HP Dawn Night

Chapter 260

Old Mrs. Bulstrode's story is simple - Cornelia Rosier was a good friend of Olivia Bulstrode, who she admired when she was a student at Hogwarts.But after she joined the Death Eaters, she began to want to overwhelm Signus. At this time, what happened to my mother happened, and Signus' status in front of the Dark Lord dropped drastically. The "source of life" project was also aborted.Signus tries to cement his position through Olivia's marriage, but Olivia suddenly disappears.He tried to marry his sister to another Death Eater, but Olivia went mad and killed the groom at the wedding, and Mr. Burst was murdered in revenge by the groom's family.Soon after, the Dark Lord fell, Signus was imprisoned, and Millicent's mother tried to escape with the money, but was accidentally killed by an Auror...

"'Burstrode's Curse' was not brought by my mother." I felt the need to defend my mother's reputation. "From your story, I think it was Millicent's mother who brought it—" Pan Xi kicked me, and she cleared her throat:

"If you don't mind, Mrs. Burst, we'd like to have a chat with Olivia. My mother made a point of highlighting her last conversation with Olivia, and I thought that might be helpful."

"What are you going to do?" Old Mrs. Bulstrode looked at us lifelessly. "Olivia has been crazy for 18 years. She always thought that she was still 19 years old and was waiting to marry Regulus..."

"Reculus!" Pansy and I exclaimed at the same time, "You mentioned Regulus just now?"

"Yes."

"The Regulus who disappeared in 1980? Regulus Black? His full abbreviation is RAB? A Death Eater?" I asked repeatedly, and the old Mrs. Burst raised her eyelids and looked at me:

"how do you know?"

I took out the transcript of Mrs. Parkinson's diary mentioning Regulus from my pocket and handed it to the old Mrs. Bulstrode: "In addition to this, I also know that Regulus seems to be involved in some Only things related to the Dark Lord are missing." I recalled the note in the locket that Potter handed me, "He seems to have - betrayed the Dark Lord."

The old Mrs. Burst let go of her hand, and the note fluttered from her hand to the ground: "How dare he! Signus spared no effort to support him, help him, and was even willing to marry Ollie to him! How dare he !"

"Calm down...that's why we want to see Olivia, there are too many mysteries in it." Pansy looked earnestly at the old Mrs. Burst, "Besides, you must notice that now A person who claims to be the daughter of Cornelia and Evan, the Dark Lord trusts her very much—"

"Cornelia and Evan's daughter? No, that's absolutely impossible." Old Mrs. Burst muttered to herself.

"My mother also mentioned Cornelia and Barty Crouch Jr., who seem to have been paired in the 'Source of Life' project?" Pansy asked tentatively.

"I don't know," said old Mrs. Burst slowly, as if she was hesitant to agree to our request easily.Pansy and I looked at each other:

"Old Mrs. Burst, if you will let us see Olivia," I said, "maybe I can help you regain your glory."

"What does it mean?"

"I can convince the Dark Lord to make Millicent a Death Eater," I said. "The Dark Lord is eager to call back his old ministry, so he must also wish to see a Bulstrode heir."

Old Mrs. Burst's eyes seemed to be suddenly lit by a match, and she stretched out her withered hand to firmly grasp me: "Is this true?"

I nodded, and a strange look suddenly appeared on her wrinkled face: "Okay, okay, you come with me—" She got up stumblingly, and led us upstairs.I looked back at Pansy, and I didn't expect that it was an illusory promise that finally helped us achieve our goal.

Old Mrs. Burst led us into the attic on the top floor, and the door leading to the attic was surrounded by layers of chains.

"Ollie will try to run away and find Regulus when she's mad." Old Mrs. Burst tapped the chains with her wand, "but when she's not mad, she looks very good and docile, Like a little lamb."

The attic door creaked open.

"Mom, did you bring my bouquet?" A soft but no longer young voice came from inside.Old Mrs. Burst waved her wand and lit the lights in the attic:

"I brought guests to see you, Ollie, and they want to come and bless you."

"Come 'em in, who is it, mother? Cornelia or Hyacins?"

Old Mrs. Burst beckoned us in.

The attic was arranged as a girly bedroom, and I saw a woman sitting in front of the vanity mirror at a glance—she should be the same age as Mrs. Parkinson, but she looked thin and pale, like a wandering spirit or a ghost.As I got closer, her face was already wrinkled, her eyes were empty, her hair was gray, and she was wearing an old wedding dress.

"Olivia Burstrod?" I whispered, and at the same time I found that she was handcuffed at the wrists and feet, and the ends of the chains were nailed to the wall.

"Who are you?" she asked in a soft, sleepy voice.

"Can we have a chat with her alone, Mrs. Birdsford?" Pansy asked.After a while, I heard the attic door being closed again.

"I'm Hyacinth," Pansy said, "I'm here to see you." She stomped on me, but I didn't want to call myself Rozier, so I coughed:

"I'm Maggie, and I'm coming back to see you with Hyacinth."

"Oh, it's you!" After saying this, Olivia Burst suddenly sat back in front of the dressing table without warning, picked up the comb and combed her hair slowly.

"What should we do?" I asked. "I brought Veritaserum."

"Would Veritaserum work for her? And we can't get her to drink it," Pansy suggested. "Maybe I can use Legilimency."

"You try. I hope she doesn't attack us for this." I stared nervously at the chains on the ground.

"Dementor!"

Olivia Burst didn't respond, and I breathed a sigh of relief.

But Pansy put down her wand in disappointment: "I didn't find any clips related to Rozier's children. It seems that she and Cornelia haven't seen each other since a long time ago."

"Maybe they broke up after Signus and Cornelia parted ways."

"Then what should we do now?" Pansy shook her head dejectedly. "She must not know if Daphne is Cornelia's daughter."

"I have a risky approach that might work." I suggested, "Let's assume that Daphne is not of Rozier's blood, so if we manage to make Astoria pretend to be Cornelia and Barty Jr." Where's Crouch's daughter?"

"Are you going to use this to deceive the Dark Lord?" Pansy opened her eyes wide, "Don't forget that the Dark Lord himself said that Daphne is the daughter of Cornelia and Evan, there must be something you don't know , aren't you afraid of going through the gang?"

She has a point.

"But... among those who are alive and awake now, who else can know this past? We can't let Daphne Li Daitao freeze."

"You said that when Daphne appeared and revealed her identity that day, many Death Eaters showed shocked expressions, but they seemed to believe it after seeing the ring?"

"Yes."

Pansy pondered for a moment: "Your necklace was written by Cornelia Rosier, but she didn't dedicate it to the Dark Lord."

"For some reason, yes. Maybe it was too late, maybe she wanted to keep it private."

"We don't have a direct way to prove that Daphne is lying, but maybe we can indirectly prove her false identity." Pansy muttered to himself, "As a descendant of a top Death Eater, Daphne's magic talent is a little too weak."

"What do you mean?" I held my breath, "We don't need to act rashly now, until we get back to Hogwarts?"

"Yes, until then, Daphne will be alone, and we can also ask Astoria to see if she knows anything." Pansy said, "In the meantime, you and Draco had better cooperate with Daphne ...Since she said that she is a descendant of Rozier, then you should try to leave the limelight to her, and let her go on any dangerous missions... If the Dark Lord is not confused, he will sooner or later see that she is lying."

I suddenly understood Pansy's meaning: "I can keep that necklace as a last weapon. Either use it to kill Daphne, or use it to prove Daphne's false identity."

"Yes." Pansy nodded, "but the best way is to let her kill herself."

I looked back at the woman braiding her hair in front of the mirror: "We can go."

"I sympathize with her. It was smooth sailing, but everything disappeared overnight." I don't know what Pansy saw in Olivia Burst's memory, but after thinking about it, I know that this How a woman's life has changed.

"Wait a minute, Margaret!" She stood up suddenly, and took out a piece of paper from under the pillow to give it to me. "This is the letter that Signus asked me to give you."

I was forced to take the crumpled piece of paper, but when I unfolded it, I found that there was only one line on it:

That baby is dead.

"We'd better keep this note," I said to Pansy.
