The Emerald at Hogwarts

Chapter 576 Sister Black

The courtyard of Malfoy Manor has become a mess, with collapsed walls, broken fountains, burning hedges, white peacocks roasted by fire, and the main building with all the broken windows.The whole manor couldn't see half of its former grandeur, and it was full of dilapidated things.

Ada walked up the broad stone steps into the foyer of the main building with framed pictures on either side.

The chaos outside also extended to the inside of the house. In a short distance from the foyer to the living room, there were three dead bodies lying there.

In the spacious and imposing living room, the view was dim, the crystal chandelier was broken, and there were more blank picture frames hanging on the dark purple walls.

The picture frames in the foyer and the living room belonged to the ancestors of the Malfoy family, but it is unknown where they have gone.

Extravagance and ostentation are the habits of many pure-blood families. As an old pure-blood family, Malfoy is no exception. There are many rooms of different sizes in the main building, and each room is luxuriously decorated.

Ada looked for the Malfoy couple from chapter two, who were hiding in one of the many rooms at the moment.

There is a golden bed in the room, the fireplace is made of marble, and a gilded mirror hangs above the fireplace.The walls are also dark purple, and there is also a framed picture hanging on it.

Unlike the portraits in the living room and the hallway, this picture frame was crowded with people, almost all the ancestors of the Malfoy family crowded here.

Some of them were moaning, some were jumping and cursing, and some were accusing Lucius Malfoy loudly, saying that he had brought disaster to the family and caused today's catastrophe.

The Malfoy family has lived on this land for ten centuries, and tonight, this land will be destroyed by war and burn to the ground.

Lucius looked haggard, unshaven, with sunken, gray eyes that had faded, and he didn't even have the same languid look when he spoke.

There was a bang outside the room, and Lucius inside the room seemed not to hear it, and sat blankly, thinking about something.

Beside him, his wife Narcissa Malfoy is persuading him.

Although they are siblings of the same mother, the two sisters, Black and Black, have completely different attitudes towards Voldemort. The perverted worship of Bellatrix has never appeared in Narcissa.

"Let's leave here and take Draco with us!" Narcissa said, "Stay by his side, we will all die!"

For the sake of her own child, Narcissa could pull back and ask Snape, and tell Snape all of Voldemort's confessions, and it would not be a surprise if she uttered words of betrayal today.

Before being Voldemort's servant, Narcissa Malfoy was first and foremost a mother.

Mothers are great. They can give everything, including their lives, to protect their children and their families.

Lucius raised his head slowly, his eyes were empty like a walking dead.In just a few months, he experienced a rapid descent from heaven to hell, and this gap may not be able to withstand it for others.

"No, how could it be!" Lucius' voice sounded a little abnormal, the first half of the sentence was full of uncertainty, and the second half seemed to be encouraging himself, forcing himself to believe that the Dark Lord would bestow All his glory.

"No, nothing will happen to us!" Lucius' voice became a little crazy, "As long as Draco succeeds...as long as our son completes the task of the Dark Lord, he will forgive us and give us back everything!"

Lucius spoke very excitedly, his listless eyes glowed, and his pale and thin face was flushed sickly.

Narcissa closed her eyes in pain, then she shook her husband's shoulders vigorously, and shouted loudly: "Be sober, please! You and I both know that mission is impossible, he just wants Draco's life! Want to Kill us!"

Her roar even overwhelmed the noisy portraits, the crackling explosions outside the door, and the screams of wizards.

In a trance, Lucius was still having unrealistic fantasies, but Narcissa had already woken up from the fantasies. She wanted to protect her family, and she did not hesitate to pay for it.

Just when Narcissa persuaded her husband to flee, the door of the bedroom was slammed open, and Bellatrix, whose robe was stained with blood, rushed in.Like the Malfoys who were hiding, she never left the main building of the manor. The difference was that she was guarding the prisoners here, and the corpses in the foyer were her masterpiece.

"Sissy!" Bellatrix said, "Come with me, we'll kill all the intruders together! The bad old man in the dungeon is very important to the master, we just need to keep him..."

Narcissa pushed the excited Bellatrix away, and the sudden push made Bellatrix freeze in place, bewildered.

"I don't want to hurt anyone, and I don't want to argue with you anymore, Bella!" Narcissa said, her voice trembling slightly, "I just want my Draco to be safe!"

"What are you talking about?" Bellatrix looked at her sister in disbelief.

"That is the honor bestowed by the Dark Lord to Draco, and also the honor of Malfoy as a whole! Think about it, Lucius has done so many stupid things, and the Dark Lord still gave Draco his trust. What an honor this is!"

Hearing his name, Lucius Malfoy looked at Bellatrix slowly, without anger or counterattack, he looked like the lightning in "Zootopia".

"Enough!" Narcissa's voice was sharp and piercing, like fingernails scratching a blackboard.

Then she begged again: "Bella, let's go, get out of here! Just act like you don't know anything, see nothing, please!"

Tonight's Malfoy Manor was in chaos and the fighting was horrific. There was no situation more suitable for the Malfoys to escape than this.Without a trace of them, it can be said that they were taken away by the Ministry of Magic, or that they disappeared or died, whatever.

Either way, it was safer than continuing to be in Voldemort's hands.

Although the Malfoy family still has a chance of turning around, how can the husband and wife pin their hopes on the impossible task and on Voldemort's magnanimity?

Bellatrix felt that her sister was crazy, dared to betray the Dark Lord, and dismissed the Dark Lord's grace, but she didn't know that the real crazy person was herself.

Although Bellatrix is ​​also afraid of the Dark Lord, her admiration for Voldemort has been deeply rooted in her bones.This crazy adoration counteracted her inner fear and made her obsessed with Voldemort's power.

"Take that back, Cissy!" Bellatrix said, "I can pretend I never heard it."

Bellatrix, who was more cruel to her relatives, finally softened her heart. She didn't want to do anything to her blood sister, even if her sister's words and deeds showed signs of betraying the Dark Lord.

"Let us go, Bella!" Narcissa tremblingly pulled out a wand from her robe, and held it up in front of the other party threateningly.

Facing the threat, Bellatrix panicked, not because of fear, but because she couldn't understand why her sister became like this.

Bellatrix looked at Lucius angrily, as long as this worthless man did one thing right, she would not face such a dilemma.

At this moment, Ada, who had searched many rooms, finally found this place. As soon as she entered, she saw Narcissa pointing her wand at Bellatrix.

What's the situation?The black sisters turned against each other?Or a bloody house fight?Ada was full of small question marks.

It would be better to come early than coincidentally. Ada's appearance just helped Bellatrix make a decision.Bellatrix decisively smashed open a window and jumped into the courtyard.

After Bellatrix fled, Narcissa pointed her wand at Ida.

Lucius Malfoy, who was in a daze, finally reacted, he got up abruptly and rushed in front of his wife, blocking Narcissa behind him.

"I hate people pointing their wands at me the most in my life." In order to find the two couples, Ada worked hard, and naturally there was resentment in her heart.

Lucius Malfoy was still protecting his wife, although his calf was a little weak, but he didn't back down.

As if he had exhausted all his courage, he said tremblingly, "It's not as bad as his wife and children. Narcissa and Draco are not Death Eaters, but I am—please show your kindness and spare them two lives."

Do I look that fierce?Ada questioned herself and reflected on herself.

She felt that her appearance was quite kind, not the kind of vicious one who would be so frightened that she couldn't sleep at a glance.But why did Bellatrix run away as soon as she saw her, and Lucius also looked like a mouse ran into a cat?

"You can't even hold the wand steadily, so don't hold it up, it's so tiring." Ada said leisurely.

Seeing Lucius Malfoy's indescribable expression, Ada was about to continue to say something when she heard a loud noise from outside the window, and saw a huge black flame smashing towards the wizards in the courtyard.

Voldemort is coming!
