After Ryan and the others followed Mrs. Greengrass to the living room and sat down, a Mr. Skillful Man floated out from the side and poured a cup of black tea for each of the three people. After picking up the tea cup and taking a sip, the whole living room fell into a commotion.
There was an awkward silence. Finally, Mrs. Greengrass broke the awkwardness.
"What's the matter with you coming to my place as soon as you come back today?" Mrs. Greengrass said calmly. "If it's about our contract, I want to say that my husband was indeed killed, but I assure you.
As long as one person in our family is alive, the contract signed between us will continue to be fulfilled."
"No, that's not it." Hermione looked a little confused, but finally said. "After all, Mr. Greengrass was killed because of us, so we feel-"
"Is this pity?" Mrs. Greengrass interrupted Hermione. "You are much kinder than I thought. I know that if I admit what you said now, I can gain a lot of benefits. This is indeed very attractive.
People. But what I need to tell you is that although my husband’s death has something to do with you, it is actually doomed."
"Destined, why is this?" Ryan frowned after hearing Mrs. Greengrass's words. Because in his opinion, it was obvious that Voldemort had chosen some way to infringe on the interests of the Greengrass family.
Afterwards, Mr. Greengrass contacted him in order to resist. However, he failed in his efforts and was found out at the last moment because of his lack of confidentiality, which led to a series of subsequent events.
But now Mrs. Greengrass's words seemed to be saying that the whole thing was planned by Voldemort from the beginning, which aroused Ryan's curiosity. He wanted to know what happened behind it. Hermione at this time
"This is what happened -" Seeing Ryan and Hermione staring at her curiously, Mrs. Greengrass slowly told everything that happened that day.
After the original operation was planned, Voldemort sent several wizards hired from foreign countries to station at the Greengrass house. The reason was that in order to keep the operation secret, Mr. Greengrass naturally had no reason to turn these people away. These people stationed themselves at the house.
After that, the manor did not live in the rooms in the manor, but wandered around the entire manor every day, and every three to five days these people would change shifts with new wizards.
"These should be the three people we killed at the beginning." Hermione said to Ryan using the Phoenix Brand. "It seems that those people did not know the full plan of the mysterious man, or that the mysterious man used their deaths to determine our
I was fooled."
"You are right." Ryan replied through the same method. "A very simple method. As long as these people do not respond within the specified time, the mysterious man will know that we have gone there. For the mysterious man,
For a dark wizard, it is very worthwhile to be able to use one's life to control something important."
Mrs. Greengrass was unaware of the secret exchange between Ryan and Hermione. After telling the previous events, she began to describe what happened in the manor on the day of the incident.
Because that night was the time when Mr. Greengrass was performing his mission, the Greengrass family had lunch early and sat in the living room to rest. However, at two or three o'clock in the afternoon, someone suddenly came to visit at the door.
"It was two o'clock in the afternoon, and we found that the Parkinson family suddenly came to visit us. Although we thought it was a little strange at the time, as family friends, we still welcomed them in."
At this point, Mrs. Greengrass suddenly became emotional. "Because of the relationship between the two families, we welcomed them into the living room as usual, and then asked the house elves to serve them tea. What we didn't expect was
, Bellatrix, disguised as Pansy Parkinson, directly killed my husband with a killing curse. Our house elf Carrie originally wanted to stop her, but she was also killed by another killing curse from him.
Kill."
"This is simply too terrible." Hermione sighed. She felt that it was too bad to kill their father in front of an underage child. Fortunately, they had never encountered this in previous battles.
Have encountered such problems.
"Yeah, it's really bad." Although Mrs. Greengrass was trying her best to maintain her emotions, Ryan and the others found that her eye circles were red, and she was holding her head high trying to stop the tears from flowing.
After a few minutes passed, Hermione wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with the handkerchief handed over by Hermione. Mrs. Greengrass finally controlled her emotions. She said in a resentful tone: "I really didn't expect that as a
The Parkinson family, which has had a century-old friendship, actually provided cover for Bellatrix at this time, allowing that mad woman to kill my husband."
"Does that mean the Parkinsons at that time were all true?" Ryan finally understood why Mrs. Greengrass was so angry. You must know that traitors will always be more hateful than enemies, and Mr. Greengrass was killed entirely because of the traitor.
of.
With the magical defense of this ancient pure-blood family manor, even if Voldemort himself came in person, it would take about seven or eight minutes to rush in. This time would be enough for them to sound the alarm and call for reinforcements or escape through a secret passage.
"Yes, it was Mr. and Mrs. Parkinson who knocked us out with the coma spell later." Mrs. Greengrass suppressed the anger in her heart and said. "Later, when my daughters and I were put in that tent, we found out that this
This time everything about us fell into the Dark Lord's plan."
"Is this someone deceiving you?" Hermione asked. "It's to create some kind of illusion to mislead others. For example, they hope to convey some wrong information to us through you to mislead me."
"No, absolutely impossible. This is what Bella told us at the time. She seemed to think this was a great opportunity to promote the Dark Lord's wisdom. It is absolutely impossible for Bella to lie in this regard." Mrs. Greengrass was categorical.
"And the news she told just confirmed some things that I had never thought clearly before."
Hearing this, Ryan immediately made a gesture to please continue. Mrs. Griglas paused and then said: "She first boasted about the Dark Lord's trust in her, and then said that it was possible that the Dark Lord had always felt that our position was not firm.
He is a traitor, so he specifically used this incident to test us this time. In the end, we became traitors just as the Dark Lord expected."
"Why does the mysterious man think you are unreliable and even wants to test you?" Ryan asked.
"That's because there are many people around us who have completely become slaves of the Dark Lord," Mrs. Greengrass said word by word. "Because of the Dark Lord's arrangements for my daughters' marriages and his request that we go out and kill people on the streets as much as possible."
Dead Muggle orders. As we want to protect the integrity of the family, we are opposed to this approach, and the complaints within these pure-blood families soon spread to the Dark Lord."
"Under the targeted investigation of the Dark Lord, I think my husband was actually exposed when he sent the first letter to you in Hogsmeade." Mrs. Greengrass concluded, and then she looked at
Ryan and the others said seriously. "But I can swear that my daughters and I will not blame you two at any time."
"Why is this?" Ryan frowned and asked in confusion. "Although the mysterious man set a trap here, strictly speaking, Mr. Greengrass's death does have a lot to do with us. It's hard for me.
I understand why you have almost no resentment towards us. To be honest, I can understand whether you are holding back or yelling at us at this time, but I can feel that you really don’t have that kind of hatred."
"That's because this is one of the best scenarios we expected in advance." Mrs. Greengrass gave an unexpected answer.
