Harry Potter’s Strongest Senior

Chapter 283: disease spread

【Harry Potter: The Strongest Senior】【】

The 270 teachers and students in the auditorium laid down neatly on the floor. Except for the students in the lower grades who were emotionally unstable and needed comfort from the faculty and staff, everyone else lay down on the floor to rest obediently.

Seamus Finnigan, the blasting ghost, turned sideways and said to Harry and Ron beside him.

"Don't panic. My mother is a nurse at St. Mungo's. I heard her mention Bath's disease before. Now it's not a terrible disease. It's easy to treat when it's discovered early."

Ron took out two durian-stuffed beef sticks out of nowhere. Harry and Seamus shook their heads disinterestedly. They had already shown obvious symptoms, loss of appetite and listlessness.

"It's good if you don't have to go to class, but you can't go out." Ron took a bite of the beef stick, chewed it twice and found it tasteless.

The other half of the students who were not infected were also confined in the dormitory, and they were sent to the common room by the house elves in the kitchen in batches when they ate.

Sean sat by the bedroom window, watching the medical staff and the guarding Aurors walking below, feeling a sense of uneasiness in his heart.

On the first day of isolation at Hogwarts, St. Mungo's Hospital sent an eight-member medical team to station in the atrium of Hogwarts.

Except that they were free to move around, Snape and McGonagall, who were not infected, could only stay in their dormitories.

All 193 villagers in Hogsmeade village have been tested. Compared with the abnormal 90% of Hogwarts, Hogsmeade's infection rate is only 50%, which is considered low.

But compared with 30% in other countries, it is still seriously exceeding the standard.

The activities of students at Hogwarts are simple. Apart from school, they go to Hogsmeade on weekends, but the villagers of Hogsmeade go to Diagon Alley and some go to work in the Ministry of Magic.

The workload of St. Mungo's Hospital has tripled, and the family members of all patients have also been included in the scope of testing.

All the wizards in the British wizarding world add up to more than 10,000 and hundreds of people. There are a large number of infected people in the Ministry of Magic and Diagon Alley, which have the largest flow of people. In order to control the situation, Fudge issued a stay-at-home order.

Armed with a mask and gloves, Fudge is in a meeting with the dean and therapists at St. Mungo's Hospital.

"Therapeutics must be formulated as soon as possible."

The dean looked at the report in his hand, and responded, "We are already stepping up the production of the therapeutic agent, and the first batch of 100 people will be ready tomorrow morning."

"The first batch is given priority to the Ministry of Magic, followed by Diagon Alley, Hogsmeade, and Hogwarts." Fudge said.

The dean and the therapists looked at each other in blank dismay, no matter whether it was the child's priority or the starting place's priority, it was not the Ministry of Magic's turn. The therapists didn't dare to speak, and the dean put down his report tone and asked tentatively.

"Minister Fudge, the first batch should be provided to Hogwarts first?"

"I know, but the Ministry of Magic has returned to normal, so we can better control the illness of the wizarding community across the country." Fudge was wearing a mask, and he didn't know what expression he had when he said this.

"That's right, Minister Fudge is thinking long-term." The dean's flattery was just right.

Those students in Hogwarts who were not infected, their parents saw that Bass disease had spread in the wizarding world on a large scale from the "Daily Prophet", and the anxious parents ran to Hogwarts to take their children away.

"Dumbledore, there are already more than a dozen parents of students at the gate asking to take the students home." Filch said out of breath.

It is worth mentioning that Filch was able to move freely at Hogwarts and help the medical staff take care of the patients, because Bath disease cannot infect Squibs and Muggles.

"Argus, please tell the parents that children are safe in school isolation, please rest assured." Dumbledore said.

The reason why Dumbledore didn't let the students leave was because he was afraid that this was what Voldemort wanted.

However, when Filch returned to the gate, some Aurors had chased away the parents surrounding the gate.

"Minister Fudge has ordered that all teachers and students are not allowed to leave the school," said an Auror.

On the second day of isolation, among the infected students, some became seriously ill. Astoria and more than 40 others had elevated body temperature, weakness in limbs, vomiting and diarrhea, magic power could no longer be output normally, and pupils began to slacken.

"It's so uncomfortable." Ginny lay on the floor, sweating profusely.

"Nurse, I'm so hot." Cassius murmured.

The therapist Smethyk said solemnly, "The time from the first stage of the disease to the second stage is too short."

"Director, Hogwarts' Bath disease has surpassed previous cases in terms of transmission mode. Could it be that the germs have evolved? If so, is the old treatment still used?" Pai asked worriedly.

Smethyk was silent for a while, and then said, "Go to Case No. 1 to draw a tube of blood, and return to St. Mungo's for a comprehensive examination."

Pai nodded, ordered the nurse to draw Astoria's blood, and immediately left Hogwarts with Smethyke.

The auditorium was still very orderly on the first day, but only one night later, there were groans, howls, and cries mixed together, and the child who got worse was suffering from a splitting headache caused by a high fever.

The nurses are so busy that they do their best to give the children medicine, cool down the temperature and reduce the pain.

More than 50 patients from the Ministry of Magic have already been allocated the first batch of therapeutic agents, and the second batch will not be ready until tomorrow.

Sentence expert, Rita Skeeter, a popular reporter of the "Daily Prophet", upholds the spirit of a media person fighting on the front line. She runs back and forth at the gate of Hogwarts, outside Diagon Alley, the hall of the Ministry of Magic, Dean St. Mungo's outdoor~lightnovelpub.net~ With her superb professional skills of catching wind and shadows, embellishing them, taking them out of context, and fabricating them out of thin air, she unexpectedly exposed the inside story that the Ministry of Magic gave priority to the use of the first batch of healing agents.

"Fudge did something stupid." Dumbledore said sharply, looking at the newspaper.

As soon as the report was issued, the hall of the Ministry of Magic was crowded with angry parents of the students. Fudge couldn't bear the pressure and had to come forward to explain.

"I fully understand how parents worry about their children, but please believe in the Ministry of Magic and St. Mungo. Bath syndrome is not a terrible disease for modern wizards. Infected children also have medical staff in Hogwarts. Good care."

However, when he said this, he had already received news that the condition of the student patient had started to worsen, and Fudge was using a lie to cover up his responsibility.

The uninfected students who were isolated in the dormitory didn't know anything. They were obviously worried about their classmates, but they couldn't even get out of the dormitory.

"This is much more serious than imagined." Sean said in shock.

Sean, who had no news from the outside world, had no choice but to slip out of the dormitory last night and meet Peeves in the corridor. At Sean's request, Peeves agreed to inform Sean about the situation in the auditorium.

"Is Voldemort really crazy? Using such a vicious trick on the students."
