the Gambler

The manor seemed to be silent all of a sudden. Draco crouched behind the half-closed door, watching the Death Eaters striding past him. They all swarmed in the same direction. The boy knew that the corridor was the one leading to the second. It seems that the Dark Lord is summoning all the Death Eaters.

"Someone came in here again. I just saw Alex in a coma in the side room, and Amycus was also killed. The second one was definitely not Potter's hand. Everyone knows Dumbledore's golden boy There is no way to cast the Killing Curse," Rodolphs said nervously, "Didn't Narcissa say there was only one intruder? Potter has already been caught by the master!"

Harry was sent to Voldemort?Is he a moron?Wait, he was going to face the Dark Lord, that damned Gryffindor!Draco cursed a few words, sprinkled special fluorescent powder on the adjacent ground, and then hid behind the grandfather clock without moving, waiting for the two patrolling people to pass by.

"It's been four hours since Potter came in, Salazar's beard, God knows if someone else will sneak in." Labastan said angrily, "Bella doesn't know what to think, she seems very angry I'm going to find Narcissa."

"Also repeating 'the glory of the Black family' or something, sometimes I really don't understand women."

"No one can understand Bella, to be honest, I can't even see her as a woman, she is too fierce." Labastan said contemptuously, "You didn't see her face to the master, you can't wait to stick yourself It's like he's in his robes. Anyone with a discerning eye can tell that the master has no intention of taking her to bed, and he seems more interested in the Potter boy," Labastan let out a dirty laugh, "in every way."

"Don't be too bold, you won't know how to die if you are heard." Rodolphus said, and Draco could still read the emotion of being entertained from the tone of the other party, "Hurry up and catch this little mouse, I can Don't want to waste the whole night here. Lumos!"

"You don't have any other night life, bro. But that makes sense, I'm rushing back to sleep. Lumos!" Rabasta sneered. "Whoa, isn't Lucius having a good time?"

"Peacock." Rodolphus sneered.

Draco slapped the Lestrange brothers mentally.Now, he can only hope that his parents slipped out sooner.Seeing what they meant, Draco was sure that Lucius had already started an escape plan, and it would be best if he dared to take his mother away before Bellatrix found Narcissa.God knows what that crazy aunt will do to please the Dark Lord!

When there were no more people outside, Draco relaxed his stiff muscles and straightened his body to observe the furnishings of the room, unexpectedly finding that he was now in his father's study.Since the Dark Lord lived in, it has been banned by Lucius.Draco tiptoed to the front of the towering bookshelf, and took out the "Malfoy Genealogy" in the middle, revealing the snake-shaped button on the back.He still remembered that this was where his father hid the Dark Lord's treasure, although he didn't quite know the importance of that ordinary diary.

The bookshelf slowly rotated open, revealing the glittering golden decoration inside.Draco hesitated for a moment, then strode to the front of the elevated shelf in the middle, where there was a gleaming golden cup and a shining silver crown.He has seen many rare treasures since he was a child, but he is not very interested in these two small objects in front of him.But what is more interesting is that the black badger and falcon are engraved on it.

These things weren't originally in the Malfoy family's Chamber of Secrets, Draco was sure, so it was probably the Dark Lord's?He bent down and looked at it carefully again, but he still didn't find anything special.Draco frowned looking at the two items, and stuffed them into his pockets.Anyway, his father ran away, so the Malfoy family had to keep some valuable things. The Dark Lord's things could fetch a good price just by putting his name on them.

Draco looked around in the secret room again, and put everything he could fit into the dragonhide pocket that had been cast with the Infinity Stretching Charm.He lingered in the room like this for nearly an hour, looking at the bare secret room with a satisfied smile.Suddenly, the ground shook and there was a loud explosion overhead, and he hurried out of the room to look out the window.Thick black smoke billowed from the hall upstairs, and there were screams one after another from time to time.After ten minutes, everything returned to calm.Draco stuck his head back, and as soon as he turned around he heard a heavy landing, and he talked his head out again, facing someone he no longer knew well.

"Harry?"

Draco had to admit he was taken aback, especially as Harry smiled weakly at him and waved his bloody right hand.He quickly scanned the situation outside, making sure that only the Gryffindor boy breathed out a sigh of relief.Draco opened the window, carefully levitated Harry's battered body, and moved Harry to lie down on the sofa.He fumbled for the red blood tonic potion in his robe pocket, opened Harry's mouth and poured it all at once.

"You were up there just now?" Draco asked softly.

Harry nodded hard.

"Rushing to die?" Draco unbuttoned Harry's robe, frowning at the blood-soaked shirt.He took out the cloth that was cut and turned out by the wand, and sprinkled the white powder lightly. Before Harry could scream, he covered the boy's mouth, and kept singing wonderful words from his mouth. Leyin, the wound is slowly healing.Harry finally lost the strength to continue to struggle, he slumped on the sofa like a dead fish, and the air that went in hadn't come out much.Draco frowned: "You are so badly injured that you shouldn't have jumped out of the window. If I didn't find out in time, you would lose too much blood."

"The hell I'm jumping out of the window," said Harry grimly.

"what?"

"Soup -- Marvolo threw me out." Harry said through gritted teeth, "Not even the slightest bit of preparation!"

Draco showed a disapproving expression: "What about others?"

"Still fighting with Voldemort upstairs." Harry moved his trembling fingers a few times. Although it was still numb and painful, it was much better than the feeling of hurting his muscles and bones just now. "When I rest for a while, we will You can sneak out."

"And leave Marvolo alone?" Draco raised an eyebrow.

"Of course not!" said Harry hastily. "We have to find something important first."

"What—" Draco's voice was interrupted by the sudden sound of footsteps outside the door, he quickly grabbed his wand and moved softly to the wall, putting his ear on it to listen.It seems the Lestrange brothers are back again, cursing as they go.Anyway, something about catching Potter or something.Draco reached out and grasped the doorknob and turned it carefully, revealing a gap half the width of a man to peek around.After a while, Harry also dragged his heavy body to squeeze beside him.

Even though he knew that he was incapable of dealing with the Lestrange brothers, it was reassuring to ascertain their whereabouts, at least they would not run into each other head-on.He took out the fluorescent tracker that Tom had given him earlier, it was said to be a new product of the Weasley brothers, as long as it was wiped on the target, and wearing special glasses, he could observe the target clearly in the dark.Draco looked at the round glasses with disgust, it seemed that they were obsessed with Harry's beer bottle cap.He took out the extinguisher that Ron lent him, clicked it several times, and the flames rushed into the lighter one by one, and the whole corridor was dark.Before going into the darkness, Draco noticed Harry's raised eyebrow.

"We'd better kill them just to be safe," Harry said softly in a voice only two of them could hear.

"Don't be kidding, we're fleeing now, Harry, I'll be fine if your physical condition doesn't drag me down." Draco pressed his body against the wall completely, and the intricate patterns on it made him hurt.

While he was talking, Draco's right foot suddenly tripped over something, and for a moment, a sputtering sound resounded in the darkness.Two small light spots flashed on the opposite side, Harry pushed Draco hard to the side, the light beams grazed the wall behind his arms, and the sharp stone slid and scratched him a lot.

"Potter! I knew you were here!" Rodolphus snarled and threw another spell indiscriminately, and Harry rolled and dodged.

"This will give away our position, have you forgotten? When he fell out of the window, he was terribly weak." Labastan said, "Find a way to catch him! Fluorescent flash!"

"Knox," said Harry softly, and the wand, which had just been lit, went dark again.

"Fluorescent flashes!" Rabastan shouted again unconvinced.

"Knox," Harry repeated, and the green light jumped and disappeared without a trace.

"Potter! This is no way to go on like this! You know there are two of us, you can't be one against two at the same time!" Rodolphus said loudly, "If you keep talking, I can find and kill you too!"

"It makes sense but I don't care about it." Harry said cheerfully, after all, he was completely at a disadvantage with his injured body, and Rodolphus was right.Even so, it wasn't in Harry's character to simply give in.Merlin's socks, Harry is not even afraid of Voldemort, how could he be afraid of two little Death Eaters, don't make him laugh.So he needs to show his brave and fearless side.Harry let out a sneer that made his hair stand on end: "I didn't expect my performance to be easily hidden from you. To be honest, I thought that even a brain filled with tranquilizing potions would guess that I am not a people."

Draco poked Harry in the ribs, and the latter gritted his teeth to hold back the pain.

"You're bluffing," Rodolphus said affirmatively. "If you weren't the only one, as far as Gryffindor's character is concerned, you would have jumped out and demanded a duel in a fair manner!" Labastan responded with a funny laugh. and brother's answer.

"Really?" Harry chuckled, "What do you think, Lucius?"

Draco was stunned for a while, understanding Harry's meaning, he purposely replied in a rough voice, imitating it perfectly: "Of course, Potter. Sissy is also ready."

The Lestrange brothers really panicked this time, and they muttered a lot of things that Harry couldn't catch.When the exchange stopped, Rodolphus cleared his throat and pretended to be calm and said: "Lucius, the master already knows about your absence from the rally, do you think he will easily let your betrayal go? No, even if it comes He'll still kill the Malfoys to the ends of the earth."

Draco gasped and shivered.

"You're doing nothing, Lestrange." Harry said before Draco said, "Voldemort won't let the Malfoys go, even if they surrender now. Do you think this will change their loyalty? No, I can freely tell you that a real Slytherin would have made a wiser choice." Harry lowered his voice, "Damn it, I can't see them."

Draco pulled off his glasses and stuffed them into Harry's hands, saying softly, "Use this."

"I advise you to give up persuasion as soon as possible. I have a hundred ways to make your life worse than death." Harry continued to shout, "God out! Go out! Go out!"
