HP Starlight

Seeing that both Snape and Esther had compromised, Dumbledore was finally satisfied.

"Gellert, will you go for a walk with me?" Dumbledore pulled Grindelwald away, leaving the room for the other two.

There was an awkward silence, Esther really wanted to talk to Snape, but didn't know where to start.

"I really want to see you on the battlefield this time." Esther tried hard to start, but found that the topic was not suitable.

"Be careful," Snape said succinctly.

"I will, I should have an advantage in the sky, after all I have been flying for so many years." Esther said with a relaxed smile.

The room fell silent again.

"Tonks and Lupine are married." Esther said without thinking, and then tried to take it back angrily.She found another topic that was even more inappropriate to talk about.

"Sorry." Snape replied softly.

"What?" Esther didn't hear him clearly.

"We can't get married just yet..." Snape said dryly.

"I know." Esther smiled generously, "I didn't mean that, I shouldn't mention them. You know that my life is a bit boring recently, and I don't have much to talk about, and you may not want to hear it."

"I want to hear it," Snape said, looking Esther in the eye.

Esther blushed a little, and she said simply, "Just run around, and then cast a defensive spell. Everyone is busy with their own things, and they don't talk much."

"You should join them in scolding me, so Black won't suspect you," Snape said bluntly.

"They don't know the inside story, but I'm different." Esther said uneasily with his hands together.

"You should pretend you don't know." Snape was calm.

"I pretended not to know. I usually talk less, and no one of them would find it strange."

"But you're upset. You don't want to hear them scold me, so you stay away from everyone and stay alone. I told you that you should hide your emotions and don't let others see your true thoughts."

"Are you here to teach me?" Esther was annoyed, "How do you know I'm not hiding? How do you know they saw my true thoughts? That's all your imagination. I'm fine in the Order of the Phoenix, everyone Believe in me a lot, no one talks bad about me, that's it, that's fine."

Snape still looked at Esther calmly.Esther fell into awkward silence again.

"They shouldn't have treated you like that." Finally Esther whispered what was in her heart, "You have endured so much, they don't know anything..."

Snape took Esther's hand, rubbed it repeatedly in his own, "Is it you who imposed the restriction in my office? Do you want to protect it? You go to the Astronomy Tower for Dumbledore It's for me too right? You don't have to do this, I'm capable of protecting myself. You should worry about yourself. I don't want your situation in the Order of the Phoenix to become difficult, especially that Black, don't let him have a chance to find you trouble."

"I know." Esther said softly, shaking Snape's hand back.

They sat there quietly holding hands, and this kind of company also made Esther feel at ease.It wasn't until Dumbledore and Grindelwald returned from the outside that Snape got up and left.Esther watched him walk out of the gate without stopping him.

As Dumbledore expected, the Order of the Phoenix held an emergency meeting two days later to discuss Harry's plan to leave Privet Drive again.

"Pierce Thicknesse, Director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, seems to be determined to make things difficult for us." Moody paced around the room. No access to the Floo network, no portkeys, no apparation in and out... Ha, he's not helping us protect Potter, he's helping the Death Eaters keep him from leaving safely."

"Maybe he's already a Death Eater." Sirius said quietly, leaning on the sofa.

"There's no proof that he's a Death Eater, so we can't do anything to him," Kingsley said in a thick voice.

"We can use the broomstick to transfer Potter as we did last time," Lupine suggested.

"The route is too long, even the nearest safe house, Voldemort has time to finish us all." Moody said irritably.

Esther knew that he should speak at this time, "What if there are several Harrys?"

Everyone turned their heads to Esther in the corner. "What do you mean?" asked Moody gruffly.

"Using Polyjuice Potion and transferring several Potters together, Voldemort may not be able to tell which one is real so quickly." Esther said calmly.

"It's a way," said Moody.

"Harry won't agree," said Hermione loudly.Ron tugged Hermione's arm lightly, and Hermione glared at him before retreating back into the sofa.

"Leave him alone, that's the best way. And we don't necessarily meet Voldemort, if he believes false information." Tonks said optimistically.

"That's it." Moody made a decision. "I should have some Polyjuice Potion."

"If it's not enough, I have some." Esther gestured.

"Very well, then, who wants to stand in for Potter?" Moody exclaimed.

Ron stood up first, followed by the twins Fred and George, Hermione walked up to Ron and shook his hand, Fleur also stood up.Esther looked at the number of people and decided to give up his job as a security guard and join the stand-in team.

"Then we have seven Potters." Moody nodded, telling everyone to go back to their seats, and continued, "Each Potter has a bodyguard. I must emphasize that bodyguards are more dangerous than doubles. Death Eaters may I will show mercy to Potter's subordinates, but I will definitely not spare the bodyguards. Please think about it before making a decision. Then, who is willing to be a bodyguard to participate in this operation."

Almost everyone else stood up.Tonks knocked over the tea tray on the table, knocking Hagrid up against the ceiling.

"No, not so much," Moody said. "Dedalore, Hestia, you are responsible for transferring the Dursleys. Kingsley, you continue to carry out the mission of the Ministry of Magic, and don't let them target you so early. Mi Leva, you still have freshmen and Bubbaji, I hope she's still alive. Then Sirius, Remus, Tonks, Arthur, Bill, Hagrid and me."

"Are we all going to use broomsticks?" Fleur asked. "I'm not very good at that."

"Actually I want Potter and Hagrid to ride Sirius' motorcycles. Snape will tell Voldemort that Potter is good at riding broomsticks. Then we will do the opposite, let the double ride the broomstick and the real Potter ride the motorcycle. If Mademoiselle Delacour isn't good at broomsticks—" Moody paused for a moment.

"Perhaps a Thestral—they're very obedient and know their way, they just don't have a very good reputation—" said Hagrid, not quite confidently.

"That's okay, I'm willing to ride a Thestral." Fu Rong shook her hair, showing a gentle smile.

"Can I ride a Thestral?" Hermione asked, looking at Moody.

"Well, you two ride thestrals, Potter and Hagrid ride motorcycles, and the rest ride broomsticks, and that's it," Moody said gruffly.

Before the action, Esther didn't go to the Burrow again.She worried that she would not bear to see these companions who were about to be in great danger.Dumbledore and Grindelwald seemed to be busy with something and never saw anyone.But that's okay, Esther can't help but want to lose his temper when he sees Dumbledore now.

At noon on Saturday, Esther went to the Burrow to join the others.Seeing everyone talking and laughing easily, Esther had to use Occlumency to hide her pain deeper.

"Esther," Moody called her suddenly, "you and I are in a group, the destination is my house, and you have to be mentally prepared. Voldemort may be the first to chase us."

"That would be great." Esther said quietly.That way at least he wouldn't have to face Snape.

Moody nodded in satisfaction.

After dinner, Moody called everyone to prepare to go.Everyone had a Disintegration Charm, and an Invisibility Charm on the rides.

At Moody's command, Esther took off on the back of his broomstick.The sun sank little by little, and the sky became darker and darker until it was completely dark.After a long journey, the broomstick finally landed in the back garden of Harry's house.

There was a loud thud when Hagrid's skidbike died.Harry spotted them when he heard the movement, and happily opened the door to greet them.Esther hugged him with one hand and stood in the corner of the Dursleys' kitchen with a broomstick in hand.

Moody and Harry introduce the current situation.When he heard that someone was going to be his substitute, he strongly objected.

After a heated argument, Hermione was still quick-sighted, and grabbed a few hairs from the back of Harry's head.Esther felt her scalp hurt a little.

The fake Harrys who were about to drink Polyjuice Potion stood in a row and drank the potion Moody handed them over.

The feeling of melting and burning swept through his body again.Esther struggled to draw in more air to ease the burning pain.In a few seconds, she had completely changed into Harry's image.

Moody pulled out replacement clothes and props.Esther took a suit and went back to the corner to change.Despite Harry's body, she wasn't used to being stared at as she changed clothes.She put on her glasses, took a snow owl specimen, and waited quietly for the next order.

When everyone was ready, Esther followed Moody onto his broomstick.

"Good luck everyone!" cried Moody. "I'm counting to three. One...two...three."

Esther felt herself leaning back and almost falling.She hugged Moody quickly.The sound of the wind rang in her ears, she looked around, and finally took a look at the figures running away, a deep apology welled up in her heart.

The moment he flew out of the protective layer, the Death Eaters appeared in front of him.Screams erupted, and Esther used Occlumency to suppress the guilt and drew her wand to fight.The green light flew around, and Esther huddled tightly behind Moody, making it easier for him to control the broomstick.

Suddenly, a black shadow chased after him.Esther looked at Voldemort who was flying freely in the air without any support, and the blood all over his body cooled down.She was mentally prepared to meet Voldemort, but Voldemort in this flying state still terrified her.

While waving his wand, Moody manipulated the broom to avoid attacks from all directions.Voldemort was after them, trying to get one of the Killing Curses to hit Esther.Esther mustered up the courage to fight back.Due to the quality of the Seeker and the predatory nature of the bat, she took a Death Eater off her broomstick in no time.

Just as she was excited about her success, Voldemort's Killing Curse suddenly shot from a tricky angle.Moody reacted quickly to dodge the spell, but the spell hit the handle of the broomstick and exploded, ripping the broom to shreds like flimsy parchment.

Moody and Esther lost their ability to fly and began to accelerate downward.Soon the figures of the Death Eaters were getting further and further away, but the curse flew after them.Moody's wand was knocked off in the explosion.He could only use his body to protect Est as much as possible.Seeing several rays of light sinking into Moody's body, Esther was terrified and speechless.She held on to Moody, who was in a coma, and silently said to reduce the shock and stop the speed in her heart.

Despite the spell, Esther was thrown black in the eyes.She tried to make herself aware of her surroundings, and found herself lying in an unfamiliar neighborhood.She got up quickly and ran to Moody to wake him up.

"Professor Moody! Professor Moody?" she whispered to him, shaking.

Moody lay motionless on the ground, the magic eye disappeared, and the artificial leg fell off.The only good thing is that he is still breathing.Esther tries to wake Moody with a spell, but to no avail.She was extremely nervous, her senses became extremely sensitive, and even a little movement would increase her anxiety.She didn't know when the Death Eaters would come looking for them.She desperately needed a safe place to hide, but Moody wasn't in the right state for apparition.

She conjured up a stretcher and dragged Moody up to fix it, picked up the split leg and put it on, but the magic eye and wand didn't seem to be around, and she tried several summoning spells and they didn't show up.She had to take the unconscious Moody to find a place to settle down first so that he could heal his injuries.

Esther walked through the maze-like alleyways, hoping to find an empty house to settle down.Suddenly she heard someone talking not far away, "Go look there, Clegg and I will look here, and we will meet later."

Unexpectedly, he chased him so quickly, Este didn't have time to choose, and quickly opened the nearest door with a magic spell, regardless of whether there was anyone, and broke in with Moody.

Snoring came from the upstairs bedroom.She put Moody down softly, trying not to make a sound.She looked out of the window through the sheer curtain, and saw two Death Eaters approaching.Esther cast an anti-tracking spell on the house and added a protective spell, hoping they wouldn't find her.

Esther checked Moody, and the mixed attacks of the spell made Moody's situation worse.Esther lifted the spell while combing, and managed to control the injury with all her strength.But when Moody will wake up is still unknown.

It was darker outside than before, and even the twilight of the stars disappeared.Not knowing if the Death Eaters were still patrolling nearby, Esther didn't dare to go out to check rashly.She called out the scattered Patronuses to send a message to The Burrow and Godric's Hollow.She told them that Moody was unconscious and couldn't move for the time being, and that the Death Eaters were nearby, so don't come looking for them.

Esther stayed with Moody until daylight, healing him every half hour.The owner of the house yawned and went downstairs. When he saw the two uninvited guests, he screamed in fright.Esther hurriedly cast him a confusion spell, making him think they were relatives who had defected to him.

After two days, Moody finally woke up.Esther wanted to send him to St. Mungo's for further treatment, but he insisted on returning to the Burrow first.Esther had no choice but to obey his wishes and take him to Apparate back.Before leaving, Esther cast an oblivion spell on the owner of the house, forgetting everything about seeing them.

They moved under cover of night to the hill closest to the Burrow.Moody still couldn't move freely, Esther conjured up a stretcher to carry him, and carefully went down the slope, listening carefully to the movement nearby.They were lucky and didn't encounter Death Eaters, but the troubles along the way were enough to make Esther tremble with fear.

"That's right, always be vigilant..." Moody said weakly.

The air rippled as they passed through the barrier.Before reaching the Burrow door, Sirius and Mr. Weasley were waiting for them with their wands raised.Harry followed them, and the others looked at them from windows or doorways.

"Proof!" cried Sirius.

Esther turned into a bat and back again, saying, "I've been with Mad-Eye, he doesn't have to prove it, does he?"

Sirius and Mr. Weasley put down their guard and helped carry Moody's stretcher.Harry ran over and hugged Esther, "You haven't heard from you for two days, we thought you were caught by Death Eaters."

Esther patted Harry on the back and walked into the Burrow with him.

"Where are the others? Are they all right?" Moody asked in a weak voice, losing his former momentum and looking so vulnerable.

"Everyone's wounds are healed, only George lost an ear, damn Snape wounded him with black magic." Sirius said viciously.

Esther stared blankly at the teacup in her hand.

"Have you found out who leaked the news?" Moody asked.

"No. The only suspect, we haven't had time to interrogate." Sirius stared at Est and said.

"What do you mean?" Esther looked back at him defiantly.

"I haven't seen you for a few days before the operation. We all know that you have a good relationship with Snape, and you let Dumbledore go the night he died." Sirius said rudely.

Esther showed a disdainful expression, "Is it still your old grievances? I stayed at home for a few days and didn't go out, and there is a difference between 'not stopping' and 'letting go'."

"What we've discussed, Sirius, can't be Esther, is her stand-in plan," Arthur interjected, "Mad-Eye said that Voldemort would definitely think that Harry with him was real. If she leaked the news, she would definitely not choose to be the most dangerous substitute. It would be tantamount to suicide."

"Maybe that's how she confuses us, so that no one suspects her. Like a teacher, there must be a student. Maybe Snape instructed her to do this." Sirius said resolutely.

"I look like a fool? Trying to confuse others?" Esther showed a weird smile.

"Maybe you thought Mad-Eye was strong enough to protect you, so you took the risk." Sirius countered.

"I trust Esther!" Harry said suddenly, "she will never betray me."

When Esther heard Harry's words, she couldn't help but looked up at him.Esther felt a deep sense of guilt as his indifferent gaze met those passionate green eyes.She quickly lowered her head, for fear that those eyes would pierce her, and she couldn't help shaking out all the hidden secrets.

"I also don't think it's Esther." Moody looked very tired. "Maybe someone accidentally leaked it. Anyway, be more careful in the future."

With the care of the Weasley family, Esther returned to Godric's Hollow to give Moody a potion to recover from his injuries.Dumbledore simply asked about Harry and the Order of the Phoenix and left her alone.

After recovering for another two days, Moody was finally able to move.He asked Lupine and Tonks to take him back to his home, partly to find his spare wand, and partly because Fleur's family was coming to prepare for the wedding, and the Burrow couldn't accommodate any more people.

Tonks and Lupine hadn't left when Esther delivered the potion to Moody.Despite Lupine's best efforts to hide his emotions, Esther saw something was wrong with him right away.

"Remus, what's wrong?" Esther asked while putting away the empty medicine cup.

"What? Uh, nothing? Nothing," he said absentmindedly.

Tonks sealed the remaining potion in a bottle and placed it by Moody's bedside for his convenience.As a result, as soon as I put the bottle down, I turned around and knocked it off the table.Esther quickly stopped it in mid-air with a levitation spell.

"Oh, I'm so sorry." She smiled apologetically.Esther thought she was more radiant than ever.

"It's okay." Esther said generously.She put the vial back and looked at Tonks seriously.Tonks was a little embarrassed by her look, so he ran to the mirror and looked at it for a long time.

"Doesn't my hair color suit me today?" Tonks frowned, turning his purple grape-colored hair into ginger.

"No, I just feel that your skin seems to be firmer, and you seem to be in good spirits." Esther looked at Tonks in the mirror and said.

Tonks looked around in the mirror, "Is it that obvious?"

"Don't the girls have anything else to do when they're together?" Moody moaned on the bed.

Esther, Tonks, and Lupine left Moody's house together. Before parting, Tonks pulled Estelle aside and said, "Honey, is there any potion that enhances nutrition and tastes better?"

"I usually don't think much about taste," Esther made a grimace, "and all I keep are potions for healing and detoxification, and I haven't made nutritional medicine. Who are you going to use?"

"Myself," said Tonks, with a blissful face, "Lupine and I might be parents!"

Esther froze for a moment, and glanced at Lupin as if asking for confirmation. Lupine returned a smile, but Esther thought it was more like a wry smile.

"That's really congratulations. But are you sure you want to supplement nutrition with potions? I think it would be better to eat better?" Esther said doubtfully.

"I don't have a good appetite recently, and the reaction is a bit big." Tonks stuck out his tongue, "Anyway, I'm worried about affecting the little guy's development."

"I see," Esther nodded, "I will prepare some potion for you, but I still recommend you to eat more. The nutrition of the potion is not bad for maintaining body functions. If you want to make your baby stronger, food is better. "

Back in Godric's Hollow, Esther dug out all his books on potions and summed up the safest formula.He went to the medicine store in Diagon Alley as quickly as possible to get all the ingredients together, and then began to craft it carefully.

The dense smoke rose in the room, drilled out of her door, and spread throughout the house, carrying a faint fragrance unique to green grass.

"What are you doing? It smells nice." Grindelwald leaned against the half-open door and looked inside.

"You don't need it." Esther said without looking up.

"Placing it in the bedroom as an aromatherapy is also good." Grindelwald stared at the cauldron and picked the corner of his mouth.

Dumbledore patted Grindelwald to let him make way for himself, and took a close look at the cauldron, "Is it a birthday present for Harry?"

"No, it's Tonks's. I haven't decided what to give Harry's gift." Esther was a little worried.

"Yeah, 17 years old is an important birthday, and you are an adult." Dumbledore said with emotion, "Generally, parents will take their children to do something meaningful when they are adults. It's a pity that he can't see him." parents."

Esther was inspired, and a thought flashed through her mind, "Maybe I can help him with that wish. I have—"

"By the way, is Tonks sick?" Dumbledore suddenly changed the subject.

Esther looked up at Dumbledore strangely, glanced at Grindelwald with a sullen face from the corner of his eye, and suddenly realized that Dumbledore didn't want him to know about the Resurrection Stone.Esther shrugged helplessly, she was used to trusting Grindelwald, but Dumbledore obviously didn't think it was wise to do so.

"Tonks and Remus are entering the next phase of the family, you know, a new addition," Esther continued Dumbledore's words.

Dumbledore became excited, "It's really good news, it's a pity that I can't congratulate them in person. Gellert, I suddenly want to go for a drink, do you want to go together?"

Grindelwald's face softened a little, he glanced at Esther gloomily, and was pulled out of the room by Dumbledore.
