Chapter 789: Another Game? (Edited)

In Malfoy Manor, Lucius Malfoy paces back and forth in the drawing room, while his wife Narcissa sits on the couch, nervously twisting her hands.

Since Voldemort took and damaged Lucius' wand, he did not participate in today's operation, and Narcissa was in the same situation. Voldemort also took her wand to use it against Fish.

Apart from the two of them, only Nagini, the snake Voldemort had left, stayed in their room most of the time, only coming out when Voldemort summoned her and during mealtimes.

In fact, before Dumbledore's plan began, it was suggested that the Malfoys leave Malfoy Manor while they still could, but Lucius refused.

At that moment, Lucius showed his fierceness and Slytherin determination... to make sure Voldemort was truly finished since he had betrayed him, so he decided to stay as a spy before being discovered, and this was approved by Narcissa and Draco.

What the Malfoys didn't expect was for Voldemort to take Draco with him before leaving.

And so, Lucius and Narcissa began to regret...

Although they knew that Snape and even Bellatrix would take care of Draco, and that Fish knew Draco's identity as a spy, there was nothing certain in the battle.

But no matter how anxious and regretful they were, Voldemort was going to take Draco whether they fought or not, and in the end, they would have to stay.

As the two anxiously awaited the outcome of the battle, a figure appeared before them with a bang.

"Goyle?"

It was Gregory Goyle's father and Lucius' close friend, Mr. Goyle.

"What's the situation? Where is Draco?" Lucius and Narcissa hurriedly asked with anxiety.

"I... I don't know..." Mr. Goyle, as clumsy as his son, didn't dare to look Lucius in the eyes. He lowered his head and whispered, "The master was held back by that little wizard named Fish McGonagall, and we couldn't defeat the Order of the Phoenix, and then... then Nott fled first, and then more and more of them fled, and I... unconsciously ran away with them."

He waved his hands in a panic, reassuringly, "But before fleeing, I saw Draco following Severus, he'll be fine... Well... for now, I suppose... I think..."

Having said that, Mr. Goyle broke free from Lucius' grip on his arm. "I must go, in case the master returns..." He shuddered suddenly and said at the fastest speed, "I'm going to hide with my family, take care."

Then, with a swirl of his body, he Apparated away, leaving the place.

The Malfoys felt relieved, as Draco would be in more danger if they were caught in the middle, as neither side could afford to hold back, but now that the Death Eaters had been defeated, Draco was safer.

They even wished for Draco to be "subdued" and "captured" if possible, so that his safety would be absolutely guaranteed.

Soon, there was another crack in the air, this time from Mr. Crabbe.

"Mr. Goyle has arrived, I know the situation." Lucius didn't wait for him to speak, but gestured with his hand, "The master can return at any moment, you must leave now!"

Mr. Crabbe nodded and left without hesitation.

Lucius and Narcissa were in a deeply disturbed mood, as it seemed that Dumbledore's plan had succeeded, and Voldemort was in a bitter battle.

But the Dark Lord's strength was so well-known and feared by the Death Eaters that Lucius didn't believe Dumbledore could finish the job this time, and even if Voldemort couldn't defeat them, he could still escape.

It didn't take long before another "Crack" sounded, and a nervous Voldemort appeared before the two.

"Master, you've returned." Lucius and Narcissa hurriedly greeted him and asked in a feigned question, "Where is Draco and the others?"

Voldemort's face immediately turned grim, but before he could say anything, the sound burst that signified the Apparition Charm rang out in the drawing room.

"Fish knew you would flee, that's why he marked you from the beginning, you can't escape nya!"

(≧≦)

Fish, who was coming from behind, laughed and swung his fist at Voldemort.

Without that bothersome shield, he didn't bother using any spells!

"Damn it!"

Voldemort couldn't understand how Fish had managed to penetrate the secret magic to reach here.

Malfoy Manor and the ancestral home of the Blacks used the same secrecy spell, and when activated, the only way to find out where it was hidden was for the Secret Keeper to reveal it.

Voldemort, as the guardian of Malfoy Manor's secret, had told Fish where it was when he returned with Fish's locator spell.

In fact, if the Secret Keeper were someone else, even if Voldemort was marked by Fish, Fish wouldn't be able to find him here...

It can only be said that it is precisely Voldemort's character, refusing to trust anyone, that led him to the current situation.

After barely dodging a few of Fish's punches with some spells, Voldemort, unmotivated to fight, used the Apparition Charm again and fled Malfoy Manor.

It was in vain, as Fish immediately knew his location.

"You run so fast! Lucius, Narcissa, Fish will go after him first nya!"

(`ω´)

Fish waved to the two and chased after them again.

Looking at Voldemort and Fish, who had appeared and disappeared suddenly, Lucius and Narcissa looked at each other, both seeing surprise in the other's eyes.

The second place Voldemort arrived at was the reception hall on the eighth floor of the Ministry of Magic, but he didn't see any Death Eaters, like Nott, who claimed to have come for help, or the men who controlled the Ministry, like Yaxley and Thicknesse, but...

"Dumbledore?!"

Voldemort saw the familiar figure at the Fountain of Magical Brothers and finally understood that his actions had been part of Dumbledore's plan from beginning to end.

"Fish said you couldn't escape! Come on, keep fighting, Fish!"

(`н´)

Before Voldemort could respond, Fish went after him again.

"Eh? Have you come, Albus?" Fish warned Dumbledore as soon as he saw him. "Albus, don't you dare steal Voldemort from Fish!"

"Don't worry," Dumbledore smiled and took two steps back. "And you don't have to worry about Tom escaping. Now he's just like at Hogwarts, unable to use the Apparition Charm."

"Excellent nya! Voldemort! Come and fight meow!"

Fish's eyes lit up, and he pounced on Voldemort.

"Albus, is it okay to leave Fish alone?" Fudge asked, concerned, and the others peered out, eager to help.

"Don't you see that Voldemort is being chased by Fish?" Dumbledore pointed at Fish, who was chasing Voldemort, and smiled. "Does he look like he needs our help? Watch in peace."

Voldemort was already unable to defeat Fish, and with the Apparition spell blocked, he couldn't keep up with Fish's speed. Without his magical metal, Voldemort was unable to stop Fish's enchanted fists...

So after Fish struck Voldemort about ten times, Voldemort's defensive spell finally couldn't keep up with Fish's relentless speed of destruction, and Fish finally punched him in the noseless face, causing him to faint.

"This is so boring meow! It seems like Voldemort is weakening..."

(?ω?)

After hitting Voldemort, Fish is not pleased at all...

Voldemort, unable to use the Apparition Charm, was worn out. He didn't play at his full strength, and Fish didn't have a good time.

"Albus, can we find a place to fight again? Fish didn't think Voldemort was playing very well just now."

(??ˇ?ˇ??)

Fish turned his head towards Dumbledore and asked seriously.
