Harry Potter and the Attack of the Squibs - Chapter 713

What the three Harrys saw was the witch transformed into Nagini, the big snake next to Voldemort. Harry was injured by a sneak attack and even broke his wand.

All three of them knew these things clearly.

“Actually, later… I looked for something she wrote, and there were some secrets about Dumbledore in it.”

Ron was stunned for a moment: “Is there any?”

“Where did you find it?”

Hermione was silent for a moment: “Actually, I have been subscribing to the Daily Prophet. None of you read it. There is an article about Rita Skeeter on it. I knew you would be angry, so I didn’t say anything about it.”

Harry smiled bitterly: “Rita Skeeter slandered Dumbledore?”

Hermione nodded: “I pretended to be very angry…actually I was very angry at that time.”

“Sent a letter to argue with Rita Skeeter…”

Ron shook his head: “Wait, send a letter? Aren’t you afraid that the owl will attract Death Eaters?”

Hermione nodded: “Of course it is very dangerous to do so, but at that time we were at the Black house, which was protected by the Loyalty Curse, and no Death Eaters could find it.”

Harry nodded.

Hermione continued to explain: “Rita Skeeter actually knew more than what was written in the article. She did not tell it because she was afraid of attracting Voldemort’s attention.”

Harry and Ron looked at each other, both of them finding things interesting.

“what?”

Hermione hesitated: “Dumbledore once searched for ancient magical items, which were very powerful.”

Harry was a little confused, but Ron suddenly realized: “Do you think Voldemort would choose those things as Horcruxes?”

Hermione nodded: “And those things are powerful in themselves, but now…”

Harry nodded: “Then let’s go look for those things. Dumbledore must have left us some clues.”

Hermione and Ron looked at Harry helplessly.

“This is just a guess…”

Harry shook his head: “I believe Dumbledore.”

Hermione and Ron were relatively speechless.

…

“So Voldemort still has a lot of Horcruxes…”

Lu Ke and Johanna were sitting in the room at the top of the tower of Shafiq Castle, looking at a map.

“The little man in the bottle and the big snake Nagini will always be by his side, and the rune snake has been dealt with…”

“Slytherin’s locket has just been dealt with.”

Johanna smiled: “Harry and the others did a good job.”

Lu Ke nodded: “In addition, Dumbledore once mentioned a final Horcrux. He told me that this Horcrux can only be solved at the last moment, and all hope lies with Harry.”

“I hope Harry won’t be distracted by anything else.”

Johanna nodded: “Just don’t tell him where the other Horcruxes are.”

“Besides these, there are only three new Horcruxes left.”

Lu Ke fell into a long silence.

“What are you hesitating about?”

Lu Ke smiled bitterly.

Johanna looked at him and shook her head, sitting leisurely on the sofa aside.

This is a small and messy room, but Johanna knows how to make it comfortable. Lu Ke is sitting on a small chair, with the only table in the room in front of him.

Surrounding the ring-shaped wall is a circle of comfortable sofas. In front of the sofa are messy books and sundries piled up.

“Don’t want to provoke Gringotts?”

“Or do you think that raiding Malfoy Manor now will alert the enemy?”

Lu Ke smiled bitterly and nodded.

It’s both.

He did not dare to break the fragile peace between goblins and wizards that had been bought at great cost, nor did he dare to go straight to Malfoy Manor.

If Voldemort realizes that Lu Ke knows the location of the Horcrux, no matter how stupid he is, he will probably doubt the villain in the bottle.

So now things are at an impasse.

Although it was not intentional, Voldemort placed his Horcrux next to him, which really left Lu Ke helpless for a while.

“Have you ever thought about finding a reckless, weak wizard at this time and letting him accidentally break into Malfoy Manor?”

Lu Ke turned his face, and through the window, he could see far away outside the castle. It was a wilderness, with snow on the distant hills and a gloomy sky.

“There may be a glimmer of hope here…”

Johanna thought for a moment: “You mean, Voldemort can’t know that a certain Horcrux has been destroyed?”

Lu Ke nodded: “And his pursuit of hiding.”

“Maybe sometimes, he feels that the Horcrux that he can’t even find is the most safely hidden Horcrux.”

The two fell into silence together.

“Forget it, we have no time to waste, let’s take the risk and give it a try.”

Johanna glanced at Lu Ke a little surprised: “What are you going to do?”

Lu Ke smiled and put his hand on the map.

“There was a mouse that escaped for a long time, and I thought it was time to give him the ending he deserved.”

…

Peter Pettigrew was in his room in Malfoy Manor and looked outside.

It’s winter now, and the outside of the castle is a scene of decay.

The previous manor was not like this.

With the power of the curse, even in the cold winter, there will be a small pavilion with blooming flowers in the garden of Malfoy Manor. However, since the Death Eaters followed Voldemort to occupy this place, such a scene will never appear again. .

Peter Pettigrew thought this was fine.

As a mouse, he likes dilapidation and fears order, so this is just the place.

Peter Pettigrew had always felt uncomfortable in Snape’s house before, but Malfoy Manor was nice.

With this thought in mind, Peter Pettigrew turned around.

One of his arms is silver, which is some kind of metal made by Voldemort himself. This gives Peter Pettigrew a solid position among all Death Eaters, but sometimes, this so-called status does not bring anything at all.

For example, now, Peter Pettigrew has to find food by himself.

Since the battle at the Ministry of Magic, the Death Eaters have fallen into a long period of panic and madness.

Everyone believed that as long as Lu Ke was willing, he could appear next to any Death Eater at any time and take his life.

And when this happens, the invincible Voldemort can only remain invincible, but cannot stop Lu Ke.

Although panic and madness appear at the same time, the Death Eaters who can interact with Muggles and wizards outside are mad, while Peter Pettigrew only has panic.

Now he almost never leaves Malfoy Manor, he just stays in his room, and he doesn’t even chase Voldemort like other Death Eaters.
