Chapter 1187 (1/2)
”Come here, Hagrid!” Ted Tonks warned aloud that the comb was shining bright blue, and Hagrid could only reach out and put his index finger on it. Then, under their navels, there was an invisible hook and rope that pulled them flying. They whirled out of control and pushed into the void. Their fingers stuck to the comb. Harry and Hagrid moved away from Mr. Tonks.
It was Harry's worst trip to the door key, perhaps because his body was too weak, Harry felt his internal organs were mixed together.
About a second later, Harry's feet ”bang” into the hard ground, then, Harry's knees soft, his hands on the ground in the backyard of the burrow, and Hagrid also fell heavily on the ground, struggling to get up with his feet.
Harry swung his dull comb aside and rocked to his feet. Then he heard a scream and he saw Mrs. Weasley and Ginny running down the back door steps.
”Harry? Is it really Harry? What is going on? Where are the others? ” Cried Mrs. Weasley.
”What do you mean? No one else came back? ” Harry gasped. But the answer was clearly written on Mrs. Weasley's pale face.
”The death eaters are waiting for us. They even know when I'm leaving.” Harry told Mrs. Weasley, ”Kingsley went to clean it up first, but they surrounded us soon after we left They know it's tonight I don't know what happened to the others. Four death eaters were chasing us. We had to run away, and then Voldemort caught up with us... ”
Harry himself could hear the self justification. He was asking Mrs. Weasley to understand why he knew nothing about her son's condition, but
”Thank God you're OK,” Mrs. Weasley hugged Harry, but Harry didn't think he deserved it. Now the Weasleys are still alive and dead, Ron, Fred, and George
”Any brandy, Molly?” Hagrid asked, trembling slightly, ”as if it were a cure I think I need some... ”
Hagrid's wound was almost impossible to deal with, and Ted's physique left him helpless.
Fortunately, this constitution is strong enough that Hagrid can still live and walk like a normal person when he falls from such a high place
Mrs. Weasley could have gotten the wine by magic, but she turned and walked quickly towards the leaning house. Harry knew that she didn't want her face seen. There was no doubt that Mrs. Weasley was worried about her children, just as she was facing Bogot. Mrs. Weasley was afraid of a cold corpse facing her.
Harry looked at Ginny and asked about the situation silently. Ginny understood immediately. She said, ”Ron and Tonks should have come back first, but they missed the door key. The key came back, but they didn't,” she pointed to a rusty oil tank on the ground. ”And that one,” she pointed to a sneaker, ”it should be father and Fred's, and they should be the second to come back. You and Hagrid are the third. ”
Ginny looked at her watch. ”If all goes well with George and lupin, they should be here in a minute.”
Mrs. Weasley came out with a bottle of brandy and handed it to Hagrid. He pulled off the stopper and drank it down, trying to paralyze himself with alcohol.
”Mother! ”Suddenly Ginny called, pointing a few feet away. In the darkness, a blue light flashed: it grew bigger and brighter, lupin and George whirled down from the middle.
Harry immediately realized that something was wrong. Lupin supported George, who was unconscious and covered in blood. Harry ran to grab George's leg, and together with lupin carried George into the house, across the kitchen, all the way to the living room, and put him on the sofa.
The light lit up George's head, Ginny gasped, and Harry felt a surge in his stomach: George had lost an ear. It's bloody on the neck and this side of the face.
Mrs. Weasley turned her son over, while lupin grabbed Harry's upper arm and almost rudely dragged him out of the room and into the kitchen, while Hagrid was still trying to squeeze his big man into the room through the back door.
”Hello Hagrid called out angrily, ”let him go! Let go of Harry
Lupin didn't pay attention to him. His eyes were a little red.
”What was that creature in the corner when Harry Potter first visited my office at Hogwarts?” Lupin asked aloud, shaking Harry slightly. ”Answer me!”
”One A greendillo in the cupboard, isn't it Said Harry, hesitating.
Hearing this, Lupin let Harry go and fell back on the kitchen cupboard.
”What is this, Remus?” Asked Hagrid, growling.
”I'm sorry, Harry, but I have to,” lupin replied succinctly. ”We've been betrayed. Voldemort knows we're going to transfer you tonight, and only those who are directly involved in the operation can disclose this information to him. You can also be impersonated. ””But why don't you examine me?” Said Hagrid, still struggling with the back door.
”You're half a giant,” lupin said, looking up at Hagrid calmly. ”Compound medicine can only be given to humans.”
”It won't be the order of the Phoenix who told Voldemort that we're moving tonight,” Harry said. The idea was too terrible for him to believe that anyone would do it. ”Voldemort finally caught up with me. At first he didn't know which one was me. If he knew the whole plan, he should have known from the beginning that I was following Hagrid
”Have you caught up with demon?” Lu Ping asked in a sharp voice. ”What happened? How did you escape? ”
Harry tells lupin how the Death Eaters recognized him on their way to chasing them, how they gave up chasing them, and how they summoned Voldemort, who appeared just as he and Hagrid were about to reach Tonks' parents' shelter.
”Did they recognize you? But how did they do it? What have you done? ”
”I...” Harry tried his best to recall that the journey was full of panic and confusion. ”I saw Stan sampak You know, the conductor on the Knight Bus, I tried to get rid of his weapon He doesn't know what he's doing, does he? He must have been put into a soul curse
Lupin looked stunned.
”Harry, the age of” except your weapon ”is over! These people want to catch you and kill you! Even if you're not ready to kill, at least use the coma spell Lu Ping said in disbelief, ”nothing can be done to remove weapons, right? They will kill you...”
”But we were hundreds of feet! Stan sampak is no longer the original one, and if I use a coma spell on him, he will fall down and die, which is no different from using awada to kill him! Two years ago, the curse of your weapon saved me from Voldemort Harry immediately retorted.
Lupin's words reminded him of the scornful Zachary Smith of Hufflepuff college, who had ridiculed Harry for teaching Dumbledore's army the curse of your weapon.
”Yes, Harry,” lupin controlled himself bitterly, ”and many death eaters have seen it happen! Forgive me, but the operation was extraordinary and it was carried out under great threat of death. It's suicidal to use it again before you see or hear about the Death Eater you did last time! ”
”So you think I should kill Stan sampac?” Harry asked angrily.
”Of course not,” lupin said, ”but the Death Eaters Frankly speaking, most people I hope you attack back! Except for you, weapon is a useful spell, Harry, but the Death Eaters seem to think it's your signature move, and I urge you not to let that happen! What's more, what would he do if he changed to van Lin, he would not hesitate... ”
