Draco looked worried, and hurried out of the fireplace in Riddle Manor. He just received a call from Anita—yes, the wizard version of the mobile phone developed by Draco has been mass-produced, and it is basically the only one in the British wizarding world. With one person in hand, the overseas market is also expanding extremely fast.Lucius had already added a lot to the huge assets of the Malfoy family by virtue of selling mobile phones - but Draco could hear nothing on the phone except for Anita's whimpering and sobbing.

"What's wrong?" Draco gently hugged Anita who was curled up on the sofa and crying, "What happened?"

"Mommy... Mommy... is gone." Anita's eyes were swollen like peaches.

Draco patted Anita on the back, honestly, he didn't quite understand what "Mum's gone" meant.Draco has been watching the relationship between the Riddles and his wife all the time, and it is obviously impossible for Mrs. Riddle to "gone" by abandoning her husband and daughter.If "gone" means "dead", it is even more impossible. Mrs. Riddle's sturdy Draco has seen it too many times. This one has conquered the Dark Lord, brought down Dumbledore, The Wonder Woman who turned Voldemort into a sieve.

However, with Anita crying so sadly, it was obviously not a good time to ask questions. Draco comforted Anita in a daze, "It's okay, don't worry, I believe your mother will come back. Your father Mothers are so powerful, they will find a way."

"Dad...he...has...always locked himself...in the alchemy laboratory." Anita choked, "I don't have permission...I can't get in...I'm worried about Dad..."

Draco frowned. He realized the seriousness of the problem. With Tom's love for Anita, if there were no more urgent matters, it was impossible for him to leave Anita alone and let Anita cry here alone. .

"Your dad...he might need some alone time, and he'll be fine." Draco reassured distressedly.

"really?"

"Of course." Draco kissed Anita's hair, "everything will be fine."

Anita's emotions calmed down slowly, she leaned on Draco's chest, and told him what happened intermittently, "You know what? In fact, Mom has decided to return her body to them, just a little bit, Originally, Dad was planning to change Mommy's wizard body back tonight. Before we went, we were still talking about giving me a brother or sister when Mommy returned to her own body. This is too bad... I am worried about Mommy , I am also very worried about my father... I don't know how my father will...how to accept these things."

"It'll be fine, your father is the Dark Lord." Draco could only comfort Anita like this.

Four days later, Tom walked out of the alchemy laboratory. His expression was calm and haggard, but he was not as distraught as Anita imagined. Except for some gloom between his brows, he didn't look too peaceful. s difference.

"Dad!" Anita rushed forward and hugged Tom tightly, "I'm worried about you, are you okay?"

Tom patted Anita's back lightly, his expression softened, "I'm fine."

"Draco, can you step aside for a moment? I have something to talk to Anita alone." Tom turned to Draco.

Draco was a little flattered, Tom had never been so pleasant to him before, he nodded quickly, "Of course. I just have to go home."

Only Tom and Anita were left in the manor. Tom sat down on the sofa and motioned for Anita to sit too.

Seeing Tom's serious expression, Anita was a little nervous. She sat down opposite Tom and asked, "What's wrong?"

Tom opened his mouth and closed it again, with a rare look of hesitation on his face.

Anita's hands churned together uneasily, she had a vague premonition.

"Anita." Tom paused, as if what he said next was hard to say, but no matter how difficult it was, he had to say it, "Anita, I'm going to your mother. I have to go. You feel it too. The existence that controls your mother, no matter what it is, I can't let your mother face it alone."

Anita blinked blankly, feeling like it took her a long time to digest Tom's words.Intellectually, of course she supports her father in finding her mother, but emotionally, Anita finds it hard to accept that she will lose her father soon after losing her mother.After all, after this trip, who knows if we will see each other again in my lifetime.

"I'm sorry, Anita." Tom looked at Anita, his expression was sad and sad, and apologetic.

"No, no, don't say sorry." Anita tried to pull out a smile that was uglier than crying, "Of course you should go to your mother. In fact, if I had the ability, I would definitely go to my mother too .I understand. Really, I understand. No apologies."

Tom frowned worriedly, "Anita..."

"I'm fine, really, just go ahead, you don't have to worry about me." Anita interrupted Tom and said quickly, "I have Daddy Sif and Draco, and Lucius and Narcissa, The baby in Narcissa's womb, Hermione, Harry, George, Fred, Professor Dumbledore... and many others, I will be fine. In the past ten years, you and your mother If I’m not here, I’m fine too, right? I’ll be fine in the future too.”

Tom got up and hugged Anita, "Anita, I will come back, I promise, I will come back with your mother."

"I know." Anita whispered, but her tone was not so confident, "I know you will."

"Well, shall I make a promise with you?" said Tom. "Your mother and I will never miss your wedding. At your wedding I will hand you over to the groom. You know I will never Not going to give up this opportunity to Severus."

Anita was amused with a "poof", and the tears that could not be held back disappeared in an instant, "Father is too cunning, and now he has to guarantee that I will not marry early. Draco will cry."

"It doesn't have to be Draco, either," Tom said.

"Draco would really cry."

Tom stroked Anita's loose hair behind her ears, and stared deeply at Anita, "My daughter is so good, there is no need to settle down so early, and she can get in touch with other good boys."

"Okay." Anita nodded tearfully.

"Take good care of yourself."

"it is good."

"Leave things alone."

"it is good."

"Don't sleep and forget to study potions."

"it is good."

……

Tom, who has never been sloppy in doing things, suddenly became rambling. He gave a lot of advice, and Anita agreed to them no matter what was reasonable or not.

"When are you leaving?" Anita tried her best to keep her voice calm. Now that her father has decided to go to find her mother, she should stop acting like a child and make her father worry about her.

"Only these two days," said Tom. "I have some things to arrange. There are some preparations to be made. But I hope to go as soon as possible."

Anita nodded and asked again, "How?"

Was Dad strong enough to—er, shatter the Void?

"The wizarding world actually has a channel to other worlds." Tom said.

Anita's eyes widened in shock, "Really?"

"Yes." Tom nodded. "Do you know the Death Hall in the Ministry of Magic's Department of Mysteries?"

"That curtain?!" Anita exclaimed, "Behind the curtain is another world?"

"To be precise, behind the veil is the world of the dead, the place where souls live temporarily before reincarnation. However, it is not just the afterlife of this world, but the afterlife of all worlds, that is to say, This world of the dead leads to all worlds," said Tom.

"The afterlife?" Anita didn't like the name, she held on to Tom's sleeve tightly, "Only the dead can enter the afterlife, right?"

Tom patted Anita's hand reassuringly, "To be precise, only the soul can travel through the world behind the veil. So I have been researching how to extract my soul these days."

"Merlin, is this dangerous? Go to another world in the state of a soul? Can you find the world where your mother is in from so many worlds? After you find it, can you find the way back? Even if you come back, How can I be resurrected again?..."

"Shh, Anita, calm down." Tom held Anita's hand and said, "You know, I don't lose all my powers even in a spirit state. I have a soul contract with your mother, and I can sense To each other. There is also a natural connection between the body and the soul. If I leave my body in this world, I will not lose my way back. As for resurrection, don’t we have the Philosopher’s Stone?” Tom said lightly Light, in fact, he didn't have much confidence in many of the links, but he didn't want Anita to worry about it.

"Has anyone ever returned from that world?" Anita asked. "How did you know that the world of the dead behind the veil can lead to other worlds?"

Has anyone come back from that world?As far as Tom knew, no.According to the rules of that world, souls who enter the world of the dead cannot turn back, and can only go on forever until they forget the memory of this world and welcome their new life.

Of course Tom wouldn't tell Anita the truth, though, skipping the question and replying, "Remember those books we got in the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets? All I know about the world of the dead is from Sarah Found in Racha Slytherin's notes. Apparently the Veil in the Department of Mysteries dates back to the time before Merlin, and I suspect the Ministry of Magic was built there because of the Veil."

"So it's very likely that Salazar Slytherin has been to that world, and he knows so much about it," Anita speculated.

"Very likely." Tom smiled and touched Anita's head.
