Harry Potter and the Attack of the Squibs - Chapter 743

c84 Night talk

Shafiq Castle.

The three of them, Harry and Dobby, were sitting in a small room, looking out of the window at the castle.

But it was dark, and they could see nothing in the darkness.

Even the Death Eaters who had always been beside the castle were no longer moving, and there was silence all around.

Johanna sat behind several people, looked at them and shook her head: “Don’t worry about Lu Ke, he is fine.”

Harry ignored it, but Hermione turned and glanced at Johanna.

“What…do you know?”

Johanna nodded: “So don’t worry, he will be back soon.”

Hermione nodded a little surprised, but her face was still worried.

The three of them were not just worried about Lu Ke.

Still reviewing.

This plan went incredibly smoothly from beginning to end. They accomplished something that was impossible to succeed, and even Voldemort was kept in the dark.

As a result, they were in dire straits due to the betrayal of a goblin and almost died in the Gringotts vault.

This greatly affected the self-confidence of the three Harrys, and they even began to doubt whether they could really complete the tasks left by Dumbledore.

And in the final analysis, they have still found nothing in their pursuit of the Deathly Hallows.

But this thought was soon interrupted.

Lu Ke is back.

He entered the castle silently in the darkness.

When the three Harrys and Dobby were unaware, Johanna stood up with a smile and opened the door for Luke.

Then they sat together in the hall, and Lu Ke told the three Harrys what happened in Gringotts after they left.

“You mean…” Harry’s face was full of confusion, “The mysterious man has razed Gringotts to the ground?”

Lu Ke nodded: “I didn’t expect such a result, and not a single goblin survived. I thought the rune snake had cured his madness…”

Hermione and Ron looked frightened on the side.

Harry and Dobby are not yet sure what Gringotts represents to the wizarding world, but Ron, who was born in a wizarding family, and Hermione, who has learned a lot, know.

Destroying Gringotts is similar to destroying Hogwarts. Voldemort’s power and madness have reached their limits. What the wizarding world will face next is a tyrant who is like a natural disaster.

“It’s ridiculous that those Death Eaters still think they can survive and continue living by taking refuge in a mysterious person…”

Ron shook his head and sighed: “Thank you, Lu Ke, I used to think that being caught by Death Eaters was nothing…”

Hermione and Harry looked at him helplessly.

Ron smiled bitterly: “Well, that time it was because the mysterious man wanted to use us as bait.”

The three of them were silent together.

Lu Ke smiled: “Don’t take it too seriously, I have some good news for you.”

As he spoke, he took out the key to Voldemort’s vault.

Harry was stunned for a moment: “Key? But there’s nothing in the vault.”

Lu Ke nodded: “Although he opened a vault in Gringotts, the mysterious man did not store anything in it, because the key is what really needs to be protected.”

The three Harrys looked at each other, and then screamed in surprise.

“What!”

Harry looked at Lu Ke’s face and then at the key in his hand: “You mean…this thing is a Horcrux?”

Lu Ke nodded and stood up.

“I know this is too unbelievable, but now there is a very simple verification method. After all, Gryffindor’s sword is also in my hand.”

There was a crisp sound of metal collision, followed by a terrifying low roar, and black smoke rose into the sky, but dispersed feebly in the air and finally disappeared.

Lu Ke put down the long sword. On the table, the golden key was split into two halves, leaving no trace on the table below it.

“Your efforts are by no means in vain, and we are one step closer to success.”

The three Harrys looked at the keys on the table, but they were not so happy and excited.

Instead, I felt a little confused and disappointed.

Although this was an absolute surprise, everything they had experienced before made them unable to be happy.

“Did we really do something?”

Harry shook his head: “It seems we can’t help with anything…”

Lu Ke shook his head: “This is your plan, I’m just helping temporarily.”

Harry looked at Lu Ke and smiled helplessly.

He remembered his old days at Hogwarts.

Several people were silent for a while.

At this moment, Johanna stood up: “What do you want to eat during midnight snack time?”

Harry was stunned for a moment, but Lu Ke had already started ordering without ceremony.

Anyway, it was the house elves in the Hogwarts kitchen who cooked, and a sumptuous meal was quickly placed on the table in front of them.

Several people sat around the table, eating and talking casually.

The food seemed to have a magical power. Harry and the three of them, who had been in extremely complicated moods just now, calmed down, and the emotions that had been turbulent in their hearts slowly dissipated.

Still, Harry couldn’t get down to business.

“Then where will the next Horcrux be?”

He said and glanced at Lu Ke.

If Harry still can’t see that Lu Ke has a secret information channel, then he is too stupid.

Lu Ke smiled: “Hogwarts.”

Harry was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

He couldn’t help but start thinking about the time he had spent at Hogwarts, as well as his professors and classmates.

“You’re not really going to make us go to Hogwarts before finals, are you?”

Ron looked at Lu Ke with exaggerated fright on his face.

Lu Ke smiled helplessly: “Christmas is coming, let’s wait until the holiday is over.”

Ron was stunned for a moment, then shook his head: “It doesn’t matter, don’t worry about that. Of course, the sooner Voldemort is dealt with, the better, isn’t it?”

Lu Ke shook his head: “Students are not in school during the Christmas holiday, so we will wait until school starts.”

Harry looked at Lu Ke with confusion: “Why?”

“Because…” Lu Ke sighed casually, “This is the final battle.”

Harry and the three of them were stunned.

They looked in disbelief and looked at Lu Ke in silence for a long time.

“real?”

Lu Ke nodded: “There is no time to waste.”

He smiled and looked at the three Harrys.

In fact, what they want is not a reason.

“Only by destroying all the Horcruxes can Voldemort be killed. Now his only Horcruxes are the one in Hogwarts, the serpent Nagini, and the Man in the Bottle.”

“Nagini and the man in the bottle never leave Voldemort’s side, so after solving the Horcruxes in Hogwarts, we need to face Voldemort directly.”

“There is no more suitable battlefield than Hogwarts. We must win.”
