Chapter 41: Infighting (I)
The door immediately opened.
"Keep up!" Greyback said to his men. The prisoners were pushed through the gate and onto the driveway, with tall hedges on either side masking their footsteps. Harry saw a ghostly white shadow above his head, and then realized that it was a white peacock. He tripped and was dragged up by Greyback. Now he staggered sideways, tied back to back with the other prisoners. He closed his swollen eyes and prayed in his heart for a miracle.
"Don't be struggling, hurry!" Greyback shoved Harry roughly, as they walked down a gravel road.
"What's the matter?" asked a woman in a cold voice.
"We're here to meet our master!" replied Greyback in a rough voice. "We caught Harry Potter. ”
"Who are you?"
"You know me!" the werewolf's voice revealed resentment, "Fenrir Greyback!
Greyback grabbed Harry and dragged him over to face the light, forcing the other prisoners to follow suit.
"I know he's swollen, ma'am, but it's him!" said Scabio, "and if you look closer, you can see his scars." And here, look at this red hair, it should be the missing youngest son of the Weasley family, ma'am. There is no doubt that it is him. ”
Through the gap in her swollen eyelids, Harry raised her eyebrows when she saw Narcissa Malfoy examining his swollen face.
"You should know the results of the lie. Narcissa Malfoy pursed her lips.
"Yes, ma'am, but we are absolutely sure. Greyback said.
"In that case, let's bring it in. She said.
Harry and the others were pushed and kicked up the wide stone steps into the foyer with portraits on either side.
"Follow me. Narcissa said, leading them through the foyer, "My son Draco is at home, he has graduated from Hogwarts early. If it was Harry Potter, he would have recognized it. ”
After spending a long time in the darkness outside, the lights in the living room are dazzling. Harry's eyes were almost closed, but he could tell the size of the room. Crystal chandeliers hang from the ceiling, and more portraits hang from the dark purple walls. As the prisoners were forcibly pushed forward by the search team, two figures rose from their seats in front of the ornate marble fireplace.
"What's going on?"
A terrifyingly familiar lazy voice entered Harry's ears, it was Lucius Malfoy! Harry was now panicking, and it seemed that there was no way out.
"They said they caught Potter," Narcissa's cold voice said, "Draco, come here." ”
Harry didn't dare to look Draco in the eye, but squinted at him: a figure slightly taller than him stood up from his armchair, a pale blond hair with a pale and thin blurred face.
Greyback pushed the prisoner around again, in order to get Harry to stand directly below the chandelier.
"How's it going, boy?" roared the werewolf.
Harry was facing the mirror on the fireplace, a large gilded mirror with a delicate cartouche on the frame. Through the gaps in his eyes, he saw himself in the mirror.
His face was enormous, shiny and red, and all of his facial features were distorted by his own bee stinging charm. With black hair draped over his shoulders and a black shadow around his mouth, Harry felt like he didn't recognize himself. He made up his mind not to speak, for the sound would surely expose him.
Draco approached, but Harry still avoided making eye contact with him.
"How's it going, Draco?" Lucius Malfoy's voice was a little lazy, "It's Harry. Potter? I don't think it's like it, do you think it looks like it?"
"How is that possible! This is Harry Potter. Greyback yelled.
"Shut up, werewolf, you figure out where you're talking to whom. Lucius Malfoy squinted at Greyback.
"Father, I don't think he's like Harry Potter. Draco said with a strange smile.
He kept a distance from Greyback, as if there was some stench on him.
"Look closer, look closer!"
"Please stay away from me with that ugly bastard. Draco Malfoy was as unceremonious as his father.
Harry was glad they had an inside bar.
"How is that possible! I see, you must be trying to take my credit!" Greyback yelled as he grabbed Harry, "you want me to let Harry Potter go, and then you give him over to his master!"
"Shut up, werewolf. Lucius Malfoy raised his wand, "I think it was a mistake on my wife's way to let you into the manor, you don't even count as a full member of us, werewolf." If you scream any more, I don't mind killing you here. ”
"Then let's try it!" said Greyback, furious. "I want to see the master!"
"Hey, Greyback, calm down. Skappio and the rest of the team pulled out their wands, but instead of pointing at Lucius, they pointed at their own commander, Greyback. (To be continued......)
