The Wolf is Coming Ch. 59
St. Mungo's was very busy tonight. The doctors on duty did not expect so many patients to come at once. However, despite their complaints, they still treated the injuries of the injured seriously.
The situation of the little wizards was not bad, because their injuries were not too serious, but Sirius's situation was not optimistic. The doctors agreed that it was Emma's unskilled Shield Charm and the Killing Curse that mixed together, producing a new spell effect, which made Sirius fall into a vegetative state.
As for when Sirius would wake up, they didn't know.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have used that spell that I'm not proficient in..." Emma blamed herself a little. She felt that Sirius' current state might not be much better than dying directly.
Lupin was quite open-minded. He patted Emma's shoulder gently, "It's okay, you've done a good job. At least Sirius is still alive now."
Emma nodded, and suddenly remembered the conversation between Lupin and Daisy before, and asked curiously, "Do you know Abraham too?"
"Yes, of course. When we were in Wilvo, we were neighbors. We got along very well at that time, so we should be considered friends. But then... he left." After a pause, Lupin looked at Emma and teased, "I was wondering why Daisy suddenly acted so fierce. So he is your boyfriend now?"
"Huh?" Emma was stunned.
Looking at Emma's astonished expression, Lupin immediately understood.
He pointed at the Flora stone hairpin on Emma's head and told her, "Don't you know? This is Wilvo's famous love stone."

During the last period of the fifth grade, Emma always seemed a little absent-minded.
She had taken off the beautiful Flora stone hairpin. Whenever there was no one around, she would hold the hairpin in her hand and stare at it in a trance, with Lupin's voice echoing in her ears.
'Don't you know? This is Wilvo's famous love stone.'
Emma couldn't help but raise a helpless smile at the corner of her mouth.
She really didn't know.
Otherwise, she wouldn't be so stupid as to wear such a meaningful Flora stone on her head and flaunt it in the streets.
No wonder the werewolf named Daisy could see Abraham's thoughts at once. Those who could understand the meaning actually knew it, right?
In this way, the deliberate distance she had kept during this period of time actually didn't have much effect at all; who would have thought that Abraham would suddenly do this?
The semester ended, summer vacation came, and Emma returned to Hampstead again.
Just after putting down her luggage, she stroked the Flora stone hairpin in her pocket and discussed with Mr. Granger, "Can I go out now?"
"Going to see that brat again?" Mr. Granger said unhappily, "Can't we talk about it tomorrow? It's past four in the afternoon now, and it will be evening in a while."
"Well... I have something to do with him, it's urgent." Seeing Mr. Granger's face, Emma immediately added, "I'll be back early."
Mr. Granger snorted coldly and said nothing more. Mrs. Granger smiled and waved at her, "Go, go, remember to come back before dinner."
"Okay, I know."

Emma almost trotted all the way to Abraham's apartment, but she came up empty-handed. In the end, it was the landlord Mrs. Jones who told her that Abraham had gone to work and she didn't know when he would be back.
Emma thanked Mrs. Jones, and seeing that it was not dark yet, she walked towards the Blues Bar again; some things had to be made clear, and she couldn't wait to see him.
Most of the entertainment venues in Hampstead were more lively at night than during the day. Emma walked all the way and felt that there were very few people on the street.
Who knew that just after turning an alley, a rough big hand suddenly reached out from behind and covered Emma's mouth and nose with a handkerchief. Emma inhaled a breath of suspected knock-out drug without any preparation, and her heart was immediately alarmed. The hairpin she had been playing with in her hand fell to the ground.
She struggled desperately and wanted to elbow the person behind her, but she was held tightly. When she wanted to pull out her wand to give the other person a "Stupefy", her limbs began to limp, and no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't lift her arms.
Consciousness gradually blurred, and Emma finally fell into darkness.
·
After finishing his day shift, Abraham decisively asked for leave and left the Blues Bar early— tonight would be another full moon night, and he had to return to the apartment before the full moon appeared.
However, after just a few steps, he saw the familiar Flora stone hairpin again.
A homeless man was standing at the intersection, holding a hairpin with his dirty hand, and raised it slightly above his head, watching it shine brightly under the setting sun, "Oh, this is so beautiful!"
It was a gift he carved with his own hands and gave to his beloved girl, but now it appeared in the hands of a homeless man.
Abraham stepped forward quickly and almost snatched the hairpin directly from the homeless man's hand.
