Green flames rose from the fireplace as Professor Snape strode out holding Lin Yue, followed closely by Professors McGonagall and Flitwick.

The three professors from Hogwarts appeared at St. Mungo's in the middle of the night, and they were carrying a student. This was something that had never been seen since the establishment of St. Mungo's.

The medical staff, who rushed over quickly, paused in their tracks upon seeing the three professors, and many couldn't help but swallow hard. After all, how many wizards in Britain haven't come from Hogwarts?

There was a sense of returning to school when faced with these three professors. Fortunately, their professional training was rich; they only hesitated for a moment before a female doctor quickly stepped forward to take Lin Yue from Professor Snape's arms.

Looking down at Lin Yue, who was trembling all over with blood streaming from her mouth and nose, she couldn't help but frown. "What happened to this child?"

She looked up at the three professors in front of her, ready to confirm what exactly was wrong with Lin Yue.

"Cruciatus Curse, more than once," Professor Snape's deep voice sounded, as his eyes scanned everyone present. "We hope everyone will keep this confidential."

Professor McGonagall nodded in agreement, "That's right, for this child."

Now the heart-wrenching spell was uttered, all the medical staff's eyes widened in shock.

As for the professors' later comments about hoping they would keep things confidential, they didn't pay any attention at all.

Maintaining patient confidentiality was originally their duty; now, all they needed to do was to rescue the patient as quickly as possible.

The female doctor holding Lin Yue turned and sprinted towards a hospital room, shouting back to the nurse behind her about the magical potions she needed.

Professor Snape nodded to Professor McGonagall after hearing her shout, "I'll go back for a bit and be back soon."

After saying that, he walked back to the fireplace, threw in a handful of Floo Powder, and green flames erupted.

Professor McGonagall and Professor Flitwick quickly followed the medical staff, watching as they placed Lin Yue onto the bed in the ward.

As soon as she was laid on the hospital bed, Lin Yue instinctively curled up tightly.

Three doctors simultaneously drew their wands and used professional healing magic on Lin Yue, trying to stabilize her condition.

Three spells connected to Lin Yue, and her body finally relaxed a little.

"This won't be enough to stabilize her; where are the potions?! Not here yet?"

The female doctor shouted towards the door, "Merlin, how many years has it been since St. Mungo's received a patient injured by the Cruciatus Curse?"

Not to mention that this girl's condition is so poor, having suffered not just once but multiple times from the Cruciatus Curse. Which dark wizard is so powerful and insane?

To be able to use the Cruciatus Curse to harm a young witch right under the noses of so many professors and Headmaster Dumbledore at Hogwarts.

The medical staff present gritted their teeth, but fortunately, it wasn't long before a nurse rushed back with many potions.

"The potions are here; the potions are here."

"Get the soul stabilizer potion quickly."

One of the doctors reached out, and the nurse quickly pulled out a bottle from the potions and handed it to him.

The doctor quickly took it, passing the three doctors who were using magic on Lin Yue, and directly fed the potion to her.

As soon as the potion was administered, Lin Yue's body trembled even more, and a small whimper escaped her lips, "Wuu..."

The doctor frowned; this child had suffered too much damage to her soul, which was why she reacted this way to the soul stabilizer.

"Continue, get me another bottle."

The nurse did not delay at all, continuously handing him bottle after bottle of soul stabilizer.

After five full bottles, Lin Yue's trembling finally lessened a bit, and the blood oozing from her mouth, nose, and the corners of her eyes had stopped.

At that moment, the pillow Lin Yue was resting on had already been stained red by her blood.

"Merlin, five bottles and it's still not enough."

Unauthorized usage: this tale is on Amazon without the author's consent. Report any sightings.

The doctor was just about to turn and ask the nurse to continue providing the potion when he saw the nurse looking at him with a worried expression, speaking so quickly it was almost frantic.

"We're out of soul stabilizer!"

The range of the soul stabilizer's effect is very limited, and very few people actually need it.

Moreover, its ingredients are precious and difficult to produce; there are only a few potion masters in the entire country who can make it.

So, St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries only had five bottles in stock, and they originally thought that would be enough. Who would have known...

"We are out!"

The doctor's mind went blank, and the three doctors who were continuously using magic to stabilize Lin Yue's condition also turned pale.

Their magical output was too high, and they couldn't sustain it for long.

"Please hold on, everyone," Professor McGonagall said, removing her wizard hat and pressing her lips together as she looked at the three doctors. "Severus has gone back to get more potions."

If it weren't for her and Flitwick not being skilled in specialized healing magic, they would have already gone to help stabilize Lin Yue's condition.

Her gaze shifted to Lin Yue on the hospital bed, and Professor McGonagall's eyes became moist. What a foolish child, punishing herself with the Cruciatus Curse.

Once she wakes up, she will receive a good dose of criticism.

Of course, a gentle kind.

"I think this should be enough." Professor Snape strode into the ward, controlling a dozen bottles of soul stabilizer to fly in front of the doctors, along with five bottles of blood replenisher.

This time, he had used up all the soul stabilizers he had stored.

The doctor responsible for administering the potions to Lin Yue's mouth brightened up and quickly continued his work.

As the bottles of soul stabilizer were poured in, Lin Yue's trembling gradually stopped, and the doctor wiped the sweat from his forehead.

The most critical situation has passed; at least the child's soul should be safe now.

Next, they needed to replenish her blood, as the prolonged bleeding had already made Lin Yue's face pale.

Everyone knows to choose the blood replenishing potion from St. Mungo's over the one from the Master of Magic. After taking two bottles, Lin Yue's complexion returned to a healthy flush. The doctor who fed Lin Yue the potion couldn't help but click his tongue, noting that Professor Snape's abilities had indeed improved.

Seeing that Lin Yue's condition had stabilized, everyone's mood relaxed a bit. The three doctors who had been maintaining the magic retracted their wands and staggered back a couple of steps. Professor McGonagall quickly conjured a chair for each of them to sit down.

"Thank you, Professor McGonagall," the three said somewhat shyly, feeling a bit embarrassed to still be taken care of by a professor after graduation.

"You're welcome. Even if you've graduated, you're still my students," Professor McGonagall replied, shaking her head. She walked to Lin Yue's bedside and lightly tapped her wand, causing a clean hospital gown to appear in the bedside cabinet.

The gentlemen present turned their heads away out of respect, only turning back when the sound of changing clothes had stopped. At this point, Lin Yue had already changed into the hospital gown, and her pillow had also been replaced by Professor McGonagall.

Professor Flitwick sighed and stepped forward to look at Lin Yue, whose face had regained its rosy color, calm and serene.

"We still have areas where we haven't done well, especially me."

"This will be a long process of change, Filius," Professor McGonagall gently stroked Lin Yue's forehead, "You know, we can't rush it."

"Alright..." Professor Flitwick nodded, trying to pull himself together, "I think I should go find Miss Cho Chang and the others; maybe Lin Yue will feel better seeing her friends when she wakes up."

"Mm." Professor McGonagall smiled in agreement.

The medical staff were quite puzzled about why this girl named Lin Yue was tortured so severely by the Cruciatus Curse.

However, seeing that the three professors had no intention of explaining, they didn't dare to ask.

Professor Snape waved his wand, causing the remaining three vials of blood replenishing potion to land on the small cart in front of the nurse.

"Now, the potion makers at St. Mungo's are Mr. Trento and Miss Fina, right?"

The nurse shivered violently and nodded tremulously, "Y-yes..."

Merlin knew that as a Hufflepuff who graduated years ago, she was most afraid of Professor Snape.

During her school days, she was scolded in almost every potion class, and it wasn't uncommon for her to cry from the reprimands.

"Hmph," Professor Snape snorted coldly, "Tell them to come to Hogwarts every Sunday night. If the blood replenishing potion is brewed like this, the soul stabilizer won't be."

"After working for several years, that troll's brain still hasn't changed; is it growing reeds inside?"

Hearing this familiar "scolding," everyone in the ward, except for Professor McGonagall, Professor Flitwick, and Lin Yue lying in the hospital bed, couldn't help but shudder.

Professor McGonagall glanced helplessly at Professor Snape, who clearly wanted to help but insisted on saying it like that. This child, Severus...

Sensing Professor McGonagall's gaze, Professor Snape remained unmoved, tightly pursing his lips as he looked at Lin Yue on the hospital bed.

Lin Yue's condition had stabilized. Aside from one doctor who needed to stay for care, the other medical staff had rested for a bit and were preparing to rush out to continue their work.

Although it was the middle of the night and there weren't many people around, they still needed to be on duty!

However, before they could reach the door, Lin Yue on the hospital bed suddenly convulsed violently, causing the bed to rattle loudly.

Professor McGonagall and Professor Flitwick both took a step back, their wands drawn.

Professor Snape quickly stepped forward to stand beside the two of them, turning to look at the medical staff, "Get out! Quickly!"

The medical staff reacted swiftly, turning to leave, but...

Bang!

With a loud noise, the door to the ward slammed shut, and no matter how hard they pulled, it wouldn't budge.

"The door won't open..." a nurse said tremulously, her eyes darting nervously to Lin Yue on the hospital bed.

The little girl had just appeared to be in a critical state, and now what was happening?

"Everyone stay back, don't come closer," Professor McGonagall instructed as she turned back, then slowly moved forward with Professors Flitwick and Snape, positioning themselves in front of the medical staff to shield them.

What was happening to Lin Yue was beyond the expertise of these medical personnel, and they didn't have the ability to handle it.

In the eyes of the three professors, they could clearly sense that the magical power within Lin Yue was surging uncontrollably, and the amount of magic, which was already frightening compared to her peers and even adult wizards, was increasing at a geometric rate.

"Uh..."

Lin Yue lay on the hospital bed, her body slightly arched upwards.

In her mind, a series of blurry images flashed by, accompanied by several indistinct voices.

In a brightly lit underground laboratory, more than a dozen children, their faces unclear and no older than fifteen or sixteen, moved around continuously, operating various instruments.

“How long until… it’s completely finished?” a boy's voice asked.

“At least five more minutes… we still need… to…” a girl’s voice replied with remarkable calmness.

“They’re already… outside, we need to… time.”

The voices of the children were intermittent, like a radio with a poor connection.

Then the scene flashed again, showing several children exiting the underground laboratory and closing the heavy door behind them.

The image reappeared, revealing only their bodies on the ground and the blown-open door of the laboratory.

Other indistinct children stood in a row, holding each other's hands, their faces showing no fear, even smiling.

“We will… you must…”

“Deformed… blinded by profit… will not understand… childhood… power.”

A series of gunshots rang out, and large-caliber bullets rushed straight towards them, hand in hand.

Lin Yue's face revealed the most genuine and terrifying hatred for the first time.

"Ah!!!"

She screamed, thrashing and convulsing on the hospital bed, her hoarse voice and aching body showing no signs of hindrance under the exponentially increasing magical power.

All the objects in the ward began to shake violently, and the three professors exchanged glances before simultaneously casting protective spells in front of them.

Sure enough, the next moment, everything in the room except for the bed Lin Yue was lying on lifted off the ground, spinning in the air.

The furious, angry roars continued to erupt from Lin Yue's mouth. It was as if she was trying to shout her own ribs apart, her chest heaving with force.

Within seconds, the entire ward began to tremble, followed by the whole St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries.

Everyone still in the hospital instinctively grabbed onto nearby fixed objects, bewildered by what was happening.

"AHHH!"

With a beast-like roar, Lin Yue raised her hands and slammed them down hard on the bed.

The entire St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries shook heavily for a second.

The magical power within Lin Yue surged in an instant, and to the eyes of the wizards, she now resembled the sun.

With Professor McGonagall and the others present, everyone in the ward closed their eyes and turned their heads away, but the intense light continued to pierce into their eyes.

It stung their eyes painfully, and a rumbling sound echoed... rumbling...

A tremendous earthquake sound erupted, waking the quiet night of London.

People who were startled rushed out of their homes, shouting that there was an earthquake as they looked at everything around them shaking and ran towards open areas.

As Lin Yue screamed and vented, the entire London trembled in the darkness of the night.

At the same time, in different places, in the massive oak tree library, the gentle sister's sudden anger blurred the entire sky...

In the deep forest, a girl who was intent on dying stopped her steps towards the lake, turned around, and walked towards the small cabin outside the forest, her eyes darkening even further...
