Chapter 1247: O.W.L Results

As soon as Evan stood up, Harry came over to help.

With Harry’s assistance, Evan tied the letter to Hedwig’s leg and gently stroked her feathers.

"Go find Elaine, Hedwig. You know where she is, don't you?" said Harry. "Take this letter to her."

Hedwig let out a soft hoot, her amber eyes gazing at Evan, locking with his.

In her round eyes, Evan sensed something unusual.

What's up with this owl?

She'd been acting weird since last night.

Just as Evan...

Chapter 1246: Letter and Conversation

Because of Evan's information, Ginny suddenly became very upset and was thinking of new ways to drive Fleur away.

Before they could come up with anything to discuss, the door was pushed open again and Mrs. Weasley popped her head in.

"Ginny," she whispered, "come downstairs and help me with the lunch."

"I'm talking to this lot!" said Ginny, outraged.

"Now!" said Mrs. Weasley, and withdrew.

"She only wants me there so she doesn’t have to be alone with Phlegm!" s...

Chapter 1245: Messy Romantic Entanglements

"Stop calling her that, Ginny," said Mrs. Weasley sharply. "Well, I need to get back to the kitchen before she destroys it. … Eat your eggs while they’re warm … hah!"

Looking careworn, she left the room.

Ron still seemed slightly punch - drunk, staring at the door. He was shaking his head experimentally like a dog trying to rid its ears of water.

"Don’t you get used to her if she’s staying in the same house?" Harry asked.

"Well, you do," said Ron, "but if she...

Chapter 1244: Chicken and Phlegm

Yes, it was Fleur Delacour.

She had come to England to work at Gringotts headquarters shortly after they separated in Egypt last summer.

To use the words in the letter Gabrielle had sent to Evan, her sister was in love!

Fleur and Bill fell in love at first sight. She had planned to have some fun after graduation, travel around the world, and then return to Paris to find a job. Now, because of Bill, she came to Gringotts last October.

Since Zoser’s incident, Bill had ...

Chapter 1243: Gifts and Cats

"Does she do this often? Bringing food home?" asked Evan.

"No, my aunt and uncle don't like having dead mice in the house. One of the conditions they agreed to let me keep Hedwig and let her out for fresh air at night was that she mustn't bring back things like this," said Harry, putting on his pajamas. “She must really like you. I’ve never seen Hedwig bring a gift to anyone else."

"Really? This gift is such a surprise."

Evan felt like he hadn’t had much contact with H...

Chapter 1242: Fred and George's Room

The change in appearance was quite a profound subject in the field of Transfiguration, far more difficult than transforming oneself into an animal.

Generally speaking, only a Metamorphmagus could do this at will. If one wanted to perfectly transform into another person, they would need to use Polyjuice Potion. Additionally, there was a type of transformation potion in alchemy that could randomly change the appearance of the person drinking it.

However, the effect of this potion wa...

Chapter 1241: Verification

The new office, with its long name — The Office for the Detection and Confiscation of Counterfeit Defensive Spells and Protective Objects — could inspect and manage all magic items, making it much more important than Mr. Weasley's previous office. Almost everything owned by wizards could be included under its jurisdiction

"What does this office do?" Hermione asked with interest.

"Well, you see, in all the panic about You-Know-Who, odd things have been cropping up for sale ever...

Chapter 1240: Promotion and New Office

Despite the lateness of the hour, Mrs. Weasley was not alone.

A young witch with a pale, heart-shaped face and mousy brown hair was sitting at the table clutching a large mug between her hands.

"Hello, Professor," said Tonks hastily. "Wotcher, you three little ones."

"Hi, Tonks." The three greeted her.

To be honest, Tonks looked terrible.

She looked drawn, even a little sick, and there was something forced in her smile.

Certainly her appearance was less col...

Chapter 1239: Private Conversation

“I had to insist multiple times before Rufus agreed not to send Aurors into the Burrow,” Dumbledore continued. “So, until the end of the summer holiday, I hope you all will stay here, even for Arthur and Molly’s sake. That includes you too, Evan. I know you have many things to do, but do not leave this house."

"No problem," said Evan. "I don't have any other plans before returning to Hogwarts."

"Very well," said Dumbledore. "In a few days, you can go to Diagon Alley to pur...

Chapter 1238: Return to the Burrow

"Horace is not a supporter of the pure-blood theory. What he said was probably just an inappropriate metaphor," said Dumbledore. "As he said, Harry, your mother was one of his favorite students when she was in school."

Slughorn had mentioned Lily many times, and Harry tried to imagine what his mother had been like when she was young.

"I have to say 'one of' because Horace had many favorite students," Dumbledore continued. "He likes the company of the famous, the successful, and th...

Chapter 1237: Agree

Upon hearing Voldemort's name, Slughorn gave a shudder.

"Why would He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named do this?" he asked hesitantly.

"There is a magic in the Slytherin vampire clan that will make Voldemort even more powerful," said Evan. "He plans to use this magic. If successful, no one will be able to stand against him."

"How could there be such magic?" said Slughorn incredulously. "What is it?"

"Similar to the Dark magic that transforms the body and soul, but more evil..." 2024-09-17 20:57:49 +0000 UTC View Post

Chapter 1236: Spider's Web

Slughorn seemed to have a strong obsession with teaching and grooming talented wizards.

"Sirius was a very talented boy. He was a big pal of your father’s at school, always inseparable. They were the two best students in their year," he said. "The whole Black family had been in my House, but Sirius ended up in Gryffindor! Shame — I got his brother, Regulus, when he came along, but I’d have liked the set.”

Slughorn sounded like an enthusiastic collector who had been outbid ...

Chapter 1235: It Usually Goes in Families

"Ingenious," said Dumbledore appreciatively. "But doesn’t it sound a rather tiring existence for a broken-down old buffer in search of a quiet life, Horace? Now, if you were to return to Hogwarts..."

"If you're going to tell me my life would be more peaceful at that pestilential school, you can save your breath, Albus! I might have been hiding, but I don't want to be abused. Some funny rumors have reached me since the story of Dolores Umbridge came out! If that's how you treat teacher...

Chapter 1234: Persuasion

"For old time’s sake..." Slughorn said softly.

His large round eyes scrutinized Evan, Harry, Hermione, and the lightening-shaped scar on Harry's forehead.

"Oh, the past is always worth remembering," he squinted and took three deep breaths. "Albus, who are these three?"

"Harry Potter, Evan Mason, Hermione Granger … you should have heard of their names." Dumbledore made the introduction, and then pointed to Slughorn. "Children, this is an old friend and colleague of mine, ...

Chapter 1233: Part Cat

In the dim light, Dumbledore pushed open the gate and walked swiftly and silently up the garden path, Evan, Harry and Hermione at his heels, then pushed the front door very slowly, his wand raised and at the ready.

"Lumos!"

Dumbledore’s wand tip ignited, casting its light up a narrow hallway. To the left, another door stood open.

Holding his illuminated wand aloft, Dumbledore walked into the sitting room with the others behind him.

A scene of total devastation met th...

Chapter 1232: A Magical Accident

Seeing that Harry was looking at him, Evan briefly recounted his experience in the Ruins of Amun Ra.

Dumbledore occasionally interrupted, asking about topics he was interested in, mainly regarding the Egyptian gods.

Harry, like Hermione, was very interested in Ramses II and was amazed that Evan was able to meet the pharaoh himself.

"Ah, Egypt — those fascinating ancient ruins, the astonishing power, and that lost history. There is much to learn from them," Dumbledore remar...

Chapter 1231: Horace Slughorn

Dumbledore was supposed to pick up Evan and Hermione at around eleven thirty p.m., which, honestly, was too late!

Moreover, it was easy to let one's mind wander.

Evan had to explain to his mother repeatedly that the headmaster was very busy and had a lot of things to do, and that he could only find time to pick them up in the evening. He comforted her not to think too much, and that nothing would happen to him and Hermione, so she didn't need to come out to see them off.

But...

Chapter 1230: Departure

Harry nodded in agreement. Dudley was raised like a pig, and he should be thankful he did not receive the same treatment...

Aunt Petunia and Uncle Vernon were furious at what Dumbledore said, and clearly hadn't realized the problem yet.

Their baby Dudley was now no different from a pig, except for a tail.

Or perhaps they had realized it, but hadn’t considered it to the extent of calling it abuse.

If even this didn't count as abuse, then there was no worse abuse imagi...

Chapter 1229: Conversation and Cruelty

"Well then, shall we assume that you have invited me into your sitting room?" said Dumbledore.

He didn't get an answer, but he was obviously very good at dealing with the current situation and had already made his way to the sitting room.

Harry jumped hastily the last few stairs and followed Dumbledore, who had settled himself in the armchair nearest to the fire and was taking in the surroundings with an expression of benign interest. He looked quite extraordinarily out of place.<...

Chapter 1228: Dumbledore's Visit

Harry returned to his room and checked his trunk once more. After confirming that nothing was missing, he began to wait anxiously.

Time seemed to slow down all of a sudden. He sat beside his bedroom window, which had a reasonable view of both ends of Privet Drive.

He picked up the leaflet and forced himself to read it.

But this was difficult to do, and he couldn't help but look up and glance out the window every few minutes.

It was almost time; but where was Dumbledore...

Chapter 1227: Harry's Summer Vacation

Harry finally went downstairs to tell his aunt and uncle the news only an hour before Dumbledore arrived.

As he expected, after a brief shock, they immediately began to complain. Aunt Petunia began to look out the window in panic, and Uncle Vernon loudly grumbled about how no one would come visiting at eleven o'clock at night, and whether wizards were like owls that didn’t need to sleep.

Harry didn't explain. He walked back to his room, feeling relieved. After all, he was finall...

Chapter 1226: A Completely Different Summer Vacation

Evan and Hermione discussed the current situation for a while and gained some understanding of the situation regarding the Ruins of Amun Ra.

All these things were written in the newspapers. Hermione brought all the copies of the Daily Prophet and Hogwarts Magic from the past two months to Evan and piled them up into a small mountain. Affected by the previous false reports, the Daily Prophet seemed to feel it could not compete with Hogwarts Magic in re...

Chapter 1225: The Situation

“Alright, Hermione, I did come back safe!" Evan said. "The things I did, actually..."

He wanted to say they weren’t dangerous at all, but whether it was going back to the time of Ramses II, fighting Horus, dealing with the demon in the Chamber of the Obelisks, the Raven’s Claw’s schemes, or confronting the ancient Egyptian gods and activating the weapon, it seemed none of it was related to safety.

It must be admitted that Evan had faced a lot of dangerous situations in the...

Chapter 1224: The Beginning of Ravenclaw's Treasure Chapter

Boom!!!

The "giant" Evan fell heavily from the sky and landed in the desert, leaving a huge mark and raising a vast amount of yellow sand.

"Hiss … that hurts." Evan's body was shrinking rapidly and soon returned to its usual size.

Perhaps because he had been in the abyss for too long and had become accustomed to the darkness, the dazzling sunlight in the desert made him feel uncomfortable.

He squinted his eyes and looked around. He was the only one around an...

Chapter 1223: Final Chapter of the Ruins of Amun Ra

Evan tightly grasped the rope with his left hand, using the momentum of his fall to swing towards the end of the staircase.

He raised his wand and shot out three beams of light to dispel the darkness around him.

In front of Evan was a huge monster that was beyond imagination.

It looked like a giant wheel or something like that.

The main body was a rustic, heavy bronze color, with many pointer-like shafts inside. Each about a hundred feet wide, engraved with complex run...

Chapter 1222: The Weapon

At first Evan thought it was a will-o'-the-wisp, but this was the prison of the gods—how could there be a will-o'-the-wisp here?

When the glowing ball drew closer, he finally saw it was a cat—a very skinny cat, so thin that it was almost skeletal.

Its ears and eyes were surprisingly large, disproportionately large.

Its body was dark green and had no substance, like a ghost.

A long, thin scar ran from top to bottom across most of its face, crossing over its right ey...

Chapter 1221: Entering the Abyss

Even in the modern world, the strong were always respected in the Wizarding community. After experiencing it firsthand, the wizards became increasingly aware of how powerful Evan truly was.

At this moment, the clarity with which they understood the nature of power, the deep yearning they felt for life, was matched only by the profound respect they had for Evan.

The issue of being too young had been automatically ignored by everyone!

In the eyes of the thousands of wizards wa...

Chapter 1220: Legendary Battle

Was it okay to daydream?

There was no rule saying he couldn’t, and there was no regulation that said he couldn't daydream during a battle.

But if anyone else found out that Evan was zoning out at such a critical moment, they'd definitely kill him...

So, he still had to keep a low profile!

He was fighting the demon, fighting very hard, using his own magic to counter its power.

In fact, Evan just got distracted for a moment before snapping back to reality.

...

Chapter 1219: Habitual Daydreaming

The wizards were abuzz with chatter. Those familiar with Evan's past were hopeful, expecting that he might bring about a miracle.

But in reality, most of the wizards did not have high expectations of him.

The main reason was that Evan was just too young!

So many adult wizards couldn't do anything to this demon, so what could a fifteen-year-old underage wizard do?

The idea that he might cast a powerful spell and defeat a scorpion demon hundreds of feet long seemed absur...

Chapter 1218: I Want to Keep a Low Profile

"Scorpion King!" Rawya murmured, "This is a monster. It actually exists!"

Apart from Evan, the other wizards present had probably never seen such a terrifying monster before. They were all trembling uncontrollably.

The wizards who had just been shouting for battle were now silent!

If their opponent were human, even if it were Voldemort, someone might have the courage to fight. But in the face of such an unimaginable demon, an invincible giant scorpion, surrender seemed to be...
