Seeing this, Draco couldn't help but said with red eyes:

"Senior Cassandra, I'm sorry. I really didn't know it would be like this. I really didn't know about all this. Please believe me! I'm sorry!"

Hearing Draco's apology, Cassandra nodded without comment and said, "Draco, whether they knew it beforehand or not, I can understand it, but I don't know what they are thinking!"

After hearing Cassandra's words, Draco was silent for a moment, then said to Dobby beside him:

"Dobby, can you wake them up?"

Hearing Draco's words, Dobby nodded and said, "Of course! Little master! Dobby is a very useful house-elf!"

As he spoke, Dobby snapped his fingers and disappeared from where he was. When he reappeared, he had entered the cage and was next to Harry and the others.

Seeing this, Cassandra said with surprise:

"How is this possible? There is an anti-Apparition spell here?!"

But then, Cassandra thought of the house-elves at Hogwarts, who could also use Apparition freely in Hogwarts, which was covered by the Anti-Apparition Spell. Cassandra suddenly realized and said thoughtfully:

"It seems that although the Apparition of house-elf and wizard are the same in form, they are two completely different spells! Or maybe the anti-Apparition spell only targets wizards?"

Just as Cassandra was lost in thought, she saw Harry and the others gradually waking up with the help of Dobby.

Harry and the others who had just woken up showed different expressions. Ron opened his eyes in confusion, yawned, and said, "What time is it now, Harry? Are we going to be late again?"

Luna immediately said to Dobby beside her: "Thank you, sir."

Dobby was stunned for a moment, then said with a happy face: "Hey, God, you actually called me sir! I like you, you are such a beautiful and kind girl!"

Cedric immediately reached for his wand and looked around with a wary look on his face.

But soon, everyone recalled the scene before they fell into coma, looked at the walls around them, and fell into silence.

At this moment, Ron obviously saw Draco still standing outside the cage. Ron stood up with an angry look on his face, holding his wand, and rushed towards Draco. Although there was a fence between them, Ron didn't think the fence could stop him.

Ron raised his wand and said to Draco: "Draco! Today I want you..."

But before Draco could finish his words, he saw Cassandra standing in front of him, blocking him.

Seeing this, Ron asked with a puzzled look on his face: "Senior Cassandra, it's already now, and you are still protecting him?!"

Cassandra frowned and said:

"Idiot! I'm protecting you! You cast a spell here, do you think you can hide it from Voldemort? Do you want them to know that we have all awakened?!"

Hearing what Cassandra and Cedric said, and thinking of the rumors about the Death Eaters, Ron shuddered and gradually calmed down, but he still stared at Draco fiercely, as if he wanted to eat Draco alive!

Draco, however, seemed to be unable to see Ron's gaze. He just stood there, his eyes sweeping over Harry and the others, and he said slowly, "I'm sorry, everyone. But, whether you believe it or not, what I want to say is that I really didn't know about my parents' arrangement in advance. I was kept in the dark!"

The first person to react after hearing Draco's words was Hermione. She nodded and said, "Draco, I believe you. Your surprised expression was not fake!"

Ron was about to object when he heard Hermione's words, but then he heard Luna say, "I believe you too, because, at this point, there's no need for you to lie to us anymore!"

Hearing what Hermione and Luna said, Draco nodded repeatedly and said with red eyes:

“Thank you, thank you all!”

At this moment, Cassandra suddenly stood up and said:

"Draco, in order to avoid alerting Voldemort, we cannot use spells, and there is an anti-Apparition spell here, so Cedric and I cannot Apparite them away."

"But your house-elf can use Apparition here. Can you lend us your house-elf and let him take us away from here?"

After hearing Cassandra's words, everyone instantly focused their attention on Draco. Even the house-elf Dobby couldn't help but look at Draco.

However, at this moment, everyone saw the hesitation on Draco's face. Time seemed to freeze. After a long silence, Draco still did not respond. The hearts of Harry and others could not help but sink.

After a long while, Ron finally couldn't hold back his anger, walked to the fence, pointed at Draco and said, "How dare you say you didn't know? You are obviously in cahoots with your Death Eater father! You hypocritical...Death Eater!"

Hearing Ron's words, Draco immediately raised his head and said angrily: "I'm not a Death Eater! I'm not!"

Ron said sarcastically:

"Then why don't you find a way to send us away! You clearly had a way to send us away, but you refused. If you're not a Death Eater, what are you?"

After hearing Ron's words, Draco seemed to want to explain something, but he opened his mouth and finally said nothing. Instead, he lowered his head in silence.

Seeing this, Ron was about to continue to mock, but was stopped by Luna this time. Luna walked to the fence, looked at Draco and said: "Are you worried about your parents, Draco?"

Hearing Luna's words, Draco suddenly raised his head and looked at Luna, then nodded slowly and said, "That's right, I can't let you go! This is Malfoy Manor, if I let you go, Voldemort will not let my parents go. I'm sorry, please forgive me, but I really have no choice! I can't push my parents into the abyss with my own hands!"

As he spoke, Draco held his head with both hands, slowly squatted on the ground, and said painfully:

"What should I do? What can I do? Someone tell me what I should do!!!"
