In Harris Manor, under the dazzling lights of the dining room, the dining table was a mess.
Most of the Harris guests had already left the room. Owen and Lunn had left their seats to discuss the work of the Ministry of Magic in the study. Albert and Hibiscus Chinensis had also left the dining table to spend some time alone in their room. Helga and Josephine in the portrait had also been brought to the kitchen by Allen's clone.
Of the three, one asked Kriche to describe Allen's recipes to her, another went to the kitchen to prepare some black pudding, and then borrowed the stove to use floo powder to return home. The last of the three, Allen's clone, waited for his aunt to leave before he dissipated.
In the dining room, only a few of the slow ones and those with big appetites stayed to eat and drink, but the stacks of cups and plates made the mess look even more messy.
Daisy and Penello were clearing the table. One of them had a good appetite, and the other did not want to waste Allen's food.
Morgan-le-Feil slumped in her seat, sipping her lemonade bit by bit to promote digestion. She said to Emily who was still trying to stuff food into her mouth, "Emily, don't eat if you can't finish it."
"No mom, I can still eat some. Alan specially made it for me …" Emily replied cutely. Her voice was hoarse due to the cold, making her look pitiful. However, after eating a few more mouthfuls, Emily, who had a poor appetite due to her illness, couldn't eat anymore. She just used her fork to pick at the food. In the beginning, Emily, who was addicted to sweets, had already finished the Double Skin Milk that was given to her. Pickled cabbage was also appetizing, so she also ate a lot. However, when it came to the Colorful Ball Fish, her small stomach didn't have much space left.
"It's okay, Emily. I'll finish it. Don't waste it." Penello had been waiting for this moment. She moved her chair in front of Emily, took her fork, dipped the fish meat in the sauce, and put it into her mouth. She didn't want to waste the opportunity to eat Allen's dishes.
"Penello, don't eat the food on her plate …" Hermione frowned and reached out to block Penello's fork. "She's still sick."
"Don't worry about me. I never get sick." Penello leaned back with the plate in his hand and shoved the fish into his mouth with his fork.
"Then I'll clear the table." Daisy picked up the steamed fish plate on the table and swept it onto her own plate. The way she ate so happily made Emily, who was already full, regret not eating a few more mouthfuls before putting the plate down.
After a burst of fire, Allen and Anka appeared in the dining room. The witches who stayed in the dining room found that the bird who had been eating with them had already run out.
Allen's robe was still stained with his own blood and the blood of his enemies. His white hair was stained with a lot of dust, as if he had rolled on the ground. What worried the ladies the most was that the skin on his left cheek had peeled off, and there were some dry cracks hanging on it, like a dried spider web. The Phoenix didn't have any problems. When it came in and saw the table full of leftovers, it clucked discontentedly and flew into the kitchen, ready to continue its meal that was interrupted by Allen's summon.
"Allen, you …" The plate hit the table and made a crisp sound. Penello stood up from his seat and jumped to Allen's side with his long legs. He cried out in alarm, "Who hurt you like this …"
Hermione pushed the chair away and followed closely behind. Her worried eyes fell on Allen's face. Daisy's hand, which was not greased, had already touched him. The pregnant Morgan-le-feil was not as nimble as Penello and Hermione. She stood up while holding her belly. With Emily's help, she bypassed the chair and went to Allen. She said in a hurried voice, "What happened to you? You're so badly injured."
"Don't worry, mother. He's fine." Daisy retracted her hand and breathed a sigh of relief. She spoke in the same tone as when she was a healer at St. Mungo Hospital. "This little rascal is fine. He's just covered in dust like when he was a child."
Seeing the worried eyes of the witches on his cheeks, he quickly patted his cheeks. The dead skin fell off from his face, revealing the pink new skin underneath.
"I'm fine. The scar on my face has been healed by the life force of the Death Eaters." Looking at the oxidized dead skin that fell one after another, Allen awkwardly squeezed out a smile. He had thought that he had already cured this injury, but he didn't notice that the injured dead skin was still hanging on his face, which shocked his family.
Hermione reacted. "Death Eaters? Allen? You went to trouble the Lord Voldemort again? "
"Yes, this guy found two treasures and increased his strength a lot. He also gained some knowledge from them and became crazier. And I don't know why, but Tom resisted so fiercely and firmly this time … Well, I was careless and got hit by his eyes a few times …" Allen tried to make the others relax. "But don't worry, although he's more dangerous than I thought … he's no match for me."
Hermione pursed her lips with red eyes and shook her head in disagreement. "Allen, you're not Harry and Ron. Don't you often mock our Gryffindor for being too reckless? If something happens to you … like the veil last time … what do you want us to do? "
Emily's long eyelashes fluttered with tears. The little girl seemed to be a little angry this time. "You asked us to bring guards when we go out, why did you go to the Lord Voldemort by yourself? You can let your men do whatever you want now. Didn't we recruit those people for this? Why do you have to go alone … "
"Allen, your safety is always the most important thing. You have to think about your own safety first." Morgan-le-feil stroked her daughter's soft hair and made sure that Allen was fine. Her tone was a little harsh.
"That's right, Allen. Do you remember the time when you fell while playing with a broomstick and the veil before you entered the school? How worried were we? " Daisy was acting like an elder sister now. "Be careful, Albert will pounce on you again …"
"Sorry, I was careless this time. I won't be so careless next time …" Allen was a little overwhelmed by the continuous bombardment of the witches. He walked towards Morgan-le-feil and helped his mother to sit down on the sofa. "I've already used the life force of Tom's men to fully recover from my injury … I don't think we should tell father and the others about this, lest they worry too much. You know, they're already in a terrible fix because of the recent events in the magic world … "
Morgan-le-feil looked at Allen's embarrassed appearance and her heart softened. She agreed. "Since Allen is fine now, we really don't need to talk about this anymore. But if you do it again …" Morgan-le-feil let go of the hand on her stomach and fanned His Highness Allen's Moon. "I'm very good at that little spell Helga taught me."
"I won't do it again, mother! But you should also pay attention to your body … "Alan was relieved that he could solve this problem. However, when he heard Helga's magic, he swallowed his saliva dryly. If mother knew about Luna's condition, he would not be able to get a month's worth of Her Highness … (Author's Note: The split word is really the author's happy word. My note is just to let Her Highness appear three times a month!) Everything is in threes!
"So, Allen, why did you go to the Lord Voldemort this time?" Daisy said. Seeing her mother happily slapping Allen, she followed suit.
"Don't hit me …" Allen took out the dark green bag with the peacock embroidered on it, then took off the waist bag he was carrying and put it on the coffee table. "The harvest this time is not bad …" Allen pointed at the dark green bag in Hermione's hand and smiled playfully. "Lucius just gave that to Tom. It contains the supplies that the pure-blood families gave to The Dark Lord … In addition, that bag contains some of the wealth they recently robbed in Europe. There aren't many gold coins, and they need to be sold before they can be converted into cash … Although I don't really plan to sell them, I still have to thank Tom for his generosity …"
"Allen, you don't lack money!!!" Emily saw that Allen was only risking his life for some gold coins and was panting with anger again. "You even warned me to be careful when I sell things from the Everything Room!!!"
"What? Emily, you're selling things from the Everything Room?!!! "Hermione, the president of the Female Student Union, couldn't sit still.
Morgan-le-feil was also distracted. "Emily, you're stealing things from your brother's school to sell?!"
"Why didn't I think of earning pocket money like this when I was in school?" Daisy was very upset. "When I was in school, my family wasn't as rich as it is now. I was short of money!"
Emily, who had blurted out the truth, was a little flustered. She found that everyone's attention had shifted from Allen to her. For a moment, she couldn't think of a good excuse.
"Wait a minute, I'm the one who asked Emily to sell things. We're cleaning up the Everything Room …" Allen seized the opportunity to help his sister out of the predicament and left a good impression on Emily. He also didn't want to fall into the situation where he was criticized by everyone just now. He tried to evade the important point and twisted the issue. "Of course, she did get some extra gold coins as pocket money … I shouldn't have told you about this, Mom … But let's talk about business first." Allen said solemnly. "This wealth is necessary because we should announce on TV that I've brought back their wealth from The Dark Lord and return it to the victims in Europe. Let those things like art pieces be returned to their original owners through divination … As for the gold coins, let these victims go to their own Ministry of Magic to get a proof of property loss. At that time, a certain amount of compensation will be given according to the ratio."
Emily frowned and asked, "But Allen, what if the Ministry of Magic gives them a false proof in order to create trouble for us?"
"Announce in advance that the Ravenclaw Temple and Umbrella will provide Soul Catchers and Psychic Masters to verify the authenticity, divination, and truth-telling potions." Allen paused. "Of course … That means everyone will have to go to the Wizard Bank in Hogwarts … And I don't intend to compensate them all at once. It will be done in installments … So, Hermione, let the people from Umbrella come up with a detailed plan for you. When the time comes, we'll help them recover their losses but offend them because of the ratio of compensation …"
"Don't worry about them. I'll make the decision myself." Hermione fastened two traceless retractable bags to her belt and then went to the study to start planning. Although eating a full meal would make people lazy, she felt like she was injected with a vitality potion when she thought she could help others.
Emily, who had just been caught, did not want to stay any longer. She took the opportunity to sneak away. Daisy took over the task of taking care of her mother and helped her back to her room.
After the others left, Allen noticed that Penello, who was standing behind him, did not make a sound for a long time. He turned his head and laughed dryly. "Penello, don't worry … I was just careless …"
Penello threw herself on Allen's back and hugged him tightly. She rested her head on his back. "Allen, I'm sorry. I'm so useless … I'm not as good as Luna and Hermione …"
Allen then realized that Penello probably felt inferior because of Luna's disappearance in the name of research and Hermione's contribution in managing Umbrella and Wizard Bank. Today, when he went to rob Tom alone, Penello realized that her support for Allen's strength was getting more and more difficult.
"Don't talk nonsense. Don't think too much about it, Penello." Allen grabbed Penello's hand. "If you came with me today, I won't get hurt, right? It's just that I'm used to bullying Tom today. I didn't expect an honest man to resist …"
"Allen, what's Luna doing recently?" Penello did not let go of Allen. She pressed her face on his back and said in a muffled voice, "I can't read the scrolls by myself …"
"Penello, she has something to do for the time being … You should also consolidate what you've learned step by step." After Allen finished speaking, he rolled his eyes. "By the way, I just got news from the Death Eaters. They went to rob the French Magic World again today. It seems to be in response to our declaration of them as a Sanctuary Country, but it's too late to stop them. However, your Red Umbrella department can use this as an excuse to station themselves in France and provide protection and assistance to the compatriots of Hibiscus Chinensis …" Allen pretended to blame Penello. "You see, isn't this the time for you to perform? You just fell into a misunderstanding before. Because England is too peaceful, you felt that you were useless. How is the training of your people? Do you have any problems dealing with ordinary Death Eaters? "
"Of course not! Even dealing with Albert's Armed Aura is not a problem for my people! " As Allen expected, Penello calmed down after a round of persuasion and provocation. She said in a sharp voice, "I'll order them to get ready!"
"Wait, Penello, don't go to France by yourself!" Tell your people to inform me if they meet Tom … Uh, I mean us, we'll go together … Although I think he should know how to restrain himself after I beat him up again today … "He paused." One more thing, help me prepare an invisibility cloak made of invisible beast fur … In fact, it's one per year … Harry's real one was lost in school tonight, so I have to compensate him a little. Although this thing will cause the invisibility effect to lose its effectiveness as time goes by, if I give him one every year, it'll be enough for him to use when he just wants to go on an adventure like a night tour of the campus … "He paused and said," One more thing, help me prepare an invisibility cloak made of invisible beast fur … In fact, it's one per year … Harry's real one was lost in school tonight, so I have to compensate him a little.
