Chapter 382: The Greengrass House is in Danger

"Where is my house?" Daphne looked around furiously.

"Tsk! Something's wrong," Harry said, just a second after they appeared.

He had aimed his Apparition much closer to the house than this, but they were in the middle of a field instead.

"Wait… this is the stone road that leads home." Daphne followed it with her eyes, but it disappeared after a short distance.

"Someone must have put a ward around the place, and it's blocking our view." Harry noticed that the image was distorted when looking ahead.

It was clear that this was an improvised distraction.

"Stand back. I'm going to take this down." Harry aimed his staff upward but in the direction he remembered the house being.

"Do you know how to remove wards?" Daphne asked.

"I know at least one way." The green stones embedded in his staff began to shine as he channeled his magic through it.

"Confringo!" A loud, fiery explosion blasted against the surface of the wards, momentarily revealing them.

Daphne gasped. "There really is a foreign protection around my house."

This confirmed her fear that someone was attacking her family.

"I see you now…" Harry poured much more power into the next spell, aiming to pierce the protection in one go.

"Fulguras!" Lightning emerged from the tip of his staff, forming a concentrated beam of light that shot forward.

As the beam collided with the protections, it pierced through, opening a path.

Greengrass Manor came into view shortly after.

"Oh no!" Daphne could see fire burning in her house already, and part of it had been destroyed. The entire west wing appeared to be missing.

"A giant?" Harry quickly spotted the culprit, as it was hard to miss.

This was the largest giant he had seen in a while, and it appeared to be very busy destroying as much of the house as possible.

"Wait." Harry had to physically stop Daphne from running toward the house.

"Let me go, Harry! I have to find my family," Daphne snapped at him.

"There are three people standing by the front gate, and they've already noticed us. If you go there without caution, you may get killed," Harry warned her.

His entrance wasn't exactly subtle, so of course, they had noticed their arrival.

"Stay by my side," Harry said as he began to approach.

Daphne knew he was right. Rushing into the house carelessly would only cause more problems.

Her manor had many more defenses inside, and her father was no pushover. She was sure they were still fine since the attackers hadn't even gotten past the entrance.

At the gate of the manor, the Carrow twins and Draco, who had been about to walk through the broken entrance, paused when they saw the blood wards being pierced.

"Are our wards down?" Amycus asked.

"No, that spell only made a hole in the outer layer. It's already regenerating," his sister, Alecto, replied, being a bit more versed in this type of magic.

"So those two intruders are trapped, then," Draco said, narrowing his eyes and trying to figure out who the two might be.

"Who goes there? This is a private party!" Amycus shouted.

"Wait, that's… Daphne?! Why isn't she inside the house?" Draco had expected to find her in the manor, not coming from outside.

"Maybe she left to do something, then felt someone breaking into her family home and came to check," Alecto said. "It's not important right now. She's one of the targets… but who is that with her?"

"Harry Potter… what is he doing here? And what's he doing with Daphne?!" Draco clenched his teeth, anger beginning to boil inside him.

"That's Draco Malfoy!" Daphne finally recognized him as they got closer.

"His magic feels… off." Harry tried to scan the area, searching for any hidden threats.

He found none, but he did detect something else.

"Daphne… I found your family."

"Where are they? Are they okay?" she asked nervously.

"I can sense their magic inside the house. I have no way to know their condition, only that they're alive. But we have no reason to believe they've been harmed yet. Those three were about to enter when we arrived, and the giant is only destroying the house."

Daphne felt a massive weight lift from her shoulders.

But with some of her worries gone, they were quickly replaced by anger.

"How dare they…" She glared at the three individuals by the front gate.

"How dare they come here to harm my family!"

Harry continued forward, recognizing the two others beside Draco as the Carrow twins.

"Two adult wizards, a giant, and… Draco. This is going to be quick."

"Grom! Get over here! We have guests!" Amycus shouted at the giant, who was still holding a piece of the roof and hadn't even noticed Harry and Daphne's arrival, too busy enjoying the destruction.

"Huh?..." Grom walked back slowly, glancing at Harry and Daphne. "Guests?..."

"Daphne!" Draco called with a wide grin. "Did you miss me? I came all the way here for you." In reality, she was only half the reason he had requested to join this raid. He also had a bone to pick with Lord Greengrass, who had rejected his family's offers of alliance so many times.

Draco glanced Daphne up and down. It had been a while since he last saw her, and she had grown even more beautiful.

At first, he had been interested only in her family's assets and connections, but seeing her like this now… there was something else he wanted.

"Malfoy… how dare you attack my family!" Daphne spat.

Draco laughed. "Tonight, I'm planning to do more than just get back at your traitorous family. I'm going to make you mine!"

Chapter 383: Daphne and Draco

"Did he seriously say that?" Daphne asked.

"Yes, I think he did. How do you want to handle this?" Harry replied.

"I want to do it myself," Daphne said, looking determined.

"I'll leave Malfoy to you, then. I'll manage the others. Be careful if you see a dagger," Harry warned her.

He had had a chance to examine the curse on the one he recovered, along with Dumbledore.

The curse was as bad as he thought. It had roots in necromancy, attacking the soul directly. While powerful protections could minimize the effects, without proper preparation, it would be a death sentence. The curse was designed to kill by removing the soul almost instantly and leaving the body as an empty shell, something akin to a "meat puppet."

"I know. I'll be careful," Daphne reassured him.

While Harry and Daphne were having their private conversation, the others were also deciding their next steps.

"What about the boy?" Alecto Carrow asked. They hadn't yet been told exactly what to do with the Potter family, though she was sure they'd all have to die sooner or later. The Potters had openly opposed the Dark Lord, after all.

"Kill him, capture him, I don't care. But Daphne is mine," Draco insisted.

"Oho! Good luck with that one... she looks fierce," Amycus taunted.

"You think I can't handle that witch?!" Draco huffed.

"Grom!" the giant grumbled.

"Right, I called you over," Amycus said. "Well, since you're already here, why don't you grab that boy? You can play with him or crush him immediately, it's fine in any case. Go have fun. My sister and I should go find the rest of the family."

"Yes, I'm a bit concerned about what other defenses Lord Greengrass might have hidden. This is a very old family, so don't lower your guard." Alecto added.

Amycus shrugged. "We've got time, and if things get too difficult…" He glanced at Daphne. "We'll use the girl for leverage. That'll draw Daddy and Mommy out."

"Not until I'm done with her," Draco said, impatient. His eyes were fixed on the beautiful blonde girl in front of him.

Draco walked forward with determination until he was less than ten feet away. He could clearly smell her perfume from here.

"Daphne…" he growled.

All he received from her was contempt. Daphne held her wand in her right hand. "There's one thing I want to know from you."

Draco raised an eyebrow, not expecting her to make any requests.

"Are you ready to give up? Because that would be very disappointing."

"The night Pansy and her family died…" Daphne glared directly into Draco's eyes. "Did you have anything to do with that?" She knew how much he had hated Pansy and her father for breaking their engagement.

"That's what you wanted to ask?" Draco chuckled, a wide grin spreading across his face.

"Yes, I'm the one who killed that bloody traitor. And you have no idea how good it felt."

Harry had moved a short distance away to give Daphne some space. He didn't want to get in the way of what was coming next. He then noticed that the giant was eyeing him.

"I see…" Daphne's face remained impassive, though her anger had never burned hotter.

"I should have guessed…" She let the tip of her wand morph into a sharp edge and used it to cut open the index finger of her left hand.

Draco's pupils dilated. He hadn't had a single drop of blood in a week, and he was thirsty. "Daphne…" he licked his lips, stepping closer.

Daphne let her blood drip, but it never reached the ground. Instead, each drop floated in the air. "You want blood? You can have it," she said.

Blood continued to drip from her finger, each drop hovering in place.

Draco began rushing for the blood.

"Draco, stop!"

"Don't touch it—that's blood magic!"

Luckily, the Carrow twins were paying attention and shouted a warning just in time.

Draco was about to swallow one of the blood drops when he sensed something was wrong and backed away.

As he did, the smooth crimson drop transformed into a sharp needle.

Had it not been for his inhuman reflexes, he could have been seriously hurt. A vampire wouldn't die from having their brain pierced, but it would have left him defenseless long enough for her to finish him off.

"You… witch! You tried to kill me?" he shouted, enraged.

"Well, let's see… You killed a friend of mine, attacked my family home, and tried to force yourself on me." Daphne had to restrain herself from rolling her eyes. "So yes, Malfoy...I am going to kill you for that."

Draco scowled. "I'm going to enjoy putting you in your place." He moved away so fast it almost looked as if he disappeared.

Daphne knew she couldn't match a vampire's speed, so she didn't even try. She was done with her preparations.

Draco appeared behind her, his hand moving at an impossible speed to grab her neck.

But before he could reach her, some of the floating blood drops blocked his path. Reacting on their own, without Daphne's command, the blood needles attacked him.

Draco twisted his body to dodge the needles.

As he did, Daphne spun and slashed at him with a swift motion.

Draco caught a quick glimpse of something shiny in her hand. Instead of her wand, she now held a thin silver blade.

"Tsk!" Draco was growing frustrated. This was supposed to be an easy fight. Why was he having so much trouble with a mere human? He was stronger, faster… better.

The silver blade swiped by as he moved his head to avoid it.

'I'll show you,' he thought, clenching his fist. A good punch to her chest would remind her who was superior.

But Draco, was so focused on hurting her, that he missed a single blood drop that moved toward his left eye.

By the time he saw it, it was too late to avoid it completely. He twisted just enough to prevent the needle from piercing his eye, but it hit his cheek instead.

Draco grunted in pain as the needle disappeared, absorbed into his flesh.

And as this happened, a small, satisfied smile appeared on Daphne's face.
