Harry Potter and the Attack of the Squibs - Chapter 754
c95 visitor
The performance of Lu Ke and Riem Niu in front of the gate was too exaggerated. The Death Eaters were convinced that it was impossible for them to rush into the gate in a short time, so they chose to break through in other directions.
Now that Lu Ke has returned to the courtyard, Professor McGonagall can finally carry out their planned defeat plan.
The stone statue began to shrink into Hogwarts.
The Death Eaters did not understand what was happening at first, but soon Voldemort noticed the large open space in front of the gate of Hogwarts.
He waved to Hogwarts without hesitation.
In Voldemort’s mind, the matter of false defeat did not exist at all.
He didn’t care at all about any tricks that Hogwarts could do, because in the face of absolute power, all that was useless.
And facts seem to be proving Voldemort right.
The Death Eaters surged towards the main entrance of Hogwarts like a tide, becoming unstoppable wherever they went.
The stone statue slowly shattered under the continuous spells until it could no longer stand and collapsed completely, and the Death Eaters stepped on their remains and rushed into the gate of Hogwarts.
But the Death Eaters’ charge only ended in the courtyard.
Crossing the narrow bridge leading to the courtyard was a difficult task in itself, and the Death Eaters would even push each other, squeezing some of their companions into the black lake.
And as long as the Death Eaters fell into the lake, they sank silently to the bottom of the water and never appeared again.
Even if they successfully passed the stone bridge, a long time had passed. After passing through the gate, there were wizards who had already prepared.
The Death Eaters are alone here. They face a large number of opponents and have almost no power to fight back.
What’s even more frightening is that the foyer is blocked by four walls, and the Death Eaters outside have no idea what’s going on inside and are still charging desperately toward the courtyard.
The result is naturally no return.
Voldemort saw the crowd on the bridge from a distance, but he didn’t care at all.
Voldemort did not know how the Death Eaters fought in the courtyard, but he believed that victory was within easy reach.
A small black lake and a stone bridge cannot stop the Death Eaters. They can fly with magic spells, and there are dementors around them.
In fact, when the first dementor flew into the courtyard, it caused a lot of trouble for the defending wizards.
At this time, Lu Ke missed the pendant very much, but it was a pity that he could no longer find that useful fairy creation.
And the goblins have completely disappeared from the wizarding world.
Professor McGonagall could easily drive away the Dementors with the Patronus, but these magical crow-like creatures were gathering more and more and lingering.
Even if they are forced by the light of the Patron Saint to deliver a fatal kiss, they can still make the wizards in battle feel worse and worse.
They were already facing an overwhelming number of Death Eaters and felt tremendous pressure. When this feeling was amplified by the Dementors, it was simply unbearable.
Lu Ke had nothing to do.
He watched the dementors flying all over the sky, and suddenly a voice came from his heart.
“Do you need help?”
Lu Ke shook his head secretly and said to himself in his heart: “No need, your strength must be left at the end. This is the key to our victory.”
Then the mysterious voice disappeared.
Lu Ke raised his head and glanced at the sky.
Dementors can fly. They completely ignored the restrictions of the Black Lake and the Stone Bridge. They hovered over Hogwarts like a black smoke. Then they chose their target and rushed down.
Although the patron saint’s light was lit throughout the castle, the dementors were everywhere.
The only good news is that the defense line is still maintained. Relying on the local numerical advantage, the Hogwarts side consumes the power of the Death Eaters in the foyer at a terrifying speed.
And throughout the castle, there were more and more chaotic battles.
Harry and the other three were among them.
They had not taken part in the siege in the foyer from the start, because Harry didn’t like bullying.
And when it comes to understanding the secret passages of Hogwarts, Harry, who always carries the Marauder’s Map and conducts secret operations every semester, is better than anyone else.
They soon discovered the benefits of Lu Ke’s arrangement.
Hogwarts itself is a mysterious, complex, and dazzling place.
There are secret passages everywhere, hidden secret doors everywhere, and even the stairs move randomly.
Death Eaters can find any entrance into Hogwarts, but then they become trapped in this complex maze.
This was also their school, but no Death Eaters were as keen on discovering secret passages as the three Harrys were when they were in school.
Not to mention Harry still has the Invisibility Cloak.
Ever since the first time three people hid under the invisibility cloak and used magic to kill a Death Eater, they had fallen in love with this kind of sneak attack.
“What number is this?”
Ron was obsessed with this and kept trying to find more Death Eaters, but Hermione always insisted that they should only attack lone Death Eaters.
After all, even so, their efficiency is frighteningly high.
“I forgot, but compared to the total number of Death Eaters, it’s just a drop in the bucket.”
Hermione said as she glanced outside through the window next to the three of them.
There were Death Eaters all over the mountains and plains, and it didn’t look like there was any decrease.
“You used an uncommon idiom again. What does that mean? A common saying from Lu Ke’s hometown?”
Hermione nodded: “It means…”
“Nothing, let’s continue.”
Harry nodded: “A secret passage leading to Hogsmeade is nearby, let’s go take a look.”
Ron nodded, and the three of them started taking action under the invisibility cloak.
Hogsmeade is also surrounded by Death Eaters, and sooner or later they will find the secret passage, especially since Death Eater Snape is now with Voldemort.
So this is something worth noting.
Harry didn’t know if there were others doing the same thing, but it certainly wouldn’t be superfluous for them to help now.
The three people soon arrived at the entrance of the secret passage. It was peaceful here. Although there were sounds of fighting at the corner of the corridor not far away, at least there were no Death Eaters here.
Harry breathed a sigh of relief, but just as they were about to leave, Harry heard footsteps.
That was a wizard coming out of the secret passage.
The three of them, Harry, clenched their wands together. They had already developed a special method for sneak attacks.
The sound of footsteps finally reached us, and a tall wizard walked out of the secret passage.
What greeted him were two magic spells.
“Expelliarmus!”
“Everything is petrified!”
The wizard was obviously caught off guard, but he reacted very quickly. Not only did he lower his head to avoid Harry’s disarming spell, but he also waved his wand to silently create a shield that blocked Ron’s petrification spell.
