Chapter 39 Snape Returns(1/2)
Malfoy Manor.
Draco is running.
He bypassed the tall yew hedge, causing the white peacock that was strolling gracefully on the top of the hedge to look sideways and chirp twice.
Unfortunately, Draco ignored it.
He ran along the straight driveway and rushed into a luxurious mansion surrounded by fountains and gardens.
A luxurious carpet covers almost the entire foyer floor.
Draco didn't care that he had just come back from outside and hadn't changed his shoes yet.
He just stepped on it with his muddy feet and rushed straight to the living room. Under the gaze of the pale portraits on the wall, he pushed open a heavy wooden door.
"Mother--"
Draco shouted excitedly.
This living room is large and the decoration is very old and noble.
A roaring fire burned in the ornate marble fireplace, which illuminated the room. Above the fireplace was a gilded mirror.
Narcissa and Lucius were instructing the house elves to push the usual furniture in the room to the wall and place a long, elegantly decorated table in the center of the living room.
Hearing Draco's voice, the two of them turned around.
"Is the Dark Lord coming to our house today... today?"
Draco said breathlessly.
There was joy in his voice.
In comparison, Narcissa and Lucius's expressions were not very good-looking.
Lucius looked pale, lowered his head and said nothing.
Narcissa hugged her son, kissed him gently on the forehead and said:
"Yes, Draco, the Dark Lord is going to set up Malfoy Manor as the Death Eater headquarters. He will live here permanently from now on... and today, he will gather all the Death Eaters here,
Announce something."
"Very good!"
Draco said loudly, "I have grown up listening to the stories of the Dark Lord! Now I can finally see him! This is our honor!"
Hearing this, Narcissa and Lucius both had wry smiles on their faces.
Draco really admired the Dark Lord.
This is all their fault.
If they hadn't been instilling in Draco the idea of 'pure blood supremacy' and listening to the story of the Dark Lord, Draco would never have had such an idea.
However, in reality the Dark Lord is simply a tyrant!
Live with him at Malfoy Manor.
Lucius and Narcissa felt horrified just thinking about this kind of thing.
God knows if they accidentally angered Voldemort later, would they be killed directly?
The background of their Malfoy family is not clean.
During the last gathering, if John hadn't helped to intercede, Lucius would have been in trouble.
"When I see the Dark Lord later, I will definitely tell him about John!"
Draco shouted angrily, "The accusations against him by the Ministry of Magic are completely slanderous! We cannot vindicate John with our own strength, but it is different now. The Dark Lord is back! As long as he uses his power, John can
The injustice has been brought to light!
Oh, and mom, when will the Dark Lord come?"
"It's coming soon!"
A high-pitched voice suddenly sounded.
When the Malfoy family heard the news, they saw Bella, dressed in fine clothes, walking quickly into the living room with her head slightly raised and a slightly crazy smile on her face.
"Draco! My nephew!"
She held Draco's face and looked at it carefully, "Oh my God! You are so beautiful! I can see that you have fully inherited Sissy's beauty!"
"B...Aunt Bella."
Draco said hello, but his tone was a bit stiff and awkward.
His impression of Bella was not good.
Because he always felt that his aunt was a little crazy.
Fortunately, Narcissa came up quickly to help him out.
"Bella, come on, come here quickly."
Narcissa lowered her voice and said anxiously, "Do you know...why the Dark Lord moved the Death Eater headquarters to Malfoy Manor? Wasn't the original Black House very nice..."
"Of course this is because the Dark Lord values the Malfoy family!" Bella frowned, "What's wrong? Sissy, and Lucius, don't you welcome the Dark Lord?"
"No no no!"
Lucius hurriedly denied, "Of course we welcome it...or to be more precise, we are ecstatic!"
Bella nodded with satisfaction and said:
"Then prepare to meet the Dark Lord! They have arrived!"
After saying that, Bella pulled Narcissa to move away from the door.
Draco also adjusted his clothes and waited expectantly and nervously.
It doesn't take long.
Barty Jr. and a group of Death Eaters appeared first.
They were uniformly dressed in black robes, with sneers on their faces, looking around in the foyer.
They were not polite when they entered the living room, and some of them even smiled evilly at the Malfoy family.
Draco's breathing had become a little rapid.
Because he found that this was a little different from what he imagined.
The Death Eaters in front of them exuded a strong sense of malice.
And this malice seems to be directed at them!
This made him feel strongly uneasy.
And this is just the beginning.
After entering the living room, the Death Eaters did not sit down directly, but stood on both sides of the long table, as if waiting for something.
And soon, another series of slight footsteps came from the hall.
Draco's eyes widened as he and the other Death Eaters looked around.
Then he saw a man shrouded in a black silk robe walking slowly towards him.
His skin was very pale and seemed to glow like a pearl.
He has no hair, looks like a snake, has two slender nostrils, a pair of shining red eyes, and his orifice is vertical.
Just looking into those eyes, Draco felt like he was about to suffocate.
There is no doubt that this is the Dark Lord!
Draco wanted to bow.
But his whole body was stiff and he couldn't move at all.
This feeling was just like when he was petrified by the basilisk in his second grade.
No!
Scarier than that!
Because as Voldemort approached step by step, Draco also felt an indescribable murderous aura and oppressive force emanating from the other man's body.
Stimulated by that breath, every cell in Draco's body seemed to be shouting to him:
Run away!
"Lucius, is this your son?"
Voldemort stared at Draco.
"Yes Master."
Lucius bowed his head respectfully and saluted.
By the way, he also hid Draco behind him.
To be continued...
