Harry Potter and the Attack of the Squibs - Chapter 738
c79 succeed
Taking the key from Harry, Dobby disappeared with an explosion.
Harry stayed where he was, silent for a long time, then turned and sat on the chair.
Hermione sat silently beside him and placed her hand on his.
Ron smiled bitterly and sat on the windowsill, turning to look out the window.
In this way, silence continued in the room for a long time.
The sun was setting, and night slowly crept over from the west, covering the entire room.
But no one turned on the lights and they remained motionless.
I don’t know how long it took, but suddenly a bang exploded in the ears of Harry and the three of them.
They jumped together.
“who?”
Harry waved his wand, and a light appeared at the tip of his wand.
Then Harry saw Dobby.
In his open palm was a golden key.
“you made it?”
Harry’s voice even trembled.
Dobby smiled and nodded.
Then Harry was startled by Ron’s cheers.
Hermione quickly stopped her: “Be careful!”
She turned and glanced out the window, but the Leaky Cauldron across the street was dead silent and dark, with no sign of any wizarding activity.
“You really did it!”
Ron tried his best to lower his voice but still couldn’t suppress the excitement in his tone.
Dobby nodded.
Harry and the three of them breathed a collective sigh of relief.
Anyway, that’s the best news.
Harry looked at Dobby carefully: “You’re not hurt, are you?”
Dobby shook his head: “Everything goes well.”
As he spoke, he reached out and returned the Invisibility Cloak to Harry.
“No one or any wizard can see through the invisibility cloak. It’s such an amazing treasure.”
Harry reached out and took the invisibility cloak and put it aside casually: “Are you really not in danger?”
Dobby nodded and recounted his experience from the beginning.
As a former house elf of the Malfoy family, Dobby knew Malfoy Manor very well. He directly apparated to the entrance of the secret passage outside Malfoy Manor, then put on the invisibility cloak and walked into the secret passage.
The Death Eaters obviously knew nothing about this secret passage. Dobby clearly remembered the appearance of the secret passage when he came last time, and the dust had not changed at all.
Then he left the secret passage and came to the hall of the castle.
This is where Voldemort kept his key.
It was evening, and there were several Death Eaters sitting in the room.
They don’t necessarily have anything going on, they just stay here.
After all, if Voldemort leaves his darkroom, he will always come here.
Of course, the Death Eaters who stayed here for this reason were not eligible to get a seat when Voldemort held a meeting.
Dobby did not attract the attention of any Death Eaters, but out of caution, he did not act immediately, but stood patiently in the corner, waiting for the opportunity.
This opportunity did not arise until nightfall and the Death Eaters began to eat their dinner.
They ate in another room and all the Death Eaters left the room.
Although two Death Eaters remained, Dobby was sure he would never get a better chance.
So he decisively changed the key.
Although Dobby was frightened at the time, until he finally walked out of the secret passage with the real key and left Malfoy Manor completely, no Death Eaters stopped him.
After hearing Dobby’s experience, the three Harrys looked at each other in silence.
In any case, it was too smooth.
But they couldn’t say there was anything really suspicious.
It can only be said that they were too worried before. Maybe the invisibility cloak is really what Lu Ke said, an absolutely reliable and powerful magic item.
Harry hesitated and looked up at Hermione: “Is Gringotts open at night?”
Hermione was stunned for a moment.
She couldn’t answer this question.
Ron smiled: “Of course, Gringotts never closes.”
Harry nodded: “Dobby, follow us with the invisibility cloak. If there are any problems, take us to Disapparate away.”
After saying that, he stood up with the key in his hand: “Let’s go!”
The three of them jumped from the window together, then landed lightly on the ground and headed straight to the entrance of the Leaky Cauldron.
The door to the bar had been closed. After they pushed it open, there were vague complaints from inside. It seemed that someone had slept on the table here overnight.
The three of them ignored it and walked through the bar to Diagon Alley.
It was deserted and dark.
But in the distance, you can see the light from inside the gate of Gringotts.
It looked like a shining gold coin.
The three of them walked into the hall together, and then raised the key in front of the counter.
At this moment, it seemed that all the goblins in Gringotts had noticed something.
Their eyes were focused on Harry, who felt his hair standing on end and cold sweat falling like a snake.
Hermione and Ron both grasped their wands unconsciously.
But the goblins did nothing.
The goblin behind the counter nodded to Harry: “Please follow him.”
Harry turned around and Griphook walked over from his left.
“plz follow me.”
Harry nodded silently, then turned and followed the goblin’s footsteps.
Together they walked to the entrance in silence, got on the minecart, and headed off into the abyss.
The wind was howling, and Harry clenched his wand with one hand and his wand with one hand.
Finally, the minecart arrived at its destination.
They stepped off the minecart together.
Harry took off his hood and stood in front of Griphook: “Are you sure the fake key won’t be discovered?”
Griphook smiled and nodded: “Of course.”
…
Malfoy Manor.
Voldemort walked casually down the hall.
He didn’t want to do anything, just take a walk outside after dinner.
Then Voldemort saw the key lying on the side of the room.
At that moment, Voldemort noticed something strange.
He raised his right hand, and the little man in the bottle appeared out of thin air.
“Go and have a look.”
The man in the bottle nodded, floated to the key, and put his hand on it.
Then he turned back to Voldemort: “That’s not a Horcrux.”
Voldemort’s face was filled with shock and anger.
“How can it be……”
For a moment, the Death Eaters in the room stood up in horror, and some even knelt down directly in front of Voldemort.
No wizard can withstand the wrath of the Dark Lord.
Voldemort’s eyes swept across the room, and then landed on the little man in the bottle: “It really surprised me…”
Then he suddenly laughed: “There is actually a little thief who dares to have an idea on my head…”
Voldemort turned and walked towards the door: “Let’s go to Gringotts.”
…
“Then open the door.”
Harry said handing the key to Griphook.
Griphook reached out and took it, but did not move. Instead, he looked up at Harry: “Reward…”
Harry nodded absently: “When we find what we want, we will give it to you.”
Griphook shook his head.
