HP Dawn Night

The failure of poisoning last time has almost exposed my identity, so I had to take the risk and join forces with Potter-passing the blame on Bellatrix may be the only way to get me out of the predicament.But that doesn't address my real concerns: my mom is still in the hands of the Dark Lord, and Millicent Burst is still alive.

But Draco brought me a treasure.

"See you at the Room of Requirement at midnight today."

This note was stuffed into my hand by him calmly.I read it silently and threw it into the fireplace.Pansy was so happy that Draco and I got back together that she didn't even notice these small gestures.This is where Draco and I feel guilty: We had to hide from Pansy and Blaise until we got through this crisis safely.

I walked into the Room of Requirement on a patrol at midnight, and to my surprise, it was completely transformed—clutter piled up from the floor to the ceiling, and the room was disorganized , there are strange gadgets everywhere.

"Draco!" I yelled.

"it's here."

I followed the sound and found that Draco was sitting on a low table, staring dreamily at a huge, curtained thing opposite.

"Is that the disappearing cabinet?" I have never seen this kind of cabinet that is said to be able to transport people and objects, but thinking that it will be used to transport a group of crazy Death Eaters in the near future, I can't help but shudder. Even the draperies seemed to have grown darker.

Draco got up and pulled down the curtains, and I could see the whole of the Vanishing Cabinet: it was a nine-foot-tall corner cabinet, with two mirrors and carved patterns on the door.

"It took me a semester to fix this." Draco said in a sleepy voice, staring at the disappearing cabinet, "It finally worked."

I don't want to look at the disappearing cabinet: "What else do you want to show me?"

Draco pointed to a paper bag next to him, and warned: "Don't touch it!" He took out a pair of dragon leather gloves from the pocket of his robe, and carefully opened the parchment that contained it, and there was something wrapped in silk satin inside. , he unwrapped the satin again, and the opal necklace I had seen in Borgin Burke's shop appeared before my eyes.

"It's the one from Bokin Burke!" I looked at it in amazement.

"Yes." Draco emphasized lightly, "It has already claimed the lives of nineteen people, and Bokin put a price of one thousand galleons on it."

"You don't really have a thousand Galleons, do you?"

"Of course not. Borgin knew who I was working for, so I asked him to use this necklace as the final test of the Vanishing Cabinet. Oh, and there's another Vanishing Cabinet in the store," Draco said. "I didn't know that A necklace isn't really that powerful, but maybe you need to."

"I do need it, but not against Dumbledore." I pursed my lips, "Draco, have you heard of the 'Burstrode Curse'?"

"What is that? It has something to do with Millicent Burst?" Sure enough, he didn't know either.

It took me a while to clarify that old story, and finally shook my head: "I checked all the information I could find, and it was deliberately destroyed. It seems that no one has mentioned this matter since then."

"So, you think that Millicent might hold a grudge, so you don't want to cause trouble?" Draco frowned slightly. The devil reports your every move, but it could be someone else, isn’t it? For example, Daphne—”

"I doubted Daphne at first, but she doesn't seem like a person who can hold her breath. It's even more impossible for Pansy, and then only Millicent." I emphasized, "After I signed the agreement with Porter After that, confidentiality became more important, and I couldn't leave such a big hidden danger around me."

"Have you ever thought about using Veritaserum or the Dementia Charm?"

"I used the Dementia Curse to see Millicent's past, so I began to doubt her more and more, but my Dementia Curse is not strong enough to completely control the other party. As for Veritaserum, I also need to have a hand It’s just a matter of opportunity.” I sighed, “You can’t interrogate them one by one like looking for a needle in a haystack, can you?”

Draco thought for a while: "I have an idea..."

"what?"

"We can pretend we're going to call a covert team—like Potter's one—and call in some suspects, and then you can mix Veritaserum in your tea so we can interrogate multiple people at once and Leave no trace."

"That's a good idea. So we have to call out Pencey and Blaise so there's no suspicion." I think that might be the way to go.

Draco rewrapped the necklace and handed it to me: "This necklace is still for you, maybe it will be useful."

I couldn't resist asking him a question: "So in the original plan you were planning to use it to kill me?"

Draco: "...Of course not!"

"I just don't think this kind of death is too painful, at least I got an expensive necklace at the last moment of my life—"

"Vio!" Draco couldn't bear to interrupt me, "I have another thing to tell you."

"what?"

He was silent for a moment: "Your mother left France before she was captured by the Dark Lord, do you know that?"

"No, my dad said she went north after escaping from the Death Eaters." My eyes widened.

Draco shook his head: "Then I overheard the Lestrange Brothers saying that they made a fool of themselves in France, and your mother—" he looked at my expression, "had already left France two years ago .”

"Impossible!" I almost jumped up. "She's been writing to me—although the last letter was delivered before the OWLs!"

"The Death Eater investigation turned out that she left France during the Christmas season of our fifth grade year, claiming to her business associates and friends that she was going on a long trip, but it turned out she hadn't taken the trip at all. The Death Eaters didn't know where she went, and the Lestrange brothers finally found her on the border of a small German town."

"You mean my dad lied to me? They lied to me together?" My mind went blank. "So what happened later? Did the Death Eaters torture her? Or did the Dark Lord already do it?"

"She didn't die, but I don't know the details. My mother said she was locked in the dungeon at Malfoy Manor under strict guard." Draco shook his head, "You don't have to worry too much, the Dark Lord still needs you to come Play for him, and he's still hoping to get your mom to surrender, so at least it's not looking too bad for now."

"I have to ask my dad what's going on." I gradually calmed down, and a weird idea brewed, "He started to reduce the number of times he met with me this semester, I think there should be something in it. "

"Vio! Your top priority is still to find the informer first, and then complete the agreement with Potter." Draco reminded, "You must let the Dark Lord know that you are more important than Bellatrix, so that Only then will he find you useful." Only when I am useful can he be willing not to hurt my mother.
