Chapter 784: "Transfer" (Edited)

Although Fish couldn't answer Harry's question, he didn't have to wait long. Because soon the Order of the Phoenix arrived, with Sirius, Lupin, Hagrid, and the Weasley twins.

Sirius was the first to enter, giving Harry a tight hug.

"Good morning, Harry!" He seemed very excited. "You can finally get out of this damn place!"

Harry waited for Sirius to let go and asked again, "How's everything going? When do we start the operation?"

"Relax, Harry," Lupin said, approaching and patting him on the shoulder. "Our men are enchanting the Muggles in the area to stay at home no matter what they hear. Kingsley and the others can't make it here, so we're a bit short on manpower."

"Will the battleground be here?" Harry asked in astonishment.

"I can't help it," Sirius shrugged. "After Snape 'informed' Voldemort that we were going to move you ahead of schedule, Pius has been on a roll, issuing several new decrees, including one that prohibits using Muggle fireplaces, taking Portkeys, etc..."

Lupin took over and continued explaining, "And you're not of age yet, so if you use Apparition Charm or any other magic to move, the Trace will lock you in place. Voldemort and Pius don't believe the Order is dumb enough to 'flee' with you in this manner."

While they were talking, Fish peeked his head through the door and looked outside.

"Fred, is Minerva here, and Hermione, meow?"

?ω?

Fish asked, turning toward the door.

"Professor McGonagall must be enchanting the Muggles right now, but Hermione and Ron aren't here," Fred extended his hands. "Although they're both adults, everyone still thinks they're too young. Mum even tried to keep George and me at home too, but with the help of Bill and Percy, we managed to convince her... Ron is probably still having a fit at home."

"Awwww..."

(≥△≤)

When Fish learned that Professor McGonagall would come with him, he pouted a little... he was mainly worried that Professor McGonagall would prevent him from fighting Voldemort.

As for Hermione not coming, Fish agreed... she's so weak, what if she gets hurt?

Then Fish understood a bit why Professor McGonagall didn't want him to fight Voldemort.

Of course, understanding is one thing, but there was still a battle to be fought, and Fish didn't believe he would lose against Voldemort, the defeated man.

Moments later, Professor McGonagall arrived, accompanied by other members of the Order of the Phoenix, including Moody, as well as Bill and Fleur, although those working at the Ministry, like Mr. Weasley and Percy, were not present, as they had other commitments.

"Minerva~"

●ω●

Fish was the first to greet her, his big green eyes winking at her.

Professor McGonagall naturally knew what the little cat was up to by being so attentive, she patted him on the head with a smirk and said, "Alright, I won't stop you, but you have to promise me that you won't take any unnecessary risks."

"No problem, nya!"

(?ω?)

Fish agreed without hesitation.

How can you call it a risk when you're only fighting Voldemort?

With Professor McGonagall's approval, Fish followed her alongside the group.

"We were going to have some of you drink the Polyjuice Potion and pretend to be you," Sirius continued talking to Harry about the preparations for the day. "So that Voldemort would be more convinced that we were going to move you, but Mad-Eye believes that we're going to face Voldemort and the Death Eaters face to face, and with a different body, it's going to be a bit inconvenient, so we'll simply pretend to be escorting you."

Harry nodded, "I wouldn't want anyone else to take the risk for me either."

"Actually," Moody said, spinning his magical eye in a rather inappropriate manner, "It might be safer to pretend it's you because, according to Albus, Voldemort is going to take care of you himself, so the other Death Eaters won't be able to harm you."

Mundungus shrugged and grimaced, "But I'd rather face a horde of Death Eaters than be the target of You-Know-Who."

"Voldemort is Fish's prey, nya! You can't take him away!"

(ΦДΦ)

Fish became upset when he heard that Harry had been tasked with facing Voldemort without permission.

"No one is going to take him away!" Professor McGonagall slapped him on the head. "But if Voldemort comes after Harry in person, no one is to blame."

"Don't worry! With Fish around, there's no chance that coward Voldemort will come after Harry!"

(`ω´)

Fish said confidently with his arms crossed over his chest.

"Very well!" Moody said brusquely, "We'll take care of Voldemort's minions!" As he said this, he pulled out a map and spread it out in front of everyone.

Harry looked at it closely and saw that it must be a map of the Little Whinging area.

"To keep the innocent Muggles as safe as possible, we'll pretend to escape in this direction later," Moody said, pointing to the park that Harry used to frequent as a child. "This neighborhood was hit with a Muggle-Repelling Charm last night by our men, and the surrounding residents have just been directed by our guides to chain themselves to other locations."

His fake eye shifted toward Harry, "Next, it's the same as when we escorted you to the Order of the Phoenix, on the flying broomstick, and Hagrid on that flying motorbike."

"Arthur made some modifications." Hagrid smiled. "Now it has a couple of mechanisms on the handlebars, one of which was my idea, with help from George and Fred."

"You'll be amazed when it's finished!" George raised his eyebrows triumphantly.

"Furthermore!" Moody abruptly interrupted the twins' boasting, "Voldemort has invented a counter-curse for the Patronus Charm, and though it's as difficult to learn as the Patronus Charm, we can't be sure how many Death Eaters have mastered it, so if any Dementors appear, we'll have to hand them over to Fish, and in the meantime, we'll have to escort Harry downstairs and stop the others, including Voldemort, in the meantime."

Mundungus frowned and muttered, "Just to be clear, I'm only responsible for the Death Eaters."

The others ignored him, Bill smirked and smiled fearlessly, "This is truly a difficult task."

Fleur stood by his side, looking at him with an affectionate gaze, "You're a brave man, dear."

Mundungus's expression instantly changed, and he shouted loudly, "It's just Voldemort, right? There's nothing to fear! I can handle him with one hand."

"I-I was just kidding earlier..." Mundungus, who had snapped out of Fleur's charm, had a sad expression, not daring to look in Bill's direction.

Once this brief charade was over, the group walked out into the courtyard, where Harry glanced enviously at the Firebolt in Professor McGonagall's hands before mounting his Nimbus 2000.

The others climbed onto their flying brooms, while Fish transformed into a striped cat and jumped onto Hagrid's motorbike.

"I'm going to count to three," Moody shouted. "One... two... three."

The motorbike roared loudly, and along with the flying brooms surrounding it, Harry soared into the air, ascending higher and higher as he moved away towards the park.
