Chapter 1058 - 788: Chaos_3
Death Eaters! Harry could never forget that attire.
"Damn, how did they find us!" Ron shouted in panic.
"The Fidelius Charm has its limits and it’s likely we’ve exceeded them without realizing it."
Cedric retained a shred of calmness, "Also there’s the Tonkses, if the Death Eaters have been following them, they could find the general location."
"What should we do." Ron turned to Harry, "They must be coming for you, let’s run!"
He grabbed Harry’s arm, trying to drag him away, but unexpectedly, Harry stood still as if hit by a Full Body-Bind Curse.
At that moment, a light zipped past above them, it was a Death Eater’s spell.
"What are you waiting for, Harry!" Ron shouted anxiously: "Hurry up, or it’ll be too late."
"Don’t panic." Cedric said, "They haven’t found us yet."
"No, they soon will." Kael stood up, his shoulder-borne Fawkes also opened his eyes.
"Can they break through the protection of the Fidelius Charm?"
"It’s unrelated." Kael frowned.
"My dear niece, we’re here for your wedding, why don’t you come out and greet us." A sharp voice rang out among the Death Eaters. "Come out quickly, don’t keep your guests waiting."
She took off the mask on her face, revealing a familiar, deranged face, somewhat resembling Mrs. Tonks on the ground but entirely different.
Seeing no response, she suddenly laughed, her wrist turning slightly, pointing the wand at the Tonkses on the ground.
"Since you’re unwilling to greet us, then, Cruci—"
"Stop!"
Accompanied by a stern shout, Tonks stepped out of the Fidelius Charm’s range and faced the Death Eaters, with Lupin closely following her.
"Haha, Nymphadora Tonks, my dear niece." Bellatrix looked coldly at them, "I thought my sister marrying a Muggle-born was shameful enough, but her daughter is even more shameless, choosing a werewolf..."
"It’s none of your business, Bellatrix." Tonks said sternly, "You’re not welcome here, leave!"
"You want to drive me off? Hahaha..." Bellatrix suddenly laughed hysterically, "...Did you hear that...she wants me to leave...hahaha...Crucio!"
A beam of light shot from the wand, hitting Mr. Tonks, and he immediately curled up, trembling uncontrollably.
"Stop!"
"Stupefy!"
"Petrificus Totalus!"
Tonks and Lupin immediately counterattacked, forcing Bellatrix to move her wand, but this enraged the accompanying Death Eaters as well, who also drew their wands, and the battle began instantly.
The invited band hadn’t expected such a scene, they dropped their instruments and fled in all directions, using Apparition as soon as they left the protective magic’s range.
Others not in the band rushed toward the Death Eaters.
Sirius rushed out first, using the Iron Armor Spell to shield Lupin and Tonks from the first wave of spell attacks.
Mrs. Weasley hurriedly pushed Ginny into the house and then joined the battle as well.
"We should help too." Harry said, running over without turning back.
"Wait!" Hermione stopped him. "They must be looking for you, we need to leave here first."
"I can’t!" Harry’s eyes were red, "I can’t convince myself to just leave, especially not here."
Hermione instinctively glanced at a nearby house, she understood Harry’s meaning, yet reason told her not to let Harry act recklessly.
"No, you must come with me." She grabbed Harry’s arm, dragging him in another direction.
Within the Fidelius Charm’s protection range, Apparition was impossible, they needed to get outside it first.
Ron hesitated for a moment but decisively stood beside Hermione.
"Let go of me!" Harry struggled, "Dumbledore is here too, why should we run, let me go."
Harry’s shout was timely, as soon as he finished, the force on his arm lessened significantly.
"Yeah, Dumbledore is here." Ron blurted, glancing around, "But where is he, why hasn’t he come out, I just saw him a while ago."
