Anita sat stiffly on the bed, thinking of all possible excuses in her mind, and was crossed out one by one by herself.Anita could make up many reasons, but based on what Severus knew of her, not many would be trusted.Anita can certainly say that she foresaw Severus being bitten by Voldemort's snake or that she saw Severus kill Dumbledore, so her magic was out of control, Severus would definitely believe it , but Anita couldn't bear to say that.

"I..." Anita opened her mouth, then closed it again, her forehead covered in sweat.

Severus folded his arms over his chest, and stood in front of the bed looking down at Anita with "I'll just sit quietly and see what excuses you can come up with" written all over his face.

Anita stole a glance at Severus' expression, and said in frustration, "I can't tell you."

Severus raised his eyebrows when he heard this, as if he was surprised that Anita gave up so easily, and seemed surprised that Anita acted so confidently.

Anita looked at Severus innocently, sure that Severus would not do anything to her.

"So, how did I die?" Severus asked, his tone calm, as if he wasn't talking about his own death, and there was even a thin smile on his face.

"What?" Anita's face changed drastically, "What nonsense are you talking about? Who said you would die?"

"There are not many things that can make your magic riot." Severus said flatly, "Plus your Boggart is a picture of my death. I used to think that it was because you were afraid of losing me that you let Boggart Gert showed that kind of picture, but now that I think about it, the way of death simulated by Boggart is too specific, and only you have seen that scene before Boggart can simulate it. According to what I heard on the Boggart wound, and I saw a snake beside the Dark Lord, so I was bitten to death by a snake?"

Severus stopped to look at Anita's face, and said firmly, "It seems that I guessed right. Being bitten to death by a snake is not too bad."

Anita had no idea how to refute it, because Severus' deduction was both right and damn wrong.

"It's not like that." Anita explained in a panic, "You won't die, I won't allow you to die."

Anita's performance undoubtedly made Severus more affirmed his guess, and he comforted Anita in turn, "Don't worry, unless the Dark Lord is raising a basilisk, a snake wants to kill a potion master It's not that easy."

Dad thinks so, is it actually not bad?

Anita acquiesced to Severus' words a little bewilderedly.

The days that followed were unexpectedly calm, and Voldemort's power seemed to be silent. The Ministry of Magic, which had refused to believe that Voldemort had been resurrected, believed that the whole thing was a conspiracy by Dumbledore and was unwilling to accept Dumbledore's suggestion. Some of the deployments, and even threatened that if Dumbledore continued to promote his speeches that would cause panic among the people, the Ministry of Magic would consider removing him as the headmaster of Hogwarts.

But these are things that Dumbledore needs to worry about, and Anita doesn't have the energy to pay attention to them. All her time and energy are spent on studying the "Jewish Book of Abraham" with Draco and the diary.

The Room of Requirement has been turned into an alchemy laboratory. On the central table are piles of blueprints with magic lines and magic circles. There are rows of cabinets on one side of the room, which store various ores and some Anita There are magic materials that cannot be named, and on the other side is a huge melting pot.

Draco and the diary are discussing how to make the Sorcerer's Stone. The two of them have made several failed works, but they still have no clue about how to make the Sorcerer's Stone.

The only thing that makes Anita feel gratified is that the atmosphere between Draco and the diary has become much more harmonious since they collaborated to create the Sorcerer's Stone. Finally, they don't always fight each other. Now the two of them can at least have a peaceful and friendly academic relationship. communicated.

On alchemy, Anita can't help much. She is communicating with the consciousness of Hogwarts, hoping to block the monitoring of the three of them.It would be too inconvenient if they were monitored by the Marauder's Map wherever they went every day.And Mr. Diary can't come out at will, otherwise his whereabouts will be captured by the Marauder's Map, and Harry will definitely be suspicious when he sees Tom Riddle's name frequently appearing beside them.

As for why they went to Hogwarts' consciousness instead of stealing the Marauder's map, Anita, Draco, and Mr. Diary agreed that the tracking function in the school was too powerful, and it didn't seem like magic that the four of them could master.The Marauder's Map is able to track the location of everyone inside Hogwarts, including people taking Polyjuice Potion, Animagus transforming people, people wearing the Invisibility Cloak, and even ghosts.

What's more, the Marauder's Map completely ignores the magical abilities of the monitored objects. Even if they are as powerful as Dumbledore and the Diary Lord, they must be monitored. This is completely inconsistent with the laws of magic.It is impossible for the magic way made by a few fourteen or fifteen-year-old wizards to have such a heaven-defying ability, even if James Potter and the others are talented.Therefore, a more reasonable explanation is that the defense system of Hogwarts itself has the function of tracking everyone who enters Hogwarts Castle, and the foursome just discovered this function and used it on the Marauder's Map.

After communicating with Hogwarts' consciousness, Anita found that their guess was correct. The function of tracking everyone's location came from the Hogwarts defense system itself rather than the Marauder's Map.Anita successfully made Hogwarts cancel the monitoring of the three of them. As long as they are not people with higher consciousness than Hogwarts, they cannot monitor them through the defense system of Hogwarts. Only the Big Four and the current headmaster of Hogwarts are the only people with a high awareness of AIDS, and Dumbledore doesn't seem to know that Hogwarts has this function.

After finishing the surveillance, Anita saw that Draco and the diary were still busy, so she picked up a copy of the "Daily Prophet" and read it. Of course, there was no information about Voldemort's resurrection on it. The strange thing is, Anita saw a brand new column on it, not about news or current events, but about history, about the history of witch hunts thousands of years ago.Looking at it, Anita frowned. I have to say that the human writing of this column is very good. You can smell the thick blood from that heavy history between the lines, and these words are very Provocative, even Anita, a former Muggle, felt a little disgusted with Muggles after reading it, let alone those wizards who didn't like Muggles in the first place.

Anita shook her head, using her reason to dispel the incited disgust.

"What's wrong?" Draco asked.

Anita handed the newspaper to Draco. After reading it, Draco and Mr. Diary also frowned. The two of them were more inclined to the theory of pure blood supremacy, and were deeply influenced by this article. A little, but they are very politically sensitive people, and they quickly detached from those emotions and realized the meaning behind this article.

"Why did the "Daily Prophet" suddenly publish such an article? I even suspect that this article was written by Voldemort himself." Anita said.

"I don't know if this article was written by Voldemort," Draco said, "but one thing we can be sure of is that Voldemort has taken control of the Daily Prophet."

"What does Voldemort want?" Anita asked.

Mr. Diary touched his chin and said, "As before, he wants to rule the wizarding world, but this time he seems to be a little smarter. He no longer rules with fear, but with hatred."

"Hate." Draco repeated thoughtfully.

"Yes, hatred. Just like what Adolf Hitler did in World War II..." Mr. Diary saw Anita's surprised eyes, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why? I can't know Hitler?"

"Knowing so much about Muggle history doesn't fit your Dark Lord personality at all." Anita complained.

Mr. Diary touched his nose and said, "When I wanted to unify the wizarding world and the Muggle world in the second place, your mother forced me to read a lot of Muggle history and books. She said that she wanted to rule and enslave Muggles must at least understand how they exist." The diary gentleman seemed to have thought of something, and his expression became very soft.

Anita's face was full of admiration, her mother was amazing, she deserved to be the woman who conquered the Dark Lord.

"Actually, I'm curious, what's your opinion on Muggles and wizards?" Draco asked, "Your ideas should not be too different from Voldemort's. After all, you created the Death Eaters. If your If the concept is completely different from that of Voldemort, it is impossible for Dad and the others not to notice that the soul of the Dark Lord has been replaced by another person."

Anita looked nervously at the diary, waiting for his answer.Because she believed that her mother would not fall in love with an extreme racist, Anita subconsciously believed that the Diary Lord and Voldemort had different ideas.But what if mom just fell in love with the villain boss of the extreme pure-blood terrorist organization?After all, love is sometimes irrational.

If the idea of ​​Mr. Diary and Severus completely run counter to each other, then what should she do?What if the Diary, like Voldemort, wanted to rule the wizarding and Muggle worlds?Mr. Diary's love for her is not fake. Anita doesn't want to stand against him, but Anita doesn't want to see war either.
