Chapter 644 Awakening

it is finally over!

Albert excitedly checked the completion of the task on the panel. After making sure that Tom Riddle and his "little snake" were completely on the street, he felt relaxed all over.

 The attack did put a lot of pressure on Albert.

　　Since he is a famous Muggle wizard in the school, he is at the top of the attack list. He is the most suitable target for Tom Riddle to kill monkeys, police, and chickens.

God knows which day the basilisk will come out and attack him.

If you were petrified, you would still have a lucky escape. If you lost your life inexplicably like Myrtle, you wouldn't even have room to cry.

 Well, it’s all over!

When Albert walked out of Professor McGonagall's office, he saw Fred and George waiting for him in the corridor. Both of these guys looked at him with evil eyes, obviously still brooding over what happened when he used a coma spell to knock them down.

 “This matter is best kept secret.”

Before the twins could cause trouble for him, Albert took the lead and said, "You don't want Ginny to get into trouble, so it's best to keep this matter a secret. Just publicize that Harry entered the Chamber of Secrets, killed the basilisk, and rescued the basilisk." Ginny was kidnapped by a monster."

 The twins were stunned, but soon understood the meaning of Albert's words.

That's right. If other students knew that the attack was related to Ginny, Ginny's life in school would probably become very difficult.

"Remember to tell Harry, especially Ron." Albert did not forget to remind him, "Don't let them talk nonsense. If they talk too much, they will easily slip up."

“Speaking of which, Lockhart could actually eavesdrop on your private conversation with Hermione?”

 “It was an accident.”

 “Yes, unexpected.”

 Fred and George echoed in unison. They felt that the unlucky Lockhart was probably thrown out as bait by Albert, but the mysterious man didn't take the bait.

"Where are you going?"

 The two of them asked in confusion when they saw that Albert was still walking forward.

 “Go to the campus hospital.” Albert said without thinking.

Before leaving, Fred and George did not forget to turn around and joke: "You'd better hurry up, otherwise everyone will eat up all the delicious food. Don't complain then."

"see you later."

When Albert turned into the campus hospital, Madam Pomfrey was handing a cup of sleeping potion to Ginny, and then talking to the Weasleys next to her about Ginny's condition.

"Mr. Anderson, what's the matter?" Madam Pomfrey asked in surprise.

"I heard something happened to Mr. Lockhart? Come and visit him, and also visit Hermione." Albert nodded slightly towards Mr. and Mrs. Weasley and asked, "Is Ginny okay?"

"Ginny was just a little frightened," said Mrs. Weasley. "Thanks to you, if it hadn't been for you..."

 “This is all Harry’s fault.” Albert said humbly.

"Anyway, you can come to my house to play when you have time during the summer vacation." The Weasleys gave Albert a hug each and left Hogwarts School together.

"I heard that you found out the real culprit of the attack." Madam Pomfrey winked at Albert and said, "Everyone will thank you for your contribution to the school. Minerva told me about the school not long ago. It may be closed as a result.”

Albert looked at Lockhart, who was sleeping soundly on the hospital bed, and asked, changing the topic.

"The situation is very bad. Someone used a powerful forgetting spell on him. It not only caused permanent damage to Professor Lockhart's brain, but also made him forget everything." Madam Pomfrey shook her head. Said: "He even forgot how to talk, forgot how to walk, he was just like a newborn child. Oh my God! I have never seen such bad symptoms. I'm afraid he will have to stay in St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Maladies." For the rest of my life.”

"The curse of the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor is really terrible." Albert unceremoniously put the blame on the curse. "Now that I think about it carefully, Professor Brod is so wise that he resigned early and completely recovered from the curse. If he quits, maybe Professor Lockhart should resign as soon as possible."

Madam Pomfrey said nothing, but agreed with Albert's opinion.

 There is no way, the last three Defense Against the Dark Arts professors have ended worse than the last.

 Ronald Smith is missing and there is no news yet.

Professor Quirrell was completely wiped out.

Lockhart is the worst. He was completely reduced to zero by the spell. He even lost the ability to speak. He is even unable to take care of himself. I am afraid he will only be an idiot for the rest of his life.

"By the way, this is a powerful recovery agent made from mandrake roots. It was originally prepared for myself, but I guess I won't use it now. It should be able to make petrified people return to normal in advance." Albert said He took out a bottle of potion from his pocket and handed it to Madam Pomfrey.

"Did you prepare it for yourself?" Madam Pomfrey was a little surprised and felt incredible, but she still reached out to take the potion handed over by Albert and opened it to confirm the effect of the potion.

If you want to wait for the mandrake roots to mature and then make a powerful restorative agent that can lift petrification, you need to wait until at least mid-June.

 It is naturally a good thing to be able to recover people who were petrified by the basilisk.

"Where did you get the potion?" Madam Pomfrey found that this bottle of powerful restorative potion was of high quality.

"I know Mr. Huttok Dagworth, he is a famous potion master." Albert explained: "I asked him to help make a powerful recovery potion just in case."

"However, I'm afraid this bottle of potion can only awaken one person." Madam Pomfrey probably understood who Albert wanted to lift the petrification curse.

 “I still have it here.”

Albert did not put Madam Pomfrey in trouble and took out two bottles of powerful recovery potion from his pocket.

Madam Pomfrey's expression was a little strange. She didn't expect that Albert was so well prepared.

"How should I make her drink the potion?" Albert came to Hermione's bedside, preparing to complete the task of waking Hermione up.

Looking at Hermione's face, Albert suddenly felt like he was awakening Sleeping Beauty.

 "Should... give her a kiss?" he thought in a wicked way.

 The romantic story of a prince and a princess.

“Just put the potion slowly on your lips,” Madam Pomfrey said to Albert, as she was doing now, putting the powerful restorative potion on Colin Creevey.

Albert followed Madam Pomfrey's example and dropped the powerful restorative potion on Hermione's lips.

 However, the effect of the medicine seems not obvious.

Albert poked Hermione's cheek with his finger, still stiff.

“It will take some time for the powerful restorative to fully take effect,” Madam Pomfrey explained.

 A few minutes later, Hermione blinked and recovered from her petrification. When I first woke up, I was startled by the familiar face so close to me.

 “Albert!”

Hermione almost hit Albert in the face.

"Shh! If you act like this, Madam Pomfrey will kick me out of the campus hospital." Albert put his hand to his lips, made a shushing gesture, and said with a smile to Hermione who sat up with her cheeks flushed. , "The powerful recovery potion works well."

"I saw..." Hermione recalled what she saw before she was petrified. She couldn't help but reach out to cover her chest, and her whole body couldn't help but tremble. "I saw a basilisk. I thought I was going to be killed by the basilisk's eyes." died."

"It was Nick who saved you, and he was also petrified." Albert said lightly. "However, you don't have to worry now. The basilisk has been killed by Harry, and I have found the culprit. Hogwarts will soon return to its former peace. The danger has passed."

Albert's voice seemed to have incredible magic, making Hermione calm down again.

Harry and Ron will be delighted to have you restored and are planning a small party. Albert turned his head and asked Madam Pomfrey, "Can Miss Granger attend?" "

“You wait over there for a few minutes, and I’ll give her a thorough check-up.”

“I know you have a lot of doubts, don’t worry, I will tell you everything you want to know.”
