[HP] Once Upon a Time in England

Chapter 48 The Scorched Earth City

"I won't choose." Wesson's face showed childlike stubbornness and fear for the first time, "I will never become someone like you."

"A person like me? It's a person like me who taught you everything!" Cornelia warned sharply, "Your so-called little tricks all come from my guidance. I shaped you. Without me, what are you doing?" Neither!"

"Thank you for teaching me, but I don't need you to teach me how to be a human being." Wesson looked straight at Cornelia heroically, and he didn't pick up the sword on the ground, "Do it."

Hyacinth's hand was on Wesson's shoulder, and she could feel him trembling—in any case, it was impossible for a seven-year-old child not to be afraid of death.

"You have a good son, he loves you very much." Cornelia sneered, "Then will you have the heart to watch him die?"

The former friends stared at each other silently for a moment, and both saw the last friendship burnt out.As early as the beginning of their meeting, the seeds of disintegration had already been planted, and the subsequent disputes, breakups, condescension, and flattery were just destined.

"Of course I can't bear it." However, Rozier is simply unbelievable. Even if she committed suicide in front of Wesson as she wished, Rozier would still take Weson away—or continue to be her so-called heir, Or be regarded as her last armor when facing the Order of the Phoenix.

Hyacinth silently calculated how likely she was to be able to bend down to pick up the wand that fell on the ground before Rozier chanted the spell, and at the same time she had to push Wesson away from the center of the battle.She has never received professional combat training, and she didn't listen to the charm class when she was studying at Hogwarts, but she knows the core essentials of the Unforgivable Curse—first of all, you have to be ruthless.

"Don't try to be tricky, dear. Arvada—"

"Passed out!"

A red light appeared across the sky and knocked Cornelia to the ground. Hyacinth looked at the new person in astonishment, wondering why he appeared here for a while: "Regulus?"

"It's a long story. I need your help, Hyacinth." Regulus threw the abandoned Portkey aside. I was supposed to meet Aurora here, but it took me a while Avoid the melee crowds in the garden. "

Obviously he is Aurora's ally.Hyacinth was a little annoyed that Aurora chose Regulus instead of her, but now was not the time to worry about it: "What are you going to do?"

"Come in and talk." Regulus flicked his wand lightly, and the unconscious Cornelia and Batty Jr. were tightly bound by two ropes respectively.

She glanced back, and there was no sign of Sirius downstairs.The Fiendfire burning in the south tower seemed to be contained, but it was too late, and half of White Castle was gradually destroyed in the flames.Wesson seemed to be confused by the new person in front of him. Hyacinth squeezed his little hand, signaling him to stay on the balcony, and followed Regulus into the room.

"I will leave Cornelia to the Order of the Phoenix, but I will take little Barty away temporarily." Regulus spoke quickly, "I need him as a witness, so that the Dark Lord will trust Rozzie I really want to overthrow him. Can you give this letter to the Order? Tell them to pass it on to Dumbledore."

She opened her eyes wide: "You want to be a double agent?"

"I'm not a double agent, I won't work for the Dark Lord anymore." Regulus smiled wryly, his eyes a little sad, "I just want him to disappear, after all Olivia—forget it, these words are repeated It's no use talking about it. The letter is spelled and burns after reading it, so you have to make sure Dumbledore is the one who read it."

"I will. Sirius can help with that."

"you--"

"He's the father of my child, that's all."

"Time is the most ruthless thing." Regulus was silent for a moment, then sighed, "Don't make another mistake, okay?"

"How are you going to get out of here?" She changed the subject.

"I prepared a compound potion in advance, as long as I can get out of White Castle, I can apparate." Regulus dragged Barty up and put it on his shoulders, "It doesn't matter if they find out my identity, But this guy is tricky, so I have to sneak away while they're still fighting. You'd better go too, you won't last long here."

He was telling the truth, and sand and stones had begun to rustle from the ceiling.Maybe before long the whole castle will collapse.

"Wesson." Hyacinth watched Regulus leave first, and then called her son out. He handed Cornelia and her wand together:

"Are we going down?"

"Yes. Take that sword, just in case." Judging from what Regulus said, there seemed to be no Death Eaters in the castle.But after the thrilling scene just now, Hyacinth felt that it was best to be cautious.

It turned out that they came out in good time - although the fire did not spread further, White Castle was crumbling.They had barely stepped up the stairs when a chandelier in the corridor behind them slammed to the ground.

There was no one in sight, neither Death Eaters, Order of the Phoenix, Regulus, or Barty Jr.Hyacinth used Cornelia's wand to control her to float forward, and used her own wand to alert the surrounding situation, while Wesson followed closely behind her.

"Watch out ahead!" he cried.Hyacinth was taken aback: the stairs broke off at some point, leaving only a small section at the edge that could barely pass people.

"You go first." She quickly made a decision, "It's okay, even if you fall, you will just fall to the stairs on the second floor, and you won't die."

"This is no consolation!" Weisen protested loudly.

Fortunately, he passed safely.Then there was Cornelia, who was fluttering, and finally Hyacinth leaned close to the railing, and carefully stepped on the "steps" that were only one palm wide.

"mom!"

Accompanied by Wesen's shrill scream came a great force, an arm tightly strangled her neck, Hyacinth fell to the side unexpectedly, and Wesen's terrified expression flashed before her eyes In the next second, her eye sockets were filled with tears due to the severe pain.

"I found you!" Before she could react, those hands pinched her up, "Kill you, kill you, I will be you."

"Let me go!" With tears in her eyes, she recognized who was pinching her - Pansy's biological mother.

"Give me the title of Mrs. Parkinson, okay?" The woman was probably insane, she was crying and laughing, with strange strength in her hands, "Why didn't you get burned to death? Crouch said you would dead!"

Hyacinth was already out of breath, she raised her hand to pick at the opponent's eyes, but the woman seemed to feel no pain, and even increased her strength.She reached out to the ground for her wand, but...

"Use this, Mom!" A dazzling silver light flashed, and Wesson drew out the dagger and threw it at her through the hole in the stairwell.

It happened very quickly——the sword fell into her hand, Hyacinth grabbed it, and then slashed at the woman's neck with her backhand, the smelly and warm blood sprayed on her face and at the same time strangled her neck The hands suddenly loosened, the woman fell to the ground, struggling and panting, Hyacinth sat up slowly, not yet fully awake.

There were hurried footsteps coming down the stairs, she wiped her face with her sleeve, and instinctively reached out to touch the wand that fell somewhere.Before she got the wand, she suddenly fell into an embrace:

"Are you hurt? Are you okay? Are you okay?"

"That's not my blood." She clutched Sirius' clothes tightly and asked dully, "Is she... dead?"

Sirius hugged her even tighter: "Sorry, I'm late."

"I'll never know who she is." Hyacinth thought, she had only seen that woman a few times, it was hard to imagine what made her fall in love with Edmund, who did not seem to her Someone worthy of anyone's love, and this kind of hopeless love even drove her crazy, making her easily turned against by little Barty... "Wesson! Wesson and Cornelia—"

"Rozier is here!" Someone had already found them first, and she heard a woman asking if Wesson was injured.Sirius has already hugged her horizontally:

"Come on, we're getting out of here."

"Wait a minute," she suddenly thought of another person, "Pansy—"

"Marlene didn't stop her, but she saved Pansy. They should still be in the garden."

White Castle, which hides countless sins and darkness, was defeated in the face of raging flames and several fierce battles.The white ground was blackened, the chandeliers were scattered all over the place, and the decorations like tapestries and vases were either destroyed or disappeared without a trace. The whole castle was trembling and collapsing.The dark empire that Rozier painstakingly built turned into dust before it even appeared, and the cause of all this turned out to be Little Barty's jealousy.

Hyacinth closed her eyes, and secretly touched Regulus' secret letter in her pocket.It was hard to imagine that this was going to end... The Dark Lord was still there, but Rozier, who had terrified her, was really about to be brought to justice.

The cold air hit their faces, and they escaped in time.The fire in the garden has been completely extinguished, leaving only a mess.

"Mom." As soon as she was put down by Sirius, Wesson ran to her side. This time he didn't say anything, he stretched out his arms and hugged her waist, and buried his head in her clothes.

"I'm fine." She rubbed Wei Sen's hair, and began to worry belatedly whether he saw the scene of her murder.

"Mojiala!" Another small figure ran into her arms quickly, "Did you see my mother?"

Hyacinth was speechless suddenly: "She..."

"She killed your mother, just look at the blood on her face. And, don't you understand, Pansy? Your mother was just a substitute in your father's eyes. She was honored to be the substitute The only reason why you don't want to buy is that she bears a certain physical resemblance to the person in front of you. So your father loves neither your mother nor you, because he is more likely to have children with the woman he wants. As for your mother... …Unfortunately, I guess her body will have to disappear with my castle."

"you--"

"Is what she said true?" Pansy may not have understood much, but her imagination can fill in the part that she did not understand. She took a step back and looked at Hyacinth with a strange look. "You killed my mother?"

Hyacinth did not speak.

"She wanted to kill my mother first!" Weisen corrected sharply.

"Take her away," Sirius whispered, and Alice stepped forward to hold Pansy, but she shook her hand away, stared at Hyacinth and screamed, "I hate you !"

"Come on, child." Alice took her away forcefully.Wesson grabbed Hyacinth's hand and shook it slightly, with a pleading look in his eyes.

"It's such a beautiful scene of a family reunion." Cornelia also slowly sat up on the grass, Edgar and Frank pointed at her with their wands, "Hyase, your dream has finally come true. Although it's too late It's been years, but your hero finally came to your rescue."

"And you will get the punishment you deserve in Azkaban."

"Really?" Cornelia unhurriedly stretched out her hand to straighten her messy hair. She didn't seem to be pretending to be calm but was really calm. "So you have nothing to ask me?"

She did have, for example, the identity of Pansy's biological mother, her relationship with Barty Jr., the things that Rozier mentioned before Vera's death... Hyacinth opened her mouth, and finally decided to keep silent.

"Don't want to know anything?" Cornelia showed a weird smile, "Do you still remember that kiss between us?"

Hyacinth felt a wave of shame, disgust, and extreme nausea.

"I'm just curious about what it would be like to make Parkinson and Blake fall in love with a woman at the same time. Don't worry, I don't love you." There was vague confusion and nostalgia in her eyes, "Of course, I Also a normal person. A long time ago, I liked someone briefly...it’s useless to say it now.” She put on that cynical, detached mask again, “You’re going to send me to Az Caban, right? Let me spend the rest of my life behind the iron wall? Before that, I have to stand in the courtroom and suffer the humiliation of being cross-examined?"

"That's what you deserve."

"Oh, is it?" She smiled haughtily, "But that's not going to be the end for me."

Edgar frowned slightly and exchanged glances with Frank, at the same time Cornelia suddenly jumped up and ran towards the edge of the garden.

"Passed out!"

Missed.

"Stop her!" Hyacinth suddenly guessed what Cornelia wanted to do when she saw the dementors hovering around the border of the garden and the patron saints a little closer.

"Don't go—" But all Sirius caught was a gust of wind.

"That's the last thing I want to do," White Castle was slowly falling apart, Cornelia looked back to see it fall, eyes with flames, she rushed loudly as she ran and cast spells Edgar and Frank shouted, "Bury all the secrets, and let you take those mysteries to find the answers!" She turned her eyes to Hyacinth, who was a little closer to her, her lips moved, and finally only spit out A few words, "We were never friends."

"stop!"

But Cornelia has relentlessly crossed the boundaries protected by the Patronus.As soon as the dementors smelled the breath of the living, they gathered around.

She opened her arms as if to hug them.

The author has something to say:

So far the first part is over.

Someone accidentally deleted all the files in my USB flash drive yesterday, and the archives of this article cannot be repaired because the files are seriously damaged, so I decided to simply adopt a new follow-up that I just came up with two days ago... Hehehe
