Chapter 317: Malfoy with Rabies
The Malfoy family has a tradition that has been passed down for thousands of years, that is, each generation of wizards, at the age of eleven, must choose a wizard of the same sex to form a fateful bond.
They seem to be enemies but not friends, but in fact they cherish each other in their hearts, and they are the most suitable soul mates for each other.
This rumor... I don't know who said it, anyway, after the end of last semester, it suddenly began to spread widely in Hogwarts.
And spread it with nose and eyes!
Rumors further pointed out that the soul mate chosen by the previous generation of Malfoy was Arthur Weasley, and the goal of this generation is... Harry Potter.
This rumor sounds outrageous at first glance, but upon careful consideration, it is extremely terrifying.
After all, everyone carefully recalled that Malfoy always seemed to be seen provocatively near Potter in public places... Obviously the two of them were not in the same academy.
For example, now, on the Hogwarts Express, Malfoy came to Harry again.
Then, everyone suddenly realized... It seems that the rumors are true, and Malfoy really chose Potter as his soul mate.
Of course, this rumor was spread by Rove. He said it casually at the beginning, but he didn't expect it to cause widespread discussion among everyone.
Even Malfoy was inevitably affected, rushing to Potter on the first day of school, trying to clear up that rumor.
Of course, it would be nice to be able to beat Potter up by the way.
Why Malfoy is so willing to find trouble with Harry... The main reason is that Harry is famous, and the combat power of both sides is 50-50, not one-sided.
If there is too much difference in combat power, such as Rove, Malfoy will stay away. After all, he wants to enjoy the feeling of conquest, not to be beaten unilaterally.
But today is destined to not enjoy it.
Malfoy rushed into the carriage with his two little brothers, and then backed out with a look of horror on his face.
A big black dog came out of the carriage. It gave a low growl, not a growl, but a threatening growl.
But the huge size of the black dog was enough to scare Malfoy. He leaned against the wall on the other side, trembling, his face full of fear, and even his voice trembled.
"You... don't come here!"
Malfoy turned and ran, and the black dog jumped up and knocked him to the ground.
"Get it away!" Malfoy screamed, his body twisting and rolling wildly, "Get it away! Help!!"
The students all stood there dazedly. After hearing Malfoy's yell, they regained their senses belatedly, and then ran quickly.
But instead of running to save people, he turned around... and fled in all directions.
"What's that?" Neville looked terrified. "Why is there such a big dog on the train?"
Rove frowned and said, "It should be Sirius Black, and his Animagus form is a black dog."
"Why is Black on the train?" Hermione looked surprised.
"I guess he came with Harry." Rove thought for a while and said, "Peter has escaped, and Sirius should really want to catch him."
At this moment, the black dog had already bit Malfoy's arm, dragging him into the toilet effortlessly, as if dragging a rag doll.
The wailing sound continued to come from the toilet.
Rove was thoughtful, he suddenly turned around, put his arm on the shoulder of the girl with ponytails, and said with a smile:
"Xue Li, the money giver will come soon... It's time to test your acting skills, don't let yourself go."
Shirley instantly understood what the boy meant, her eyes rolled, and she said softly, "I know, but does this count as extra overtime?"
"Forget it!" Rove laughed and said, "Shall we split the bill?"
"You're dismissing Nixiu." Shirley imitated Rove's catchphrase, and said playfully, "At least you have to pay three to seven."
Rove shook his head pretendingly, held back his smile and said, "It's too expensive, I'll ask Hermione and Neville for help."
Hermione hurriedly shook her head, and said righteously, "I won't do anything that defrauds people."
Neville was more than willing to help, but his acting... the dog shook his head.
"Four to six." Xue Li squinted and smiled brightly, and said solemnly: "If you hesitate any longer, it will be five or five!"
"Okay, Sanqi is Sanqi!" Rove reached out and tapped the ponytailed girl's forehead with gentle movements, and said with a smile:
"Hey, just like Xixiu, you will fall into the eyes of money, and you will be given such a good boss as me, and you will be paid overtime."
Shirley smiled at the boy and said:
"I still want to hire you as an assistant in the future. I have to save some money, and I can't rely on that dead salary."
Luo Fu smiled knowingly, "I'm waiting for you... to be my boss' wife in the future."
"Okay, boss." The girl with ponytails blinked obediently.
Less than twenty minutes later, there was a loud knock on the door outside the carriage.
After Neville opened the door, he saw Goyle and Crabbe carrying a stretcher with Malfoy lying on it.
Malfoy kept crying, making a sound that sounded like a whimper.
"I was bitten by a dog... help the wound... Scamander..."
Malfoy looked embarrassed, but after Rove's careful inspection, the wounds were neither deep nor important.
It seems that Sirius has a very measured mouth.
However, Rove put on a straight face and said helplessly:
"Malfoy, your wound is not very troublesome to deal with, but..."
"But what?" Malfoy asked nervously.
"You were bitten by a dog. I saw that dog too. It's a mad dog... sick." Luo Fu sighed:
"There is rabies virus in its saliva, it will pass through your wound, enter your nerve cells, and move towards your brain."
"It can be as short as a few days, or as slow as a few years. You will have fever, fever, sore throat, and hydrophobia. Finally, limbs are paralyzed until the respiratory muscles are paralyzed... suffocation and death."
Malfoy's face was pale, and he really couldn't control his fear, as if the cold was oozing from his bones all over his body.
"Please!" he yelled loudly, "Help me!"
"Rabies is a terminal illness, even I..." Rove said regretfully, "I'm afraid there's nothing I can do."
"Rove, didn't you get a new tube of medicine?" Shirley suddenly whispered: "You said before that the treatment of rabies is very effective."
"Shut up, don't talk nonsense!" Rove reprimanded: "I only have that medicine, which my grandfather gave me to save my life."
Xue Li looked aggrieved, and muttered: "What time is it now, it's important to save people."
"That's right, Rove, sell it to me quickly, we are distant relatives... My seventh uncle's aunt and your grandpa's mother are sisters..."
Malfoy tugged on the boy's sleeve and begged, "Just sell it to me."
"But this medicine is very expensive, Malfoy." Rove sighed, "It's not that I won't sell it to you, it's that you can't afford it."
"I have money... I brought a thousand Galleons this time..."
Malfoy pulled out his shapeshifter skin wallet and emptied it all out.
"One thousand is not enough."
"This is for you, too." Malfoy picked up a glass eyeball that was motionless, and said anxiously, "I bought this at Bokin-Bock store for eight hundred Galleons."
"Then I'll suffer a little bit, after all, we're all classmates?" Luo Fu sighed, "Xue Li, bring the medicine."
Xue Li walked lightly, and brought a bottle of potion from the box. When the girl handed it to the boy, the two looked at each other, and they both saw the smile in the other's eyes, so they worked hard to hold back their laughter.
After Malfoy took the medicine, he hesitated, and said in a low voice, "It can't be pee this time, can it?"
Malfoy still remembered that when the two met for the first time, he was asked by the Motra rat, and he was tricked by the teenager to drink the urine of the armadillo.
"It's not urine, just apply it externally, and apply it on the wound." Rove urged:
"But I have to remind you that the poison has to be sucked out by Goyle and Crabbe with their mouths, and then the medicine is applied."
"..."
Malfoy's face was flushed red, he wanted to swear but didn't dare to swear, he was very aggrieved.
He has several wounds on his buttocks.
Damn Potter!
Back at Hogwarts, he must ask Professor Snape to kill that black dog! !
Soon, Malfoy was carried away by Goyle and Crabbe.
Hermione tilted her head, looked at Rove, propped her chin with two fingers, and said, "You are so bad, you catch someone every time."
Neville glanced at Hermione, he really wanted to say... Not to mention the number of times you were tricked, every time you bet with Rove you lost, almost lost yourself.
Of course, Neville also thought about it, but didn't dare to say it.
"Lucius Malfoy is a Death Eater, so if you cheat, you can cheat." Rove laughed:
"It's better if the money is cheated by me than if Voldemort is resurrected later and used to help him grow stronger."
"Besides..." Rove pinched the glass eye with his thumb and forefinger, he smiled and said, "Malfoy has to thank us."
After a while, someone knocked on the door suddenly, Neville opened the door again, only to see Draco still lying on the stretcher, he cried:
"I just forgot to say...thank you."
Rove blinked at everyone.
