Harry shouted, and Runcorn's powerful voice echoed in the main hall. The wizards who had blocked the fireplace were stunned.

"follow me."

He whispered to the frightened Muggle-born wizards, who rushed forward led by Ron and Hermione.

"What's the matter, Albert?"

asked the bald wizard who had followed Harry out of the fireplace earlier, looking nervous.

"These people need to leave before you seal the exit."

Harry tried his best to speak in a dignified tone.

The wizards looked at each other.

"We are ordered to seal all exits and not allow anyone..."

"Are you disobeying me?"

Harry said angrily: "Do you want me to look into your family tree, like Dirk Creswell did?"

"sorry!"

The bald wizard was startled and backed away: "I didn't mean anything else, Albert, I just thought... I thought they were being interrogated..."

"Their bloodline is pure,"

Harry said, his deep voice echoing in the hall, very intimidating: "I dare say I am more pure than many of you, let's go."

He shouted to the Muggle-born wizards, who hurried into the fireplace and disappeared one by one.

The wizards from the Ministry of Magic stayed behind hesitantly, some looking confused, some frightened and dissatisfied.

Sudden--

"Mary!"

Mrs. Cattermole turned around. The real Reggie Cattermole, who was no longer vomiting, had just run out of an elevator.

"Re-Reggie?"

She looked at her husband and then at Ron, who cursed loudly.

The bald wizard opened his mouth wide and his head turned ridiculously between the two Reggie Cattermoles.

"Hey - what's going on!"

"Seal the exit! Seal it!"

Yaxley rushed out of another elevator and ran towards the crowd by the fireplace.

By this time, all the Muggle-born wizards except Mrs. Cattermole had disappeared from the fireplace.

As soon as the bald wizard raised his wand, Harry raised his huge fist and punched him away.

"He's helping Muggle-borns escape, Yaxley!"

The bald wizard's companions were in an uproar, and Ron took advantage of the chaos to grab Mrs. Cattermole, pull her into the still open fireplace and disappear.

Yaxley looked at Harry in confusion, then at the beaten wizard. Here was the real Reggie Cattermole shouting: "My wife! Who is that person with my wife? What happened?"

What's up?"

Harry saw Yaxley turn his head, a look of realization appearing on his dull face.

"Let's go!"

Harry shouted to Hermione, grabbed her hand, and they jumped into the fireplace together, Yaxley's spell flying over Harry's head.

They spin for a few seconds and spray out of the toilet bowl.

"Reggie, I don't understand-"

"Let go, I'm not your husband, you must go home!"

There was a rumble in the cubicle behind him, and Harry turned around, just as Yaxley jumped out.

"let's go!"

Harry shouted, grabbing Hermione's hand and Ron's arm and spinning them around quickly.

Harry suspected that he was suffocating. He couldn't breathe and couldn't see. The only real things in the world were Ron's arms and Hermione's fingers, but his fingers were slowly slipping...

Then he saw the door of No. 12 Grimmauld Place and the snake-shaped door knocker, but before he could take a breath, he heard a scream, a flash of purple light, and Hermione's hands suddenly became like pliers.
