The Shopkeeper of All Worlds in the British Wizarding World

Chapter 602 Subway 1997
"Who's knocking at the door?" At 12 noon on the day Harry was scheduled to evacuate, Ryan and his team had just prepared the vehicle to run in the tunnel and tested it twice, and after confirming that everything was ready, there was a sudden knock at the door.

"It should be Lupin and the others. Others don't even know about our place." Hermione said as she reached out to hold the wand and then opened the door. "Hello, Professor Moody and Professor Lupin. It's nice to see you at this time."

"Good afternoon, Hermione." Lupin greeted gently. Moody nodded briefly and asked directly, "I heard that you are planning to dig a hole to evacuate Harry. How are the preparations going?"

"It's done." Hermione said as she took Moody and Lupin to the living room. When Ryan saw them come in, he pushed the sofa forward, revealing a staircase leading down.

"Okay, here are the results of our three days of work." Ryan said as he was the first to walk down the stairs, and the others followed him down. When the last person entered, Ryan pulled down a wrench on the wall, and the sofa instantly returned to its original position, covering the exit that had just been revealed.

"Well done, Ryan." Professor Lupin praised sincerely as they walked down the spiral staircase. This downward passage was large enough for a person to stand upright, and the walls and ceiling on both sides had been completely hardened. There was a small groove on the wall at intervals, and a small bottle with a flame was placed in each groove to provide lighting.

When they were about 15 meters underground, an iron gate blocked their way. After they pushed another gate to unlock it, the door opened inward, and the space in front of them suddenly became spacious: in front of them was a rectangular basement of several dozen square meters. On the other side of the basement, the entire ground sunken about one meter, and a square car was parked there.

This car looked about the same size as a larger car, but its appearance was more like a miniature subway. There was a deep, dark tunnel at one end of the basement. And under the car, there were two small steel rails that extended along the tunnel into the distance until they disappeared into the darkness.

"This is a miracle. You built a subway in three days." Even Moody, who usually kept a serious face, looked at this pocket-sized subway station in surprise. "I believe the mysterious man would never have thought that we could do this. By the way, where is the exit over there?"

"It's in the small compartment under the stairs at Aunt Harry's house. Luckily they were watching TV at a very loud volume last night, so they didn't hear the sound of us cutting the floor with the laser cutter." Ryan said, and then made a gesture of invitation. "We can take this car to take a look first, and then make a confirmation."

Ten minutes later, they appeared in the living room of the house they were renting. They had just taken the mini-subway to another station under Harry's aunt's house, and even climbed up and slightly opened the floor under the stair compartment to hear the loud shouts of Harry's aunt and uncle.

"With this subway, our plan can be more complete." Moody took a sip of the tea Hermione had just made and said, "Because I feel that the You-Know-Who party already knows the information about our transfer of Harry this time, so now we must have a better backup plan to ensure the safety of Harry's transfer this time."

"That's right." Ryan nodded. He remembered that in the original text, they were ambushed by Voldemort's side when they were transferring Harry, and Moody also died in this battle. "By the way, does anyone know that I'm digging a subway here?"

"Now it's just Lupin and I. Tonks and Dumbledore only know that you are digging a hole here, but they don't know that you are building a subway and can transfer Harry out so quickly. Of course, I can confirm that the two of them will never tell this news to anyone else." Moody said confidently. Not to mention Dumbledore, even Tonks is an elite Auror and knows when to keep secrets.

"That's good, I think the next arrangement can be like this--" Ryan told Moody and Lupin about his plan. Soon Lupin and Moody left the house, and half an hour later Sirius arrived here on time as planned.

"It's terrible." Sirius complained as soon as he entered the door. "Now Kreacher is always around Narcissa and the kid from the Malfoy family, and treats me like air."

"Well, at least he will keep silent when he sees you now. This is much better than the cursing before." Ryan said, "By the way, Sirius, I heard from Lupin before that you can drive a car?" "Of course." Sirius raised his head proudly, but soon the look in his eyes dimmed again. "At that time, I was still young and very obsessed with these Muggle vehicles. So during that period, in addition to learning how to drive a car, I also learned how to ride a motorcycle. In addition, I also learned how to repair them. Of course, the only problem is that I don't have a driver's license."

"Can you drive the Weasley family's flying car?" Hermione asked from the side.

"Yes, what? Do you need me to drive that car for this operation?" Sirius asked.

"Of course not." Ryan shook his head. "That car is too old. It's hard to drive it on the street without attracting attention. I once spent some time modifying a car. The performance is the same as the Weasleys' but it's not so conspicuous. You can come and take a look. If you can operate it, drive that car tonight."

"Got it." Sirius's expression became serious. He followed Ryan through the door in the room and walked into the garage. In the garage was a red Fiat Punto, a hatchback that was also the best-selling car in Europe last year. It was naturally very easy to blend into the traffic on the street without being discovered. After driving around the surrounding blocks twice, Ryan thought Sirius was indeed suitable for the next mission.

"Okay, you stay here now. After we pick up Harry, you drive north and Apparate with Harry after driving about ten miles. Hermione will follow you in a while -" After returning to the garage, Ryan told Sirius about the arrangements for him.

"Then I'll leave the rest to you." Five minutes later, after listening to Ryan's arrangements, Sirius patted Ryan's shoulder vigorously, and then walked into the living room dully.

For the next few hours, the three people in the room sat there in silence. Although Ryan turned on the TV, none of them had much interest in looking at the screen. After it got dark, Ryan stood up, changed his clothes, kissed Hermione goodbye, and then took Sirius to number four, Privet Drive, through the subway.

After reaching the other end of the subway, Sirius seemed a little impatient and restless. He kept taking out a silver pocket watch from his arms, opening it and looking at it, and then putting it back into his arms.

"Sirius, we still need to wait for a while, so can you sit there and rest for a while to get ready, because tonight is going to be a very long night." Ryan couldn't stand this atmosphere anymore when he saw Sirius starting to walk around in this tiny subway station like a wolf in a cage in a zoo, so he spoke up.

"I know, I know everything." Sirius stopped and smiled bitterly. "But I'm just nervous."

"I understand." Ryan nodded. "After all, the mission you undertake is the most important one, so I think you'd better calm down. At least you have to make sure you are in your best condition tonight."

"I know." Sirius nodded, and just as he was about to say something, Ryan's face suddenly changed and he took out a silver badge from his arms. The badge was only the size of a thumb, and it was now flashing white light and vibrating continuously.

"Okay, we should set off now." Ryan crushed the small badge and walked towards the spiral staircase. Sirius stood there waiting with a nervous look on his face.
