Hogwarts: I am Harry's eldest cousin

"Brother D, is it really possible?"

Walking in the clean white corridor of St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries, Neville asked with a nervous look on his face as he looked at Dudley beside him.

"Neville, this is the 378th time you've asked me this question."

"It really can."

Dudley answered like this. In fact, he could fully understand Neville's feelings at the moment. If it were him, he would probably be more excited than Neville.

"I tried many methods and tested many herbs. Finally, I succeeded in developing a medicine."

During this period, Dudley was not only developing his special potion, but also testing another potion in his spare time. Maybe this potion was irrelevant to Voldemort in the next war, but for Neville it was the best potion in the world.

"Although it's not 100%, I'm more than 80% sure that I can wake them up."

"Brother D, I..."

Neville spoke with a slight sob, not knowing what to say for a moment. Ever since he started training with Dudley, he had not shown this weak side again, but today he really couldn't help it.

"Thank you."

"Neville, your parents are unknown contributors hiding behind the scenes. They are heroes fighting on the front line against evil forces. I think they should not be forgotten by the world. They deserve a happy and complete family."

"It's not possible for only the bad guys to be happy while the good guys are broken up."

"I think that's... unfair."

As they talked, they came to Ward 49, gently pushed open the door and walked in.

"So I will cure them."

Dudley looked at the two adult wizards sitting on the hospital bed, playing like children.

This is why Dudley and Neville came here, he wants to cure the Longbottoms.

This was their fifteenth year at St. Mungo's Hospital.

The Longbottoms were both Aurors and elders of the Order of the Phoenix. They fought on the front lines against the Death Eaters. They escaped from Voldemort three times, uncovered countless plots of the Death Eaters, and made countless contributions to the Order of the Phoenix. They did not seek rewards (the Order of the Phoenix was a non-governmental organization without any rewards or benefits, and was purely for love), but only for justice in their hearts, and to prevent the dark wizards from continuing to harm others.

Later, because of carelessness after giving birth to Neville, the couple was captured by Bellatrix and other Death Eaters. They died in front of Neville, who was only one year old at the time. They were tortured by the Cruciatus Curse and suffered a mental breakdown. They stayed in St. Mungo's Hospital for more than ten years.

It can be said that Neville in the original work was cowardly, timid, and timid in the early stage, largely because he lost the care of his parents since childhood.

Although he eventually grew up to be a heroic figure, his parents still stayed in St. Mungo's Hospital and were never cured.

Fortunately, there is Dudley in this world, and he believes that the Longbottoms' condition is not incurable.

Dudley also saw that the treatment plan given to the two by the St. Mungo's healers was mainly aimed at neurological problems.

The doctors at St. Mungo's believed that the Cruciatus Curse only affected the body and was not a curse. The victim's nerves must have been irreversibly damaged, which led to the current situation. That's why they were working on the nerves.

However, their current condition is mental breakdown, not nervous breakdown. Physical therapy alone is useless. All their organs are functioning normally, but they no longer have the normal thinking patterns.

But this cannot be blamed on the therapists here. The main reason is that there is really no good way to treat mental problems in the entire wizarding world. Otherwise, there would not be so many mentally ill wizards in the wizarding world.

But according to Dudley's understanding, the Longbottom couple's current situation is that their consciousness has fallen into a deep sleep and their entire body has fallen into an excessive self-protection mechanism.

All Dudley had to do was suspend the protective mechanism and thus awaken their dormant consciousness.

It's quite troublesome to explain. Even with the help of magic, it takes a lot of effort to wake them up.

There is no such thing as mind magic in this world.

If Dudley had a mind gem or something, it would be much more convenient. He could just hold the gem and press it on the two people's heads and they would be restored.

Unfortunately, Dudley didn't have it, and the system didn't give it to him. The key point is that even if he was given it, whether he could use it in this universe is another matter. According to the setting of the Marvel Universe, the Mind Stone is just a beautiful gem when it leaves their universe.

So he could only deal with it through potions.

“The first step is reassurance.”

Dudley pulled a fluorescent green potion from his pocket.

"Mandra juice!"

Neville, who was excellent in herbal medicine, recognized the main ingredients in the potion at a glance.

"Yes, it's Mandrake."

Mandrake is a very magical plant. In ancient legends, it usually looks like an ordinary plant. When in danger, it will use its incredible power to disappear into the soil. Only at dusk on a full moon night will it transform into a human form and move freely. Its cry is terrifying and lethal, and close contact can even result in death.

The above is excerpted from the book "Mysterious Plants That Must Be Talked About". The author is unknown, but it is said that he is a master of herbology who lived at the same time as Hogwarts more than a thousand years ago.

However, this book is not recognized now, because the Mandrake in the wizarding world today is not like what is recorded in the book. Although its cry can cause people to fall into a coma, it does not have the power to disappear in the soil and it is difficult for it to even move. It will not transform into a human form and move freely. Most of the time, it is disguised as an ordinary plant.

Therefore, the book "Mysterious Plants That Must Be Talked About" has also been marked as a fake by many masters of herbal medicine.

But Dudley didn't think so, because his mandrake, called 'walking grass', had the power recorded in the book. It could move quickly in the soil, act automatically in human form, and had many magical powers to ripen plants.

Dudley suspected that the author of "The Mysterious Plant That Must Be Talked About" recorded the advanced mandrake, or the ancient mandrake.

According to the book "Mysterious Plants That Must Be Talked About", Mandrake has another important function - it is the main ingredient for the potion to treat 'catastrophe'.

The symptoms of catatonia are similar to those of a vegetative state, and the body also falls into an excessive self-protection mechanism. The patient has breathing, heartbeat, and blood pressure, but does not have higher self-awareness such as intelligence, thoughts, will, and emotions. This is extremely similar to the current situation of the Longbottoms, so Dudley said he was sure.

Dudley had read many potion books about Mandrake (thanks to the collection of books at the Black mansion and Grindelwald's help) and made countless attempts before he successfully prepared such a small bottle of potion.

This is the key to saving the Longbottoms.

Chapter 387: The Cured Patient at St. Mungo's

Dudley uncorked the test tube, and a scent of grass wafted out from the bottle. Dudley sucked a drop with a dropper and then dropped it into Alice Longbottom's mouth.

Soon she fell into a deep sleep

Another effect of mandrake juice is hypnosis and sedation, and of course it also has the effect of removing strong petrification.

"How is it? Brother D, is it working?"

"Will my mother be cured when she wakes up?"

Neville, who was standing nearby, asked in a low voice with a nervous look on his face, fearing that his loud voice would wake up his mother and make the potion ineffective.

Dudley glanced at Neville and said, "Neville, you have good grades in Potions, so you shouldn't know this, right? Even if you grow a new arm bone, it will take a whole night."

"Things that work immediately are not called magic medicine, they are called miracle medicine. They have been in 'dementia' for more than ten years, how can they recover so quickly? It can only be done step by step, and it must be continued for at least a month before it will be effective."

As the saying goes, caring too much makes you confused, it is understandable that Neville would have such thoughts.

So Dudley handed him the test tube and told him, "Now all you have to do is stay with your parents every day for the next month. Remember to only feed them one drop a day, and you will know the results in about a month."

"I'll ask for leave from school, but you must make up for the missed lessons when you come back. Can you do that?"

Neville carefully kept the test tube and nodded vigorously to Dudley. He also wanted to accompany his parents well, especially he hoped that he would be the first one to see them when they woke up.

"If it doesn't work after a month, I'll think of other ways."

As long as people are not dead, there is hope. This world even has things like resuscitation potions that can bring the dead back to life. Magic potions that can cure mental breakdown should naturally exist as well.

Dudley patted Neville on the shoulder and left the ward.

Spend time with Neville and his parents.

After Dudley left, Neville immediately used the same method and dropped a drop into the mouth of his father, Frank Longbottom.

Looking at his parents who were falling into deep sleep, Neville's face was full of tenderness. At this moment, his mind was full of how they looked after they recovered.

He longs so much for his friends to hug him and to praise him. A simple "My son is great" will make him satisfied, even if it's just criticism.

After leaving St. Mungo's, Dudley did not go back to Hogwarts directly, but went to the Carrow family's manor.

The overall area of ​​the manor is slightly smaller than that of Malfoy Manor, but its protective facilities are much stronger than those of Malfoy Manor. The periphery is equipped with magical protection similar to that of Black's old house, and ordinary people cannot enter.

"The defense setup still needs to be upgraded. I'll give you some magic pumpkin seeds later. You can plant some in the yard."

Dudley briefly commented on the manor, then looked at Carlo who was standing respectfully behind him: "Well. How are the preparations going?"

"I'm ready and waiting for your dispatch at any time."

"Senior Carlo, have you thought it through? Once you start, there will be no turning back. Senior Tom will definitely not let you go. If you quit now..."

Dudley had barely spoken a few words when Carlo answered eagerly.

"Mr. Dursley, I thought this through several years ago."

Although the two of them still called each other "senior" and "sir", in fact, their relationship was very close and they didn't want to change the way they addressed each other.

Seeing that Carlo's attitude was so resolute, Dudley did not delve into this issue: "Be careful these days. Your uncle and aunt have already come out of Azkaban."

Amycus Carrow and Alecto Carrow, Richmond Carrow's uncle and aunt, were the Carrow siblings who were part of the Death Eaters who escaped from Azkaban.

He holds a high status among the Death Eaters and is also very powerful (professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts and Muggle Studies teacher in the seventh grade of the original work).

"Given the current development of the Carlo family, you may have been targeted. Please pay attention to your safety."

To be fair, if he were Voldemort, he would not miss such a good opportunity to reap the benefits.

Carlo narrowed his eyes upon hearing this, a trace of hatred flashing in the depths of his eyes: “If those two family scums show up, I will teach them an unforgettable lesson.”

If these two had not brought a large amount of liquid funds to join Voldemort and become Death Eaters, the Carrow family would not have almost fallen into the hands of a guy like Lockhart.

"What's more, there are those experts you arranged here..."

"Senior Carlo, don't be careless. Our senior Tom is not a man of martial ethics. If your subordinates can't beat him, they will be killed directly."

Dudley advised, "If you meet one, just run away if you can't beat him. There's nothing to be ashamed of."

"As an excellent Slytherin, I think you should know better than me."

"The rest are for you."

As he spoke, Dudley handed Carlo two test tubes containing azure liquid and silver liquid respectively, and taught him how to use both.

One is a magic potion, and the other is a magic gift (basic Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid).

It is called a basic model, but that is relative to Dudley. It is considered a very remarkable alchemical item in this world.

Carlo is Dudley's most important partner.

Dudley did many things in the name of the Carrow family. He didn't want anything to happen to this senior who had taken good care of him in his freshman year.

Before leaving, Dudley cast several spells at the manor and drew a few alchemy arrays in the corner to strengthen the manor's defenses.

In the following days, both the Ministry of Magic and Hogwarts were quite peaceful. Dumbledore stayed at Hogwarts honestly, teaching and educating people, and pursuing his career as the headmaster. Fudge did not act rashly and continued to be the Minister of Magic. Even the Death Eaters seemed to have calmed down, and there was not even a move from the group of blatant rebels led by Karkaroff.

It was as if they had returned to the time when Voldemort disappeared and all the Death Eaters were captured. However, the wizards who had more resources knew very well that beneath this calm there were turbulent waves that could swallow people up at any time.

In this way, a month passed peacefully.

That day, Neville pushed open the door of the ward as usual, and what came into his sight was no longer his parents sitting in a daze on the hospital bed, but people standing by the window looking at him with a smile on their faces.

The turbidity in their eyes disappeared and they regained their clarity.

This means the potion Dudley gave him is working.

His parents recovered!

"Neville?!"

"Dad, Mom!"

In the small ward, the family hugged each other.

Half an hour later, a witch with gray hair and a serious face appeared in the room.

Neville's grandmother Augusta Longbottom.

Three generations finally got together.

Chapter 388 The Harry Potter Movie is coming soon

The recovery of the Longbottoms is a great joy to the Longbottom family and also a great thing for the Order of the Phoenix.

Neville followed what Dudley told him before he left, and did not publicize his parents' recovery in a big way, but let his grandmother find a random reason to take them away.

The doctor at St. Mungo's thought that the family was planning to go home to recuperate, so he didn't say much and just wrote a note to release them. Anyway, it was just a simple hospitalization at St. Mungo's, and if they could be cured, it wouldn't have dragged on for more than ten years.

So the family happily returned to the old house in Longbottom.

After living there for some time, they found an opportunity and the Longbottoms and Neville came to Hogwarts Castle together. Moody also came with them. He could be said to be their teacher. He was the one who taught the two before his retirement.
