Chapter 384 Extra 1: Poisoning Incident
PS: It is considered another line and does not affect the reading of the main text.
Although Albert had warned Harry and Ron, looking at Hagrid who was enjoying the delicious mushroom soup, it was obviously more convincing than empty words.
Hagrid had already eaten two large bowls of mushroom soup, and there was no so-called sign of poisoning. It was not like a pot of poisonous mushroom soup.
Speaking of which, it smells really good.
"I'll give it a try first. If I'm really poisoned, remember to send me to the campus hospital." Ron said jokingly to several people in the room.
Albert no longer tried to persuade him, but just sat quietly next to him, holding Tom in his arms and feeding Yaya by the way.
Tom was curious and wanted to taste the dog food, but found that the food was not to his taste, so he didn't pay much attention to Albert feeding the big dog in front of him.
Albert looked at Ron who was eating, poured himself a cup of tea, took a sip, and murmured to himself: "Sometimes, why do you have to hit your head and bleed to be satisfied?"
Harry next to him frowned slightly when he heard this, but suddenly heard Ron say: "Harry, this tastes really good, you should try it too... Well, it's strange, Hagrid, how come you here..."
After eating a small bowl and still savoring the delicious mushroom soup, Ron suddenly had a reaction similar to poisoning. He fell down from his chair, his limbs began to spasm, his eyes bulged, and he foamed at the mouth.
Harry, who was about to take his mouthful, was so frightened by this scene that he dropped his spoon.
“Ron, are you okay, Hagrid?” Harry shouted, “Think of something!”
But Hagrid seemed to be stunned, looking at his bowl in disbelief, and then at Ron who was lying on the ground twitching, becoming panicked for a moment.
"Poisoned." Albert looked at Ron who fell on the ground, shook his head and sighed, "As expected, Gryffindor students don't listen to advice."
“Think of a solution!” Harry saw that Hagrid had no idea, and remembered Albert who had just warned them not to eat mushrooms. He quickly turned his head and shouted anxiously.
"This is not simple, let Ron spit out what he has eaten." Albert said calmly, not affected by the chaotic and tense atmosphere in the room.
“Oh,” Harry seemed to wake up suddenly and shouted, “Ron, spit out what you’ve eaten.”
"You won't make him vomit!" Albert was speechless immediately, looked at Hagrid and said, "Come on!"
Hagrid immediately grabbed Ron's ankle, lifted him up, and shook him vigorously, trying to make Ron spit out the mushroom soup he had just eaten.
Albert looked at this scene and suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of joy. However, the effect didn't seem to be very good. He walked over and punched Ron in the stomach. The unlucky guy was severely beaten by this punch. The food was sprayed out, and Tom and Yaya were so frightened that they quickly hid aside.
"Ron, Ron, are you okay!" Harry couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Ron spit out the food, and quickly jumped on it again, shouting.
“I’ll take him to the school hospital.” Hagrid held Ron in his arms and was about to run towards the castle, but saw Albert pouring a cup of tea and handing it to him.
“Give it to him to drink, it will help relieve the symptoms of poisoning, and then you can take him to the school hospital.”
Hagrid didn’t know why, but he still followed Albert’s advice. He had no idea now. Albert was so calm now, so he had better deal with it according to his opinion.
"Okay, let him go to the school hospital. Madam Pomfrey should be able to cure him." Albert waved his wand and cleaned up Ron's vomit. The mushrooms on the plate were also cleaned up. As for In the pot, it is estimated that Dumbledore or Professor McGonagall will come later, and there will always be something needed to be left behind, so Albert did not clean it up all together.
…
There were many students watching in the corridor outside the campus hospital. They were all curious to see Ron's condition. Hagrid rushed into the campus hospital with Ron in his arms, which aroused the attention and curiosity of many people.
Everyone waited patiently in the corridor outside the door. Whenever someone entered or came out, they would try their best to look inside, trying to figure out Ron's situation.
“Food poisoning?”
Fred and George couldn't help but look at each other in shock after listening to Albert's words.
"How stupid can he be to do such a thing!" Percy covered his face with his hands. He really couldn't understand what it was like to have a taste of food when someone told him that it was poisonous.
Ron was lucky. He not only tasted a bite, but also ate a bowl. As he joked, he was carried directly to the campus hospital sideways.
Harry now regrets that he didn't listen to Albert's advice. If Albert hadn't acted decisively, I don't know what would have happened.
"Mrs. Pomfrey will cure him, and it's not your fault." Albert comforted casually: "Everyone has a certain degree of resistance to mushroom poisoning. Some people are fine after eating it, and some people are okay after eating it. If something goes wrong, since Ron ate it himself, he needs to take responsibility for his actions, which can be regarded as a lesson."
"If he had listened to you, this wouldn't have happened." Hagrid blamed himself, because Albert had warned them in advance that something like this would happen. It was entirely because they didn't listen to the warning. .
Harry still remembered what Albert had muttered: Sure enough, Gryffindor students don't listen to advice.
So, he stopped trying to persuade her.
Watching them get poisoned and watching them being sent to the school hospital.
Harry sadly discovered that there was really no one to blame for this incident. If he wanted to blame it, it would be their greed and stupidity that got him into trouble.
They are so stupid!
He must be laughing at himself in his heart!
"What is going on, Hagrid?" Dumbledore hurried back and looked at Hagrid.
“Let me tell you!” Albert repeated what he had already told Professor McGonagall and Madam Pomfrey.
“A pot of poisonous mushroom soup?” Dumbledore raised his eyebrows, suddenly not knowing what to say.
After all, Hagrid was fine after eating two large bowls, but Ron was poisoned after eating just one bowl. Who can blame him?
Besides, Albert warned them.
"I checked and found a pot of poisonous mushroom soup." Professor Sprout said helplessly: "As Mr. Anderson said, most of the mushrooms in the basket are poisonous. It's really hard to believe that someone would They stewed it all in one pot.”
“But why me?” Hagrid stammered.
"Resistance to poison, Hagrid, everyone has different resistance to poison, and obviously Ron didn't, so he was poisoned by the mushroom!" Albert interrupted.
"Minerva, please contact Mr. and Mrs. Weasley. They have a magical clock. I think something has happened!" Dumbledore said to Professor McGonagall next to him.
“Okay.” Professor McGonagall left in a hurry.
Not long after, Mr. and Mrs. Weasley appeared at Hogwarts with Ginny!
"You saved him, I heard McGonagall said." Mrs. Weasley grabbed Albert and hugged him tightly.
“Thank you!” Mr. Weasley patted Albert on the shoulder and gave Albert a hug as well.
Percy's face was ugly. He couldn't understand why his brother was so stupid. He felt that he had failed to fulfill his responsibility as an older brother. However, this was not his problem at all.
At six o'clock in the afternoon, Madam Pomfrey allowed them to enter the campus hospital. It was very quiet inside, with the curtains drawn and the lights on.
Ron was lying on the hospital bed, his face looking very pale, but he was obviously out of danger and sober.
When Madam Pomfrey came to remind that only six people could visit, Albert left with Li Jordan, leaving Ron to stay with his family.
While resting at night, Fred said to them: "Ron will have to stay in bed for at least half a month."
However, the matter was not over yet. The news of Ron's poisoning spread quickly the next day. Everyone seemed to think it was an accident because Hagrid was fine after eating it himself.
It’s just that many people can’t understand why people can be so stupid.
Why do you still eat it even though someone told you it is poisonous?
However, when this matter reached the reporters of the Daily Prophet, things took a different turn.
Harry Potter was poisoned?
Conspiracy theories actually spread in newspapers like this.
Countless people are paying attention to the safety of this savior, but no one cares about the real victims.
