It took a week for the Daily Prophet to show its effect.

It was a rainy Monday, and Paoth decided to go to Madame Morkin's Robe Shop in Diagon Alley to buy another set of pajamas for Red, and she also needed to remake a few clothes for Tom - he didn't have a single extra at home. In addition, she wants to buy some more Floo powder.

"Do you want to go out and about?" She asked Tom, who was sitting in the living room reading the newspaper. It seemed a little strange to leave him alone at home, Red went to school and she had something to do every day. For some unknown reason, he didn't go in and out of the castle by himself often, and Bao Ribbon took him out every time.

If he really can't wait to find his companion, why wouldn't he want to go out and try his luck? Or does he think that he has far more enemies than his companions outside? But even if she went out with her, she wouldn't even know how to use a wand, so what could she do?

"Okay, you want to go out and buy something?" He put down the newspaper.

"Oh, there's a lot going on." "It's important to make you a few clothes, it's going to get cold soon, and you'll need a lot of things." ”

"Did you throw away all my things before?" He asked suddenly.

Paussie was stunned, it looked as if he had wanted to ask this question for a long time. As a man who has been away from his wife and children for more than ten years, he may be curious why there is not even a single piece of his clothes in this family.

Pauss changed into her outing clothes, took her purse, and said to him, "You never brought wizard things home before, so you don't have your robes at home." ”

I don't know what he'll think when he hears this.

Tom simply nodded, "Oh." Then she took him by the arm and went out.

It's raining in London, in fact it's rarely raining. The road was wet and uncomfortable. As they made their way through the Leaky Cauldron to Diagon Alley, the drinkers in the bar all pointed at Tom before they recognized Rose. It seems that they were more impressed by this young, handsome 'husband'.

This feeling was evident in the robes shop, from the female shopkeeper who came here to make clothes, and the female clerks all let out a small exclamation at Tom as he walked in, and all looked at her sympathetically when they saw Paose next to him.

- Even when Tom died suddenly, she didn't receive so much sympathy when she was a widow.

"Hello, is there anything I can do for you?" The female shopkeeper greeted her.

Rose cleared her throat, looked at Tom next to her, and said, "I want to make a few sets of clothes for my husband, all seasons." Then she turned to him and said, "Dear, do you want to go and pick some styles?" ”

A female clerk came over and asked Tom to pick out the style, and Rose continued to say to the shopkeeper, "I think he needs about two sets of winter clothes, a cloak, and two sets of thinner robes for spring and autumn days, and if you have discounted summer cloth here, I would like to make a few more summer clothes." ”

"Of course. We have a lot of discounted fabrics, you can take a look here. The female shopkeeper kindly asked Baosi to choose the fabric, "I will give you a preferential price!" ”

With such enthusiasm from the shopkeeper, Paucus not only made clothes for Tom, but also robes for Red, and later picked out some fashionable fabrics for herself.

When she pulled the money out of her purse, the shopkeeper seemed to sympathize with her. Sitting on the sidelines from start to finish was just a measure of what Tom received from a lot of condemnation — it seemed that the report said that Tom was 'not working' at the moment, while her wife was 'working hard to make money'.

After coming out of the robes shop, Rose went to buy Floo powder, and along the way, some wizard care lotions and other cosmetics - the first time she bought these things was a bit of a struggle. After the purchase was completed, they went to the ice cream shop next to them and sat for a while.

"Would you like to visit anywhere else?" Pauss asked.

Tom kept looking at the wizards around him, and when he heard her, he looked back at her and said, "No." ”

"Then let's go back." Ross goes to checkout.

At this moment, pedestrians on the street suddenly screamed! Before she could react, Tom had already pounced on her and dragged her into a small shop next to her, and then the shopkeeper slammed the door shut!

"What's going on?" Pauche asked, but this situation was familiar.

The shopkeeper turned pale with fright, and his shop was filled with the smell of animals. He looked at Tom with a slight dissatisfaction, and replied, "You are so lucky! Those people out there are very dangerous! ”

Very dangerous?

Paussy looked out through the crack in the door, and the streets were all gone.

"Death Eaters?" She muttered.

"It's the Dark Mark mark." Tom said, and Rose looked up at him strangely. He didn't look as excited as he was to see an old friend, and if he did, he wouldn't have dragged her to the store just now. The Dark Lord who lost his memory made the Death Eaters true social terrorists.

He looked at the crack in the door for a while and asked the boss, "Is there a back door?" ”

"You're going out? It's too dangerous now! The boss was clearly reluctant to open the door, fearing that the Death Eaters would come to his house.

Tom stared at him, and Pause could clearly see the boss trembling. Then he pulled Ross straight to the back of the store, and after passing through a pile of miscellaneous items and cardboard boxes, they found a narrow back door.

Tom pushed her away, leaned out and looked left and right for a moment, then quickly pulled her out, and trotted all the way down the narrow alley behind.

Panting after him, Ross turned her head to look at the sky, where a large black mist-like skeleton was floating in the air, and a black snake crawled out of its mouth.

— which made her three points at her feet instantly.

In the long, curved and narrow alley, only one person can pass sideways, and no one can be seen at either end, and there are many corners. It seems to have grown moss on the ground after the rain, and it is slippery and difficult to run. Paus's feet were unsteady, and Tom immediately grabbed her hard.

He glanced back at her, as if thinking about something. She guessed that he was considering the possibility of leaving her?

As soon as she stopped panting, Tom pulled her to a small corner and hid her behind her, and she took him by the arm and whispered, "Where are we going?" ”

- If he doesn't remember anything, will he still know how to get out of Diagon Alley? Or is it common sense as well?

At some point, he had already taken his wand in his hand.

Tom looked alertly to the left and right and said, "Run to a place where you can get out." ”

So, in fact, he doesn't know the road, he just thinks that there must be exits at both ends of the alley to the outside?

Without waiting for Ross to say anything more, Tom suddenly shot a green spell in one direction!

It's Avada's Curse again! Even if he couldn't remember anything, was the spell already in his body like his instincts?

He fired several spells in quick succession, blasting the walls open, and a figure in a black hood could be seen hiding with his head cowered.

Tom nudged Paules in the direction they came from, "Run!" ”

Baosi subconsciously ran out with all her strength, and the sound of the spell exploding behind her became farther and farther, and she couldn't hear it almost instantly. The alleys were so twisting and turning that Tom couldn't even be seen.

She slowly stopped.

- Something is not quite right.

Why did she listen to Tom?

She turned back and took two steps. That feeling is getting stronger and stronger.

- Could Tom be kind?

Wrong!

Pauss immediately wanted to run back, but it was too late. A spell struck her, causing her to stiffen and fall to the ground. Then several figures wearing black hoods walked by, and she couldn't see their faces, and she couldn't even move their necks.

"Is that her?"

"It should be, we follow her all the time."

She was floated up, and then the men kept her floating, back to where Tom had been fighting. The fighting had stopped there, and out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of Tom standing right next to a fallen man. He held up his wand and looked over.

- Is she really a decoy?

The men stopped, as if they did not dare to approach easily.

Tom didn't come closer, he kept holding his wand and looking at the men.

"We don't have time to ......," a sexual urgency urged the back. This made the person in front of him seem to have made up his mind or something to take a step forward, and said to Tom, "Sir......"

His attitude was both wary and respectful, as if he did not know what to do.

A heart-piercing bone slash hit him instantly! The man immediately knelt down, not daring to make a sound.

Everyone took a step back and said unevenly: "Master......"

Baosi obviously saw Tom's eyes light up, he simply waved his hand, and the people were about to retreat, he frowned: "Put her down." ”

Paules was slowly lowered to the ground.

"Don't do too much." He slowly approached and said to the men.

Ross didn't dare to look up, she was afraid that if she looked up, everything would be over.

- She can't help but look at him with hatred.

He walked over to her and stopped, and it was about a minute before he helped her up, as if at this point he had noticed her unnatural stiffness, and cast a spell on him.

As soon as she was free, he immediately took a few steps back, and then he stepped forward with a mocking look of surprise and slapped him hard!

He grabbed her hand and dragged her into his arms: "This is the latter time. He threatened in a low voice.

Paoss opened her mouth and spat on his face.

Voices began to come from behind, and it seemed that an Auror or some other wizard had approached him.

Tom pressed her face into his arms, grabbed her hands and waited for the men to come.

"Are you alright?" A wizard asked.

"It's fine." Tom said, "My wife was a little frightened. ”

Baosi couldn't help but tremble.

"It's the first time she's ever encountered something like this." He said.

"It's all right now, you can go home now. If necessary, there may be people from the Ministry of Magic coming to you in the next two days, don't worry, just ask some questions. Please leave your names and addresses, and by the way, what are you doing in Diagon Alley today? ”

"Purchase, we've put things in an ice cream parlor." He replied.

"Oh, that's the Focos Ice Cream Parlor. No problem, you can go back and get your stuff later. With that, the wizard called another man to see them off.

"Dear, can you go?" Tom asked, letting go of her, holding her hand.

Pauci was still shaking, and she had no strength on her feet. She didn't want to speak, so she just shook her head and didn't look at the Auror in front of her.

"Your wife must be very afraid. Well, you can go home right away. ”

After registering their names and addresses and getting back their purchase packages, they went straight back to the castle through the fireplace.

When she returned, she went to the kitchen and poured a glass of sherry, and drank it in one gulp, and then she drank a second one.

When she came out with the bottle, Tom was sitting on the couch, his eyes slightly closed, as if he were enjoying a beautiful opera.

"Would you like a drink?" Ross asked him coldly.

He opened his eyes, smiled and said, "Of course, please give me a drink, no need to add ice." ”

Pauss poured him a glass, poured herself a third, and drank it again in one gulp. Her face was red with wine, and her eyes were filled with mist.

She saw him holding the glass and shaking it gently in his hand.

"Why don't you drink it?" She staggered from one side of the couch to his, snatched the glass from his hand and poured it down, and the wine spilled, and she drank so quickly that she choked and coughed.

Then she walked past him to get the bottle, and he reached out for her to get it, and then handed it to her and said, "Here you go." ”

Pauss drank the half bottle of sherry, and the whole person was dizzy, and the house was spinning in circles. She clung to Tom's clothes so that they wouldn't fall under the couch, and she felt that the ground was crooked, and it was getting crooked.

Tom ...... Tom ...... "She kept calling out to him, crying as she cried.

He grabbed her arm and stroked her hair like a cat: "Rose." ”

"I hate you...... I hate you......" she said, then grabbed him by the collar and kissed him, smearing his chin all over his mouth.

After she kissed him like this for a while, he put his arm around her waist and pulled her into his arms and gave her a perfunctory kiss. And she hugged him as if she had seized an opportunity, kissing him like a drowning man had caught driftwood.

The two exchanged kisses, and five minutes later, Tom shoved her away, and she slid straight to the floor.

"You're ......!" Tom struggled to get his wand out and to the fireplace, but he just left the couch and fell to the floor and fainted.

When he fainted, Bao Si was relieved to faint.

- God forbid, she can't hold on, this medicine is really not ordinarily strong.

When she opened her eyes again, Red sat on the edge of her bed.

“…… Where's your dad? She asked hoarsely.

Red said calmly, "The Chamber of Secrets." Only Merlin knew what it felt like to be on the floor when he came home and saw her and her father on the floor.

After hearing this, Pauss relaxed and fell asleep on the pillow.

He left the bedroom, where Dumbledore was waiting for him. "Looks like your father has remembered?" He asked, it was more than he thought.

"Nope." "I think he just found something. Mom was so nervous, she always was. ”

"Is she already resting?" Dumbledore asked.

"She'll probably need to sleep for a long time." Red glanced at the bedroom and said, "Even though potions don't work well on Muggles, she's drunk so much sherry in one go." ”

"She probably wanted to put the medicine in the wine to trick your father into drinking it." Dumbledore shook his head and said, "Let her get some good sleep, there are good hangover remedies in the Medical Wing." ”

"We'll talk about it tomorrow." Dumbledore took his leave, and Red didn't sleep after sending him away, and as he stood in the living room, he recalled how he felt when he got home and saw his mother fall on the floor, and then he went to Hagrid and asked him to take him to see his 'little friend'.

"Let me talk to my little darling, Hagrid, I know how to get back, you don't have to wait for me here." He told Hagrid to leave first.

"Little baby." He touched the head of the giant basilisk and smiled, "You're willing to help me with anything, aren't you?" ”

The basilisk rubbed against him gently.

He took out his wand and sealed its ears, leading it to the tunnel he had dug when he had captured it, and it could follow it back to the chamber. Before letting it go, he untied the spell on its eyes.

- 'Kill him for me.' ’

He watched as the basilisk disappeared into the tunnel.
