HP Dawn Night

Chapter 244

"Dad, tell me about Signus Burst and my mother!" I demanded.

——If I had a slight doubt at first, after consulting the newspapers in the library, I can almost confirm that what Myrtle said is true: all the newspapers were destroyed on a certain day in June 1978, except for someone deliberately I can't think of any other reason.

So when I saw fleeting tension on Dad's face, I was all the more certain.

"Who told you that?"

"I have the right to know the truth." I reiterated, "What happened between them? What happened to the curse of Birstrom?" I threw out all the questions in a series, and was suppressed without any surprise:

"You don't have to know that, Violet!" Dad cut me off sharply. "It's been years since anyone dared to talk about—"

His words aroused my rebellious heart: "Well, if you don't tell me, I will find the answer myself. Someone can tell me the whole story. At least I can easily use the Imperius Curse to get from Mi Leeson knows something." This was the first time I dared to threaten Dad, but there was an untimely joy on his face besides sullenness:

"Knowing the truth won't do you any good."

"That's not necessarily the case, unless you must see the tragedies of the father's generation continue in the children's life."

Dad's expression froze for a moment, I thought I had hit his weak spot, but he then flatly refused: "No."

I kept silent: "Then I'll find it myself."

"Sometimes knowing too much can only hurt you."

"I'd rather take a dagger myself than have someone else put a sword around my neck."

"Soul out of the body!"

I saw fragments of Millicent's fragmented memories: the dim old house, the withered roses, the strange crying sound from the attic in the dead of night, the indifference and reprimand of the grandmother.

"Why don't I have parents?" Young Millicent asked boldly.

The aged Mrs. Bulstrode was furious: "She's a————she brought bad luck into our house! Yes, she's gone, dead, and she didn't forget to steal it before she went. A box of jewels!" The grandmother cursed the woman who was dumped in the wilderness loudly, "Your father was cheated by this ****! She killed him!"

Her rant made Millicent terrified, but Mrs. Burst couldn't see tears. She didn't allow Millicent to show weakness. Tears would only bring beatings and scolding instead of comfort.

Mrs. Burst's resentment and resentment became more and more profound as time went on, and she occasionally mentioned another person in her endless curses and insults: "Ah, Merlin will always bring bad luck to her! This obscene And shameless bitch! Remember her, Millicent, remember her, her curse lingers like slime! She sent your father to jail, killed your grandfather, made Olivia It was all her trick to get confused! Oh, yes, these two women have eaten away the splendor and glory of Bulstrode!" The grandmother threw down her cane and repeated those boring curses frantically and loudly, and she wept and complained She failed to defend the dignity of the pure-blooded family, she humiliated the two women who were not there at all, and said with a smirk that one day she would let them all taste their retribution...

The scene suddenly faded away, and I saw countless fragments spinning rapidly, and then Millicent stood pale at the gate of a fence.

"Go and say good-bye to him, go!" ordered Mrs. Birdsde, pushing her hard into the cell.Millicent looked at the inhuman body on the ground in horror, and the dementors stopped at a distance. They seemed to have no interest in Millicent, because there was no joy in her body.

"Who are you... oh... Catherine, what time is it?" The man who was described as a skeleton looked at the other person over Millicon in confusion, and then he suddenly stretched out his hands like eagle claws Clutching Millicon tightly, "It's you! Are you here to take revenge on me? What kind of conditions did they give you? No matter how sorry I am to you, you should be satisfied after all these years! You have ruined everything about me—— The dying person intermittently condemned or pleaded, Millicent took a step back hastily, and Mrs. Burst wailed loudly:

"She killed you, Signus! She killed you!"

The cell of Azkaban was quickly erased, and the older Millicent stood in front of a half-closed door.

"Mom, when will my wedding dress arrive?"

"Soon."

"Is there a letter from me today?"

"No."

"Why hasn't he replied to me for so long?"

"He's busy...he's relying on him..."

A girl's crisp laughter came.But the carefree and smiling woman in the room is no longer the woman she was back then.After a while, Mrs. Bulstrode came out with a sullen face: "Have you seen it all?"

"Aunt Olivia—"

"She ruined our whole family." Mrs. Bistrode said gloomily, "but she still lives in a luxurious castle and enjoys life. When we are suffering here, she is still living in style... Merlin, you If you have eyes, let her be punished, the disaster is caused by her, and it should return to her in the end..."

Without her, Millicent would have had parents and maybe aunts, and she would have had more brothers and sisters, and more cousins.Grandma will give kisses instead of scolding, the attic will be filled with toys instead of crying, roses will not wither, and the old house will be brightly lit.

Jealousy, envy.

Millicent is like a helpless dodder, she hopes to depend on Daphne in exchange for a stable life, but the latter only enjoys the feeling of having a follower and doesn't really care about her thoughts.The weight gain in adolescence completely damaged Millicent's self-confidence. She became irritable and sensitive, and she needed to seek approval.

But who cares about the humble Millicent?

But after entering the sixth grade, Millicent accidentally possessed a secret. This secret warmed her heart like a flame. She knew things that no one else knew. God’s perspective is so good. Their every move was in her opinion. They've all become utterly stupid.

She accidentally discovered that a person was reporting the whereabouts of another person to the Dark Lord...

When that familiar face came into view, a strong tremor came - the link was broken.

"Have you seen it all?" Millicent took two steps back, but she seemed surprisingly calm.

I didn't deny that, in fact, I don't know how to face Millicent.

"I was jealous of you, Violet. I was jealous of you having things I never had." Millicent looked at me calmly, and there was no emotion in her attitude other than resignation.

I gritted my teeth: "You don't hate me—or my mother?"

"...It was my father's fault." Millison said with a blank expression, "But our family should have paid off the debt we owed, right?"

I am speechless.

"I'm not as smart as you guys, but I'm not stupid either." Millicent cast a look at me unrequitedly, "Shouldn't we settle things? Shouldn't we all have a clear conscience?"

"I—" My words stopped abruptly, the arrow has already left the string, how should the good show end now?

Millicent continued: "You underestimate a lot of people, including me, including him. You overestimate yourself."
