Harry Potter and the Attack of the Squibs - Chapter 726

c67 death of rats

“So Peter Pettigrew Silverhand… is actually a Horcrux?”

Sirius Black looked incredulous.

The three Harrys had very ugly expressions, because they knew very well that if Voldemort could hide the Horcrux so secretly, it would be almost impossible for them to have any hope.

“As expected of…a mysterious man.”

Sirius Black bowed his head.

Everyone knows this. If Lu Ke had not accidentally cut off the Silver Hand, then even if Voldemort fell, Peter Pettigrew was imprisoned in Azkaban, and the Silver Hand was confiscated by the Ministry of Magic, the Horcruxes would not have been destroyed. : The Ministry of Magic would never have imagined that a dark magic item would require the sword of Gryffindor to be completely destroyed. They would just throw the Silver Hand into the warehouse of the Department of Mysteries and seal it away.

“Then do you know where the other Horcruxes are?”

Sirius Black looked at the three Harrys expectantly.

But as soon as he saw the expressions of the three Harrys, he instantly understood the answer.

“Does Lu Ke know?”

Harry and the three of them were confused.

“have no idea……”

Hermione shook her head: “Is there really such a coincidence in the world?”

Harry and Ron were both stunned: “But if he knew…”

Sirius Black smiled bitterly and shook his head: “I am willing to kneel down and beg him to know…”

“But that’s impossible.”

“Think about it, Voldemort hid his Horcruxes like this, who would have known?”

Hermione nodded hesitantly: “But are there really such coincidences in the world?”

Sirius Black shook his head: “Peter is a Death Eater. Of course he will make trouble for us. As for Lu Ke bumping into him, doesn’t Lu Ke always rush to the front?”

“The only coincidence is probably that Gryffindor’s sword happened to be in Lu Ke’s hands. The problem is that this chase was originally because the Death Eaters were tracking Gryffindor’s sword. This is normal and not a coincidence. ”

Harry and the three fell into silence.

They seemed convinced.

…

At the same time, Voldemort was comforting himself with the same logic.

This is not an accident. As long as Lu Ke is still alive, he may threaten Voldemort.

Such a conclusion was not much comfort at all. Voldemort was furious, but had nowhere to vent.

In the end, he could only look at the little man in the bottle helplessly: “Am I not hiding enough?”

The man in the bottle shook his head: “This is the best concealment.”

Voldemort smiled bitterly: “Then this is an accident?”

The man in the bottle nodded.

Voldemort’s anger turned into resentment, and eventually even into sadness.

This was Voldemort’s unprecedented weakness, but he never changed.

Almost instantly, the rage returned.

Voldemort strode out of the room.

He returned to the hall, just as the other Death Eaters had returned.

Even Snape, who was connected to the message, came from Hogwarts.

Voldemort nodded casually, sat down in his seat, and glanced at Peter Pettigrew who was collapsed on the ground.

He was at the other end of the long table, crying bitterly, with a look of horror on his face when he saw Voldemort appear.

Voldemort laughed.

In fact, he was the only one among the Death Eaters who knew about the existence of Horcruxes, and Peter Pettigrew should not have been so afraid.

It’s a pity that Peter Pettigrew is a smart man. His silver hand was made by Voldemort casually waving his wand, and after being cut off by Gryffindor’s sword, there was such a black mist rushing out. Even if he didn’t know it was a Horcrux, the little Peter Dwarf also guessed that it must be something specially arranged by Voldemort.

And Voldemort will definitely take revenge no matter what he loses.

If you can’t find the right person, just find someone around you.

Simply put, this time it’s Peter Pettigrew.

Voldemort looked at Peter Pettigrew and suddenly smiled: “Peter…”

Peter Pettigrew tremblingly stretched out his remaining hand towards Voldemort: “Master…”

Voldemort showed no mercy.

“Avada Kadawa.”

Peter Pettigrew is dead.

His body lay on the ground like a giant rat.

Voldemort remained calm and put away his wand.

“Recover Gryffindor’s sword, no matter what the cost, the goblins must join the fight, no matter what they say, this is my demand.”

Voldemort stood up and glanced at the Death Eaters present: “I only want the sword, everything else doesn’t matter.”

After saying that, he turned and walked out of the room.

The Death Eaters who stayed here had complicated expressions.

Their hearts were filled with fear, joy, hope, and schadenfreude.

Snape was the first to turn and walk out of the room.

The other Death Eaters left in the chaos.

Lucius Malfoy was left standing alone in the room, looking at Peter Pettigrew not far away.

Generally speaking, when something like this happens, there must always be a Death Eater responsible for dealing with it.

Unfortunately, there are no more house elves in the Malfoy family.

So usually the Death Eater who caused the trouble will solve it himself.

As for the trouble caused by Voldemort himself, of course, Lucius Malfoy can only solve it himself.

But this time, Lucius Malfoy was in a particularly complicated mood.

To him, the death of Peter Pettigrew was simply a matter of course. Rather, it would be most terrifying if Voldemort could let Peter Pettigrew go. In that case, Lucius Malfoy would have to consider whether this Voldemort was Harry. ·The problem of Potter’s disguise.

But when something like this really happened, Lucius Malfoy found it difficult to accept it.

I wonder if Voldemort can still dominate today because Peter Pettigrew worked so hard to reshape his body?

But as a loyal Death Eater, having done so much was not enough. Just having a magic item destroyed would mean such an ugly death in front of all the Death Eaters.

Lucius Malfoy finally raised his wand, and Peter Pettigrew turned into ash and disappeared completely.

But the smell of the ashes will remain in this room forever and never go away.

…

“You should be lucky that Harry and the other three didn’t have time to come over.”

Standing in front of the window of Shafik Castle, Johanna looked down into the distance, where Death Eaters were densely packed and slowly gathering.

“What is Voldemort going to do?”

Lu Ke raised his head and thought for a moment: “Does he really think I was seriously injured and haven’t recovered yet?”

“It’s not like he doesn’t know about Hufflepuff’s potions…”

Johanna shook her head: “With so many Death Eaters, Voldemort may really be desperate.”

Lu Ke sighed: “Can you hold on?”

Johanna smiled: “Guess.”

Lu Ke was stunned for a moment: “Is there any decoration inside the castle?”

Johanna did not answer, but smiled mysteriously.

Lu Ke turned around with doubts and looked out the window.
