"Professor Mag, what are you doing?" Molly asked in a shocked voice. Her eyes widened as she glanced at the wand in Mag's hand.
"Mother, Professor Mag is confirming our identities," Bill explained. He pressed his hand on his mother's arm. "The fact that the mysterious person could appear so timely tonight means that the news of us transferring Harry has been leaked. If one of us didn't betray the Order of the Phoenix, then it's very likely that one of us has been impersonated."
"Er … I'm sorry, I was careless …" Arthur was a little embarrassed for his carelessness, but he seemed to have adjusted his attitude as he apologized. He looked at Bill and Mag cautiously, and his hand moved closer to the wand at his waist. "So, Mileva, what was the last thing Dumbledore said before he carried out the operation?"
"Harry is our most precious hope. Trust him." The head of Gryffindor, who was wearing an emerald green robe, looked very serious at this moment. She ignored Arthur after she answered. Instead, she looked at Bill's high ponytail and Fred's face.
Fred unconsciously held his breath. He rubbed his nose nervously and stood up straight out of habit. George saw his brother's nervousness, and he couldn't help but try to ease the atmosphere. "Fred, I thought you would go on a date with Angelina after you're done with your work … Why are you so … Er, I'm sorry, Professor …"
Professor Mag retracted his stern gaze that was looking at George through his square spectacles, and made himself face Bill. "Mr. William Weasley, which student recognized my Animagus creed on the podium when you first attended my transfiguration class in your first year?"
Bill put his hands in his trouser pockets and looked at Mag with open eyes. He answered without any hesitation, "It was me, Professor."
"A commendable achievement, Mr. William Weasley. After you graduated, the next person to achieve this was Mr. Allen Harris …" Professor Mag nodded slightly before turning his gaze to Fred. "So, Mr. Fred Weasley, how many times did I punish you and your brother when you were in seventh grade?"
Fred scratched his head bitterly. He really couldn't remember the exact number, so he turned to George for help. However, he saw that his twin brother was also shrugging helplessly with a constipated expression on his face. This was probably one of the members of the duo who had done the most pranks ever since the establishment of the Hogwarts School. He looked at Professor Mag's serious face, and became even more terrified. With a crying face, he stammered, "I've lost count, Professor."
"Looks like you are indeed the real Mr. Fred Weasley …" Professor Mag said in a very serious tone. He seemed to be trying hard not to laugh. She nodded in agreement and finally withdrew the wand in her hand. Molly knocked Fred's head in dissatisfaction when she saw that he had acknowledged her.
"I have to tell the truth," Fred muttered and jumped to the side.
After the second knock, Molly rushed to George and hugged him in her arms. George, who was not as agile as Bill, could only be hugged by his mother in this embarrassing way in front of everyone.
"I'm sorry, Mrs. Weasley. We're a little late." Mag tucked a strand of hair behind his ear. "The mysterious man's men seemed to think that I had brought the real Harry. After that, the Aura also came and harassed me … In the end, I didn't go back to the safe house as planned. Instead, I brought Fred here directly. Arthur, what's going on?"
"Let's go in first. Molly can get you something to drink … "Arthur clapped his hands and beckoned everyone into the house." Mileva, I'll tell you after we go in and watch the TV. You'll understand … "
Molly felt much better when the whole family entered the house safely. She went to the kitchen. The others had gathered in front of the TV again, watching the live broadcast of the duel between Lord Voldemort and Allen on TV. Arthur was talking to Mag, who was on the run and didn't know much about the current situation.
"I think we can celebrate with some wine." Molly brought out some washed fruits and some homemade cakes. She also asked Mr. Skillful to get some bottles of honey wine and some wine glasses. She pulled out the corks and poured the wine into the glasses. Then, she gave some to the adult wizards present. Ron and Jenny looked at her eagerly, so she asked them to go to the kitchen and get her some pumpkin juice, butter, and beer.
"People will talk about it for many years if you put the mysterious man in Gryffindor!" Arthur laughed so hard that even his bald head was a little red.
"Allan shouldn't have dressed Mystery Man up like Harry Success!" Jenny was a little impatient after hearing the discussion at the meeting for many years.
Ron watched the duel on TV become more normal. "Jenny, but to be honest, I thought it was pretty funny just now …"
George looked at his sister and knew what she was thinking. He deliberately teased her. "Sister, are you trying to exclude the mysterious man from The Dark Lord Harry Lord Voldemort Potter's girlfriend?"
"Gryffindor will also be laughed at …" Professor Mag took a sip of honey wine and disagreed. However, she looked much more relaxed and cheerful than when she first arrived. "Fortunately, Mr. Allen Harris didn't show his true colors when he was a student … Hmm?" Professor Mag suddenly stood up from the sofa. This abrupt movement attracted everyone's attention. Before they could ask, Professor Mag put her index finger to her lips and signaled them to be quiet.
The Weasley family was baffled to see Professor Mag pull out his magic wand and move to the window to check on what was going on outside with a serious expression. The cheerful atmosphere in the room froze all of a sudden, and the atmosphere in the quiet room gradually became tense.
Out of habit, Molly raised her head to look at the clock on the wall. Instantly, her hair stood on end. Everyone in the house was pointing to danger. She reflexively pulled out her wand and turned her head to tug at Arthur. She happened to meet her husband's worried gaze.
After everything quieted down, the adepts in the living room could vaguely hear the sound of disorderly footsteps coming from the outside. Behind the house was a large garden overgrown with weeds. There was a large green pond with many frogs in it. Around the pond was a hollow filled with reeds.
Arthur and Bill looked at each other and nodded. Then he clenched his magic wand and said in a low voice, "Aura won't come from here. Pull out your magic wands and stay at home …" After that, he walked through the kitchen and went to the yard. The twins jumped up and followed him.
Mag stopped after taking a few steps. He looked at Molly and Ron and Ginny, and said, "Mrs. Weasley, I don't think we should split up at a time like this. Take care of the children and follow us out."
Molly nodded. She didn't want her husband and sons to go on an adventure. Without hesitation, she dragged Jenny behind her and yelled at Ron, "Ron, stay behind me and watch over Jenny. If you dare to run off, I swear you'll be wearing Charlie's old uniform for the whole year. There won't be a new one!"
Ron felt that he had been treated unfairly. He was a little unhappy that he was the only one who had been warned. However, he didn't say much at this time of possible danger. He just pulled out his magic wand and followed his mother angrily.
The sorcerers in the Shabby Abode quickly ran into the courtyard. Among the rustling trees and bushes, more black shadows began to descend from the sky brazenly, surrounding the Shabby Abode and blocking the front and back paths. The eyes of these dark sorcerers dressed as Death Eaters shone through the gaps of their hoods or masks. More than a dozen magic wands with shiny tips were aimed at the Shabby Abode.
