Mounted aboard his Firebolt, Harry and Hedwig are summoned by a Ministry cruiser, enchanted with an Anti-Disapparition Jinx, as well as the Ministry cruiser Nurmengard. Sensing the problem, Harry awakes from his hibernation trance.
Harry. [to Hedwig] All right, Hedwig. I'm awake. [notices the Ministry cruiser] Let's get out of here, Hedwig.
Bole's Voice. [over transmitter] Unidentified broom. This is the Ministry cruiser Nurmengard. Transmit your identification codes and state your business.
Harry. [aside] So much for hoping we wouldn't be noticed.
Harry turns and notices a nearby broom, evidently pulled out of Apparition with him, struggling to determine whether or not it is a Council broom.
Hedwig. Find me the nearest edge of that Anti-Disapparition Jinx's purview.
Bole's Voice. [over transmitter] Unidentified broom. I repeat, transmit your identification code or prepare to be detained.
Harry. I should have brought one of Ron's false ID codes with me. [to Hedwig] Hedwig? Where's that edge estimate?
Hedwig. [beeps]
Hedwig displays her calculations over the computer.
Harry. That far, eh? Well, nothing to do but go for it. Hang on.
Bole's Voice. [over transmitter] Unidentified broom . . .
Harry moves the Firebolt to full power.
Hedwig. [whistles]
Harry. No, I want the Shield Charms down. We need the extra speed.
As Nurmengard advances on the nearby broom, Harry glances at the computer, noticing he is still within range of the Summoning Charm.
Hedwig. I need a fast reprogramming on one of the proton torpedoes. I want to drop it at zero delta-v, then have it turn around and head straight aft. No sensors or homing codes, either. I want it to go out cold. Can you do that?
Hedwig. Affirmative.
Harry. Good. As soon as it's ready, give me a warning and then let it go.
Hedwig. [beeps]
Harry fires the proton torpedo. Though he has gone cold, Harry, through the use of the Magic, is able to guide toward the nearby broom and detonate it. Through the chaos, Harry is able to navigate further from the Summoning Charm, almost out of range.
[beeps]
Harry glances up and notices Nurmengard turning fully on Harry, using its Anti-Disapparition Jinx on the Firebolt.
Harry. I see it, Hedwig. [aside] Typical Ministry tactic. [to Hedwig] Hang on, Hedwig.
Harry navigates the Firebolt abruptly to the right, away from Nurmengard.
Hedwig. [screeches]
Harry. Quiet, Hedwig. I know what I'm doing.
As Harry moves away from the Ministry cruiser, Nurmengard begins firing on the Firebolt.
Shield Charms up, Hedwig. Give me a balance between shield power and speed.
Hedwig. [beeps]
Shield Charms surround the Firebolt, causing the broom to slow. Regardless, Harry's maneuver has paid off, for the Ministry cruisers have been taken off guard and are only now trying to correct their mistake, giving Harry time to move away from the range of the Anti-Disapparition Jinx.
Harry. Stand by for lightspeed. Don't worry about direction. We can do a short hop and set things up more carefully once we're clear.
Hedwig. [beeps]
Harry's Firebolt is caught in Nurmengard's Summoning Charm, pulling them toward the Ministry party.
[shrills]
Harry shuts down the Shield Charms and tries to fight off the Summoning Charm, to no avail.
Bole's Voice. [over transmitter] Unidentified broom. You have no chance of escape. Further efforts will merely damage your vehicle. You are ordered to power down and prepare to dock.
Harry. [sighs] Hedwig. We're going to try something tricky. On my signal, I want you to reverse-trigger the acceleration compensator, full power, and bypass the cutoffs if you have to. Hedwig . . . now.
Harry simultaneously lurches forward while firing a couple proton torpedoes. Taken aback, Bole inadvertently latches onto the proton torpedo, allowing Harry time to move out of range of the Summoning Charm.
We're free. Get ready for lightspeed.
Hedwig. [whistles]
Nurmengard turns all of its laser cannons on Harry's Firebolt. With the Magic as his ally, Harry lurches forward immediately, managing to just barely avoid the laser strike . . . and finally away from the purview of the Anti-Disapparition Jinx.
Harry. Go.
Exit the Firebolt, into lightspeed.
