The room was silent.

Esther didn't know whether Umbridge was dead or alive, but she probably wouldn't survive.

She never wanted to kill someone, but now she couldn't help it. She showed mercy to Umbridge, but the other party would not let her go just because she showed mercy.

She was panting, the pain in her back was almost numb. She didn't know how much blood she had lost. She could only feel dizziness in front of her eyes. If it weren't for the hard support of her will, she would have fainted from the pain.

No one spoke around. Esther walked towards Snape step by step with heavy steps. Everyone looked at her, as if curious about what she wanted to do.

"Professor, thank you for your wand."

She finally walked up to Snape, stretched out her hand and handed him the wand, her tone as soft as if a gust of wind could blow him away.

Snape looked at her with a complicated expression and slowly took the wand.

"Very good! His ability to control magic at such a young age is indeed outstanding."

Only then did Voldemort speak, and he seemed to admire her. Esther's eyes met his, and at that moment, she immediately realized that Voldemort was using Legilimency on her!

Turn off unnecessary emotions and hide the memories that he cannot know, about the prophecy, about Harry, about Dumbledore, about Draco...

She resisted with all her strength calmly. In just a few seconds, it seemed like a lifetime. She felt that her whole body was cold and she could no longer notice the pain in her body.

She is just an ordinary Hufflepuff student. Because she and the savior Harry Potter are in the same school, they know each other. She is warm and kind. Apart from her excellent studies, she is not much different from all the students in Hogwarts.

She also practiced Legilimency with her father during the summer vacation. She was able to resist Crouch Jr. when she was in the third grade, and of course she can resist Voldemort now.

Voldemort withdrew his thoughts and was quite satisfied with her performance. He was about to say something, but Esther could no longer hold on and passed out.

Her consciousness began to fade and she fell into darkness.

It seemed like she had had a long dream, but when she woke up she could not remember what she had dreamed about. When she opened her eyes, she found that she was not in a dungeon, but in a room she had never seen before.

It was extremely dark all around. She moved with difficulty, and there was a heartbreaking pain in her back, which made her scream in pain.

"Are you awake?" A familiar voice came from my ears.

Bella, dressed in black, stood beside the bed, staring at her with interest.

Esther immediately narrowed her eyes warily and asked, "What do you want to do here?"

"Don't be so nervous." She stepped forward, stretched out her wand, and slightly raised Esther's chin, as if she was observing her appearance carefully.

"The master has decided to forgive you of your usual sins. You are indeed lucky, little one."

Esther twitched the corners of her mouth and said nothing.

What sin did she have that Voldemort needed to forgive?

But she also knew that she couldn't show disdain. The girl in front of her was Voldemort's number one fan. If she found out that she was disrespectful to Voldemort, another accident would definitely happen.

So she remained silent.

"I'm talking to you, didn't you hear me?"

Bella was a little dissatisfied with her silent attitude.

Esther had no choice but to say, "I have a sore throat."

Of course, Bella didn't believe her nonsense. The corner of her mouth twitched, and she didn't have the same understanding as her. She picked up the medicine next to her and waved her wand to change her medicine.

Esther was so flattered that she subconsciously dodged, but Bella glared at her fiercely: "Don't move!"

Esther didn't dare to move anymore and let her help her change the medicine.

She was seriously injured and basically lost her ability to move. Since she is willing to help him change his dressing, let's change it.

Esther became a mute who couldn't speak again. She didn't resist and allowed Bella to change his dressing.

After changing the dressing, Bella glanced at her and said, "After the injury is healed, the master will summon you again."

Then her injury won't be healed so easily.

Esther was silent, thinking about how to slow down the healing of the wound. She also counted the time. Harry and the others were coming to Malfoy Manor soon. Maybe he could follow them as soon as he heard them coming. Get out of here together.

"Why are you so dazed? Bella seemed very dissatisfied with the fact that she didn't speak. He glared at her coldly again, and was about to say something ugly when he suddenly noticed something and his expression changed.

"How could you have this thing?"

Bella directly grabbed her wrist and pulled off the bracelet on her hand: "It has Malfoy's badge on it, how can you have it?"

Esther panicked. She never thought that such a small bracelet would be discovered by Bella.

"Sissy!" Bella shouted anxiously outside, and then Narcissa approached the room with an unhappy look on her face: "What's wrong, Bella?"

"Why did this thing appear in her hand?" Bella asked Narcissa anxiously.

"What is it that deserves your fuss..." Narcissa didn't recognize what it was at first, but she realized it halfway through her words, and then her expression changed.

"What's wrong, mom, what are you arguing about?"

Draco's voice interrupted. He had been paying attention to the situation here, so he rushed over as soon as there was a problem.

An idea flashed in Bella's eyes, and she quickly grabbed Draco's hand, and sure enough she saw Esther's exact same bracelet on his wrist. What else didn't she understand now?

Bella smiled coldly, threw the bracelet from Esther's hand into Draco's arms, and asked: "Now please explain to me, why is she wearing the same bracelet as you? There is something on it. Your Malfoy family crest?"

Draco's expression changed. He grabbed the bracelet and was about to say something. Esther had already stood up with difficulty and said in a calm tone: Is this the Malfoy family crest? This was the first time I knew that I bought a bracelet at Knockturn Alley. The stall owner lied to me and said that the bracelet could bring good luck. It seemed that I was deceived by her. "

Of course Bella didn't believe it, she smiled sarcastically: "Do you think I'm a three-year-old child? That you can fool me?"

Narcissa had closed the door as they spoke, making sure no one else could hear their conversation.

"Bella!" Narcissa's tone was not very good: "It's just a bracelet. Maybe it was left outside at some time. Why do you care so much?"

She was not speaking for Esther, but for his precious son.

But unfortunately her defense was of no use, because Draco had already walked up to Esther with the bracelet, stretched out his hand and put the bracelet on her again.

With warm fingers, he put it on expressionlessly under Esther's surprised gaze, and then held her hand without letting go.

"Draco! What are you doing?" Narcissa called his name angrily.

"Mom, Aunt Bella." Draco turned his head to look at them and said word by word: "Yes, Ess is my girlfriend."
