"you do not know?"
The expression on Harry's face was a little subtle. Although many thoughts flashed through his mind, he still wanted to hear what Draco had to say.
"Is it possible that you lost your memory before?"
"Amnesia?" Draco was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and denied, "No."
"Kassandra is not my biological sister, she is my father's illegitimate daughter."
"Huh???" This unexpected answer made Harry's eyes widen. "It's something I never imagined." Harry murmured.
"It's a bit unexpected, right?" Draco's voice remained unchanged, as if this kind of thing was normal, "But it's true."
"Kassandra was brought back by her father two years ago. As I said just now, I don't know anything about her past."
"A bastard daughter suddenly appeared and became the heir of the Malfoy family. Draco, you are really a little big-hearted." Harry joked, this was a bit interesting.
"Really?" Draco scratched his hair, then shook his head. There seemed to be a flash of confusion in his eyes, "I haven't thought about it, maybe because it's not important."
"Is that so? I'm just telling you why you two siblings look a little weird."
Harry looked away from Draco, "You seem to be afraid of her. On the train last year, I almost thought she was not your sister, but your mother."
Draco's body trembled slightly, "How could it be?" He said subconsciously.
"She must have been bullied a lot. Cassandra seems to be a very strong person. Girls mature precociously. How many times has she been beaten?"
"My sister is very kind to me. She is a gentle and kind girl."
These words sounded a bit familiar. Dobby seemed to have described Cassandra this way before.
"Ha~ I really hope that's the case." Harry didn't see the slightest bit of gentleness and kindness in Cassandra. After all, she was born in Malfoy, and her reputation was not small in Hogwarts, especially in Slytherin. , but even so, gentleness and kindness are not her label, at least no one has seen that side.
"You go see Wood later. He has arranged your training. This is the basis for joining the battle group. If you can't stand this training, then let's not talk about the rest."
"I know." Draco replied seriously.
After watching the training match between Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw, Harry left the Quidditch pitch after dealing with the matters at hand.
"Although it feels like things are getting a little complicated, it's still quite interesting."
As early as when he met Dobby during the holidays, Harry heard something strange in Dobby's words, and after communicating with Draco, the weirdness in his heart became even stronger.
If Dobby was right in seeking help from him, where did Draco's danger come from? If Cassandra really wanted to harm Draco, for example, she chose to eliminate the roots and kill Draco completely in order to seize the family property, then she should not let Draco come to her side.
Dobby once accidentally said the word 'only'. Narcissa Malfoy's only child is Draco. After knowing that Cassandra is an illegitimate daughter, the logic of this sentence is indeed correct.
For Narcissa, bringing back an illegitimate daughter is not something she wants to see. She doesn't care how chaotic her husband's private life is outside. After all, that's how nobles are. The Malfoy family is the only one in England's wizarding world. It is not unusual for wizarding families with noble titles (Malfoy's ancestors were given titles by William the Conqueror) to have such a thing.
But not only did the girl come back, but she also threatened Draco's inheritance. Even if Draco said he didn't care, as a mother, Narcissa, did she really want her only son to be treated like this?
You know, in another timeline, for Draco, Narcissa dared to lie in front of Voldemort and concealed the fact that Harry was still alive, which indirectly led to Voldemort's failure. She loved her children more than anything else.
"Kassandra only came to the Malfoy family two years ago. Not long after, before school started, Narcissa fell ill with a strange disease and couldn't sleep. Dobby said Lucius was crazy, and Draco also said he My father has become more irritable and irritable than before, and his attitude towards his wife Narcissa has also changed inappropriately."
"But even so, the Malfoy family is still very harmonious, but isn't this the most abnormal thing?"
"Perhaps she took the initiative to push Draco to come to me for other reasons? Lucius has a grudge against me because of the Black family. This theory makes sense. This way Lucius can completely reconcile with Germany. The separation of Laco does seem to help her gain wealth."
The clues seemed to be connected together, "But I always feel that this is not the right answer." Harry frowned and thought. He was really not very proficient in conspiracy calculations. That kind of work was only used by smart people and was not very suitable. He prefers to talk about physics than to talk about reason, or in other words, after talking about physics, he wants others to listen to him talk about reason.
"Wanyu" is not a free read.
"By the way, why did I forget the Chamber of Secrets." Harry slapped his forehead. He was just thinking about the Malfoy family's struggle for power, but he ignored what he saw a few days ago. "Go around half the castle to Myrtle." After walking around in the bathroom, there should be no other possibility except that she already knows where the entrance to the secret room is."
"The Horcrux diary should still be at Malfoy's house, and Cassandra has access to the diary. It is even possible."
"Recreate the scene with the heir and release the basilisk to cause panic in Hogwarts?"
"Maybe I should ask Hagrid if any roosters have been poisoned recently. Although I don't understand the idea of releasing a basilisk to scare people, but...wait a minute."
Harry's brows knitted together, and after thinking for a moment, he slowly uttered one word: "Snake?"
Harry suddenly remembered what Dobby had mentioned to him: several owls at home were missing, and even Lucius's favorite peacock was missing. This kind of thing was obviously not right. Harry, who was lost in thought, murmured He murmured to himself: "Will snakes eat owls and peacocks?"
No one in the empty dormitory could answer his question, but at this moment, Luo Fu, who was covered in dirt and grass clippings, opened the door angrily.
"Harry, are you here? Didn't you go to the Quidditch pitch? They just left when I came back." Rolf threw himself on the bed. He was exhausted after just returning from Hagrid's place.
"I went, but there's not much to do. I came back early." Harry glanced at Rolf, and then asked: "Rov, will snakes eat owls and peacocks?"
"What kind of snake?" Luofu replied curiously, "If it can be caught, the snake will eat whatever it wants. Although in theory, the snake is the one who is eaten in front of the owl, but if the prey fails, it will be entangled by the snake. , it’s not unusual for predators to turn into food.”
"Why do you ask this suddenly? Don't tell me anything happened to Hedwig. She is the most beautiful and smartest snowy owl I have ever seen."
"Hedwig is fine." Harry smiled and waved his hands, "It was just a casual question."
"I have something to do and I have to go out first."
Harry stood up and walked to the door, walking out of the Hufflepuff common room.
He deliberately went to the library first. As long as it was not too early or during lunch time, you could basically see students working on their homework there. Harry asked a Gryffindor senior sister about the common room. After politely declining her invitation, Harry turned and walked towards the eighth floor.
The Fat Lady was a little curious as to why the Hufflepuff students came here, but after Harry gave the password, she still gave way to the passage behind, and immediately there was a lively noise coming from the passage. The little wizards in class play cards and games here. Each college's lounge has its own style.
Gryffindor's style is that the common room is not suitable for doing homework, except in the evening and midnight, when there are many overtime people who have homework to be handed in tomorrow.
The twins who had just returned from the Quidditch field were being pulled by Wood to sit in front of the small blackboard and listen to his analysis of today's training. Wood was fascinated by Quidditch, but looking at the sleepy faces of the twins , I guess these two guys didn’t listen to a word.
"Hey!"
Harry slapped the twins on the shoulders. The two were startled and looked at Wood guiltily, but when they found out it was Harry, they suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Just right, Boss!"
"We have something to report to you!"
"We almost forgot just now."
"It's about equipment upgrades."
The twins secretly blinked at Harry, their little thoughts clearly exposed.
It's only been a few days. Even these two geniuses couldn't possibly complete the so-called equipment upgrade. Alchemy is a frighteningly profound subject. Even when the twins are studying, they can always learn the first volume and I will study the next. A whole book has been learned in total, but learning at twice the speed still progresses slowly.
"I borrowed them, and I happened to have something to talk to them about."
Although Wood wanted to say, 'I'll finish speaking soon, give me five more minutes,' but in the end he didn't speak.
"What a life-saver, Captain!"
"You don't know how crazy Wood is this year because of the World Cup!"
"In addition to daily training, this guy actually has to do extra training."
"Angelina is almost losing her period."
"Why do you know this, Fred?"
George stared at Fred with murderous eyes and strangled him viciously.
"I'm not single anymore, George, but you're still a baby."
Fred, who was grinning with grinning teeth, touched George's dog's head, but the next second he was held down by George and beaten wildly.
"You actually didn't let Angelina introduce her best friend to me!" George, who instantly entered a state of blood rage, exploded with fighting power, beating Fred until he screamed.
"Introduction! Introduction! I'll tell you when I get back!"
Fred, who knew he was in the wrong, had no choice but to admit his defeat. He also thought about fussing for a while, and then make a good deal on George, such as contracting his smelly socks for a year, but there was no chance now.
Laughing and joking, the two of them and Harry came to a quiet corner, far away from the fireplace and table. Under normal circumstances, it was a place for lovers to kiss and whisper, but it wasn't there yet. Not a single person could be found within a radius of three to four meters. No.
"What's the matter, Captain?"
"Have you finished the whiskey? We do know a few secret passages to Hogsmeade. It only takes less than an hour to run back and forth, which is very convenient."
"In the middle of the corridor on the fourth floor, there is a statue of a hunchbacked one-eyed witch."
"The command is to separate the left and right sides. Remember not to actually pull the trigger, just tap it with the muzzle of the gun."
The twins didn't care about Harry at all, little things like this didn't need to be kept secret from Harry.
"No, there's still some wine left, and Three Broomsticks doesn't have any old wine in stock. I ordered it all when school started. Mrs. Rosmerta wrote and said it would take a month or two before she could get me some vintage wine. .”
"Then she will love you to death." Fred winked mischievously.
"Mrs. Rosmerta is really wow~" George had a smirk on his face.
As the best-selling tavern in Hogsmeade, the owner of the Three Broomsticks is a wonderful person who combines the labels of young woman, married woman, rich woman, single without children, etc. Her maintenance and figure are very nice, twenty-seven The age of eight is at a subtle tipping point.
"Don't think about giving you discounts when I become the boss." Harry rolled his eyes at the twins, "Be careful, I will give you a super double when the time comes, and you will sell your pants and dance on the pole after drinking for a while. I can’t even dance clearly.”
"Stimulate!"
The twins with mean smiles on their faces high-fived each other, looking a little eager to give it a try?
"Okay, no more nonsense, I want to borrow something from you."
"As long as it's not chastity."
"You can just take it, Commander."
"Go away, lend me the Marauder's Map for a while, I can use it."
"You actually know?" Fred and George opened their mouths in shock, "We obviously didn't tell anyone!"
"Padfoot, Prongs, Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot is my godfather, Sirius, Prongs is my father, Moony is Professor Lupin, do you understand now?"
"Oh, that's it, we thought wait a minute!"
"Prongs is your father? And, Professor Lupin?"
The twins looked at each other, the muscles on their faces twitching. They didn't know whether they were crying, laughing, or overly happy.
"I have heard Professor Lupine talk about their masterpieces at Hogwarts before. Didn't you sneak around holding a piece of parchment last year? I saw it several times."
"There's no sneaking around here, we're looking for the culprit who persecuted Percy on Halloween!"
The twins argued, but they also understood how they were exposed. As students who had not been in Hogwarts for a long time, the twins knew that many secret passages were a bit out of the ordinary, not to mention that they had never hidden it from Harry. Although others would not notice this, since Harry knew about the Marauder's Map, it was normal for him to have this guess.
"The Marauder's Map is indeed with us."
"But it was put in the dormitory. I'll go get it."
George stood up immediately without saying anything and walked quickly to their dormitory.
"Can you tell me what you are looking for, Captain?" Fred asked curiously: "Maybe George and I can help. We have explored every secret room on the map. Hogwarts is much better." Our families are all familiar with it.”
"Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets." Harry whispered in Fred's ear.
"But that secret room?" Fred's face showed a look of excitement. The two of them were always curious about these things. "Has it appeared on the map?"
"Of course not, but someone can take us there."
"Here's the map!" George ran back quickly and handed an old yellowed parchment to Harry.
"Thank you. I'll go ahead and treat you to drinks over the weekend. I'll go to Hagrid's place."
"Okay leader!"
George agreed. After Harry turned around and left, Fred gave George an elbow, "Do you know what earth-shattering secret the leader just told me?"
Fred, who looked inscrutable, showed a mysterious smile.
"Come on!" Even though he knew the hook was straight and the bait was salty, George still bit it.
"One semester of stinky socks."
"No way! Your stinky feet are more disgusting than smoked fish that has been rotting for a year, I don't want to!"
"That month, at least one month!"
"One." George looked at Fred with a sneer, "This is the limit of what I can tolerate the stench."
"Do you still want Angelina to introduce you to her bestie?!"
Fred glared at George, his eyes full of threats.
"Fuck!" George cursed angrily, and then nodded with a dark face, "If it lasts more than a week, I would rather drink a bottle of Snape's potion."
"you are vicious"
Fred gave George a thumbs up. Dare you drink Snape's potion? This determination, which is firmer than death, really makes it impossible to continue bargaining.
"make a deal!"
