109. Four-headed snake
"I have never seen such a case," said Mrs. Pomfrey, who rushed over after receiving the letter from the owl, including Professor McGonagall, Professor Snape and Professor Sputro.
"I think you are right, Mrs. Pomfrey" said Dumbledore, "we must take this out first and take a look."
"President Dumbledore, are you sure this is safe?" Professor McGonagall said, "Mr. Finrily may die." She looked at Justin Finrily on the hospital bed with concern.
"Minerva, don't worry, it seems like this is a boarding creature." Dumbledore finished speaking and looked at William holding his hands beside him.
"What do you think, Mr. Taylor?" he turned to William.
"I support your opinion. If it is a boarding organism, if it is a host, it will die if it loses its host, and then Justin should be able to return to normal." William expressed his opinion.
"So please start, Mrs. Pomfrey," said Professor Dumbledore.
Next was a minor operation. Mrs. Pomfrey fed Justin anesthetics, then she picked up a scalpel-like knife to cut open the skin on Justin's back neck, and put the creature with mucus and blood in a silver plate. Then she used a medical spell to heal Justin's wound. Then unexpected things happened, and a new squirming creature grew from Justin's back neck. William felt really disgusting.
The creature wriggled violently after being exposed to the air and finally stopped moving. Mrs. Pomfrey put it in clean water and washed it. This time everyone saw the creature clearly, or more importantly, a creature. This thing was a small snake head, just a snake head. The scene was silent and no one spoke. William had seen the portrait of this thing in the books in the Slytherin secret room. He was very shocked. He didn't expect someone to use such an evil black magic creature to deal with him. In this way, Justin's snake accent makes sense, not him, but this snake.
Mrs. Pomfrey tried to remove the newly grown snake head, but new ones grew out again.
"Merlin, what is this!" Professor Splotul sighed.
"Severus, what do you think?" Dumbledore asked Snape
"I have only seen this kind of thing in the book. It should be a four-headed snake." Although Snape was surprised, he still said in a cold tone. "It is a very, very evil black magic creature. The ancient magician used this snake to control people's thoughts. The people under control had only one thought." He turned and stared at William.
"Obviously, Mr. Fenlieri was cursed to kill Mr. Taylor," said Professor Snape. Professor McGonagall and Mrs. Pomfrey took a breath. Everyone looked at William. William had no reaction at all.
"Is there any solution?" Professor Sputraul said, "You can't send this poor child to Azkaban. He is still a student, not a criminal. We have sent one student away." Her voice was filled with anxiety.
"I think I can first find a way to anesthetize the snake head in Mr. Fenlieri's neck now, so that maybe Mr. Fenlieri can wake up." Professor Snape said
"Madame Pomfrey, can you give it a try now? This situation is urgent." Professor Dumbledore said
Mrs. Pomfrey nodded, she took a towel and sprinkled some potion on it, applying it to Justin's neck. Three minutes later, she took the towel off, and the snake head inside Justin's neck stopped squirming.
"The effect of medicine is only more than a day, and this is not a long-term solution," said Mrs. Pomfrey.
"How can you really recover from Justin Finlieri?" asked Professor Splotul.
"I'm afraid we'll kill this four-headed snake, so we need to find it first," Dumbledore said
Mrs. Pomfrey used a curse to remove anesthesia on Justin. Justin slowly woke up, and he could not remember what had just happened. Professor Splotul told him what had just happened. The boy was frightened. He apologized to William and Mrs. Pomfrey, and begged Dumbledore not to fire him.
"We will not fire you, Mr. Fenlieri, but if you do not lift your curse, we may not let you continue to live in school, so you need to think about what happened yesterday in Hogsmeade."
"Ah, I went to three brooms with Rem. Ah, we ordered butterbeer. Well, Rem went to Joko, and I was waiting for him in the bar. Yes, and then a man in a cloak came, and then he asked me if I was a student of Hogwarts." Justin said hesitantly, all of which were not very important. The professors present frowned. Now Justin was very nervous. It was really difficult to count on him to say something now.
"I think Justin needs a break, professors," William said
Dumbledore looked at William with his blue eyes looking very cunning. "I think Mr. Taylor said something," he turned to Justin and said, "Mr. Finrily, think carefully about what happened yesterday, we will see you after supper."
Dumbledore gave William enough hints that he understood what William wanted to do, and after dinner it was 7 pm, which means that William had 7 hours to do what he wanted to do.
Mrs. Pomfrey sent the professors out of the school hospital, and William and Justin were in the ward of the school hospital.
"William, I'm really sorry." Justin really doesn't want to make a revenge with William now
"Ah, don't worry about this Justin," William said with a smile, "Now you have to relax, can you do it?" Justin nodded.
"Close your eyes and take a deep breath" William said to him, Justin closed his eyes
"Soul-Sucking Thoughts" William began to check Justin's memory at Hogsmeade that day.
Time returned to the weekend of Hogsmeade, Justin was drinking butterbeer alone, staring at William who was chatting with Qiu Zhang not far away, but William was now looking in the direction of the bar private room.
"Young man, are you a student of Hogwarts?" A man in a cloak sat down, holding a bottle of brandy in his hand.
Justin looked at the man, wearing a mask,
"Who are you?"
"I'm a businessman nearby, I sell potions, you know, the business here is very good." The man said
"I'm not interested in potions," Justin said
"Oh, that's a pity. You know, my favorite thing when I was young was the potion class. I recently developed a potion that can make the other person look ugly without others knowing it." As he said that, he seemed to be happy when he saw something ridiculous.
"Make a fool?" Justin looked at William who was joking with Qiu Zhang, "How can he make a fool of himself?"
"Young man, I told you that you won't buy it. Then hasn't my secret been revealed?" The man took a sip of brandy and stood up and was about to leave.
"Wait a minute," Justin said "How much does this potion cost?"
"A Jin Jialong" the man said "and you have to make sure you don't tell me about it."
Justin gritted his teeth, "No problem"
"Then come with me, do you have any other classmates to buy? You can call them together," the man said
"No, just myself," Justin said, he didn't want others to know what he bought the potion and made William foolish?
Justin followed the masked man to a corner of Hogsmead village
"I said, how far is it?" Justin said alertly. There are no shops nearby.
"We've arrived" The man stopped in front of a dilapidated house, he turned his head and smiled at Justin, the man took off his mask, Justin collapsed to the ground in fear.
This is a face that was disfigured by fire. The eyeballs seemed to fall out. The man's eyelids were gone. His face was full of scars. He looked very scary. Justin forgot that he was a magician at this moment. He rolled and crawled and wanted to leave here. The man laughed loudly behind him.
