Chapter 1263
Compared to the initial shock, things became much easier after everyone decided to do this.
Ron went to bed very late, and in the end, Ron did not choose to leave them, but went to the Ministry of Magic with them for adventure.
In Ron's words, he must have made such a decision because his head was crawling with slugs.
The plan was decided to be carried out in three days. During the three days, Fan Lin and several people repeatedly finalized the plan based on the previous one. Ron gave a lot of help. After all, Fan Lin and the others did not know most of the people.
When it came time to implement the plan, Fanlin and Hermione got up very early. When Harry and Ron came down, the two of them were already sitting at the dining table having breakfast.
Kreacher diligently prepared coffee and some meatballs for them to replenish their energy. This was a dangerous job, and everyone couldn't help but feel very heavy.
Harry was not too nervous, perhaps because of the strong wind and waves. He was still involved in the whole process when Voldemort was resurrected, but this was different for Hermione and Ron. The slightly nervous expression on Hermione's face even made Harry Think of exam review.
That was probably the nightmare pressure of all the students who didn’t listen.
"Robes," Hermione whispered. Seeing them coming, she nodded nervously, then rummaged through her bead-decorated bag, "Polyjuice Potion...Invisibility Cloak...Decoy Bombs...and... Just in case, you'd better bring two... vomiting tablets, nosebleed nougat, and Shunfeng ear..."
"Don't be so nervous, Hermione." Fan Lin patted Hermione's shoulder gently, "What we have to do is just sneak in as employees of the Ministry of Magic for a while, and collect as much as possible what we want... …”
But no one listened.
They devoured their breakfast indiscriminately and headed upstairs. Kreacher sent them out and promised to make fish belly cakes for them when they came back.
"God bless it," said Ron kindly, "you know I thought about tearing its head off and throwing it against the wall."
"Maybe you can try to like Kreacher, his cooking is pretty good." Fan Lin said, inexplicably, he missed Dobby, but Dobby still needs to accompany Winky now, so Fan Lin kept him here Hogwarts.
No one would pay attention to a house elf in the Hogwarts kitchen, would they?
The monitor reappeared at the original location two days later, which made them more determined that the Death Eaters must make big moves in the near future. However, the life that had been somewhat relaxed was once again tightened, and they had to be careful. of going out to prevent exposure here.
They walked to the front steps with extreme caution, and could see two Death Eaters on surveillance staring at the house through the fog in the square.
Ron and Harry left first, followed by Fan Lin and Hermione.
After a brief period of darkness and suffocation, Fan Lin found himself in the alley where they had made the first step of the plan. This was the only way for Ministry of Magic personnel to go to work, but now it was empty except for a few large boxes.
At least it was like that before eight o'clock, a time when the first batch of Ministry of Magic workers usually didn't show up.
"Then, I think we can take the next step," Fan Lin looked down at the time. "We have to make sure that our time moves in the same direction. No matter where we are, we have to leave before the Polyjuice Potion disappears."
A few people gathered together, and it was now ten minutes to eight o'clock. Under the influence of magic, Fan Lin had to ensure that the second hand of the two of them was consistent.
"Hurry up, she'll be here in about five minutes, let's knock her out..." Hermione started to say, their first target was here immediately. In fact, they had already recorded it while hiding aside. The routine of Ministry of Magic staff for a long time.
"Hermione, we know," Harry nodded, "But, I think we should open the door before she comes?"
Hermione screamed.
"I almost forgot, stand back..."
She swung her wand at the tightly locked and heavily smeared fire door behind them, and with the sound of metal hitting, the door opened.
A dark corridor lay in front of them, and they knew through careful reconnaissance that it led to an empty courtyard.
"Now," Fan Lin glanced at the time, "we have to put on the invisibility cloak again..."
"Then we wait," Ron finished.
Fan Lin nodded, Ron quickly squatted down, and then Fan Lin put the invisibility cloak on Harry and Ron's heads, like a blanket covering a birdcage.
"Let's go up." Fan Lin pointed to the high wall and gestured to Hermione. In an instant, two white cats were squatting on the wall.
Well, it looks like it’s not too crowded.
After kicking away a stray cat that came looking for trouble, in less than a minute, with a subtle popping sound, a small Ministry of Magic witch with fluffy gray hair phantomed in front of them.
The sun, which had just emerged from the clouds, was so bright that she couldn't keep her eyes open.
However, before she could enjoy the unexpected warmth, Harry hit her chest with a silent stun spell and fell to the ground.
"Well done, Harry!" Ron said as Harry took off his invisibility cloak and they appeared behind a large box.
Fanlin and Hermione quickly removed the Animagus form, and then together they carried the little witch into the dark aisle leading to the backstage.
Hermione plucked a few strands of the witch's hair and put them into a bottle of mud-like polyjuice potion that she took out of her beaded bag.
Fallin was rummaging through the little witch's handbag.
"She is Mafalda Hopkirk..." Fallin read from a small card, "It says she is an assistant in the Department of Abuse of Magic."
"No problem." Fallin said, "Just as arranged. Hermione! Of course, you'd better take this, Hermione, this is a token."
Fallin handed Hermione a few small gold coins with the letter M engraved on them, which she took out of the witch's purse.
Hermione drank the pleasant lavender polyjuice potion, and a few seconds later, another Mafalda Hopkirk stood in front of them, and she took off Mafalda's glasses and put them on.
"The effect is good. It is expected to last for two and a half hours. You must leave at the right time. Don't forget. If anything goes wrong, ask the D.A. for gold coins for help. You must do this, Hermione, promise me!"
Fan Lin looked at Hermione very seriously. Any line problem must not be Hermione's.
"I know!" Hermione nodded gently.
Harry checked his watch.
"We are going to be late. The people from the Magical Maintenance Department will be here at any time."
They quickly closed the door and locked the real Mafalda inside; Harry and Ron put on the invisibility cloak again, and Fan Lin sat alone on the wall this time, while Hermione hid behind a box. (To be continued)
