241 Marching towards Azkaban
For wizards, the portkey is undoubtedly a very effective means of remote teleportation, compared to the Floo fans who need to establish a Floo network in advance, its teleportation distance and security are far more than the latter, as for the illusion shifter who has too high requirements for the wizard itself, it is even more difficult to touch the edge of this method.
In addition to the high level of demand for making portkeys, this method of teleportation has one drawback - it is illegal.
As we all know, the most profitable business is written in the law, so it is only natural that the most powerful spell is also written in the law.
"Alan, what are you doing over there?"
While Alan was staring at the professor making the portkey over there, Professor McGonagall asked Alan while using a spell to confirm the status of the portkey.
"Nothing, Professor, I'm wondering how long we'll be in Azkaban if we get caught this time. β
"It won't be long, it's enough to stay there for a lifetime anyway by making portkeys illegally - it won't last longer to commit a crime, you know, there is no death penalty in British wizarding. Professor McGonagall waved her wand, half-jokingly, at Allen.
There was no doubt that the pressure of today's operation was a bit too high, and Professor McGonagall, who was usually serious, tried to ease the tension caused by the operation by making jokes.
"Alright, the Portkey is doneβI think Dumbledore could have done better, but now it's time to act. β
"Okay," Alan said as he put his hand on the broom that had been temporarily made into a portkey, and said to the professor in a very calm tone, "Target Azkaban, go." β
ββββ
The Portkey's trip was clearly not a good one, and after a dizzy moment, Alan and the others managed to reach the border set by the German Ministry of Magic.
It's a pretty deserted beach, with rough sand, litter, and the occasional crepement of unknown creatures, but it looks like it's unexplored.
There was no doubt that this was a land that had been selected for smuggling, and it was clear that the Order of the Phoenix had a lot of people moving around here - it was not easy to find a land like this that the Ministry of Magic did not care about and where there were no Muggles, especially if the Muggle Expulsion Charm could not be cast on it.
"From over there, Professor?" Alan gestured to the defensive magic used to detect, and it wasn't too difficult to find holes in these spells at his level.
"In another place, it is often tested, and if someone gets through, it will be found in the next repair. β
So how skilled are you, professor...
Alan sneered as he easily broke through the guard, not caring at all about how skilled he was at crossing the border illegally.
"Let's go to the welfare family first. β
"Benefits?"
"One of the so-called Twenty-Eight Families of Purebloods, who have had a Minister of Magic, and their family is the largest shareholder in the Daily Prophet. β
"Okay professor, where is the approximate address?" Alan swallowed the sentence that almost blurted out, professor, when will you speak Chinese, and asked for the address.
"Their family has a strict secrecy spell, I can't name that address," the professor held out his left arm toward Allen, "Fortunately, as Vice Principal I visited the Welfare Family's castle a few times, and grabbing my arm, we apparition to the nearest village." β
