After returning to the Slytherin dormitory, Cassandra immediately took out her identity card, the King of Hearts, and began to write back to Draco. It was just a simple sentence:
The Witch Party is in Hogsmeade village, clearing out those wizards who want to harm them.
At this moment, in Malfoy Manor in Wiltshire, England, Draco Malfoy felt a burning sensation in his arms and quickly took out his ID card, the J of Clubs. When Draco saw the reply on the back of the card, he couldn't help but feel puzzled.
But without thinking too much, Draco immediately walked out of his room and went to his father's study.
As soon as he reached the door, Draco heard the voice of his father, Lucius Malfoy:
"Damn it! Who can tell me what happened in Hogsmeade? Why did all our properties in Hogsmeade lose contact with us? That's countless gold Galleons!"
Then, Draco heard his mother's voice and she also came out of the study: "Okay Lucius, it's obvious that the entire Hogsmeade village has been blocked by the Ministry of Magic. Even owls can't come in and out freely. Can't you write a letter to the Ministry of Magic? We give them so many gold Galleons every year, it can't be that we can't even get a piece of information in return?"
As soon as Narcissa Malfoy's voice fell, Lucius spoke quickly, "Of course I have written to the Ministry of Magic, and even more than one letter, but all the replies I received said that they didn't know what happened. There were also several letters that seemed to have sunk into the sea and received no reply at all!"
After Lucius finished speaking, the room fell into silence for a moment.
After a long while, Draco heard Lucius' voice again, but this time, Lucius' voice was trembling, as if filled with fear. Lucius slowly asked, "Could it be that the man really came back?"
When Lucius said this, Draco suddenly heard a crisp sound coming from the study, as if something was broken, and then his mother's voice:
"It's okay, Lucius. Even if that person really comes back, we are safe. We haven't done anything to let him down, right?"
However, as soon as Narcissa finished speaking, Draco heard his father's bitter smile, and then Lucius said tiredly:
"That's impossible, Narcissa. Have you forgotten what kind of person he is?"
Draco stood at the door of Lucius' study, listening to the conversation between his father and mother in the room, and couldn't help but feel confused. Although Draco could understand every word they said, when they put them together, Draco had no idea what the two were talking about.
At this moment, the conversation in the room fell silent again. Just as Draco curiously put his head against the door of the study, wanting to listen more carefully, he heard a loud shout: "Who's outside!"
Then, the door of Lucius's study was opened instantly! Draco, who was clinging to the door, rolled over and fell into Lucius's study.
Lucius and Narcissa, who had already taken out their wands in the room, were stunned when they saw Draco suddenly break in.
Then, Lucius was furious. Just as he was about to step forward and ask Draco why he was eavesdropping on his conversation outside, Narcissa stepped forward first, helped Draco up from the floor, and asked with concern:
"Draco, how are you? Are you hurt? Are you hurt from the fall?"
Draco was helped up by his mother. Seeing Narcissa's concerned look, he was touched. But then, Draco caught a glimpse of the anger on his father Lucius' face behind his mother, and his heart trembled.
Sure enough, seeing that Draco did not seem to be injured, Lucius immediately said, "Draco, what are you doing? Were you eavesdropping on my conversation with your mother outside just now? What did you hear?"
Draco watched his father with his own eyes. As the question deepened, his expression became more and more ugly, so Draco quickly said, "That's right, father. I know who did everything that happened in Hogsmeade!"
Lucius and Narcissa were stunned when they heard Draco's words. Then, Narcissa grabbed Draco's shoulders and asked quickly, "Tell me, Draco, what happened in Hogsmeade?"
Seeing his parents in front of him trying their best but still failing to find the answer, while he just lay on his bed and sent a message, the answer came to them. Draco suddenly felt a sense of pride in his heart.
So Draco cleared his throat and said word by word: "It was the witch party who did it. It was the witch party that purged those wizards who wanted to harm them in Hogsmeade village."
Lucius and Narcissa were stunned when they heard Draco's answer, then they looked at each other and saw a hint of horror in each other's eyes.
At the same time, the image of the young man named Wentworth Grindelwald appeared again in the minds of Lucius and Narcissa.
After hearing Draco's answer, Lucius and Narcissa were silent for a moment, and then Lucius asked loudly:
"Draco, is this news confirmed? How did you know this news?!"
Hearing his father's question, Draco's heart skipped a beat and he thought to himself that something was wrong.
I was busy telling my parents the news, but I forgot one thing. This news came from the Secret Party, but the Secret Party strictly prohibits its members from revealing any information of the Secret Party to wizards outside the Secret Party!
If he couldn't reveal the news about the secret party, Draco really didn't know how to explain to his parents why he got the news so easily, when they had tried so hard to get it.
Seeing that Draco did not answer his question immediately, Lucius frowned, took a step forward, looked down at Draco, and said coldly: "Draco, you didn't make up a story to deceive us, did you?"
Hearing Lucius' words, Draco suddenly became anxious and even wanted to tell Lucius everything he knew, including the news about the secret party.
However, when he thought about how the secret party easily told him the news that even his parents had tried every possible means to get, Draco felt that it would be better for him to be honest.
Just when Draco felt he was in a dilemma, Narcissa stood up.
