"And how do you think Astoria died? Do you still believe the accident story?" Slytherin retorted sarcastically. "Merlin, when we talked about it that time, at the Leaky Cauldron, I thought your intelligence was overrated. Draco spread that story only to protect his son, but the truth is that Scorpius killed her!" she declared, raising her voice to emphasize the gravity of her words. "Not intentionally, of course, only due to Accidental Magic, but how many times have we lost control as children? Have we ever killed anyone? No! Scorpius has always possessed more Dark Magic than anyone else. He would have become who he is even if he hadn't lost his mother, it was his destiny. His blood is cursed, and it's the same blood that now flows in you."
