until tonight, the name Tom appeared in the school hospital, and at the same time, Lockhart, who had been hanging up there, also disappeared. The twins took notice and hurried to the school hospital. The reason they want to find Tom is also very simple: they want the answers to the final exam! Chat with him by the way, after all, this move is so cool and interesting.

They had this plan before, but before they could execute it, Tom disappeared.

Fred and George pushed open the door and saw Tom lying there on the innermost hospital bed. They tiptoed to his bedside, but before they could make any further move, the lights in the ward suddenly turned on: Madam Pomfrey was standing at the door, looking like her anger meter was full.

"What are you doing here?" She walked into the ward, and only then did Fred and the two of them see clearly that Madam Pomfrey was holding a bowl in her hand, followed by several professors and Dumbledore. She stood at the door, placed the bowl on a cabinet, and at the same time took something out of the cabinet: a feather duster.

Even Fred and George, who were experienced in many battles, were confused when encountering this situation. They didn't know what to say for a moment.

Could it be that Dumbledore and the others said: Tom lying on the bed is the man who plays Lockhart. Are they here to ask Tom for answers to their final exam?

Although they like to play pranks, they cannot betray their classmates. And instead of saying such words, it would be better to be imprisoned.

Brother Fred met the professors here tonight because of their bad luck. They naturally looked at the Marauder's Map before going out. What they saw was that the deans and Madam Pomfrey were all staying in the principal's office, wondering what they were doing.

Little did they know that several people were watching Dumbledore preparing the antidote to petrification.

After Dumbledore finished preparing the antidote, they naturally had to come to the school hospital to give Tom the medicine, so they met Fred George who was visiting the ward at night.

"We...we are..." George was a little stuck. If Truth or Dare was also popular in the wizarding world, then he would probably have a good excuse. However, even Muggles don't play this game very much now, so he could only say : "We're curious about Tom's condition."

This reason is in line with their characters. The two brothers are the kind of people who can run into the school hospital at night just out of curiosity. But the consequences are...

Madam Pomfrey rushed towards them with a feather duster, and before they could react, the feather duster quickly fell on them.

"Get out of here!" She whipped Fred and George and drove them out of the ward. The twins scurried out of the door with their heads in arms. The other professors just stood aside quietly, watching Madam Pomfrey disperse the twins.

After Madam Pomfrey was done with it, Dumbledore personally stepped forward and gave Tom the antidote.

The person on the bed is the real Tom. Since running away, he had been hiding in the Room of Requirement, counting the days until the day when Professor Sprout expected the mandrake to mature. After the mandrake matured, he moved Lockhart to his office in advance, and then asked Hermione to "petrify all" on him. Now he is in a state of stiffness after being petrified.

If he doesn't break the curse or take a potion to remove petrification, he will remain in this state for a long time. He lay quietly on the bed, listening to Madam Pomfrey beating Fred and George, and listening to Dumbledore coming, and Dumbledore opened his mouth and poured in the antidote.

bitter!

This was Tom's first reaction. The whole-body restraint spell on him was lifted almost immediately. He rolled off the bed and retched, trying to resolve the bitter feeling in his mouth. Tom's actions had no effect. As soon as the bitter taste in his mouth faded a little, the sour taste came up. After the sour taste, there was spicy...

It felt as if Dumbledore had given Tom not a bowl of medicine, but a bowl of seasoning with distinct layers.

"Get out first!" Dumbledore waved his hand and drove out the professors who were trying to see what happened - it was also the first time for the professors to see a petrified person revived, and they all wanted to get closer to see the details. As a result, he was mercilessly kicked out by Dumbledore.

Despite their reluctance, the professors and Madam Pomfrey exited the ward.

Dumbledore sat beside the bed, smiling lovingly, watching Tom "reflect" on the antidote.

When Tom felt better, he patted Tom on the shoulder.

"Are you feeling better? Study hard and prepare for the exam! If you fail, you will have to repeat the grade -" He just said this simple sentence and left the ward. Only half a bowl of antidote was left on the bedside, emitting a strange smell.

The next day, Tom returned to school and caused a small stir, but that was all - his incident had gone out of style! The heat of the secret room has passed. It was only after everyone saw Tom in the auditorium that they suddenly realized: Oh, yes, it seems that one of our classmates has been petrified all the time?

"So Tom, how does it feel after being petrified?" Tom's roommate Michael Corner asked him curiously.

"It's like a dream." Tom answered the roommates' questions with a smile.
