The atmosphere in the Malfoy Manor was more than just tense. The festivities of Yule had been kept to a minimum as Voldemort’s temper had reached its peak. The night before, Bellatrix and Lucius had been crucioed within an inch of their lives for losing the artefacts given to them. Narcissa had presented him with the fake diadems in hopes of calming him but once he discovered their true nature he nearly burnt the mansion down.
