Chapter 272 - The Death Eaters Intercept Halfway!

After one month, he finally saw someone he was familiar with.

Harry looked at Lupin in front of him, his eyes were moist.

Lupin looked a lot better than when they first met, at least he didn't look so haggard.

"Harry, it's great to see you again!"

Harry wanted to say this too, but unfortunately, someone stopped him.

Just when the two were about to shake hands, a slightly hoarse voice came from the side.

"Remus, you'd better confirm that he is really Harry Potter. If he is a Death Eater pretending to be him, it will be very troublesome for us to take him back like this."

This familiar way of speaking and voice, Harry will never forget.

During the first week of summer vacation, the owner of this voice almost became his nightmare.

Alastor Moody.

The man was still the same, with gray hair, a ferocious face and a crazily spinning magic eye.

Old Moody seemed very curious about electrical appliances in Muggle homes. Because Harry found that his magic eye was always looking at those things.

Lupin looked helplessly at the ex Auror beside him.

Ever since he was imprisoned by Barty Crouch Jr for nine months, no matter who he meets, he must first confirm the identity of the other person.

Everyone in the Order of the Phoenix thinks that Moody has gone absolutely crazy!

"Well then, Harry, what is your Patronus?"

"It's a stag!" Harry replied without hesitation.

"Very well, he is Harry Potter."

After Remus finished speaking, he immediately stepped forward and gave him a hug.

After not seeing each other for a long time, the two had a lot to talk about. Especially Harry, there are so many things he doesn't understand.

"Professor Lupin, what the hell happened, about Voldemort..."

"Shut up!" Old Moody interrupted Harry with a ferocious expression.

Several other wizards also motioned him to keep his silence.

Lupin comforted with a smile: "Let's not talk about that, let me introduce you."

"This is Nymphadora Tonks."

"Don't call me that!"

Harry noticed that when she spoke, her hair turned red, then it returned to the previous bubblegum pink.

Tonks enjoyed the startled look in Harry's eyes: "I'm a metamorphmagus!"

Speaking of her natural ability, Tonks was very proud.

Seeing that the two got acquainted quickly, Remus smiled faintly.

"This is Kingsley Shacklebolt." A dark skinned, tall wizard greeted Harry.

With the introduction of Lupin.

Harry also met Elphias Doge, Dedalus Diggle, Emmeline Vance, and Sturgis Podmore.

These people are all the current backbone members of the Order of the Phoenix.

Dumbledore placed high hopes on him as the main force against Voldemort in the future.

Harry also learned from everyone's mouth that these people had all known his parents and even worked together for a while.

Hearing this, he suddenly felt that these people were much kinder.

"Okay, stop talking nonsense, let Potter go up and pack his luggage, we don't have much time."

As soon as Mad-eye spoke, everyone immediately shut up. It can be seen that he holds a high position among this group of people.

In the process of packing up, Harry learned that Tonks was actually an Auror, which made him envious.

Right now his biggest dream is to be an Auror, he thinks that would be cool.

Once the luggage was packed, there was less than a minute left before departure.

Several people came to the back garden of Dursley's house, lined up and looked at the sky.

Harry looked at Remus beside him in confusion: "What are we waiting for? And where are we going? The Burrow?"

"We are waiting for the signal of safety, and we are not going to the Burrow, but to the headquarters."

Hearing the word headquarters Harry felt full of energy. It sounded very cool, and Harry thought of the war movies that were shown on TV.

He started to imagine what the headquarters should look like.

Just then, a flashing red spark appeared in the distant night sky and Moody yelled gruffly, "Get ready!"

Everyone stepped on their brooms and Tonks even hung Harry's luggage under her broom.

At this moment, Moody turned his head and said to Harry: "Wait a while, you will follow Tonks. Follow closely, and you are not allowed to leave the team without authorization."

"I'll be in front of you, Lupin will be below you, and everyone else will be around you."

"If we are attacked, leave us alone and fly eastward, there will be other guards there to meet you."

"Guards?" Harry looked at everyone puzzled.

Old Moody nodded seriously: "Yes, we are your bodyguards!"

"Remember what I said, even if we die, you can't stop, understand?"

These words, combined with his serious expression, made Harry feel very nervous.

Kingsley rolled his eyes secretly: "No one will die, we will be safe."

His words were agreed by Harry and others, and the members of the advance guard felt that Moody was way too paranoid.

"Shut up!" Moody yelled.

He knew very well in his heart that someone would definitely attack them later, because that was the plan that man had made with Dumbledore.

That's why he was so nervous.

Although everything had been planned, he was still worried that something might go wrong.

Moody looked up at the night sky, praying that the guy was as powerful as Dumbledore said he was.

At this time, a second red spark appeared in the sky.

"It's now, let's go!"

Seeing Moody take to the sky first, Harry kicked the ground hard, and the Firebolt quickly followed.

He kept in mind Moody's orders, and followed Tonks the whole way.

The cool wind brought by the flight seemed to blow away the haze in his heart.

Feeling the fun of flying freely, all troubles seemed to disappear.

"Left, left!"

Ahead came the voice of Moody.

Harry followed suit, glancing to the right at the same time.

It turned out that a Muggle was looking up at the sky.

This time he was almost discovered, which made Moody even more cautious.

Seeing a cloud in front of him, he shouted loudly: "Fly to the southeast, raise the altitude, and enter the cloud!"

As soon as the sentence was over, Harry heard Tonks complain.

As the height of the brooms continued to rise, the cool wind gradually became colder.

But Harry didn't feel the cold, because the flame called freedom was burning in his heart right now.

Seeing that everything was going fine, the advance guards let down their vigilance.

While Moody was not paying attention, the rest of the people started to put on various flying formations in order to entertain themselves.

Little did they know that a dozen Death Eaters were ready to ambush them on both sides of the Thames right in front of them.

Headed by none other than Lucius Malfoy.

"We have been waiting so long, Snape's words are really unreliable!"

Hearing complaints from behind, Lucius Malfoy lowered his head, hiding the cold light in his eyes.

These people came to seek refuge after they learned that the Dark Lord had returned.

They were all thieves, robbers, and even fugitives.

Voldemort sent Lucius to lead these men to intercept Harry Potter, not expecting them to make it back alive.

As Voldemort's trusted subordinate, Lucius had known for a long time that this was just a way for the Dark Lord to test Severus' loyalty.

As for killing Harry Potter?

Neither Lucius nor Voldemort held out any hope.

"Coming!"

It didn't take long for the Death Eaters to see the formation of the advance guards.

Lucius looked at the defenseless look of the members of the Order of the Phoenix.

Maybe, probably, perhaps they could actually kill Harry Potter?

In the sky.

Moody's magic eye penetrated the back of his head, and he saw the restless guys behind him at a glance.

"You guys, hurry up and line up!"

Everyone quickly resumed their formation.

Harry also saw Tonks in front of him turn around and make a face at him.

Just when he was laughing, several strands of black mist flew towards them from all around.

"Enemy! Enemy! Take out your wands, and Potter, remember my words!"

As soon as Moody finished speaking, more than a dozen spells flew around him.

Harry had his body close to the broom and didn't dare to look up, and he didn't even have the courage to raise his wand to help.

Looking down at the Thames, he wondered if he should lower his altitude and fly along the river.

Doing so can at least ensure that he would not fall to his death if he were hit by a spell.

"Avada Kedavra!"

Suddenly, a person's upper body emerged from a black mist.

The green light of the Killing Curse hit Emmeline Vance beside him. Seeing her drop from her broom into the river, Harry looked terrified.

The number of Death Eaters was clearly superior.

In addition, Moody and the others have to be distracted to take care of Harry, so they gradually fell into a disadvantage.

"Hold on, support will be here soon!"

Moody's gruff voice came from ahead.

Harry raised his head slightly to look at the distant sky, but where is the support?

Just then, a black mist appeared in the sky and quickly came to Harry and the others.

Immediately afterwards, Lucas Grindelwald's head popped out from it!.
