[HP] Liar

Ep.59

"What's going on?" Another lazy voice sounded in front of everyone.

Narcissa Malfoy turned around and saw her husband—Lucius Malfoy coming to the center of the hall with a scepter.Malfoy's long light blond hair was tied loosely behind his head with only a ribbon, his cheeks were slightly sunken, and his whole complexion looked haggard for no reason.

Viola noticed that Harry's expression became visibly flustered.She guessed that this might be because Lucius Malfoy had met him in person on some occasion.

"They said they caught Potter." Narcissa replied coldly, "Draco, come here."

Upon hearing Draco's name, Viola immediately lowered her head guiltyly like a thief who was caught stealing, her eyes only dared to stare at her toes.After a while, she heard Greiberg the werewolf ask, "How is it, boy?"

Viola was really concerned about how Draco would answer this question, but she didn't dare to raise her head to meet Draco's gaze directly, so she could only squint and observe Draco's face secretly.And Draco's complexion looked just as sickly as his father's, a pale, thin, fuzzy face under pale blond hair.

"Well, Draco?" Lucius Malfoy asked eagerly. "Is that him? Is it Harry Potter?"

After listening to his father's question, Draco just stood there in a daze, his heart filled with unbelievable emotions.In fact, when he saw the group of people being tied up, he didn't notice Potter at all—because his eyes were all on Viola.

How is this going?Hadn't she already escaped with that Muggleborn named Ted Tonks?Why does it appear in Malfoy Manor now?He kept questioning himself anxiously in his heart, although he clearly knew that it was impossible for him to come up with a definite answer.

"Draco?" Lucius seemed a little impatient, and couldn't help calling out his son's name again, "Is it him?"

Draco licked his lips silently.He thought that if Potter's true identity was revealed now, the remaining captives would immediately lose their use value.Based on this alone, he would not be able to tell the truth in front of everyone.

"I-I'm not sure."

"Look carefully, look! Come closer!" Lucius ordered excitedly, "Draco, if we hand Potter over to the Dark Lord, everything will be forgiven—"

"I hope you don't forget who caught him first, Malfoy." Before Lucius could finish speaking, Greiberg threatened angrily.

"What did you do to him?" Lucius quickly noticed the strangeness on Harry's face, and couldn't help asking, "How did he get his face like this?"

"We didn't do it."

"Looks like a Stinging Curse to me," Lucius said, observing Harry with his research, "There's something in there that looks like a scar, stretched tight... Draco , come here, take a good look! What do you think?"

In desperation, Draco had no choice but to come to Harry Potter in silence.As Potter's rival for many years, Draco actually recognized him at first sight, but after pretending to observe, Draco still replied with some reluctance: "I don't know."

"We'd better find out, Lucius." Narcissa couldn't help interjecting at this moment, "We must wait until we are fully sure that he is Potter before summoning the Dark Lord... They say it is his wand— —" she said, picking up Harry's wand, which had been discarded on the ground, "but it doesn't look like what Ollivander described. If we're mistaken, it's useless to call the Dark Lord Come... Merlin, do you still remember how he treated Rolle and Dolohov?"

"What about the Mudblood?" Greyberg pointed at Hermione at this moment.

Draco's heart tightened when he heard the word "Mudblood".But when he saw the direction Greberg's finger was pointing at, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Wait a minute," Narcissa seemed to think of something suddenly, "Yes, she went to Madam Malkin's robe store with Potter, and I saw her picture in the "Daily Prophet". Miss Ranger?"

Damn.Draco couldn't help cursing in his heart.

"I think, probably."

"Then, the other boy must be the Weasley boy!" Narcissa shouted immediately, bypassing Ron whose hands were bound, and then went straight to Viola, "What about her? She Who is it again?"

Grayberg sneered: "Oh, her? She said she was Sophia Harris. But who knows who Sophia Harris is?"

"Harris?" Narcissa frowned slightly. "Is it the daughter of Gringotts' Cursebreaker Harris? But he is a man with blond hair and blue eyes, tall and thin, with freckles all over his face... the girl in front of me, She looks much prettier than him."

At this moment, Viola felt that her heart was about to jump into her throat.She didn't dare to open her mouth to make excuses, so she could only let Narcissa turn around in front of her.

"Do you know that boy, girl?" In the next second, Viola could feel her chin being gently lifted with a magic wand, and when she opened her eyes, she met Narcissa's cold gaze, "That boy, Is he Harry Potter?"

"I……"

Viola opened her mouth blankly, but her eyes subconsciously glanced in Draco's direction.Unexpectedly, the eyes of the two unexpectedly collided at this moment.Draco's complexion didn't look any better than hers, and he seemed to be nervous, although Viola didn't know what he was afraid of deep in his heart.

Suddenly, the living room door behind Harry was slammed open by someone.A black-haired woman slowly walked into the hall, holding a long magic wand in her right hand, and looked at the captives who were half kneeling on the ground with an unkind expression.Finally, Viola saw her stop beside Harry and Hermione.

"Ouch," she said softly, "isn't that the Mudblood girl? Isn't that Hermione Granger?"

"Yes, that's her." Lucius answered firmly, "We think the boy next to her is Potter! We finally caught Potter and his friends, Bella!"

"Potter?" Bellatrix snorted softly, "Are you sure? If so, we must notify the Dark Lord immediately!"

In the next second, she rolled up her sleeves, revealing the Dark Mark on her left arm that was burned into the flesh.

"I'm planning to summon it," Lucius said, "but we can't be sure... What's more, even if we want to summon it, we should summon it, shouldn't we?"

"I'm sorry, Mr. Malfoy." Greyberg objected, "I was the one who caught them first."

"Stop!" Bellatrix screamed at this moment, "Don't touch that thing, if the Dark Lord comes now, we will all die!" With that, she held a handful of golden red The member of the long sword search team walked over and asked sharply: "What is that? Give it to me!"

"Not yours, ma'am," protested the Snatcher. "We found it first."

But how could a member of the Huntsman be a match for Bellatrix Lestrange?Bellatrix hit the search party member in two or three hits, and snatched the ruby-studded sword from him.

"Where did you get this sword?" she asked Greyberg.

"We just saw it in their tent!"

"How is that possible!" Bellatrix screamed sharply, "It should be lying in my Gringotts vault! How could it be taken away by someone else?" After speaking, she turned away , and looked at Viola who was restrained by Narcissa so much that she dared not even move.Viola's palms also broke out in cold sweat.

"Do you know what it is?" she asked Viola.

"I don't know, ma'am." Viola immediately shook her head vigorously, "I really don't know what's going on! I just played truant from Hogwarts... I don't know what a sword is. matter……"

It is true that what Viola said is indeed true, but it is a pity that Bellatrix is ​​unlikely to accept such an answer.

"What's your name?" she continued.

"I, my name is... Suo, Sophia..."

"Oh, come on, I've seen the Harris daughter, she doesn't look like you." Bellatrix spat hard, "On the contrary, you remind me of another ex-girlfriend." A Mudblood thrown in a dungeon just a few days ago - a member of the Ministry of Magic's Law Enforcement Division - Penelope Clearwater."

As soon as Bellatrix's voice fell, Viola's face immediately turned as pale as a wall.

Bellatrix smiled with satisfaction, and walked towards her slowly: "It seems that you did understand what I was saying, didn't you? That's really great, because the thing I hate the most That's the dirty Mudblood! That Mudblood, she's your own sister, isn't she?"

"What did you do to her?" Viola took a deep breath, tried hard to suppress her inner anxiety, and asked coldly, "What did you do to Penello?"

"What did you do?" Bellatrix sneered, "It's nothing - it's just that she can no longer continue to pollute the entire magic world with her dirty blood!" After finishing speaking, she ordered Narcissa He released Viola's jaw, and quickly waved the wand in his hand at Viola, as if showing off his might.

"And now," she went on to warn, "you'd better be nice and tell me the truth. Otherwise—"

"You're dreaming!" Unexpectedly, Viola stared at her fiercely and spat.

"Very good." Bellatrix's eyes showed excitement and surprise, "Then let's taste the pain that your sister has tasted - Cruciatus!"
