Kyle said quickly: "A little wizard is injured. I need to go to Madam Pomfrey, but I don't know how to get there. Can you help lead the way?"
Although the location of the school hospital was marked on the map Cedric gave him, he had never been there and was not familiar with the specific route.
But this cat is different. It has followed Filch for many years and is very familiar with Hogwarts. It must know how to get there as quickly as possible.
It would be great if it would help.
Mrs. Norris tilted her head to look at Kyle and Mikel floating behind him, then stood up without saying a word and walked towards the stairs on the right.
Is this agreed?
Kyle quickly followed.
The two people and the cat shuttled between the stairs, and took a shortcut through a secret passage hidden behind a stone statue. In a few minutes, they arrived at a courtyard outside the auditorium.
There is a huge floor clock here, so it is also called the Pendulum Clock Courtyard.
When Kyle arrived here, Mrs. Norris was squatting next to the grandfather clock and pointed at the stairs behind her with her tail, motioning him to go up.
"Thank you. I'll bring you some dried fish."
Kyle reached out his hand and tried to rub Mrs. Norris's cat head, but she dodged it nimbly.
Mrs. Norris folded her ears, glared at Kyle with a warning look, then turned and walked away, soon disappearing.
"Oh, tsundere."
Kyle had no choice but to withdraw his hand angrily and take Mikel up the stairs.
Just keep walking up here and you will reach the school hospital. This staircase is fixed, so you don’t have to worry about it turning to another place halfway.

Chapter 30: The Potions Professor and the Magic Suppressant Potion
Madam Pomfrey was a tall witch who was skilled in healing arts, potions, herbs, and other medical remedies.
According to gossip, St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries had invited her to join three times, and promised that as long as she nodded, she could directly become the deputy director.
But even so, Madam Pomfrey firmly refused and said that she only wanted to stay at Hogwarts.
Of course, this is just a rumor, and its authenticity needs to be verified, because neither Madam Pomfrey nor St. Mungo's mentioned this news.
Don't admit it, but don't deny it either.
This is also a small unsolved mystery in Hogwarts.
When Kyle walked into the school hospital, Madam Pomfrey happened to pass by him and handed a bottle of green potion in her hand to the little wizard lying on the bed.
"This is the last bottle of medicine for treating scabies. Remember to apply it on the affected area and do not drink it."
After saying that, he turned around again and trotted all the way to another bed, muttering to himself, "Why are there so many little wizards sent here at this time every year!
What on earth are those professors at Hogwarts doing? Why are they all so irresponsible? "
It can be seen that she is not in a good mood.
Just as Kell was hesitating about how to start speaking, Madam Pomfrey happened to look over here.
"Merlin's beard, what happened to this kid!" She ran over quickly, carefully placed Mikkel on an empty bed, and asked without turning her head: "What is it this time, potions? Or Defense Against the Dark Arts? How come the person is unconscious!"
"Neither, ma'am, it's Charms."
Kyle whispered, "Mikel cast an illumination spell, and that's it... Professor Flitwick said he must have overdrawn his magic power."
"Yes, it is indeed an overdraft of magic power... Wait, what did you just say?" Madam Pomfrey turned back and looked at Kyle in disbelief, "Illumination spell?!!!"
Her expression now was as if she had seen Dumbledore pole dancing on the Astronomy Tower.
There was a hint of absurdity in his disbelief, and it was obvious that he didn't believe what Kyle said.
Today's little wizards are becoming less and less reliable. Even if they lie, they have to think of a plausible reason.
He also released the Illumination Spell, which caused an overdraft of magic power... It's ridiculous, why didn't he say that Filius was knocked down by an Illumination Spell?
"It's true. The new students of Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw saw it, and Professor Flitwick can also testify to it."
Kyle quickly explained and gave a brief account of what happened in the Charms class.
After hearing this, Madam Pomfrey's doubts were mostly dissipated.
If the freshmen of both colleges saw it, the news would probably spread throughout Hogwarts very quickly. If he was lying, it would be easily exposed, not to mention that he even moved Filius out.
Madam Pomfrey turned her head and looked at Mikel as if he were a rare magical animal. It was the first time she had seen a young wizard with such poor control over his own magic.
Judging from the previous description, that level of illumination spell is very likely caused by a magical riot.
Powerful, but uncontrollable.
But Madam Pomfrey was sure that when she checked the little wizard just now, she did not find any signs of magical riots. It was really just a simple overdraft.
"It's really...an eye-opener." Madam Pomfrey sighed subconsciously.
Kyle nodded in deep agreement, and he understood Madam Pomfrey's feelings very well because he felt the same way.
If the wizard casting a spell is regarded as driving a car, then Mikel's behavior just now is equivalent to stepping on the accelerator to drain the fuel tank directly and speeding off 200 kilometers in one second.
Don't think this is a good thing.
The speed is fast, but it's not slow either.
Fortunately, it was just a lighting spell. If it was a raging fire... Kyle couldn't help but shudder and vowed to stay away from Mikel in class in the future.
How far away!
He originally thought that the "explosion genius" who would be enrolling next year was outrageous enough, but he didn't expect that there would be a "forbidden spell wizard" this year.
Hogwarts really doesn't keep idle people.
A few minutes later, Dumbledore, who got the news, came over and brought Snape who was in class with him.
Madam Pomfrey led them to Mikkel's bed, whispered a few words, and then stepped aside.
Dumbledore bent down and observed Mikel carefully, tapping him with his wand from time to time.
After a long while, he put away his wand without saying a word, turned to Kyle and said, "Good morning, Kyle, did you bring him to Bobby's place?"
"Yes, Professor." Kyle nodded.
"You did very well." Dumbledore smiled and said, "And I heard from Sabrina what happened. If you hadn't helped up those students who fell, I'm afraid Mr. Mikel wouldn't be the only one lying here."
Kyle waved his hands and said, "This is what I should do, Professor, and I'm not the only one helping."
"But you are the first one to stand up." Dumbledore blinked and said, "Many senior students and even adult wizards cannot remain calm in times of crisis, but you did it, and you did it very well.
Twenty points to Hufflepuff for your bravery and humility."
I don’t know if some keywords were triggered, but as soon as Dumbledore finished speaking, Snape, who was looking at Mikel before, suddenly turned his attention to Kyle.
It was as if he had just discovered that there was someone standing here.
But Kyle didn't notice this. He was looking at Dumbledore and asked, "Professor, how is Mikel? Can he continue his classes?"
"Of course." Dumbledore smiled and said, "Although it is a bit troublesome, it is not difficult to solve. It only requires a little magic suppressant potion. Our Potions Professor will be able to brew it quickly."
"one day."
Snape walked over and said coldly: "I promise to send it here before Hufflepuff's Potions class tomorrow. But before that, Mr. Chopper, there is one thing I must remind you..."
Snape paused suddenly, revealing a mocking look: "You'd better tell your friend to take care of his poor brain and wand. Frequent overdraft of magic power can turn a wizard into a Squib. I think you should know what a Squib means."
"I know, Professor!" Kyle said.
"very good."
Snape ignored Kyle and left the school hospital.
"I think we should go too," Dumbledore said. "Mikel needs to rest. I suggest you come visit him again in the afternoon."

Chapter 31 Snape's Dark History (Please collect and recommend)
Dumbledore spoke a few more words to Madam Pomfrey, then left the hospital wing with Kyle.
On the way, Kyle took the opportunity to ask some questions he encountered while practicing magic, and Dumbledore was not stingy and answered them all.
……
Because of their different destinations, they separated not long after entering the castle.
When Dumbledore returned to the headmaster's office, Snape was already waiting for him there.
"This is the material needed for the magic suppression potion."
Snape casually slapped a long piece of parchment on the table and said in a long tone: "Our vice-headmaster said that it contains a lot of precious materials and requires your signature."
"Minerva is just too conventional. I remember telling her a long time ago that she can make the decisions on everything in the school."
Dumbledore picked up the parchment and said nonchalantly, "Besides, it's just a magic suppressant potion. How can it be so precious... huh?"
When Dumbledore saw the contents of the parchment clearly, his expression changed.
Mandrake Juice: 50 oz.
Hoclapp Juice: 50 oz.
Australian Ocellated Dragon Eggshell: 5 pcs.
Erumpent Explosive Fluid: 10 oz.
Horns of the horned camel: 5.
Aconitum: 100 pieces.
……
This is just a part of it. There are probably more than thirty kinds of others when all added up.
After Dumbledore finished reading it all, he felt his forehead throbbing.
If he remembered correctly, among the six ingredients written at the top, only one - Mandrake juice - was needed, and the others had absolutely nothing to do with the magic-suppressing potion.
