Harry Potter and the Attack of the Squibs - Chapter 729

Lu Ke didn’t seem to notice Hermione’s suspicion at all. He smiled casually, and then took out Gryffindor’s long sword: “We found a way to deal with the goblins, so now even if you bring this long sword, Won’t be discovered by Death Eaters.”

This all relies on Johanna’s ability. Coincidentally, almost all goblins participated in the previous siege. They may not all be Death Eaters, but goblins definitely don’t mind unleashing malice on any wizard.

It’s just that the outcome is out of their control.

Harry took the sword and put it away carefully: “Do you know any clues about other Horcruxes?”

Lu Ke shook his head: “All I know is that Voldemort prepared two different batches of Horcruxes…”

Harry and the other three looked surprised.

Even such a small clue was something they knew nothing about before.

“Two batches?”

Lu Ke nodded: “Before being cured of his madness by the Rune Snake, Voldemort’s life was a life of struggle for Tom Riddle. He first learned about Horcruxes and how to make them at Hogwarts. The first Horcrux is his diary.”

Harry and the three of them knew that Percy had been controlled.

“Then there are precious magical items steeped in history, and Voldemort saw himself as the successor to the powerful wizards of old.”

“The last Horcrux was the serpent Nagini. I’m afraid Voldemort found it in the jungles of Albania.”

Lu Ke shook his head: “But later, Voldemort cured himself of his madness by relying on the rune snake. After that, he was probably afraid that making a Horcrux to divide the soul would bring about new madness, so he did not make a new Horcrux until He got the man in the bottle.”

“It is almost impossible to control the little man in the bottle, unless the wizard himself is an alchemist who knows how to create the little man in the bottle, but Voldemort suddenly discovered that the method of making Horcruxes can easily accomplish this.”

“After that Voldemort no longer worried, because for him, controlling the little man in the bottle was what he had to do.”

“I think it was at that time that the Rune Serpent also became a Horcrux, and besides that it was Peter Pettigrew’s Silver Hand…”

Lu Ke shook his head in silence.

“Judging from the fact that Silver Hand is also a Horcrux, Voldemort may have changed his criteria for selecting Horcruxes, and the level of hiding things is beyond my imagination.”

“Of the old Horcruxes, only Nagini remains, and there is another Horcrux that only Dumbledore knows where. But I can’t even determine the exact number of new Horcruxes.”

The three Harrys also fell into silence.

This was something none of them knew before, but it was bad news.

They originally thought that as long as they followed Dumbledore’s arrangements step by step, they would surely win. However, they suddenly discovered halfway through that even if they reached the end, they were still only halfway done.

Harry hesitated and glanced at Lu Ke: “Are you sure there is really another one in the old Horcrux that only Dumbledore knows about?”

Lu Ke nodded: “The locket you destroyed was the fifth of the seven Horcruxes. There are two more. One is Nagini, and I don’t even know what the other one is.”

Harry fell silent.

This seems to be the reason why Dumbledore gave them the task.

But Harry was confused again, why Dumbledore didn’t hand over the task to Lu Ke.

Even if Dumbledore felt that having more insiders would increase the risk of leaking secrets, Lu Ke certainly wouldn’t.

“As for the new Horcrux,” Lu Ke seemed to have no such doubts at all, “except for the rune snake, which should have been destroyed, there is also the little man in the bottle, the silver hand. What is left and where is it? We Do not know at all.”

“A few don’t even know.”

Harry nodded: “We can get rid of the Man in the Bottle and Nagini first.”

Lu Ke was stunned for a moment, and then couldn’t help but laugh: “But they will always follow Voldemort closely, unless you can defeat Voldemort.”

Harry lowered his head in silence.

He just felt like he had to do something.

The longer you live in the current wizarding world, the more you understand what a huge disaster the Death Eaters are. They are like a flood, and no one can be spared.

Ending Voldemort’s reign even just one day earlier would have saved thousands of innocent people.

It just seemed that Harry’s ability was not enough.

Lu Ke smiled: “But Dumbledore never seemed worried that we would fail.”

Miraculously, those words gave Harry strength.

He thought of the headmaster who had left. He was a wizard who never failed, the person Voldemort feared the most.

“Does he really think…I will definitely succeed?”

Lu Ke smiled: “He must have thought so.”

“Of course I’ll help too.”

Lu Ke smiled bitterly: “If I knew what a Horcrux was.”

Harry felt better, although in the end they still didn’t get anywhere.

“We will continue to look for clues left by Dumbledore.”

Harry was stunned for a moment, and something suddenly occurred to him: “We just have someone who can help!”

Lu Ke nodded: “Did you meet someone else in the dungeon of Malfoy Manor?”

Harry nodded: “Mr. Ollivander, he was held there by Voldemort for a long time. Voldemort must have said something!”

Lu Ke smiled: “How is Dobby?”

Harry was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that Lu Ke must have known that Dobby was injured.

Sirius Black smiled: “Don’t worry, Kreacher has healed Dobby’s injury. Between the two of them, Ollivander can’t escape, and the Death Eaters can’t get in.”

Lu Ke nodded: “Johanna and I have been hiding recently, so Ollivander will be left to you.”

“But if necessary, I can go around Dobby and help. I think he will be happy.”

Harry nodded.

Then several people drank tea, and the three of Harry and Sirius Black left together.

Although they still have countless doubts in their hearts, several of them feel much better than when they first arrived.

…

Ollivander had recovered, he was weak, partly from age, partly from the long ordeal in the dungeons of Malfoy Manor.

So when the three Harrys asked him what Voldemort wanted, Ollivander fell into a long silence.

But finally, he spoke: “Elder Wand.”

Harry and the other two were stunned for a moment.

This is a very familiar name.

Ollivander smiled bitterly: “But it’s useless for me to tell you now.”

“Voldemort has obtained the wand, and it is the one in his hand now.”

The three Harrys looked at each other.

Then Voldemort’s danger level has increased to another level.
