03. Blocking
Harry led them into the kitchen, where some of them sat in chairs, some on Aunt Penny's shiny board, some leaning against her spotless utensils, talking and laughing.
Ron was still tall and thin, Hermione had braided her messy hair, Fred and George were smiling identically, Bill was scarred and his hair was long, and Mr. Weasley was still as amiable as before, bald and wearing crooked glasses.
The Mad-Eye Man was lame in his battle suit, his magic eye was spinning in the hole, Tonks' short hair had become her favorite bright pink, and Lupin's hair was whiter and more wrinkled.
There's a lot they want to talk about.
But Moody's interrupted it all.
"Alright, alright, there's no time for small talk now." Moody shouted, and the kitchen fell silent.
He put the bag at his feet and said to Harry, "We can only use the most primitive and effective way to get out of here, and now this house is not allowed to be connected to the Floo network, whether it is with a portkey or a phantom to get in and out, the good name is to prevent the person who can't even mention the name from approaching you, it seems to me that it is all nonsense, your mother's magic has done enough, and the things he has done have made it impossible for you to get out of here safely." ”
"What did he do?" Harry didn't quite understand what Moody meant, wouldn't it be faster in Harry's mind if he had relied on the fireplace of the Floo Network or the illusion.
"Back then, when you were just an infant, the former Minister of Magic had a special rule to protect you, and a minor wizard would be detected when casting any spell recorded by the Ministry of Magic!" Moody's explained.
"This law later restricted all minor wizards, but at that stage, the vast majority of underage wizards stayed in school, and most wizards in the wizarding world didn't think it was anything! And if you think about it, if you use any spell outside the school before you graduate from Hogwarts, you will be discovered by the Ministry of Magic......"
Harry nodded, even if he was using the Patronus Charm outside, the Ministry of Magic had discovered it.
"All underage wizards are like that!"
"What about Sherlock?" Harry couldn't help but say the name.
"Sherlock! Since you mentioned him, then I need to emphasize that it is a spell recorded by the Ministry of Magic, if you know a spell that is not recorded by the Ministry of Magic, then you can use it casually, and the Ministry of Magic will not be able to find out. ”
Harry closed his mouth and stopped talking.
"I think the safest place now is Mephisto Manor, even if the apparition moves to Mephisto Mansion, the Death Eaters don't dare to break in, there are a lot of bans on magic by the Prince of Charms, which is even more powerful than some Hogwarts protections, and if you force your way in, it is an act of seeking death."
Lupin interjected.
Harry suddenly realized that he could run to Mephisto Mansion, but then he gave up on the idea himself, why should the Mephisto family protect Harry.
The members of the Order of the Phoenix protected him, but the Mephisto family didn't care so much about Harry.
To be precise, even Fourmond, as the Minister of Magic, would not care about Harry Potter, because he felt that Harry was not important at all, and the members of the Order of the Phoenix were still afraid of the Death Eaters in the Ministry of Magic.
Similarly, after serving as Minister of Magic, Fu Mund did not have a very good opinion of the members of the Order of the Phoenix, after all, this is a very powerful group of free wizards who do not listen to the tune or the announcement.
Aside from the common denominator against Voldemort and the Death Eaters, Funmond could not find a place in the Order of the Phoenix that attracted him.
"So are we going to get out of here now?" Harry said.
"We can't wait for this mark to expire, because as soon as you reach adulthood, the protective spell your mother gave you will be invalid, and it won't be long before Voldemort's men will catch you."
Moody also said, "The Aurors and the Death Eaters are now at loggerheads, but it has to be said that the Ministry of Magic has Sherlock Mephisto, a powerful prince of spells, who will be very confident when they fight against the Death Eaters and Voldemort." ”
"As the saying goes, the king is the king to the king!"
Harry couldn't help but secretly admire Sherlock.
If he can have Sherlock's strength, it is estimated that Voldemort should have a headache now.
"So what do we do?" Harry asked
"There's only one way we can do it, and that's the only way the mark can't be tracked, because we don't have to do magic: broomsticks, Thestrals, and Hagrid's motorcycle."
Harry felt that there was something wrong with the plan, but he didn't interrupt the Crazy Eye:
"Your mother's spell won't work in two situations: when you're an adult or when you're ......" Moody waved his arm casually at the kitchen, "You don't call this your 'home' anymore, you and your aunt and uncle are separated tonight, which means you won't live together anymore, right?" ”
Harry nodded.
"So, this time when you leave, you won't come back, and the magic will also fail the moment you step out of the room, and we plan to invalidate it in advance, because otherwise, the mysterious person will come to catch you the moment you become an adult."
"The only advantage for us is that the Mystic doesn't know that we're coming to take you away tonight, and we've leaked a little bit of false information to the Ministry of Magic so that the spies can reveal it to their masters: they'll think you won't leave thirty days ago, but we're dealing with the Mystery, so we can't expect him to believe the fake news as well, he's sure to have a bunch of Death Eaters patrol the skies over this area just in case, so we've put as many protective charms on a dozen houses as possible, So they can't be sure what house we're hiding you in, they all have some connection to the Order of the Phoenix: my house, Kingsley's residence, Molly's Aunt Murrie's house, you know? ”
"Great." Harry said, but didn't really think it was a good idea, as he still found a loophole that the Death Eaters would have believed if they did.
But the people at the Ministry of Magic would have believed the news, which meant that Sherlock or Minister Fourmond's men would never have come to his rescue tonight.
"Then that's the last one, we have fourteen of us tonight, but there will be seven Harry Potter on our way to our destination!" With that, Moody pulled out a bottle of what looked like mud from his cloak.
Needless to say, Harry immediately understood what the plan was all about.
"Everybody's got a fake Harry, and the real Harry followed Hagrid's motorcycle."
"Alright." "Everybody's ready, we have to leave together at the same time, otherwise the whole transfer plan will be lost," Moody's said. ”
Everyone nodded.
"Hold on, Ron." Tonks said.
Harry noticed Ron put his hand around Tonks' waist and cast a helpless, guilty look at Lupin.
Hagrid set the bike on fire.
It roared like a dragon, and the body began to vibrate.
"Good luck everyone!" Moody's shouted, "See you at the Burrow in an hour, I'll count three and go, one, two, three!" ”
There was a deafening roar from the motorcycle, and Harry felt the body tilt violently.
He was soaring into the air, tears streaming from the oncoming wind and his hair blowing back.
The broom beside him also quickly rose into the air, and Thestrals' tail swept lightly.
His feet were squeezed into the body by Hedwig's cage and his backpack, and he was already a little sore and numb.
He was so uncomfortable that he forgot to take one last look at No. 4 Privet Road.
When he looked down from the side of the car again, he couldn't recognize which one it was.
At this moment, they were suddenly surrounded.
At least thirty people from nowhere hovered in mid-air, forming a semi-circular formation that surrounded the Order of the Phoenix.
Screams, followed by countless green lights.
Hagrid yelled and flipped the bike around.
Harry couldn't figure out where he was anymore.
With a street lamp above his head and shouting all around, he clung to the body to avoid being thrown off.
But Hedwig's cage, firebolts, and backpack all slipped out of his knees.
He turned his head and saw a group of people flying around, green light coming out of the air, and two pairs of Order of the Phoenix people flying high on broomsticks, but Harry couldn't make out who they were.
"Hagrid, we have to go back, we have to go back!" He drew his wand and shouted at Hagrid amid the thunderous sound of the motorcycle.
"I need to make sure you get to the Burrow safely, Harry!" Hagrid increased the throttle again.
"Stop!" Harry shouted, but when he looked back, two green lights flew past his left ear...... Four Death Eaters rushed out of the encirclement against Hagrid's broad back, chasing them.
Harry couldn't figure out how so many Death Eaters had caught up so quickly since they had just left from Privet Road Four.
It looks like it was premeditated.
The point is that Moody and the others have already greeted the people from the Ministry of Magic in advance, and they will send them out after Harry's seventeenth birthday, so it is unlikely that someone from the Ministry of Magic will come to save them at this time.
"Hold on, Harry, look at me!" Harry looked up just in time to see Hagrid's thick fingers smashing against a green button next to the gas gauge.
A sturdy black wall of protection erupted from the exhaust port.
Harry craned his neck to see the wall swell in midair.
The three Death Eaters turned around in time to avoid it, but the rest of them were unlucky, his broom shattered, and the man fell down without a trace.
A Death Eater slows down to save him, and Hagrid spends his time at the moment.
Soon, they disappeared into the night with the powerful air current.
The remaining two Death Eaters flew past Harry's scalp with a frenzied spell of death, aiming at Hagrid.
Harry retaliated with a more advanced stun spell. The red and green lights collided violently in midair, creating dazzling sparks that reminded Harry of the fireworks and the confused Muggles on the ground.
"Harry! The people who came to help us arrived hahahahaha! Just then, Harry suddenly heard Hagrid laughing wildly.
At this moment, another Death Eater was catching up, and Harry couldn't understand why the other man was smiling so happily.
At this time, Harry saw why Hagrid said that someone would come to their aid.
The clouds in the sky were all burned red.
At this time, Harry suddenly saw a huge fireball falling from the sky, and finally changed from one to many small fireballs, crashing into the Death Eaters.
But any Death Eater who was knocked into it soon fell from the broomsticks in flames.
"It's Prometheus! Mr. Sherlock's Hormitz, it's clear he's here to help us, but how does Mr. Sherlock know? Harry asked, confused.
At this time, some of the Death Eaters were screaming inexplicably......
"It's Sherlock Mephisto!"
"Prince of Charms!"
"It's him...... It's him who comes! ”
Quite a few Death Eaters began to apparition and run away.
This caused one of the female Death Eaters to scream in anger.
"He's not here yet! All back! Get back! ”
Now, at this moment, only a few stubborn Death Eaters were left chasing Harry and the others.
And the number of Death Eaters in the sky who had entered the honeycomb was now a sparse few.
"Hagrid! I think we'll be able to kill them when we go back. Harry took his wand and was ready to try.
The presence of Prometheus gave the opponent a big boost of confidence.
"No, Harry, the primary purpose is to send you to the Burrow!" Hagrid stepped up the throttle and ran forward.
Harry's scar suddenly burned like a fire, and just then a Death Eater appeared on either side of the motorcycle.
Two death curses flying from behind almost hit Harry.
Harry turned his head and saw Voldemort flying towards him like smoke in the wind, riding no broomstick or Thestrals.
His serpentine countenance shone with a sinister light.
His pale fingers raised his wand again......
"Yo he! See who this is? Prometheus rushed behind Harry and Hagrid to stop Voldemort.
"When I fight with your master, you only deserve to fight, not to mention that he is not here!"
Voldemort threw out a powerful spell, Prometheus directly hit it, the death curse had no effect on him, but this spell was emitting blue light, Prometheus's flames were about to be frozen, and the fireball fell down in a wilting manner.
This excites the rest of the Death Eaters, and it looks like Sherlock himself is indeed not present.
Another flash of thunder struck, and Voldemort spun around in the air, and the thunder nearly split him into powder.
It almost brushed off with the corner of his clothes.
"Prometheus was careless! But don't think about it today! ”
Zeus's voice was persistent.
This made Voldemort even angrier.
Sherlock hadn't arrived yet, but he was stopped by two of the other party's servants.
