Harry Potter and the Attack of the Squibs

Hogwarts was responsible for almost all arrangements for the second test. Both Madame Maxime and Karkaroff were worried about the issue of fairness. Barty Crouch had met Dumbledore many times before, and this time Dumbledore was not surprised at all.

But this time Barty Crouch talked about a new problem.

"About Lu Ke, has he been to the bottom of the Black Lake?"

Dumbledore was a little surprised. He glanced at Barty Crouch and then nodded: "But this has nothing to do with the second test."

Barty Crouch shook his head: "I know that all the warriors should have solved the puzzle by now, started training, and are ready to deal with the murlocs. This is the content of the test, but if the murlocs will be in the competition If the winner favors a certain warrior, there will be no fairness in the Triwizard Tournament."

Dumbledore gave Barty Crouch a confused look.

He was briefly confused and couldn't understand why Barty Crouch was so sure.

Then Dumbledore suddenly understood.

The Ministry of Magic has Lu Ke's Animagus registration information.

Although in theory this should be top secret, Barty Crouch can definitely pay the price to get the contents if he wants: Barty Crouch is obviously willing to pay any price now.

Among the information that cannot be made public is the ability to master other languages.

There may be some mermaid language in Lu Ke's information.

This is not common, and can even be said to be very rare. Most wizards in the world who master the mermaid language rely on magic spells, rather than learning it on their own like Lu Ke.

"So what do you wish to do?"

Barty Crouch nodded: "Let's go meet him together. I want a definite commitment."

Dumbledore nodded: "Let's go then."

He left the Headmaster's Office with Barty Crouch, who was led by Dumbledore into an empty classroom.

Lu Ke was not here, but the two waited patiently for a moment, and Lu Ke walked in.

"You're looking for me, Professor?"

Dumbledore nodded.

Then Barty Crouch beat him to it: "Why did you kill my son, Barty Crouch Jr.?"

Barty Crouch had already raised his wand at this time, and he seemed to have almost completely lost his mind.

Lu Ke glanced at Barty Crouch, and then at Dumbledore.

Dumbledore had also taken out his wand, but he shook his head at Lu Ke.

This is to let Lu Ke say something casually and to ask Barty Crouch not to go crazy.

Lu Ke was silent for a moment: "He wants to kill me."

Barty Crouch couldn't help but laugh: "He? A wizard who has just left Azkaban and is extremely weak. He doesn't even have a wand in his hand. How can he kill you?"

Lu Ke was speechless.

If he told Barty Crouch at this time that Barty Crouch Jr. held the magic wand in his hand, then Barty Crouch would definitely want to understand that the wand was later inserted into Barty Crouch Jr.'s... The one in Crouch's throat.

Dumbledore reached out to Barty Crouch: "You are so excited..."

But it was too late, Barty Crouch turned into black smoke with an angry roar, and completely disappeared together with his wand, leaving only a pure black flash of light falling on Lu Ke.

With lightning speed, Dumbledore reached out and grabbed Lu Ke's right arm with the wound left by Avada Kedavra. He placed the wand on it and a soft white light enveloped the wound.

But he still took a step slower. The black flash had disappeared from the wound, and Lu Ke was visibly aging. His face became like that of a middle-aged man, and his hair was all white.

But when Dumbledore frowned worriedly, Lu Ke's face stopped changing.

"The Hufflepuff potion is in my blood and it stopped the curse."

Dumbledore looked at Lu Ke in surprise. A purple light flashed from the top of his wand, and then Dumbledore exclaimed: "It's really amazing..."

"You see, the curse enters your soul directly from the wound on your soul."

Dumbledore sighed: "I thought there was no way to resist such a curse."

Lu Ke smiled: "Now it seems that the potion left by Hufflepuff is indeed very powerful."

Dumbledore nodded: "Because it can't heal the wounds left by the killing curse, I seem to underestimate it..."

Then Dumbledore sighed: "None of this is your problem, Lu Ke, it's my failure to protect you..."

Lu Ke shook his head: "At present, it seems that Barty Crouch has been taken advantage of. He does have reasons to be crazy, but is this black magic so easy to learn?"

However, what surprised Lu Ke was that this time the paranoid Dumbledore did not suspect that Voldemort was involved in the matter.

"Barty Crouch works at the Ministry of Magic and has many opportunities to come into contact with dangerous dark arts."

Dumbledore sighed: "He even knows that you learned the fish-man language."

Lu Ke was silent for a moment.

While he was thinking, he suddenly felt a lack of energy. Ever since he drank the wisdom potion, he had never felt this way again.

Dumbledore patted Lu Ke on the shoulder: "Although the curse has stopped spreading, it will take time to clear it. Before that, you'd better rest quietly."

Lu Ke smiled helplessly: "Have I not been recuperating honestly this year?"

Dumbledore shook his head and smiled: "I think you need to rest for a short time this time. The second test is coming soon."

Lu Ke nodded, then he turned around and glanced at where Barty Crouch was just now.

There was nothing left there, not even a speck of dust.

Barty Crouch, once a high-ranking member of the Ministry of Magic and a powerful pure-blood wizard, now has nothing left.

And his family is even more pitiful. Mrs. Crouch had died before that, followed by Barty Crouch Jr., and now the family has been completely cut off.

"What are you going to tell the Ministry of Magic?"

Dumbledore tilted his head and sighed briefly: "This, it depends on what kind of story Fudge wants to hear."

Lu Ke glanced at Dumbledore, his expression was quite relaxed.

Despite this, Lu Ke still didn't think this matter could be dealt with easily. A senior official from the Ministry of Magic disappeared in Hogwarts. Whether it was missing or dead, Dumbledore had a hard time explaining it.

But that's what William Shafiq has to worry about.

Lu Ke casually followed Dumbledore into the school hospital, and Madam Pomfrey looked at him angrily.

"you again!"
