Chapter 59: Betrayal

Lucius brings the trance-stricken Cynthia and Regulus back to Malfoy Manor.

"Luke, Thea and Rael, what's going on?" Narcissa looked at her husband in confusion as she saw the two with tears on their faces.

"Sicy, Mr. Black is dead, and Mrs. Black has been captured by the Aurors." Lucius glanced at the brother and sister and lowered his voice.

"What do you say?! Uncle O'Lane, dead??! Aunt Wall...... Narcissa looked incredulous. "Are you lying to me, Luke, how is this?"

"Sicy, you know, I won't lie to you......" Lucius hugged Narcissa, whose body suddenly went limp.

"Rael, you are now the patriarch of the Black family, you have to cheer up." Lucius looked at Regulus and snapped.

“…… I know, I will...... Thea, let's go home! Regulus was stunned for a moment, wiped away his tears, and stood up.

He grabbed Cynthia's hand, "Thank you for today, Luke, let's go back first." ”

After that, he returned to Black's old house in Grimmauld Place through the fireplace.

“…… Thea. Regulus called softly.

“…… I'll kill him with my own hands...... Brother, I will avenge my father. Cynthia looked up, her scarlet eyes terrifying.

"Kreacher!" Cynthia summoned the house-elves.

"Miss Cynthia!" The elf instantly appeared in front of the two.

"Do you remember what that box looked like? Just draw it! Cynthia pulled out a pen and paper.

Kreacher remembers! Kreacher: Draw it for Miss Cynthia! Kreacher picked up a pen and paper and drew carefully.

A delicate locket appears on the paper, with an octagonal outline with mysterious runes and an "S" like a snake.

"Miss Cynthia, this box is brass-colored, and the S is set with emeralds." Kreacher put down the pen and paper.

"Very well, you go down." Cynthia nodded.

"Rael, I will no longer pledge allegiance to him. I'm going to destroy his Horcruxes, and I won't allow anyone, say that to my parents! Cynthia clenched her hands, her tone full of resentment.

"Tomorrow, I'm going to customize a locket of this, and then we'll plan it." Cynthia looked at Regulus.

"Okay, I'll be with you." Regulus grabbed Cynthia's cold hand and gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"No, tomorrow...... You're going to have to watch and deal with some of the family's affairs...... I'll just go alone. Cynthia softened her tone.

The next day, the Daily Prophet published news of O'Ryon Black's death and Walburga's arrest. The trial of Walburga Black will begin in a week.

Cynthia and Regulus sat in silence in the dining room of Notta, looking at the huge portrait of their father on the table.

"Father......" Cynthia couldn't help but cry as she looked at her kind father in the portrait.

"Thea, good, don't cry. You have to learn to be strong, and you have to know that Wall and I can't be by your side forever. Now you have to be strong, your father can't protect you. Mr. Black looked at his children in front of him and couldn't help but redden.

"Father, I'll take care of Thea's ......," Regulus said firmly, holding back his tears.

"Okay, hang me on the wall, it's not like I can't see it, don't cry!" Mr. Black nodded and commanded.

After breakfast, a figure suddenly appeared in the foyer.

"Who's where?!" Cynthia raised her wand warily, pointing at the figure.

"Hey, Thea, it's me, Siris." The figure raised his hands and made clear of his identity.

"West, Siris?" Cynthia walked over slowly, and saw Siris looking at her innocently.

"I saw today's Daily Prophet." Siris saw Cynthia put down her wand and spoke quickly.

“…… Coming back? Cynthia was silent for a long time before she suddenly spoke.

"What, what?" Siris was a little surprised.

"Do you want to move back?" Cynthia looked up and looked Siris in the eye, "I think Rael needs your help. ”

"But......" Cialis hesitated.

"Delisted? It doesn't matter anymore...... The important thing is that we can be together as a family, isn't it? Cynthia's expression was tinged with sadness.

"Brother, come back. Thea and I need you. Regulus walked slowly, and he held out his hand to Siris.

"We both need you." Cynthia also held out her hand and looked at Siris expectantly.

Cyris looked at his brother and sister, reached out and grabbed their hands. "I'll move back with Amina tomorrow."

Hearing Cialis's affirmative answer, both Cynthia and Regulus had smiles on their faces.

"Then now you help Rael deal with the family's affairs first, I have something to go out." Cynthia unceremoniously finished her order and stepped out of the house.

The next day, Siris quietly moved into Grimmauld Place with his wife, Amina Black.

When Mr. Black saw it, he only opened his mouth, and finally just said, "Siris, welcome back." ”

After the holidays, Cynthia and Regulus returned to Hogwarts.

Unlike in the past, whether it was Slytherin or the students of other houses, they would whisper when they saw the two of them.

They understand that this is because of the death of their father and the arrest of their mother.

Soon after, news came that Walburga Black had been imprisoned in Azkaban for his association with the Death Eaters.

Looking at the emaciated woman in the newspaper, Cynthia didn't hold back her tears.

"It turned out to be a lackey of a mysterious person, my parents are, do you think they will be the same?" A Gryffindor looked at him with contempt.

“…… Gryffindor, disrespectful to the president of the student council, deducted ten points. Cynthia glanced at it and said lightly.

"You! You are abusing your power! The Gryffindor was furious and yelled at Cynthia.

"Gryffindor, ten more points." Cynthia stood up, walked up to the boy, tapped his chest with her wand, and turned to leave the hall.

Thea ...... Are you alright......" Elsa asked worriedly, looking at Cynthia, who was sitting at the table.

"I'm fine, Al, don't worry." Cynthia turned her head and pulled out an ugly smile.

The next day, a strange owl landed in front of Cynthia with a letter in its mouth.

Strangely she took the letter, fed the owl a piece of beef, and let it go.

Back in her bedroom, she opened the letter.

Inside was an invitation to attend the wedding of James Potter and Lily Evans on March 27. Signed by Lily Evans, she thanked Cynthia for saving her life and invited her to the wedding.
