[HP] Once Upon a Time in England

Long time no see, Hyacinth.

Edgar greeted her mentally by the old name.She was sitting on the chair before, the chains were hanging on the ground, not restraining her, but her face was pale with determination.

"You look more haggard than before." Edgar asked casually, "Isn't it good to live in Grimmauld Place?"

Sirius was flustered. On the one hand, he was worried that Edgar would see through the secrets. On the other hand, he was sensitive to her strangeness—she asked him this morning how many years the Death Eaters who were arrested in the past were generally sentenced to imprisonment , her tone was calm, as if nothing happened the night before.But she asked strange questions, and before leaving she asked him if she could say goodbye to Harry.

It's like saying goodbye.

Sirius watched her enter Harry's room and kiss the child's forehead.For some reason, his heart sank suddenly.

"Edgar," Mrs. Parkinson smiled faintly, "you are also a little older than before."

"After all, time is ruthless, and I'm just an ordinary person." Edgar's gaze met Sirius inadvertently. He was distracted, and his fingers were anxiously scratching the tabletop. "What do you want to tell me?"

"More than four years ago, a Ministry of Magic employee named Broderick Bird disappeared." She said in a narrative tone, "You have not found him."

"Yes." Bode was still missing, but the Ministry of Magic had tacitly accepted that he was dead, like countless others who had never returned.

She seemed to sigh silently, and her shoulders slowly sank: "I killed him. I also killed Raphael Rolland, the deputy minister of the French Ministry of Magic who disappeared two years ago."

Following Morgara Parkinson's guilty plea, the case was swiftly referred to the Law Enforcement Division, where Auror Command had no further authority to interfere.Edgar and Sirius, who nominally worked for the Order of the Phoenix instead of the Ministry of Magic, had no right to ask about the details afterwards.

Handling the case was Barty Crouch Jr.Although Batty Sr. took the blame and resigned, many people still admire his iron-fisted style. Therefore, Batty Jr.'s official career was not affected by his father's disappointment.

Batty Jr.'s style was equally vigorous, and the news kept reaching Edgar's ears.The case was said to be going well, and the legal department re-interrogated the man arrested at the Rozier estate that night, and then pieced together nearly ten crimes.Mojara didn't dispute the accusation, nodding her head when she said she was guilty.In the end, he signed and pleaded guilty very happily, so the truth came out and a big case was settled.

An instruction manual recording the details of the case was sent to Edgar.He read it through, cursed in his heart, then called Sirius to his office, and patted the instruction manual in front of him: "Look for yourself."

Morgara insisted that she did not know the details of the Source of Life project and the location of White Castle, but she admitted that she assisted the Death Eaters in matters including smuggling, kidnapping, false imprisonment/imprisonment, extortion, smuggling, etc., plus her The two murders and the short-lived ghost who was killed by the necklace will inevitably be severely punished.

"If she did all these things, she wouldn't be caught by us." Edgar said the truth, "Her identity is vague, and the opal necklace has a strange origin. I thought Little Barty would use this as an excuse." Cut to the point of finding out the secret behind this in one fell swoop, I didn't expect him to decide to close the case so quickly."

Reflecting on the details of the period from her arrest to her confession, Edgar is convinced it wasn't that simple.She hesitated and hesitated to speak for so long, but suddenly changed her attitude, as if she wanted to die quickly.This is very abnormal.

"Sires, tell me the truth," he motioned the other party to sit down, "is there something between you two that you didn't tell me?"

Sirius' torment came from within.He has ghosts in his heart, and he has trouble sleeping and eating.That night was a turning point in her attitude. He was full of doubts, but Barty Jr. rejected his request to see her.In addition, Harry seemed to guess something from his forced smile, and kept asking her whereabouts.When he was in the Ministry of Magic, he couldn't help thinking about where she was and what she was thinking; when he returned home, he couldn't give an answer to Harry who was pestering her endlessly.

After all, the fault seemed to be entirely his.

"Nothing." In the end he lied to Edgar, "It's just...she seems to like Harry very much, and Harry likes her very much."

A day later, Sirius received the news at home.Barty Jr. instructs Mojara Parkinson's punishment: Dementor's Kiss.After that, she still had to stay in Azkaban, and couldn't leave even after she died.

He was tidying up the bedroom where she used to live.She only stayed here for more than a week, but she inadvertently left a lot of traces that belonged to her.For example, a few robes in the wardrobe, toiletries in the bathroom, a comb and a few strands of hair tangled in the comb.

He carefully removed them and arranged them into small bundles, and seeing the messy bed again, his heart trembled, and he suddenly remembered whether they had slept in each other's embrace in the night before.And when she woke up, what was she thinking?

What made her make up her mind?is it him?Did she feel insulted and belittled?

"Siris," Harry pushed open the door cautiously, walked in a few steps, then stopped again with tears in his eyes, "isn't she coming back?"

He suddenly found that there were also wet marks on his cheeks.

The author has something to say:

Barty Crouch Jr.: 24 years old.Old Crouch's son, Chief of Law Enforcement, an undisclosed Death Eater (without the Dark Mark), actually loyal to Rozier rather than the Dark Lord.
