HP in the name of Slytherin

Flashback to the Malfoy family's chaotic Christmas party.

This banquet was definitely the most outrageous of all the banquets Narcissa had ever attended, and things started going wrong in the second half of the cocktail party.

It was her fiancé who first took her to greet Miss Slytherin. After greeting Catherine, he should theoretically have accompanied Catherine in the whole way, but he took her aside for a short distance.

"What's wrong Luke?" Narcissa thought there was some secret problem at the party that she, the future little Mrs. Malfoy, needed to deal with.

Because Lucius's expression was visibly nervous when facing her alone: ​​"Sissi, listen to me..."

He looked at the girl seriously. When the girl looked up, she could see the reluctance and determination in the eyes of her beloved boy.

"I suddenly remembered a joke," he pretended to smile lightly and told her in a pleasant voice, "Some people say that if any accident or danger occurs, the safest place is where Dumbledore and Miss Slytherin are. Hogwarts, have you ever heard of that?"

Narcissa subconsciously grasped Lucius's hand.

Lucius smiled and patted her, calmly waving to say hello when someone passed by.

It seemed like they were just a young couple sharing fun things here.

"I guess you haven't heard of it." Lucius put her hand in his arm, looking like she was holding him on weekdays. "You are at home during the holidays. I guess you have a lot of fun things." I don’t know, you and Andromeda, neither of you like to go out."

Narcissa followed his footsteps and walked forward with him. After a while, she turned her head to Lucius and said, "I know... Andromeda and I really don't go out much."

Lucius gently trimmed her hair, "That's good. The weather is bad now and it's inconvenient to go out."

Narcissa wanted to ask Lucius what happened, why he reminded her to run to Hogwarts if there was danger... and reminded her to ask Andromeda for help if she couldn't.

Does he know what happened to Andromeda?

Yesterday, Bella and Andromeda had an argument for unknown reasons. They both took out their wands and started attacking each other. Their parents were very angry, but they only locked Andromeda in the attic... No questions were allowed, and no one was allowed to visit, not even the dinner party. She was not allowed to come out.

With great worry, Narcissa kept observing her surroundings carefully after entering the venue.

Although it feels unimaginable, who dares to mess around at the Malfoy family's banquet? The guests here today, in addition to those from the Ministry of Magic, are Death Eaters. Many of the former have business dealings with the Malfoy family, or are simply supported by the Malfoy family. The latter's Uncle Abraxas's status among the Death Eaters Second only to Lord Voldemort.

After eliminating all impossible factors, the final answer is incredible, but it seems to be the only truth... Is the Malfoy family going to betray the wizarding world or the Death Eaters?

Speaking of which, the Death Eaters were also very strange. Narcissa remembered that some families had a very bad relationship before. The young wizards didn't even look at each other at Hogwarts. Why did it seem like the parents had reconciled? Still standing quite close?

Narcissa observed silently and found that the Death Eaters seemed to be surrounding the central position intentionally or unintentionally. This change became more obvious after Abraxas spoke.

Lord Voldemort introduced Catherine to everyone, but it seemed that Catherine had brought someone very special with her. The boy who was said to be her brother actually made Lord Voldemort's face change.

Narcissa was one of the few who dared to observe Voldemort's expression, and one of the few who could see some emotion from his messy face. She didn't admire him, and she wasn't interested in any of his ideas or slogans, so she didn't have any filter. Narcissa felt that Voldemort seemed a little...scared?

Things began to go wrong from this moment on. First, Voldemort suddenly left in a very rude manner, and then some Death Eaters from the outside came to drive everyone away and let them go back.

How inexplicable is it that the Malfoy family's banquet has just begun and people are sent back?

The little wizard at Hogwarts looked at Narcissa with an inexplicable expression. Narcissa was also confused, and she and Lucius seemed to be separated by an invisible wall. When she tried hard to look at him, trying to get something from him. On prompting, Narcissa saw Lucius shake his head slightly at her.

Very covertly and cautiously, he gently shook his head and asked her to leave quickly.

"Let's go, there seems to be some problem." She called to the female companion beside her.

As the future little Mrs. Malfoy of the Malfoy family was known to all, she said so, and the other bewildered guests naturally followed suit.

Her aunt Walburga Black was still in the banquet hall, but her uncle Alphard Black also came out... He was one of the few elders who had not joined the Death Eaters.

Narcissa suddenly realized that those who were driven out were "ordinary people", and some senior officials of the Ministry of Magic and all Death Eaters were left in the banquet hall.

"Hey, what's going on inside, Sissy?" Alphard came to Narcissa and complained in confusion, "I haven't even talked to Miss Slytherin yet."

Her uncle is a libertine who never gets married, never falls in love, has no children, and indulges in art every day. He came today because he heard that Catherine Slytherin would show up - he has no interest in the eldest lady of the Slytherin family. But she was interested in her brother, the famous painter and bard Aesop Slytherin, and came here to get close to Miss Slytherin to see if she could learn some stories about the "idol" through her.

Narcissa looked away and suddenly grabbed her uncle's hand, "Uncle Alphard, I feel a little uncomfortable. Can you take me back?"

Her parents were also Death Eaters, and they were also inside, as well as Bella, but no one of them looked at her just now, and no one cared about her.

Narcissa suddenly had a creepy feeling. Maybe Andromeda, who was locked up, would know something.

"Baby, why do you look so bad?" Alphard raised his hand and touched Narcissa's forehead, "It's so cold, are you cold?"

He took off his robe and put it on Narcissa, looked back at the closed banquet hall, lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, "Let's go, I'll take you back first."

With Alphard's help, Narcissa can apparate back to the Black family home after leaving Malfoy Manor.

Today is Christmas. Even though they have their own residences, today the Blacks gathered at the Black family's old house at No. 12 Grimmauld Place - where Andromeda was also imprisoned.

"Can you go back by yourself?" Alphard helped Narcissa, who was staggering.

Due to the dizziness caused by the disembodiment and the panic, Narcissa's face was now as white as the snow next to her.

But she heard the meaning of Alphard's words and grabbed her uncle's wrist, "Do you want to go back to Malfoy Manor?"

"I..." Alphad hesitated, "I'll go back and take a look. Something seems to have happened there."

"Don't go back." Narcissa held him tightly with strength.

"What happened, Sissy?" Alphard was not an idiot. The strangeness in Malfoy Manor just now, coupled with Narcissa's current behavior, he asked, "Do you know something?"

Narcissa wasn't sure, but the more she thought about it, the more she felt she had guessed the truth. "Let's ask Andromeda first. I can't go up without you."

Yes, it was just a quarrel between sisters, but it was already very strange that it escalated to the point of fighting each other. Her parents actually locked Andromeda directly in the attic and sealed the doors and windows with magic.

Alphard slapped his head: "I said something was wrong at the time! How could anyone lock a child in the attic on Christmas Day!"
