The Emerald at Hogwarts

Chapter 574 Malfoy Manor

The surname Malfoy comes from Old French and means "perfidious".Like Rozier and Lestrange, the history of the Malfoy family can be traced back to the French wizarding world.

Armand Malfoy came to Britain with William the Conqueror and helped him a lot, so he got a piece of land in Wiltshire.The Malfoy family has lived in Wiltshire for ten centuries ever since.

In the past few centuries, almost all members of the Malfoy family have studied in Slytherin House, and the family coat of arms is also black-green-silver, with a snake pattern.

The silver ribbon on the badge is also engraved with Latin words, which means "pure and eternal".

Wealth, land, and family traits that have been inherited in one continuous line have given the Malfoy family a reputation for cunning, and they have flourished in the wizarding world and are extremely influential.

Lucius I of the Malfoy family once pursued Queen Elizabeth I, and Septimus also secretly controlled the Ministry of Magic at the end of the 18th century. Draco's grandfather, Abraxas, even forced the first Muggle-born Minister for Magic Nobby Rich has resigned early.

The pure-blood family's persecution and contempt for Muggles has never stopped.Nicholas Malfoy killed many Muggles when he was alive, and disguised the cause of death of Muggles, making people believe that these violent Muggles died of the Black Death, so as to escape punishment.

It can be said that since the day the Malfoy family entered Britain, they have controlled the wind, rain and lightning in this land.It is such a powerful family, but now they can't even keep their ancestral manor.

Lucius is the worst Malfoy ever.Losing the ancestral house is nothing more than being shameless to face the ancestors after death. If the lives of his wife and children are at stake, Lucius will really be unable to atone for his sin.

Following Voldemort, the benefits were not much to be reaped, the fences were squatting and the house was confiscated by Voldemort. In the end, it was difficult to save his family and life. I don't know if Lucius's brain is also seriously ill.

This is the status quo of many pure-blood families who followed Voldemort. They were limped by Voldemort's pure-blood theory, and they followed on board the thief ship.Unexpectedly, the old boy Voldemort ran all the way to the dark, and directly welded the car door, so no one could get out of the car halfway.

In addition, the descendants of the family are really not up to the mark, and they all seem to be unable to use their brains. They followed Voldemort all the way to the dark, which led to the decline of many pure-blood families in the British wizarding world.

For example, Rozier, Lestrange, Selwyn, etc., including Malfoy now.

Ada stopped on a country road in Wiltshire, and could see the magnificent Malfoy Manor in the distance.Neatly manicured tall hedges, imposing wrought iron gates, straight long driveways, and well-designed gardens surround it.

While Ida was admiring the magnificent Malfoy Manor, a group of Aurors, led by Mr. Weasley, quietly approached the wrought iron gate, ready to launch a surprise attack.

Similar to the Rose Manor in Versailles, an ancient existence like Malfoy Manor naturally has a lot of magical protection.Apparating directly into the manor is no different from courting death.

Now that this place has become a temporary base for Death Eaters, the protection of the manor has naturally been improved, and it is almost impossible to easily enter the manor.

Before Mr. Weasley could lead the group closer, they were spotted by the wrought-iron gate, its abstract curly flower pattern contorted into a hideous face, saying in an echoing metallic voice, "Tell me the purpose of your visit."

I wanted to take advantage of the darkness of night to quietly launch a sneak attack to catch the opponent by surprise. It would be best to trap the Death Eaters under the covers.But the plan couldn't keep up with the changes, and the Aurors just exposed Xingzang as soon as they approached the manor.

A young Squad member ventured forward and made up a lie that he was visiting Mrs. Malfoy.

In the middle of the night, the reason for visiting a middle-aged woman who nominally lives alone is really lame.

The wrought-iron gate was not opened to welcome the guests, and the already intimidating face on the door suddenly bit down on it.Fortunately, Mr. Weasley had been prepared and pulled the young player back to his side with a wave of his wand, so that the young player was spared the pain of breaking his arm.

It was impossible to sneak in, so he had to attack by force. Mr. Weasley raised his wand to blast open the gate, but the speed of the wrought iron gate was faster than him.The moment the team member flew back, the gate began to transform again, and the wrought iron turned into sharp clusters of arrows, stabbing at the Ministry of Magic with a loud sound of piercing through the air.

First, it can slow down the Ministry of Magic's attack, and second, the loud noise can also remind people living in the manor: don't sleep, someone broke in, so hurry up and run away!
Everyone in the action team either avoided the rain of arrows, or raised their magic wands to prop up the barrier to resist.When the rain of arrows finally stopped, the manor that was supposed to be opened was shrouded in a light curtain, which continued to prevent everyone from entering the manor.

There were also several running figures on the long driveway in the manor, apparently Death Eaters who came to check the situation, or cannon fodder.

In order to be able to enter the manor as soon as possible and prevent the Death Eaters hiding in the manor from escaping in the chaos, everyone in the action team raised their wands and began to bombard the magic shield.

The pruned yew hedges were wiped out by blasts of magic colliding, while the shields protecting the manor remained intact.

At this moment, the Death Eaters running in the driveway were about to rush forward, and the first to run was the werewolf Fenrir Greyback.He had long limbs, a matted gray hair and whiskers, and long yellow nails on dirty fingers.

Greyback was here to report some things tonight, but his things were insignificant to the Death Eaters, they were all dirty and bloody little things.

Since it was late, Greyback stayed in the manor, but the place where he lived was not the luxurious main building, but a small house near the gate, so Greyback was the first to rush over.

Behind Greyback, a group of Death Eaters also rushed over with their cannon fodder, and saw the Ministry of Magic operatives bombarding the protective cover of the manor.One side stops inside the protective cover and can attack unscrupulously, while the other side stands outside the protective cover and can only passively defend.

All of a sudden, everyone in the Ministry of Magic fell into an unfavorable situation.

At this moment, a white light flashed across the sky, and suddenly bumped into the protective cover protecting Malfoy Manor.With an earth-shattering loud noise, the rock-solid protective cover immediately shattered, and could no longer stop everyone's attack.

Without the protective cover, Malfoy Manor lost its support, and a large number of action members rushed into the manor at once.

Those who rushed into the manor first tried their best to resist the Death Eaters inside, and opened a passage for the colleagues who broke in later.

On the Death Eater's side, Greyback rushed towards Mr. Weasley with a grinning grin.Although Arthur Weasley was a middle-aged man, his taste was not as fresh as that of a child, but the status of the director gave him a bonus, making Greyback want to taste the taste of the director of the Department of Law Enforcement.

In addition to Greyback, there are many familiar faces among the Death Eaters, such as the Lestrange brothers, Selwyn, Antonin Dolohov, Avery, Selwyn, etc.

Colorful spells illuminated the night sky, and the sound of shouting and cursing kept ringing out. The magnificent fountain had been blown to pieces by the spell, and the white peacock was no longer as graceful as it was walking before.

The sound of explosions appeared frequently in everyone's ears, rubble and rubble fell like a shower, and people from both sides in the melee fell down from time to time, or uttered tragic cries of pain.

Scrimgeour, who had been transferred from the Auror headquarters long ago, also participated in tonight's raid. He was like an old lion, his beard and hair were all stretched out, his wand kept emitting red light, and he shot out stunners one after another, knocking down several cannon fodder one after another. .

Rufus Scrimgeour's performance naturally attracted the attention of the Death Eaters, and Rodolphus Lestrange immediately jumped over and fought with Scrimgeour, and they fought hard.

On the other side, the disgusting Greyback entangled Mr. Weasley. His spell level was not very high, but he was very flexible due to his size.

Greyback kept dodging and moving to avoid Mr. Weasley's spell and bring the distance between them closer.Whenever Greyback got close to Mr. Weasley, he would fly at him, try to bite Mr. Weasley on the neck, and drink the blood of the Director of Law Enforcement of the Ministry of Magic.

And Antonin Dolokhov also started to attack Mr. Weasley with the idea of ​​catching the thief first.

As long as the leader is killed, the Ministry of Magic's actions will be self-defeating, and the Death Eaters can lead the cannon fodder to pursue the victory.

At this moment, the second batch of action teams from the Ministry of Magic arrived in time and poured into the chaotic manor.With the addition of the new force, the pressure on the Ministry of Magic's side was relieved a lot, while the Death Eaters fell into a hard fight.

Taking advantage of the chaos at the moment, Ada also entered the Malfoy Manor. While avoiding the splashing spells, she walked towards the main building in the center of the manor, looking for the Malfoy couple who were in trouble.
