Chapter 108: Preparation

After they officially became partners, Cole took them to a park. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 infoIn the morning, dog walkers and morning joggers can be seen everywhere, and they choose a park bench with few people, and only a couple flirting in the distance.

"Your target's real name is Sedard Grave, and he's just completed a trip around the world. His family is a supporter and participant in the recruitment of the 12 Aurors in the United States, and has a very strong influence in Congress. His maternal grandfather, Gilbert, is the current headmaster of Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and his maternal grandmother is a direct descendant of Aesop Sayre, the founder of Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Now you know that he is not the person who can be arrested and monitored through normal means. ”

"Thor?" Phoenix repeated softly, the others turning their gazes to him, "nothing, a little familiar." ”

The castle where he lives is on a hill 50 kilometres from here. "He's attending a commemoration tomorrow to celebrate the repeal of the segregation Act -- the Rappaport Law -- before Congress in Washington." If you guys want to do something, that's the best time to do it. Normally, he probably won't leave the castle - under the spell of perfect protection, you'll have a hard time getting it. ”

"I'm here for an invitation to a banquet. Phoenix stole a glance at the couple, who were talking to me and I had no time for anything else.

He took out his wand and waved it on the ground. A floor plan appears on the ground. There are three exits to the Magical Congress of the United States, which are the Guest Entrance, the Floo Net Fireplace, and the Public Apparition Shift.

"We need to spread out and guard every exit. Phoenix pointed to the map, "It's best to get him out of the venue quietly." If, in case of an accident, you must make sure to follow him. ”

Phoenix gives orders directly to others.

"Harry, you guard the Floo Powder Network, Hermione is in charge of the Apparition Zone, and Cole is in charge of the guest entrance. I'll get him myself, and if we're lucky enough to get it before midnight, we'll be able to—" Phoenix understood very well that tomorrow they might destroy a Horcrux.

A hint of disdain flashed in Cole's eyes. As far as he knew, Greif was not a mediocre man, and it was not easy to chant a spell on him. But Phoenix's tone was resolute, and he was not easy to refute. Now he is more like an ancient mercenary, taking 'money' to do things. Anyway, there were no big names at the banquet, and even if he robbed it, he had the confidence to take the food and escape with Phoenix and Greif. As for Phoenix's two companions, it was out of his radar.

His instincts told him that Phoenix was the one who could afford to pay.

Phoenix finalized the plan alone, and everyone immediately began to prepare. Cole will be on standby when he returns home, and by the way, get a positive picture of Greve. Phoenix went to Smith to get tomorrow's invitation.

Hermione and Harry were camped in the jungle near Washington, D.C., preparing a polyjuice decoction and gown—even though Sinkenis was on the lookout for him, he couldn't get out of the UK. But it was inevitable that there would be enthusiastic people who kept up with current events and recognized them, and he didn't want to expose Harry's whereabouts, lest something unpredictable happen on Voldemort's side.

Hermione and Harry's apparition moved to Washington, D.C., and with the guidance of an enthusiastic police officer, they found a wooded area not far from the center of the city. The police officer said that there are often some people who come to camp here, and it is relatively safe.

"If you're going to stay here, you're going to have to put some protective magic around. She said, holding her wand and starting to walk around Harry in a large circle, muttering words to her mouth. Harry saw the air around him tremble slightly, as if Hermione had conjured a puff of heat above the clearing.

"Peace--Guard-Muggle-shield--Earplug--you can take the tent out, Harry-"

He used a flying charm, and a pile of canvas, rope, and poles flew out.

"Stand up!" she said, pointing to the mess of canvas. The pile rose into the air, and all of it landed on the ground in front of Harry.

"Trap," Hermione waved her wand to the air at the end, "it should be about the same - go to the basement if you want to take a shower - I remember Phoenix adding it before leaving." ”

"You're familiar. Harry was surprised to say that the tent was much more luxurious than what he had stayed in at the Quidditch World Cup.

"During the World Cup, we all lived here, which was pretty good - when picking a room, it was better not to jump to the innermost room on the second floor, Friedhelm accidentally set the bedroom on fire - the furniture in the room was very unhappy - don't tell Phoenix, I promised to keep it secret. Hermione gave a cute tongue sticking out.

"I'm going to make some tea. Hermione panted, pulling the kettle and cup out of her pouch and heading into the kitchen.

"Can Phoenix find us?" said Harry, pulling out the Polyjuice Potion from his bag.

"I've got Eden's feathers on me. Hermione came out with hot tea, "There's ready-made food in the kitchen cupboard, if you're hungry, you can eat it." ”

Due to Hermione's protective magic and Muggle shielding charms around hermione, people rarely visited, and their woods were always silent, except for the occasional passing by of birds and squirrels. There is no change at night either. At ten o'clock, the calm in the forest was broken.

Harry heard a crunching sound not far away, the sound of feet stepping on a branch.

"Don't move!" Harry shouted to the figure.

Hermione rushed out, wand in hand like Harry, and aimed at the uninvited guest, who was now standing in the foyer downstairs with his hands raised.

"Don't fire, it's me, Phoenix!" he said.

"Oh, thank goodness. Hermione said as she lowered her wand, but Harry didn't.

"Show me the proof!" he shouted.

Phoenix walked into the light, still holding his hands up in a gesture of surrender.

"You have a map of the living spots, you like Ginny Weasley - or you think you know me well enough to ask me a question. Phoenix said helplessly.

"Oh," Harry lowered his wand, "but I have to check, don't I?"

"Don't talk nonsense, who can catch me!" Phoenix went straight into the tent.

"How's it going?" asked Hermione immediately.

"That's it," Phoenix pulled out three beautiful invitations and threw them on the table, pulling out three more small glass bottles with hair of different colors inside, "Cole figured out the list of people who will be there tomorrow. And a picture of Greve—"

Phoenix took a sip of his tea and continued.

- None of them are noteworthy people. He took out a long piece of parchment, "The small shopkeeper, the small clerk, and the invited magic family, about four or five hundred people. The security forces were five Aurors and sixteen strikers - very weak. ”

They discussed their plans for tomorrow for a while, and then went back to their rooms.

"Oh hell!" As soon as Phoenix Harry entered the bathroom, he found that the bathroom had been taken over by a dove. A half-naked beauty playing with bubbles.
