Chapter 574 Malfoy Manor

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

Armand Malfoy followed William the Conqueror to Britain and helped him greatly, so he was given a piece of land in Wiltshire. The Malfoy family took root in Wiltshire and lived for ten centuries.

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

The silver ribbon on the badge is also engraved with Latin words, which means "purity will always prevail".

Wealth, land, and the same family traits have given the Malfoy family a reputation for cunning, and they are very influential in the wizarding world.

Lucius I of the Malfoy family once pursued Queen Elizabeth I. 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 Ridge has resigned early.

This pure-blood family's persecution and contempt for Muggles has never stopped. Nicholas Malfoy killed many Muggles while he was still alive and pretended to be the cause of their death, leading people to believe that the Muggles who died suddenly died of the Black Death, thereby escaping punishment.

It can be said that from the day the Malfoy family entered Britain, they have been controlling the wind, rain, and thunder and lightning in this land. It is such a powerful family, but now it cannot even save its ancestral manor.

Lucius is the most miserable Malfoy. Losing his ancestral home meant that he would not be able to face his ancestors after his death. If the lives of his wife and children were put on the line again, Lucius would really have to die to atone for his sin.

Following Voldemort, there were not many benefits, not to mention squatting on the fence, and the house was confiscated by Voldemort. In the end, it was difficult to save his wealth and life, and I don't know if Lucius's brain was also seriously ill.

This is the current situation of many pure-blood families who follow Voldemort. They were fooled by Voldemort's pure-blood theory and followed him on the pirate ship. Unexpectedly, this old boy Voldemort ran all the way to the dark side and welded the car door shut so that no one could get out of the car.

In addition, the descendants of the family were really unsatisfactory, and all of them seemed to have no brains. They followed Voldemort to the dark side, which led to the decline of many pure-blood families in the British wizarding world.

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

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

While Ada was admiring the magnificent Malfoy Manor, a group of Aurors, led by Mr. Weasley, quietly approached the wrought iron gate, preparing 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. Disapparating directly into the manor is no different from seeking death.

Now that this place has become a temporary base for Death Eaters, the protection of the manor has naturally gone to a higher level. It is almost impossible to easily enter the manor.

Before Mr. Weasley could lead the crowd closer, they were spotted by the wrought iron door. The abstract curling pattern on the door twisted into a terrifying face, and said in an echoing metallic voice: "Speak of 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 off guard. It would be best if I could trap the Death Eaters in bed. But the plan couldn't keep up with the change. As soon as the Aurors approached the manor, they exposed Xingzang.

A young member of the Action Team boldly stepped forward and made up a lie, saying that he was here to visit Mrs. Malfoy.

The reason for visiting a middle-aged woman who lives alone in the middle of the night is really lame.

The wrought-iron door did not open to greet guests, and the already intimidating face on the door suddenly took a bite. Fortunately, Mr. Weasley was well prepared and pulled the young player back to his side with a wave of his wand, and the young player was spared the pain of breaking his arm.

If infiltration failed, he could only attack by force. Mr. Weasley raised his wand and tried to blast open the door, but the wrought iron door was faster than him. The moment the team member flew back, the door began to transform again, and the wrought iron turned into clusters of sharp arrows, stabbing at everyone in the Ministry of Magic with a loud sound of breaking through the air.

Firstly, it can delay the attack of the Ministry of Magic, and secondly, the loud noise can also remind the people living in the manor: don't sleep, someone has broken in, and run away quickly!

Everyone in the action team either dodged the hail of arrows or raised their wands to prop up the barrier to resist. When the arrow rain finally stopped, the manor that was supposed to be opened was shrouded in a curtain of light, continuing to prevent everyone from breaking into the manor.

Several running figures also appeared on the long driveway in the manor. They were obviously Death Eaters or cannon fodder who came to check the situation.

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

The air waves of magic collision destroyed all the neatly trimmed yew hedges, but the shield protecting the manor remained unbroken.

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

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

Since it was getting late, Greyback stayed at the manor, but he lived not in the luxurious main building, but in 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 operations team bombarding the manor's protective shield. If one side stops inside the protective cover, it can attack without restraint, while if one side stands outside the protective cover, it can only defend passively.

Suddenly, everyone in the Ministry of Magic was in an unfavorable situation.

At this moment, a white light flashed across the sky and suddenly hit the protective shield protecting Malfoy Manor. With a loud noise that shook the earth, the protective shield that had been as stable as a rock immediately shattered, and could no longer stop everyone's attack.

Without the protective shield, Malfoy Manor lost its support, and a large number of operational team members suddenly poured into the manor.

The first people who rushed into the manor tried their best to resist the Death Eaters inside, opening a passage for their colleagues who broke in later.

On the Death Eater side, Greyback grinned and rushed towards Mr. Weasley. Although Arthur Weasley is a middle-aged man, his taste is not as fresh as that of a child, but his status as director gives him a bonus, making Greyback want to taste the taste of the director of the Department of Legal Enforcement.

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

Colorful spells lit up the night sky, and the voices of angry shouts and curses continued to sound. The spectacular fountain had long been blown to pieces by the spells, and the white peacock no longer looked as graceful as when it was walking before.

Explosions frequently appeared in everyone's ears, and rubble and gravel fell like showers. From time to time, people on both sides of the melee fell down, or screamed in agony.

Scrimgeour, who had been transferred out of the Auror headquarters a long time ago, also participated in tonight's raid. He looked like an old lion with his hair and beard spread out, his wand kept spitting out red light, and he shot out stun spells one after another, knocking down several cannon fodders one after another. .

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

On the other side, the disgusting Greyback is entangled with Mr. Weasley. His spell skills are not very advanced, but he is extremely flexible despite his huge size.

Greyback kept moving around to avoid Mr. Weasley's spell and close the distance between them. Whenever Greyback approached Mr. Weasley, he would pounce on him and try to bite Mr. Weasley on the neck, feasting on the blood of the Director of Legal Enforcement of the Ministry of Magic.

And Antonin Dolohov, with the idea of ​​catching the thief first, also began to attack Mr. Weasley.

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

At this moment, the second batch of Ministry of Magic operations teams arrived in time and poured into the chaotic manor. With the addition of new forces, the pressure on the Ministry of Magic was suddenly relieved a lot, while the Death Eaters were in a tough fight.

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