Chapter 578 Who can recognize this is Sirius? stand-in for risk sharing

Saturday, July 26th.

Diagon Alley, Gaius Drinks Shop.

Aaron looked at Sirius opposite and nodded with satisfaction, "Not bad."

"Is this really okay?" Sirius asked doubtfully.

"Remove the word '?', believe me, it will work." Aaron said seriously, and then waved his wand to create a mirror, "Look, who can recognize that this is Sirius Black?"

Sirius looked at the mirror. The man in the mirror was wearing a spiked mask and a black peaked cap. His original long black hair had been cut into pieces, and the wizard's robe turned into a black windbreaker. In addition, he also Wearing a pair of glasses without lenses.

"Isn't this... too awkward?"

"It's okay to be awkward." Aaron raised his lips slightly, "You feel awkward yourself, and those who are familiar with you will definitely not recognize who you are.

But you still have to be careful, and you must not act openly before you can expose your identity. "

Sirius:......

There must be something wrong, but I just can't put my finger on it.

"There are still some flaws that need to be covered up." Aaron looked at the iron nail mask, "Before taking action, I will use a silencing spell to silence you, and I will also have to remove the smell on you."

"no problem.

Can I leave then? "

"What's the rush? It's noon now, Harry won't be transferred until evening."

"But there are quite a few people staring at No. 4 Privet Drive right now, including Death Eaters, the Ministry of Magic, and the Order of the Phoenix. If I didn't go there in advance to check out the location, it would be difficult to find a secluded place."

"Don't worry, I have already considered what you need to consider for you." Old God Aaron said thoughtfully, and then he pulled a blackboard and drew a simple house in the middle, and then added neighbors, gardens, and streets.

"Suppose this is No. 4 Privet Drive." Aaron pointed to the house in the middle with his wand, "Where can you hide after you get there?"

Sirius looked at the simple diagram carefully and frowned unconsciously.

"Neighbor's house? No, the Ministry of Magic and the Order of the Phoenix must have arranged people in those places."

"Yes, you'll be pointed at with a wand before you even enter the house."

"Use the Illusion Charm to hide yourself and then hide away?" Sirius asked tentatively.

“That’s a solution, but how far can you hide?

It's easy to spot him if he's close, but you might not be able to catch him if he's far away. "

"The sky." Sirius pointed to the top of the blackboard, "I'm hiding above that house."

"I believe the Death Eaters think so too. Don't forget, they know the specific time."

"Then it can't be underground!" Sirius said helplessly, but then his expression became exciting, "Yes, there is also underground."

"Then the question is, where do you plan to dig from?" Aaron asked with a smile and continued to hit the target, "Also, do you have time to dig?"

"This...you must have a way, right?"

"Of course, this is why I stopped you.

Stupidly heading to Privet Drive without a proper plan is no different than your idiocy of invading Hogwarts with a knife three years ago. "

"I was too emotional at the time." Sirius defended weakly, "I definitely won't do it this time."

"Hmph!" Aaron curled his lips, "My solution is to hide in the sky."

"But isn't this impossible?"

"Normal situations really don't work, but what about abnormal situations?" Aaron chuckled, raised his eyebrows, and drew a few clouds above the house. "Suppose the Death Eaters are hiding in this cloud. If you hide in the clouds, What about further up?”

"I understand." Sirius suddenly realized, "If the Death Eaters want to monitor No. 4 Privet Drive, they will definitely not be too far away from that house, and they will definitely be outside the defense range of the Ministry of Magic. I only need to fly faster than the Death Eaters." It’s higher, and with the Disguise Curse, it will be difficult for them to detect me.”

"That's pretty much what it means, but it's just that it's not safe if it's higher. You have to be much higher."

"Broomstick, I need a broomstick," said Sirius.

"No such thing." Aaron spread his hands. He never liked flying with a broom, let alone all the flying props after getting the Chicken Charm and Rabbit Charm.

"Then hurry up and buy one!" Sirius said anxiously, "The broomstick shop in Diagon Alley is still open!"

"Well... no need to use a broom, it'll do just fine."

Sirius was stunned for a moment and turned to look at Abe, who was taking a nap. There was still a drop of crystal saliva hanging from the corner of his mouth.

Although riding a dragon is quite exciting, this one...is a bit unreliable!

"What are you doubting?" Aaron asked meaningfully, "I relied on it to successfully run away from home before. Abe's speed can't even compare to the Firebolt."

"I believe this, but if it is too big, it will be exposed easily."

"Abe!" Aaron shouted in dragon language.

Abe, who was taking a nap, suddenly opened his eyes, and then quickly jumped to Aaron, "Master, you are looking for me."

"Don't transform. In this form, let Sirius experience the feeling of flying."

Abe nodded, a pair of white wings sprouted from the left and right sides, and then flew behind Sirius. Two dragon claws lifted his arms and took him to the ceiling and spun him around twice.

"Even in this form, Abe is much stronger than you think. His speed is faster than a firebolt. Not to mention his sense of direction. He can see clearly in the dark. Do you have any questions?"

Gulu!

Sirius swallowed, "No, no more."

"Can you let it put me down first?"

Aaron winked at Abe, who slowly lowered Sirius back to the ground.

"This is much more exciting than riding Buckbeak, but you will inevitably feel tired after staying in the sky for a few hours in this state." Sirius said, he was worried that he would not be in the best condition when the official action took place.

"Abe, help Mr. Black relax." Aaron said calmly.

A white magic circle emerged above Sirius' head, and as the warm white light integrated into his body, he felt like a spring breeze, and his condition was as good as ever.

"This is too magical!" Sirius couldn't believe the passage.

Abe raised his head proudly. This was just its basic operation.

"Don't get too happy too early." Aaron poured cold water on Sirius's heart directly. "It will only help you participate in the chase and restore your status, but it will not help you fight."

"I understand." Sirius expressed his understanding. "If it is exposed, it will admit that I am yours in disguise."

"It's good to know."

"Do you have anything else to explain?"

"Well..." Aaron thought for a while, "The Order of the Phoenix will use a substitute to protect Harry tonight, and Hermione must be involved."

"You also said you were a substitute. Even if I wanted to help you protect her, I probably wouldn't be able to find her."

"Abe can find it." Aaron pointed to the proud holy dragon, "It is a dragon, but it is far more powerful than ordinary fire dragons. Don't underestimate a dragon's intuition. It is still very interested in its future mistress. ”

"Then Harry..." Sirius hesitated.

"Abe has nothing to do with him, but he will be fine. You should trust Dumbledore and Professor Snape.

My main purpose in sending you there was to protect the others, especially Hermione. Aaron said very bluntly, "Okay, you can rest for a while and then you can set off."

By the way, bring your props before you leave. I can lend you my telescope and magic carpet temporarily. "

...

Evening, Privet Drive.

Harry's aunt and uncle loaded all their luggage into the car and took their son Dudley away from their home where they had lived for more than ten years.

They had to leave, because No. 4 Privet Drive would definitely be attacked by a terrorist attack after the blood protection spell expired, and the house would be worthless compared with lives.

Fortunately, the Ministry of Magic sent Aurors to escort them away, and the Death Eaters who were spying on them were indifferent. Their target was only Harry Potter, and three Muggles were not worth their distraction.

Harry watched them leave, then went back into the house to collect his belongings, his wand, luggage, Firebolt, Regulus' locket, and Hedwig the owl.

There are still four days left before his seventeenth birthday. At that time, the magic that protects him will lose its effect, and it is time for him to leave this so-called home completely.

At this time, there was a rumbling roar outside the house. Harry straightened up suddenly, ran downstairs quickly and opened the door, and figures appeared from the darkness.

Hagrid rode a motorcycle with a sidecar, and the rest of the Order rode broomsticks, as well as two Thestrals.

"Hey! Harry." Hagrid greeted, "Are you ready to go?"

"Of course, but I didn't expect so many people to come." Harry said excitedly.

"The plan has changed, we have to move quietly before they do it." Moody walked into the house carrying two large sacks, and others followed.

At the same time, Sirius was watching this scene quietly with a telescope from high altitude. He really wanted to go down and say hello to them and tell them that Sirius Black was still alive, but he also knew that it was not the time yet.

"How's the situation?" Aaron's voice came from Sirius's mind.

"They are coming." Sirius couldn't speak now, but he could talk through his thoughts.

"Who specifically?"

"Arthur, Molly, Bill, Ron, Fred, George, Moody, Hermione, Kingsley, Hagrid, Lupin, Tonks...

grass! Although I already knew it, seeing him and my niece walking together with my own eyes made me feel heartbroken. "

"It's okay, you will get used to it in the future." Aaron comforted, "When they have a child, you can consider being the godfather of the child."

"This joke is not funny at all. You can think of being a godfather to your niece's child." Sirius said angrily.

"Are you sure these are the people?" Aaron asked, "If we use substitutes, the number should be an odd number. Otherwise, including Harry, it would be difficult to form a team with thirteen people."

"There's another one," said Sirius. "It seems to be Mundungus."

"Mundungus?" Aaron frowned, "I've met that guy a few times. He's not very reliable, but he was able to participate in this operation."

“Perhaps he is acting as a stand-in.

I don't think there's anything to worry about. The person in charge of this operation is Mad-Eye, and he's absolutely reliable. "

Hearing this, Aaron's heart skipped a beat.

He knows what a Flag is better than anyone else, and what an unreliable person thinks is reliable is not very reliable in itself.

"Stay safe and don't act rashly until they get out."

"You don't need to remind me of this." Sirius swallowed, "The Death Eaters are already here, right below me, at least thirty of them."

Aaron: ...

Inside the room, Harry looked at everyone excitedly.

After the Dursleys left, he was not at all reserved and acted very relaxed and easy-going.

"Kingsley, aren't you supposed to protect the Muggle Prime Minister?"

"You are more important." Kingsley said solemnly.

"Harry." Tonks shook the ring on her left hand at him, then took Lupin's arm, "There is something I didn't have time to tell you. Remus and I..."

"Are you married?" Harry opened his eyes slightly, feeling a little at a loss.

"Sorry, I didn't inform you, we didn't make much publicity."

"Uh... Congratulations, congratulations, although it's a little late."

"Okay, there will be plenty of time to do some housework in the future. We have to get out of this damn place and hurry up." Moody said loudly, and the room suddenly became quiet.

"Potter, Piers Thicknesse went on a rampage and made many practices criminal, punishable by jail time.

Portkeys, Floo Network, and Apparition cannot be used.

Besides, you are not yet an adult and you still have traces on your body..."

"What traces?"

"It's a spell that detects magical activity by wizards under the age of seventeen, and is used by the Ministry of Magic to detect minors using magic.

To put it simply, when you sneeze, the Ministry of Magic will know who touched your nose.

So we can only use some means of transportation that cannot be detected by traces, such as broomsticks and thestrals.

The two of us walked together. Even if we were ambushed, I guess even if there was an ambush, they wouldn't know which one was the real Harry Potter. "

"Really Harry Potter?" Harry didn't know why.

Moody took out a glass bottle from his arms and said with interest: "You must be familiar with this thing!"

"No, absolutely not." Harry said excitedly. Of course he was no stranger to the 'mud' in the glass bottle. He had personally experienced it with Polyjuice Potion.

He also understood Moody's plan. Polyjuice Potion could turn others into him, which was more difficult to distinguish than transfiguration, but it also meant that the person who became him had to bear his risk.

"I just said he wouldn't agree!" Hermione said proudly.

"How can I let everyone take this risk for me."

"It's not the first time." Ron said.

"No, this time is different." Harry said with great resistance, "Drink that thing and pretend to be me, no."

"None of us actually like it, man," Fred said.

George, standing next to him, nodded in agreement, "Imagine, if something happens, we will have to be skinny, freckle-faced idiots for the rest of our lives."

"We're all adults here, Potter," Moody said. "We're all willing to take the risk."

"Ahem! Strictly speaking, I was forced."

An inappropriate voice sounded, and Mundungus stood up weakly and said.
