〃This　is　different；　pretending　to　be　me　…〃
〃Well；　none　of　us　really　fancy　it；　Harry；〃　said　Fred　earnestly。　〃Imagine　if　something　went　wrong　and　we　were　stuck　as　specky；　scrawny　gits　forever。〃
Harry　did　not　smile。
〃You　can't　do　it　if　I　don't　cooperate；　you　need　me　to　give　you　some　hair。〃
〃Well；　that's　the　plan　scuppered；〃　said　George。　〃Obviously　there's　no　chance　at　all　of　us　getting　a　bit　of　your　hair　unless　you　cooperate。〃
〃Yeah；　thirteen　of　us　against　one　bloke　who's　not　allowed　to　use　magic；　we've　got　no　chance；〃　said　Fred。
〃Funny；〃　said　Harry；　〃really　amusing。〃
〃If　it　has　to　come　to　force；　then　it　will；〃　growled　Moody；　his　magical　eye　now　quivering　a　little　in　its　socket　as　he　glared　at　Harry。　〃Everyone　here's　overage；　Potter；　and　they're　all　prepared　to　take　the　risk。〃
Mundungus　shrugged　and　grimaced；　the　magical　eye　swerved　sideways　to　glance　at　him　out　of　the　side　of　Moody's　head。
〃Let's　have　no　more　arguments。　Time's　wearing　on。　I　want　a　few　of　your　hairs；　boy；　now。〃
〃But　this　is　mad；　there's　no　need　…〃
〃No　need！〃　snarled　Moody。　〃With　You…Know…Who　out　there　and　half　the　Ministry　on　his　side？　Potter；　if　we're　lucky　he'll　have　swallowed　the　fake　bait　and　he'll
be　planning　to　ambush　you　on　the　thirtieth；　but　he'd　be　mad　not　to　have　a　Death　Eater　or　two　keeping　an　eye　out；　it's　what　I'd　do。　They　might　not　be　able　to　get　at　you　or　this　house　while　your　mother's　charm　holds；　but　it's　about　to　break　and　they　know　the　rough　position　of　the　place。　Our　only　chance　is　to　use　decoys。　Even　You…Know…Who　can't　split　himself　into　seven。〃
Harry　caught　Hermione's　eye　and　looked　away　at　once。
〃So；　Potter　…　some　of　your　hair；　if　you　please。〃
Harry　glanced　at　Ron；　who　grimaced　at　him　in　a　just…do…it　sort　of　way。
〃Now！〃　barked　Moody。
With　all　of　their　eyes　upon　him；　Harry　reached　up　to　the　top　of　his　head；　grabbed　a　hank　of　hair；　and　pulled。
〃Good；〃　said　Moody；　limping　forward　as　he　pulled　the　stopper　out　of　the　flask　of　potion。　〃Straight　in　here；　if　you　please。〃
Harry　dropped　the　hair　into　the　mudlike　liquid。　The　moment　it　made　contact　with　its　surface；　the　potion　began　to　froth　and　smoke；　then；　all　at　once；　it　turned　a　clear；　bright　gold。
〃Ooh；　you　look　much　tastier　than　Crabbe　and　Goyle；　Harry；〃　said　Hermione；　before　catching　sight　of　Ron's　raised　eyebrows；　blushing　slightly；　and　saying；　〃Oh；　you　know　what　I　mean　…　Goyle's　potion　tasted　like　bogies。〃
〃Right　then；　fake　Potters　line　up　over　here；　please；〃　said　Moody。
Ron；　Hermione；　Fred；　George；　and　Fleur　lined　up　in　front　of　Aunt　Petunia's　gleaming　sink。
〃We're　one　short；〃　said　Lupin。
〃Here；〃　said　Hagrid　gruffly；　and　he　lifted　Mundungus　by　the　scruff　of　the　neck　and　dropped　him　down　beside　Fleur；　who　wrinkled　her　nose　pointedly　and　moved　along　to　stand　between　Fred　and　George　instead。
〃I'm　a　soldier；　I'd　sooner　be　a　protector；〃　said　Mundungus。
〃Shut　it；〃　growled　Moody。　〃As　I've　already　told　you；　you　spineless　worm；　any　Death　Eaters　we　run　into　will　be　aiming　to　capture　Potter；　not　kill　him。　Dumbledore　always　said　You…Know…Who　would　want　to　finish　Potter　in　person。　It'll　be　the　protectors　who　have　got　the　most　to　worry　about；　the　Death　Eaters'll　want　to　kill　them。〃
Mundungus　did　not　look　particularly　reassured；　but　Moody　was　already　pulling　half　a　dozen　eggcup…sized　glasses　from　inside　his　cloak；　which　he　handed　out；　before　pouring　a　little　Polyjuice　Potion　into　each　one。
〃Altogether；　then　a133　〃
Ron；　Hermione；　Fred；　George；　Fleur；　and　Mundungus　drank。　All　of　them　gasped　and　grimaced　as　the　potion　hit　their　throats；　At　once；　their　features　began　to　bubble　and　distort　like　hot　wax。　Hermione　and　Mundungus　were　shooting　upward；　Ron；　Fred；　and　George　were　shrinking；　their　hair　was　darkening；　Hermione's　and　Fleur's　appearing　to　shoot　backward　into　their　skulls。
Moody；　quite　unconcerned；　was　now　loosening　the　ties　of　the　large　sacks　he　had　brought　with　him。　When　he　straightened　up　again；　there　were　six　Harry　Potters　gasping　and　panting　in　front　of　him。
Fred　and　George　turned　to　each　other　and　said　together；　〃Wow　…　we're　identical！〃
〃I　dunno；　though；　I　think　I'm　still　better…looking；〃　said　Fred；　examining　his　reflection　in　the　kettle。
〃Bah；〃　said　Fleur；　checking　herself　in　the　microwave　door；　〃Bill；　don't　look　at　me　…　I'm　'ideous。〃
〃Those　whose　clothes　are　a　bit　roomy；　I've　got　smaller　here；〃　said　Moody；　indicating　the　first　sack；　〃and　vice　versa。　Don't　forget　the　glasses；　there's　six　pairs　in　the　side　pocket。　And　when　you're　dressed；　there's　luggage　in　the　other　sack。〃
The　real　Harry　thought　that　this　might　just　be　the　most　bizarre　thing　he　had　ever　seen；　and　he　had　seen　some　extremely　odd　things。　He　watched　as　his　six　doppelgangers　rummaged　in　the　sacks；　pulling　out　sets　of　clothes；　putting　on　glasses；　stuffing　their　own　things　away。　He　felt　like　asking　them　to　show　a　little　more　respect　for　privacy　as　they　all　began　stripping　off　with　impunity；　clearly　more　at　ease　with　displaying　his　body　than　they　would　have　been　with　their　own。
〃I　knew　Ginny　was　lying　about　that　tattoo；〃　said　Ron；　looking　down　at　his　bare　chest。
〃Harry；　your　eyesight　really　is　awful；〃　said　Hermione；　as　she　put　on　glasses。
Once　dressed；　the　fake　Harrys　took　rucksacks　and　owl　cages；　each　containing　a　stuffed　snowy　owl；　from　the　second　sack。
〃Good；〃　said　Moody；　as　at　last　seven　dressed；　bespectacled；　and　luggage…laden　Harrys　faced　him。　〃The　pairs　will　be　as　follows：　Mundungus　will　be　traveling　with　me；　by　broom　…〃
〃Why'm　I　with　you？〃　grunted　the　Harry　nearest　the　back　door。
〃Because　you're　the　one　that　needs　watching；〃　growled　Moody；　and　sure　enough；　his　magical　eye　did　not　waver　from　Mundungus　as　he　continued；　〃Arthur　and　Fred　…〃
〃I'm　George；〃　said　the　twin　at　whom　Moody　was　pointing。　〃Can't　you　even　tell　us　apart　when　we're　Harry？〃
〃Sorry；　George　…〃
〃I'm　only　yanking　your　wand；　I'm　Fred　really　…〃
〃Enough　messing　around！〃　snarled　Moody。　〃The　other　one　…　George　or　Fred　or　whoever　you　are　…　you're　with　Remus。　Miss　Delacour　…〃
〃I'm　taking　Fleur　on　a　thestral；〃　said　Bill。　〃She's　not　that　fond　of　brooms。〃
Fleur　walked　over　to　stand　beside　him；　giving　him　a　soppy；　slavish　look　that　Harry　hoped　with　all　his　heart　would　never　appear　on　his　face　again。
〃Miss　Granger　with　Kingsley；　again　by　thestral　…〃
Hermione　looked　reassured　as　she　answered　Kingsley's　smile；　Harry　knew　that　Hermione　too　lacked　confidence　on　a　broomstick。
〃Which　leaves　you　and　me；　Ron！〃　said　Tonks　brightly；　knocking　over　a　mug　tree　as　she　waved　at　him。
Ron　did　not　look　quite　as　pleased　as　Hermione。
〃An'　you're　with　me；　Harry。　That　all　righ'？〃　said　Hagrid；　looking　a　little　anxious。　〃We'll　be　on　the　bike；　brooms　an'　thestrals　can't　take　me　weight；　see。　Not　a　lot　o'　room　on　the　seat　with　me　on　it；　though；　so　you'll　be　in　the　sidecar。〃
〃That's　great；〃　said　Harry；　not　altogether　truthfully。
〃We　think　the　Death　Eaters　will　expect　you　to　be　on　a　broom；〃　said　Moody；　who　seemed　to　guess　how　Harry　was　feeling。　〃Snape's　had　plenty　of　time　to　tell　them　everything　about　you　he's　never　mentioned　before；　so　if　we　do　run　into　any　Death　Eaters；　we're　betting　they'll　choose　one　of　the　Potters　who　looks　at　home　on　a　broomstick。　All　right　then；〃　he　went　on；　tying　up　the　sack　with　the　fake　Potters'　clothes　in　it　and　leading
the　way　back　to　the　door；　〃I　make　it　three　minutes　until　we're　supposed　to　leave。　No　point　locking　the　back　door；　it　won't　keep　the　Death　Eaters　out　when　they　come　looking。　Come　on　a133〃
Harry　hurried　to　gather　his　rucksack；　Firebolt；　and　Hedwig's　cage　and　followed　the　group　to　the　dark　back　garden。
On　every　side　broomsticks　were　leaping　into　hands；　Hermione　had　already　been　helped　up　onto　a　great　black　thestral　by　Kingsley；　Fleur　onto　the　other　by　Bill。　Hagrid　was　standing　ready　beside　the　motorbike；　goggles　on。
〃Is　this　it？　Is　this　Sirius's　bike？〃
〃The　very　same；〃　said　Hagrid；　beaming　down　at　Harry。　〃An'　the　last　time　yeh　was　on　it；　Harry；　I　could　fit　yeh　in　one　hand！〃
Harry　could　not　help　but　feel　a　little　humiliated　as　he　got　into　the　sidecar。　It　placed　him　several　feet　below　everybody　else：　Ron　smirked　at　the　sight　of　him　sitting　there　like　a　child　in　a　bumper　car。　Harry　stuffed　his　rucksack　and　broomstick　down　by　his　feet　and　rammed　Hedwig's　cage　between　his　knees。　He　was　extremely　uncomfortable。
〃Arthur's　done　a　bit　o'　tinkerin'；〃　said　Hagrid；　quite　oblivious　to　Harry's　discomfort。　He　settled　himself　astride　the　motorcycle；　which　creaked　slightly　and　sank　inches　into　the　ground。　〃It's　got　a　few　tricks　up　its　sleeves　now。　Tha'　one　was　my　idea。〃　He　pointed　a　thick　finger　at　a　purple　button　near　the　speedometer。
〃Please　be　careful；　Hagrid。〃　said　Mr。　Weasley；　who　was　standing　beside　them；　holding　his　broomstick。　〃I'm　still　not　sure　that　was　advisable　and　it's　certainly　only　to　be　used　in　emergencies。〃
〃All　right；　then。〃　said　Moody。　〃Everyone　ready；　please。　I　want　us　all　to　leave　at　exactly　the　same　time　or　the　whole　point　of　the　diversion's　lost。〃
Everybody　motioned　their　heads。
〃Hold　tight　now；　Ron；〃　said　Tonks；　and　Harry　saw　Ron　throw　a　forcing；　guilty　look　at　Lupin　before　placing　his　hands　on　each　side　of　her　waist。　Hagrid　kicked　the　motorbike　into　life：　It　roared　like　a　dragon；　and　the　sidecar　began　to　vibrate。
〃Good　luck；　everyone；〃　shouted　Moody。　〃See　you　all　in　about　an　hour　at　the　Burrow。　On　the　count　of　three。　One　a133　two　。。　THREE。〃
There　was　a　great　roar　from　the　motorbike；　and　Harry　felt　the　sidecar　give　a　nasty　lurch。　He　was　rising　through　the　air　fast；　his　eyes　watering　slightly；　hair　whipped　back　off　his　face。　Around　him　brooms　were　soaring　upward　too；　the　long　black　tail　of　a　thestral　flicked　past。　His　legs；　jammed　into　the　sidecar　by　Hedwig's　cage　and　his　rucksack；　were　already　sore　and　starting　to　go　numb。　So　great　was　his　discomfort　that　he　almost　forgot　to　take　a　last　glimpse　of　number　four　Privet　Drive。　By　the　time　he　looked　over　the　edge　of　the　sidecar　he　could　no　longer　tell　which　one　it　was。
And　then；　out　of　nowhere；　out　of　nothing；　they　were　surrounded。　At　least　thirty　hooded　figures；　suspended　in　midair；　formed　a　vast　circle　in　the　middle　of　which　the　Order　members　had　risen；　oblivious　…
Screams；　a　blaze　of　green　light　on　every　side：　Hagrid　gave　a　yell　and　the　motorbike　rolled　over。　Harry　lost　any　sense　of　where　they　were。　Streetlights　above　him；　yells　around　him；　he　was　clinging　to　t
