67 Chapter 67

Dumbledore arrived at Paul's house at eight o'clock on time.

"Good evening, thank you very much for having me." He brought a bottle of oak ripening mead.

"Please come in." Pauci invited him in, and the room was filled with the sweet smell of sugar cake. Dumbledore took a deep breath and exclaimed, "Great, I can't wait!" ”

With a smile on her face, she was led to the dining room, where Tom had told her to sit half an hour earlier. "Tom has been waiting for you." She said, "You can talk for a while, and you can have dinner for a while." With that, she slipped into the kitchen. Red is in the kitchen setting plates, and Paise says that all chefs are men, so Red must have a talent for that too.

Red shoved the cherries into his mouth as he posed, and when he saw Paul eavesdropping on Dumbledore and Tom in the dining room, he said, "Does this work?" ”

"Don't make a noise." Baosi waved his hand to silence him, "You can bring out the stew." She commanded, now all she wanted to know was what the two men in the restaurant were going to talk about.

Redd neatly brought the stew off the stove and eavesdropped with Rose.

"Tonight was wonderful." Dumbledore said.

"You're very welcome." Tom said.

"Dinner must be delicious." Dumbledore said.

"You're so polite, I heard that you are my professor and Professor Red." Tom said.

"Hehehe. Rhett, like you, is a smart kid. Dumbledore said.

Red shook his head and walked away, uninterested, "I don't think they're going to say anything." "It's just two old foxes.

Bao Si also felt that this was the case, and she was worried: "How can I know if your father is really amnesiac?" ”

Rhett pretended to think about it, looked up and said, "Let him tell you the password to the vault?" If he remembers. ”

Pauth angrily slapped Red and brought the dish out.

She didn't get any valuable news about this dinner. She didn't know if Tom really couldn't remember anything, and Dumbledore didn't seem to have the slightest interest in it. It's as if he's really here for dinner. Angry, he brought him a tray of sugar cakes after Tom's 'illness' came to the Duke of Honey for the fourth time.

Red seemed to be very happy to see Dumbledore choking, and enthusiastically asked him to 'eat one more', 'please eat one more', 'this is something Mommy made for you, please eat another one'. Later, Paules was afraid that Dumbledore would really eat bad and stopped him.

The next day, Palazzo takes Tom to the Headmaster's office before going to the Ministry of Magic to expunge his death certificate, and she must make sure that Dumbledore really thinks it's okay to do so. She even thought that Dumbledore had been impersonated.

"Mr. Headmaster, I really don't know what you're thinking! Why don't you seem to care about it? Before leaving, she pulled Dumbledore aside and whispered.

"Rose, I'm sure Tom will change. If he didn't lose his memory, then what made him do it? Dumbledore blinked slyly, "You know, Tom Marvolo Riddle is dying to give Voldemort peace of mind." ”

His last words made Rose think about it until she got to London through the fireplace.

"Be careful." Tom pulled her to avoid a speeding Muggle car.

The two of them walked through the street arm in arm.

- That's right. Only when 'Tom' is indeed dead can 'Voldemort' identity be perfect. So, if Tom wants the Ministry of Magic to reinstate him to his original identity, does that mean he really can't remember anything?

They had come to the Ministry of Magic, and Paose had been there once before to get a certificate of Tom's death. At that time, the Ministry of Magic had verified the authenticity of their marriage in a way, and since she said that she was a Muggle and could not find Tom's body, Tom's death certificate was very good.

And now she has brought a big living man with her, and the wizard who had done the proof for her has to use various methods to prove that Tom in front of him is indeed 'Tom Marvolo Riddle' himself.

"Ma'am." The sem-named witch was powerless to say, "That's hard! You said your husband was dead, but it looks like he's just missing. He complained that it had created him a lot of unnecessary work, that he had to write a lot of reports for it, and that he might even be scolded by his superiors.

Pauss covered her face with a handkerchief and was about to cry, 'I'm just a Muggle, how do I know how a wizard died?' To be honest, I thought a wizard would turn into a tree or a rock when he died! Anyway, all wizards think Muggles are stupid, so whatever she says, isn't it? As far as she knew, the world of Soul Fringers and Truth Pills was as rare as a super-A-level agent of the CIA, and a clerk in the household registration section of an ordinary police station would not have that kind of ability.

But before she could speak, Tom said, "I'm sorry, my wife is a Muggle, she doesn't know what happened to me, because she thought I was dead because I never came home." ”

Pauss felt a bit harsh to hear him say that in person.

"So what's going on?" Sam, a member of the Ministry of Magic, was also curious, what caused this man not to come home for more than ten years, and his wife thought he was dead?

- Didn't he have another lover?

Sam always felt that was the truth. And the man came home again, and then he made up a lie to deceive his Muggle wife.

Tom calmly said that he had been creating his own potions, that something might have gone wrong, and that he had lost all his memories and had only recently returned home.

"I see!" It dawned on Sam that he didn't believe it at all! This wizard is definitely cheating on his wife. Poor Muggle woman, she must have thought wizards were like that.

Sam had to re-register Tom Marvolo Riddle as alive, and he had to write a report about seven feet long about the matter. When he had done all this, he personally escorted the couple out of the house and whispered to the poor Muggle wife, "Actually, it's a piece of news in the newspaper." After all, I think his friends must have wanted to know that he was alive. And since he is so sick, how about you go to Gringotts and have a look, maybe he has saved another vault in the past few years? He veiled the Muggle woman of her lost and recovered her husband's coffers, and warmly called her a member of the Wizarding Family Affairs Department.

"If there are any questions, you can give her a call first and she will remind people like you...... How Muggle wives protect themselves. He told Paules again and again.

"Thank you so much, you are so considerate!" Rose shook his hand until he was out the door.

Tom stood outside the door waiting for her, and he caught the eyes of many witches.

"Let's go." As she walked over, he reached out for her arm to hold onto, which made her suddenly feel a little vain.

Walking through the streets of London, Paucus casually asked him if he would like to go to the Daily Prophet and post a notice telling everyone that he was still alive.

"Okay, maybe we'll go now?" Tom unexpectedly cooperates.

In the editorial office of the Daily Prophet, they were warmly received by the healing Menfa Skeeter. When he learned of this strange thing, he tried to convince them that they didn't have to spend money on a posting, and then he asked Tom a lot of questions, and although Tom said he didn't know, Paoth was willing to tell them about their 'happy life' in London and Godleck's Valley.

"Oh, that's amazing! I mean, it's so touching! Menfa Skeeter wrote six pages before he stopped, and if he hadn't asked the editor-in-chief for a page, she would have thought he wanted to write a memoir, "The Poor Wife: A Woman Who Married a Wizard."

They returned to the castle after some purchases in Diagon Alley.

"How's it going today? Is Dad alive? Seeing them come in, Red put down the newspaper in his hand and asked with a smile.

Paucus glared at him secretly, in fact she didn't understand why Red was so hostile to Tom - he used to be very fond of his father.

"Don't talk about that, come in and help me chop the onions." Pauss motioned for him to come into the kitchen, and then quickly explained what they had done today, and she needed to hear from others.

"So you can see the door law report tomorrow? That must be interesting. Red laughed and put down the onion and went out, and Paose saw him in front of the fireplace in his living room calling Menfal Skeeter.

"Oh, Rhett, my dear friend! Don't worry, I'll make everyone sympathize with your mother! "It looks like he can't wait to promise something.

"Don't worry, old friend. I have a lot of confidence in you. "I just wanted to ask you, can you write me on it too?" I can give you a few photos. We are a family. ”

"Really?" Menfal Skeeter almost felt like he was going straight out of the fireplace. "Rhett, this really doesn't look like you! I mean, if you want to be famous, you could have done it as early as last year. He seemed to be a little confused, and in fact neither was Rose, who was puzzled as she listened.

"Just a few minor issues." Red waved his hand, borrowed the camera from Menfa Skeeter through the fireplace, called out Pauche from the kitchen, and went to bring Tom out of the bedroom, and then the family of three sat in front of the living room fireplace and took several pictures.

"It must be a good one." Rhett returned the camera to Menfa Skeeter, "I'm looking forward to seeing you report." ”

- What are the father and son doing?

Ross didn't understand at all. For the first time, she found herself like an outsider. But even then, she could feel the tension between Tom and Red.

The next day she secretly ran to Dumbledore and complained to him, "The two of them are too much! Every day with the same smile in front of me...... ......She didn't know how to describe it, but before she came out, she gave them both father and son jobs, Tom to clean the kitchen drains, and Red to clean the bathroom, and if they were done before she got home, then they could remove the curtains and wash them.

"Cold War?" It was a Muggle word that Dumbledore had learned, and he thought it was a good fit to put it here. He understood the word to mean to look good on the surface, and then fight under the table.

Ross glared at him fiercely. Compared to her anxiety, Dumbledore looked too relaxed.

"Professor!" She shouted.

"Okay, okay." Dumbledore had to put down the Daily Prophet in his hand, take off his crystal glasses, wipe them in his hand, put them back on and said, "Rose, I don't think you have to worry about it at all. He pushed the newspaper to her, "Look, Red did a great job, didn't he?" ”

Puzzled, she took the newspaper and was startled by a huge photo!

The photo shows a family of three, sitting on a couch with grease stains on her apron, while Tom and Red stand side by side behind her, and anyone who sees them will recognize them as father and son. And that almost full page story told a tear-jerking story.

A strong Muggle woman marries and gives birth to a child with a witch who likes to do dangerous experiments and one day makes herself stupid. 'Is it a spell or a potion?' Nobody knows. After the strong wife did not hear from her husband, she had to admit that he might have died. When I heard her say this, I felt very much sympathy for this poor woman. What kind of dangerous experiments did her husband usually do in his home to make this wife, who knew nothing about the wizarding world, think that her husband might have died? ’

Pauss read the entire report almost in a stupefied manner, and there was even an interview with the Ministry of Magic.

Years later, when the wizard reappeared, the venerable Muggle wife accepted him immediately, and even why didn't he come home for so long? Where? Do? With whom? Didn't even ask. Seeing her lead this wizard back to a world she was completely unfamiliar with, my heart was filled with admiration! ’

Paise put down the newspaper, and Dumbledore asked her curiously, "What do you think?" ”

She didn't even know what to say.

Dumbledore sighed, picked up the newspaper again, and said, "I guess Tom must have lost his memory." That's why he allowed such a story to be published in the Daily Prophet. ”

"Ahh Ross suddenly understood! She jerked to her feet!

Dumbledore saw that she understood before he continued, "Just as you used Tom's death to lure the Death Eaters, he now uses the same method to attract his companions - he doesn't believe in us, and he doesn't believe that it's all normal now, including his amnesia. ”

- Why didn't she think of it?

Paucus was overwhelmed with urgency. She thought Tom would be cautious, and he would be quietly tempted not to use such means. It's too ...... It's so unlike him!

"Tom is in a hurry." Dumbledore looked at the photo of Red and Tom standing together in the newspaper and smiled, "But if he wants to do something, Red at least makes it eighty percent believable." "As long as Rhett Tom is standing together, no one will suspect that they are not father and son. And this report also points out the identity of Paus, an 'ignorant' Muggle woman.

- The whole thing will turn into Tom's personal conspiracy, and it has nothing to do with Rose.

"So," Dumbledore asked Pauss to sit down, "you don't have to worry about it. "Rhett will take care of everything.

"Let their father and son figure it out on their own." He said with a smile.
