The Innkeeper

1576  The hero is the bad guys brother II

Malfoy was startled and nearly fell back, but he was a soldier at heart. Even if he was scared, he would fight, not run! Since he was exposed, he attacked the mirror, yet his attack bounced off it like it was nothing.

The next second, everything returned to normal. Molfoy was standing in the bathroom, and his reflection was absolutely normal. There was no frozen statue, and there was no shadowy wolf staring at him.

Malfoy snorted, and was about to turn away when he noticed something in the reflection. There was a window showing the outside of the castle, and outside he saw Kaemon standing on the ramparts, watching three armies fight.

An idea flashed in his eyes and he quickly approached the window and propped it open. After looking left and right, making sure that there were no problems, Malfoy leaped from the window, intent on reaching Kaemon. Yet the moment he jumped, a familiar feeling returned. From the windowsill of the bathroom window, a bird was watching him. Its gaze alone was enough to unnerve him, as if it carried within its body a star!

That brief distraction caused Malfoy to miss his target, and instead of jumping towards the ramparts, he leaped towards a rooftop greenhouse built atop a tower. Oddly enough, the glass of the greenhouse did not obstruct Malfoy, and allowed him to fall within.
