[HP] Alchemy and Love

However, she did not have the opportunity to go to the Porter's house for an appointment the next day.

Ever since Remus made up his mind to avoid her, the two of them hadn't eaten together—even with other people—not that many times, and Lorenthia had even put some thought into choosing clothes before going out.However, just as she was about to go out, a message from James flashed red on everyone's communication cards: "There was an explosion at the entrance of Diagon Alley. The Aurors are controlling the situation, don't go."

Both James and Sirius were Aurors, so they must have been there.As a result, the evening party was naturally cancelled. Lorenthia was a little disappointed, but more worried about them.The Daily Prophet will be delivered tomorrow, and for the first time, Lorenthia knows how inconvenient it is for the wizarding world to not have a TV.With a glimmer of hope, she turned on the radio that had been left unused in the corner for a long time, and adjusted the channel in a strange way.

Music channels, weather forecasts, novel readings, boring expert interviews with Hu Meizi cleaning up... Lorenzia tuned around, but it seemed that every channel was broadcasting those irrelevant trifles.Impatiently, she started listening to the channels one by one from the beginning. Finally, when she was tuned to the third round, a news channel broadcast what she wanted to hear.

"...seems to be under the control of the Ministry of Magic. The Aurors sealed off the area at the entrance of Diagon Alley, and rudely refused the reporter's request to enter the interview, so we are currently unable to learn further details. From a distance, The fire appears to have been extinguished and the Dark Mark hanging over the bar is still there. Several Aurors are rebuilding the destroyed building and resuscitating the wounded. A team of St. Mungo's paramedics have arrived. But we're afraid that A huge explosion has destroyed the magical barrier at the entrance to Diagon Alley, which is not so easy to rebuild. The Dark Mark may mean that there were victims before the explosion started, but eyewitnesses at the scene said that the mark only started to appear after the explosion. In this regard, Alastor Moody, Director of the Auror Executive Division who was present, refused to answer our questions..."

At least the Aurors got the situation under control pretty quickly - which should mean that James and Sirius and Moody were all safe.Lorenthia felt relieved.The broadcast continued: "It has been confirmed that many wizards and Muggles were injured in the explosion, and more than one Muggle died. Three unidentified men in black robes entered the bar before the explosion... Diagon Alley was already crowded with wizards looking for their relatives and friends, Aurors used magic barriers to seal off the explosion site..."

Lorenthia continued to listen closely for a while, but the reporter was obviously also stopped outside the blockade, and the news he learned was limited.She contacted Lily and Remus again, both of whom were worried about each other, but agreed that it was best not to cause trouble at the scene.Just when Lorenthia was considering whether to go to Lily's house and wait for the news with her, the defensive spell she set was suddenly triggered.

Lorenthia jumped up, and immediately clenched her wand tightly in her hand. "Loren, Loren, are you at home?" An anxious voice came from outside the door.

It was Kathy's voice, but the tone was nothing like the handsome and bold Kathy.So Lorenthia was still skeptical.She quickly bent down to open the box, waved her hand to signal Xuehua to run to the box and wait, and said loudly, "Prove your identity!"

"Using magic to transform Muggle weapons is my idea for you. You thought it was not feasible at first, but then I asked my father for the structure diagram of the gun to show you!" Casey shouted outside the door, "You And dismantled my dad's gun, remember?"

Lorencia breathed a sigh of relief, and went to the door to take a look through the cat's eyes—Kathy was outside the door, her hair was messed up, and her face was stained with tears, but she was the only one.Lorenzia immediately opened the door and pulled her in: "What's wrong?" She asked almost in panic.In the seven years she and Kathy have been classmates, she has never seen her cry once.

"Loren, please, how strong is the amulet you gave my dad against an attack?" Casey asked in a crying voice, holding her hand tightly as if grabbing a life-saving straw, "Can you protect me from such an explosion?" him?"

"What—your father—"

"He was the sheriff of that area, and he was patrolling there at the time... I don't know if the Death Eaters deliberately lured his team there..." Casey cried, "Now it's blocked by Aurors, They're erasing Muggle memories everywhere, and I can't get past either side... I don't know if he's still alive..."

"Don't panic, don't panic. The power of the explosion depends on the distance from the center of the explosion. I heard on the radio that the explosion destroyed the magic barrier in Diagon Alley, so the center should be at the brick wall at the entrance. If it is In that case, your father is probably still alive outside of the Leaky Cauldron." Lorencia hastily comforted her, although she knew very well that there might be more than one person casting the spell in an explosion of this scale, which means that there might be more than one person casting the spell. There were multiple epicenters of the explosion—but keep those things out of Casey's mind just yet. "St. Mungo, by the way, the wounded are going to St. Mungo's. Have you been there?"

"Will Muggle wounded be sent too?" Kathy asked, sobbing. "I—I don't know—"

"It's possible." Lorenthia hugged her and patted her on the back, but she wasn't sure about it.Kathy has always been strong, but she is introverted. Kathy and Deanna, her two friends at school, have been taking care of her all the time. She has almost no experience of taking care of others and comforting others.She racked her brains for words of reassurance: "Your dad will be all right, take it easy... I have a friend in St. Mungo's, I'll go ask him... Come, hold Snowflake."

She hugged Snow Flower, who had grown into a big cat, and Snow Flower immediately moved forward and licked Kathy's face.Lorencia took the opportunity to get away and hide in the bathroom.She quickly pulled out her communication card, sent a message to James, and sent a message to Edgar, describing the figure and appearance of Casey's father, and asking if they had seen any survivors who matched the characteristics.Then she hid the communication card again, wet a towel, and went out to wipe Kathy's face.

"Thanks," Kathy whimpered, burying her face in the towel, "I'm sorry, but I really don't know who to turn to—I don't know anyone from St. Ask Papa what's going on, but I don't know, nobody told me—"

"He'll be fine." Lorenthia could only soothe in vain.When she took the towel back to the bathroom, she quickly peeked at the communication card again. James may have been too busy to see it, but Edgar replied to her: "The Equipment Accident Department has become a temporary emergency center. In a group, I don't know who was sent. I heard that there are several Muggle survivors, maybe you can come and look for them. Good luck to your friends."

Lorencia quickly thanked her, and her heart calmed down a little.She went out and pulled Casey up: "Come on, I'll accompany you to St. Mungo's to see, maybe your father is there."

She apparated to St. Mungo's gate with Kathy, and found that the entire street had been cast with spells—Muggle-repelling spells and various anti-detection spells.Just as the two landed on the ground, a wizard in the uniform of Dr. St. Mungo ran down the street out of breath, and beside him was a stretcher floating with a woman covered in blood lying on it. "Get out of the way!" he yelled breathlessly, crashing into the old camouflage glass window and disappearing.

Casey turned pale.An Auror standing by the street approached them. "What are you doing here?"

"My dad was at the Leaky Cauldron when it exploded," Kathy said.Auror gave them a sympathetic look: "The wounded who just arrived today haven't put their names on the hospital's barrier, come with me."

He led the two of them to the glass window: "Emergency password 1719."

The model nodded and left. Lorenthia thanked the Auror and pulled Casey into the room.

The halls of St. Mungo's were even more crowded than usual, and the corridors leading to the first-floor wards were packed to the brim, but eerily quiet.Looking around, most of the people had tears in their eyes, and an expression of similar anxiety and fear on their faces.Lorenthia carefully approached a witch who was standing on the side, who looked relatively calm: "May I ask if you know where the wounded are...?"

"New?" The young witch patted Casey's shoulder sympathetically, "Wait, there are too many people, we can't squeeze in, and now all the family members can't get in."

"How long will it take?" Lorenthia knew that she was asking a stupid question as soon as she opened her mouth—the witch in front of her was obviously a family member who had come to wait for the news, so she naturally wouldn't know, "Okay, thank you. "

She pulled Kathy aside and waited.After an unknown amount of time, someone got up and left, so they sat on empty chairs.Just as she sat down, the double-sided mirror that Lorencia was wearing next to her body suddenly vibrated violently—this kind of situation can only happen when the person on the opposite side keeps calling her name.She lit up the mirror, and her mother's face suddenly appeared on the other side.

Lady Cassandra Fields was a beautiful, stylish lady who had been an Auror for a while.Lorenthia had never seen her mother in such a mess, only in her pajamas and her hair was a mess.She was really taken aback: "Mom? What's the matter, what happened——"

"Loren, oh baby, are you all right?" Cassandra interrupted eagerly. "Where are you? There was an explosion in Diagon Alley? Are you hurt? Why are you in St. Mungo's?"

"I'm fine, I wasn't there, I wasn't hurt, really nothing." Lorenthia reassured her firmly, but Cassandra was clearly not convinced: "Then why are you in St. Mungo's?"

"I came with Casey, her father may be injured." Lorenzia assured, "I'm really fine, I'm not injured....You heard about the explosion in Diagon Alley? It shouldn't be early morning in the United States Four o'clock?"

"Of course we've heard! You're scaring us to death with such a big thing, baby." Cassandra almost begged, "Come to America and stay where Mommy can see you, okay?"

This time, Lorenthia's objection suddenly got stuck in her throat.She looked at her mother's red eye circles and disheveled hair on the other side of the mirror, and then looked at Kathy beside her who was still sobbing and restless, and couldn't even sit still for a minute.Her parents never showed weakness to her, and it was only at this moment that Lorenzia realized that the impact she had on her parents by staying in the UK might be more serious than she thought... They have always been so concerned about the news in the UK , even if it happened in the early hours of American time, do you want to know the news as soon as possible?If something happened to her, did she really have the right to let her mother bear such anxiety and grief?

"I...I will think about it." Finally, she said dryly, "Let's talk about it later."
