Malfoy Manor.

When night falls, the old manor always looks eerie and terrifying.

At least in the eyes of Muggles.

There are too many legends handed down in the Middle Ages.

Werewolves, vampires, wizards and witches, all unknown origins come from manors or castles, and mysterious forces always control the richest areas.

Tonight, though, the old manor is not destined to be peaceful.

The night breeze blew away the dark clouds, and a ray of moonlight poured into the manor.

The cold Qinghui illuminated the manor, and hidden in the darkness, there were many magical species.

Twinkle by flash, in the bushes of the garden, the flower fairies began their work.

A bunch of cute little guys.

Abruptly, at the door of the manor, it was like the sound of a whip twitching, with a crisp pop in the silence of the night.

"Damn it, what Lucius wants to do!"

An angry voice came, and it was two men in wizard robes.

"Oh, Alex, you were called by Lucius too?"

"Antonin Dolohov!" Alexton paused, "I didn't think you were here, Lucius was up to something!And Bellatrix, that crazy woman caused the Dark Lord to destroy Gringotts, I just made a deal with Gringotts! Damn! these two bastards ......"

"I've heard of the destruction of Gringotts, but ...... Why?"

"Potter's friends, that boy's henchmen broke into Gringotts and stole the Dark Lord's stuff from Bellatrix's vault!" Alex said, "According to the news that my men came back, they went in with Bellatrix's key, that damn madman, can't he even do such a little thing?"

"Oh well, I'm weird, the Dark Lord didn't pursue ......"

"Lestrange is gone!" Alex said, "I was about to ask if the Dark Lord had Bellatrix stay in the care of the prisoners at Malfoy Manor, if Lucius didn't give a reasonable explanation today......"

Suddenly, two more figures appeared at the door of the manor.

"Hey, Goyle!

"Alex, Antonin, you're here too?" said Crabbe curiously, "I received news from Lucius......

"So, Lucius still thinks this is the past?" Alex's displeasure was written on his face, which made his whole person look a little gloomy, "He'd better explain what he's going to do by calling us here tonight, or I'm afraid I'll have to ask the Dark Lord to go through all the stupid things he's done!"

Alex took a step forward, and the door to the manor opened automatically.

A group of four people went straight to the hall.

Crabbe and Goyle were a little uneasy.

Everyone knew that their family and Malfoy had been the closest, especially during the period when the Dark Lord disappeared, they were almost in the same position as Malfoy, but right now, Lucius was not in a good situation.

Alex is the leader of the Ministry of Magic, and this conflicts with Lucius's own role, not to mention, two days ago, the Dark Lord wiped out Gringotts regardless of the loss, and Malfoy was among them.

Now Malfoy's house is a leaky house, and it collapsed the day it was not kept.

"Lucius!

As soon as they entered the hall, a long table was placed in front of everyone.

They've had quite a few meetings here, but every time in the name of the Dark Lord!

And now, Lucius was sitting at the end of the table, and Lucius held his head high and looked coldly at the people who came in.

"Alex, Crabbe, Goyle, and Antonin, you can sit down for a while, the meeting hasn't started yet......"

"Meeting, did the Dark Lord ask you to summon us?" Alex said, looking at Lucius disapprovingly.

"Not really!"

"Isn't it?" Alex raised his voice, "You'd better give me an explanation, Lucius!"

"You'll find out later!" Lucius said unhurriedly, as if back to twenty years ago when Lucius was still helping the Dark Lord take charge of the Death Eaters.

"So, now, what are you doing sitting there!"

"What for?" Lucius raised his voice, "This is Malfoy Manor, and I'm the master here!"

Lucius stood up and looked at Alex coldly, "If you are not satisfied, you can leave, no one will force you to stay, but I only hope that you will not regret it when the time comes." ”

"What the hell are you doing, Lucius, I'm too busy to hang out with you here!"

"The door is there, Alex!" Lucius said calmly, not showing any mood swings.

"Narcissa......" Lucius looked at his wife with a pale face.

Get an up-close feel for just how powerful Voldemort really is, and Gringotts is a good example of this.

Unlike Azkaban's salvation, this kind of death, which is like being deprived of time, makes Lucius unable to avoid any possibility in his heart.

What have these lunatics done?

Pretending to be Bellatrix?, then infiltrating Gringotts and stealing Gringotts' treasures?

What is that gold cup?

Again, the crux of the matter lies with Bellatrix......

Bellatrix evaporated from the world, including all the Death Eaters in the Malfoy family......

How should this be explained to the Dark Lord?

And what will the Dark Lord do to them?

"No, I can't tell the Dark Lord about this......" Lucius' mind spun rapidly, "Bella...... Bellatrix was attacked by Al Vanlin in the wilderness and ...... And then tragically died......"

"Narcissa!" Lucius shouted, Voldemort left Gringotts in a hurry and didn't have time to care about them, this was definitely an opportunity.

Almost running, Lucius slammed the door of his hall open.

"Narcissa, Narcissa, come out!"

"What's wrong, dear?" Narcissa hurriedly ran out from behind, having been worried ever since Potter and the others had been at Malfoy Manor.

Bellatrix's body lay in the ice cellar underground, which made Narcissa uneasy, and every night she could dream of Bella, who kept asking her why she didn't kill that guy back, why didn't she inform the Dark Lord, why......

It was visible to the naked eye that Narcissa had lost a few laps of weight.

"Narcissa, something is wrong!" Lucius gasped, "Black...... The Dark Lord has destroyed Gringotts!"

"Gringotts, those elves?" Narcissa was relieved when she heard this, "Why did those arrogant goblins make the Dark Lord angry?"

"Vanlin Eyre assumed the identity of Bellatrix and broke into the vaults of Gringotts...... The Dark Lord was angry, and then he was destroyed......"

"Bella!" Narcissa squealed, like a frightened bird, "pretending to be Bella?"

"Yes, impersonating Bella and snatching a cup from her treasury. ”

"Cup, what cup?"

"I don't know, but the Dark Lord ...... The key is...... That's Bella!" Lucius said bitterly, "they assumed Bella's identity, but Bella has always been at Malfoy Manor, and the Dark Lord will definitely be on our side...... Gringotts has been destroyed, the goblins and the buildings, everything has turned to dust......"

"Calm down...... Lucius...... Calm down......"

Surprisingly, Narcissa was the first to calm down, maybe this is the ability of a woman, or maybe the recent events have completely overwhelmed Lucius's mental defenses.

He had to think.

The Dark Lord was like a sword hanging over his head at all times.

The ranks of the Death Eaters have disappeared a lot of people.

Not just wizards, but also vampires, werewolves, giants and even dementors...... Everyone chosen by the Dark Lord has vanished completely, entering the damned forbidden place that stenges of blood all day long, or disappear into the Ministry of Magic......

Lucius was afraid, afraid that the next person to go would be him or Narcissa or Draco......

And judging by what he has done, the Malfoy family is no longer allowed to make mistakes after mistakes.

And then there was Bella......

Bella and a bunch of Death Eaters were killed by Potter and his party at Malfoy Manor. Except for a few members of the Malfoy family, who remained.

"Lucius, listen to me, Lucius dear, it's not you, we'll figure out a way......"

Narcissa held Lucius's face in her hand, and I don't know when it started, Lucius began to grow a beard.

The deep-set eye sockets and lake-green eyes also became dim......

The Malfoy family is old......

"Yes, I will...... I'll think of a way......" Lucius said, "but we'...... We should have Draco ......"

"Honey, we can't send Draco away. Narcissa took a deep breath and said, "We can't escape, including Draco, if that mark doesn't get rid of it......"

"Mark! Damn mark!" Lucius slashed and pulled out a silver knife to stab himself in the arm.

In the past, this was his confidence and glory, but now, this Dark Mark has become a talisman, with the power of the Dark Lord......

"When this is over, I think Draco should go back to Hogwarts. Lucius's lips trembled as he said, his right hand a little weakly throwing the silver knife on the floor, "Severus will take care of him, he shouldn't leave anywhere!"

"That's all for later, my dear ......," Narcissa said, taking Lucius' hand and sitting down in his chair.

Narcissa's hand was as cold as she was holding Bella......

Lucius let go of his hand like an electric shock, he shuddered for a moment, a look of fear and pain appeared on his face, and then the next second, he held Narcissa tightly in his arms.

"I don't want to lose you, Cissy...... Lucius said, burying his face in Narcissa's hair.

"I destroyed the Dark Lord's Horcrux, which is the life of the Dark Lord...... There are so many more tasks that I get wrong all the time......"

"But you've been supporting our family, my dear!"

Narcissa lost her mind when she heard Cissy call her, Lucius hadn't called her that for a long time, only her sister still called herself.
