HP Princess bravely enters Hogwarts
Chapter 32: Helping Daphne to Take the Top
The morning light is dim, and the gentle morning breeze blows through the window lattice, awakening the sleeping dream.
"Signus, my dear, Pansy is waiting for you downstairs." Narcissa knocked on the door gently.
Cygnus responded dazedly, then she remembered something, she quickly jumped out of bed, tiptoed to her brother Draco's bed, and gently pushed him.
"Draco, get up, Pansy is waiting for us." Cygnus gently woke up her brother.
Draco rubbed his sleepy eyes and sat up reluctantly: "It's so early, I want to sleep a little longer."
Segnus smiled and helped him straighten the quilt: "Get up quickly, there are still many things to do today."
After saying that, Segnus turned and walked towards the locker room and changed into the clothes he had prepared in advance.
It was a pure, flawless white knee-length dress, its simple lines flowing in the soft light, setting off her still childish eleven-year-old figure.
The hem of her skirt swayed gently with her every movement, like a newly blooming flower, pure and full of vitality.
When she went downstairs, Pansy was already waiting in the living room. Seeing Cygnus coming down, Pansy stood up excitedly: "Cygnus, you finally came down! I've been waiting for you for a long time."
Cygnus smiled apologetically and said, "I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. Draco is still dawdling. We'll set off once he comes down."
Pansy looked at Sensei curiously and asked doubtfully, "Sensei, why do you insist on letting me follow you to Nott Manor today?"
Cygnus smiled and replied, "Pansy, there is someone we need to save."
"Oh? Who is it?" Pansy became even more curious.
"You'll know when you get there." Segnus deliberately kept it a secret.
At this time, Draco finally finished his procrastination and went downstairs. He yawned loudly and complained, "Really, can't I sleep a little longer?"
Cygnus glared at him and said in a fake angry tone, "Draco, stop complaining. We are running out of time. Let's get going."
She grabbed a handful of Floo powder that was glowing with mysterious light from the shelf next to the fireplace, and then sprinkled the Floo powder in the fireplace, and the fire suddenly became dazzling.
"Is everyone ready?" asked Cygnus.
"It's been ready for a long time!" Pansy replied.
Draco still looked lazy. He yawned and said, "Well, let's finish it quickly. I want to go home and catch up on some sleep."
Cygnus glared at Draco and said, "Destination, Nott Manor!"
As soon as the words fell, the three of them walked into the fireplace together and were instantly engulfed by the flames.
When they reappeared, they were already in front of the fireplace at Nott's Manor.
As soon as Seignus and his party walked out of the fireplace, they saw Blaise standing in front of the fireplace with a rose in his mouth. When he saw Seignus coming out, he spit the rose out of his mouth.
"Oh, Segnus, you're finally here. I've been waiting for you so long that my heart is about to break." Brace held his chest exaggeratedly, pretending to be affectionate.
Segnus couldn't help but laugh, "Brace, what are you doing? Stop it, we have business to attend to."
"Business? In my eyes, you are my biggest business." Bryce still refused to give up, with a sly smile on his face.
Pansy and Draco beside them couldn't help but snickering, they were already used to Blaise's flirtatious expressions.
Cygnus gently pushed Blaise away, signaling him to be serious.
"Okay, Blaise, we really have business. Where's Theodore?"
Brace dropped his joking expression and nodded slightly: "Okay, Theodore is waiting for you in the study, follow me."
The group followed Brace through the ornately decorated corridor and came to a study filled with the scent of books.
In the study, Theodore was sitting in front of an old mahogany desk, concentrating on studying the book in his hands. Hearing the footsteps, he raised his head and a gentle smile appeared on his usually cold face.
Pansy looked around and asked in confusion, "Why isn't Daphne here?"
Cygnus sighed and replied, "This gathering is about Daphne's matter."
"Oh? What's the matter?" Pansy became even more curious.
Cygnus hesitated for a moment and said, "It's because the head of the Greengrass family wants to marry Daphne to Marcus Flint."
Hearing this name, Pansy couldn't help but frowned: "Marcus Flint? Isn't he the guy who looks like a troll?"
Draco couldn't help laughing out loud: "Haha, yes, Pansy, you described it so aptly!"
"That Flint, to be honest, is terrible." Blaise frowned, his tone full of disgust.
"We can't just watch Daphne fall into the hands of someone like that."
After hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.
They sat around the sofa in the study and began to brainstorm ways to solve the problem.
Suddenly, Pansy's eyes lit up and she made a suggestion: "We can find a prestigious family and let Daphne marry them.
In this way, the head of the Greengrass family should give up on Marcus Flint."
"It's a good idea, but who should we look for? Who could be more famous than Malfoy?" Draco asked doubtfully.
Everyone fell into deep thought. At this moment, Segnus suddenly said, "If we replace the head of the Greengrass family and let Daphne become the new head of the family, then she won't have to marry Flint, right?"
Everyone was petrified instantly, their faces frozen. They never expected that such bold words would come out of the usually gentle and simple Segnus's mouth.
Blaise was so shocked that he stammered, "S-Segnas, this kind of thing is no joke."
Segnus blinked his eyes, looking innocent: "Oh, I'm just making a suggestion, don't be so nervous."
"Actually, I think Segnus's proposal is worth a try." Theodore suddenly spoke, his voice calm and powerful, shocking everyone.
Segnus looked at Theodore with a look of having found a confidant, as if to say: "See, there is still someone who understands me."
She smiled and said, "I knew you would understand me, Theodore."
Pansy shook her head, still finding it hard to accept: "Are you two exaggerating? This is a big deal, no joking."
"I'm not kidding." Segnus put away his smile and became serious.
"I just think, why do we always have to play by other people's rules? Why can't we make our own rules?"
Draco frowned and said worriedly: "But, Cygnus, have you ever thought about the consequences of doing this?"
"Of course I have," replied Cygnus.
"But I don't think we have any better choice. The head of the Greengrass family doesn't care about Daphne's happiness at all. If we do nothing, then Daphne will really have no future."
Blaise sighed and compromised, "Well, since you all insist, let's try to implement this plan.
However, we have to be careful not to let anyone discover our actions."
Theodore nodded and added, “Yes, we need a careful plan.
First, we need to understand the weakness of the patriarch and find the right time to strike."
"Pansy, you are good at digging out secrets. I need you to find out what the head of the family did secretly." Segnus ordered seriously.
Pansy nodded and said confidently, "Don't worry, leave it to me."
"Brace, you have a wide range of contacts. Go check out the Greengrass family's social circle and see if there is anything you can use." Segnus turned to look at Brace.
Blaise raised an eyebrow and replied, "I'm the best at this. Leave it to me."
"Theodore, send people to infiltrate the enemy and understand their movements." Segnus continued to assign tasks.
Theodore nodded calmly: "I already have the right person, and I guarantee that the task will be completed."
Finally, Cygnus looked at Draco and said, "Brother, let's go and persuade Dad to suppress the Greengrass family's economy and put them in trouble both internally and externally."
Draco smiled and said teasingly: "That's a cruel move of yours, but I like it."
After the tasks were assigned, everyone went their separate ways.
Cygnus found their father, Lucius Malfoy, and in the family's private meeting room, she stood in front of a huge family tree and unfolded her plan with confidence.
"Father, I think you will be interested in this plan." Cygnus said confidently.
Lucius Malfoy leaned back in his chair, tapping his fingers on the table, and looked at Cygnus. "Oh? Tell me about it."
"If we can support Daphne to become the new head of Greengrass, it will only benefit our Malfoy family and not harm it."
Cygnus walked over to the table and ran her finger over the map. "First, the wealth and resources of the Greengrass family will be at our disposal. Second, we can use Daphne's influence to further solidify our alliances with other families."
Lucius nodded slightly, clearly interested in Cygnus's point of view. "But, Cygnus, how do you plan to make an eleven-year-old girl the head of a household?"
Segnus gave a sly smile and said, “This requires us to plan cleverly.
Daphne is smart and courageous, and as long as we give her the proper guidance and support, she is fully capable of taking on this responsibility."
“Besides, father,” Cygnus continued, “after Daphne became the head of the family, she became a living amulet for us.
The power of the Greengrass family will be closely linked to ours, which will undoubtedly be a powerful deterrent for us to fight against those who covet our family's status."
Lucius pondered for a moment, and finally smiled with satisfaction: "You have convinced me, Segnus. This plan is worth a try. However, how many people do you need?"
Segnus smiled slightly: "As long as my father agrees, I will make my own arrangements."
With her father's support, Cygnus took action immediately. Under her command, the Malfoy family began to secretly influence the internal decision-making of the Greengrass family. At the same time, she also exerted the necessary "pressure" on those who might sabotage the plan.
Segnus cleverly planned and put pressure on the Greengrass family in several places, causing them to be in turmoil.
During this period, Lucius also supported his children to ensure that the plan went smoothly.
One day, in the garden of Malfoy Manor, Lucius and Cygnus were walking and discussing the progress of the plan.
Lucius asked, "Signus, how is the Greengrass family doing lately?"
Cygnus smiled and replied, “Father, as we expected, divisions have begun to arise within the Greengrass family.
I have successfully found someone to alienate the patriarch's confidants, and their power is gradually weakening."
Lucius nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, keep it up. By the way, how is Daphne doing?"
A trace of tenderness flashed in Segnus' eyes: "Daphne is very smart, and she has gradually begun to accept our guidance. I believe that in the near future, she will become an excellent head of the family."
"That's good." Lucius patted Secona's shoulder. "If this is done, the position of our Malfoy family will be more stable. Secona, you did a great job."
Segnus said confidently: "Father, I won't let you down."
At this time, a family member hurried over and reported, "Ms. Segnus, we just received news that the Flint family seems to have noticed something and is investigating secretly."
Segnus' eyes turned cold. "Oh? He actually dared to come and investigate us? Tell him that if he doesn't want the Greengrass family to be completely destroyed, he'd better stay quiet."
"Yes!" The family members took the order and left.
Lucius looked at Seignus and couldn't help laughing: "Seignus, you are really cruel to outsiders."
Segnus said calmly: "Father, being kind to the enemy is being cruel to yourself. I do this for the future of our family."
Lucius nodded and said with emotion: "You have grown up, Seconas. I believe that under your leadership, the Malfoy family will become even stronger."
Segnus smiled and said, "Thank you, father. I won't let you down."
