This was not the first time Potter and his gang had ended up in the Hospital Wing after a brawl with Severus. Sometimes even Camelia joined in the fighting and wound up there with them.
This time, seeing Severus in such a wretched state, Camelia had momentarily failed to hold back her strength, causing Potter and his friends to be blasted straight into the air and suffer fractured bones.
Whenever injuries like this occurred in the past, Potter and his group would, at Madam Pomfrey’s insistence, remain in the Hospital Wing for the night. Although such nights were usually spent hurling insults back and forth with Severus, they generally never missed an opportunity to do so. This time, however, was very strange; they hurriedly gulped down Skele-Gro and other healing potions and rushed to leave, even inventing the ridiculous excuse that they needed to write an essay. Seeing that they were unharmed, Madam Pomfrey gently let them go as usual.
