Hogwarts: Voldemort, don't stop me from studying

Chapter 100 Infirmary

Madam Pomfrey's healing magic was very advanced, and the infirmary was well stocked with medicines. After drinking a few bottles of potion, the dragon and unicorn, which were originally in pain from their wounds, calmed down and soon fell into a deep sleep.

Professor McGonagall was going to temporarily place the dragon in the Quidditch field, and she was busy setting up a barrier with spells around it to prevent students from accidentally entering and being hurt by the dragon. The unicorn was able to rest near Professor Sprout's greenhouse, and the fat witch happily prepared many berries and fresh oat grass for the unicorn.

Other professors also rushed over after hearing the news. It was the first time that Hogwarts was so lively late at night.

"Fire Dragon!"

A weird old man rushed to Norbert with shining eyes. He was covered with scars, and his two legs and one arm were wooden prostheses. At this moment, he used his remaining hand to stroke Norbert's black wings and said excitedly, "Hagrid, you should have told me that you had a dragon!"

Professor McGonagall, who had set up the barrier, came over and said angrily with a straight face, "Professor Kettleburn, privately raising a dragon is a serious violation of the law!"

The anger that everyone in Hogwarts feared seemed to have no effect on the little old man. He smiled cunningly and said, "Don't be so rigid, Minerva! How can anyone illegally raise a dragon? It was clearly a wild baby dragon living in the Forbidden Forest that broke into Hogwarts because it was hungry. Our kind gamekeeper just fed it some food! It's not illegal at all..."

"Oh...it can be done this way!" Hagrid tapped his palm in sudden realization.

"Please don't encourage illegal activities, Professor Kettleburn! Don't forget that you are still on probation!" Professor McGonagall was very serious at first, but she started laughing as she spoke.

"Yes, yes, sixty-second probation period. But it doesn't matter, I'm about to retire anyway." Professor Kettleburn spread his hands and stood in front of the dragon again and asked, "Does the child have a name, Hagrid?"

"His name is Norbert!" said Hagrid proudly. "I saw him come out of his shell with my own eyes!"

"——he?" Professor Kettleburn was stunned for a moment, then looked carefully twice and smiled: "It should be 'she'... This is a little girl!"

"What?" Hagrid was surprised and moved forward, and Professor Kettleburn began to teach him how to distinguish the gender of the baby dragon.

"In that case, isn't it a bit inappropriate to call her Norbert?" Hagrid quickly entered the "silly dad with a daughter" state, as if he was worried that his precious daughter would be discriminated against because of her name.

"Why not Norberta?" Professor Kettleburn suggested. "It sounds like a girl's name, and it's cute."

"Oh, you two, it took me a long time to find you!" Madam Pomfrey suddenly appeared, staring at Wade and Harry and said hurriedly: "Come with me - Dumbledore said you might need a bottle of tranquilizer?"

"No, we weren't frightened," said Vader.

But Madam Pomfrey didn't listen at all. She took the two to the school infirmary and stuffed a bottle of tranquilizer into each of their hands without saying anything. She said, "Drink the medicine and go to bed early. It's only a few hours before dawn."

Wade took a look and realized that this was the potion he had brewed himself!

"Is Dumbledore back?" Harry asked hurriedly when he saw her leaving.

"How should I know, child?" said Madam Pomfrey.

"But you said - he told you we needed a tranquilizer?" Harry pressed on.

"Dumbledore sent his Patronus to inform me."

"What is a Patronus——"

"Drink the potion and go to sleep, child." Under Madam Pomfrey's oppressive smile and gaze, the two had to drink the sedative in one gulp, and sleepiness quickly came over them.

……

The next morning, although no one had deliberately publicized it, it seemed that all the students in the school knew what had happened last night. They all ran to watch the dragon and the unicorn. After the SSC members went around, they learned that Wade and Harry were also involved, so they ran to the school infirmary to find them.

"I heard someone attacked the dragon!" Hermione rushed in and said worriedly, "Are you okay... did you run into that guy?"

"Never mind the dragon, I—" Harry looked around and said, "I have a secret to tell you about the attacker last night—"

"Wait, Harry." Michael suddenly interrupted him, walked to the door, looked out, and then closed the door.

Ryan reacted and walked to the window to make sure no one was standing outside and eavesdropping.

Vader asked, "Did you see that guy?"

"Yes, I got there a little earlier than you did. I saw what that man looked like. He was..." Harry shuddered uncontrollably and said, "Professor Quirrell."

The room suddenly fell into silence.

Harry was a little anxious, and said hurriedly: "Maybe you think I'm lying - but no! In fact, I overheard it a few weeks ago - in the woods! It was the day of the Quidditch match and Gryffindor won! I heard Snape threatening Quirrell to cooperate with him in order to steal the Philosopher's Stone hidden on the fourth floor! Last night, they were the first to rush to the Forbidden Forest!"

Theo asked, "I heard Professor McGonagall arrived first?"

"You weren't there, so you didn't see it - Professor McGonagall was still in her pajamas when she arrived! She was obviously woken up by the dragon!" Harry tried to explain the basis of his reasoning: "But Snape and Quirrell... they were dressed neatly, and they might have been wandering in the Forbidden Forest before, and even attacked Norbert and the unicorn! It was only when Hagrid arrived that they had to run away, and then they pretended to be awakened and ran over, but they didn't have time to change into suitable clothes!"

No one spoke for a moment.

In silence, Neville looked around and said something to make conversation: "Harry, I see you are particularly enthusiastic about Professor Quirrell recently... I thought you liked him very much..."

"I thought he was fighting against Snape!" Harry said in annoyance. "I wanted to encourage him to be strong! I didn't expect him to side with Snape so quickly!"

He looked at the complicated expressions on everyone's faces, and couldn't help feeling a little annoyed. He couldn't help but raise his voice and said, "Are you trying to say that they are professors, people Dumbledore trusts, so they won't do that? But I really -"

"Harry, calm down."

Wade suddenly interrupted his shouting, and his calm voice was like a bucket of cold water, extinguishing Harry's excitement. He looked at Wade, but saw that Wade was looking at other people.

"Tell him about it," Wade said. "Harry has already understood this much. Telling the truth does not count as a violation of our agreement with Dumbledore."

Harry froze.

"Tell me...what?"
