Chapter 488: Aberforth
After a "long and difficult" wait, Darren and Hermione finally entered 12 Grimmauld Place, which was already full of people, and they saw many familiar faces, such as Moody, Lupin, not to mention, Blake, Kingsley, Weasley, Bill, who had not been seen for a long time...... Even saw Hibiscus. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"I can't stop her if she has to come along," Bill was a little embarrassed, his face a mixture of happiness and worry.
Darren felt the same way with Bill's words, and to be honest, he had also persuaded Hermione several times to leave England temporarily and come back after Voldemort's affairs were resolved, but to no avail...... It's not good for a woman to be too egoistic!
On the other side, Harry and Blake, and Ron and Weasleys also experienced a warm reunion, and it took a while to calm down, "Alright!" Moody's voice rang out, and everyone fell silent and looked at him.
"Everyone already knows the plan of action, Harry is in charge of attracting Voldemort to him, and then, let's all focus on defeating him, and as long as Voldemort is destroyed, we can achieve the final victory!"
"Win the final victory!"
"However, Voldemort's power is extremely strong, and in the process, we will have to make sacrifices, and it may be very many, and now, those who don't want to go have a chance to quit," Moody paused, his eyes swept in different directions around him.
"Oh," a faint voice came from a corner, but then it vanished, but everyone's eyes had swept over it, it was a short and fat wizard, Mundungus.
Seeing everyone staring at him, Mundungus seemed to have the courage again, "I'm sorry, but, for a head-on fight with that person, I think I'm afraid I'll only be able to cause trouble for you, so ......"
"You stay!" Moody said without hesitation, "but you can't leave here until we win, or......" he didn't finish, "you'll be able to leave then." ā
"Thanks, Moody, I knew you were a good guy!"
"Anyone else?" Moody never looked at Montungus again, "You can stay, as long as you promise not to leak the news before we fight Voldemort." ā
The room was silent, there was no sound, and after waiting for a long time, "Okay, let's go!" Moody was really ......
Because there were so many people, so the people were divided into several groups, and they reached their destination through the Apparition, and when Darren recovered from the Apparition, he saw that there were trees and rocks all around, obviously not a school, but fortunately, he soon saw the building, the familiar shape, and the sign, Hogsmeade, so to speak, his current location is Hogwarts, Hogsmeade on the side, on the nearby mountain!
"There's Death Eaters operating here," said Blake, the wizard in charge of the apparition, as if to answer people's questions, "and we need to avoid being discovered too soon by those guys." ā
"And then, how do we get into Hogwarts?"
"Come with me," Blake said, walking down the hill, "all wearing hoods and hoods so they don't get too noticeable, and you guys, if you have an invisibility cloak, put them on, so you can keep the numbers down," he said to Darren.
Under Blake's guidance, several wizards, as well as Darren who were covered in invisibility cloaks, slowly walked into Hogsmeade, and saw that the situation here was like Diagon Alley, deserted, most of the shops were sealed with wooden planks, the streets were empty, even if there were people in a hurry, the guys wearing this cloak and hood were wandering, no wonder Blake asked them to prepare the same clothes.
Blake turned into an alley from the avenue, known to Darren, who had been to Hogsmeade four years earlier, and there was the Pig's Head Bar, with a tattered wooden sign hanging from a rusty stand on the door, with a dwarved boar's head painted on it.
"Oh, bad old man, why isn't it open today!" Darren and the others approached the Pig's Head Bar to find the two wizards shouting at the door of the Pig's Head Bar.
"Open the door, only the two of you guys have been here since the morning, what's the matter if you open late for a while, you're in a bad mood today, rest more!" A tough voice came from the bar, "It's just a few minutes, it won't affect your reselling potions and drugs, and those little side hustles!"
"Damn old fellow," muttered one of the wizards, "if it weren't for the only pub in the village now, I would have demolished it." Obviously, the only ones who could say such things right now were the Death Eaters.
"Alright, come in," the door opened, and the barkeeper muttered angrily, with strands of filigree gray hair and beard on his head to see his appearance, glasses, and bright, sharp blue eyes behind dirty lenses.
"Hurry up, bring us whiskey," shouted the two Death Eaters as they walked through the door.
But the bar owner didn't move, just looked at Blake and them, "Is he coming?"
"Yes. ā
"Hey, boss, I just said whiskey!" shouted the Death Eater impatiently.
"It's a pity," the bar owner turned his gaze to the Death Eaters, "today, this store doesn't serve you!"
As he spoke, the two spells focused on the Death Eaters almost simultaneously, and they fell straight to the ground.
According to the plan, in order to achieve the effect of raiding Voldemort as much as possible, Harry will be the first wave to enter Hogwarts, causing the Death Eaters to have only a few people, so maybe Voldemort will come alone, which is much better for the Order of the Phoenix than fighting with a large group of Death Eaters.
After taking down the Death Eaters, Black told Harry to get them out from under the Cloak of Invisibility, and the barkeeper looked at Harry, "Do you know what you're doing?"
"Yes, sir," Harry looked a little restrained as he looked at those blue eyes.
"You don't have to go in. ā
"I must go, that's Professor Dumbledore's wish!"
"My brother Abu wants a lot of things," said the barkeeper, "and people get hurt a lot as he carries out his grand plan, Potter, it's great that you're able to do the first part, but the rest of the work can be done by someone else." ā
"Your brother?" said Harry in surprise, "what ......"
"I'm his brother, Aberforth. ā
"Ah, Aberforth......" Harry repeated.
"Moody mentioned him before," Hermione whispered in Darren's ear, "when you showed us the pictures," he nodded.
