Harry Potter and the Attack of the Squibs - Chapter 749
c90 go to war
Soon all the professors came back.
Professor McGonagall nodded to them: “Prepare for war. Snape will tell Voldemort that Harry is here, and the Death Eaters will come to attack us tomorrow at the latest.”
The professors had different expressions, but in the end they all had determination on their faces.
“Lu Ke and the rest of the Order of the Phoenix will come over to help. The only good news is…”
Professor McGonagall sighed: “As long as Lu Ke doesn’t die, the students won’t die.”
The professors breathed a sigh of relief.
What they were always most worried about was the students. In this case, they suddenly felt much more relaxed.
“But Death Eaters…”
Professor McGonagall nodded: “We need to make all the preparations we can…”
…
Snape disapparated outside Malfoy Manor.
He was walking towards the entrance of the manor, but suddenly stopped.
“Didn’t you already make plans?”
Snape turned around and saw Luke walking out of the shadows.
“But you haven’t arranged it yet.”
Snape looked surprised: “Are you still unwilling to let me go?”
Lu Ke shook his head: “I’m afraid that the mysterious man won’t let you go. Did you leave the wand to Harry?”
Snape nodded: “Dumbledore left a spell that can identify Horcruxes. I knew it was a Horcrux as soon as I got it.”
Lu Ke sighed: “This reason is enough for the mysterious man to kill you.”
Snape glanced at Lu Ke impatiently: “You are wasting your time now to give the Dark Lord a reason to kill me.”
Lu Ke was silent for a moment: “Look for an opportunity to escape during the decisive battle.”
Snape shook his head: “I refuse.”
Lu Ke was stunned for a moment, and he glanced at Snape doubtfully: “I will protect Harry, what are you insisting on?”
Snape turned and walked away.
Lu Ke stood silently, watching his back disappear at the door of Malfoy Manor, then turned and left with doubts.
…
Snape walked into Malfoy Manor and headed straight for the Great Hall.
The Death Eaters who saw him along the way were a little surprised.
As the current Headmaster of Hogwarts and the Dark Lord’s most trusted Death Eater, Snape rarely appears at Malfoy Manor, let alone arriving unexpectedly late at night.
When Snape entered the hall, he found Voldemort already sitting on a chair waiting for him.
“Severus…”
Voldemort said with a smile on his face: “Welcome.”
Snape quickly lowered his head: “I’m sorry, Master…”
A look of surprise flashed across Voldemort’s face.
“Hogwarts…what happened?”
Snape quickly explained: “Luce and Harry Potter raided Hogwarts, and no one except me could escape.”
A look of surprise flashed across Voldemort’s face.
He was surprised.
After all, now is the time when the Death Eaters are at the height of their power and control the entire wizarding world.
Even the Order of the Phoenix has disappeared, and Lu Ke has died under Gringotts.
But now it seems that Lu Ke is still alive.
At this moment, Voldemort was in an extremely bad mood.
Lu Ke is alive, is the key Horcrux in Lu Ke’s hand, the sword of Gryffindor?
The Horcrux that was originally thought to be absolutely safe had another setback, and Voldemort felt a surge of rage in his heart that lingered for a long time.
“Did you see… Gryffindor’s sword?”
Snape was stunned for a moment, then shook his head: “No.”
Voldemort glanced at Snape suspiciously.
But whether it was Legilimency or his expression and tone, Voldemort found no trace of Snape lying.
He shook his head, putting aside other concerns.
“convene……”
“Everyone.”
“giant.”
“Werewolf.”
“Dementors.”
“This is the final battle. I’m going to raze Hogwarts to the ground.”
Snape quickly lowered his head.
“Your will, my master.”
All the Death Eaters sounded ecstatic.
They have been waiting for this day for too long.
You know, Snape has occupied the position of the Dark Lord’s most trusted Death Eater for too long. Finally, this time he failed. Does that mean that any Death Eater has a chance?
As long as he performs well in the war, he might become the next Snape.
So with the support of such hope, the Death Eaters took action at an alarming speed.
…
Voldemort sat alone in a dark room.
The rage in his heart surged like the tide of the full moon.
The little man in the bottle stopped quietly in mid-air on his shoulder, looking down at him.
“Lu Ke…why does this stupid squib always cause trouble for me?”
No one answered, and the little man in the bottle remained silent as before.
Voldemort reached out and brushed Nagini’s head: “We must survive…I will definitely survive!”
“When this time is over, kill Snape.”
“It’s more reliable to keep the Horcrux in your own hands.”
…
It was a long night. Before dawn, Lu Ke had already woken everyone up.
“All the Death Eaters in the square have left.”
Lu Ke looked at everyone: “The mysterious man is gathering his men to besiege Hogwarts.”
Everyone in the Order of the Phoenix looked excited.
The plan went well, although it was only the beginning, but they were full of confidence.
“We are rushing to Hogwarts now and setting up defenses as early as possible.”
Lu Ke was silent for a moment and put away the inspiring words he had prepared: “Let’s go.”
So they left the Black Mansion together.
Everyone apparated together and landed in front of Hogwarts.
The door opened, and Hagrid looked at the crowd at the door and smiled: “Welcome, welcome, come in!”
Everyone rushed in together.
Lu Ke stayed at the back. He stood at the door and turned around to look at the wilderness outside.
Death Eaters are gathering.
It was like a dark cloud, covering the earth, and the crowd was noisy. This was an unprecedented force in the wizarding world, it could even be said to be an army.
They saw everyone in the Order of the Phoenix and the opportunity to open the door to Hogwarts, but no one rushed forward.
Because Voldemort had not yet appeared, the Death Eaters knew what would happen if they disobeyed Voldemort.
Lu Ke sighed silently, turned around and walked into the door.
At this time, Hogwarts was busy.
Everyone is working hard to prepare for the war. Hogwarts is a huge castle. If the protective spell is broken, the Death Eaters have countless gaps through which they can disapparate and invade.
Professor McGonagall was standing with the other deans, and they were casting spells toward the sky.
A magical protection that is huge enough to encompass the entire Hogwarts is slowly taking shape.
Lu Ke looked around and then said: “The first line of defense is in the courtyard. Open the door and let the Death Eaters come in and fight here.”
“If the protective spell is broken, then retreat to the castle, let Neville and the others help lead the way, and ambush through the secret passage.”
