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.
Chapter 71: Chapter 71: The visit to the infirmary and the end of the course (Edited)
While the Ravenclaw Quidditch team and the Gryffindor Quidditch team fought, Tom was recovering from his injuries.
In fact, he woke up with his wounds healed and was feeling quite well overall, but Madam Pomfrey insisted that he not go out and stay in the hospital for observation.
Tom, being a man, was very obedient, so he didn't insist and stayed in the school hospital in peace. He wanted to draw more cards, but every time he moved his hand to the draw screen, he had a bad feeling that if he drew a card, something bad would happen. So Tom gave up on the idea.
But even though he couldn't leave the hospital, the visiting conditions were much more relaxed.
Then Hermione saw Tom again, two days later.
She ran to Tom's bedside immediately, looking at him with concern and tears in her eyes, "Are you okay? I've been worried for two days, but Madam Pomfrey won't let anyone visit..."
Tom patted the back of her hand gently, "I'm fine..."
His words were interrupted, as Hermione reached out and hugged him.
"Tom, I thought you...the whole school has been talking about you being hurt for the past two days, what happened after Professor McGonagall took you away that day?"
All Tom could sense was a fragrant smell in his nose, and for a moment he couldn't organize his words. Hermione noticed the difference in Tom's face and immediately released him, holding back, though a slight blush appeared on his cheeks.
Tom sighed in relief and regaining his senses, told Hermione everything that had happened. What had happened, it wasn't as complicated as the rumors of his companions had suggested, but it was still frightening enough.
Hermione's eyes widened in surprise when she heard about the traps. When she heard that Professor Snape had come up with a logical reasoning question, she was so excited that she pulled out a quill and asked Tom to repeat it back to her.
When Tom finished writing the question, Hermione looked at it for a while, frowned, took out her quill and wrote on the paper for a few minutes, and finally said to Tom, somewhat unsure of herself, "The little one I carry forward? The round one let them back up?"
"That's right-"
"Oh, then you've written this condition wrong, it should be like this..."
Tom: "..."
He thought carefully, and it seemed to him that he didn't remember that condition very well, but Hermione's words made more sense.
Smart people are scary!
When Hermione learned that Quirrell was behind the Philosopher's Stone, she exclaimed even more.
"Harry and Ron and the others asked me for details! I didn't expect it to be Professor Quirrell trying to steal the Philosopher's Stone!" Hermione covered her mouth and, after a moment, burst out laughing again, "Harry and the others were arguing about how Professor Snape was hiding his identity... I told you Professor Dumbledore couldn't go wrong with anyone, Snape may be a hard man, but he's still good overall!"
When Tom told her about the battle with Quirrell, Hermione was even more nervous and gasped.
"So you finally got the Philosopher's Stone?"
Tom shook his head, he wanted it too much to get the Mirror's approval.
Hermione, after hearing it all, couldn't help but say, "Gee, how could Dumbledore... I mean, they shouldn't have sent you, they almost killed you, didn't they? If Professor Snape had been sent..."
"Then I'd probably fight Professor McGonagall," Tom couldn't help but chuckle at the thought of Professor McGonagall and Professor Snape teaming up to get through the levels together, "And I know these levels a little better, to make sure Professor McGonagall gets there as soon as possible."
At that moment, Madam Pomfrey burst in and ejected Hermione. "Taking an extra hour! You must go." She was very determined.
Behind Hermione was Dumbledore.
Dumbledore, wearing his trademark spectacles and starry wizard's robes, sat in front of Tom's bed with a smile.
"Good morning, Professor," Tom exited.
"Hello, Tom."
The name seemed to bring back some memories for Dumbledore, a hint of relief appeared on his face, but he quickly hid it.
"Quirrell's teacher, is it Voldemort?" Tom asked knowingly.
Dumbledore looked at Tom with interest and confirmed his statement, "Don't worry, the Philosopher's Stone has been destroyed by me."
This statement confirmed Dumbledore's intention to use the Philosopher's Stone to catch Voldemort.
"In fact, I should have given you the Philosopher's Stone, but if it had not been destroyed, Voldemort would have known and put you in danger instead." Dumbledore spoke calmly, as if he were talking about a trivial matter. In his words, destroying a Philosopher's Stone that could turn stone into gold was as easy as destroying a piece of paper.
However, he pulled a small leather pouch from his pocket.
"It's the remains of the Philosopher's Stone, you can do some research on it; it's not very useful, but it has good research value."
After handing the bag to Tom, Dumbledore left.
The system also displayed a message: [Received the remains of the Philosopher's Stone].
...
The next ten weeks seemed to go by in the blink of an eye, and Tom was so glad he didn't have the pressure of final exams, and all the teachers-except Snape-said Tom got top marks in the exams, and Professor Flitwick even hinted that he might sit for the second-year exam.
Tom tried and, predictably, failed: he still hadn't tried hard enough and barely passed.
For the final ceremony, the Great Dining Hall was decorated in the colors blue and bronze, representing Ravenclaw, to celebrate the breaking of Slytherin's seven-year monopoly on the House Cup.
All the professors and janitors were present in the Great Dining Hall, and Dumbledore himself presented the Cup. Snape could be seen smiling awkwardly from the staff table, while Professor McGonagall smiled as if Gryffindor had won the Cup.
After the ceremony, the results were soon announced, with Hermione getting first place in her year and Tom coming second, but it didn't matter, they both had straight A's on the report card.
And Tom decided to do one thing before he left school.
[Dungeon: Battle of the Realm]
[Reward: a large amount of magic stones and a booster to the Boggart ring].
He had activated a dungeon earlier, but didn't enter. With nothing else to do, he looked at the dungeon rewards and decided to clear the dungeon before leaving the school.
The rewards of this dungeon are extremely rich, not to mention the magic stones, but the strengthening of the Ring! The duplicate rewards partially made up for the shortcomings of one of the transformations, and the system was generous enough to let Tom check what was wrong with his transformation for free. Tom took a look, and sure enough, it was pretty much the same as his previous analysis: the undead bird has no immortality, the three-headed dog has only one head that moves at a time, the fire dragon is juvenile and can't fly, and the witch...
To choose one of them and make up for it, Tom went to the hallway and, after making sure that the copy was not life-threatening, put his hand on the helmet.
