Hogwarts Emerald

Chapter 576 Black Sisters

The courtyard of Malfoy Manor has become a mess, with collapsed walls, broken fountains, burning hedges, roasted white peacocks, and the main building with all broken window glass. The entire manor didn't look even remotely as magnificent as it once was; it was in tatters and tatters everywhere.

Ada walked up the wide stone steps and entered the foyer of the main building, lined with framed pictures.

The chaos outside also extended into the house. In just a short distance from the foyer to the living room, there were three corpses lying there.

The sight in the spacious and grand living room was dim, the crystal chandelier was broken to the floor, and more blank picture frames hung on the dark purple walls.

The picture frames in the entrance hall and living room originally belonged to the ancestors of the Malfoy family, and it is unknown where they have gone now.

Extravagance and ostentation are the habits of many pure-blood families, and Malfoy, as a long-established pure-blood family, is no exception. There are many rooms of different sizes in the main building, and each room is very luxuriously decorated.

Ada had been looking for the Malfoys for two chapters, and they were hiding in one of the many rooms at the moment.

There is a large 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 picture frame hanging on it.

Unlike the portraits in the living room and foyer, this frame was crowded with people. Almost all the ancestors of the Malfoy family were crowded here.

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

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

Lucius looked very haggard, with an unkempt beard, sunken eye sockets, and his gray eyes had lost their luster. Even when he spoke, he no longer gave people the same lazy feeling as before.

There was a banging outside the room, and Lucius inside the room seemed not to hear it. He sat blankly, not knowing what he was thinking.

Beside him, his wife Narcissa Malfoy was persuading him.

Although they are of the same mother, the two Black sisters have completely different attitudes towards Voldemort. Bellatrix's perverted admiration has never appeared in Narcissa.

"Let's get out of here and take Draco with us!" Narcissa said, "If we continue to stay with him, we will all die!"

For the sake of her children, Narcissa could save her face and ask Snape to tell Snape all about Voldemort. There was nothing to make a fuss about when she spoke words of betrayal today.

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

Mothers are great. They can sacrifice everything, including their lives, to protect their children and family.

Lucius raised his head slowly, his eyes empty like a zombie. In just a few months, he experienced a rapid descent from heaven to hell. Others may not be able to withstand this gap.

"No, how could it be!" Lucius's voice sounded a bit abnormal. The first half of the sentence was full of uncertainty, and the second half seemed like he was encouraging himself, forcing himself to believe that the Dark Lord would give All His glory.

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

Lucius spoke very excitedly, his listless eyes glowed, and his pale and tapered face became sickly flushed.

Narcissa closed her eyes in pain, then she shook her husband's shoulders vigorously, and shouted loudly: "Wake up, please! You and I both know that the task is impossible, he just wants Draco's life! I want to!" Take our lives!"

Her roar even drowned out the noisy portraits, the crackling explosions outside the door, and the wizard's screams.

In his daze, Lucius was still having unrealistic fantasies, but Narcissa had long since woken up from her fantasies. She wanted to protect her family at all costs.

Just when Narcissa persuaded her husband to escape, the bedroom door was slammed open, and Bellatrix rushed in with blood on her robes. Like the hiding Malfoy couple, she has never left the main building of the manor. The difference is that she is guarding the prisoners here. The corpses in the entrance hall are her masterpiece.

"Sissy!" Bellatrix said, "Come with me quickly, and together we will kill all the people who broke in! 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. The sudden push made Bellatrix freeze on the spot, helpless.

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

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

"That is the honor given to Draco by the Dark Lord, and it is 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 it is!"

Hearing his name, Lucius Malfoy slowly looked at Bellatrix. There was no anger or counterattack. He looked just like the lightning in "Zootopia".

"Enough!" Narcissa's voice was sharp and harsh, like the sound of fingernails scratching on a blackboard.

Then she begged: "Bella, let us go, get out of here! Just pretend you don't know anything and haven't seen anything, please!"

Tonight, the Malfoy Manor was in chaos and the fighting was fierce. There was no situation more suitable for the Malfoy couple to escape than this situation. Without any trace of them, one could evade the argument that they were captured by the Ministry of Magic, or they could be said to be missing or dead.

No matter which one you choose, it is safer than continuing to be controlled by Voldemort.

Although there is still a chance for the Malfoy family to turn around, how can the couple place their hopes on an impossible task and on Voldemort's magnanimity?

Bellatrix felt that her sister was crazy. She actually dared to betray the Dark Lord and was dismissive of the Dark Lord's grace. Little did she know that the really crazy person was herself.

Although Bellatrix was also afraid of the Dark Lord, her worship of Voldemort was deeply rooted in her bones. This insane adoration offset her inner fears and made her obsessed with Voldemort's power.

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

Bellatrix, who was more ruthless towards her relatives, finally relented. She did not want to do anything to her blood sister, even though 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 robes and held it up in front of her face threateningly.

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

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

At this time, 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 going on? Are the Black sisters turning against each other? Or is it a bloody house fight? Ada's mind was full of little question marks.

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

After Bellatrix escapes, Narcissa points her wand at Ada.

The dazed Lucius Malfoy finally reacted. He stood up suddenly and rushed to his wife, blocking Narcissa behind him.

"I hate it most in my life when people point magic wands at me." In order to find these two couples, Ada went to great lengths to find them, and naturally there was resentment in her heart.

Lucius Malfoy was still protecting his wife. Although his calves were a little weak, he didn't move back even an inch.

As if he had exhausted all his courage, he said tremblingly: "No harm to my wife and children. Narcissa and Draco are not Death Eaters, only I am - please be noble and let them live."

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

She felt that she looked quite kind-hearted, not the kind of vicious person who would frighten her so much that she couldn't sleep just by looking at him. But why did Bellatrix run away as soon as he saw her, and why did Lucius look like a mouse meeting a cat?

"If you can't hold the wand steady, don't hold it up. It's too tiring." Ada said leisurely.

Looking at Lucius Malfoy's unspeakable expression, Ada was just about to say something more when she heard a loud noise coming from the window, and saw a huge black flame hitting the wizards in the courtyard.

Voldemort is coming!
