Harry Potter and the Attack of the Squibs

Lu Ke looked down at Harry and was silent for a moment.

"Have you made a decision?"

Harry shook his head silently.

"Snape is alive."

Harry looked up in surprise and saw Snape standing in front of him.

"Very good!"

But Snape didn't look happy.

He looked at Harry coldly: "I don't want to see you."

Harry lowered his head with a complicated expression.

"I know you don't want others to know your memories."

Snape nodded: "But I didn't expect that Voldemort would suddenly attack me, so I had to use this last resort."

Harry smiled bitterly: "It doesn't matter. Don't worry, I'm going to die soon."

Lu Ke looked down at Harry: "No, you won't."

Harry looked up at Lu Ke: "I always thought you knew everything, but in fact you know nothing, don't you?"

Lu Ke shook his head: "I already know that you are a Horcrux."

Harry showed a surprised look: "Then you still..."

Lu Ke nodded: "Because I can kill Voldemort without destroying all the Horcruxes. Even if he can be resurrected, I can kill him countless times until I die."

Harry sighed and stood up: "You will get old one day."

Lu Ke nodded: "I can easily kill Voldemort when I am old."

He stretched out his hand to stop Harry who was about to leave.

"Listen to me, Harry."

"No one in the world is obliged to sacrifice himself to save others."

Harry hesitated for a moment, stopped and looked at Lu Ke: "This time is different, the entire wizarding world is waiting for me."

Lu Ke shook his head: "No one is waiting for you."

"I want Voldemort to die and the Death Eaters to be finished. I will work hard to do it myself, and you don't have to do anything at all."

Harry looked at Lu Ke with a wry smile: "Thank you, Lu Ke."

Lu Ke looked at Harry and was silent for a moment.

He knew that he had failed to convince Harry.

"What you are about to do is not the work of a hero."

Harry couldn't help but laugh.

"I'm not doing this to be a hero."

"I'm already a hero."

Lu Ke watched Harry fall into silence.

Harry looked at Lu Ke and smiled: "Aren't you going to get out of the way?"

Lu Ke shook his head.

Harry raised his hand and handed Lu Ke's wand to him: "I will always remember you as a friend."

Lu Ke sighed and reached out to take it.

Harry looked into Lu Ke's eyes: "I know what I'm doing."

"I didn't know it before, but now I'm calmer."

Lu Ke looked at Harry and was silent for a long time.

Surrounded by constant battles between guards and Death Eaters, terrifying spells were destroying everything. Occasionally, remaining stone statues would run past the castle door, and dull footsteps echoed in the middle of the building.

Snape stood behind Lu Ke, turning his face and looking at the tapestry on the wall not far away as if it was nothing to do, until Harry finally passed by Lu Ke.

"Potter..."

Harry stopped and smiled at Snape: "Snape...goodbye."

After saying that, he walked down the stairs without looking back.

Lu Ke was silent for a long time as he watched Harry's back disappear around the corner of the stairs.

Then he turned and walked up the stairs.

"Come to the field hospital with me. You need to rest. I will make it clear to them that you are one of our own."

Snape did not do what Lu Ke said.

He stood quietly, motionless.

Lu Ke turned around blankly.

"how?"

Snape just shook his head nonchalantly.

His face was full of pain.

A complex emotion flashed through Lu Ke's heart, the clearest of which was anger.

Snape struggled to speak, his voice extremely hoarse: "I thought... I could escape."

"You are really an arbitrary and cruel person, Lu Ke."

Lu Ke nodded: "Come with me to rest."

Snape followed silently.

Together they walked into the Room of Requirement's makeshift field hospital.

As soon as Snape entered, Potions Professor Slughorn, who had been assigned to take care of the wounded here, jumped up: "You..."

Lu Ke shook his head casually: "Snape has always been one of his own."

This time, not only Slughorn, but also Madam Pomfrey and the injured students who were resting were startled.

"What?"

Lu Ke nodded: "Snape has never betrayed Dumbledore. He was injured this time to deal with Voldemort."

Madam Pomfrey walked over quickly: "Go and lie down on the hospital bed over there."

Snape hesitated, but did as Madam Pomfrey said.

After all, Madam Pomfrey is a witch that even Dumbledore cannot disobey.

Slughorn approached Lu Ke in a surprised voice and whispered, "What's going on?"

"There is so much blood on his body, it is bleeding from the carotid artery. If the wound has not healed, then he is already dead."

Lu Ke nodded casually.

Slughorn was so excited that he lost track of his words.

"Snape was Dumbledore's spy placed beside Voldemort."

"When he escaped, he dropped the wand Voldemort gave him. That was intentional."

Slughorn looked confused: "Isn't that because he was disarmed by Professor McGonagall?"

Lu Ke smiled helplessly: "No, if he didn't mean it, he should always bring his wand with him to fight, and then be disarmed. The Dark Lord's gift should be carefully hidden close to his body, and it will never be snatched away."

"Otherwise, why do you think Voldemort would take action against Snape, his most reliable assistant?"

"It's because he feels that Snape has lost his gift and is unforgivable."

Slughorn turned to look at Snape with a complicated expression.

There was fear, doubt, and complacency in his eyes.

At such times, he can still grasp the top secrets with ease in just one sentence.

Maybe it doesn't matter at all now, but maybe soon it will become an important talking point for him to develop his network.

Of course, it is impossible for someone like Lu Ke, who doesn't care much about connections, to notice such a thing.

Just as Slughorn thought, Lu Ke left after speaking.

He still has a lot to do.

…

At this time, the battle in the castle had passed its most intense period and slowly fell into silence.

It was getting dark and the sun was going to set.

The Death Eaters were beginning to tire after a day of frenzied fighting, and they couldn't find food here, so they had to scatter around to rest.

The defenders of Hogwarts have been exhausted from the continuous battles, and injured people are constantly being sent to the Room of Requirement.

The only good news is that they have a place to rest and a place to eat if they want to.

After the main force rested, the remaining battles were all silent sneak attacks, which broke out sporadically outside the castle, and those who took action were fishmen and centaurs.
