HP Wizard Age

malfoy manor

In the hall, stood a man in black robe, tall and thin, like a skeleton, his body seemed to have rough scales, he had no hair, and his skin was dark and red.

But this is the person most feared in the entire wizarding world.

"Nagini, come here." A cold voice sounded.

A twelve-foot serpent snaked its way through the prostrate and convulsed crowd, spitting its message, and gently rubbing against the pale hands that seemed to be covered only with a layer of skin.

There was a muffled grunt of pain in the room, and the creepy clicking of fingernails on the wooden floor.

Draco was pinned to the outermost edge of the hall by Narcissa, he lowered his head, his hands behind his back trembled faintly, he didn't know whether it was because of fear or anger.

Today the Dark Lord was angry again - actually every time the Dark Lord was angry for no reason.

So everyone around him was hit by Cruciatus, including Lucius Malfoy.

Draco watched his father lying slumped on the ground of his own house, his face turned grim from the piercing pain.

"The prophecy ball! You should get the prophecy ball for me!" A curse hit the person on the ground at random, and that person immediately let out a painful scream.

A look of intoxication appeared on the Dark Lord's face, as if the shriek was the most beautiful sound in the world.

"Looks like I can't wait any longer, my servants..." The Dark Lord finally remembered to put a spell on his servants, he still needed their allegiance, "I need a prophecy, it's time for the Knightley family I offer their blood."

And when Draco heard this, his whole body trembled suddenly, and his chest seemed to have been hit by a piercing carpal bone, which hurt terribly.

Narcissa felt Draco's body tremble uncontrollably, looking extremely vulnerable, she grabbed him desperately, covering her son with her body.

No... please don't... Draco closed his eyes almost begging.

The Dark Lord walked to the end of the hall and turned around. He held his wand in his spider-like hands, and looked at the servants who were enduring the pain. Bring back their blood?"

"Riya, run!"

Dozens of voices whizzed past her ears, and her mother's voice broke into her ears with a little scream.

Holding a speed talisman in her hand, Asteria ran desperately through the woods. She opened her eyes wide open so that she could see clearly in the dim environment.

"Snapped--"

She tripped over a thick, tangled tree root.

Astria immediately got up and threw a spell behind her. The sharp pain in her ankle made her unable to take time off.

"Hiss——" the curse hit the giant snake behind, deflecting the direction of its stabbing.

When it shook its head and looked up, it found its prey hiding on the other side.

Astria did not dare to stop the spell, the continuous spell made the giant snake shrink its head, and the huge snake head hovered ten meters away from her, spitting out messages non-stop.

She knew it was waiting, waiting for her moment of slackening before a final ambush.

But at this moment, the wind blew by, blowing off a fruit on the tree with a snap, but it seemed like a switch had been touched, and the huge snake's mouth rushed towards her ferociously.

Astria flexibly rolled to the side a few times very quickly, and when she recited the blasting spell, she felt a pair of tiny hands holding her ankles.

Nagini was blasted a few meters away by the blasting curse and hit the tree trunk. When it raised its head angrily and hissed, there were only crushed marks on the grass in the distance.

……

The scene in front of her suddenly changed from the snake's mouth to the reed field, causing Astria to react immediately and get up from the shallow pool—someone took her to apparate just now.

At the same time, a house elf hugged her leg and cried, "The star listens to the master, the master said that the little master is in danger and should be sent to a safe place." After saying that, it broke the reed next to it, Wiped his snot.

Astria panted, and understood her elf's words. She put down the spell, and the elf still pulled her robe, and walked towards the only house in the reed field.

When she walked out of the shallow pool, she asked Xing Xing to use it on her sprained ankle to restore it to its original state, and a light click made her break out in a cold sweat due to the pain.

The elf had told her where this was, the Burrow.A safe spot provided by Dumbledore.

They were having dinner in the Burrow, a warm scene.But suddenly the two Weasleys stood up.

"What's the matter, Mom?" Ron said, looking at his mom and dad.

But neither of his parents answered, and Mr. Weasley dropped the spoon and hurried out with his wand, and Mrs. Weasley produced her wand too.

"Don't eat and get out your wands, children."

Both the Weasleys and Harry and Hermione stopped, and nervously pulled out their wands.

Almost five minutes later, there was a sound at the door, and Mrs Weasley stepped forward for a few minutes before opening the door.

"Asteria?" Looking at the person standing behind Mr. Weasley, everyone inside was shocked.

Hermione rushed forward screaming, grabbed her and said, "What's going on?" Astria looked extremely embarrassed, as if she had experienced a battle.

Asteria didn't expect Harry and Hermione to be here either.

"Dobby?" Harry looked at the house-elf following Asteria.

"I'm a star! I'm an elf from the Knightley family!" The elf widened its eyes, angry and proud.

"It's a bit complicated. Good evening, Mrs. Weasley, I'm afraid my current image is too rude." Asteria smiled at Hermione, and greeted Mrs. Weasley politely.

"Oh, it's all right, kid," Molly said awkwardly.

"A Slytherin broke into Gryffindor's lair." Fred leaned into George's ear and said.

But he was quickly slapped by Molly, because even if he whispered, he could be heard in such a small space.

"Miss Knightley, Dumbledore has already told us." Mr. Weasley was quite relaxed at first, but after seeing the house elf, he became a little restrained even though he was in his own home.

Although Asteria was always worried about the attack just now, she still noticed that they were eating, and they looked like they were afraid of her disgust.

She tried her best to hide the anxious expression on her face, and smiled, "Thank you very much, Mr. Weasley, you can call me Asteria. Actually, I'm not used to talking like this." After finishing speaking, she showed a little Distressed look.

Both Arthur and Molly relaxed their faces. Although she came from the Slytherin family, she was a little different from other Slytherins. They didn't need to be so restrained, let alone the Knightley family tonight...

Molly asked Astria to clean up first, after all, she looked terrible.

Hermione was already very familiar with the Burrow, so she took Asteria up.

The star was left below by her, let it eat something first.

Because there was a change of clothes in the ring, Astria quickly cleaned herself up.

Hermione guessed something when she was waiting for her, and gave her a hug when she came out, and then led her down together.

There are still some wounds on Asteria's face, which are more obvious with her fair face.

Harry and the others at the table had obviously been warned, and everyone was extremely quiet after the meal.

After dinner, Hermione took her to Ginny's room, and Ginny came up with her, and Xingxing insisted on staying with her with drooping ears.

Asteria sat down beside Hermione's bed, drank several bottles of potion for herself, and Xingxing took the band-aid and dutifully pasted it on her face.

"What happened..." Hermione finally asked.

"Same as last time, but I was sent out by the stars. Hermione, I'm sorry, I can only say so much." Asteria looked at her apologetically, the rest of the matter was either too confidential or important, or they knew Too much is not good either.

Hermione immediately thought of the words in Harry's previous dream, and her face turned pale.And Ginny also thought of the attack that the Knightley family had previously published in the Daily Prophet.

That night, because of Astria's arrival, no one in the shabby house slept, not to mention that Astria himself could not sleep at all after what he had experienced before.

Harry, who knew something about what was going on, tossed and turned.

"Why can Astria know?" Harry sat up suddenly. "She's obviously hiding something from us? Why? Dumbledore too."

"Hey..." Ron turned to face him. "My mother won't agree to let us participate in these things. She even thinks that Ginny and I shouldn't be going to Hogwarts this semester."

"What?" Harry was surprised, he hadn't thought of such a question.

"I'm just saying that the number of Death Eaters has increased again. We can fight too, they can't keep treating us like children. Asteria is as big as us, isn't it!" The twins in the room were taken aback.

"We heard your conversation from next door."

"And I am very interested in your words."

"So we've come to surprise you."

"Surprise!"

Fred and George's dialogue kept popping up, and Harry was used to it.

"But we don't quite agree with your last sentence." Fred huddled on Ron's bed and said.

"She's Knightley." George pushed forward too.

"Is Knightley any different?" Ron was pushed to sit up by his two brothers.

"George, I'm so sorry you have a silly brother."

"Fred, I'm sorry too, you have a silly brother too."

Of course, Ron was dissatisfied all of a sudden.

The twins then explained to the pair why Knightley knew so much.

"The more glory you have."

"With greater responsibility."

While saying this, Harry didn't notice that Ron gave him a look.

"Otherwise why she finished all the courses early."

"Because she knew there would be such a day," the twins concluded.

This call really enlightened Harry Ron.

"That sounds pretty miserable, doesn't it?" Ron said, nudging Harry with his elbow.

When it was still daylight the next day, the Shack was bustling again—because Dumbledore and Payne Knightley came.

The two of them also looked very embarrassed, not much better than Astria at the beginning.This raised the intensity of last night's battle to another level.

Payne knew that the snake next to the mysterious man had gone after Asteria, so he was relieved to see that she was still intact.

They come and go quickly.It's just that after Mr. Weasley had a few words with Dumbledore, his face was terribly dark.

Harry finally felt that the wizarding world was not peaceful.It's like a cloud of black mist that was far away, but suddenly one day, when I looked up, it was already above my head.

This feeling was reflected when they went to Diagon Alley. Many shops were closed and the street was deserted. They found that even Ollivander's wand shop was gone, and the shop was in a mess, as if walking in a hurry.

What Harry and the others didn't expect at all was that this feeling was also reflected in a report in the "Daily Prophet" a few days before the start of school——

The Dark Mark appears at Knightley Manor, and the last trace of the prophetic family in the wizarding world disappears.
