Chapter 8: “Malfoy Manor”
The Malfoy Manor at Wiltshire is undoubtedly famous in the wizarding world. As it is the mansion of the wealthy pure-blood Malfoy family.
Armand Malfoy, the progenitor of the Malfoy family, arrived in Britain with William the Conqueror as part of the invading Norman army. Having rendered unknown and shady services to King William I. Malfoy was given a prime piece of land in Wiltshire, seized from local landowners, upon which his descendants lived for ten consecutive centuries.
Malfoy Manor is a handsome manor house surrounded by elaborate gardens, including a fountain. The front door swings inward at a persons approach without anyone visibly opening it. The hallway is large, dimly lit, and sumptuously decorated, with a magnificent carpet covering the floor.
The walls of the entrance hall display pale-faced portraits lining the walls, and at the end of the hall is the bronze-handled door leading to the drawing room.
Various evidence shows that the mansions owner lives a leisurely and luxurious life.
The sunlight shone on the narrow path he was walking, revealing a pale-faced man with a hurried expression.
He hurriedly walked on the path outside the manor through dense and low weeds and tall hedges, but it didnt stop this man.
He finally arrived at the tall, gorgeous iron door before him; he didnt stop there. He continued walking; when he was about to touch the iron gate, he went straight through it, and black smoke appeared.
The man returned to the manor.
Judging from his anxious expression and his little movements show how impatient he is. He had lost his elegance and calmness; he looked around and shouted, Dobby!New novel chapters are published on
..
An explosion could be heard.
Then, a small figure appeared in front of the man. It has bat-like pointed ears, tennis ball-like green eyes, and a long pencil-like nose. It is a House Elf who is loyal to the Malfoy family.
Master! He lowered his head and then asked with a humble expression, Are you looking for Dobby?
Seeing how Dobby is a mess and almost dies before them, she tells him, Enough!
Hearing this, Dobby finally stopped and collapsed on the floor, lying like a dead fish.
What the hell is happening here, dear? The woman asked the man again while tidying his collar.
Because of those books those books that the lord mentioned Ive asked Dobby to give it to the lord but today, the Italian suddenly wrote to me saying there are seven volumes in total, and Dobby got only six volumes
Dad, why do you even want this dumb House Elf to do such an important thing? A boy of the same age as Matthew came over.
The young master of the current Malfoy Manor, Draco Malfoy. In front of him are his father and mother, Lucius Malfoy and Narcissa Malfoy.
He proceeds to kick Dobby, whose lying on the ground lifelessly because he is blocking his way to his father. He then looks at his father curiously.
Because those books are banned by the Ministry of Magic, they cannot pass the inspection of the Department of Mysteries. So the Italian disguised them as The Dark Forces: A Guide to Self-Protection and sent them to Flourish and Blotts Bookseller. Lucius explained.
So I asked Dobby to steal the book and give it to the man, even if he got caught. It wont have anything to do with me, with us! Just the charge of holding the book is enough to send me straight to Azkaban and spend the rest of my life there!
Does that man know how many books are there? Narcissa asked with a slow tone, trying to soothe Lucius.
He He shouldnt know yet Lucius shook his head while trying to recollect himself.
Since he doesnt know yet, just keep it from him. He might not be able to contact the Italian. Narcissa suggested with a low voice, her hands over Luciuss shoulders.
What does that book look like, father? Perhaps I could help you find it! Draco said while proudly putting his hand on his chest.
Draco! Lucius snapped; he looked at Draco with a stern expression, Remember this! That book is not the kind of thing you should touch at all
While looking at Draco straight in the eye, he continues, Those kinds of ancient and mysterious books, when you encounter them, never ever touch them! Let alone use it. Death is waiting for you if you use them or worst.
