Summary
Before Hermione could make her way to Narcissa, she noticed a flicker in the candles. Nothing out of the ordinary. But then the chandelier above them dimmed for the briefest moment, a quick pulse of lost power catching her attention.
Hermione glanced up.
The second flicker came sharper, faster. The candles shuddered. A gust of wind cut through the room without warning, sharp and cold and impossible to ignore. It wasn’t just a draft..iy wasn’t something natural. Then, curtains snapped against the windows, the fire in the hearth hissed low and then… the room went pitch black.
Someone close by gasped, a glass shattered onto the floor, and footsteps shifted in the dark.
“This isn’t funny! Whose bloody idea was this?” Ron muttered.
“Shh,” Luna said softly.
A second passed. Then another.
Then…A scream.
It came from the center of the room, sharp and high and unmistakably real. The scream was one full of terror. And then as quick as it went, the candles flickered back to life but Hermione’s eyes adjusted quickly because Lucius Malfoy was lying on the floor, face down, blood pooling beneath his head.
