Daphne colored, "This part of my tale reflects poorly on my dear Blaise, and I hope you may forgive me for this. Mr. Nott was not one of Lord Voledmort’s close followers but he was known among that group and led my husband Blaise into some folly. It is due to Theodore that my husband died, you see, sick and penniless, having been betrayed into giving up some of his fortune. I merely wanted Mr. Nott’s assistance as my husband had appointed him executor of his will and Gringotts will not act without his signature. There is a small cottage and some other funds which would set me up quite well but as it is, I now am unable to pay anyone else to assist me if Mr. Nott continues to ignore my owl."
