HP Dawn Night

Chapter 256 Daphne's True and False

"No!" Bella's scream could almost destroy the entire Malfoy Manor, she jumped up and turned her head to the Dark Lord, "Master, this is impossible! The last Rozier disappeared 16 years ago !"

"Rozier, my most loyal servant." The Dark Lord ignored Bella's protest, the snake climbed from his lap onto the table, and swam towards Daphne at the end of the long table, "Yes, they are more than sitting Everyone at the long table is to be loyal... Evan fought for me to the last moment, and was killed for not wanting to be captured...and Cornelia, I certainly won't forget that she was still with the Aurors after I disappeared... The Order of the Phoenix has been fighting for a year...Merlin took away my two Rosiers, and now I have brought a third one...Come on, dear Daphne, please sit down and let them take a good look at you."

Rozier, this is a name that my generation has never heard.But one only needs to look a little farther back in the history books of magic to find out how much the surname played a role in the Dark Lord's first domination of Britain.If either Evan or Cornelia had survived, the Dark Lord would not be entrenched in the Malfoy house today, nor would he rely heavily on Bellatrix.

"Master, master, this is impossible! In the past 16 years, there has been no news that Rozier still has descendants. This may be a lie—"

"Enough, Bella!"

Bellatrix was terrified, and she angrily shut up at the Dark Lord's order, but that didn't stop the remaining whispers at the long table.

I once found a portrait of Cornelia Rozier in order to convince Potter, but I don't really know how the notorious Rozier family died.But... I don't believe that Daphne will be Rozier's descendant.How could such a cruel and vicious Death Eater family have a junior like Daphne who was narrow-minded and obsessed with sisters fighting?

"Master," Dolohov said first to the Dark Lord, after discussing in a low voice with Yaxley, "I don't understand what's going on."

"Ah, yes, Dolohov, I was so happy that I forgot to explain it to you," said the Dark Lord. "And thanks to Nott, whose son Theodore introduced Daphne to me, But Theodore may not know what kind of sharp knife he sent me... When dear Daphne told me about her loyalty, I didn't fully believe it until—”

All eyes turned to Daphne again, she was pale but surprisingly calm.Seeing that everyone was looking over, she reached out and took out a ring from the pocket of her robe——

"Until Daphne brought out the token I gave Evan Rozier 18 years ago."

Daphne put the black ring inlaid with a huge emerald on the table.Gagson, who was sitting at the end of the long table, picked it up, looked at it for a while, and handed it to Dolphin Rohr beside him. Everyone who saw the ring showed expressions of awe or anxiety, and when the ring was passed to me When I held it in my hand, I saw a line engraved on the inner circle of the ring: "Lord Voldemort's most devout and fearless follower: Rozier".

Bellatrix's eyes were wide with emotion as she watched me hand the ring to Dad, and when Dad handed it to her, Bella froze as if she had seen something shady. The ground trembled a bit.Her hand trembled convulsively to take the ring, and when she saw the line of words, Bella let go of her hand as if being burned, and the ring fell to the table with a clatter.

"Master! How can you believe that Rozier is coming back with only one ring!" Bella was almost wailing, "This must be a villain's deception. Unfortunately, Rozier's glory was stolen by someone with a heart—"

"Bella," the Dark Lord hissed impatiently, "Rozier followed me to the top, yes, I have been away from the world for many years." His red eyes widened excitedly, "but Merlin sent Return my Rozier, this time, even Dumbledore's resurrection cannot stop my power."

I don't know why Bella lost her composure. If the rumors I heard are true, why should she be afraid of a surname that she personally cut off many years ago?I looked at Daphne at the end of the long table, no matter what I did not believe her words, but... It seems that the Dark Lord has determined that Rozier's return will lead him to take down the entire wizarding world.

"Daphne suggested that I restart a project that unfortunately died..." I guessed what he was going to say, "The Source of Life Project." After the ring returned to Daphne's hands, the Dark Lord announced loudly, "I thought about it again. Think, who in the wizarding world is worthy of Rozier? Black? Malfoy?"

I suddenly realized what he wanted to say. There is only one person in this world who has the blood of both Black and Malfoy... But Dad patted my hand under the table in time, and I regained my composure. His face turned to me: "However, I can't hurt dear Violet just because of Daphne."

"Thank you, master." I bowed my head.

"Therefore - Nott, your son Theodore asked me for Astoria," the Dark Lord turned to Nott, "Of course I will not allow such a low/low blood to tarn/ Dirty Knott, therefore, you will get a noble Rozier."

"Thank you, Master." A lot of expressions flashed across Old Nott's face for a moment, but in the end they froze into tears of gratitude, "Theodore was just deceived by this Mudblood, and when he wakes up, he will definitely I understand your painstaking efforts."

"Speaking of which, it seems we should deal with Miss Astoria." The Dark Lord smiled shortly, "I forgot to explain, she is the result of the love between Mrs. Greengrass and a Muggle postman... And what you don't know is that Mrs. Greengrass is a Squib, and how can a Squib be a wizard!"

The Death Eaters booed, and I looked up at Astoria in disbelief. Miss Astoria, who fascinated thousands of boys in Slytherin, could not be Mrs. Greenglass anyway. The product of stealing/love, otherwise why would she be pampered by her parents?

"Unfortunately, I cannot tolerate such a person staying in the great Slytherin," the Dark Lord pronounced coldly, "Dear Violet, as far as I know, Miss Astoria also tried to seduce Draco So, why don't you punish her?"

"I have a better idea, my lord," I said, and the Dark Lord narrowed his eyes. "Such deceit is a disgrace to Slytherin and the pure-blood family. I beg you to let me take Astoria Take the lady back to Hogwarts. I must let everyone know what it is to deceive us - the pure-bloods, the followers of the Dark Lord, and the Dark Lord himself."

The Dark Lord didn't speak, but Daphne smiled softly: "Oh, oh... Snape, isn't your action really out of untimely mercy?"

"No, dear Daphne. On the contrary, a simple killing curse is too much fun." I shook my head, "Master, since you are determined to make some reforms to the Hogwarts curriculum, let Astor Miss Leah will take the lead and set an example for everyone."

"Violet, you really won't let me down." The Dark Lord laughed loudly, "I really want to know what will happen if you and Cornelia meet on a narrow road."

"Although I don't have the honor to witness Cornelia Rozier's demeanor with my own eyes, I think I will have a lot of time to compete with Daphne in the future." I looked at Daphne, her face was pale, but looking at mine But her eyes were colder than ice and snow, "I believe that Daphne must have the characteristics of the Rozier family... she is also smart, dexterous and proficient in fighting..."

"Yes, master," Bella said suddenly to help, "I remember that Cornelia is best at all kinds of magic spells that make life worse than death, and Evan is simply an expert in the unforgivable curse. I believe Daphne is the same? We have It’s been a long time since I’ve seen such a wonderful magic show, if I’m lucky enough to see Daphne perform it, I’m sure everyone here will be convinced—I’m sure Violet will be happy to cooperate.” Bella and I exchanged glances , for some reason, she temporarily let go of her thoughts of dealing with me, and chose to deal with Daphne who suddenly appeared first.

"Happy to accompany you." I looked back at Daphne, trying to break her disguise, "By the way, who are your parents?"

A strange smile appeared on Daphne's pale face, but the Dark Lord laughed loudly behind me: "Daphne is naturally the purest and noblest Rozier...Okay, Violet, don't get excited, I'm very excited Aware of your invincible feats at Hogwarts. But for now, we'd better decide where some of the Miss Astorias go."

"I can take my good sister away, master." Daphne said suddenly impatiently, a crack appeared on her cold mask, and I could almost see how eager she was to show off in front of Astoria She won like never before.

"No, Master, I think it's the best decision to let her stay in Malfoy Manor." I interrupted Daphne, "There is absolutely no way she can escape from your grasp."

Sullenness flashed in Daphne's eyes, and the Dark Lord brought the snake back to his lap: "Do as you say, Violet...you two remind me of Bella and Cornelia from the past..."

I wanted to ask Bella why she was afraid of Rozier, but under the supervision of the Dark Lord, I could only obediently go back to Spider's End with my father.

"She must not be a descendant of Rozier!" I said to Dad as soon as I entered the door.

"I'm very skeptical too, but she did take out the ring." Dad paced back and forth in the dining room, "Rozier has disappeared for nearly 20 years, and now she has produced evidence, no one can prove that she is lying... There are too many strange things in it.”

"The Dark Lord would actually believe it." I sneered, "It seems that he is not very smart."

Dad gave me a stern look: "Rozier reminded him of his former glory, not to mention that he had just cleared Dumbledore's big obstacle, and the Dark Lord might have been a little... inflated. It made him lose his confidence. Howe's judgment."

"We might be able to tease her out with Legilimency or Veritaserum."

Dad shook his head: "She must have been prepared... Rozier's descendants grew up in the Greengrass family by accident, and then accidentally realized their own background. Although this story is incredible, but But there is no obvious flaw. She doesn't need to explain why she came to the Greengrass house, she just needs to convince the Dark Lord."

"But he really believed it!" I slumped on the chair, "I won't believe her nonsense!"

"We don't know if her words are true or not," Dad warned, "What's more, even the Dark Lord believes her life experience, so you can't act rashly."

"I saved Astoria at least, maybe I can get some news from her."

"You can also see that Daphne hates Astoria deeply, and she may not be innocent." Dad warned again, "You can't push Daphne too hard, the Dark Lord still believes that she is Rozier's descendant , and he will never allow you to hurt his favorite believer."

"But—Dad, what happened to the Rozier family? Why did Bella react so strongly?" I asked, and Dad stopped at the dining table:

"Evan Rosier was one of the earliest followers of the Dark Lord. He was loyal and willing to die for his master. His only daughter Cornelia carried forward this spirit. Undoubtedly, a few years later, the father and daughter became the most powerful assistants of the Dark Lord, and no one of them could satisfy the Dark Lord after that." Dad paused, "As for Bella , she used to be Cornelia's idol. But after Cornelia became a Death Eater, she was committed to replacing her former idol. She and Bella fought for only a few years, but almost Push Bella off the throne—"

"But she failed, because the Dark Lord fell."

"Yes, but Cornelia was once Bella's nightmare, which is why she was so terrified."

"The Dark Lord said today that Daphne is the noblest and purest Rozier?" I looked at my father. "He means that Daphne is the daughter of Evan and Cornelia...?"

He sat down on the chair: "I don't know if Evan and Cornelia have that kind of relationship... I was busy with other things at the time. But everything is possible under the source of life project—"

At this time, the door was knocked hastily.I was startled, Dad had already raised his wand behind me and aimed at the door: "Who is it?"

"Vio, it's me, Pansy!" Pansy's voice came from outside the door. I tried to open the door, but Dad stopped me:

"Prove your identity."

"Professor Snape? Well... Vio gave me this address for my summer correspondence, sorry for the intrusion, but I've just returned from St. Mungo's with some news—"

Dad frowned, and with a flick of his wand, the door swung open.Pansy rushed through the door: "I have some news for you."

"Me too," I said before she did. "Daphne says she's the daughter of Evan Rozier and Cornelia Rozier, and by the way, Rozier is—"

"I know who Rozier is. She made your opal necklace." Pansy pulled off her hood, her eyes sparkling, "Daphne is Rozier's daughter? I don't believe it."

"I don't believe it either, but..."

Dad coughed heavily, "Sorry, but Violet, you just told her everything?"

"Professor Snape, I am Vio's staunchest ally." Pansy gave a very inappropriate example, "We are as inseparable as you and your cauldron."

Dad's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and I hurriedly added: "I told Pansy and Blaise everything before the holiday, and we have decided to fight side by side."

"Yes, Professor Snape, although we are young, we are not hasty." Pansy said bluntly, "Believe it or not, but I am ready to sacrifice at any time, and I believe Vio is also—"

"Stop talking nonsense, Miss Parkinson, with your tongue, you can survive ten thousand wars." Dad sneered.

"With your kind words, Professor." Pansy issued an invitation, "Would you like to come and discuss the latest information with us?"

"Slytherins weren't popular in our time fighting side by side." I believe there was a moment when Dad wanted to throw Pansy out, but he finally refrained, and instead turned and walked straight down the basement, as if he didn't want to listen to our conversation anymore." With all due respect, although the plans you have concocted one after another are full of loopholes, they have miraculously kept you from digging your own graves. But Merlin can’t keep you lucky forever, so don’t cause trouble!”

"We will find evidence to disprove Daphne's identity." Pansy continued like a cannonball, "but I have to go back to Parkinson Manor to find something first."

"what?"

"My mother's diary!" She suddenly lowered her voice, "My father and her have erased many things about her in the past ten years, but she still has an undestroyed diary, hidden in the Somewhere in Parkinson's Manor. She told me that in that diary she wrote down her last conversation with Olivia Burst—"

"Who is Olivia Burst?"

"Millison Bulstrode's aunt! Cygnus Bulstrode's sister!" Pansy whispered. "She was once Regulus Black's future fiancée." Suddenly I Thinking of the young woman Millican had seen in his memory.

"Who told you all this?"

"My mother."

"I thought she wasn't going to reach out."

"I told her you tried to kill Bellatrix a few days ago, and she immediately changed her mind. But, uh... her memory seems to have been damaged quite a bit. She only remembers that the diary is in Parkinson Manor , but I don’t remember what she talked about with Bostrode, and where the diary was hidden.” Pansy shook her head, “In short, I have to go first.”

"Wait a minute," I said, picking up the cloak that lay on the chair, "I'll go with you."

"You're not old enough to use magic outside of school, and my mother warned me that my father would try to stop us from getting the diary," Pansy said. "My mother said he wasn't much kinder than Rozier." .”

"I'm sure I wouldn't die at Parkinson Manor, Pansy." I put on my cloak, "If there is such a diary, there must be more secrets hidden in Parkinson Manor. Maybe we can find out more What we don't know - don't forget we're not just dealing with Daphne, but Potter as well."
