The decoration of this room was a bit old, but it was quite large and clean, but Esther still had reasonable doubts that Aberforth had overcharged her.

There was no point in arguing about it at the moment, so she waved her wand and cleaned the room thoroughly again.

Just stayed here.

Without his father who has been catching him studying, he felt a little uncomfortable with the free time.

She subconsciously touched her pocket, and then realized that the double-sided mirror was broken.

Sighing silently, she touched the bracelet on her hand, wondering how Draco was doing now.

On the other side of Malfoy Manor, Draco was also thinking of her.

He and his parents ate lunch in silence, and the whole family was not in a good mood.

Draco was worried about Esther, and his parents had just had a big fight with Bella.

The reason was that Bella asked Draco to identify Potter that day, but he was soft-hearted and said some specious words, which resulted in him not handing over Potter to the Dark Lord immediately. In the end, with the help of Dobby, Potter and his gang escaped.

The Dark Lord was furious when he learned about this incident, and all of them were implicated. Later, Bella came to settle the score with the Malfoy family.

She did not doubt that Della let Potter go on purpose, but she felt that he was too indecisive. Otherwise, catching Potter would not only help the Dark Lord solve a serious problem in his heart, but also accomplish great feats, which would further enhance their status in the Dark Lord's heart. .

In the end, everything was ruined. Not only did he not make any merit, but he became the party at fault.

Of course Bella was angry.

Of course, Narcissa would not let others accuse her son, even if that person was her biological sister. As a result, a fierce quarrel broke out between the sisters, and even Lucius couldn't get a word in and could only offer some dry advice.

In the end, the quarrel became so intense that they even picked up their wands and attacked each other several times, which made Lucius and Draco next to them very nervous.

They wanted to help, but Lucius's wand was taken by Voldemort, and Draco's wand was also snatched away by Harry Potter. Both father and son lost their wands and could not help, so they could only worry.

Fortunately, Bella is usually crazy, but she still has some sense for her sister. In the end, she stopped first, said a few harsh words, and left angrily.

After Bella left, Narcissa quickly calmed down her emotions. Although her aura was still a little dull, her expression was calm and her speech and behavior were the same as before.

"Draco, you have to remember that the more critical the moment, the more rational you must be. Panic will only lead you into deeper misfortune."

After Bella left, Narcissa said to him earnestly.

Draco seemed to be meeting his mother for the first time.

Everything today, or rather everything his mother did since the Malfoys lost power, surprised him.

Unexpectedly, in the most critical time, it was not the father who was the head of the family, nor him, but the usually gentle and virtuous mother who supported everything.

"Draco, tell me the truth, did you let Potter go on purpose that day or were you really unsure?"

In Malfoy Manor, even if their family's living space is squeezed, they don't have to worry about being heard by others if they say something quietly.

It is said that a child is better than his mother. Narcissa didn't say anything at first, but actually she felt a little strange in her heart. She waited until no one was around before asking him.

Draco pursed his lips and looked at his parents.

Since Voldemort's return, his parents have become visibly haggard. Looking at their concerned eyes, Draco seemed to have made up his mind and said, "Mom and dad, do you think our life was good before the Dark Lord returned?" , or will our life be better after he returns?"

The answer is obvious, of course, that the Dark Lord was at ease before he returned, but it was impossible for Lucius to say this.

His eyes changed and he looked at Draco seriously: "Don't say such things to other people. If it reaches the ears of the Dark Lord, our family will anger him again."

Draco smiled. Of course he was afraid of Voldemort, but he was even more afraid of not being able to be with Esther. Every minute and every second he was separated from her was torture for him. They had experienced so much ups and downs, if What a pity it would be if we couldn't have a good ending.

"But I deliberately didn't identify Potter." His tone was quite calm. After opening the door, he found that some decisions were not that difficult to make.

Narcissa and Lucius opposite him looked nervous at the same time after he said these words. Even though they knew it was safe and no one would eavesdrop on their conversation, the couple still carefully checked their surroundings.

"Why did you let Potter go? Do you know that if we had caught Potter that day, we would have been able to take the blame, and the Dark Lord would have forgiven us, and we could have returned to our original lives!"

Lucius stood up excitedly, pressed his shoulder and spoke in a low voice, his tone fierce and full of incomprehension.

Draco looked at his father. He had grown to be as tall as his father. When he was a child, he thought his father was extremely powerful and he had always admired and longed for him. Therefore, he imitated his father in every word and deed, inherited his ideas, and learned from his behavior.

And now he has grown up.

His growth path was painful and depressing, full of death and blood. He didn't want to grow up so quickly, but he had no choice.

If Esther hadn't supported him all the way, he wouldn't have known where he would have ended up.

He learned to think proactively, and it was undeniable that some of Esther's actions also affected him, so he no longer admired his father and had different feelings about some of his choices.

Therefore, at this time, he could look at his father calmly and said word by word: "Because I don't think following the Dark Lord is the right thing to do. He is like a madman. Even if we are caught today because of Bo I have become his confidant, but tomorrow I may be directly executed by him for irritating him with other things. I want my life to be in my own hands, instead of just begging for a chance of survival."

Lucius' expression was extremely strange. He seemed not to have expected his son to say such a thing, and for a moment he didn't know how to speak.

Draco ignored his expression and continued: "So Dad, I don't want to be loyal to the Dark Lord. Without him, I should complete my final studies in school at this time instead of becoming a murderer when I am a minor. !”

"Draco!" Lucius interrupted him loudly and pale, as if he was awakened by a burst of thunder: "How could you think so? How could you think so? This..."

"However, even if you help Potter now, he may not be able to defeat the Dark Lord, and even if he wins in the end, he may not win our favor."

Narcissa looked calmer than Lucius. She looked at her son with the same complicated expression and asked softly.

"I don't need him to accept my favor. Someone will naturally help me."

Draco thought of Esther, who had been trying to pull him out of this quagmire.
