Chapter 69: Chapter 69: Tom's Rewards (Edited)
"Come on, let's have a fair one-on-one duel!" Quirrell's eyes shone brightly: he finally got rid of that annoying vicious dog.
"You're next, Minerva McGonagall!" Quirrell said, pointing at Professor McGonagall.
"You bastard!" Professor McGonagall felt a burst of anger, she had guessed the identity of the three-headed dog, though she didn't know how she had done it, but now he had been killed by Quirrell!
The two fought fiercely, spells bounced off each other, filling the ground with bumps.
But neither of them noticed that the rightmost head of the three-headed dog on the ground blinked, while a blue light shone from the mouth of the middle dog.
"Bang!"
An Occamy appeared out of nowhere, quickly turning around Quirrell's calf, then wrapped around his entire body, flinging Quirrell into the air in one fluid motion, and in less than a second, Professor McGonagall seized the opportunity.
"(Diffindo)!"
Her spell struck Quirrell in the chest, splitting him wide open, exposing his red heart to the air, which was beating wildly.
Despite the severe wound, Quirrell did not die immediately, but was incapacitated. He slowly fell backwards, and Professor McGonagall did not continue attacking, because she saw, and Quirrell saw, that a huge shadow, covering Quirrell's body, a giant dog covered in blood, opened its bloody jaws on Quirrell, showing its white dagger-like teeth.
Quirrell's head was completely engulfed by the bloody maw, and then....
Crack!
Tom thought he heard a roar of anguish and rage, and then a cloud of smoke billowed past, with a distorted human face looming in the cloud. But soon, the cloud disappeared and all was calm again.

But Tom didn't linger here, he looked at Professor McGonagall, their eyes met and the atmosphere was a bit awkward, so Tom ran off, like a husky that was caught making a mistake.
Professor McGonagall held out a hand, but finally swallowed her words: never mind, let's not break the ice.
The potion was still in effect. Tom crossed the flames and then transformed back into his human form in the room where the potions had been placed. The moment he did so, he nearly fainted from the pain: his left shoulder caved in and his bones were fractured, while his right shoulder suddenly suffered a penetrating wound.
At the same time, he had many wounds of various sizes on his body. He endured the pain and pulled out a teapot from under the table, and then opening his mouth, a blue light flashed, and the Occamy was back in the teapot.
He hadn't felt it during the battle, but now that he had come to his senses, there was no part of his body that didn't hurt. To ease the pain, he switched to the title "Demonic Dog" and it had some effect, reducing the pain a bit.
After some aftercare, Tom leaned back on the table and began to close his eyes.
At the same time, he opened the system panel, clicked on [Draw], and then chose all ten in a row.
To Tom's surprise, there was a blue glow mixed with gold.
Ten consecutive draws!
Tom was so excited he almost jumped.
The three colored shooting stars crossed the system screen and Tom clicked on them one by one.
Blue, blue, gold!
A man wrapped in a large turban appeared in front of Tom.
Tom: (ΩДΩ)!
Ten in a row and he got the new character directly!
Is this how times change? Tom is excited.
But Tom clearly didn't see what was coming, as he continued to hit a streamer, and then two more hoods appeared in quick succession on the ninth and tenth shots.
Tom: "!!!!"
A flurry of ten consecutive draws, and out come three Professor Quirrell....
Tom looked at his 9+ Black Magic talent and pondered: he seemed to understand something.
So he made ten more consecutive draws, but this time the odds were much more normal, all nine blue and one purple.
"After a little luck, one will fall to ruin." Tom remembered the words the card draw players warned the younger generation, and he had a bad feeling in his gut that something bad might happen if he kept making draws. So he abandoned the idea of drawing any more cards.
But the three Quirrell professors also gave Tom a very rich reward.
In general, with the exception of a few characters, a five-star can add a bit of talent, distributed according to the characteristics of the five-star character. Professor Trelawney, for example, has no skills other than Divination, so she only offers the Divination talent.
Quirrell's spells were excellent, and under Voldemort's tutelage, dark magic was even better. So Tom gained a spell casting talent and two black magic talent points, which naturally translates to [Black Magic Level 0 (0/100)] in the Theory of Knowledge column and a skill.
[Avada Kedavra Level 0 (0/100)]
Tom looked at this spell and shook his head. Unforgivable spells may seem powerful, but there are certain conditions that must be met for them to be truly lethal. And relying too much on dark magic, which could warp your soul, should be used with caution.
Besides, Tom's level 0 Avada Kedavra spell could only cause at most a nosebleed.
Tom opened his eyes and saw scattered points of light floating in front of him, Tom reached out and made contact with them, and suddenly fragmented memories came to Tom's mind: memories of Quirrell.
He saw in these fragments how Voldemort had taught Quirrell to use the Unforgivable Curse, and he also saw some advice on how to use dark magic....
Tom had acquired some knowledge of dark magic.
At that moment, Professor McGonagall also crossed the fire wall and entered the room. She did not mention the three-headed dog or the Occamy, but took Tom straight to the school hospital.
Chapter 70: Chapter 70: Treatment (Edited)
Professor McGonagall took Tom to the school hospital and met Madame Pomfrey, the Hogwarts school doctor.
Madame Pomfrey's full name is Poppy Pomfrey. Although the students call her "the school doctor," her specific title is head nurse at Hogwarts Hospital. The first thing many people think of when they think of the school hospital is "not professional enough." In fact, in most people's eyes, there is no trustworthy hospital that is not a tertiary hospital.
The Hogwarts school hospital is highly specialized and well equipped to treat most common illnesses and magical wounds, even if the bones in an arm disappear, Madam Pomfrey can easily regrow them. Only in the most serious cases, such as a powerful black magic curse, are patients sent to St. Mungo's Hospital for additional treatment for magical wounds.
Madame Pomfrey is an elegantly dressed, middle-aged woman with a kind face. She was dressed in a Nightingale nurse's uniform from the 1860s, complete with top hat, high collar and long apron.
She first examined Tom's wounds and then cast a few healing spells on him, healing the minor wounds, but the shoulder wound was too severe to be healed with ordinary healing magic.
Madam Pomfrey looked at Tom's shoulder and frowned, "How did you hurt yourself so badly? The right side is a penetrating wound, the left side is shattered," she looked at Professor McGonagall, "Did a student do it to you?"
Tom and Professor McGonagall shook their heads simultaneously. Madam Pomfrey saw that they had no intention of talking, so she asked no further questions. Madam Pomfrey rarely asked questions, and when Ron had been bitten by Norbert before, she hadn't bothered to find out where the wound came from, even if Ron's claim of a "dog bite" was outrageous.
Madam Pomfrey looked at Tom's wounds and said, "Of course I can fix you up, but boy, you're going to be in a lot of pain," she said, looking grim, "But you're definitely going to have to stay here tonight, not just today, you'll be in the hospital for a while."
He prepared pajamas for Tom, and then began to explain the procedure to heal him, "The bones in your shoulder are so fragmented that there is hardly any bone left, they are all broken into small fragments, some embedded in ligaments, muscles, nerves, and almost impossible to restore with magic spells, so first he used magic to remove the big pieces, then I use magic potions to remove the small fragments, and finally then I use magic to remove the small fragments and finally let the bone grow back. As for penetrating wounds, it is a minor problem, and can be solved with a simple ointment."
"It's a very painful process, my boy, but it's the quickest and most effective way, and leaves no residual effects." Madam Pomfrey was very frank in telling Tom what was going to happen to him, and Tom accepted it without reservation.
Madam Pomfrey then took out her wand, twirled it twice and pointed it at Tom's shoulder, who experienced a strange and unpleasant sensation, as if something had been taken out of him. Apparently, all the large bone fragments had been removed from his shoulder and Tom's pain had lessened considerably.
To be honest, if it hadn't been for the title of "Devil Dog," he would have been rolling around in pain.
Madam Pomfrey, the school doctor, gave Tom two more doses of a special ointment, one to rub on his left shoulder. After applying it, Tom felt as if he had applied safflower oil after exercising, and his entire shoulder was warm. He applied another dose to the wound that had been penetrated, and the sensation of this ointment caused itching.
Madam Pomfrey watched him apply the ointment and then left, as she marveled at Tom's injuries: she had never seen a young wizard who could injure himself like that.
Of course, she also forced Tom to go to bed early and refused a whole series of requests to visit. In the school hospital, Madam Pomfrey's word was the absolute authority, even if Dumbledore came. The headmaster's authority was only worth about five minutes of visiting time.
Throughout the night, Tom suffered from a warm, tingling sensation, and probably his delusion was that he could even see smoke coming from his shoulder, the ointment completely disintegrated countless bone fragments, and new flesh could be seen growing on the penetrating wound.
Finally, after an unknown length of time, the sensation of heat subsided and Tom fell asleep. When he awoke the next morning, his body no longer ached, except that he could not move an arm at all, or even feel it.
The bone in his left shoulder had been completely removed.
Madam Pomfrey came in the morning and was very pleased with Tom's condition. She gave Tom a magic potion and made him drink it, which, on entering his mouth and throat, seemed to burn and made him cough.
After drinking it, Tom fell asleep again. But a few hours later, he preferred to be unconscious, as he woke up in pain, with what seemed like a million shards of glass cutting into his shoulder, even with the help of the title, it wasn't pleasant.
He couldn't help but grunt. The sound attracted Madam Pomfrey.
"It's good that it hurts, the bones are growing. Here, drink this, it will make you feel better." With that, she brought another potion and poured it for Tom.
The potion had a very good analgesic and sleeping effect, and Tom was soon asleep again. His injuries had taken a big hit. First of all, Hermione, who had been so worried when Professor McGonagall had taken Tom away and never returned, had almost fainted.
When she finally found Professor McGonagall, she learned that Tom was in the hospital. If Hermione had not been so respectful of the teachers, especially Professor McGonagall, she would have argued with her.
She later tried to visit him in the hospital, but Madam Pomfrey sent her away.
As news of Tom's injury spread, the second person to go into crisis was Captain Ritchie: Tom's injury had caused him to miss the all-important Quidditch match against Gryffindor!
The winner of the match between the two teams would decide the Quidditch Cup.
But even though the Batsman, Tom, was injured, Ravenclaw still had a full team, unlike Gryffindor, who would have been defeated if Harry had been injured.
The two teams faced each other and the match ended in a draw! Harry caught the Golden Snitch, but Ravenclaw was 150 points ahead. So it was goal difference in the previous match, and Gryffindor won the match because they had caught the Snitch more times and therefore had a greater point difference.
After several years, Gryffindor finally regained the Quidditch Cup. However, the House Cup is still up in the air: even with the Quidditch Cup, Gryffindor has yet to close the gap on Ravenclaw; after all, Ravenclaw has two relentless question-answering machines.
