The glass on the surface of the glass case is not purely transparent, and thousands of animal ornaments of different shapes are painted on it in a special way.

The lines drawn are light and translucent, almost the same color as glass, and it is difficult to spot if you don't look closely.

If Evan were here, he would have told Harry that it was an alchemical artifact!

Only one of these patterns is a switch that turns on the trap, and if the wrong method is used or the wrong pattern is selected, a spell or alarm will be triggered.

Malfoy would know that someone had broken in.

Harry let his wand shine again, and he leaned close to the glass case to examine it closely, but there were so many animals on the glass that there were so many shapes and shapes that he couldn't look at it, and he couldn't find the peacock that Dobby was talking about, in fact, he couldn't even tell how many birds were peacocks or other creatures.

Because they are not so vivid and concrete, but a little abstract.

He wasn't sure, maybe he could try tapping it with his wand.

"Don't you understand, Cissy, the Dark Lord is angry, he must be holding a grudge now, Bellatrix can't help us, look at her now, she's lost something important to the Dark Lord, like ...... In short, she's finished, and we have to figure out how to do it ourselves, otherwise we may be the ones who die next time. Yes, there is no other choice, there has to be a way. A man's lazy voice rang out in the hallway on the right.

Harry's movements stopped abruptly, he was all too familiar with the sound, it was Lucius Malfoy's voice.

They were already very close to here, just outside the hall.

Harry was panicking now, now was not the time to look for peacocks, he had to find a place to hide, he looked back, it was too late to run back to the hallway he had just entered, and almost without hesitation, Harry dodged behind a large gilded mirror at the other end of the fireplace.

There is still some space between the back of the mirror and the wall, so as long as you don't deliberately walk over and look inside, you shouldn't be noticed.

As soon as he entered, he saw the Malfoys walk into the hall, Harry held his breath, he wasn't sure if he was fast enough, because Draco Malfoy had been staring in the direction of the mirror, as if he had found something, maybe he saw his own flashing figure. Harry had to admit that he had been thrilled to hear that Dobby could take his apparition to Malfoy Manor with him, and that he was a little unprepared for the operation.

From this side, he could see the voice slightly higher than his, and a pale and thin, vague face beneath the pale blonde hair.

Harry was a little afraid to look at him, for fear Malfoy would notice.

But Malfoy only looked in the mirror for a moment, and didn't come, and didn't seem to notice Harry.

"Lucius, stop talking about this in front of the kids!" Narcissa said coldly, standing behind Draco.

"Draco is no longer a child, the situation is already terrible now, keep going, the Dark Lord may kill us first. ”

"Why did he kill us? We are supporting his ......"

"Didn't you see the massacre last night, and who of the people he killed yesterday wasn't his supporters?!" Lucius asked rhetorically, pausing for a moment, "The current situation is that I messed up something important, and the Dark Lord was punishing me by letting Draco kill Dumbledore before." ”

"But I've done it!" Draco said, "though Snape took the lead in the end, and he took the credit for me......"

"Draco, you should be thankful to Severus! you don't understand what it means to kill Dumbledore. ”

"But ......"

"Draco, remember the conversation between the two of us that night?" Lucius asked sternly.

Draco muttered a few words and stopped talking.

"In short, without Dumbledore, the Dark Lord would have no scruples, and with what I know about him, he won't forgive us easily. Lucius continued, pausing for a moment, as if in deep thought, as if muttering, "No, he certainly won't forgive us." ”

"Just grab Evan Mason and Harry Potter and hand them over to the Dark Lord, and everything will be forgiven!" Narcissa said, "Bella told me so, we have no choice now, maybe the Weasley boy down there will know where those two boys are! Even if we don't, we can use him to lure those two boys out, the Weasley boy is a friend of the two of them, and they will certainly not stand idly by." ”

Harry pricked up his ears as they mentioned Ron, who was indeed locked up here.

"Perhaps......" Lucius didn't seem interested in Narcissa's plan.

"Lucius, what the hell do you think, there are no outsiders here!" Narcissa said, unhappy with Lucius's attitude, "You don't agree with Bella's plan? You don't seem to want to catch those two boys? Do you have other plans? Do you want to keep it a secret from me and Draco?"

"Alright, Sicy, I just have an idea. Lucius said slowly, "The Malfoy family has been able to stand for thousands of years, not by anyone, we rely on ourselves, although supporting the rise of the Dark Lord and restoring the glory of pureblood is a plan made by my father's generation, but they certainly did not anticipate the current situation." In fact, the Dark Lord is doing a terrible kind of black magic, and I can't be sure what that black magic is, but if he is allowed to do it...... If he is allowed to do it, it will get quite bad, and I suspect that we will lose far more horrors than we will gain by then!"

"Lucius, you—you're not going to think ......"

"Don't think about it, Sicy, I'm a supporter of the Dark Lord, all the time. Lucius lowered his voice and said, "But unlike fanatical Death Eaters like Bellatrix, Malfoy should have had his own ideas, just like the decisions we made that night twenty years ago." ”

There was silence as Harry saw through the crack that Lucius and Narcissa were staring at each other, as if in silent communication.

But he quickly retracted his head, as Draco Malfoy seemed to be interested in the mirror and was walking in this direction.

After a long time, Narcissa finally asked, "What should we do now?"

"Do what Death Eaters are supposed to do. Lucius replied, "Draco, Hogwarts is going to change a lot this semester, you don't have to be too active in these things, you can do what the other Slytherin students do." If anything goes wrong, go to Snape, who is now the Headmaster of Hogwarts. ”

"He doesn't trust me at all!" Draco grumbled, as he came to the mirror.

Harry could feel his breath, the two of them were no more than two steps apart now, with only a mirror resting.

"Severus can be trusted!" Lucius said in a non-chakrable tone, "he helped you last semester!"
