PS: This is a separate storyline and does not affect the reading of the main text.

Although Albert had warned Harry and Ron, seeing Hagrid enjoying his delicious mushroom soup was clearly more convincing than empty words.

Hagrid has already eaten two large bowls of mushroom soup and has not shown any signs of poisoning, so it doesn't seem like a pot of poisonous mushroom soup at all.

That said, it smells really good.

"I'll try it first. If I really get poisoned, remember to take me to the School Hospital," Ron joked to the people in the room.

Albert stopped trying to persuade him and just sat quietly to the side, holding Tom and feeding Fang.

Tom was curious and wanted to try the dog food, but he found that the food didn't suit his taste, so he didn't pay much attention to Albert feeding the big dog in front of him.

Albert watched Ron eat, poured himself a cup of tea, took a small sip, and muttered to himself, "Sometimes, why do you have to smash your head against the wall to be satisfied?"

Harry, who was standing nearby, frowned slightly upon hearing this, but then suddenly heard Ron say, "Harry, this tastes really good, you should try some... Hmm, strange, Hagrid, how come there's something like this here..."

Ron, who had just eaten a small bowl of the delicious mushroom soup, suddenly showed symptoms similar to poisoning. He fell off his chair, his limbs began to spasm, his eyes bulged out, and he foamed at the mouth.

Harry, who was about to take a bite, was so startled by this scene that he dropped his spoon.

"Ron, are you alright, Hagrid?" Harry shouted. "You'd better think of something!"

But Hagrid seemed stunned as well, staring incredulously at his bowl, then at Ron, who was convulsing on the ground, and suddenly became panicked.

"He's been poisoned." Albert looked at Ron lying on the ground, shook his head and sighed, "As expected, Gryffindor students never listen to advice."

"Think of something quick!" Harry saw that Hagrid was also at a loss, and remembered Albert who had just warned them not to eat mushrooms, so he quickly turned around and shouted anxiously.

"That's easy, just make Ron throw up what he ate," Albert said calmly, unaffected by the chaotic and tense atmosphere in the room.

"Oh, oh," Harry seemed to wake up suddenly and shouted, "Ron, throw up what you're eating!"

"You're not going to make him throw up?!" Albert was speechless for a moment, then looked at Hagrid and said, "You do it!"

Hagrid immediately grabbed Ron's ankle, lifted him upside down, and shook him violently, trying to make Ron vomit up the mushroom soup he had just eaten.

Albert watched this scene and suddenly felt a strange sense of amusement. However, the effect didn't seem to be very good. He walked over and punched Ron in the stomach. The unlucky guy was so hit that he spat out his food, which scared Tom and Fang to quickly hide to the side.

"Ron, Ron, are you alright!" Harry breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Ron vomit up the food, and immediately rushed over to him, shouting.

"I'll take him to the School Hospital." Hagrid picked Ron up and prepared to run toward the castle, but then he saw Albert pour him a cup of tea and hand it to him.

"Give him some water to help relieve the poisoning symptoms, and then you can take him to the School Hospital."

Hagrid didn't know why, but he followed Albert's advice. He had lost his own opinion and Albert was so calm that he had no choice but to follow his advice.

"Alright, let him go to the School Hospital. Madam Pomfrey should be able to cure him." Albert waved his wand, cleaning up Ron's Society for the Promotion of Elfish Welfare and the mushrooms on the plate. As for the pot, since Dumbledore or Professor McGonagall would probably be arriving soon, Albert decided to leave something behind and didn't bother cleaning it up.

A large number of students were watching in the corridor outside the School Hospital, all curious to see Ron's condition. Hagrid's carrying Ron into the School Hospital had attracted a lot of attention and curiosity.

Everyone waited patiently in the hallway outside the door, peering inside whenever someone went in or out, trying to figure out Ron's situation.

Food poisoning?

After listening to Albert's explanation, Fred and George exchanged bewildered glances.

"How stupid could he be to do something like this!" Percy covered his face with his hands, utterly unable to comprehend what kind of mentality it was to taste food after someone had told him it was poisoned.

Ron, on the other hand, not only took a bite but also ate a whole bowl. As he jokingly predicted, he was carried horizontally into the School Hospital.

Harry is now filled with regret, regretting that he didn't listen to Albert's advice. If Albert hadn't acted decisively, who knows what might have happened.

Hagrid, standing beside him, stared blankly. He couldn't understand why Ron was poisoned when he had eaten several bowls without any problems. Luckily, Harry hadn't eaten any. If something had happened to Harry, how could he face Lily and James?

"Madam Pomfrey will heal him, and it's not your fault," Albert casually comforted him. "Everyone has a certain tolerance to mushrooms. Some people can eat them without any problems, while others can have issues. Since Ron ate them himself, he needs to take responsibility for his actions. Consider it a lesson."

"If he had listened to you, this wouldn't have happened." Hagrid felt guilty because Albert had warned them beforehand, and this happened entirely because they ignored the warning.

Harry still remembered Albert's muttered words, "Indeed, Gryffindor students are all stubborn."

So he stopped trying to persuade her.

Watching them get poisoned, watching them get sent to the School Hospital.

Harry sadly realized that he had no one to blame but themselves for their greed and stupidity, which ultimately led to their downfall.

They're so stupid!

He must be laughing at himself in his heart! "What on earth is going on, Hagrid?" Dumbledore had rushed back, looked at Hagrid.

"Let me tell you!" Albert repeated what he had already told Professor McGonagall Madam Pomfrey.

"A pot of poisonous mushroom soup?" Dumbledore raised an eyebrow, suddenly unsure of what to say.

After all, Hagrid ate two large bowls without any problems, Ron got poisoned after eating only one bowl. Who can be blamed for that? Besides, Albert had warned them.

"I checked it, and it's a pot of poisonous mushroom soup," Professor Sprout said helplessly. "Just as Mr. Anderson said, most of the mushrooms in the basket are poisonous. It's hard to believe that anyone would cook them all together."

"But why?" Hagrid stammered.

"Antitoxicity, Hagrid, everyone has different antitoxicities, and obviously Ron doesn't, so he got poisoned by the mushrooms!" Albert interrupted.

"Minerva, could you please contact the Weasley Couple? They have a Magical Clock, and I think they should have already realized something's wrong!" Dumbledore said to Professor McGonagall beside him.

"Okay." Professor McGonagall left in a hurry.

Soon after, the Weasley Couple appeared at Hogwarts with Ginny! "You saved him, I heard it from McGonagall," Mrs. Weasley, grabbing Albert and embracing him tightly.

"Thanks to you!" Mr. Weasley patted Albert on the shoulder and gave Albert a hug in return.

Percy's face was grim. He couldn't understand why his younger brother was so stupid. He felt he hadn't fulfilled his responsibilities as an older brother, but it wasn't his fault at all.

At six o'clock in the afternoon, Madam Pomfrey allowed them into the School Hospital. It was quiet inside, with the curtains drawn and the lights on.

Ron lay in the hospital bed, his face pale, but he was clearly out of danger and had regained consciousness.

When Madam Pomfrey came to remind him that only six people could visit, Albert left with Lee Jordan, leaving Ron with his family.

When they were resting that evening, Fred said to them, "Ron will have to stay in bed for at least another two weeks."

However, the matter was not over yet. News of Ron's poisoning spread quickly the next day, and everyone seemed to think it was an accident because Hagrid had eaten it himself and was fine.

However, many people cannot understand why people could be so stupid. Why would you eat something that is clearly poisonous? However, when this story reached a reporter from the Daily Prophet, it took a different turn.

Harry Potter was poisoned?

Conspiracy theories spread through the newspapers.

Countless people are concerned about the safety of this savior, while no one cares about the real victims.
