Harry Potter and the Attack of the Squibs - Chapter 725
c66 Accident
Voldemort finally had to admit with some hesitation that this was probably just an accident.
Suddenly, another question came to mind: Why is this happening?
He tried his best and tried his best to protect his remaining Horcrux. If an accident could destroy one Horcrux, were the other Horcruxes still safe?
Voldemort was miserable, and for the first time he began to resent his unfair fate.
…
“Mucked through?”
Lu Ke glanced at Johanna with a worried look.
Johanna smiled and nodded.
Lu Ke let out a long breath.
“fortunately……”
He held the sword with both hands and lowered his head, looking at the ground and lost in memories.
Everything started from an accident.
Lu Ke deliberately lost to Voldemort to make the Death Eaters lose their vigilance, so they attacked everywhere without restraint.
But Lu Ke would never have imagined that he could form an alliance with the goblins and determine the location of Gryffindor’s sword.
He never thought about actually putting Harry into such a desperate situation.
But I didn’t expect that the final result of this accident would be good.
Since the Death Eaters could find the three Harrys, they would not be able to escape the fate of being caught no matter where they fled.
Because Harry has a special meaning to Voldemort, he will naturally be imprisoned in Malfoy Manor.
But everything after that was a complete surprise.
Lu Ke did not expect that Voldemort not only did not torture Harry, but also used him as bait to provoke Lu Ke.
He even didn’t expect that Voldemort had been cautious enough to set a spell against house elves in the dungeon of Malfoy Manor.
In fact, when Dobby, Harry and others deviated from their original goal and landed on the beach, things were completely beyond Lu Ke’s control.
He had almost begun to worry about whether something would happen to Harry and the three of them.
Fortunately, everything is back on track: in fact, Lu Ke asked Dobby to take Harry and the three of them to Grimmauld Place from the beginning.
Of course, Lu Ke had no idea at that time that the Death Eaters had laid a heavy siege on Grimmauld Place.
Lu Ke arrived as planned as soon as possible, but was still a step late. Fortunately, the cost of this step was not irreversible.
What surprised Lu Ke even more was that Peter Pettigrew was right in front of him.
Of course Lu Ke knew that Peter Pettigrew’s silver hand was one of the Horcruxes.
When he heard the news, Lu Ke couldn’t help but marvel at Voldemort’s method of hiding things. He couldn’t imagine how long it would take to find the location of the Horcrux by himself.
And as long as they don’t know that the Silver Hand is a Horcrux, even if Peter Pettigrew dies, the Horcrux will not be destroyed: Who among the enemies of the Death Eaters would not let go of a corpse, even if they know that the Silver Hand is It is a dangerous black magic item. Who would seriously think of ways to destroy it?
Only if Lu Ke knew it was a Horcrux could he find the right way to cut it off in two pieces.
And Lu Ke didn’t worry at all that everything he did would arouse Voldemort’s suspicion.
Because the moment he swung his sword, Lu Ke gave his expression to Johanna Ogulius.
Everything is under control.
Lu Ke sighed longly: “In fact, it is still possible to arouse Voldemort’s suspicion, but I have to bet… I will never have such an opportunity again…”
Johanna nodded beside him: “Don’t worry, it seems now that the villain in the bottle would betray him is too unimaginable. Voldemort may not be able to find out in the end.”
Lu Ke smiled bitterly: “We still have two Horcruxes to solve. It’s so difficult at once. I hope Voldemort really won’t doubt it…”
He placed the sword on the table, then turned and glanced out the window.
“Is Sirius almost here?”
Johanna shook her head: “The Death Eaters have not dispersed yet, they cannot risk leaving.”
Lu Ke was silent for a moment: “Then just wait patiently…”
He suddenly turned around and glanced at Johanna: “With the sword in my hand, how likely are the three Harrys to escape?”
Johanna couldn’t help but laugh: “What do you think?”
Lu Ke was speechless.
…
Black Mansion.
The three of Harry sat together, Sirius Black and Kreacher beside them, Sirius taking care of the three of them, and Kreacher taking care of Dobby.
As for poor Ollivander, he was lying on the sofa and fell asleep. I don’t know if it was a blessing in disguise. He was not injured at all in the previous chaos. Now he is just mentally weak.
“So you were caught…”
Sirius Black put his hands on his waist in pain, which had been hit by a curse before, but he was lucky. At that time, the Death Eaters were targeting Harry and the three of them. As soon as Sirius Black fell, there was no more magic. The curse hit.
“The goblin from Gringotts…I already knew he wasn’t a good person.”
Hermione shook her head: “Goblins have never been friends of wizards, and the existence of Gringotts is entirely because of the goblin rebellion. In the end, both sides lost…”
Ron smiled helplessly: “That’s right, that’s all, I don’t want to go to class now…”
Hermione stopped helplessly: “Now that Gryffindor’s sword is with Lu Ke, will he be in danger?”
Harry nodded: “I’m afraid so.”
The three fell into silence again.
They saw with their own eyes how Lu Ke was hit by the giant snake and spurted out blood in the Black Mansion.
Although Lu Ke finally escaped, his injuries were serious and everyone could see that.
“The Floo network is down. There’s no way to apparate here, and there’s no way to use a portkey. We’re trapped here.”
Sirius Black sighed: “But don’t worry about Lu Ke, he won’t die, he may be alive and kicking now.”
The three Harrys nodded nonchalantly.
Then Ron suddenly said: “You said…”
Harry shook his head: “No way.”
They were silent again.
Sirius Black glanced at the two of them: “Dumbledore’s secret mission?”
Harry nodded hesitantly: “Sorry Sirius…”
Sirius Black shook his head: “It doesn’t matter. Since he doesn’t let you tell others, it must be right…”
Harry shook his head and made up his mind: “Forget it, I believe you…”
Then Sirius Black quickly reached out to stop Harry. He motioned to Ollivander on the sofa on one side, then shook his head and waved his wand.
This is a special spell that prevents the conversation between four people from being heard by others.
“What the hell is that silver hand?”
Harry paused, needing to collect his words.
“Horcruxes, the key to keeping Voldemort alive.”
Sirius Black had a very complicated expression on his face.
Surprise mixed with reason, happiness mixed with anger, relief mixed with unwillingness.
“Finally… there is hope…”
