Harry Potter and the Attack of the Squibs - Chapter 747
c88 Appetizer
Harry had trouble falling asleep that night.
He walked out of the room, across the corridor, and toward the window.
Then Harry was surprised to find that the place was already overcrowded.
Ron and Hermione, Ginny and Malfoy were all there.
“So Gryffindor wins again.”
Ginny looked at Harry and smiled.
Harry shook his head helplessly. He was originally in a complicated mood, but now he seemed to be completely indifferent: “Has Gryffindor ever lost?”
Malfoy on the side shook his head helplessly.
Luna didn’t seem to care at all: “Actually, Gryffindor’s house points were negative before the final exam. At least in the first half of the school year, Gryffindor lost miserably in the House Cup.”
Harry was stunned for a moment.
This topic is really too familiar and interesting for the three Gryffindor points deductees.
“So the secret team Lu Ke mentioned is true?”
“What did you do?”
Ginny smiled proudly: “Break all the school rules you can!”
…
Very early the next morning, Harry climbed out of bed.
He tidied up hastily and walked into the hall.
Lu Ke is already here, eating lunch and telling jokes to Moody.
Mr. Weasley and Bill sat across from them, whispering something, and Fleur sat next to Bill, but Bill looked uncomfortable.
Harry said good morning to everyone and sat aside while Kreacher quickly brought him something to eat.
Harry suddenly remembered something and left the room again.
Soon he rushed back and grabbed Kreacher.
“This is what you were promised.”
Harry handed Kreacher a locket broken in half.
Kreacher let out a shrill cry and held the locket to his chest.
Harry smiled sheepishly and sat down in his chair to eat his breakfast.
Soon other people entered the hall one after another. When the sun shone in through the windows, the place was almost as lively as it was during dinner last night.
But immediately, Lu Ke stood up.
“It’s time to go, let’s go to the station.”
He stood up and walked out of Black’s house with the students.
There were still Death Eaters gathering in Grimmauld Place.
They still haven’t been able to crack the Black family’s loyalty curse: Although Harry doesn’t know who the secret keeper is, he is willing to believe that the person is Lu Ke.
But the Death Eaters still realized the importance of the area around Grimmauld Place to the Order of the Phoenix. They waited here, hoping to catch a big fish one day.
It’s a pity that the Death Eaters caught fish big enough to swallow them.
Lu Ke walked across the square casually, and the Death Eaters fell to the ground weakly wherever he passed. The whole process was silent and without any suspense.
Mr. Weasley and Bill followed behind the students. Bill looked helplessly at Fleur beside him. She resolutely joined the operation. Although Lu Ke agreed, Bill still felt helpless.
Fortunately, there were no accidents along the way.
Lu Ke was like some kind of ice flow, and there was deathly silence wherever he went. The Death Eaters seemed as peaceful as being frozen. The students caught up with the train on time and set off from the platform.
The four of them, Lu Ke, turned around and walked out of the station.
“Will they succeed?”
Mr. Weasley sighed as he watched the train leave.
“Of course they will.”
Fleur answered before anyone else.
The four of them laughed together.
Then they returned to Black’s house together.
…
At this time, the three of them were sitting in the train compartment, and for the first time, Harry felt that the plan could go wrong.
“Death Eaters are patrolling the corridors. They seem to be coming soon.”
Harry poked his head out and took a look, then shook his head: “They will definitely go crazy if they see me now.”
Ron couldn’t help laughing: “We are going to take back Hogwarts anyway, why don’t we go and take back the train first?”
Hermione sighed helplessly: “The invisibility cloak can easily allow the three of us to evade search.”
Harry nodded: “But since we are going to Hogwarts to fight, there is no need to hide.”
“Anyway, these Death Eaters are counted among the Death Eaters of Hogwarts.”
With that he took out his wand.
Ginny, who was sitting in the same compartment, stood up with excitement on her face: “I’ve wanted to do this for a long time!”
Malfoy on the side stood up helplessly.
“The Death Eaters patrolling the corridor have increased their manpower. To be on the safe side, I called the others over.”
So soon, other people gathered over.
When they came over, they had already cleared away the Death Eaters at the back of the car.
“so……”
Harry glanced at the many excited students here and shook his head helplessly: “There are no more than two people abreast in the aisle, so Ron and I will go up, and you can just follow behind and help.”
He knew that Hermione could protect him even if she stood behind him. As for the others, it would be fine if they didn’t cause trouble.
Then the battle begins.
The three of Harry were still the same as before, they easily eliminated all the Death Eaters.
As the last Death Eater fell, a cheer erupted in the middle of the aisle.
Harry shook his head helplessly, then squeezed back into his compartment and waited for the train to arrive.
He sat in the cubicle and shook his head casually: “They are much stronger than I thought.”
Ron nodded: “But we seem to be much stronger than before.”
Hermione looked at the two of them helplessly: “This is not the only trouble in Hogwarts…”
“and……”
Moreover, Lu Ke never mentioned an important task, a task that only they could complete: the Horcrux in Snape’s hand.
But then Ginny and Malfoy returned to the compartment, and Hermione immediately fell silent.
…
Snape stood in the headmaster’s office, looking out the window.
The new semester has begun, and the students who have left school will come back, and it will be time for the banquet soon.
As the headmaster, Snape must be present.
But he didn’t want that.
“Why hasn’t Lu Ke come to find this last Horcrux?”
No one answered.
Dumbledore appears to be asleep in the portrait.
“Is Harry really ready?”
Still no answer.
“Lu Ke protected everyone so well…”
Dumbledore, who had his eyes closed, said, “That was not a mistake. He did what I wanted to do.”
Snape snorted: “Then can he protect Harry at this last moment?”
Dumbledore was silent.
Snape glanced up out the window, where the train’s steam had appeared across the valley.
He turned and walked out of the principal’s office.
In front of the monster statue, Death Eaters were already waiting.
“They’re causing trouble on the train! Those Gryffindors!”
