Chapter 330

~7 min read 1,325 words

Facing John's unreasonable excuse, one of them still spoke.

"What makes you think we are Death Eaters! This is slander!"

"That's right! We are servants of the Malfoy family, let us go quickly!"

Hearing this, Narcissa, who hadn't stopped her steps from beginning to end, also stopped, and John looked at Narcissa with a smile and said.

"Mrs. Malfoy, is what they said true?"

This one couldn't be treated like a Death Eater.

She was still the mistress of the Malfoy family on the surface, had a legal identity, and had to go through regular procedures.

But as long as she said one word of truth, John would dare to catch her too and send her to the Ministry of Magic together.

Regardless of this or that, go in and squat first.

"No."

However, Narcissa denied it very decisively, and after speaking, she turned and left.

The five men widened their eyes immediately.

John also raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Narcissa! You come back to me!"

"Don't you fear the Master's punishment!"

Several of them roared at Narcissa angrily.

Narcissa didn't stop her steps, only slightly turned her head to look at John.

"Respected Mr. Merrick, these men have been following me; thank you very much for helping me drive away these lawless elements."

"As for who they are, I don't know at all; I only hope you can deal with these lawless elements properly."

After saying this, Narcissa left the scene directly.

The men also glared with wide eyes, not expecting Narcissa to actually dare to abandon them.

John stared at Narcissa's departing back, feeling a bit strange.

Afterward, he suddenly realized.

She must know that it wasn't a wise move to get involved with them at this time, right?

After all, he dared to take action on the street; anyone with a brain wouldn't dare to show any relationship with them.

That must be it.

"Mother, is no one following us?"

"Hmm, just as I expected, that Merrick is a brute, but he just happens to be able to help us solve the Dark Lord's line of sight."

Inside Platform 9¾, Draco waited for his mother Narcissa to pick him up.

He saw that the Death Eaters who used to monitor them were gone, and he also remembered the letter his mother had sent.

"Are we really going to do this, Mother?"

Draco said with some uncertainty.

"That's right, Draco, we have no choice; following the Dark Lord will only lead to an abyss of no return."

"You don't need to worry about Father; I have already used all my connections to arrange a fake death and prison break for him."

"Then our family will escape abroad together, escape to a place without the Dark Lord, and start over."

The reason why they didn't go to save Lucius before was because they hadn't made the determination to make a complete break, didn't dare to act rashly, and were also afraid that Voldemort would punish them if he found out.

Now that they had decided, there was no need to continue hesitating.

Hearing these words, Draco's face turned a bit pale.

All of this was too sudden.

Two days ago, not long after Professor Slughorn's dance party ended, he accidentally overheard John and Harry's holiday plans.

They said they were going abroad for a week during the holiday.

At the time, Draco thought this was an opportunity to make a contribution, so he passed the news back home.

As a result, what he received the next day was an even more ruthless order from the Dark Lord.

And his mother's desperate determination.

"Making a complete break with the Dark Lord is our only chance to survive."

Narcissa hugged Draco gently, showing the strongest foundation of a mother in a desperate situation.

"But Mother, where should we escape to...?"

"We have the Dark Mark on us, the Dark Lord can find us at any time..."

Draco asked with some worry.

Narcissa had already thought about this point and said directly.

"Follow Merrick and the others directly; aren't they going abroad to travel? Then we will follow them."

"They will be our best shield and bodyguard."

"Once we are abroad, we will find a way to wash away the Dark Mark."

"We still have some family assets, and some connections abroad; by then we can change our identities and start a new life."

Draco opened his mouth slightly, but in the end, he didn't say anything; he chose to believe his mother unconditionally.

The time spent following the Dark Lord made him completely disillusioned with this once-pure-blood faith.

Voldemort was just a tyrant who maintained his rule by relying on blood theory, fear, and violence.

He was not a savior who helped their pure-blood rise at all.

What's more, witnessing John, a Muggle-born wizard, walk step by step to today, also made him deeply doubt the pure-blood theory that his parents had instilled in him for a long time.

For the first time.

He looked forward to John and the others defeating Voldemort more than anything.

In this way, he and his family could truly get rid of Voldemort's shadow.

The steam on the platform canopy rose slowly, the heavy snow that had been falling for several days finally stopped, and a ray of sunlight pierced through the clouds, spilling obliquely on the two of them.

Order of the Phoenix.

Those Death Eaters didn't delay John and the others' time and were handed over directly to the accompanying Aurors to be taken back.

John and Hermione didn't go home immediately either, but first came to the Order of the Phoenix.

They needed to discuss the next action plan.

"We'll set off tomorrow, take the train abroad."

"This is your pass."

After John arrived, Professor Moody didn't have any nonsense and directly handed John a dark blue passport.

It was somewhat similar to a Muggle passport, but the inner pages were stamped with the Ministry of Magic's seal.

Wizard entry and exit were the same as Muggle entry and exit; they both required visas and registration procedures.

Wizard procedures were generally handled uniformly by the International Magical Cooperation Department of the Ministry of Magic of the country, and the passport would also be attached with an anti-counterfeiting spell, which would only appear under the detection of designated ports.

Originally, an underage wizard like him couldn't handle it directly.

But John's identity was special, and with the Order of the Phoenix coming forward, his passport application was approved as a special case very simply.

"The Minister also greeted that side separately, so there won't be any extra screening for us."

John nodded; this was ready.

Harry on the side heard that they were going abroad by train and felt strange.

"Why don't you just use Apparition or Portkeys to go abroad?"

John patted the passport in his hand and smiled.

"Did you forget that our purpose is to lure Voldemort into taking action?"

"Then naturally, we have to go abroad in the most open and aboveboard way."

"Using Portkeys and Apparition, how would they know where we went?"

"And cross-border teleportation is illegal."

After Harry finished listening, he nodded suddenly, but complained: "You even know it's illegal..."

John smiled unhappily; he was being sarcastic to him here.

At this time, Professor Moody came to Harry's side, and without any nonsense, directly plucked a hair from Harry.

"Ouch!" Harry cried out in pain.

Then he saw Professor Moody stuff that hair into a small silver bottle; it was Polyjuice Potion.

Tomorrow he would go abroad with John in Harry's appearance.

This operation naturally wouldn't let Harry fall into danger.

Similarly, neither would Hermione.

She handed the hair she had prepared long ago to Tonks; Tonks took the hair and also stuffed it into a bottle of potion.

Tomorrow Tonks would go abroad with John in Hermione's image.

As for John's parents, they would be played by Sirius and Professor Lupin.
