Harry Potter and the Attack of the Squibs

Chapter 25 Preparing for the Game

Lu Ke shook his head helplessly, and then the two returned to the Slytherin common room.

The dinner party that was unexpectedly interrupted just now continues here, and the prefects and senior students are thinking of ways to arrange it.

"There's good news."

Lu Ke smiled at the others: "The troll has been dealt with, we are safe."

There was a burst of laughter from the crowd.

Then Johanna started to help with the decoration, while Lu Ke sat aside honestly.

Although there was something about the troll, most people had not recovered from the atmosphere of the dinner. They soon started talking and laughing and continued eating and drinking: the house elves brought the food from the hall to the common room. .

The Slytherins sat on the sofa in front of the fireplace, gathered together in twos and threes, talking and laughing as they continued the dinner.

Lu Ke and Johanna were sitting on the long sofa, drinking pumpkin juice and talking casually about Professor Quirrell's performance.

"What a wonderful performance..."

"Comparable to William Shafiq."

The two were talking, and then Lu Ke suddenly found Malfoy sitting next to him.

"Hi, Malfoy."

Malfoy looked a little nervous, and he nodded: "Lu Ke...Johanna."

Johanna made no secret of her sarcasm: "Separated from your follower? Was he abandoned, or abandoned someone else?"

Lu Ke didn't notice, but Johanna could see clearly that Pansy Parkinson's eyes were filled with jealousy as she looked here.

Malfoy blushed and was silent for a long time.

"I'm not with them anymore."

Lu Ke nodded: "This is the best. Worshiping the mysterious person will make people forget how to think. This is not in line with Slytherin's standards."

Malfoy was silent for a moment: "What if they think about it and still worship the mysterious man?"

Lu Ke couldn't help but laugh: "I don't mind helping them think more. In short, the mysterious man is not worthy of worship. There is no doubt about it."

Malfoy hesitated: "Then why do so many people admire him?"

Lu Ke was stunned for a moment.

"This kind of thing...you can think about it yourself. Maybe after you understand it, you will understand why I don't worship the mysterious man."

Malfoy was silent.

He sat next to Lu Ke and said nothing, just eating and drinking carelessly.

Lu Ke didn't say anything else, he just talked to Johanna about their second grade potions class.

"It's almost time for the magic potion to be assisted by a wand. You should fail, right, Lu Ke?"

Johanna smiled maliciously, and Lu Ke could only shake his head helplessly.

Just like that, Halloween is over.

…

It was very cold in Hogwarts in November, and Luke had more things to do: because of Hagrid.

Hagrid is always responsible for various Hogwarts chores, many of which are beyond the imagination of ordinary people. He will not ask Lu Ke to do these things, but let Lu Ke do them. He is already familiar with them, and Hagrid Things that can't be taken care of.

Most of the time it's taking care of some magical creature that just needs someone to watch.

And now, it's the hippogriff.

They always live with Pegasus, but there are fewer of them than Pegasus. They always look arrogant, but they are still polite to Hagrid and Lu Ke.

Lu Ke was responsible for giving them extra meals, because in this season, the suddenly cold weather made the hippogriffs feel very uncomfortable.

Because of this, Lu Ke had the opportunity to enter the Forbidden Forest alone.

He moved carefully around the edges, avoiding all the centaurs.

Because Lu Ke remembered very clearly that Hufflepuff said, don’t make mistakes from the first side.

Although Lu Ke needed to read things written in the book many times before he could remember them, he could remember things that others said seriously after hearing them once.

Lu Ke relied on the help of Ravenclaw's map to pass through the Forbidden Forest without any hindrance.

There are dangerous magical creatures everywhere. The jungle is like a closed world. No one knows what is hidden in the shadows.

Lu Ke has determined the unicorn's activity range and the territory of the centaur tribe.

This is necessary preparation, but the opportunity to take action has not yet come.

In addition, Lu Ke spent most of his extracurricular time on Harry's Quidditch training.

Wood strongly urged Lu Ke to participate in all Harry's training, even if he already knew what was written on those forms.

One thing he instinctively noticed was that Harry would be more serious when Lu Ke was present.

From this point of view, Wood is a great captain.

So Lu Ke became Harry's exclusive cheerleader.

Harry would also tell Lu Ke something during the walk at the end of training.

Just like Snape.

"He finally recovered. It must have been an illusion."

Harry likes Potions, trust Snape.

Of course, Lu Ke knew very well that that time was definitely not an illusion.

Who knows how long Snape's negative emotional intelligence will take to make Harry, like Lily, give up on Snape completely.

But before that, Snape had lived such a good time for so long, and Lu Ke felt that he had nothing to regret.

"The next game..."

The next game, Harry's first Quidditch career, was Gryffindor versus Slytherin.

"I'm sorry, Lu Ke..."

Lu Ke couldn't help but laugh.

"Don't apologize for something like this, Harry, it's no one's fault."

Although Harry knew this truth very well, deep down in his heart he couldn't accept it easily.

"Hermione...she..."

Lu Ke was stunned for a moment.

He knew that Hermione should have become friends with Harry and Ron because of the troll incident, but he didn't know why Hermione suddenly appeared in the current topic of Quidditch.

"She told me that Johanna is a very strong seeker and uses your training method. As long as I work hard, I will definitely win..."

Now Harry looked guilty for cheating.

Lu Ke smiled helplessly: "That's what Johanna asked Hermione to tell you."

Harry looked surprised: "What?"

Lu Ke nodded: "Johanna doesn't think it's fair between you. She has been training much longer than you and has participated in many competitions."

Harry couldn't help but laugh: "But you said I could win."

Lu Ke nodded: "I said it, because the numbers on the form don't lie."

Harry raised his head and breathed out: "I think I can win."

Lu Ke smiled: "We won't know until the game is over."

Harry laughed too.

After leaving the training place, Lu Ke accidentally ran into Johanna and Hermione outside the castle.

The two of them seemed to be talking about something, and left as soon as they saw Lu Ke and Hermione.
