60 Chapter 60
"Mom, do you and your father really love each other?" With dark circles under his eyes, Red asks Paussie about the problem that has plagued him all night at the breakfast table.
She was frying eggs and baking bread for him, and she was cooking porridge, so she was in a hurry early in the morning, so she didn't hear him.
"Eat, what flavor jam do you want?" She said as she brought him peanut butter, applesauce, strawberry jam, and orange butter: "Do you want to eat bacon?" The milk was boiling, and she quickly poured him a glass.
After Rhett had a bunch of things in front of her, she wiped her hands and sat down to serve herself a plate of porridge, and took the time to ask him, "By the way, what did you just say?" She thought about it.
Red was biting on an omelette in his mouth and looking at her with a slice of bread in his hand.
She remembered, her face froze for a moment, and then she said to him with a dreamy smile: "Of course, Red, you are the crystallization of my love and your father's love, of course we love each other!" β
Red rolled his eyes and lowered his head to drink the milk.
When Paucus finished speaking, she wondered how Red could have thought of asking this? He's old enough to worry about whether his parents are in love, and Red has never had that kind of slender nervous boy.
- Is it because he is in love? That's why you're interested in parental love? Because he had no one around him to tell him these things!
Paussy suddenly became excited, leaned forward and asked him eagerly, "Rhett, do you like girls?" β
Red shoved all the food on the plate in front of him into his mouth with speed, drank all the milk in one go, puffed out his cheeks and picked up his schoolbag and gestured anxiously, and then escaped.
Pauss only had time to shout behind him, "If you want to talk to me, I'm always available!" β
All day long, she sat there in the medical wing, sometimes worrying and sometimes laughing. Nurse Yi Nanding poured her a cup of tea: "Sit down, Baosi, let's talk." You've got something on your mind, don't you? β
Paucus wanted to talk to someone, but Red was an unusual child, and she didn't dare to tell someone about him when he didn't know it.
Nurse Nanding stared at her and sighed, "Tom has been dead for a long time, and little Red has grown up, why don't you think about your own business?" β
"What?" Paucus didn't react for a moment.
Nurse Nanding looked at her with a smile and said, "You still look very young, and the wizarding time is long, long, do you have to be alone for so long?" β
Pauss knew she looked stupid, and she had no idea that someone would say that to her.
Even though Tom is 'dead', she and Red both know it's not true. Moreover, the first marriage did not leave any good impression on her, which is probably the reason why she never thought about remarrying.
- Of course, she had absolutely no illusions about how Tom would react when he found out about it.
β¦β¦
She suddenly became interested.
Nurse Nanding told her to go back at four o'clock, because Red was out of class at five o'clock. She was so grateful to Nurse Nanding for being so considerate.
"Thanks, then I'll go first." She said.
When they got home, the castle elves had already delivered food to the kitchen. Since the last time she was attacked in Diagon Alley, I don't know if it was Dumbledore or Red, the castle house-elves began to make purchases for her. All she needed was to put the shopping list and money in the kitchen in advance, and every kind of food they delivered was fresh, and even some of them were processed, and she only needed to put the food in the pot.
She decided to ** wings and burgers today. Rhett looks like an adult in everything, but in some ways, he still looks like a child.
After marinating the chicken, she beats it lightly with the loose meat to absorb the flavor. That's when the door knocked.
- If it's Red, he knows how to get in.
He had a magic circle painted on the door, and when she or he came in, he would just push the door, and the others would think the door was locked. There must be a knock on the door.
She glanced at the clock, it was forty-twenty, and at this time only a few years of students in the castle had finished class, and professors like Dumbledore were still in the office.
Although she thought that there would be nothing wrong in the castle, the Diagon Alley incident still raised her guard.
Instead of rushing to open the door, she asked, "May I ask who knocked on the door?" β
The outsider paused for a moment before replying, "Hello, Slytherin Blake is at your disposal." β
Black?
It was a girl's voice, and it was from Slytherin, and it sounded like a girl about the same age as Red. Thinking of Red's strange question at breakfast, Pauss opened the door. Could it be Red's girlfriend, she wondered?
But when she opened the door and saw this girl, she knew that it was impossible, and the girl in front of her had haughty eyes, and she looked at her with disdain.
- Red doesn't like girls who are stronger than him.
"Please come in." She wasn't in a hurry to ask her why, and in only twenty minutes before Red returned. This girl probably wanted to pursue him, so she ran to the house, right?
She poured her a cup of tea: "Please." β
The girl just glanced at it and said thank you coldly, but she didn't even touch it. She didn't seem to have much interest in the furnishings of the room, and after looking around with contempt all the time, she still focused on Baosi.
"Are you a Muggle or a Squib?" She asked suddenly.
"What?" Rose looked at her politely, hoping she could explain.
"Riddle says you're a wizarding family Squib, and you just consider yourself a Muggle. So, are you a Muggle or a Squib? The girl stilted her legs and looked at her unceremoniously, as if hoping that she would give her a satisfactory answer.
Pauss smiled and said, "You can sit down for a while, I'm going to make dinner." Red is back in the end, and you can stay for dinner if you want. She didn't really like this kind of self-righteous child, and it would be wrong for her to think she had to answer her frivolous questions. For her, chicken wings in the kitchen are important.
She stood up and went to the kitchen, only to have a dazzling magical beam explode behind her! It was as if someone had thrown a flashbang behind her back. She quickly ducked behind the couch and waited for the light to fade before looking back to see the girl scorched black on the floor, her wand falling aside.
Meanwhile, Red was beside Dumbledore, and the two walked to the office as they talked.
"Rhett, I said it wouldn't work. Needless to say. Dumbledore said categorically. He actually wanted to ask him for help so that he could intern at the Ministry of Magic during his vacations, and said that there were such government interns in the Muggle world. It's whimsical.
"Red, the Ministry of Magic is not a Muggle Ten." Dumbledore was overwhelmed by Red's endless ideas, and he had too many ideas: "Is this what Pauss told you again?" "Maybe he should change his mind about Muggles, they are more thoughtful than he thinks.
Red suddenly screamed, he covered his arms, obviously under attack! Dumbledore immediately pulled him behind him and pulled out his wand to look around. He thought that Tom and his Death Eaters would not run into the castle, and that he should not attack his children, but was he wrong again?
Red's face turned pale, and he shook off his hand and ran frantically down the stairs. Dumbledore reacted, and he immediately walked into his office and hurried to Bows's house through the fireplace.
There was some mess in her living room, some messy footprints could be seen, the sofa and table had been removed, and he was about to do something when Red arrived, sweating profusely and clutching his wand in his hand.
"Mom!" He rushed in.
"She's not here." Dumbledore was nervous, but they needed to calm down: "Calm down, Red. She'll be fine. He asked, "Did you just notice something happened to Rose?" β
Red nodded, his mind was in confusion: "Last time, last time my father came out of the fireplace, I set up a magic circle in the house. IfγIf someone hurts mom at home, he will get hurt. Just now, when the magic array was activated, my magic power also received a response. β
In fact, the person who attacked the mother could die, and he would not give anyone a chance.
Dumbledore suddenly had a thought: "Wait a minute, perhaps, we are all wrong." He walked over to the fireplace and waved his wand, and a medical wing appeared in the fireplace: "Nanding, I want to ask, Rose?" β
It was a moment before Nurse Nanding appeared, "She, I'm afraid you need to come, Dumbledore." There's a student here...... Oh, I don't know how to say it. β
Dumbledore breathed a sigh of relief, though he didn't know what was going on, it wasn't Tom and his Death Eaters who were attacking Paucus in this room. He pulled Rhett, who still looked sluggish, and said, "Let's go to the medical wing." β
When he saw Rose in the medical wing ward, Red immediately ran to her: "Thank God, Mom! You're alright, are you? β
Baosi pulled him aside and comforted him and hugged him first: "I'm fine, but I have something to ask you." She whispered, "What are you doing at home?" β
As long as Mom was okay, Red calmed down, and he said lightly, "It's just a little guardian charm." "But it's a little bit stronger than the enchanted castle of Hogwarts.
Pauss didn't think they had time to say such nonsense, and that she had to let him know how serious it was before the girl's parents arrived.
"There's a Slytherin girl coming for you, and I thought she'd been your friend and let her in. But when I got back to the kitchen β I was ***winged, I didn't know what was going on, and then she was like that. "I don't know how to describe it, according to Nurse Nanding, the girl's magical attack is equivalent to a lightning strike, and it is really fateful that she did not die.
Pauth knew it wasn't going to be the kind of 'little' guardian charm Red had said.
Red thought for a moment, he first looked at the so-called 'friend', and then recognized who she was.
"Mom, hello go back first, leave it to me here." He knew that the Black family would be coming, and it wouldn't be helpful for his mother to stay here. He sent her to the fireplace: "Go back and clean up the house." He gave her a wink, then shoved her into the fireplace. He then contacted Professor Sgollahhorn, who had friendships with many large families, and it would be useful to have him here to deal with the Black family.
"Dear Red, you're disturbing my dinner." Sgollahhorn looked like he was enjoying his sumptuous dinner.
"Professor, I'm in big trouble." Red said heavily.
Sgollahhorn took a sip of wine: "How much trouble?" β
"The Black Family."
"Oh, I see." He wiped the grease on the corner of his mouth with a napkin, "Wait for me for a minute." β
After talking to Nurse Nanding, Dumbledore came over to Red and said, "Red, I'm afraid this won't be easy. β
"Yes, Professor, I know." Red said. He's thinking about what he needs to do to have an outcome that satisfies everyone β including him.
"Though Nurse Nanding was able to heal her very well, Miss Black was punished much more severely than she deserved. There's no way the Black family can rest on their laurels. Dumbledore first told him how serious the matter was, "So, are you willing to apologize to the Black family?" "It was obviously not appropriate for Paules to apologize, it would only infuriate the Black family, and it wasn't her doingβshe wasn't even a wizard.
"Of course I do." Red didn't understand what he meant, and he looked at Dumbledore in disbelief: "Professor." You don't think that an apology for this will make you understand, do you? "It can't be!
Dumbledore nodded when he heard that he was willing to apologize, and said, "You're just a student, and Miss Black is also at fault in this matter - if it wasn't for her rude attack first, your magic circle would not have activated." So I think you just need to sincerely apologize to Mr. and Mrs. Blake on this matter, and leave the rest to the school to decide. β
"Professor." For the first time, Red was at a loss to be next to him like a child, he was used to taking matters on his own, and no elder like Dumbledore had ever protected him like thatβhis mother might have done it all the time, but he thought it was up to him to protect her.
Dumbledore smiled at him to keep his composure, and then two angry men walked in to greet him, "It's a pleasure to see you, you must be Mr. and Lady Black, right?" Allow me to introduce myself, Albus Dumbledore, and I'm the Transfiguration professor at the school. β
"I've heard that someone has attacked the Black family! I wonder who is so bold! The wizard shouted.
"Of course, of course. Oh, this is Dean Slytherin. You must know each other? Dumbledore saw Sgollahhorn coming, and immediately said.
"Oh, dear Cygnus!" Sgollahhorn said this, as if he hadn't noticed the atmosphere. He hugged the couple and began to praise the witch hairstyle and handbag.
He interrupted and the couple's anger was debunked like a fake.
