Harry Potter and the Attack of the Squibs - Chapter 760
c101 Kill the snake
Everyone came slowly. Some of them saw Voldemort’s performance at the door, and some received messages from the house elves. Soon the Room of Requirement was filled with people.
At the same time, the Death Eaters were running wild in the castle.
Part of their motivation comes from Voldemort’s rage, and part of it comes from the fear in their hearts.
Everything was wonderful originally, although there were some twists and turns, but Voldemort was so powerful and the Death Eaters were so numerous that they were destined to rule the wizarding world.
Although the wizarding world ruled by Voldemort is certainly not a good one, at least they will not be doomed to a bad end like the group of rebels in the Order of the Phoenix.
But now, things seem to have changed.
Harry Potter actually survived Voldemort.
Many Death Eaters saw green lightning falling on Harry Potter, and his survival seemed like a symbol.
It represents a fact that has happened but was not realized.
And this fact means that Voldemort is destined to fail.
The Death Eaters couldn’t believe this conjecture. They urgently needed to vent and needed a reliable victory to make themselves forget this conjecture.
But unfortunately, they could not find the enemy.
Lu Ke finished eating nonchalantly, then turned around and looked inside the room.
There were very few injured people lying on the hospital bed, but there were many people standing behind, almost all of them.
After all, the battle has progressed so far, and everyone has fully accepted Lu Ke’s pre-battle arrangements.
His tactics allowed the guards of Hogwarts to have an advantage throughout the entire process even though they were at a disadvantage in terms of strength.
“Harry, come here.”
As soon as Lu Ke opened his mouth, everyone fell silent.
But he was speaking only to Harry, and the others turned to continue their conversation.
Harry walked to Lu Ke and the two stood in the corner together.
“Where’s Gryffindor’s sword?”
Harry waved to Hermione quickly: “Hermione!”
“I gave it to Hermione before I went to find Voldemort.”
Lu Ke nodded: “Wise choice, but how did you survive?”
Harry took the sword from Hermione’s hand, then looked down at the ruby on the hilt and smiled.
“Dumbledore knew from the beginning that I would survive.”
Lu Ke looked surprised: “From under the death curse?”
Harry nodded: “I am one of Voldemort’s Horcruxes, which means I must be destroyed, but a living wizard is different from all other Horcruxes.”
“I have a slight chance of survival, if Voldemort himself does it when my Horcrux is destroyed.”
Lu Ke raised his head and let out a long sigh: “The death curse is an extremely special kind of black magic. Among all the curses that can cause death, it is the only one that can directly erase the soul.”
“In other words, if you cast a death curse on a Horcrux, you can only kill the fragment of Voldemort’s soul attached to it without harming the Horcrux…”
“But both your and Voldemort’s souls could be killed by the Death Curse. What did Dumbledore do to keep you alive?”
Harry smiled: “Maybe it’s just pure luck.”
As he spoke, he handed the long sword to Lu Ke.
Lu Ke shook his head helplessly: “Huh… Dumbledore…”
He put away his sword: “The so-called hero is someone who chooses the latter between a simple mistake and a difficult right.”
“You’re a real hero now, Harry.”
Harry shook his head: “It doesn’t matter, I did it before, and so did you.”
Lu Ke turned around with a smile: “You were not the one before, because you didn’t make your own choice. I have never been the same…”
“Because it’s never hard to be right for me.”
With that said Lu Ke walked out of the room.
Although he was alone and violated the arrangements for everyone, no one said anything.
Lu Ke will definitely do the right thing.
So everyone just hoped in their hearts that Lu Ke would return safely, and then waited patiently.
…
Lu Ke stood beside the corridor and looked down at the window.
At this time, all the Death Eaters were already inside the castle, and the furious Voldemort was at the gate of the castle.
He is waiting for his followers to sweep away all resistance.
But unfortunately, in just a few moments after the rebels disappeared, the power supporting the Death Eaters disappeared.
They are no longer fanatical and angry.
All that was left was cold despair and unbearable fear.
If you think about it carefully, Lu Ke and Voldemort are actually similar.
And they are now losers.
Even now, Lu Ke was in the corridor where several Death Eaters had seen him, but these Death Eaters quietly turned around and left.
They do nothing because they believe that whatever they do is useless.
Lu Ke smiled and climbed out of the window.
He landed on the tiles of the roof and ran towards the castle gate.
Soon, Lu Ke came to the edge of the roof.
Then he climbed over the injured stone statue that rested here and fell straight down.
The sound of the wind awakened the man standing below: Voldemort.
He raised his hand and threw a magic spell at Lu Ke in the air.
Lu Ke kicked his feet on the wall and then landed on the ground.
Voldemort turned around, and without thinking a flash of green lightning flashed.
But Lu Ke lowered his head to avoid it.
There was pity on his face.
Voldemort was furious, but he fully understood that Lu Ke was right.
The invincible Dark Lord actually picked up the killing curse again, instead of the powerful and overwhelming terrifying curse, just because he was tired.
Voldemort would also be tired and feel powerless.
And especially now.
But fortunately, there is the big snake Nagini and the little man in the bottle beside him.
The poisonous snake passed by like a gray lightning, almost without a trace under the cover of the night, while the villain in the bottle opened his arms and spread many barriers in front of Voldemort.
Lu Ke waved his sword.
The sword light flashed like lightning, and then a black mist rose.
Voldemort let out a howl of great pain: “No!”
He watched helplessly as Nagini was chopped off by a sword and turned into ashes.
A powerful force burst out from Voldemort’s body, which was already exhausted. He raised the magic spell at Lu Ke, and a terrifying force rushed out.
Lu Ke turned around and ran away.
He jumped up and was hit by this terrifying curse while he was in mid-air.
Lu Ke was injured, but he also escaped with the help of this power.
Lu Ke’s back disappeared instantly in the night, and Voldemort furiously threw spells in the direction where he disappeared, but none of them could hit the target.
Voldemort vented like this crazily for a long time before finally stopping.
He bowed his head and remained silent for a long time.
“Now…only you and me are left…”
The little man in the bottle remained silent.
Only the cold winter wind blows quietly.
