Chapter 444: A Safe Place

"Arthur, you and Kingsley go and block the main entrance first...... Even at this moment of crisis, Alastor Moody had calmly ordered: "Remus and Severus, you go upstairs with me...... Cialis, you take Harry and leave them out of the kitchen fireplace!"

"This ......" Cialis Black sprang to his feet with great agility, grabbed Harry tightly with one hand, and yelled at the rest of the "children", "Quick, follow me!"

"But......" Fred Weasley looked hesitant for a moment.

"Don't bother them, come with me!" Siris almost yelled at them.

The group looked a little panicked, and hurried towards the kitchen—

Arriving at the fireplace, Siris waved his wand into the fireplace, and an emerald green flame immediately lit up inside.

"Quick, go in one by one...... Ginny, you're the first to ......" Ciris shouted a little impatiently as he looked behind him.

Ginny Weasley nodded...... And then there was Ron...... And then there was Fred and George......

"Harry, quick!" said Siris, trembling.

Explosions of magic can already be heard outside the door...... It looks like the battle has begun.

Harry Potter was just about to step into the emerald green fire, when suddenly, he seemed to see a figure, and his face suddenly changed-

"Harry, what are you going to do?" Cialis let out a scream, and then he stopped Harry with one hand, and the two of them rushed into the fire together.

......

"Where are we now?" Fred Weasley looked around with some confusion.

In fact, they seemed to be on a bustling shopping street, surrounded by Muggles passing by from time to time, looking at them with amazement at their gang of "strangely dressed" eccentrics.

"It's less than a mile from Grimmauld Place......," Siris gasped, gasping heavily, "We can't get to our destination directly through the Floo network...... Then when the Death Eaters come in, they'll find us!"

"What the hell just happened......" Ron touched his head in confusion.

"It's clear...... "Ciris, gasping for breath, "the Death Eaters seem to have broken the Curse of Faithful Bravery...... Our defenses have been broken, and it looks like the mad-eyed man's worries are not unnecessary...... Grimmauld Place is no longer safe ......"

"It's Snape!" Harry said in a slightly hoarse voice.

"What?" everyone looked at him with some surprise.

"I saw it just now!" Harry said angrily, "Snape...... He was supposed to go upstairs with Professor Moody, only to end up at the staircase in the basement...... It was he who betrayed us, it was he who told the Death Eaters ......"

"Harry......" Ron paused and whispered, "When we were in our first year, we used to suspect that Snape was in half the semester...... But in the end, it turns out that it is Quirrell who is truly loyal to the mysterious man......"

"Voldemort!" Harry raised his voice suddenly, startling Ron, "This time it's different...... Come to think of it, Snape rarely came to Grimmauld Place, especially on a holiday like Christmas...... Why is he so abnormal today...... And today, it just so happened that the Death Eaters launched an attack on us......"

Harry didn't seem to convince anyone, though, even Siris Black shook his head.

Harry...... Although I have always been at odds with the Snot, since Professor Dumbledore trusts him, it proves that he and we are most likely on the same side......" Sirius carefully organized his words and spoke.

However, this is obviously not enough to convince Harry Potter.

"Let's not dwell on this yet, can we?" Ginny Weasley interrupted their argument, "Where should we go now, there are more and more Muggles around......"

Ginny was right, their presence attracted the attention of more and more Muggles. There were even a few Muggles pointing at Cialis over there, after all, in their eyes, Cialis was a "wanted criminal" on TV......

"I'll take you to Tonks' parents' house, and then you'll go to Hogwarts through the Floo network...... It's the only safe place now!" Cyris said as he turned sideways, or the Muggles could see his face more clearly.

"Are you crazy?" said George Weasley, somewhat incredulously, "our parents, Mad-Eye, Remus...... They all fought in Grimmauld Square...... You're going to take us out of here?"

"I'm here to keep you safe!" said Siris, patiently.

"We're going to fight too!" the twins said in unison, "We're all adults, and we have the power to decide ......."

"The Mad-Eyed man has given me a mission to keep you safe!" Siris seemed to be annoyed by them, too, "The headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix has been attacked unexpectedly in this situation, and its fall is almost certain...... We can only break through in different ways...... Now that you've managed to escape from danger, do you still want to go back? Go back and give Voldemort as a hostage......"

"Who dares to bring back two words...... I'll just bite his throat!" Cialis roared like an angry beast.

The twins had to keep their mouths shut.

"Hurry up, follow me!" Siris ordered unceremoniously.

......

Ted Tonks is a middle-aged man with blond hair and a big belly, and he looks quite kind.

He looked surprised at first when he learned of the attack on the Order of the Phoenix headquarters, but quickly reacted and with his wife, Andomeda Tonks, he hosted Harry, the Siris father and son, and the Weasley family.

Although it is safe, everyone is still worried.

Fred's irritability had knocked over two delicate tables and a pot of spider cucumbers...... And he and George looked at Siris angrily from time to time, as if it was all his fault.

Harry, Ron, and Ginny all declined the suggestion to return to Hogwarts from here, wondering what was going on......

After waiting for almost an hour like this—

There was a sudden commotion outside the door.

"Don't panic, let's take a look!" Ted Tonks said quickly, and then he and Siris raised their wands and approached the gate with some caution.

The door opened, and Mr. Weasley, covered in blood, burst in, gasping for air.

"Daddy!" the Weasleys screamed, rushing forward.

"Don't panic, I'm not hurt!" Arthur Weasley raised a hand at the children, then shook his head: "I've got Molly's blood all over me......"

"Mom...... Could she ......?"

"She's badly wounded, but not fatal, and I've taken her to your Aunt Munir's house...... As I found out you weren't there, I guessed Siris brought you here......" Mr. Weasley gave Siris-Black a grateful look as he spoke.

Siris's face didn't fluctuate, and he asked in a low voice, "What the hell is going on? Why did the Loyalty Curse fail? Did the Death Eaters do it?"

"I don't think it......" Arthur shook his head and explained, "It was some strange faces who attacked us......"

"Strange faces?" said Siris, stunned.

"Molly and I are dealing with a strange woman......" Arthur continued.

"Is it Bellatrix?" asked Andomeda Tonks, interrupting him a little strangely.

"No...... If it was Bellatrix, I would have been able to recognize it......" Arthur shook his head: "She looks younger and prettier...... But it sounds like a weird old woman......"

“...... Molly was injured by her...... If it weren't for Kingsley's timely arrival...... Maybe she's ......" Arthur's voice became choked: "...... But Kingsley ...... Kingsley......

"What's wrong with Kingsley?" Harry asked, his voice trembling.

"Kingsley is dead...... Mr. Weasley looked down:

"I saw it with my own eyes...... A green light pierced his chest......"
