Chapter 472 Lace Dress Bellatrix

They ran excitedly towards Lupin.He was wearing a thick black traveling cloak and looked tired but happy to see them.

"Didn't see Severus?" he asked.

"No," said Harry, "how is everyone doing?"

"All good, but we're obviously being watched by Death Eaters, and there are two Death Eaters outside in the plaza," Lupine said. "It looks like Severus didn't tell the Death Eaters about this place."

"Perhaps he forgot."

"Maybe." Lupine nodded without further explanation. "I had to Apparate right up to the top of the front steps just now to make sure they didn't see me. There's no way they'd know you're here or they'd send more people over. They've got sentries everywhere you have contact, Harry."

"But I think we've been exposed," Harry said somewhat guiltyly. "The owl may have given away our location. The Daily Prophet brings the latest paper every day."

"That's a problem, no wonder I see a little more Death Eaters at the door, but it's not a big deal," said Lupine. "Even though I don't know why you're going to have to leave, if you need help, we'll be by your side. We all have the same goal."

"Yeah." Harry nodded.

Lupine nodded slightly and murmured, "For the greater good."

"What?" Harry didn't catch what Lupine said.

Lupine froze for a moment, but quickly shook his head, "Nothing."

"By the way, what happened after you left the Burrow? I have a lot to tell you."

They came down to the kitchen, and Hermione pointed her wand at the grate, and the flames sprang up instantly, creating the illusion of comfort on the hard stone walls and reflecting firelight on the long wooden table.Lupine produced some butterbeer bottles from his traveling cloak, and the four of them sat down.

"I was supposed to come here two days ago, and I learned from Molly that you had sneaked out, so I asked Lord Slytherin, and he generously told me that you came here." Lupine said, "So, did you come here directly?"

"No," said Harry, "after an encounter with two Death Eaters in a cafe."

Lupine spilled most of the Butterbeer on his chest.

"What? Lord Slytherin didn't tell me"

They told what had happened, and when they had finished, Lupine looked horrified, then rejoiced.

"Fortunately, Lord Slytherin arrived in time. Dolohov and Dolphin Rolle are extremely dangerous Death Eaters. It is definitely not easy for you to escape from them." Lupine said happily.

"Lord Slytherin?" Hermione asked suspiciously.

"Yeah, that's what we call him now," said Lupine. "If it wasn't for him and the Ministry of Magic, we'd probably have had a lot of casualties."

"How on earth did they find you so quickly? It's impossible to track down the Apparated man, unless you catch him when he disappears!" Lupine was still a little scared in retrospect. "It's absolutely impossible!"

"It's unlikely they happened to be walking there at that time either, are they?" Harry asked.

"We wondered," said Hermione tentatively, "does Harry still have traces?"

"Impossible!" said Lupine, and Ron looked smug, and Harry breathed a sigh of relief. "First of all, if he still has traces, they'll be sure he's here, won't they? If that's the case, I think Lord Slytherin will tell us. But I can't figure out how they followed you to the cafe. It's worrying, it's worrying."

He looked worried, but from Harry's point of view the question could be put aside.

"Tell me what happened after we left. We haven't heard anything since we left."

"Oh, Kingsley told us. Arthur told him what happened when he was at work. We knew you wanted to escape from the Burrow, but we didn't expect you to leave in such a hurry. As soon as Trace disappeared—you left."

"We have no other choice, we have to leave, this is the task that Hera gave me, and it is also what Dumbledore meant." Harry said, his eyes dimmed a little when the names of Dumbledore and Hera were mentioned.

"The Death Eaters turned the Burrow upside down," Lupine went on, "but apparently they found nothing. The Weasleys have all been transferred to the Ministry of Magic. We are grateful to Lord Slytherin for giving them a safe place, even though the Ministry of Magic is not having an easy time."

"What happened to the Ministry?" asked Ron, worried for his family's safety.

"It's okay, it's not as bad as you think, but they have to be on standby at all times to prevent the Death Eaters from invading." Lupine rubbed his head and said, "Since all the undercover agents were eliminated, the Ministry of Magic
The manpower is getting tighter, they don't have enough manpower to keep your family safe. "

"Then why don't they go somewhere else?"

"Because there's nowhere else," said Lupine, "and now that the war is well underway, they can use brutal magic without fear of being discovered and arrested, despite Lord Slytherin's efforts to capture them."

"Protection Charms didn't work?" Harry asked, remembering how effective they had been the night he and Hagrid crashed in Tonks' parents' garden.

"It can't be helped, Harry, do you understand? They have made no secret of their intentions, they are unscrupulous," Lupine continued with a sigh, "They were very rude and burned down Dedalus Diggle's house, but you know he is not there. They also used the Cruciatus Curse on the Tonks family, and they also tried to find out what happened to you after you went to their house."

"Oh!" Hermione couldn't help covering her mouth and exclaimed in a low voice.

"Don't worry, they're all right - obviously a little weak, but otherwise fine," Lupine explained wearily, but that didn't reassure Hermione in the slightest.

Harry and Hermione looked at each other, "We all know why they arrested Harry. Obviously, the Death Eaters have the right to speak in the wizarding world, but there will still be some positive reports about the Ministry of Magic. At least this proves that everything is getting better."

"But the above also fabricated an excuse to arrest Harry, I think you must have seen it." Lupine picked up the "Daily Prophet" folded on the table, "I think Lord Slytherin can't take care of the "Daily Prophet" for the time being. He simply doesn't have enough manpower."

"Then what is he busy with?"

"That's a good question, Harry, and that's exactly what I'm here for today." Lupine forced an ugly smile. "I informed Lord Slytherin before I came, and given the time, they should—"

Before Lupine could finish his sentence, there was a loud noise outside, and several hooded wizards suddenly appeared, and the leader was Slytherin, whom they had met a few times.

"Harry Potter!" Hera yelled loudly, and then several red lights shot out from the tip of his wand, hitting the Death Eaters who had no time to react, "fainted!"

The Death Eaters who had been besieged outside for two days were cleaned up almost instantly by Hera and his men. They lifted their hoods, revealing their youthful faces.This surprised Harry and the others, because they didn't look much older than them.

Probably just two years after graduation.

"Lord Slytherin!" Lupine whispered, quickly opened the door and walked out.

"Remus, have you and the children made it clear?" Hera narrowed her eyes and held her wand. "Do they know the mission on their shoulders?"

Lupine nodded. "I think they always knew they were brave kids."

"Very good." Hera said softly, "Then let them come out, hurry up and set off, we will protect their safety."

"No problem." Lupine turned his head and waved to the children, indicating that they could come out.

Harry and the others thanked Hera again, and then quickly Apparated and left.The only person who was slightly surprised was probably Ron, who strongly expressed his intention to help the ministry—his eyes were fixed on Hera all the time.Although he didn't say anything, Harry read in his eyes what he wanted to know.

Harry didn't blame him. If his parents were in such danger, he would want to be by their side, even if there was nothing he could do.

Watching Harry and the others leave, Hera held out her hand to Lupine, "Okay, Remus, let's go back to the ministry. The newspaper matter is really a headache. I think it can only be left to you, and they can't continue to deceive innocent people."

"Yes, our task is very difficult." Lupine said with a smile. Although he was very tired, at this moment, his smile was indeed so bright.

"For the greater good." Hera read softly.

"For the greater good." Lupine and the saints echoed in low voices.

Back at the Ministry of Magic, Reachfa's plan was basically finalized. They managed to get Bellatrix's hair with almost no effort through Snape's insider line, and the preparations were completed.In the minister's office, a long, shaggy lock of black hair curled up in a small glass medicine bottle.

"We don't have her wand, my lord," whispered Richfar to Hera. "I think that might be a hidden danger."

"But I don't think she would believe that someone dared to pretend to be her." Hera said as she picked up the small medicine bottle, ready to add it to the compound soup. "I really can't get used to the taste after drinking it for so long."

"For the greater good," whispered Richfar.

"I got it, I got it." Hera gritted her teeth and closed her eyes, putting the black hair into the brass jug.

Of course he wouldn't choose to drink it now, the Polyjuice Potion was only effective for an hour, and he had to drink it before entering Gringotts.

"For the greater good." Hera handed the brass wine jug to Richfa's face, and the meaning couldn't be more obvious.

Richfar took the brass jug with a sad face. He probably understood what the fate awaited him, but he couldn't resist.

After all, just a few seconds ago, he was taunting Hera in a weird way!

Richfa sighed, his expression became strange, his figure became distorted, Hera turned his head away, he had no intention of admiring Bellatrix's figure.

Not long after, Bellatrix Lestrange appeared in the minister's office. She was wearing a long black lace dress and tugging at the lace.

"She smells disgusting, worse than Goldigan! But I think that's enough for me, my lord, and we're ready to go." Richfar stood up, looking delighted in his lace tutu, which was almost impossible for Bellatrix to wear.

It was possible before she followed Voldemort.

"Okay, don't waste time." Hera said with a smile, "It's really a good dress! It suits you very well."

"It's Scottish, and I'm German, my lord," said Richfar grimly.

Hera nodded, "Alright, let's go."

They spun around in place, trying to focus on the intersection of Diagon Alley - the Leaky Cauldron.Hera gripped her wand tightly as they entered the oppressive darkness.A few seconds later, their feet touched the ground, and they opened their eyes to see Charing Cross Road.The Muggles hurried past, unaware of the tavern, with their early-morning listless expressions.

"Disappear without a trace!" Hera immediately read, and he disappeared from sight.After being strengthened by the Elder Wand, the Disillusionment Curse became even more mysterious, and no one could know Hera's figure unless someone touched it.

The Leaky Cauldron was almost deserted, and Tom, the hunchbacked, toothless proprietor, was now bald again, presumably because of poor business.He was cleaning the glass behind the bar, when several wizards who were whispering in the far corner dismissed Reachfa fearfully, and quickly retreated into the dark.

"Lady Lestrange," Tom whispered, bowing his head respectfully as Richfar passed by.

In fact, this is the norm in the wizarding world. No one wants to be involved in the war between Voldemort and Hera. No matter who is in power, they always want to make a living.

This made them have to make some compromises to the people on both sides at the same time-as a compromise for nothing.

"Yeah." Richfar nodded indifferently, playing Bellatrix Lestrange perfectly.

Hera followed Richfa carefully with the Disillusionment Charm so as not to run into anyone or anything.

They go through the arch to Diagon Alley.

The street was quiet. When the store opened, there were almost no customers outside. The winding cobblestone alleys had changed a lot. Compared with when Hera was making a living here, the alleys were bustling and lively before.But now, quite a few shops have been sealed with wooden boards, and a few more shops dealing in black magic items have been opened.

Hera recognized it at a glance, isn't this the original merchant in Knockturn Alley?
