"Why did I come here?" Who knows, Sirius immediately began to blow his beard and stare, "You still have the nerve to ask me? You left everyone and ran away quietly last night, you know how I Did you make it through?!"
"How else can I live, just live normally~" Harry muttered twice with a dry smile, "Could it be possible to still be like me..."
"Stop pretending to me, you boy!" Sirius glared at Harry angrily, "Do you know that that unlucky girl kept pestering me last night, and she ended up following me to a nursing home? How could you put such a troublesome girl into trouble?" Throw it on me, I think you are a pure cheat!"
"She went to a nursing home?" Harry couldn't help being taken aback, "And then, how did you get away?"
"How else can I get away, just let her down." Sirius shrugged indifferently, "It's just a sleeping spell, it's not like I haven't done it~"
"You are cruel..."
Harry couldn't help but be speechless when he heard the words, Fleur was supposed to be a stunning beauty anyway, if it were an ordinary person, he would probably want to be an ancestor to confess.
It turned out that his godfather was a good one, he was not sympathetic at all, and would cast a sleeping spell every now and then.
Of course, it's also fortunate that it was just put down, not pushed...
"But having said that... so many more patients, I'm afraid your expenses will increase a lot in the future. And..." Sirius looked around, and his eyes fell on Lockhart, "and that guy, Is it really okay to take him there too?"
The agreement Harry signed with St. Mungo's was to buy the entire ward and be responsible for the treatment of these patients at the same time, but now that his family has a big business, he doesn't have to worry about any burden.
It's just that Gilderoy Lockhart was stared at by Harry back then, but now he needs Harry to support him, which can't help but worry Sirius who knows the inside story.
Well, Harry was pretty open about it.
"It's okay, just treat it as my compensation for being too defensive~"
Chapter 670 Love Brain, Ginger and Commitment
Sometimes, Harry felt that people should be more careful.
Just like Lockhart, the festivities between Harry and him are actually in the past...
Keke, stop pretending~
The fact is that the reason why Harry agreed to Lockhart living in the nursing home was entirely to monitor him anytime and anywhere.
This guy obviously suffered theoretically irreversible memory damage, but after two years, he showed signs of slow recovery, so Harry planned to study him as a body, which might also help him recover better Memory of Bertha Jorkins.
In addition, once this guy remembered the past one day and dared to make trouble again, Harry didn't mind staring at him like a fool again!
The elves packed very quickly, but even so, when they packed the entire ward, it was already midnight.
Fortunately, there were a few elves left in the nursing home, and friends like Colin, Will, and Astoria were there to help with the arrangements. After the patients passed by, they were able to settle in quickly.
What surprised Harry was that Sirius did not follow him back, but chose to separate in the hospital, and ran back to No. 12 Grimmauld Place by himself.
The reason why he did this, Harry didn't know until he arrived at the nursing home... Sister Delacour is still here, and Fleur has woken up.
"Harry, your child is finally back! Gabriel and I have prepared tea, so hurry up and rest, you are exhausted~"
At this time, Fleur was wearing an apron, greeting everyone like a hostess, and her tone of voice to Harry was so...weird.
"No...Miss Delacour, what's your situation?" Facing Fleur who was beaming with a smile, Harry took a step back in confusion, "Since you're already awake, why didn't you go back to Beauxbaton's carriage? Instead, stay here with Gabriel?"
While speaking, Harry glanced aside, the nine-year-old girl was wearing a small apron of the same style as Fleur, showing a bitter face to Harry.
"Of course I'm waiting...uh, of course I'm here to help~" Furong got stuck first, but then smiled brighter than before, "I'm not afraid that you will be too busy, so I stayed Help. By the way... Where is your godfather, is he still at the hospital?"
Hehehe... Harry couldn't help shaking his head inwardly when he saw this.
He finally saw that Furong's weird attitude was clearly the behavior of elders when they treated their children... and it was also when the elders had something extra for their children.
If you don’t believe me, just look at her face. Furong used to smile like a blue enchantress, coquettish and glamorous, but now she looks like a carnation~
So, she couldn't really fall in love with my godfather because of two sleeping spells and a dance, right?
This level of love brain is too high, is she suffering from Stockholm Syndrome, or is she just a dick?
And...you are only a few years older than me, is it really okay to just pretend to be a senior?
Besides, don't you know that my godfather is actually my eldest cousin?
"Hey, I'm asking you something, where is your godfather?" Seeing that Harry had been silent, Fleur couldn't help urging him impatiently.
"He... We separated when we were in the hospital, and he has gone home early." Harry shrugged when he came back to his senses.
"What did you say? He actually left?!" Furong stared at her immediately, "Then you should have told me earlier! Gabriel, we're going back!!"
Hearing that Sirius was not here, the smile on Fu Rong's face quickly faded, and she dropped her apron and dragged Gabriel away from the nursing home without even giving the little girl a chance to say goodbye.
"She's... so direct." Harry couldn't help but twitch his mouth when he saw this.
Fleur Delacour, this eldest sister is also a talent~
"Forget it, keep busy, I'll hang that painting."
After ordering the other elves to continue working, Harry picked up the picture frame brought back from St. Mungo's and placed it in the corridor outside the ward with great care.
This is a portrait of Dai Lisi Dewente. When Harry was negotiating with the dean of St. Mungo, the former headmaster also helped him say a few words, otherwise he would not have talked so easily protocol.
"Young man, it really is a good trick. It's no wonder that it can stir up troubles in the British magic world." At this moment, Mrs. Longbottom came out alone.
She looked at Harry silently, with a glint of admiration quietly flashing in her eyes.
"You are too much." Harry smiled modestly, "You can see my plan at a glance, and the old man's eyesight should not be underestimated either."
"After all, I have lived for many years." Madam Longbottom said lightly, and then changed the topic, "However, the environment here is really good, it is very suitable for my son and daughter-in-law to recuperate, and it will be more convenient for Neville to visit his parents in the future .”
"What about you?" Harry asked tentatively, "Would you like to consider living in, I can give you a discount~"
"Not yet." Mrs. Longbottom shook her head, "However, I also won't go anywhere else."
"Your words are enough." Harry smiled when he heard this.
"Okay, I've been busy for so long tonight, I have to go home. As for Neville, he can stay with you." After just a few 'chatters', Mrs. Longbottom chose to leave.
However, when she was about to walk to the corner of the corridor, she suddenly asked softly: "Young man... can you tell me, my son and daughter-in-law, is there any possibility for them to recover?"
"Yes!" Harry replied decisively after a little thought.
"Are you sure?!" Mrs. Longbottom hurriedly turned around when she heard that, even the vulture on the hat seemed to fly up in surprise.
"I'm sure!" Harry looked at each other unwaveringly.
"Okay!" Mrs. Longbottom nodded excitedly, "As long as you can show me the hope of their improvement, I agree to live in!"
"Don't worry, I won't keep you waiting." Harry promised with a smile, his tone always full of confidence.
It has to be said that Jiang is really old and hot, but Mrs. Longbottom saw the clues in this seemingly bloody deal for Harry, and also knew that Harry was actually making a lot of money!
Bertha Jorkins is a key witness. Even the Death Eater wanted to silence her, which shows how important information is in her mind.
And from now on, Harry can not only protect her tightly, but also try to explore her memory at any time.
At the same time, the other patients in the room also have their own characteristics. Harry can learn from Mrs. Straw and Principal Derwent while studying topics of his own interest, such as animal-to-human transformation and memory recovery.
In the end, he also used this to win over the Longbottom family.
In any case, with Neville's parents here, the Longbottoms would at least remain neutral in the future.
And once Harry can produce evidence that he can completely cure Frank and Alice Longbottom, the Longbottom family will become his staunch supporters!
Of course, Harry had no idea how to heal them.
But he believes that as long as everyone around him cooperates, a solution will be found in the end!
What's more, he still has Rowena, and the teacher Nicole Flamel!
Chapter 670: The Brain Injured by the Forgotten Curse
At the end of Christmas, because of a sudden accident, all the people in the nursing home were busy.
But thanks to everyone's concerted efforts, everything was settled quickly in the end.
Of course, as a good boss, Harry would not squeeze his employees, and naturally he would not let them work in vain.
He gave the house-elves an extra day off, and found time to visit the Three Broomsticks and Honeydukes, and came back with a load of assorted food.
So, when the house-elves got up again after a few hours, they all found with a dazed look that the restaurant had already set up a banquet.
Just like that, they were stunned, took their seats according to Harry's request, and for the first time in their lives, they ate a meal prepared for them by others.
In addition to food, they also received gifts, each with a beautifully wrapped small box.
Harry would definitely not challenge the bottom line of the house elves, so of course what he gave was not clothes or money, but chocolates and candies from Honeydukes.
"Just to express my heart. Yesterday, the 26th was supposed to be Boxing Day. As the boss, I wanted to give gifts to the employees. It was just my negligence. I haven't even apologized to everyone for this matter. "
At the banquet, facing a group of elves who were stiff and looking at each other, Harry smiled and comforted him: "Take it all, treat it as a belated holiday surprise."
Harry was pleased that the elves finally accepted their little favor, but he was even more satisfied... when they heard the word 'employee', they didn't immediately object.
Maybe it was because they didn't understand the meaning of the word, but Harry hoped it was because their mental outlooks were improving.
At the same time, he is also eagerly looking forward to the day when these elves can face everyone without being humble or humble, and completely separate from the past hard life!
Neville stayed in the nursing home for one night, during which he stayed with his parents until noon the next day, when he rejected Harry's lunch invitation and offered to leave.
He looked very excited when he said goodbye.
"Harry... I really don't know how to thank you!" He seemed to want to hold Harry's hand, but he couldn't help hesitating, he could only stand there nervously, "You helped my parents, To provide them with this environment... I, I really..."
"I just happened to meet, and it's within my power." Harry smiled and shook his head, "Besides, I also received money. Compared with this, if you want your uncle and aunt to recover as soon as possible, you must come and see more They are."
"I will!" Neville nodded vigorously, "As long as there is a chance, I will definitely come! Uh, besides..."
"Anything else?" Harry asked, raising an eyebrow.
"I... I heard that you seem to be teaching Ravenclaw students to practice magic..." Neville looked at Harry cautiously, "I don't know if I can... To be honest, I am very scared of this incident, I dare not Imagine, if you didn't help me talk before, even if I knew that there was a problem with that potted plant, I might not dare to tell grandma, let alone know that it would threaten my parents... So I think, at least make myself more reliable ..."
"That's it, of course it's okay." Harry nodded with a smile, "Hermione is in charge of the early courses now. If you want to learn, just report to her after school starts."
"That's really great!" Neville immediately showed a pleasant expression, and after another thank you, he left happily.
It should be said that Harry was also very satisfied with his choice.
For Neville, whether it was due to the friendship between the two or the Longbottom family behind him, Harry was very happy to help him.
Harry was even willing to do his best to heal Neville's parents as well as heal his own brain... as long as Neville agreed.
He was not belittling Neville, but the information he learned through some special channels.
It stands to reason that Neville, as the descendant of two elite Aurors, and with the Longbottom family being smart, even if he wasn't a genius, he wouldn't be so clumsy in the eyes of others.
And all this actually stems from his tragic experience when he was a child.
Neville's parents were tortured by the Death Eaters when he was very young, and he was insane in pain. Neville witnessed that scene with his own eyes at that time, and he was also strongly affected.
Later, Neville's grandmother, the former Mrs. Augusta Longbottom, cast an Oblivion Curse on her young grandson because she didn't want Neville to continue to suffer.
It was precisely because the spell was so powerful that when Neville grew up, his mind would appear very dull, and he would be enlightened later than ordinary children.
"It's the Forgetting Curse again..."
After reviewing Neville's experience, Harry couldn't help but feel that the classification of black and white magic in the wizarding world is really funny.
Just like the Forgetting Curse, once its power is strengthened, it may cause irreversible damage to the human brain, and even make people confused or even demented for life. What is the difference between this degree of injustice and black magic?
'I want to torture you to death', 'I want to kill you', and 'I want you to forget everything forever, even if your brain becomes an idiot'... Magic is a force driven by emotions and thoughts, but Harry I don't think the third idea is much nobler than the first two.
Therefore, magic is just magic, and what is really dark is always the human heart.
"Huh? Is it Winky?"
After seeing off Neville, Harry planned to go to the restaurant for lunch, but found a house elf walking cautiously in the corridor with a large dinner plate in his hand.
He identified it carefully, and found that the other party was Winky from the Crouch family.
"You... hello, Mr. Granger." Hearing someone calling himself, Winky was stunned for a moment, but after realizing it was Harry, he became obviously more nervous, hurriedly bowed ninety degrees, and lowered his head deeply .
"Morning, Winky." Harry stepped forward to greet him gently, "Where are you going to send the food? As I remember, it doesn't seem to be Mr. Crouch's room over there?"
"This is..." Winky struggled for a while, and finally said truthfully, "This is just served from the restaurant, and I want to give it to the people who just moved in yesterday. Mr. Crouch feels that we all live here. I have always been indebted to my husband and everyone for taking care of me, so I should do what I can to repay it. It happened that the elves in the nursing home were on vacation today, so Shining went to the kitchen to make lunch, and wanted to send it to the patient and the therapist."
"Then I'll thank you and Mr. Crouch for their kindness first, er..." Harry originally thanked with a smile on his face, but suddenly a gleam of inspiration flashed in his heart!
After that, his smile quietly became more playful.
"How about this, you just give it to me. I just happen to have to ask Mrs. Straw some questions."
