Chapter 58
The bustle of St. Mungo's Hospital was no less than that of Diagon Alley.
The people here had all sorts of strange injuries.
Darren even saw a wizard with antlers on his head asking if he would die if he cut them off directly.
There were also people running here, twisting their waists exaggeratedly.
"God, please let me stop, I'm exhausted, I'm really exhausted!"
Hiss!
He didn't know what kind of magic this was; it was so miserable...
【Ding, detected a scene for the Saint Father System to function near the host. Now issuing a temporary quest:
Eavesdrop on the conversation between Mrs. Longbottom and the doctor, then walk to the hospital payment counter and deposit the thirty thousand Galleons Betty gave into the Longbottom couple's account.
And say the words: "I am just an unknown ordinary person, please do not publicize my appearance, thank you."】
【Ding, after completing the quest, gain Voldemort's Bloodline (on the night of torturing Lily, Voldemort's bloodline was quietly lost a bit). Do you accept?】
Ah, this?
He didn't really care too much about thirty thousand Galleons.
He was mainly marveling at that "Voldemort's Bloodline."
What was meant by "the night of torturing Lily"?
He remembered Dumbledore saying that Lily was captured and tortured by Death Eaters.
How did Voldemort have a part in this?
And... lost bloodline?
No, why couldn't he understand this?
Was the remaining stuff something Darren could see without paying?
【Accept!】
Although shocked, Darren still accepted it quickly.
He looked around.
Neville's grandmother should be around here.
"Neville, go talk to your mom and dad."
Just as Darren was searching anxiously, he heard a familiar name.
Looking in the direction of the voice.
Sure enough, he saw Neville and his grandmother.
Mrs. Longbottom was already very old.
Her face was covered in wrinkles, and the corners of her mouth were turned down, making her look difficult to get along with.
She was currently instructing Neville to enter the ward first, while she stayed outside to talk to the doctor about something.
Darren took advantage of Betty looking for the doctor's office and quietly crept over to listen.
"Mrs. Longbottom, the medical expenses are not enough again... Yes, yes, I know they did it for the magical world... The hospital is not a charity... Alright, then please find a way as soon as possible."
The doctor left in a hurry.
Mrs. Longbottom lowered her head and sobbed loudly, then quickly returned to her previous expression and walked into the ward calmly.
"Let's go, what are you looking at here?"
Betty grabbed Darren's clothes and pulled him out of the corner where he was eavesdropping.
Darren shook his head.
He was just lamenting that there were people in the magical world who couldn't afford medical treatment.
Not to mention they were heroes from back then.
No wonder Neville's first wand was his father's wand.
The official story was that he wanted to become the person his father was; maybe his family was really poor.
Although the Longbottom family was considered one of the Sacred Twenty-Eight, only Neville's uncle Algie was left to support the family.
And he had to support two younger brothers and sisters-in-law living at St. Mungo's; it was clearly a case of expenses exceeding income.
He wasn't in a hurry to donate money to the Longbottom account right now; Betty was following him.
This Slytherin girl was already suspicious; if he donated money in front of her, she might think he was grandstanding, which would be counterproductive.
Although he was indeed grandstanding, it was thirty thousand Galleons!
He didn't want to be evaluated like that.
"We're here, this is it. I made an appointment with Mr. Paskett to check you. Mr. Paskett is also my uncle, a famous physician at St. Mungo's!"
Betty's tone had some showing off.
Darren rolled his eyes quietly.
He followed Betty into Mr. Paskett's office.
There was only one patient left here, and after seeing them walk in, he hurriedly stood up and left.
"Oh, noble Miss Greengrass, I am very happy for your visit!"
When Paskett saw Betty, he greeted her excitedly, seemingly wanting to hug Betty, but was dodged by Betty with a frown.
"Paskett, I hope you can be serious; there are outsiders here."
She pulled Darren out from behind her.
Darren smiled "shyly" at Paskett.
"Oh, I don't know which family's young master this is, to make you, Betty, care so much?"
Paskett touched Darren lightly with his wand while teasing Betty.
Betty huffed, answered "none of your business," and kept her gaze on Darren.
"Hmm, besides being a bit malnourished, everything else is healthy. Other examinations would require touching the magic core, and that would require this gentleman's consent."
Paskett smiled and put down his wand.
He knew Betty's personality; she wouldn't stay with any wizard who wasn't a pure-blood.
So this little gentleman should be a young master from some family.
He didn't dare to touch these noble young masters' magic cores casually; that would lead to being sued into bankruptcy by these nobles.
"Are you sure?"
Betty raised her voice.
Paskett ignored her.
How could his expertise not be accurate?
"How could this be?"
Betty muttered with a frown.
But she didn't say anything, said goodbye to Paskett, and brought Darren out.
"Little brat, as your future senior, I'll give you a piece of advice:
Do not tell anyone about your experience this time, especially don't say you were hit by a Killing Curse. Forget these things, understand?"
Except for Harry Potter, no one could survive a Killing Curse.
Harry Potter protected the magical world, and plus Dumbledore hid him, so he could be safe and sound.
But this little brat didn't have such good luck.
If people knew about his situation, he might disappear from the magical world tomorrow.
"I will go back and deal with that guy as soon as possible. Don't let it slip yourself. If you lose your life then, it won't be because I harmed you, hmph!" ===== CHAPTER 60 =====
