[HP] just lover

Vanessa froze in disbelief at Lucius' words.

She retorted almost immediately: "That's impossible."

In the past, Lucius would have smiled mockingly at this moment, mocking her hopeless persistence, but this time he didn't.

He raised his chin slightly towards Narcissa, and Narcissa nodded while hugging Senagiu, and went upstairs to Draco's room.

Vanessa glanced at her back and wanted to say something, but her lips moved but no sound came out.

"Sit down."

Lucius pointed to the sofa next to her with his cane, then walked to the sofa opposite her and sat down.

He looked at the two cups of black tea poured by Narcissa on the table, and said calmly: "Now you are facing someone who can help you solve the problem, so you don't have to leave in such a hurry. Drink tea."

He gracefully raised his hand and made a "please" gesture, then picked up the teacup himself and took a sip.

In fact, his current situation is not as ideal as he imagined. He did not choose to disclose his identity as a spy at this moment, even if it would make him a hero.

What he chose was to continue to hibernate, because only he and Dumbledore knew that the Dark Lord had not completely disappeared, and they couldn't be sure how many Horcruxes he had left in the world, so they couldn't confirm whether he really had nothing to do return.

Lucius would not take the risk of revealing his identity in the event of the possible return of the Dark Lord, which would cause him even more trouble, and he would rather wait a while longer than be a hero now, even if he might have to kill him completely. Infamy before Voldemort's death.

He has enough ability and patience, he is not in a hurry.

It was Vanessa who was in a hurry.

Sirius Black was imprisoned in Azkaban. They all knew where it was. He was still imprisoned for a day, and Vanessa couldn't sleep peacefully for a day. If things went on like this, Black hadn't been tortured to death by the dementors. She couldn't live anymore.

"I really can't drink it." Vanessa slowly sat down on the sofa opposite Lucius, clasped her hands on her knees, stared at the teacup on the table and said, "You said you could help me solve the problem, But I don't want you to show up."

Lucius paused for a moment with the hand holding the teacup, and slowly put it back on the table, with a faint "Oh?"

"Your current situation is not very good, this is not before the war, this is after the war, you..." She raised her eyes and glanced at him, "It is difficult for you to protect your own interests, the Imperius Curse is a good excuse, But it must have cost a lot of money.”

There was a shy expression on Lucius' handsome and flawless face, and he said after a while, "You know about me?"

Vanessa pursed her lips and said, "It's all written in the newspaper. Recently, the sales of the Daily Prophet are very good, and I read it every day." That is the only way she can get the news now, and she will naturally not miss it.

Lucius curled his lips, as if he was a little disappointed, he stretched his arms and leaned against the back of the sofa, loosened the collar of his shirt with one hand, and supported his cane with the other: "That's nothing to me, and what you have to do is indeed It's not difficult, as long as I say a word, or as you said, with a little money, you can achieve your goal."

Vanessa frowned and said, "But I don't want to..."

"You don't want to have anything to do with me anymore? So you don't want me to help you? Even if your husband was tortured by dementors in Azkaban?" Lucius pointed out the facts indifferently, and said in a drawn-out tone, "You married a After Gryffindor, it's really becoming more and more like a Gryffindor, Vanessa."

Every time he called her name, she would get goosebumps all over her body. She was silent for a long time this time and didn't speak. Lucius didn't want to wait any longer, and said directly: "You can take it as Sissy who helped you."

Vanessa looked at him quickly, and Lucius said without changing expression: "Or, you can pay back the money. You are rich now, aren't you? And I happen to like Jin Gallon, so you can pay me a fee."

Vanessa knew he didn't want her money at all.

She was just giving her a step down.

She opened her mouth to refuse, but Narcissa walked down the stairs.

"Lucius." Narcissa came slowly and whispered, "Draco is crying to see you, you go and see him first." She winked at her husband, Lucius frowned, even though he didn't want to leave, But still stood up.

"Excuse me." After he finished speaking in a hoarse tone, he turned and left.

When only Vanessa and Narcissa were left in the huge living room, the atmosphere seemed less depressing.

Narcissa did not sit where Lucius was just now, she sat directly next to Vanessa.

"Are you cold?" Narcissa said, "Dobby, heat up the fireplace."

The house-elf invisibly burned the fireplace more vigorously, but for some reason, it might be related to the luxury of Malfoy Manor. Everything here upholds the traditional Slytherin style, even in the daytime it is dark and cool, even the fireplace It was burning hot, and a warming spell was cast on her body, but Vanessa still felt the cold coming up from the soles of her feet.

"Thank you."

She thanked her anyway, she was not someone who couldn't tell the good from the bad, she knew that Narcissa came down to convince her for Lucius.

They all just want to help her, and at this moment, she can't ask others.

"I'm a failure, aren't I?" Vanessa smiled self-deprecatingly, "I can't find anyone to help, but I want to refuse Lucius' help with dignity. I'm not a good person from the beginning to the end. , and want a good reputation."

Narcissa softly comforted: "Don't think about Vanessa that much, that matter is not as difficult as you think. For Lucius, it is indeed something that can be done with a little money or a word." She said He said, "And me and Millicent—you know, the current Minister of Magic, and I have a good relationship with her. It's actually not difficult. Don't put so much pressure on you."

Vanessa looked at Narcissa with red eyes. Narcissa let out a long sigh of relief, took her into her arms, and said softly, "Siris...he is my younger brother after all. If possible, I hope I can help him too." " She raised her lips slightly, smiling beautifully and gently, "Besides, even if it's not for him, but for the lovely Senna, we have to do that." She teased slightly, "You don't know how much Xiaolong likes Senna , I carried her upstairs just now, and when Xiaolong saw her, his eyes were straight - except for his father and me, he never gave face to others, which is rare."

She comforted her like this, Vanessa finally forced a little smile, Narcissa said slightly relieved: "I am also Blake after all, although sometimes I feel that my ideas are closer to Lucius, and I am not very close to my family." Same." She said after a moment of silence, "But that was my home after all. And you, Nissa, you're a Slytherin, we're all Slytherins, and there's nothing shameful about being selfish and putting your own interests first. I've done a lot of things you don't even bother to do, and I feel at ease."

Vanessa thought for a long time, and said dryly, "Thank you." She couldn't do anything but thank you now.

Narcissa let her go slowly, and the two sat up straight. She brought her black tea again, and this time Vanessa took a sip.

"Then what are your plans?" She asked Vanessa, "If Sirius can really be acquitted in the trial, what are you going to do?" She paused, and she changed her tone, "Or, Sirius . . . if he can't justify himself, if he doesn't even want to justify himself, what are you going to do?"

Holding the black teacup in both hands, Vanessa said in silence for a moment, "He won't."

Narcissa raised her lips without saying a word, and swallowed back the cruel sentence.

"I'll ask you this question later." She said briefly, pulling Vanessa to her feet, "Now, let's go see the child—you haven't met Draco yet, have you? Oh, My little dragon, he is so cute that my heart melts, you must see him. As for the trial, leave it to men to worry about."

Vanessa paused, still hesitating and resisting, Narcissa didn't give her a chance to refuse, and forcibly pulled her upstairs to Draco and Senaggio's baby room.

Lucius had left long ago. He probably expected that his wife could persuade Vanessa, so he had already gone to work.

His ability, no matter before or after the war, does not need to be questioned.

After nearly a week of revelry in the wizarding world, they were surprised to learn that Sirius Black's trial would be held a day later, with the entire Wizengamot judges in attendance.

This news shocked many people. People felt that a person as heinous as Black should be imprisoned in Azkaban for the rest of his life, or simply accept the Dementor's Kiss. ​​He must not be allowed to come out to harm people again.

The Ministry of Magic had already imprisoned him, hadn't it?Why the sudden resumption of his trial?

All doubts can only wait until the judgment day.

Rita Skeeter, as the popular reporter for the Daily Prophet, got a very good position on Judgment Day.

She saw the most eye-catching lady in the crowd at a glance. She was sitting at the front of the spectator seats, wearing a dark green silk skirt and a calf-length black overcoat. Her blonde hair was tied neatly Behind his head, he wore an elegant and decent black gauze hat.Her face was pale, her legs were slightly brought together when she was sitting, her calves exposed outside the coat were wrapped in black stockings, and a pair of pure black high heels perfectly outlined her beautiful and slender ankles.

That's Mrs. Black.

Sirius Black's wife.

Rita Skeeter rolled her eyes and snapped a picture of her.

As Chief Justice of the Wizengamot, Dumbledore will of course be present at today's trial.

His position was very close to Vanessa, and he looked at Vanessa as soon as he appeared, but Vanessa just looked away without making any eye contact with him.

This is no way.

Dumbledore looked away, looked at the place where Sirius was about to be brought out, and fell silent.

The uproar stopped abruptly in an instant, and that instant was—the moment Sirius was brought to appear in court.

After such a long time, when Vanessa saw Sirius again, she felt that she didn't know her husband.

What made him skinny in such a short period of time?What made him so depressed?With iron chains on his hands and feet, he didn't even have the strength to walk up to the judgment seat.

Vanessa stood up almost the moment he appeared, watched him with tears in her eyes, watched him getting closer to her, and then sat on the chair in the center of the judgment table.

Sirius' gray eyes slowly looked at Vanessa, he seemed to move his lips, but he didn't say anything, and quickly lowered his eyes.

In that moment Vanessa remembered the question Narcissa had posed to her.

What would Sirius do if she couldn't get away with it, and wasn't even willing to defend herself?

Vanessa sat back on the chair with chills all over her body, holding the armrests of the chair tightly with her hands, and even her breathing was a little stagnant.

Time waited for no one, she could not communicate with her husband, she could only silently watch the judges start the trial process.

When Sirius' crimes came out of the judge's mouth again, Vanessa clearly saw a change in his rigid expression.He lowered his head in despair and sadness, his once handsome and picturesque face was full of depression and regret.

At that moment, Vanessa, who had always believed that he had done nothing, could not categorically deny it for him.

Why is his eyes full of remorse?

What did he do?

What happened during his absence?

As a wife, Vanessa had no clue about these things. She suddenly discovered that she was like an outsider who knew little about what her husband was doing, not even as much as those high-ranking officials of the Ministry of Magic.

Vanessa's hands trembled a little, she clenched her fists tightly and told herself to calm down.

The trial was still going on, and the last thing she expected was happening.

Sirius did not defend himself in any way.

He has not admitted, but has not refuted any of the allegations.

He just sat there, staring at the ground, taking all the accusations and abuse.

Vanessa finally couldn't take it anymore.

She stood up suddenly, stared at her silent husband and said loudly: "Speak up!"

Sirius froze suddenly. He sat there, not daring to raise his head to face his wife.

"Why don't you speak?!" Vanessa shouted excitedly, "Justify yourself! You can never betray James and Lily! Why don't you explain?!"

Vanessa's almost desperate cry made Sirius finally raise his head.

He looked at his wife with tears in his eyes, moved his lips, and said the first and only word he came here.

He said: "sorry..."

Sorry?

Vanessa looked at him in astonishment, and the staff of the Wizengamot wanted to prevent her from continuing to communicate with the prisoner, but Dumbledore stopped him.

"Sorry???" Vanessa looked at Sirius incredulously, "so what the fuck are you sorry for???"

Her hoarse questioning resounded throughout the court, and the witches who watched seemed to feel the same way, feeling sad for this woman who was kept in the dark by her husband, knew nothing, and still firmly believed in her husband.

Rita Skeeter kept recording something with a quill pen. She pulled down her glasses from time to time to pay attention to the situation, and couldn't help but click her tongue.

Vanessa almost fell in embarrassment, and it was Dumbledore who walked to her to support her.

Vanessa glanced at the old principal, and Dumbledore's blue eyes showed pity. As the chief justice of the Wizengamot, he stood beside her and supported her at this moment, which also proved in another sense Nope - Vanessa really doesn't know anything, she's just a poor woman kept in the dark by a wicked husband.

Vanessa should be grateful to Dumbledore if she could think of her own interests a little bit.

But she didn't.

With a little effort, she pushed him away.

"Siris Black." Vanessa stared at her husband on the trial platform, stood up straight, and paused word by word, "Are you really unwilling to justify things you didn't do?" She said coldly , "Even if you may be imprisoned in Azkaban for the rest of your life, or die there, you will never be able to return to me and Senna?"

Sirius looked at Vanessa with complete despair in his gray eyes.

He really couldn't answer her.

There was no way to justify myself.

He was the only person alive at this moment in the world who knew that he and James had changed Secret Keepers.

No one would believe that at the last moment, he replaced the secret keeper of the Fidelity Curse with Peter.

Yes, Peter Pedirou, one of the best brothers they ever had.

Look, under the trial platform, even Dumbledore didn't trust him. Remus Lupine also came to the trial scene. He sat not far or near, watching everything quietly, but he didn't stand up for him Make any proof.

No one believed him, not even his most beloved headmaster and once best friend.

Besides, he doesn't think he's innocent.

It was he who was going to change the secret keeper.

Even if it was Snape who told Voldemort the prophecy, even if it was Peter who betrayed James and Lily, he is not absolutely innocent.

He also has an unshirkable responsibility in this matter-if he has been acting as the secret keeper himself according to the original plan, he has not planned the self-righteous perfect plan, and he has not thought about what he is responsible for attracting firepower and letting Peter As the real secret keeper hides this arrangement, everything after that will not happen.

James and Lily won't die.

His wife didn't need to be tortured like this either.

He really couldn't defend himself, not only because he was guilty, but also because... Look, the eyes of other bystanders are questioning and cursing, they have found him guilty, if he still wants to defend himself palely Justify, if he is still locked up in the end, it will only make Vanessa's life more difficult, and he will get a worse reputation.

She still has choices now.

He didn't do anything, he didn't say anything, and she could prove that she really didn't know anything about it, as everyone saw.

She is innocent, their children are even more innocent, Peter is dead, he has to bear his responsibility, he wants to atone, but they don't need it.She's so good and earns so much money, she can live well and Senna doesn't need a tainted father.

As long as he has a way to prove his innocence, he is willing to try it, provided that James and Lily are not dead, and he has no other way.Memories can be modified, and it is not convincing to throw out your own memories. Peter is dead, and the Ministry of Magic will think that he deliberately used this to label him.

He can no longer implicate Vanessa.

He made a wrong choice from the very beginning. He thought that if he didn't tell her anything, didn't put pressure on her and make her worry, he could solve this problem perfectly by himself, but he thought, if he went home even once and saw her once For her, the result may be different.

He could only pin his hopes on Dumbledore now.

I hope he can take good care of his innocent wife and daughter for the sake of the past.

Sirius stared at Vanessa, and finally, he shook his head firmly, as if saying goodbye.

Vanessa was completely desperate at that moment.

Her legs were weak and she fell back to the seat. Looking directly at her husband, she suddenly felt that everything she had done today was ridiculous.

Even now, she doesn't think Sirius really betrayed James and Lily.

She trusted her own judgment.

What makes her sad is that Sirius is clearly innocent, but he refuses to defend himself. He probably thinks that his defense will not succeed, so he wants to draw a line with her so that she will not live like him. People shouting and beating?In addition, more, probably he caused so many casualties in that incident, especially the guilt that caused the deaths of James and Lily.

He wants to atone for his sins and stay away from everything, but has he ever thought that the children in the family are still waiting for their father to come home, and the wife is still waiting for the master of the house to return to take care of them.

They also had a happy life, but it was all ruined by Sirius himself.

Before the incident, if he had even listened to Vanessa's advice, even if he had gone home once and told her a little bit of his thoughts and plans, the matter would not have developed to the point it is today.

What he did to her in this matter was to hide, stay away and finally keep silent.

He gave her complete despair and embarrassment.

He used to keep saying that he loved her and that she was the most important person in the world to him, but now it seemed that everything was nothing more than that.

Even if what he said was a little bit sincere, he wouldn't completely disregard her feelings at this moment and just sit there silently like a dead person.

He never understood her, and maybe he thought he was doing it for her own good.

The two of them, perhaps, never really knew each other.

Vanessa smiled self-deprecatingly, waved her hand, and said that there was no need for the staff to stop her.

She has nothing to say, she won't say anything.

She and Sirius...

It’s over.

The trial ended like a farce, with a couple breaking up.

Vanessa ignored Dumbledore's obstruction, walked straight out of the courtroom, and apparated in the open space.

Lucius didn't show up from the beginning to the end, and such an occasion is not suitable for him to appear, but he is actually here all the time.

After everyone left, he lifted the Disillusionment spell on himself and met Dumbledore.

"What do you think of this?" He stood there, wearing a black velvet wizard robe with intricate patterns embroidered on the neckline and cuffs.He was wearing a vintage and elegant black shirt inside, with slightly overgrown cuffs covering some of his fingers. The simple but precious silver snake ring on his hand showed his extraordinary status.Holding his cane, he stared at the smoky courtroom in disgust, not seeing the embarrassment and desperation that had also been tried before.

Dumbledore looked at the direction in which Vanessa disappeared quietly for a while, and said for a long time, "What do you think about this, Lucius?"

Lucius glanced at him and said, "You don't trust your former favorite student at all, Dumbledore?"

Dumbledore frowned slightly, and said after a while: "I can't give a definite answer. At this moment, the only person I can fully trust is probably you."

Lucius looked at him unexpectedly, and Dumbledore said, "Last time, the locket I retrieved with you and Regulus was indeed one of the Horcruxes."

He actually talked about this topic here, Lucius immediately cast a protective spell around him, frowned and said coldly: "Did the temporary disappearance of the Dark Lord make you so unscrupulous and defenseless?"

Dumbledore smiled and said: "Aren't you still here? You will protect yourself. This is what I admire about you, Lucius. You always know exactly what to do to get the best benefit , just like you chose to cooperate with me."

"That's why I have today's result." Lucius glanced at the position of the trial platform inexplicably, "And Black, are you implying that he didn't choose wisely to follow your arrangement and insisted on going his own way, which led to today's end, Dumbledore? profitable?"

Dumbledore didn't talk about this any more, but changed the subject and said, "I will destroy the locket as soon as possible. Counting it, we have already mastered the Dark Lord's six Horcruxes, and we are only short of one."

Lucius was silent for a while and said, "Are you sure there must be seven horcruxes? There won't be more? As for the known horcruxes... the snake is missing, we have to find it as soon as possible."

"Why don't you go to Albania, Lucius?" Dumbledore prompted, "Tom traveled there and hid the crown there, and there was a big battle between the Order of the Phoenix and the Death Eaters. Maybe He is lurking in Albania, waiting for his loyal servants to rescue him. Go there and have a look, and you will probably gain something.” Loughton, he suggested, “Maybe you can take Regulus with you as well. That child's intelligence should be able to help you." Dumbledore waved his wand, looked at the time, and said softly, "I have to leave. As for your question about the number of Horcruxes, I will confirm as soon as possible."

The conversation ends here.

Lucius hurriedly left the Wizengamot and returned to Malfoy Manor.

It was no accident that he saw Vanessa here.

She was holding Senajiu and was about to leave. Xiaolong was in Narcissa's arms, reaching out to Senajiu, crying and not wanting her to go.

"You came back just in time." Narcissa said helplessly, "Take Xiaolong back, Lucius, he's so noisy, he's been crying."

Lucius stood there without moving, glanced at Vanessa and said, "Maybe he just doesn't want Senagio to leave."

Of course Narcissa knew, she looked at Vanessa with some embarrassment, muttered "Son and father are the same", and gave Draco directly to Lucius.

Lucius frowned and hugged his son, glanced at him with cold gray-blue eyes, and Draco's crying stopped abruptly.

Narcissa breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Vanessa and said, "Are you really going to leave so soon? You can stay here for a while, you need to take a good rest, your condition is very bad."

Vanessa was indeed in poor condition. She had lost a lot of weight and was mentally fragile, but she still said seriously: "Don't worry, I can take care of myself." She stroked her daughter's face and whispered, "I still have Senna needs to be taken care of for a long time, and nothing will happen."

Narcissa frowned slightly, sighed inwardly, and quickly glanced at Lucius, signaling him to leave first.

Lucius is very disgusted that his wife has such a good relationship with the woman he loves, and he has almost no right to stay in every conversation.

He frowned at the two of them for a moment, and finally left with the trembling Draco in his arms.

After Lucius left, Narcissa pondered for a moment and said, "Now I'm afraid I'm going to ask you the question you didn't answer last time."

Of course Vanessa knew what she wanted, she said directly: "I can answer you too."

"Then what's your answer?" Narcissa looked at her intently.

Vanessa hugged her daughter tightly, straightened her back and said, "I will start over."

Narcissa was startled and looked at her in surprise. Although she was probably prepared, she was still a little shocked when Vanessa really made a completely different decision from before the trial.

"If you also saw how he looked when he participated in the trial, I'm afraid you will make the same choice as me." Vanessa said lightly, "Some things cannot be changed, so you can only accept it. Senagiu's father can do it right. This family is abandoned, but I can't do it. I will take good care of my daughter and let her grow up healthy and happy. As for her father..." She lowered her eyes slightly, "I will not give up proving his Innocent, I will keep working hard, but the day he leaves Azkaban is also the day I divorce him."

Narcissa looked at Vanessa in shock.

To tell the truth, she had never seen a girl like her in her life.

She is obviously still so young, only in her twenties, but at every stage, her choices are so surprising and respectful.

Vanessa soon left Malfoy Manor.

Narcissa stood there, not moving for a long time.

When Lucius went downstairs again, he saw his wife standing there alone, lost in thought.

"She's gone." Lucius walked up to her, whispering nonsense.

Narcissa nodded slightly, turned around to look at her husband for a while, and suddenly said, "What about you?"

Lucius frowned and looked at her suspiciously, not understanding her incoherent question.

Narcissa quickly added: "Nissa said she was going to start over, I was thinking about it just now, what about you? Have you ever thought about starting over?"

Lucius was silent and did not speak, standing there like an ice sculpture.

Narcissa herself said: "I have thought about it. Just now."

Lucius looked at her in disbelief, and Narcissa said, "I want to start over, Lucius." She frowned and said, "I suddenly realized that my life has been too drifting. I do I have done everything that other people wished for and I thought I should do, but I have never really lived for myself even once.”

After listening quietly, Lucius said slowly, "You can speak directly if you have something to say, Sissy. I probably don't have enough time to play charades with you here."

Narcissa smiled and said with a pale face: "Hunter was arrested and imprisoned in Azkaban, you know about this."

Of course Lucius knew.

The Ministry of Magic was liquidating the Death Eaters, and old Barty Crouch was like a lunatic, wanting to eat someone alive when he saw the Dark Mark on his arm, but he didn't know...his own son was one of the Death Eaters.

"Hunter has been against me before." Lucius said indifferently, "I know the relationship between him and you, and I can understand the anger in his heart. I have shown him several times, but he refused to talk to me. Cooperate. Even ignore all my kind reminders.”

No one can accept the help of his rival in love, and Hunter Rozier is no exception, even if he knows that the relationship between Lucius and Narcissa is not like an ordinary couple.

Lucius stared at his wife for a long time before speaking again: "You want me to help him get away with it? I have to say, it's really hard. He was against me everywhere when he followed the Dark Lord, In order to win the trust of the Dark Lord, he acted in an extremely high-profile manner. Now that the Dark Lord has fallen, his arrest is something that everyone can think of. It would be strange not to arrest him. It is not easy to help him get rid of the crime."

Narcissa clenched her hand hanging by her side, and said in a low voice, "You don't need to deal with this, Lucius."

Lucius made a "ask for advice" look.

"I can solve it myself. What I need is..." Narcissa raised her head, stared at her husband and said, "I need you to take him in for a while after he is rescued from Azkaban." She pursed her lips and said, "The survivors of Rozier's family have been imprisoned in Azkaban, Rozier's manor has been seized by the Ministry of Magic, and their property has been sealed by Gringotts. He is already homeless."

Letting his wife's lover live in the house is absolutely impossible for other men to bear.

But Lucius said without hesitation: "Of course it's okay." He said very openly and generously, "Not just living here temporarily, he can live here forever, as long as he knows what to say and what not to say .what to do and what not to do."

After Lucius finished speaking, he nodded to Narcissa and left Malfoy Manor immediately.

Narcissa frowned and let out a sigh of relief. She thought, this decision should be regarded as the beginning of her life.

Lucius wasn't really going anywhere.

He seemed eager to attend to business, or address Albania as Dumbledore had mentioned.

But his real destination at the moment was Godric's Hollow.

He appeared outside a two-story house not far from Potter House.

Apparated to this place, Lucius directly used the Disappearance Charm on himself, Godric's Hollow is mourning the death of the Potters, and they even built a statue in their honor.As a former "Death Eater", Lucius came to this place, the birthplace of the founder of Gryffindor, of course, it can't be fancied.

He approached the familiar yet unfamiliar house, hesitated for a moment at the door, and finally walked in without being aboveboard.

He cast a spell, went around the back of the house, looked in through the window, and watched Vanessa, who had gone home.

She didn't change clothes.

Sitting in the living room with the cradle beside her, she rocked the cradle gently and hummed a lullaby for the daughter in the cradle.

At this distance, there is still a window, so he can't actually hear anything.

He could only see her lips moving.

But even so, he seemed to be able to feel her melodious, soft tone, humming like a whisper.

Lucius thought of Vanessa's decision mentioned by Narcissa, and his cold blood, which had been silent for many years, boiled again at this moment.

She said she would start over.

Does that mean his chance has finally come.

After all the years he had waited, he thought he was numb, or not expecting it.

But when the opportunity really came, he discovered that what supported him for so long was this firm feeling that even he himself could not clearly understand.

He thought of Narcissa's question again.

Does he want to start over?

The answer is no need to think.

The author has something to say: Sirius did not explain not only because he felt that he had killed James and Lily, but also killed a dozen Muggles... It was also for the sake of not implicating his wife and daughter, so that they could live with each other. Like myself, everyone shouted and beat me.

He feels that it is enough for him to go to jail alone. There is no way to prove his innocence in this scene. It will only be more disgusting to refute the court so weakly, and it may make him stand in court. The wife here is also implicated, and everyone will think that she knows, and neither of the two couples is innocent, and in the end, their daughter may not be able to hold her head up...

He thought it was for the good of their mother and daughter, but such behavior just hurt them.

From the very beginning when he chose to bear this matter alone and didn't tell his wife anything, he was already wrong, and there was no way to recover it. He wasn't entirely wrong for today's result, but he was certainly not innocent either.And in the original novel, when he was imprisoned, it wasn’t that he had nothing to worry about. Harry was so young. As his godson, he only escaped from prison when he saw Peter’s Animagus appearing in the newspaper in the third grade >_<

But he will not be imprisoned in the third grade of Zidai, he will be imprisoned for about a year, and then he will be able to come out. I bury the foreshadowing when he is about to enter the fourth grade in the summer vacation of the third grade. Vanessa knows them Animagus's (and Regulus will not watch his brother locked in it), as for how to arrange it, let us solve the mystery in the next two chapters

By the way, whisper BB, I don’t dare to read your comments in the last few chapters. If you feel that my understanding is wrong, and the writing power does not describe the feeling I want to express, you must lighten it and take pity on the IQ TAT of the stupid author who generates electricity for love. In the next book, I must write in a more relaxed style!Open happy student Gryffin's comfortable life~~!
