Chapter 40: 'Madam Pomfrey”

Chapter 40: “Madam Pomfrey”

“Is Madam Pomfrey not here?” Fred said anxiously.

“She should be here, but I’m not sure.” Sean shook his head.

During the dinner, he remembered that he had seen Madam Pomfrey, and she went out in a hurry in the middle of the dinner.

This is normal. Many students get injuries in so many ways, and Madam Pomfrey spent most of her time in the infirmary.N0v3lRealm was the platform where this chapter was initially revealed on N0v3l.B1n.

Charlotte looked serious, “Stay where you are. I’ll go in and have a look.”

“Let’s do it together. Taking care of the snakes won’t be easy if we’re all separated.” Sean suggested.

Charlotte thought about it for a while and finally nodded. Then, she took the lead and walked inside.

“Wait,” Sean stopped the others in his doubtful eyes, “We just go in like this?”

“Well...” The others looked at each other.

Sean shook his head helplessly. The improvement of dark magic is one aspect, and the students’ recklessness is also another aspect. No wonder Hogwarts couldn’t beat Nurmengard in the Triwizard Tournament.

“Fred, stand in the middle. Control the stretcher with the Levitation Charm and wait from far away.”

“George and I stand on both sides. Keep up your wands, and don’t let any of your shadows be seen.”

“Cedric, you are at the front of the team. Tell everyone immediately if there is a bad situation, and use the magic spell according to your own judgment. When you encounter a bloated Ashwinder, call me immediately.”

“Charlotte, you are the strongest. You are in charge of everything. If there is an accident, you will give priority to protecting us with the Protego Charm.” Sean quickly assigned tasks to everyone.

“Got it.” Charlotte agreed, showing a look of amazement.

After briefly forming a formation, they slowly walked into the infirmary.

There is only a small space on the first floor, and the main room of the infirmary is on the second floor. But fortunately, except for a few Ashwinders, they never saw anything else wrong.

Walking down the stairs to the corner of the second floor, Sean could already see the arched stone door at the entrance of the infirmary.

“It’s like being hit by a Stunning Charm.” Charlotte frowned.

She and Sean looked at each other, and both could see the meaning in each other’s eyes.

Someone infiltrated the castle.

Sean thought a little deeper, these Ashwinders have not been dealt yet, and he hadn’t seen Dumbledore since the dinner. It means that the principal is probably not in the school. It is most likely someone from the inside that made this commotion.

Suddenly, Professor Kettleburn is at the top of Sean’s list of suspicions. The coincidences are just too much from the Ashwinders and the Engorgement Charm.

“What should we do now?” Fred glanced anxiously at Percy on the stretcher, Madam Pomfrey was unconscious, and his brother was in a critical condition.

Someone with a spell attacked Madam Pomfrey, and they could only wait until the effect wore off.

“We can only wait,” Sean said, “When Madam Pomfrey wakes up if a professor returns to the hall, they will come to us too.”

Looking at Percy’s painful expression, Sean was ready to use the Unicorn’s Favor item.

“Why are you here? It’s very dangerous here!”

Everyone else looked surprised, but Sean’s body tensed up.

That’s Kettleburn’s voice.

The teacher of the Care of Magical Creatures class with a wand appeared at another entrance of the infirmary.

He stepped on his prosthetic limbs, pacing eagerly in place, and kept talking, “Merlin’s beard, I don’t know how those snakes got here. All of you should go back.”

Something was wrong with Ketelborn. Seeing his anxious appearance, Sean frowned.

Sean whispered to everyone, “Something’s wrong with Professor Kettleburn.”

“What’s wrong?”

“Look at him.”

Charlotte looked closely, only to realize that there was a blue light flickering in the shaded area around Kettleburn.
