As soon as the group entered Malfoy Manor, Lucius took Harry's hand and hurried into the manor.

Seeing that Lucius looked a little anxious, Cassandra and the others looked at each other. Although they felt a little confused, they didn't think much about it. They followed Lucius's footsteps and walked into the manor.

However, when everyone arrived at the entrance of the hall, they heard a noise coming from inside. Seeing this, Draco couldn't help but ask curiously: "Father, have you invited anyone else?"

A trace of guilt flashed across Lucius' eyes, but it was only for a moment, and he said:

"Of course Draco, since father is hosting this party, he will naturally invite his friends. Okay, stop asking questions and let's go in quickly!"

Then Lucius took Harry's hand and pushed the door open.

Seeing this, the others had no choice but to continue following Lucius's footsteps and walk into the hall.

However, when Cassandra and others entered the hall, the noise in the hall came to an abrupt end.

After entering the hall, the group was surprised to find that there was a long dining table in the Malfoy's hall. At this time, the table was piled with delicious food, which really fits the atmosphere of the banquet.

However, both sides of the dining table were already full of people. When they saw Lucius coming in with Draco and others, they all stopped chatting and stared at the entrance with sharp eyes. There was something indescribably strange about the expressions on their faces.

What made Cassandra frown even more was that the guys sitting at the table in front of her all exuded an unsettling aura. It was an aura that made people feel cold even though they couldn't explain why.

This atmosphere reminded Cassandra of the time when she was very young and accidentally wandered into Knockturn Alley and was surrounded by a group of wizards of unknown origin.

Fortunately, his father was not far away from him at the time, so he arrived quickly, knocked out several people in a row, and took him out of Knockturn Alley. From then on, every time he went out, his father would assign two Aurors as bodyguards, just like when he first met Wentworth.

Just as Cassandra was considering whether she should turn around and leave, she saw Lucius pulling Harry to the long table and sitting down. Seeing this, Cassandra had no choice but to follow.

At this moment, Cassandra suddenly felt someone pulling her from behind, and then she saw Cedric passing her and walking in front.

As the two of them crossed paths, Cassandra heard Cedric whisper in her ear:

"Be careful, I feel like something is wrong!"

Hearing Cedric say the same thing, Cassandra's heart sank and she silently touched her wand.

Until Cassandra and the others walked to the dining table awkwardly and sat down, the group of guys who were originally sitting at the table were still looking at Cassandra and the others unscrupulously with unfathomable smiles on their faces.

Among them was a witch who had the most exaggerated smile on her face. The witch's eyes were always on Harry Potter. Under her weed-like hair, there was even a hint of ferocity in the way she looked at Harry Potter.

Before Cassandra and the others could think about it, Lucius Malfoy picked up the cutlery on the table, tapped the glass in front of him gently, and then said, "Now, everyone is here. Welcome to Malfoy Manor. The banquet is about to begin!"

"Now, first of all, please allow me to solemnly introduce my master to our children. He is also the greatest and most terrifying wizard in history!"

As Lucius' voice fell, a wizard with shifty eyes walked in slowly, holding a baby who looked extremely weak. However, the baby-like body in his arms had a pale face.

At this moment, Harry stood up all of a sudden, pointed at the shifty wizard, and said with a look of resentment and disbelief: "Peter Pettigrew?! Why are you here?!"

"Harry Potter, why am I here? Of course it's because you are here!"

Harry seemed to want to say something, but he heard Cassandra's voice behind him. Cassandra said in a very heavy tone:

"Harry, stop talking!"

But Harry was still very excited and kept saying:

"Senior Cassandra, that's Peter Pettigrew! It was him. It was him who killed my parents and caused Sirius to be imprisoned in Azkaban for more than ten years. It was him..."

"I told you to shut up!"

This time, Cassandra interrupted Harry's speech directly with a scolding.

After hearing Cassandra's angry rebuke, although Harry still stared at Peter Pettigrew fiercely, he really closed his mouth and stopped talking.

Cassandra was looking at Peter Pettigrew, or more precisely, at the baby in Peter Pettigrew's arms, and said with a vigilant look on her face: "Instead of paying attention to this dirty rat, you should pay more attention to the master mentioned by Mr. Lucius Malfoy!"

"I really didn't expect that Tom Riddle, who was once so famous and feared by the entire British wizarding world, has now become like this. It's really shocking!"

As soon as Cassandra finished speaking, the witch who had been staring at Harry Potter, Bellatrix Lestrange, immediately stood up and said angrily: "Do you know who you are talking to, you little bastard!"

Cassandra also responded in an unyielding manner: "It's none of your business if I talk to your master. You are truly your master's good bitch!"

Bellatrix was immediately furious when she heard Cassandra address her. She took out her wand without hesitation. Even Harry, who was standing by, couldn't help but look at Cassandra sideways. He didn't expect Cassandra to say such a thing.

At this moment, a somewhat weak voice sounded in the room. It came from the baby in Peter Pettigrew's arms, Voldemort Tom Riddle:

"alright!"

When Voldemort spoke, all the Death Eaters, including Lucius Malfoy and Bellatrix, knelt down immediately.

At this moment, in the entire room, only Cassandra and her group were still standing there. They looked at each other with heavy hearts.

At this moment, a voice full of grief and indignation suddenly sounded in the quiet hall:

"Father, what on earth is going on?! You...you deceived me!"

Cassandra looked in the direction of the voice and saw Draco Malfoy also standing there, now looking at his father, Lucius Malfoy, with tears streaming down his face.
