Anita quickly picked out a few bottles from the bottles and jars in the potions laboratory and mixed them together. Her brows were furrowed, but her hands were still steady, and the rhythm of dispensing medicines was not disturbed.

"Add a tenth more to the extract of Yingcao." Irene suddenly suggested.

Anita hesitated for a moment. The formula of any kind of potion has to go through rigorous experiments. Anita has never seen the dose that Irene said, and she dare not give it to Tom casually.

Instead of being angry, Irene showed an approving smile, obviously satisfied with Anita's rigorous attitude.Irene explained, "Although I don't have the magic power to make potions now, I used to be a potion master, and I have tried this potion."

Anita nodded, poured one-tenth more of the Yingcao extract, poured the prepared potion into a glass and handed it to Tom.

Tom drank it down, and after a few minutes, Tom's face looked a little better, at least not as frighteningly pale as before.

Seeing that the medicine worked, Irene breathed a sigh of relief, and she asked, "What happened? How could your magic power be overdrawn so badly? Anita and the others told me that the Quidditch field was attacked by Muggle shells. But ordinary shells can’t make you so embarrassed, can they? Don’t tell me that the British government used nuclear weapons.”

"Of course not. The Muggle government is not crazy. They still wouldn't do such a thing as dropping nuclear bombs on their own land." Tom laughed.

"The Muggle government won't, but Moriarty might. What can't that lunatic do?" Irene said through gritted teeth, "I should have stabbed him to death."

"In this case, I won't be able to see you." Tom took Irene's hand and looked into her eyes tenderly, "I will not allow anyone to take you away from me, including yourself."

Erin leaned down and kissed Tom on the lips, "No one can make me leave you, including you."

Anita is used to being fed dog food by her parents every day, really.

Because of Anita's presence, Tom and Irene just kissed lightly and separated. Tom said, "As for the little things that Voldemort and Moriarty caused, I will take care of it." But Tom's face was a little dignified, obviously This time things were not as easy as he said.

"Dad is overdrawn because of what magic power?" Anita brought the topic back while putting the bottles and jars containing the magic medicine back into the cabinet.

"Those shells happened to blow up the magic circle that maintained the entire stadium. If the stadium collapsed, at least a few thousand of the nearly [-] spectators present would die." Tom replied, "So Dumbledore and I had to temporarily Supported the gymnasium with my own magic power, so that the audience had time to withdraw from the gymnasium. Originally, Dumbledore and I joined forces, although it was a bit difficult, it would not be so overdrawn. When I shot, I even passed myself As you know, I'm not Dumbledore, and I don't know how to play a hero by putting myself in it.

But Voldemort, after playing the hero for a while, incited radical wizards to exterminate those Muggles who attacked us.At that time, it was unclear what the situation was. If Voldemort was allowed to further escalate the conflict, there would really be a war between Muggles and wizards.Only Dumbledore and I can stop Voldemort.I discussed it with Dumbledore. The Order of the Phoenix, which is more pro-Muggles, is obviously more suitable for resolving disputes between Muggles and wizards than the Knights formed by former Death Eaters, so Dumbledore took the Order of the Phoenix to stop the situation. To further upgrade, I led the Knights to help the Ministry of Magic evacuate the audience in the stadium as soon as possible.I'm holding the whole gym alone, no amount of magic is enough. "

"Let Dad support the gymnasium alone, Professor Dumbledore is too cunning!" Anita said angrily.

"No, in fact Dumbledore took a greater risk." Tom, who has always disliked Dumbledore, did not agree with Anita's point of view this time, but spoke for Dumbledore, "If all this turns out to be Voldemort's The self-directed conspiracy is okay. If this attack was really organized by Muggles, or if Voldemort convinced the entire wizarding world that this attack was the fault of Muggles, then Dunbur, who prevented Voldemort from revenge on Muggles Lido is no longer a human being."

"Of course this is Voldemort's conspiracy. For no reason, why would the Muggle government do such a thankless thing as attacking the wizarding world? If the Muggle government really wanted to attack the wizarding world, it wouldn't use as much force as it did this time. Small weapons. If the shells hadn't just hit the magic circle supporting the gymnasium, this attack would not have caused too many casualties." Anita analyzed.

"You're right," said Tom, "but sometimes the truth doesn't matter, the truth only matters if the people are willing to believe it. If your relatives or friends die under Muggle shells , are you willing to believe that Voldemort, who blocked the shells for you, is the culprit? Or are you willing to believe that all this is a Muggle conspiracy? You know, most wizards don’t understand Muggles like you do, let alone Muggle weapons It's so powerful that they don't even know what clothes Muggles wear every day."

"Besides, Voldemort must have a follow-up plan." Tom frowned, "I could basically guess what Voldemort was thinking, but now that Moriarty is involved, I can't guess what Voldemort wants. .War? Once the wizarding world and the Muggle world go to war, both sides may suffer, and Voldemort should know this too."

Tom stood up and rubbed Anita's head, "I have to talk to Dumbledore."

"You should rest for a few more days." Irene looked at Tom disapprovingly.

"I feel better, Anita's medicine is working," Tom said. "We must do something before Voldemort incites the hatred of the wizarding world against the Muggle world. In any case, the wizarding world and the Muggle world cannot really go to war. Our population numbers doom us to little chance of winning."

"Bring this." Anita shoved several bottles of potions into Tom's hand. "Drink one every two hours."

Tom put the potion in his pocket, kissed Irene and Anita's foreheads, and left in a hurry after telling Lucius to send Harry and the others home.

In the next few days, Tom was seldom at home. He was either discussing with Dumbledore about jointly dealing with Voldemort, meeting with the Knights, or negotiating with the Muggle government.

After a joint investigation by the Muggle government and the wizarding world, the truth of the attack on the day of the Quidditch World Cup gradually surfaced.It is said that the Muggle troops happened to be conducting a military exercise near there that day. Since the Muggle repelling spell was cast around the gymnasium, the Muggle troops thought that the area was a deserted wilderness when they were investigating, so they fired at it.

However, when discussing which side was responsible, the Ministry of Magic and the Muggle government had great differences.The Ministry of Magic believes that the loss of life and property caused by the Muggle army is of course the responsibility of the Muggle government.The Muggle government believes that the wizarding community held the Quidditch World Cup on Muggle territory, not to mention obtaining the consent of the Muggle government in advance, and they were not even notified, so any consequences arising from this are their responsibility. irrelevant.

Leaving aside the wrangling between the Ministry of Magic and the Muggle government, this attack proved to be a misunderstanding, which still made the entire wizarding community heave a sigh of relief. After all, no one wanted war.

Although the Order of the Phoenix and the Knights knew that Voldemort must be involved in this matter, after investigation, the people who decided the time and place of the military exercise, and the people who decided to shoot in the direction of the stadium, were not controlled by the Imperius Curse. sign.No one knows exactly how Voldemort did it.

But as Tom said, sometimes the truth of things is not important, what matters is what people choose to believe.Thanks to the efforts of the Knights and the Order of the Phoenix, the public opinion in the wizarding world was not completely guided by Voldemort, but was divided into two factions: the main faction and the main faction.The peace faction believes that all this is a misunderstanding, and advocates peaceful coexistence between the wizarding world and the Muggle world.The war faction believes that the Ministry of Magic is lying in order to whitewash the peace, and that the Muggle world is a threat to the wizarding world and must be eliminated.At present, the two sides are evenly matched, and neither can convince the other.

In general, after the attack of the Quidditch World Cup, the wizarding world, which was not very friendly to Muggles, further increased its hatred towards Muggles.The relationship between the wizarding world and the Muggle world is unprecedentedly tense, and the Knights and the Order of the Phoenix can only barely maintain peace between the two sides.Voldemort's Muggle-hatred theory was embraced by many wizards, especially after Voldemort's cleansing in the attack.The people are forgetful, they seem to have forgotten what kind of extreme terrorist Voldemort is, and they all praise him as a hero.After all, the scene of blocking the cannonball with his own strength was too shocking.

"The first class of the Merlin Medal! Voldemort, a liar, pervert, and behind-the-scenes man, has actually been awarded the first class of the Merlin Medal!" Anita angrily slapped the "Daily Prophet" on the table. Today's "Daily Prophet" head It featured Voldemort's noseless face, flashing a wry, smug smile at Anita. The "Daily Prophet" spent three full pages praising Voldemort, writing him as more radiant than the Virgin, and what was even more frightening was that some people actually believed these lies.You know that only a few weeks ago, they didn't even dare to call Voldemort's name, but now many people who are not Death Eaters have begun to respectfully call Voldemort "Lord".

"I told you not to read the Daily Prophet." Draco pointed at the newspaper with his wand, and said "Indio (blazing flames)", and the newspaper was burned to ashes in an instant, "The Daily Prophet has long been Controlled by Death Eaters, none of the above is true."

"I'm not worth it for Dad. It's obvious that Dad saved those people. If Dad and Professor Dumbledore hadn't supported the gymnasium, those people would have died a long time ago." Anita said with a puffy face, indignantly.

"I also got the Order of Merlin First Class." Tom walked out from the fireplace, he had just attended the commendation meeting of the Order of Merlin.Ironically, he, Dumbledore and Voldemort received the medal at the same time.The scene of the commendation meeting was not too exciting. The poor wizard who presented the award to them was almost scared to pee, and ended the commendation meeting at a flying speed.

Tom threw the medal on the table casually, "Are you ready? It's time for us to go."

"Dad, aren't you angry?" Anita asked.

"Why are you angry? I didn't shoot for those people," Tom said. "The Medal of Merlin is worthless. I got it in fifth grade."

Eileen shot Tom a look. "Are you proud of that?"

Tom made a gesture of surrender, and changed his words, "Lockhart and Wormtail have also received the Merlin Medal, which is enough to show the gold content of the Merlin Medal."

Anita took a closer look at Tom's face and found that he seemed to be in a particularly good mood today. This was a bit unbelievable for Tom who had just had an unpleasant meeting with Voldemort. Anita asked, "Dad, you seem to be in a special mood today." happy?"

"That's right." Tom showed a childish smile, "You know, I've always wanted to be a professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts, and I can't wait to train those cute little wizards at Hogwarts."
