Harry Potter and the Attack of the Squibs

Chapter 56: Escape

But Lu Ke dodged with unusual speed.

A flash of realization and anger suddenly flashed through Voldemort's heart.

Just now, his spell was unstoppable with the help of the arrangements at Malfoy Manor. Lu Ke fell to the ground in a panic. Voldemort thought that Lu Ke was seriously injured, but the opposite was true.

Lu Ke realized that he was not able to resist the force head-on, so he chose the only effective method, buffering the force of the impact with an embarrassed posture, and fell to the ground with only minor injuries.

After seeing this scene, Voldemort and the other Death Eaters thought that Lu Ke had been seriously injured and fell to the ground. However, they did not expect that Lu Ke was actually only slightly injured and was still able to fight.

It's almost like a taunt.

Voldemort thought this and raised his wand.

He wanted Lu Ke to pay the price.

The terrifying power roared towards Lu Ke.

At this time, Lu Ke had just gotten up from the ground.

He could only do his best to be ready to unload.

But this time, it was too late.

Lu Ke was knocked out, and he was in the air, spitting out a mouthful of blood, and then was pulled into a long red flag by the strong wind.

Then Lu Ke fell heavily to the ground.

At that moment, there was deathly silence among the Death Eaters.

Voldemort himself couldn't believe what was happening.

But ten thousand questions flashed through his mind, and his final conclusion was that there was no need for Lu Ke to show weakness here.

He really defeated Lu Ke, who had won a great victory in the Ministry of Magic not long ago.

But despite all the doubts, one thing is certain.

Lu Ke would never show weakness here intentionally, he is not that kind of person.

So Voldemort won.

He thought about this clearly and laughed wildly.

"Lu Ke..."

Then Voldemort saw Lu Ke getting up from the ground with difficulty, turned around and ran away.

For a moment, the Death Eaters were speechless and froze on the spot.

Voldemort stood there, uneasy suddenly rising in his heart, his face uncertain, and he stood silent.

Until a sound of howling wind came, a huge black fire dragon flapped its wings with difficulty and rushed into the distant sky.

Voldemort felt disappointed and relieved.

If Lu Ke didn't escape, he would not dare to test whether Lu Ke was really injured.

This is already the best result.

Voldemort raised his wand high and laughed wildly.

A wave of terror erupted among the Death Eaters, and cheers reached the sky.

Voldemort turned and walked into the castle with a smile.

When his back was turned to everyone, Voldemort's face revealed his true thoughts.

It's all a matter of fear.

In fact, Voldemort had no confidence in winning at first.

His first thought was to run away at all costs and abandon the base he had been operating for so long. It was impossible for the Death Eaters to successfully escape.

But in the end Voldemort stayed.

Because he had too many reasons to stay and gamble.

This is where Voldemort spent a long time and laid many traps. He can defeat almost anyone here.

Voldemort has prepared new Horcruxes, which are hidden where no one can find them. As long as the Horcruxes are still there, Voldemort can be resurrected even if he dies.

So in the end, Voldemort chose to fight to the death with Lu Ke.

Unexpectedly, the result turned out to be a complete victory.

Of course, Lu Ke persisted in escaping despite being seriously injured, but for the Death Eaters who had just suffered a huge defeat at the Ministry of Magic, this was already a major victory that was enough to turn the situation around.

Now there's just one thing they need to do, and that's celebrate.

…

When Lu Ke returned to Shafiq Castle, his injuries had healed.

He walked into the castle gate with a smile.

Johanna came forward: "What's the result?"

Lu Ke smiled: "It went more smoothly than planned before."

Johanna smiled: "The invincible Lu Ke lost to Voldemort and was still in such a state of embarrassment. It's really embarrassing."

Lu Ke shook his head: "I have never been invincible. I have lost to many people before, many times."

The two returned to the room and sat down together, and then Lu Ke looked down at the map.

"I think now, the Death Eaters will use just two or three days to regain their arrogance and attack everywhere."

Johanna stood beside him and nodded: "This also means that the guards of Malfoy Manor will be relaxed, and the possibility of Harry and the three of them encountering Death Eaters will greatly increase."

Lu Ke nodded casually: "I hope this will make them more cautious, and it is best not to join any more battles..."

Johanna shook her head casually: "It's hard to change your nature."

…

Both Lu Ke and Johanna knew that this sentence was correct, but they did not expect that the proof would come so quickly.

The next morning, a man knocked on the door of Shafiq Castle.

Johanna was very surprised.

There have been no guests at Shafiq's house for a long time.

Since the Death Eaters took over the wizarding world, the once bustling Shafik family has become deserted, and there are even Death Eaters coming here to cause trouble. After Johanna took action several times, it became calmer.

After opening the door, what appeared in front of Johanna was Moody's magic eye.

"Good morning, ma'am."

Johanna smiled helplessly and opened the door, letting Moody in.

"I thought……"

Moody shook his head: "The secret to dealing with Death Eaters is to make sure that no one can predict your actions, so you can take them off guard."

With that said, the two walked into the castle together.

When Lu Ke saw Moody, he shook his head helplessly: "I said..."

Moody nodded: "I just came here to find you. I didn't want to help anyone."

"As for the two Death Eaters I captured, they insist on causing trouble for me. Aren't I protecting myself according to your wishes?"

Lu Ke smiled helplessly.

"I'm fine, you saw it."

Moody nodded: "You look as strong as a cow, but I know that Hufflepuff's potion is flowing in your veins. No matter how serious the injury is, it only takes a day for you to heal..."

"But forget it."

Moody looked up at the tall castle hall: "I have no obligation to care about you, I just want to find out what happened."

"Can you tell me?"

Lu Ke nodded.

"I went to Malfoy Manor and lost to Voldemort there."

Moody let out a long breath.

"Although you can escape, it means that you are not completely defeated, but the Death Eaters have regained their confidence..."

"Why?"

Lu Ke was silent for a moment.

"Would you believe me if I said I just wanted to end everything early and ended up losing it?"

Moody sneered: "I'm not a fool."

Lu Ke sighed helplessly: "I have a plan."
