Harry Potter and the Attack of the Squibs
Chapter 3 Strategic Shift
Isabella Strange nodded: "I will."
Voldemort nodded and disappeared.
He turned around in a small room in the Malfoy mansion and looked around.
As usual, Isabella Strange was Voldemort's most trusted person. As long as she knew what to do, she would do her best.
As for the specific plan, it was enough for Voldemort, who made the plan, to know.
For example, this time, only Voldemort knew that everything he did was just a roundabout means beyond the real purpose.
What really matters is not Harry Potter, but others.
For example, Dumbledore.
For example, Lu Ke.
…
Lu Ke was standing in the corridor of Hogwarts Castle, looking at the summer night starry sky outside.
Strictly speaking, he stayed here not because of his identity as a Hogwarts student.
Because Lu Ke had been expelled.
This is a very delicate matter. The Ministry of Magic does not have the power to expel Hogwarts students.
But they can "temporarily" expel a Hogwarts student.
When the Ministry of Magic definitely announces that a Hogwarts student has violated the law, Hogwarts can expel the student, but Dumbledore must be present at the trial.
Because he is the headmaster of Hogwarts.
In this way, the Ministry of Magic cannot prove that Lu Ke has violated the law out of thin air, but there is still room for maneuver.
In order to collect evidence and make the trial fair, the time between announcing that a student is suspected and announcing the trial result may be very long.
Generally speaking, it takes one or two months, but this time the Ministry of Magic is particularly "cautious". In order to make Dumbledore "satisfied", they directly set a one-year evidence collection time for Lu Ke.
And before the trial is completed and Lu Ke is determined to have not violated the law, the suspicion is not cleared, and Lu Ke cannot continue his life as a Hogwarts student normally.
At the same time, in order to cooperate with the Ministry of Magic's "evidence collection", all of Lu Ke's actions are under surveillance and strictly restricted.
So he cannot communicate with the outside world and cannot leave Hogwarts.
Of course, for Lu Ke, this is a longer break, anyway, it is summer vacation.
The only problem is that the Shafik family's business has been affected.
But Johanna Augulus didn't care, because the most serious problem was actually the Daily Prophet, not the publisher.
Apart from that, Luke just stayed in Hogwarts obediently.
But on this night, Dumbledore suddenly appeared.
"Is Harry in trouble?"
Before Dumbledore said anything, Luke spoke first.
This made Dumbledore silent for a while, and he nodded: "I'm sorry..."
Luke smiled: "I think Harry should have the ability to protect himself now."
And even if Harry failed to protect himself, now that Voldemort has returned, Dumbledore must have arranged countless secret protections.
Dumbledore sighed: "He's fine, just..."
"He used the wand."
Luke nodded.
This is a very troublesome thing at this time, that is, if the Ministry of Magic is willing, they can use the same method used on Luke again.
And compared to Luke's side, there is no evidence at all. If Harry really used the wand, there will be a clear record in the Ministry of Magic's testing office, and the trial result will definitely be unfavorable to Harry.
This is just one side of the trouble. On the other side, since Voldemort has taken action against Harry, he must be determined to get it. No one knows what kind of danger will come next.
Luke glanced at Dumbledore: "You want me to protect Harry?"
Dumbledore was silent for a moment: "I don't know how deeply the Ministry of Magic is involved in this matter..."
Luke smiled: "Don't worry, I think there are still reliable people in the Ministry of Magic, at least they can remind us in time."
Dumbledore nodded.
Almost instantly, he seemed to have completely changed from a frail old man back to the warrior who could go to the battlefield at any time.
"Tomorrow night, before that you need to rush to Privet Drive alone."
Luke nodded.
If you calculate it, the time is just right, and he can even sleep on the train.
"I'll go now."
Dumbledore nodded: "Okay."
Luke turned and left.
Then Dumbledore suddenly spoke behind him: "If you encounter a Dementor..."
Luke turned and smiled: "I'm very good at running away."
...
Fernon was almost crazy because of the continuous owls all night.
And Harry was almost the same.
But in general, things seemed to be back under Dumbledore's control. He arranged everything and asked Harry to stay at the Dursleys.
Of course, the problem now is that the Dursleys don't seem to want to do this.
Fortunately, there was a Howler letter to save the situation.
Harry was not uninterested in what Dumbledore said "my last" in it, nor was he uninterested in why Dumbledore wrote directly to Aunt Petunia, and whether they knew each other before.
But Harry was still more concerned about his situation and what would happen next.
After the Dursleys finally agreed to let Harry stay here, Harry returned to his room and wrote a letter to Hermione Ron, Sirius Black and Luke.
So far, Harry finally had time to slowly endure the torment.
He didn't know what the final result would be.
…
This result came so quickly that Harry didn't expect it at all.
The next afternoon, the Dursleys tidied up and left.
Harry was curious about what they were going to do, but he didn't ask any more questions. He just stayed locked in his room and continued to wait numbly for everything to happen.
Either a good thing, or a bad thing, most likely a bad thing, but Harry didn't care anymore.
He hoped Hedwig would bring back the reply quickly.
Then at night, Harry heard a sound outside.
Harry sat up in bed.
He didn't know why anyone would enter the Dursley's house at this time, but Harry raised his wand and walked behind the door.
Then the door lock opened.
Harry hesitated, then walked out the door with his wand raised.
Standing at the bottom of the stairs, Harry saw what seemed like eight or nine people standing there looking at him in the living room.
"Put down your wand, Harry."
Harry was stunned for a moment.
Because that was Lu Ke's voice.
"Lu Ke?"
Lu Ke nodded: "I heard that you encountered a dementor."
Harry walked down the stairs and looked at the others.
A witch illuminated the area with a spell, something she had not done before, apparently because Moody wouldn't allow it: when the light came on, Moody gave the witch a nasty look.
