Chapter 1097: The Secret of the Vampires

Dumbledore and Grindelwald, two people who were destined to be together, ended up turning against each other.

But they were still friends, they still cared about each other, and they were still the one who understood the other best.

Although they might not have seen each other or spoken to each other for nearly a hundred years, this special relationship had never changed.

Because of the encounter when they were young, the incomprehensible relationship started and had continu...

Chapter 1096: Dumbledore and Grindelwald

"That was the most painful day for me. After Ariana fell to the ground, the three of us stopped and looked at everything in disbelief," said Dumbledore in a sad tone. "Later, Grindelwald fled, without hesitation, as anyone but I could have predicted. He vanished, with his plans for seizing power, and his schemes for Muggle torture, and his dreams for the Deathly Hallows, dreams in which I had encouraged him and helped him. Ultimately, I was left to bury my sister, and learn to live with my gu...

Chapter 1095: The Only Weakness

Such a tragic experience was enough to crush anyone.

Especially for a gifted wizard like Dumbledore, his childhood was not much happier than that of Tom Riddle.

He had plenty of reasons to hate Muggles, and at the same time, he had enough power, conditions, and potential to become an evil Dark wizard.

Not to mention, he was surrounded by many opportunists.

These people advocated for pure-blood, believing that the glory of bloodline and Wizarding glory needed to be esta...

Chapter 1094: Dumbledore's Past

'For the Greater Good!'

This sentence seemed very reasonable and profound, but what exactly was the Greater Good?!

No one could answer that; for different people, at different times, the greater good meant different things.

For Dumbledore in his early years, the greater good was to prove his talents; exalting the glory of the Wizarding World.

For the present Dumbledore, the greater good was to maintain the peace of the Wizarding World and repent for h...

Chapter 1093: For the Greater Good

Like Azkaban, there was very little information about Nurmengard in the Wizarding World, and some were only rumors.

Among these rumors, the most frightening and at the same time the most mythical was that of the guards of Nurmengard.

Some people said that those guards, like the Dementors in Azkaban, were nightmare monsters from the deepest depths of hell, and no one could resist them.

Others said that Nurmengard's guards were dreadful curses, incarnations of Death himself. 2024-04-27 19:27:24 +0000 UTC View Post

Chapter 1092: Nurmengard

In the current timeline, Evan returned to Hogwarts a thousand years ago in the first year and met Slytherin.

But by then, it had been over half a century since Tom Riddle acquired the ring in this small shack and killed his father.

Before Evan returned to a thousand years ago, Slytherin did not know about Voldemort's appearance, so naturally he would not leave any magic behind.

Therefore, a part of Tom Riddle's soul would not be split and saved. This was past history. But af...

Chapter 1091: Terrifying Time Magic

The Resurrection Stone had the magical power to summon the dead back to this world. But the resurrected were not in the form of souls, nor memories, nor were they truly resurrected beings.

They took on a unique form, capable of awakening the deepest sorrow in the soul of the person using the Resurrection Stone.

Unable to make contact with the dead, this grief would eventually lead the person to commit suicide.

Therefore, since ancient times, the Resurrection Stone had been a...

Chapter 1090: The Dream of the Desperate

"The power of those few drops of blood is about to be exhausted, Professor, I am waiting for your decision," said Riddle confidently, seeming to have determined what Dumbledore would do. "Oh, by the way, I hope that when you take the ring, you can take the photo of my parents with you. It is the only one left and is very commemorative."

He bowed to Dumbledore, his body like mist. It shook again and then vanished from the air.

"Quite impressive, isn't he?" Dumbledore murmured, walk...

Chapter 1089: Fostering Again

Dumbledore seemed to be satisfied with Riddle's answer, which was really strange. What could there possibly be to be satisfied about?!

Although there might be other reasons behind it, wasn't the idea of wanting to kill one's own father with one's own hands very dangerous?

Even if Riddle in front of him didn't do anything in the end, just having such a thought made him very dangerous and evil.

Evan was a bit puzzled, and so was Riddle.

Although still expressionless, he ...

Chapter 1088: Special Horcrux

"Is it the magic left by Salazar Slytherin?"

An idea flashed in Evan’s mind, and clues appeared quickly.

Undoubtedly, Salazar Slytherin had once possessed the ring and the Resurrection Stone.

He was also very proficient in the method of making Horcruxes, a magic created by Herpo the Foul.

Considering Slytherin's experience, it could be said that no one in the world understood this magic better than Herpo himself.

Because of Evan, Salazar Slytherin already knew ...

Chapter 1087: The Tale of the Three Brothers

Speaking of this, Riddle suddenly paused.

He seemed hesitant, unsure whether to reveal what happened next, as it involved his biggest secret. But the situation before him clearly told him that he had no other choice.

"Then, he asked for my name," Riddle continued after a few seconds. "The guy who claimed himself to be Death, he knew that I was planning to make Horcruxes. I never mentioned it to him, but he seemed to read my mind, and he told me that he would fulfill my wish..." 2024-04-21 06:23:29 +0000 UTC View Post

Chapter 1086: Death's Reward

"Did you feel sadness for your mother?" Evan asked, looking at him in surprise. Was this still the Voldemort he knew?

"No, it was just her foolishness that made me sad."

Even though he said that, Riddle had cried after learning about his parents' past, which in itself said a lot.

He felt sad for Merope's experience. That might be the human part of him, the only soft place in his heart.

After being abandoned by Tom Riddle Senior, Merope traveled to London alone.

Chapter 1085: Love

Just like Voldemort, Tom Riddle in front of him firmly believed that he would not fail and that he was invincible.

Evan didn't know how to evaluate this kind of mysterious confidence. It could only be said to be a manifestation of arrogance and conceit.

Voldemort failed in the end and had nothing. He couldn't match Dumbledore at all.

History had proven this point countless times, but he himself had never been willing to admit it.

"Professor, you do not understand any o...

Chapter 1084: I am Voldemort

Beside the two of them, Dumbledore completely calmed down, no longer as sorrowful as before.

His eyes were closed, but he seemed to have recovered and might wake up at any moment.

Perhaps he had already recovered and was listening to the conversation between the two people.

Evan looked at Dumbledore and then at Tom Riddle. After a moment of silence, he sighed softly.

"I really don't understand the World of Death, but I know that you still didn't tell the truth," said E...

Chapter 1083: The World of Death

Tom Riddle’s milky white body swayed; and the doubts in Evan’s heart became stronger.

He actually said that when he was created, he didn't know the specific method of making a Horcrux or how to split a soul. So how did he come out?

But one thing was certain, this Horcrux was weird.

"Professor Slughorn liked me very much, he gave me a lot of privileges and help, but... well, let's talk about the Horcrux," said Riddle, cautiously avoiding Gryffindor’s sword aimed at him,...

Chapter 1082: Preliminary Communication

"Stop, stop, STOP!" Tom Riddle shouted, waving his hands vigorously, looking at Evan angrily. "Damn it, you kid, can't you put down that stupid Sword of Gryffindor, would you like to have a few words with me?"

"I can't see any point in communicating with the most dangerous Dark Wizard in history," said Evan cautiously.

"Oh, is that how the Wizarding world sees me now?" Riddle shrugged it off, with a hint of self-satisfaction. "So, I eventually became a powerful Dark Wizard? Are pe...

Chapter 1081: Fifteen-year-old Tom Riddle

Like the dreadful Resurrection Stone, Voldemort's tears were nothing but crocodile tears, false compassion!

This is an old proverb; well known that crocodiles possess both a fierce and brutal aspect as well as a cunning and deceitful one.

When they spy their prey, be it humans, animals, or fish, they often shed tears, pretending to be sympathetic, lulling you into a false sense of security, making you lose vigilance against their sudden attack, and thus getting devoured ferociousl...

Chapter 1080: Voldemort's Tears

In addition to the torn marks on the photo, you could clearly see that there were also some tear stains on it.

You could imagine the scene when the young Riddle first found this photo of his parents.

He looked at it, filled with sadness, and after shedding his last tear, filled with nothing but hatred, he ruthlessly tore the photo into pieces.

He vowed to sever ties with his irresponsible parents, but he couldn't resist piecing the photo back together.

These were Evan'...

Chapter 1079: The Last Trace of Love

This wardrobe had stood the test of time and had not turned into dust like other items in the house.

But it was in very bad condition. The cabinet door on the left was open, the one on the right was completely missing, and the internal compartments were filled with thick dust.

On the dust were some shards of glass and a lot of what looked like some kind of animal bones.

It should be snake bones; that was what Evan thought, they were dark and arranged in a certain pattern. 2024-04-13 00:58:57 +0000 UTC View Post

Chapter 1078: Four Items

Along the dirt lane that they had once walked in Ogden’s memory, Evan and Dumbledore walked towards the trees next to the valley.

Different from the newly renovated main road, the dirt lane was still winding, full of potholes and rocks, and the hedgerows on both sides had become taller and denser.

They grew irregularly, filling up everything around them, and even covering the original lane.

Nearly half a hundred years had passed, but there was still not much change here. T...

Chapter 1077: Departure

"When he summoned these people, did it happen under your eyes, professor?"

"Yes, right under my eyes!"

Evan sighed again. Tom Riddle during his student days was truly terrifying. Forming the D.A. (Dumbledore's Army) was already not easy for him and his friends, but look at what they had been doing when they were students. Under Dumbledore's eyes, a dark force formed, recruiting Death Eaters to build a real army.

From this perspective, Evan couldn't compare to him.

In f...

Chapter 1076: Not Comparable

What Voldemort could do easily, it was simply impossible for Evan to do it.

Just thinking about it, a fifteen-year-old boy killed his father and grandparents with his own hands and blamed his uncle. How much hatred did that require?

Even if Evan was given immense power, he could never become the third Dark Lord. Perhaps he could become a Dark wizard, but he wouldn't be as evil as Voldemort.

Grindelwald, the first Dark Lord in modern times, was no better than Voldemort. Evan ...

Chapter 1075: Terrifying Voldemort

"The next conversation is completed in Parseltongue," said Dumbledore, snapping his fingers, and a layer of white ripples quickly spread. "I later found a way to understand what they were saying. Everything you hear next is language I've translated."

Evan did not speak, but was just thinking; could extracted memories be modified as well?

Even though this memory was not Dumbledore's, there didn’t seem to be much of a problem.

The Headmaster's power was truly astonishing. Yo...

Chapter 1074: Voldemort's Secret

"I know … it should be a love potion!" said Evan, already clear about this. "They seemed to be two completely unrelated people. Without the help of magic, they wouldn't fall in love, let alone end up together."

"This is also a very important part of history. Unfortunately, we can't access the memories of the parties involved," said Dumbledore. "But it's not difficult to speculate that, as you said, Merope used the power of magic. Her magical powers did not appear to their best advanta...

Chapter 1073: Dumbledore’s Information

Evan glanced at Tom Riddle Senior on the horse. He was dressed in upper-class clothes, polite and very handsome. No wonder Merope was fascinated by him.

Growing up in such an environment, Riddle was no different from Prince Charming in fairy tales to her.

Unfortunately, she was neither a princess nor a Cinderella, but a witch herself.

In the eyes of Muggles, the evil witch, and what she had done later, were the same, and could be described as evil.

You could get a pers...

Chapter 1072: The End of Ogden's Memory

The locket was now around Evan’s neck. Compared with the one around Merope's neck, it had a little less gold.

Of course, this still did not affect its own value. What was truly valuable about it was that it could absorb excess magic power and feed it back.

This thing was not as simple as an ornament for proving identity. Slytherin had left extraordinary magic on it.

His unfortunate descendants did not discover this, nor could they.

"Mr. Gaunt, your daughter!" said Og...

Chapter 1071: Ring

Though that might be true, blaming everything on such a poor girl was evidently unfair.

Her father had kept her locked up at home, not allowing her to interact with outsiders, not even to go to Hogwarts.

Her only fate was to be abused, and then wait to marry her own brother, continuing this ancient, conservative, sinful pure-blood family.

No matter who it was, growing up in such an environment would twist the soul.

If it were Evan, he might have left this family long a...

Chapter 1070: The Beginning of All Evil

Then there was a rustle and a crack, and a man in rags dropped from the nearest tree, landing on his feet right in front of Ogden.

Ogden was startled and leapt backward so fast he stood on the tails of his frock coat and stumbled.

"Hiss!" The man standing before them made a strange, menacing sound.

He had thick hair so matted with dirt it could have been any color.

Several of his teeth were missing, and his eyes were small and dark and stared in opposite directions. 2024-03-31 11:49:43 +0000 UTC View Post

Chapter 1069: The Old House of the Gaunt Family

"A memory?" Evan raised his head and looked at Dumbledore. "Don't you know where that thing is?"

“Oh, yes, it's only speculation. So please pay close attention later, Evan. This is a very important memory," said Dumbledore. "I need you to firmly imprint what you see in your mind. It will provide you with the greatest help when needed."

"Alright … Well, who was Bob Ogden?"

"He was employed by the Department of Magical Law Enforcement," said Dumbledore softly. "He died som...

"He must be crazy. Who in his right mind would believe that Dumbledore saved the Death Eaters? It's utterly absurd," said Hermione, spreading out the Daily Prophet on the dining table in front of her. "Look at this article. It's full of nonsense."

On the front page of the Daily Prophet, Evan saw his own photo, and below was a brief introduction.

As usual, they portrayed Evan as a crazed lunatic, a supporter of Dumbledore, and extremely dangerous.

"Well, at least the Ministry...
