Allen, Professor Mag, and the rest quickly retreated out of the tunnel. After leaving the attacking range of the whacking willow, they retreated again and retreated far away.
After canceling the Head Immersion Spell, they could smell the fresh and cold air in the Forbidden Forest. They couldn't help but take deep breaths as if they wanted to expel the foul air that they had smelled earlier.
Allen was even more so. He was like a fish that had returned to the water after a lack of oxygen. Every cell in his body was soaked in this fresh air.
"I really can't believe it! How did they get themselves into such a mess? Why didn't they 'clean up'? "Hermione couldn't understand.
That crazy and nauseating image appeared in their minds again.
Allen felt that he was about to lose control of his impulse. He really wanted to bury that tunnel and get rid of all the filth.
After a long time, Harry came over with Ron, and Professor Lupin came over with Malfoy.
The two of them had already been cleaned up. Their faces were extremely pale, and they hung weakly on Professor Lupin and Harry.
Allen and the rest couldn't help but step back and cover their noses as soon as they saw them.
Ron and Malfoy couldn't be bothered. In fact, after coming out for a breath of fresh air, their originally numb noses could now smell the stench on their bodies again.
It was really disgraceful to be seen in such a nightmarish scene.
They didn't even have the courage to look up at the others' expressions. The smell on their bodies must have disgusted them.
Although the sticky and hard stains on their bodies had been cleaned up, they still felt dirty, itchy, and uncomfortable all over as if thousands of worms had crawled over them.
Malfoy and Ron lamented in their hearts. Why did such a terrible thing happen to them?
"Everyone, I suggest that no one tell anyone about what happened today," Professor Lupin suggested.
Allen and the rest nodded in understanding. Even if they didn't get along, they wouldn't joke about other people's embarrassing matters and spread them around.
"It's alright. You guys just need to go back and take a good bath," Hermione couldn't bear to see their dejected and ashen faces and gently consoled them.
"At least two hours," Luna said softly.
Allen didn't want to talk. He held his breath and tried his best to control himself from giving Ron and Malfoy a "spring of clear water," the kind that poured from head to toe.
Just like that, the group quickly returned to the castle.
Although Malfoy and Ron couldn't wait to sneak back into the bathroom and hide.
However, Professor Lupin insisted on taking them to the school hospital for a check-up.
It was rare for two Magi to be in such a sorry state!
"He was accidentally contaminated with a powerful potion that can cause diarrhea!" Madam Pomfrey said.
"You can heal, right?" Ron asked expectantly.
"Of course," Madam Pomfrey said concisely and then put on a mask for herself, which was rare.
Harry and Ron suddenly looked at each other and closed their mouths. They both thought of two people — the Weasley twins.
At that time, Harry accidentally saw the twins secretly researching a powerful laxative, and because of that, he got a map from them as a friendly gift.
It seemed that the twins poured the residue of the potion on the roots of the Whaling Willow, but they didn't expect to harm their own brother.
After taking Madam Pomfrey's potion, everyone went their separate ways.
Under the strange gazes of passing Magi, Ron and Malfoy fled back to the dormitory as if they were being tortured, picked up a change of clothes, and hurriedly stumbled straight to the bathroom.
Ron threw away all the clothes on his body and washed himself at least ten times before he felt alive again.
Harry looked at the pale Ron worriedly. "It's okay, it's okay, it's all over."
"We have to hurry to the auditorium, the meal time is almost over," Harry suggested.
Although Harry had no desire to eat, Ron obviously needed to replenish his food.
Ron's mouth twitched. Although he felt that the last time he ate seemed to be a century ago, he had no appetite at all.
The auditorium was brightly lit. Allen and Luna had also rushed to the auditorium and were ready to eat.
Allen quickly went to his seat and was surprised to find that the long table, which had always been full of food, was only left with a mess of cups and plates.
Many Magi left the auditorium with a look of great satisfaction.
Among the food that was still intact, Allen picked out a cold chicken, a roll of bread, some pies, one or two plates, and a pair of knives and forks.
He had just hurried back to his seat with these spoils of war, and all the food, cups and plates on the table had disappeared.
"Well, it's more comfortable to eat in such a clean environment," Allen comforted himself.
Suddenly, Allen noticed that someone sat down beside him. It was Michael.
"You missed out on delicious food!" Michael happily sat on the other side of Allen.
Allen nodded. When he saw the scene in the auditorium, he guessed it.
"There are savory sausages from Arles, France, lobsters with bright shells, pink curtain clams, sea urchins with thorns all over their bodies like chestnuts, and all kinds of delicious snacks …"
Michael proudly announced the names of the dishes. He had succeeded.
Looking at the cold chicken and dry bread on the plate, Allen suddenly lost his appetite.
Luna's face faintly showed an expression similar to a smile.
"Maybe, missing out is also a good thing." She seriously comforted Allen.
But Allen had already put down his knife and fork.
Seeing this, Michael scratched his head and smiled mischievously. He quickly stood up and left the auditorium.
When Harry, Ron, and Malfoy arrived at the auditorium, the long table was clean and there was nothing left. Only the few of them were left in the auditorium.
"Great, we can go back and rest." Ron heaved a sigh of relief. Sometimes, too much concern for friends was a burden.
Harry shrugged. Just as he was about to go back, Ron suddenly stopped.
"Hey, Malfoy!" Ron suddenly called out to Malfoy.
Malfoy turned to look at Ron. In fact, he also had something to say to Ron.
"About today-" Before Ron could finish, he noticed that Malfoy's face had turned pale.
"Don't tell anyone." Malfoy stared fiercely at Ron without dragging out his tone, which was rare.
Then, Malfoy turned to Allen with a trace of weakness in his voice, "Allen, I beg you-"
"Of course, I already promised in the Forbidden Forest." Allen did not wait for Malfoy to finish and decisively promised that he would never reveal the secret.
Ron and Malfoy turned their heads at the same time and wanted to go out, but they bumped into each other.
The two of them snorted and turned their heads to the side.
