[Zhongyingmei] My dad is Voldy

"Anita, calm down." Draco took the notebook from Anita's hand, held her hand and said, "Tell us what the result you got first, and let's analyze whether it is reasonable or not. "

"You're right." Anita slowly calmed down from the shock just now, "Slytherin cursed the population of the wizarding world."

"Population?" Draco asked puzzled.

"Yes, population. You remember I discussed with you that the wizarding world has abnormal population numbers, right?" said Anita.

"I remember when we were six years old, we went to the amusement park. I complained that there were too many Muggle populations. You said that the wizarding world had a small population. The total number of wizards in the world did not have as many people as there were in that amusement park. "Fortunately, Draco has a good memory, and he still remembers the six-year-old thing so clearly.

"You went to an amusement park when you were kids!" Hermione exclaimed. "I thought kids like you who grew up in a pure-blood family wouldn't go to a Muggle amusement park."

"Daddy took us there," Anita said.

"Professor Snape?!" Hermione said in shock, "My God, it's hard to imagine Professor Snape going to the amusement park."

"I stalked Dad for a whole year before he agreed, but Dad didn't play anything, but Draco took me on a roller coaster that took me a dozen times, and..."

Draco's earlobes turned red quietly, and he hastily knocked on the table twice, "Key points, key points."

"Oh, yes." Anita brought the topic back, "Don't you think the population of the wizarding world is abnormal? It's not just a matter of small numbers, the population development is abnormal. Take the population of Muggles in Britain as an example, four During the giant period, that is, around 1000 AD, the population of the UK was about 300-400 million, and now the population of the UK is about 6000 million. But the population of the wizarding world, the number before the establishment of Hogwarts, I don’t know, However, after the establishment of the school, calculated based on the number of students, the population of wizards in the UK has been maintained at around 3000, which is completely inconsistent with the law of population development.”

"I've never thought about that." Hermione said thoughtfully. "I've always taken it for granted that the wizard population is small, but judging from the population development, there is indeed a problem."

"So Salazar Slytherin cursed the wizarding population?" Draco asked. "It's true that wizards generally have difficulty offspring—except for Weasley, the Weasley family's greatest gift is probably being able to reproduce."

"Hey!" Hermione shot Draco angrily.

"Sorry." Draco raised his hand as a gesture of surrender, "I didn't mean to belittle, in fact, my dad has always envied the Weasley family's offspring, although he would never admit it."

"The curse of Slytherin is a little more complicated." Anita said, "The curse restricts the offspring of wizards, which is why wizard families have always had few offspring. However, the offspring of Muggles also have a certain chance of being wizards, wizards." The population of the wizarding population will still rise slowly, so Slytherin set an upper limit for the wizard population. Once this upper limit is exceeded, some events will occur in the wizarding world that will cause the wizard population to drop sharply, such as wizards and goblins, and giants, and The war of werewolves and so on, the rebellion of magical animals, the civil war caused by two generations of Dark Lords, etc."

"In other words, without the curse of Slytherin, none of those wars would have happened?" Hermione asked in disbelief.

"Not necessarily." Anita thought for a while, "How should I put it, wars are always caused by many reasons, and the curse is only one of them."

"In other words, the curse increases the probability of war. Maybe it was just some friction and discord, because the existence of the curse magnified the ambition and desire in people's hearts, which triggered the war." Draco said.

"That's it. Maybe Voldemort who took Dad's body appeared because of the curse." Anita guessed, "After all, Dad didn't have the intention of civil war back then."

"This is too bad, why would Salazar Slytherin do this? Isn't he one of the Big Four who founded Hogwarts? The Big Four didn't create Hogwarts to keep young wizards from being persecuted by Muggles Why? Why did Slytherin do this... this kind of self-defeating and insane thing? It's completely unreasonable." Hermione re-checked the symbols that Anita had arranged, and found no mistakes. She and Della Ke deduced it together again, still the same result.

"I thought I made a mistake just now. But you think, I broke the curse in the second grade, and now both the Malfoys and the Weasleys have newborns. Is it just a coincidence? If you go to the Ministry of Magic If we check the population in recent years, we can know whether the population of the wizarding world has increased after the curse was lifted." Anita said, "If it has increased, it means that our research is correct, otherwise, it may be necessary to Throw down all our research and start over."

"Good idea." Hermione patted Anita on the shoulder. "The question now is, how do we get to the Ministry of Magic?"

"This weekend is Hogsmeade weekend," Draco said. "Hermione, did you pass the apparition test?"

"of course."

"Then there's no problem, we can use Hogsmeade to Apparate to the Ministry of Magic for the weekend," Draco said.

"I won't say how many school rules this will violate." Hermione still looked very worried, "Even if we managed to get to the Ministry of Magic, how can we check the population records? The Ministry of Magic will not just give those documents to a few six Look at the little wizards in grades."

"I know the Minister of Magic," said Anita. "If you just look up the wizarding population records, he shouldn't say no."

"Will he tell Professor Dumbledore we went to the Ministry of Magic?" asked Hermione.

"Probably not, as long as we come back in time, we won't be discovered." Anita said.

The matter was decided in this way. In Hogsmeade village, Anita, Draco and Hermione avoided the crowd, found a secluded corner, and apparated outside the Ministry of Magic.

"Here." Draco took Anita and Hermione into a dilapidated red telephone booth and dialed the number "62442".

"Welcome to the Ministry of Magic, please tell me your name and purpose of your visit." An indifferent female voice came into the phone booth. The voice did not come from the receiver of the phone, but from the air, as if the person was standing opposite like.

"Anita Riddle, Draco Malfoy, and Hermione Granger are here to visit the Minister of Magic," said Anita.

"Thank you. Please pin the badge to your clothes, and go to the security checkpoint at the end of the main hall for inspection and wand registration." The voice instructed.

Three silver badges slid out of the metal slots used to return coins, Anita's badge read: Anita Riddle, Visiting Minister.The three pinned their badges to the front of their robes, and the phone booth sank like an elevator. The sidewalk outside gradually disappeared through the windows, and then the phone booth fell into darkness. About a minute later, they arrived at the magnificent hall of the Ministry of Magic.

"The Ministry of Magic wishes you a pleasant stay," said the female voice, and the door of the telephone box opened.

"This way," Draco said, and Anita and Hermione followed him towards the security checkpoint.The halls were filled with Ministry of Magic staff, and to be honest, Anita suspected that at least half of the wizarding community worked for the Ministry.They all cast curious glances at Anita and the others, wondering what the three little wizards in Hogwarts school uniforms were doing in the Ministry of Magic.However, both Anita and Draco put on cold expressions, and the three of them took it for granted, so no one came to stop or ask, and they successfully came to the table with the "Security Check" sign .

The wizard at the security check held up a long metal rod, scanned the front and back of the three from top to bottom, and registered the wands of the three before letting them into the Ministry of Magic.

Passing through a golden door, the three of them came to a smaller hall, where there were more than [-] elevators that looked very old, and the old-fashioned fence doors were still used.The three of them entered an elevator with the flow of people, and the elevator made a rattling sound and went up unsteadily.

"First floor, minister's office." The fence door opened, and the three of Anita walked through a long corridor with portraits of the ministers of the Ministry of Magic hanging on it. They argued on the wall who was the best minister, criticizing All the reasonable and unreasonable policies of the current minister.Seeing someone coming, everyone put on a majestic look and stared at the visitor solemnly.

The three walked quickly through the corridor, turned a corner, and saw an ornate door with "Minister's Office" written on it. There was a small table next to the door, and a wizard in a very decent robe was sitting at the table. Behind, what is written on the desk.

"Welcome to the Ministry of Magic, what help do you need..." The wizard raised his head, saw Anita and the others, and blinked in disbelief, "Anita, Hermione, Malfoy? What are you doing here? Professor Do you know you're here?"

"Percy, long time no see, how are you?" Anita and Hermione hugged Percy in surprise, and Draco shook hands with Percy very coldly.

"I'm fine," said Percy proudly. "I'm Assistant Secretary now."

"Congratulations." Anita smiled and winked at Percy, "One step closer to my dream."

Thinking of how he regarded Anita as a fairy when he was a child, and made a wish to her to become the Minister of Magic, Percy blushed slightly, and he quickly changed the subject, "What are you doing here?"

"We're here to visit the Minister," said Anita.

"Do you have an appointment?"

"Tell the Minister that Miss Riddle has something to ask him, and he will meet us." Anita said.

Percy frowned, "Then please wait a moment."

Percy wrote a note, folded it into a paper airplane, tapped it with his wand, and the paper airplane flew up and squeezed through the crack of the door into the minister's office.
