Meticulous Pre-Battle Preparations, Sister-in-Law Captured

"Alright, forget this little incident," Aaron said lightly. "In short, Harry Potter must experience death once.

"And at that time, I'll also face the strongest blow from the Dark forces. He may send hundreds, even thousands, of Dark Wizards after me."

"Is it really that serious?" Professor McGonagall asked worriedly.

"Once Harry Potter is dead, Voldemort will have eliminated the person who poses the greatest threat to him.

"His next step will be immortality, and I am the pass that will let him advance further down that path. The temptation I represent to him surpasses all of you put together.

"Perhaps if you captured me and offered me to him then, he would forgive every past offense."

"That joke isn't funny," Moody said.

"That's why I signed contracts with every one of you," Aaron said seriously. "Especially those with the White God Mark on their arms. When I face enemies like a tidal wave, I'll summon those people over to relieve the pressure. Let me be clear: be prepared to die."

"We've been prepared for a long time," Frank said, feigning ease. "If not for you, Alice and I would still be muddleheaded in St Mungo's Hospital!

"We're Aurors. We'd rather die in battle than end up like that. It was too humiliating."

"That's what I think too." Alice nodded.

"I have no problem with it either." Moody smiled indifferently. "You saved this life of mine. Every extra year I've lived was stolen from Death himself.

"If I die this time, I'll consider it repayment. If I survive by some miracle, then I'll have made a killing."

"I'm unwilling," Abufus said bluntly. "But since I signed the contract, I probably won't be able to refuse when the time comes."

"Um... I can do it too." Sirius Black raised his hand.
