THE COLD LONDON BREEZE TAKES US TO A MANSION WHICH HAS LOST ITS PAST GLORY BUT HAS ATTAINED A NEW AND HAPPY LOOK. THE MALFOY MANOR. A YOUNG BEAUTIFUL GIRL WAS READING 'ROMEO AND JULIET' IN ITS VAST LIBRARY. THE GIRL WAS ASTRID MALFOY, THE NEWEST MEMBER OF THE MALFOY FAMILY. SUDDENLY THERE WAS A FRANTIC TAPPING ON THE WINDOW OF THE LIBRARY. ASTRID PEEKED OUT AND SAW HIM. ALBUS. IN THE MOONLIGHT. LOOKING LIKE A GREEK GOD IN HUMAN INCARNATION.
ALBUS:- *whispers* Thou! Let me in, will you?
ASTRID:- *furiously whispers* Albus!!! What are you doing here?!!!
ALBUS:- Long story!!! Let me up, Astrid!!!
SHE HELPS HIM UP. ASTRID PUTS HER HANDS ON HER HIPS AND GLARES AT THE HEAVENLY FIGURE IN FRONT OF HER.
ASTRID:- How did you get in?!!
ALBUS LAUGHS AT THE SIGHT OF HER AND ASTRID'S HEART SKIPPED A BEAT. SHE FORGOT TO BE FURIOUS AT HIM LOOKING AT HIS CUTENESS.
ALBUS:- Well, let's say that James just left the Invisibility Cloak was just lying around, so I got my broom, sneaked past the guards and climbed up here like a ninja.
ASTRID:- I thought you did not know how to ride a broom
ALBUS:- Well, I have been taking lessons from the Quidditch experts. Rose and my Dad.
ASTRID LAUGHED SARCASTICALLY AND SAT DOWN WITH ALBUS. ASTRID ASKS HIM TO TELL HER ABOUT THE DELPHI INCIDENT. ALBUS TELLS HER EVERYTHING IN DETAIL. HE WAS JUST TELLING HER HOW THEY FOUGHT HIM WHEN THEY BOTH HEARD THE LATCH OF THE DOOR CLICKED. THEY BOTH JUMPED. ALBUS GRABS THE INVISIBILITY CLOAK AND THE NEXT MOMENT HE IS OUT OF THE DOOR. HE SNEAKED PAST THE BIG GATES AND GOT TO THE GARDEN. HE PICKED UP HIS BROOM AND OFF HE WAS. HE GOT TO HIS HOUSE IN ABOUT 15 MINUTES. HE SAW RON AND HERMIONE HAD DECIDED TO HAVE DINNER WITH THEM. HE SAID HI TO THEM AND WENT UP TO HIS BEDROOM. HE SAW THAT ROSE WAS UP ON HIS BED.
ALBUS:- Hey, Rose!
ROSE:- Hey, Al! So, where did you sneak off to today??
ALBUS:- Oh! Nothing, just to visit Scorpius!! *stammers*
ROSE:- *sarcastically* To visit Scorpius......... or to visit Astrid??
ALBUS MAKES A FACE AT HER AND ROSE LAUGHS. THEY BOTH GO DOWNSTAIRS TO HAVE DINNER AND HEAR THEIR RESPECTIVE PARENTS TALKING. THEN THEY HEAR SOMETHING THAT MAKES CHILLS RUN DOWN THEIR SPINE.
HARRY:- I just heard from my secretary. Delphini Diggory has escaped from Azkaban. The Augery is on the loose again.
