The Hogwarts Emerald

Chapter 640 Secret Transfer
Harry Potter had no idea what was discussed at the Death Eater meeting in Pendle Hill or what decisions were made. At this moment, he was standing in the back garden of number four Privet Drive, preparing to leave.

Just this afternoon, his uncle Vernon drove his family away, his cousin Dudley said something like "thank you" to him, and his aunt Petunia seemed to have something to say to him, but ultimately couldn't.

The Dursleys were escorted away by Dedalus Diggle and Hestia Jones. From then on, they would remain under the protection of the Order of the Phoenix until Voldemort was destroyed or the Order of the Phoenix ceased to exist.

Now it was Harry's turn to leave number 4 Privet Drive.

He took a last look at the house where he had lived for many years, then turned around and climbed onto the sidecar of the flying motorcycle.

Sixteen years ago, it was Hagrid who brought the infant Harry here on a motorcycle. Sixteen years later, it was Hagrid who took him away on a motorcycle again.

In the dark back garden, in addition to Harry who got on the sidecar, there were six other "Harries" here. They took Polyjuice Potion and disguised themselves as Harry.

Although Harry did not agree with this approach, which would put his friends in danger, he could not change everyone's decision.

The "Harry" standing next to Kingsley is Hermione. The two will ride away on the Thestrals, as will Bill and Fleur.

The rest of the group would use broomsticks, Tonks and Ron in one group, Moody and Mundungus Fletcher in another, with the Weasley twins standing next to Sirius and Lupin respectively.

Harry couldn't usually tell the twins apart, and now he was even more confused.

When everyone was ready to go, Moody called out "Good luck everyone! See you at the Burrow in about an hour. I'll count to three. One...two...three."

Motorcycles, thestrals, and broomsticks all took off into the air, and seven Potters soared over Surrey tonight.

The Order of the Phoenix chose to transfer Harry by flying in order to leave no trace of magic and not give Death Eaters a chance to kill Harry. But what the Order of the Phoenix did not expect was that their plan had already been known by the Death Eaters, who were now hanging in the air waiting for them to fall into their trap!
Not long after they took off, and before they even flew out of Surrey, they ran head-on into a circle of Death Eaters. At least thirty hooded Death Eaters surrounded them.

In an instant, dazzling green light illuminated the night sky, and shrill screams drowned out the roar of the engine.

Hagrid, who was carrying Harry, did not dare to delay, and the motorcycle rumbled forward and rushed out of the encirclement. The other six groups of people also did not stay where they were, and broke out according to the routes set in advance.

This was done to conceal the real Harry so that the Death Eaters who were trying to kill him would not be able to tell which one was the real one, thus reducing his danger.

Upon seeing this, more than 30 Death Eaters immediately split into seven groups and closely followed the Order of the Phoenix that was trying to break out.

Among them, the largest number of people chased Sirius, Lupin and the Weasley twins, led by Bellatrix and Snape respectively.

Sirius is Harry's godfather, and Lupin is a close friend of Harry's father. These two fathers are most likely to take Harry away, so the most people are chasing them.

What is a little strange is Moody's group. Alastor Moody is an Auror with outstanding merits and strength, and it is very likely that Harry followed him, but there are only a few Death Eaters chasing him, and they are all small soldiers and crab generals, whose quality is not as good as those chasing Hagrid.

Bellatrix, riding on her flying broom, was like a madman. Azkaban had taken away her beauty, leaving her with only madness, loyalty to Voldemort and fanaticism for pure-bloodedness.

Facing her cousin, the betrayer of her family, Bellatrix was extremely murderous. Killing curses kept shooting out from the tip of her wand, and every spell was aimed at killing Sirius.

Fighting in the sky is inherently dangerous. Whether you are hit by a spell or fall off your broom, it will be a dead end.

But the person on the broomstick is Sirius. He may not be the best fighting wizard, but he is definitely one of the most beautiful wizards when fighting.

Even in such a dangerous situation, Sirius handled it with ease. Not only was he not hit by the Killing Curse, he was also able to fight back while mocking his cousin.

"What's wrong? My dear Bella, has Azkaban given you some disease? Why are your hands always shaking?" Sirius' laughter was very arrogant, just like a villain.

Then, taking advantage of the gap between the Death Eaters' attacks, Sirius turned around and shook his wand, and a red light hit a Death Eater's chest, and the hit Death Eater fell off the broom instantly. There was no need to think about it, he was dead.

Sirius' wild laughter angered Bellatrix, and the most cruel Death Eater attacked even harder. The walnut wand left afterimages when she waved it, and the Killing Curse and the Cruciatus Curse were overwhelming.

But none of these could stop Sirius. He and Fred formed a perfect harmony as a troublemaker duo. From time to time, they would switch positions or make exaggerated sharp turns together, which gave the Death Eaters chasing them a lot of headaches.

Amid Bellatrix's angry roar, the Death Eaters were thrown off by Sirius and Fred pretending to be Harry, and they were left hanging in the air with their legs trembling.

If the Harry beside Sirius was real, what awaited them would be Voldemort's endless wrath.

Sirius got rid of the pursuit and flew all the way to the transfer point, but Lupin and George on the other side were not so lucky. They were entangled by the Death Eaters led by Snape and could not escape for a while.

During the chase, Snape's hood slipped off, and even though the night sky was pitch black, Lupin recognized him at once.

Fortunately, Lupin was very calm. He did not fight, but ran all the way with George pretending to be Harry, hoping to get to their transfer point as soon as possible. There was a safe house set up in advance, with magical protection. Even if the Death Eaters followed them to that place, they could not get in.

But under Snape's command, the Death Eaters surrounded the two men in an orderly manner. No matter which direction Lupin and George flew, there was at least one Death Eater in front of them to stop them.

Lupin and George waved their wands frequently, and their spells caused considerable trouble to the Death Eaters.

However, every time they thought they could break through the siege, Snape's spell would come out of nowhere and block their way.

Waving their wands again to force back the approaching Death Eaters, Lupin and George ran towards Snape together. Only by pushing Snape away could they succeed in breaking through.

Lupin and George both cast stunning spells at Snape. Snape, who had been immersed in the dark magic for many years, easily blocked the spell, but he did not launch a counterattack immediately. Instead, he let the two rush towards him.

Just as the two were about to break out of the encirclement, the Death Eater who had been forced to retreat earlier came forward again. This Death Eater steered his flying broom towards Lupin, and it seemed that he wanted to knock Lupin down directly.

Although it is not known whether this Death Eater is a Slytherin graduate, his behavior is consistent with the selection criteria of the Slytherin Quidditch team, which is in need of such talents.

Snape, who was not far away, saw it clearly. Just as the Death Eater was about to hit Lupin, Snape secretly moved his wand and launched his signature spell "Invisible Strike".

This is magic invented by Snape himself. There is no obvious sign when the spell is cast, making it extremely suitable for sneak attacks. People will not know how powerful it is until the spell hits the target.

The target of the "God of War" was the Death Eater. Although Snape hated the Marauders, he could not sit idly by and watch Lupin get into trouble in front of him. Snape wanted to secretly destroy the Death Eater's flying broom to relieve Lupin's crisis.

Lupin didn't care about hitting his own Death Eaters, but he had George by his side, George who had been trained by Ada for many years.

Red light gushed out, and George's stunning spell hit the Death Eater in front of him. The Death Eater groaned and fell off the flying broom.

However, the danger was not over, the Death Eater fell down, and the "God of War" was still there. Snape's spell was not guided, and the "God of War" lost its target and hit George by mistake.

It was like an invisible sword slashed George's face, and blood immediately gushed out from his left face. George screamed and subconsciously covered his left ear, his face as pale as paper.

When it rains, it pours; when the boat is broken, it is hit by headwinds.

A spell came from nowhere and hit George's broom. Nimbus 2001 was hit by powerful black magic and lost control. George, bleeding profusely, fell headfirst to the ground.
