Twins :A diffrent story

Chapter 29 (pt 2)

seemed to freeze and Sirius had to forcefully stop a smirk from appearing on his face, he hadn't even began thinking about the lack of evidence, just the fact that Heirlooms were missing, despite the lack of truth in his words.

"Proof, Lord Slytherin-Le Fey?" Potter questioned, and unlike the Dark Lord, he couldn't keep the disgust out of his tone.

"Yes, proof, Lord Potter." Lord Slytherin-Le Fey repeated, somehow making it sound like he was talking to a child, while not changing his tone whatsoever.

"I have previously stated that I would not be mentioning this if other than my daughter." Potter pointed out, and Sirius noted he glanced at Dumbledore, where the old man nodded slightly.

"I understand, of course, but you must understand that the theft of Heirlooms is horrific for us, as Lords and Ladies with long lines of our own." Marvolo said, "Those years of history missing, as you said, is very distressing. You must have wanted them back and a Gringotts audit, as we all know, will recover the location of all items, whether missing or not."

"I understand, of course, but you must understand that the theft of Heirlooms is horrific for us, as Lords and Ladies with long lines of our own." Marvolo said, "Those years of history missing, as you said, is very distressing. You must have wanted them back and a Gringotts audit, as we all know, will recover the location of all items, whether missing or not."

"I do not believe we are here to discuss the other actions of Lady Potter-," Dumbledore said but he was cut off by the Dark Lord.

"It is not within your rights, Chief Warlock, to interrupt or redirect the questioning or the inquiring of the Lords and Ladies within these chambers." Marvolo stated coldly, his voice cutting.

"It is not within your rights, Chief Warlock, to interrupt or redirect the questioning or the inquiring of the Lords and Ladies within these chambers." Marvolo stated coldly, his voice cutting.

"I am merely trying to prevent any time wasted." Dumbledore said amicably, and Marvolo's smile was frosty.

"Matters brought before this esteemed body have already been evaluated and deemed time worthy. To gain full insight to this sensitive issue, we must fully explore all circumstances, angles and possibilities, before we are able to come to a fair and unprejudiced decision." Marvolo said evenly, "Unless, of course, you wish to hurry us along, which could then lead us to a formal wrong decision, making this entire seating pointless."

"That was not my intention whatsoever." Dumbledore denied hastily.

"There is the possibility you wish to focus our attentions elsewhere, do you wish for an unfair trial, Chief Warlock? One that will possibly go in Lord Potter's favour."

"I would never-,"

"Because, after all, we all know that you are a close, personal friend of Lord Potter. It wouldn't do to create a shambles out of these chambers because you were too personally involved with the case." Marvolo said in concern, or at least it sounded like concern to most of the room. It sounded like mocking to Dumbledore. The Chief Warlock found himself in a very precarious position, he had no viable words to dispute the Slytherin Lord's claim, but he was here to remove the black spot from Rosina Potter's name; he was stuck. The Lords and Ladies muttered to themselves, listening to the powerful Lord's words and Sirius looked down to hide his gleeful expression – but he wasn't the only one.
