Chapter 38 Filch's Return

Amid Professor Snape's furious roar, Rove sent Neville to the school hospital.

Madam Pomfrey was very unhappy. After checking Neville's injuries, she tactfully expressed her dissatisfaction with Professor Snape, believing that he had failed to fulfill his duties as a professor and caused the little wizard to be hurt in the first class.

It seemed that if she were the principal, she would have fired Snape long ago.

Neville was very moved by this, and then he signed the list of "Supporting Medical Care to Replace Potions Classes" that Madam Pomfrey took out.

Madam Pomfrey's greatest wish is to set up a medical care course at Hogwarts to teach young wizards how to save themselves, bandage and treat wounds.

For this great cause, she also has lists such as "Medical Care Replaces Defense Against the Dark Arts" and "Medical Care Replaces Protection of Magical Creatures"...

Whichever subject hurts students should be banned.

Madam Pomfrey turned to stare at Rolf again, as if he could leave the school hospital without signing, so the boy had no choice but to "voluntarily" pick up the quill and write his name in a flash.

Of course... it's not my own name.

Co-signing is too dangerous, and you will be retaliated against if you are not careful. Of course, Luofu will not foolishly write his name on it.

After Madam Pomfrey left with satisfaction, Neville lay on a hospital bed covered with white linen sheets and said in a low voice:

"Rolf, am I useless? I can't even brew the simplest potion..."

"How could it be?" Rolf sat by the bed, looked at Neville who was depressed, and said, "You just lack practice, just go back and practice a few more times. In fact, most students, like you, have not succeeded. "

"I'm stupid, really stupid. Just like Professor Snape said, I have no talent!" Neville lay back on the bed, looked at the ceiling, and said absentmindedly:

"My grandma also thinks that my father and I are far different when we were young..."

"Neville, it's not that you're not talented, it's that you lack confidence!" Rolf said seriously:

"Don't say your talent is not good until you have put in far more effort than ordinary people. Believe that you can do anything well."

"Of course, if you try hard and still can't do it, it doesn't matter." Rolf looked at Neville's childish face and said with a smile:

“Everyone has something they’re good at or not good at and there’s nothing to be ashamed of.

Just tell the person you care about that you work hard but you're really not good at it... and she will understand you. "

"Ah, go tell Professor Snape that I worked hard?" Neville closed his eyes and imagined the scene, then shuddered and said, "It's terrible!"

Rolf laughed and said, "Professor Snape is indeed scary. I mean tell your grandma... talk to her."

Neville raised his head and said confusedly: "Is it really possible?!"

"There's nothing wrong with giving it a try." Luof reached out and patted the young man on the shoulder.

Neville fell silent.

At this moment, the door curtain was opened again. It was Hermione, Shirley and Hannah, three girls who came to visit the patient after class.

Hannah, who had braids, wrinkled her little face hard and lowered the corners of her mouth, trying not to cry. If Neville hadn't blocked her in front of her, she would be looking miserable now.

Hermione looked at the boil on Neville's face, gasped, and then, like Madam Pomfrey, scolded Professor Snape.

"I will write a letter to Professor Dumbledore to complain about him." The little girl once again resorted to the trick of writing a complaint letter, and she said angrily:

"I raised my hand to answer a question in class, but Professor Snape didn't let me answer. He only asked Harry to answer. How can a teacher be so... partial?"

"..."

"Didn't Madam Pomfrey ask for your signature just now?" Rolf asked in a low voice, "You can just make a joint complaint with her."

"I refuse." Hermione shook her head and said, "I still prefer potions classes to medical care."

Shirley said softly: "I didn't sign it either. Professor Snape will definitely hold a grudge if he signs it."

"I thought so too." Rolf nodded: "That's why I just wrote Malfoy's name."

"I wrote Bones's name!" Hannah grinned as she was peeling an apple for Neville.

"..."

"So, I was the only one who signed my name in the end?" Neville cried sadly.

Madam Pomfrey came back with the potion, and found that there were too many young wizards visiting the patient, so she kicked Rolf and the others out.

But Hannah didn't leave. As a thank you, she decided to stay and take care of Neville.

Neville had to spend the first weekend at Hogwarts in the school hospital, but with Hannah by his side, it couldn't be said to be too bad.

On Saturday morning, as agreed, Rolf carried his small black suitcase and went to Filch's office to give Mrs. Norris a follow-up consultation.

Filch's office was on the first floor of Hogwarts Castle, next to the foyer. The room was very small, dark and dirty, with no windows and only a solitary oil lamp hanging from the low ceiling.

There were many wooden filing cabinets lined up on the surrounding walls. Judging from the labels, the cabinets contained detailed information on every student Filch had punished.

Rove glanced at it and saw that the illegal information written on Fred and George took up an entire drawer.

This is only their result in two years!

Next to it was a filing cabinet with a drawer marked "Confiscated Items, Highly Dangerous."

These are all the "treasures" that Filch has confiscated from students over the past few decades. The twins stole the Marauder's Map from here.

On the wall behind the desk, there are chains, handcuffs, and whips. It seems that Filch plays a lot when he is alone.

After giving Mrs. Norris cat interferon, Rolf checked her body again, from inside to outside, not sparing any details.

Mrs. Norris screamed "meow". She wanted to escape Rolf's clutches, but it didn't work.

Filch looked at his cat with a distressed face. Mrs. Norris was held in Rolf's arms and stroked again and again, which made him feel like he was committing adultery with a cat.

Filch was heartbroken, but he could do nothing.

"The body has recovered well, but it is still very thin. It needs another course of treatment, and it will be almost fine." Rolf said after the examination.

Filch quickly took the ravaged and dying Mrs. Norris back into his arms and comforted her.

"Mr. Scamander, thank you so much."

Rolf did not ask for money, which touched Filch a little.

"You're welcome. A doctor's heart is like a parent's. Who makes me a professional veterinarian?" Rolf stood up, put the potion into the small black suitcase, and prepared to leave.

"Mr. Scamander, wait..." Filch panted, he seemed to have made up his mind, and took out a booklet and an old map from the drawer.

"I saw you were lost before, here are the records of Hogwarts Castle that I have recorded over the years, you can take a look!"

Rolf hesitated for a moment, he took the map and booklet, flipped through it, and saw that it was densely summarized with many situations of the operation of the Hogwarts stairs.

There are also some secret passages and passwords, of course, they are all secret passages in the castle, and none of them lead to the outside of the school!

"Thank you very much, Mr. Filch." Rolf really needed this thing now. He was not familiar with the environment, and it was difficult for him to carry out night tours.

"You're welcome... You didn't charge me for helping me treat Mrs. Norris..." Filch stuttered to thank him.

"If Mrs. Norris has any problems in the future, you can come to me. It's free for life." Rolf promised.

Filch nodded with satisfaction.

Rolf took the information and walked towards the greenhouse, and then continued to look through the map.

The best map must be the Marauder's Map, which not only shows the secret passage, but also the name and activity status of the wizard.

But the Marauder's Map is in the hands of the twins, and Rolf can't ask for it. After all, the map is not his.

He is not able to make a new Marauder's Map now.

Although Filch's map does not mark the secret passage leading outside the castle, it is enough to deal with night tours.

Rolf put away the map and brochure and put them in his black leather suitcase. He walked through the grass and soon came to the greenhouse.

He needed to find Professor Sprout, give her the agreed potion, and take the seeds he wanted.

Entering Greenhouse No. 1, Rolf walked along the path. When he passed a forest, he suddenly stopped.

He saw an unexpected figure!
