The Shopkeeper of All Worlds in the British Wizarding World

Chapter 604 Flying
Just as Ryan crushed the badge in his pocket, Harry and Sirius sat in a small train in the miniature subway station under Harry's aunt's house. Due to time constraints, everything here is not very complete, and all the facilities have only the most basic functions. For example, there is a ventilation system, but no temperature control system.

In the absence of air conditioning, Harry and Sirius soon began to sweat all over because of the stuffy compartment. However, neither of them paid attention to this, but stared nervously at the glass on the front of the compartment.

Suddenly, with a snap, an Arabic numeral 15 made of red light suddenly popped up on the front of the car window, occupying the entire window, and then the countdown began quickly.

Sirius stared at the number nervously, and when it turned to zero, he slammed the only red button on the panel in front of him. The train accelerated like a wild horse that had been stabbed in the buttocks. Harry even felt that he was pressed against the back of the seat.

This feeling of moving fast in the dark tunnel was really terrible, especially for Harry now. He had just met Sirius after he came down according to Moody's arrangement, but Sirius just greeted him and asked him to sit in the subway with a serious expression. After closing the subway door, he sat in the seat in front of him without saying a word and explained nothing. This made Harry feel extremely depressed and confused, and the dark and hot environment here also strengthened his mood.

Fortunately, the journey was not long, and they appeared in another subway station more than a minute later. After climbing up a flight of stairs in silence and moving the sofa blocking the exit, Harry saw Hermione nervously pointing her wand at the place where they came out. Fortunately, she put down her wand after realizing it was him and Sirius.

"Harry, it's great to see you." Hermione greeted Harry and walked towards the garage. "Follow me, Harry, we still have a long way to go today."

After Sirius drove out of the garage, out of the block and merged into the traffic on a highway, Harry, sitting in the passenger seat, finally had the opportunity to ask what was going on with this series of actions tonight.

"It's very simple, Harry." Hermione, who was sitting in the back seat, said after Harry finished asking about the doubts in his heart. "We are worried that the enemy has already known the specific time of this transfer, so we decided to let Ryan drink the Polyjuice Potion and pretend to be you. Now we will drive away for a distance, and Sirius will take you to a safe place by Apparition."

"So, everyone at my aunt's house right now is just trying to attract Vol—" Harry had just said this when Hermione suddenly sat up from the back seat as if a spring was installed on her back. At the same time, she reached out to the passenger seat and lifted Harry's chin up to prevent him from saying the next word.

"What are you doing?" Harry covered his mouth for a while before he recovered. He almost bit his tongue just now.

"To save your life." Hermione said, "The You-Know-Who put a spell on his name. He can sense anyone who says his name. We risked our lives to cover for you today, not for you to call him over at this time."

"Really, I'm very sorry." Harry apologized sincerely, and then said with some confusion, "By the way, why did so many people risk their lives to help me lure away the mysterious man? I don't deserve this."

"No, you're worth it." Sirius, who was driving, glanced at the rearview mirror and found that there was no car behind him. He quickly changed lanes and overtook the large truck in front, and then said: "You are the key to maintaining everyone's hope in this dark age. Everyone who participated in the action today volunteered to fight. They are all adults, and you should believe in their choices."

"To be honest, I'm very worried that Ryan will encounter some danger today, but I respect his idea." Hermione continued, "So I think if you can cooperate with everyone's actions and reach the Burrow safely, it will be the best reward for everyone's efforts and possible sacrifices."

"-Okay." Harry nodded after a moment of silence, then crossed his fingers on his knees and prayed silently for everyone who was fighting.

Five or six minutes ago, Ryan crushed the badge in his pocket and immediately rode on the Firebolt. Percy also smiled apologetically at Tonks and put his arms around her waist. Hagrid kicked the motorcycle and started it. The car roared like a fire dragon, and the sidecar shook. "Good luck to everyone!" Moody shouted, "See you at the Burrow in about an hour. I'll count to three. One... two... three."

The motorcycle roared, and Ryan flew up with his feet amidst the huge noise, catching up with Moody. It must be said that Ryan's flying skills had improved due to his long-distance broom flying in other worlds and the sense of balance he had developed. Although he was still not as good as Harry, who was born to fly, he was confident that Voldemort would not be able to tell that he was a fake Harry in a short time.

Of course, Ryan had to admit that only after he became familiar with how to use the Rose Madonna did he have enough confidence to fight Voldemort, who could fly in the air. But he sincerely hoped that the function would not be used today.

After takeoff, everyone ascended very quickly, and after a few seconds they reached a sufficient altitude. Ryan looked down and found that he could no longer recognize the location where he had just started. At this time, he saw some dark shadows around him.

"Oops." Ryan quickly looked around and found a group of Death Eaters wearing black robes and masks surrounding them. There were about 40 of them, and they formed a huge circle in the air, while the members of the Order of the Phoenix flew into their encirclement without noticing.

"It seems that the Ministry of Magic is already exposed like a sieve. Any information that reaches them is equivalent to telling Voldemort." Ryan's heart was full of complaints, but at this time nothing mattered anymore, because the Death Eaters launched an attack directly after they appeared, and the whole sky was instantly filled with screams and dazzling green light.

"Go north." Ryan heard Mad-Eye yell, and then immediately followed him to the west. Because even if there were 40 Death Eaters in the air, it was impossible to completely block all the space, so Ryan and his men successfully broke out of the encirclement in the chaos.

"Expelliarmus." Ryan directly hit the Death Eater closest to him, and the wand in the guy's hand was immediately knocked out of his hand by this spell, and then fell from the sky in a spiral. The man had to control the broom to fly down and try to pick up his wand.

But this did not improve his situation at all, because Mad-Eye Moody was the strongest in the group, so there were the most Death Eaters chasing them, and even if one of them left, it did not make the crowd behind them thinner. And after Ryan used the Disarming Charm just now, more people caught up.

"This is terrible." Ryan muttered quietly. At this time, in order to pretend to be Harry, he could only use the Disarming Charm to hinder the Death Eaters chasing behind. These spells were obviously not lethal enough. Except for the guy who was careless just now, the other Death Eaters easily blocked Ryan's attack with the Shield Charm.

Just after dodging a stun spell, Ryan saw a creature covered in black smoke rising from the ground behind the Death Eater, then quickly approaching him.

"Voldemort is coming!" Ryan recognized the black figure hiding in the billowing smoke and dust immediately. Because flying without the help of anything is Voldemort's signature move.

The figure closed the distance and raised his arm to aim at Moody, but Moody was busy fighting off a Death Eater who was too close and didn't notice what was happening.
