On Sunday, Pauline's house was cleaned up. If there's one complaint about living in the castle, it's that the floor never seems to be cleaned. Or maybe it's just a delusion on her part.

Red has been fascinated by Quidditch lately, and it seems that he has found an easy and effective way to attract multiple people, so even though he is only in his second year, he has become a popular member of the Slytherin Quidditch team.

"Actors and singers can also go into politics! As long as there are enough supporters! "He's ambitious! It was probably the Quidditch season that he found confidence - it was the first time he had found himself so influential. Although he was not famous, it was his plan that affected the entire Hogwarts atmosphere.

It was sunny outside, and he ran out early in the morning with a broomstick, and even had to eat breakfast with his teammates. He is now throwing himself into his great cause.

Ross was lying on the floor mopping the floor, using a wizard's powerful stain remover, which seemed to her to be no different from a Muggle. She was rubbing hard against a black spot on the floor near the fireplace, it didn't look like a fireplace spilling sparks, which she suspected was caused by a potion or a curse made by Red. It didn't take her ten minutes to get it to go away.

"Oh, shit!" Ross straightened up and slammed the rag on the floor.

'Huh. ’

The sudden laughter didn't startle Paus, she was used to these elusive wizards. When I looked up, Tom's head was floating in the flames of the fireplace.

'Baosi, long time no see, are you okay?' ’

"Very good." Rose turned around and picked up the vase on the table and splashed the water inside into the fireplace, she stared at the fireplace curiously, "What do you think?" The water seemed to have poured directly through the fireplace on him, and she had just wanted to see if she could hurt him.

Tom calmly waved his wand, splashed his head and disappeared with petals on his face. He should have thought of it a long time ago, didn't he? Pauss always surprised him.

Paise took out a pair of demon-slaying crystal glasses from her apron pocket and put them on, which she bought from Diagon Alley, she heard that it can effectively defend against dark magic, she asked Dumbledore to see it, he thinks that although it can't be said to be completely useless, but at least it has a certain effect on the magic that requires direct eyes to look at the other party's eyes.

That's exactly what she needs!

"Is there anything wrong with you?" She wore thick glasses with the bottom of the bottle, and it looked as if it had shrunk several times, Tom said.

Tom felt a little irritated, and although Pauche was a Muggle, he had always known that Muggles had many misconceptions about wizards, but she had always been wise. At first glance, you can see that this is a deception, what is going on with the glasses?!

Pauss felt a light on her face, and when she came back, she saw Tom throw the enchant-slayer glasses aside, and he asked her solemnly, 'What about Red?' ’

Pauss thought about it for a moment before deciding to tell him, "He's going to play Quidditch, and he loves the sport." ”

He didn't look dissatisfied, but nodded and said, 'I've heard, he's doing a good job.' ’

So, was he glad that Rhett did that? She thought he would be angry.

The two of them were silent for a moment, and they were silent.

Then, don't let him slack. I waited for him. Tom said, and then it looked like he was going to disappear. Baosi quickly stopped him, glanced at the kitchen and said, "That...... There are baked cookies, would you like to have them? ”

She didn't know how to face him for a while. It seemed strange that they were supposed to be very close, but it seemed strange to see him as a guest, but it was not normal to raise a gun when she saw him—she found that she already thought it was normal for Tom to do bad things.

Tom looked at her: '...... Good. Then he disappeared from the fireplace with a plate of cream cookies.

Pusher regrets not putting some Red in her cookies as a curse potion. When Red returned in the afternoon, he went straight to the kitchen as soon as he entered, apparently hungry. He came out with a biscuit, his mouth stuffed full: "Only hazelnuts and chocolate? Mom, I thought you would make cream. ”

"Gave it away." Pauss brought him hot juice, "Give it to your father." ”

Red squirted the cookie crumbs out of his mouth with a pop, and he turned his head to look at her in disbelief as if she had a pair of donkey ears.

"He probably just wanted to come and see you." Ace felt like she was trying to persuade her children not to hate their divorced father, and she told Rhett with a pleasant face.

"Mom!" Red jumped up from the couch.

"I know, I know." "But Rhett, it was so sudden, I didn't expect him to dare to appear again." So, you know, even I was too slow to go back to the bedroom to get the gun, but luckily he just said a couple of words and left. ”

"Where did he come from?" Red with a cookie in one hand and a wand in the other, spun around the room.

"Fireplace, only his head."

"I'm going to fill the fireplace!" Red said firmly.

"Oh, Rhett, we need a fireplace. You can't do that. Seeing that he was still standing in front of the fireplace, and seemed to be thinking of a hundred ways to plug the fireplace, she sighed and went back to the kitchen. By the time she came out with a large plate of spaghetti bolognese and a plate of fried chicken thighs, he had already drawn three or four magic circles on the fireplace, and even the sofa in front of the fireplace had been removed.

She put the food on the table and looked back to see him drawing and holding his wand and whispering incantations, small sparks of magic exploding.

"Come and eat, you must be hungry." Pauss called him.

Red went to wash his hands before coming over, filled his plate with a full plate of noodles, and said while eating: "I drew a few magic arrays, and he dares to come again, hum!" ”

Although Red was looking forward to Tom's return, and even Rose wanted to know what the magic circle was all about, he didn't come back. By the time Red was in sixth form, he became a Slytherin prefect like Tom.

He's becoming more and more like Tom, everyone says that, even Pauss, and sometimes she looks at Red and thinks it's Tom back, especially when he's standing in front of the fireplace or sitting on the couch.

He was very popular, and there were many female students pursuing him in all four houses, and the female students in Slytherin were particularly fanatical. One of the schoolgirls, surnamed Black, was enthusiastic about him, her name was Bellatrix, and she was a year younger than him. When she learns that Lucius Malfoy and Narcissa Black are in school, and that they are in third and second grades, she warns Red to stay away from them.

Red looked at her strangely, "Mom, they're only twelve or thirteen years old, do you think I can play Quidditch with them or take lessons together?" ”

"That's good." Paussy said she felt uneasy. Seeing how familiar the names made her feel that her fate was getting closer and closer, maybe just a little, she didn't want to see Tom die a tragic death after becoming the infamous Dark Lord. Although she thought he deserved to be punished, he could just go to Azkaban without becoming a monster.

So she asked Red, "Are you sure you can send Voldemort to Azkaban?" ”

Voldemort was still a legendary figure all these years, and no one had actually seen him, but many well-known people expressed their willingness to follow him, calling him 'our master', and it became an honor to pay allegiance to him. It seems that they did a lot of things, but no one really caught him.

Red frowned and said, "Unless he does something, just a little big talk in the newspapers won't send him to Azkaban." ”

"Actually, I want to say that you don't really have to wait for him to do something," said Rose. "She still doesn't want Tom to kill again and go to Azkaban, maybe there's a compromise?

Rhett suddenly realized: "Why didn't I think of it? ”

Very much, there were a lot of bad stories about Voldemort and his Death Eaters in the Daily Prophet, written by a journalist named Menfal Skeeter, who used a speculative way to accuse the Death Eaters of a number of crimes, including a rainstorm in the suburbs of London, which was said to have destroyed many wizards' backyards.

Paules knew that Rhett had all this to do, and Menfa Skeeter had a daughter named Slytherin named Rita Skeeter, who loved to run after all the famous people in the school, and always seemed to find out what others didn't want her to discover and get the best out of it. After learning that her father was a reporter for the Daily Prophet, Red befriended the third-grade girl and quickly gained her friendship.

Red began to discover the charm behind these younger than his students, their parents! It is much easier to subdue these little children than it is to subdue those who are his same age or higher than his college students, and through their parents and family he has much to gain.

"Don't cross the line." Pauss warned him, "Don't think you're smart, there are smarter people in this world than you." She thinks Red is going to suffer a big loss, if he continues like this.

It's a pity that the public doesn't believe much in such reports, and people mostly take them as a joke. However, the Death Eaters were very upset about this, and Menfa Skeeter was approached, and after he was attacked, the Dark Mark floated in the night sky of his house.

The whole London wizard was shocked!

Although the Ministry of Magic Aurors showed up, they were only able to get Menfa Skeeter to St. Mungo's Hospital of Witchcraft and Wizardry. The first thing the reporter did when he woke up was to inform him that the editor-in-chief had made room for him on the front page, and then he wrote a large report from his hospital bed, which was immediately published in the Daily Prophet.

As the other wizards knew, the attack had only added credibility to Menfa Skeeter's previous report.

From Menfa Skeeter, the Death Eaters learned that it was the idea of Red Riddle, a Hogwarts Slytherin student. He was in school, and their Dark Lord forbade them to go near that school, so they targeted his Muggle mother, Parose Riddle.

They thought it was time to teach the young Slytherin a lesson.

Paucus goes to Diagon Alley every week to shop, and on this day she was picking up dragon horn powder in Diagon Alley when a black magic mark floated in the sky, and Diagon Alley suddenly became chaotic. All the shops were closed, and some wizards apparitioned in panic, and with a scream, a nod of fingers would always fall from the ground.

Pauss looked left and right, and she had to find a fireplace to leave, so she had to run around with her basket, slapping the closed doors as she went. She didn't know where the exit from Diagon Alley was, because she was coming in from across the unscrewed wall, was she going to find a wall to climb out of?

Calm, calm. She told herself as she quickly turned her brain around and figured out how to get out of here.

A group of wizards floated towards her like ghosts, and in the blink of an eye, they surrounded her. Without exception, they all wore hoods and black cloaks.

Death Eaters.

Why? Tom suddenly decided to kill her?

She slammed her basket at one of the wizards, and ran out of it with her head shut, with several spells on her back, and the pain was as severe as if she were burning, but she couldn't do much now, so she could only run with her skirt on her shoulder.

"Catch up with her!"

"Akris! How can you get her to run!? ”

"Damn! Isn't she a Muggle? Why does she use a scorpion sting spell? I burned all my hands!! ”

"Chase!"

Baosi panicked, the road ahead is getting narrower and narrower, God forbid, she won't run to Tumbledown Alley, right? But it's too late to run out. Why haven't the Aurors come yet? They're too slow!

The voice behind is getting closer and closer, God, God......

"Ah......h A hand covered her mouth and pulled her into the darkness.

"Shh Tom said.

Pauss gasped violently, as if wrapped in a black cloth, and the men ran past them.

"You're going to kill me?" Baosi asked in disbelief, hugging his waist, and the two kissed together.

"Nope." Tom's hand brushed over her cheek, "Red isn't good enough, he needs to be better, after all, if he treats me like an opponent." ”

He hugged Baosi back, his hand seemed to be doing something behind her back, and Baosi reminded him to remember to change the outfit before going home, so as to save him any trouble with the dark arts.

"He needs to be careful, or how dangerous it will be for you." When he finished speaking, the darkness left in an instant, and even he was gone.

Paucus was stunned for a second, then immediately ran out of the house, ran to a more open area, smashed open a shop door, rushed in, and used his fireplace to return to Hogwarts in front of the frightened shopkeeper.

Rhett was standing in front of the fireplace and was about to go out, when he saw her coming out of it, he immediately came up to her and hugged her and said, "Mommy! I've heard that Diagon Alley has a Dark Magic mark...... What are you doing? ”

Baosi took off her skirt and threw it into the fireplace to burn it with speed, and Red turned his back to her very politely: "Mommy? ”

"I met your father." When she went back to the bedroom to change her clothes, he stood outside the door and asked her, "What did you say?" ”

"Someone is attacking me." Rose already understood what was going on, she was too confident to think that Tom wouldn't hurt them, and she didn't know where that thought came from. She was convinced. But now she doesn't know what happened today, is he trying to teach Red a lesson?

"Mom!!" Red immediately wanted to rush in, but he still restrained: "Are you alright?" Tell me what's going on? ”

Paose came out and told Red what had happened, including what the men had said, and he sat on the couch with a gloomy face, touching his wand in his hand. She understood that he was angry, and that there were some things where he was inferior to Tom, such as Tom who never showed his emotions like that.

"I see." Red went out and didn't come back for the night. Paose didn't dare to sleep, and sat on the couch all the time, regretting that she shouldn't have told him everything. She had hoped that this would allow him to plan and think through things in the future. But what if he ran to get revenge on those people?

She walked around the room twice and ran to knock on Dumbledore's door. A few seconds later, the old wizard came out wearing a pompom nightcap and opened the door: "Please come in, please come in, Bass, you must have something very important, don't you?" ”

Pauss told him what had happened, "Where do you think Red is going?" Wouldn't he do anything dangerous? ”

Dumbledore brought her tea, sat down across from her and said, "Please try it, it's good honey tea." I heard that there was a dark mark in Diagon Alley in the afternoon, are you there? It's great that you're okay. ”

"Professor!" Baosi shouted anxiously.

"Okay, okay." Dumbledore took a sip of tea, took a biscuit, and motioned for her to take one too, but immediately said when he saw her eyes, "Rose, I don't think Red will do anything dangerous." It's not like him. I think he just needs a quiet place to reflect on the danger you've done for yourself, and that's something he's very sorry about. ”

This made Rose uneasy, and she wanted to go to Red's side immediately.

Dumbledore sat her down, "Rose, that's a good thing. Red needs to calm down a bit, he's been going too well all along. This made him arrogant, believing that he could control the fate of others. But fate is very mysterious, made up of many small places that cannot be seen. Sometimes a small oversight can have irreparable consequences. ”

Paussie sat nervously, admitting that Dumbledore was right, maybe she was doing too much? Protect him too well? The occasional little setback is good for him.

Early the next morning, when Ross woke up, breakfast was ready, and Red was standing beside her bed with a silver tray: "Do you want breakfast?" Madam? ”

She breathed a sigh of relief and gladly accepted her son's service, and the two of them squeezed into bed to share that breakfast.

Rhett was eating a sandwich as he flipped through the Daily Prophet, the second page of which had the Diagon Alley Dark Magic mark of yesterday.

The Ministry of Magic Aurors arrived just in time, and thankfully none of the wizards were harmed. ’

Red muttered, "It didn't hurt. He rolled back, his whole body stiffened, and Paose went to see: "What is it?" "It's a report of multiple accidental deaths.

"No trauma? Freeze to death? "Pauss never knew London was so cold in winter.

"Will wizards freeze to death too?" She said strangely. Red didn't answer, and for the first time he considered a possibility.

- Maybe my father is right......
