HP: White Lord of Slytherin

Chapter 78 Visits and Interviews

In Ward 49 of St. Mungo's Hospital, a woman with a round face and messy gray hair was half leaning on the bed with lifeless eyes and her hands constantly making meaningless movements. The man in the bed next to her was lying motionless.

Mr. and Mrs. Longbottom, who were the first members of the Order of the Phoenix, have now become like this. Their relatives and friends must be very sad to see this.

Gloria came to St. Mungo's Hospital after breakfast, donated 500,000 gold galleons, and then came to this ward.

Neville Longbottom would come to the hospital to visit his parents today, and she was waiting for him.

Around ten o'clock in the morning, Neville arrived at the hospital, and the healer who knew him quickly stopped him, "Neville, do you know Miss Slytherin?"

The heir of this ancient and legendary family suddenly came to St. Mungo's. The news spread throughout the hospital. He made a generous donation and went to Ward 49 where the Longbottom couple was.

Neville thought of Gloria, who had a good relationship with Harry and the others and was a kind person. "Not very familiar with them, what's wrong?"

"She was in your parents' ward," the therapist said. "She stayed there for almost an hour. You know, that woman is her aunt by blood."

The woman was naturally Bellatrix. Neville was surprised and a little angry at the same time. He thanked her and rushed to his parents.

When he arrived at the ward panting, Gloria had her back to him, "Ah... Slytherin, what are you doing here?"

Gloria turned around and said calmly, "You're here."

I didn't pay much attention to this round-faced boy at school, but it seems Neville looks a lot like his mother.

Neville mustered up his courage and walked into the room, "You...are you here because of that woman?"

"Bellatrix?" Gloria frowned, not quite agreeing with this statement, "No."

Neville walked to his mother's bed, intending to stand between her and Gloria.

Gloria understood his behavior and didn't care. "I came here mainly because the Cruciatus Curse was invented by one of my ancestors. It's evil, right?"

"Isn't it!" Neville, who has always been timid, growled, but he lowered his voice for fear of scaring the mother behind him.

"My family has produced many evil dark wizards." Gloria seemed not to have heard his growl, and continued, "But there have been a few very different people. The most special one is called Platinum. She is not interested in dark magic at all. Instead, she is full of longing for love. She is not conspicuous, and even other portraits don't talk to her much. She is from the Slytherin family, and she created a spell that many Slytherin heirs cannot cast."

Neville didn't quite understand what she was trying to say, "Are you here just to show off your dark and evil family history?"

"No." Gloria looked at him. "I'm here to make amends."

She handed a note to Neville, but Neville didn't take it and just looked at her warily.

"Go on, it will be good for your parents."

Neville stared at her for a while before slowly taking the note. On it was a spell: sagapo therapeutikos.

"What do you mean?"

"If the Cruciatus Curse relies on hatred, then this spell relies on love to work." Gloria said, "This spell is called Love Healing. It can only be successfully cast if the caster has a strong love for the cursed person. This love includes but is not limited to family love, love, and friendship. It can not only heal ordinary spell damage, but also serious damage caused by black magic... For example, the Cruciatus Curse, it can also heal it."

Neville shuddered, wondering if he had misheard, "The Cruciatus Curse... can also be used for healing?"

His parents were tortured to insanity, and over the years no potion or spell could cure them, so they had to stay in the hospital and be cared for.

"To be honest, I haven't tried it. This is what Platinum told me, but I think you will need it, even if there is a slight possibility."

Neville's eyes were red, and he lowered his head and stared at the note.

Gloria walked up to him and said, "Can I call you Neville?" Without waiting for his answer, she continued, "Neville, if you believe you can give it a try, and if you succeed, take time to come here every semester. Maybe one day your parents will get to know you again."

Neville gritted his teeth, tears dripping onto the note. He immediately wiped the paper and choked, "I'll try!"

Gloria patted his shoulder and said, "Neville, I expect you to heal them with your love."

This spell is very strange in the Slytherin family. It seems that no one has ever successfully cast it except Platinum. The other heirs think she is an outlier in the family, and the portraits ignore her. The parents that Gloria loved before have both passed away, so naturally she has never cast it.

Now let Neville try it. If he succeeds, he will not only save a brave couple, but also change the world's view of the Slytherin family.

After Gloria left, Neville sat down slowly, holding the note and looking at it for a long time. After thinking for a while, he pulled out his wand. After a moment, he swallowed the sob in his throat and read out: "sagapo therapeutikos!"

A faint golden light burst out from the tip of the staff and disappeared into the position of Alice Longbottom's heart.

Gloria left the hospital and called Coco who had been waiting nearby. They teleported several times to Yorkshire, where the Tonks family lived somewhere.

It didn't take long to find the correct location based on the address I had found.

Tonks's home was in an area where wizards and Muggles lived together. The front yard of the three-story building was surrounded by a white fence, and both sides of the lawn were planted with flowers of various colors. A light brown-haired woman was watering the flowers with her back to her.

The door was opened from the inside, and a girl wearing a loose shirt and jeans, with a pale heart-shaped face and black, shining eyes, shouted, "Mom, Dad said we can have dinner!"

Just as he was about to close the door, he saw Gloria standing in front of their house, her bright purple hair turning blue.

Andromeda, who was watering the flowers, followed the line of sight and saw someone. She put down the kettle in her hand, walked forward and opened the gate, "I didn't expect you to come, come in."

Gloria entered the house, which was spacious and warmly decorated, filled with photos of the family of three and their favorite items.

Mr. Tonks was a brown-haired, friendly-looking man, and he was a little surprised to see her.

"Ted, this is Gloria, the daughter of my cousin Rael." Even though the whole family knew Gloria's identity, Andromeda still introduced her formally.

Ted nodded and pulled out a chair. "Welcome, take a seat."

Gloria approached, and the whole family was a little nervous, but she was the first to extend her hand, "Hello Mr. Tonks, just call me Gloria."

Ted didn't react for a moment, then he reached out and shook her hand, "Gloria, Andy has been mentioning you a lot lately."

Gloria nodded. "I guessed it, so I came to see you."

The kind gesture made the family relax, and Andromeda took her hand.

They had already learned some things about Regulus from Dumbledore. Andromeda had been curious at the time as to how her cousin, who was only seventeen years old and was highly valued, could have died so quietly. Now she understood everything.

Gloria said to Andromeda, "It seems that your original choice was not wrong. Your husband and daughter are both doing well."

Gloria's words made the woman burst into tears. She wiped away her tears and introduced her daughter. "My daughter, Nymphadora, but she doesn't like this name and the nickname Dora. She always asks others to call her Tonks."

Gloria reached out to the girl whose hair had turned purple again, "Tonks, it's a shame you weren't a few years younger. That way we could still meet at Hogwarts."

But Tonks hugged her tightly, "It's not too late to meet now. You are really different! Little Leah!"
