Harry Potter and the Attack of the Squibs - Chapter 712
c53 Relics
Harry breathed a sigh of relief: “Finally…”
He couldn’t help but laugh.
Hermione and Ron both laughed too.
But everyone else was still a little confused as to what was going on.
“what are you guys saying?”
Harry put down the sword: “This is…”
“The mission Lu Ke gave us, although we don’t know exactly why.”
Malfoy and Ginny both glanced.
Although Harry made a quick turn, both Ginny and Malfoy noticed something strange in his tone.
But Neville didn’t notice anything: “Is Lu Ke okay?”
Harry couldn’t help but shake his head, his tone was very complicated: “Lu Ke… is actually not very good. He has too many things to do now, and we can’t help much even if we try our best.”
Neville nodded: “But if we all work together, everything will be fine.”
Harry nodded and put down his sword.
“but……”
Hermione reached out and grabbed his arm: “We’ll find it.”
Harry nodded and reached out to put away the locket that had been split into two halves.
Ginny glanced at Harry: “So you’re just here for the sword?”
Ron nodded: “Now that we have the long sword, we must leave quickly.”
Ginny looked at Ron and shook her head: “You just skipped school from the beginning, and then rushed in, took the things and left when you thought we were using them again?”
Ron smiled helplessly: “We would rather stay at Hogwarts.”
“This is the best place.”
Ginny sneered: “Have you never thought about why we are hiding here?”
Ron nodded: “But you have a good life here, don’t you?”
Ginny was speechless for a moment.
Ron shook his head: “After Voldemort is finished, we will come back to class honestly.”
“Lu Ke said we’d better not miss exams this school year.”
Ginny couldn’t help but laugh: “You just do what he says?”
Ron lowered his body and pretended to whisper: “Do you think Lu Ke would tell his mother the same thing?”
Ginny laughed.
Harry couldn’t help but laugh too.
He shook his head: “Sorry, we have to leave quickly.”
“Come on Neville!”
“Ginny!”
“Luna, and…”
“Malfoy.”
Harry stood up, followed by Hermione.
She glanced at Malfoy and said, “Thanks, Draco.”
Then Ron smiled and left behind the two of them.
Ginny shook her head and gave Malfoy a sympathetic look.
“Then what?”
Malfoy shook his head carelessly, silent.
…
Back in Hogsmeade, the three of them stood in the Shrieking Shack, looking at the snow-covered village.
There were Death Eaters patrolling back and forth, and there was no one else on the street except them.
“So…” Ron sat down against the wall, “Where are we going now?”
Harry shook his head blankly: “I don’t know.”
Ron sighed: “If we didn’t come out like this, I would definitely lie there and never come out again…”
“Hogwarts is such a wonderful place.”
Hermione shook her head: “Everyone knows this…”
“Let’s get out of here first.”
Then she reached out and pulled Ron up.
The three of them walked out of the Shrieking Shack together, then walked around the mountains outside and left Hogsmeade.
“Let’s go to the nearest Muggle town. It should be safe to hide there.”
After saying that, Hermione took the two of them and disapparated.
They fell into the snow on the edge of the small town, bypassed the fence of the train station, crossed the railroad, and then walked into the city.
They stayed in the only small hotel in the city, and then the three of them sat in the room together and began to clean up the clues in their hands from scratch.
“I guess we don’t really know anything…”
Harry sat at the side of the room and shook his head.
Ron took out the Deluminator and sighed: “Dumbledore’s relics must be useful, but I don’t know why he gave me this.”
Hermione raised the fairy tale book in her hand: “I almost read this book three times, but there are really only fairy tales in it.”
Harry took out the Golden Snitch: “There’s something hidden in here, but I can’t open it now.”
The three of them were silent together.
“Since Dumbledore gave us the sword, he must have hoped that we would destroy all the Horcruxes.”
Hermione put down the collection of stories and began to reason.
“Then these things should contain clues to where the Horcrux is.”
“The only question is, why didn’t he just tell us where the Horcruxes are?”
“Dumbledore directly told Harry where the last locket was.”
Harry nodded casually: “Maybe…”
“Dumbledore doesn’t even know where the other Horcruxes are?”
Hermione and Ron glanced at Harry together.
“This seems to be the only reasonable explanation…”
Ron sighed: “There must be clues in that book. There is something important hidden in the Golden Snitch, but what can this Deluminator do?”
Harry shook his head.
Hermione reluctantly picked up the storybook again: “Then I’ll probably have to read this book again…”
Harry was silent for a moment.
“Why?”
He began to feel a little dissatisfied with everything Dumbledore had arranged.
And Lu Ke.
Why did everyone act like they would do their own thing and just let Harry follow the rules.
It was clear that Voldemort and Death Eaters were causing havoc and harming innocent people everywhere, and they could obviously work harder to make this end as soon as possible, so why were they unwilling to let Harry help.
Of course Harry knew that his abilities might not be enough, but what he could do was definitely better than what he could do now.
“Dumbledore said…what would Voldemort usually choose to make his Horcruxes?”
Harry lowered his head and thought for a moment: “Voldemort once preferred precious magical items that represented ancient bloodlines. Among the once-destroyed Horcruxes were Hufflepuff’s golden cup and Ravenclaw’s diadem. This locket belongs to Slytherin.”
“But now Voldemort… has completely changed, and Dumbledore doesn’t know what he will choose as his Horcrux…”
Hermione sighed: “If Voldemort doesn’t change…”
Harry and Ron were both stunned for a moment: “What?”
Hermione shook her head: “We have been to Godric’s Hollow, where Dumbledore once lived. Harry was injured, wasn’t he?”
Harry and Ron were present at the time, and of course they knew, but they just didn’t understand what Hermione wanted to say.
“We wanted to see if the famous author of the history of magic knew something,” Hermione hesitated. “She was already dead at that time…”
