Chapter 474: Downfall
Just as Darren was discussing the logo around the neck of Luna's father, Mr. Lovegood, a big silver guy suddenly fell through the canopy above the dance floor, someone was already too familiar with this scene, and it was the patron saint of the Order of the Phoenix, the corners of his mouth twitched, every time nothing good happened, then, this time it should be......
When the Patronus stopped, and Darren recognized it as a lynx, Harry had been told when he had been attacked by the Dementors, and the people turned their heads, and it opened its mouth wide and spoke in Kingsley's voice.
"The Ministry of Magic has fallen, Scrimgeour is dead, and here they are. ”
After listening to the Patronus's words, Darren grabbed Hermione and drew his wand, while many people around him just realized that something had happened, and still turned their heads to look, and in the otherwise happy crowd, silence spread outward from the place where the Patronus landed, and then someone screamed.
Darren whispered to Harry to follow him and Hermione, and the people around him fled in all directions, noticing that many people were apparition, indicating that the protective spells around the Burrow had been broken, and that apparition could not be used here.
Immediately after, some cloaked, masked figures appeared in the crowd, shouting "armor protection" echoed everywhere, the Ministry of Magic, or the Death Eaters were coming!
"Ron, hurry up!" shouted Darren and Hermione, who now had to leave through the apparition as well, but if the bodies were not in contact during the spellcast, they would not be able to apparition in the same destination at the same time.
Ron emerged from the crowd and grabbed Hermione's other arm, and then, Darren felt Hermione turn in place and they apparitioned.
When Darren opened his eyes, he saw a wide, dark street full of late-night drinkers, flanked by closed shops, stars twinkling overhead, and a double-decker bus rumbling by, staring at a group of drinkers as they walked by.
"Where are we?" Ron's voice asked.
"Tottenham Palace Road," Hermione gasped, she was the one who led the apparition this time, and only she knew where the manifestation was, "we had to get out of there first, we didn't know where it was safe, at least no one would have thought of coming here, go, go, we needed to find a place to change our clothes." ”
"Hermione, we didn't bring a change of clothes. Ron said.
"It's okay, I've got all your luggage," Darren said, "in my pocket, relax, keep up." ”
The four of them walked together into a side street, followed by a secluded narrow alley with no people, "You said you brought our luggage?" said Harry.
"Of course, you have to be ready at all times, Apparition can get you anywhere in an instant, and naturally it can also make the Death Eaters come to you in the blink of an eye, do you think there will be someone to inform you of the departure time as before?" said Darren as he took out two boxes from his pocket, one for Harry and one for Ron, "find your clothes and change them," as he took his sweatshirt out of his pocket and began to change.
Next to him, Hermione took out her trousers in a corner of the alley and put them under her long lilac dress, then changed the skirt and then changed her heels into sneakers, "By the way, Harry, you'd better put on the invisibility cloak so it's safe, Ron, change your clothes......"
After changing his clothes, Darren put away Harry and Ron's boxes again, "Alright, let's get out of here. ”
"Others...... Everyone at the wedding ......" After covering himself in the cloak of invisibility, Harry whispered.
"There's not so much to care about now," Hermione said, "they're after you, Harry, and if we go back, we're going to put everyone in a more dangerous position." ”
"She's right," Ron continued, "most of the Order of the Phoenix members are there, and they'll take care of everyone. ”
"yes. ”
"Come on, I don't think we should stop. ”
The four of them walked back down the side street and back on the main road, where people were still coming to Renwan, and a group of men were singing and walking on the sidewalk across the street.
"What do we do next?" asked Ron.
"We don't know exactly what's going on yet, so we'd better not go back to where we've been before," Hermione said nervously, "like the Leaky Cauldron, Grimmauld Place, I'm afraid someone will search there!"
"I can go back to my house and have a look," Darren suggested, "there's a Dash of Loyalty Charm, and probably no one will be able to go in." "But now that the Ministry of Magic is under Voldemort's control, it's hard to say what will happen.
"But even you can't go straight into the range of the Loyalty Charm, you have to ......show up outside," Hermione said nervously, but she was interrupted.
"How's it going, baby?" a drunk man on the sidewalk across the street shouted at Hermione, "Would you like a drink? Cheer up, come over for a drink......" He didn't continue, as his chin was jerked and his mouth was closed, and when it opened again, there was a scream from inside, and blood gushed out, and something fell to the ground.
The fellow's companions didn't know what was going on and gathered around.
Darren turned his attention back, "I'll apparition to the top of the front door steps, so I'll be in the Loyalty Charm at once, and it won't be noticed unless someone is staring at it, but before we can do that, we'll have to find a place to rest, it's too conspicuous here." The group on the other side probably saw the blood and shouted in a panic for help.
"Well, here it is," Hermione looked at a small café next to her, and walked in, a thin layer of grease stuck to the plastic-clad table, but at least it was quiet.
Once they were all seated, a gum-chewing waitress with headphones lazily approached and asked what they wanted, Hermione asked for a cappuccino, and Darren then asked for one for him and Ron.
"You wait here, I'll apparition over and see what is going on, and as long as there's nothing out of the ordinary, I'll come back and take you with me," Darren said after the waitress left.
"But......" Hermione looked at Darren worriedly.
"Honey, do you think I haven't taken the illusion exam yet?" Darren said with a laugh.
“……”
"Well, don't worry, just be careful here, don't talk nonsense, and don't do anything to attract attention. ”
After saying that, before the waitress came out of the back kitchen, Darren's phantom shifted.
