Chapter 919: Warning of the Sorting Hat

Looking in the direction she was pointing to, everyone's eyes lit first upon Professor Dumbledore.

Professor Dumbledore was sitting in his high-backed golden chair at the center of the long staff table, wearing deep-purple robes scattered with silvery stars and a matching hat. His head was inclined toward the woman sitting next to him, who was talking into his ear.

They looked very close, and people who didn’t know the reality might think their relationship was really good.

Chapter 918: Goodwill from Slytherins

"Well, see you at school later!" Evan waved his hand and looked at Astoria's expression. Then he thought of something and added, "By the way, if you like to read Hogwarts Magic, I can give you a copy of each issue. And if you have any good articles, you can also contribute in the paper."

"I'll think about it, thank you!" said Astoria, smiling at Evan and hurriedly running away.

Literary and artistic young men were always popular with girls, and Astoria obviously had some ...

Chapter 917: The Girl and the Thestrals

From the clothes she was wearing, it could be seen that she should be a member of an old pure-blood wizarding family.

For these wizarding families, Evan’s writings were completely forbidden. There were many articles that they didn’t like to read or damaged their interests, and some overbearing families didn’t even allow their children to touch them.

Evan was not surprised at this, but it was quite unusual for a Slytherin student to take the initiative to read such writings.<...

Chapter 916: The girl in the Carriage

"Evan, I heard that you had a fight with a Slytherin student?" said Colin excitedly. "It's spread all over the world. Everyone is talking about it. They said you’ve become the Head Boy. You’ve also severely taught a Slytherin seventh-year a lesson and turned him into a furry monster. It can’t be true, can it? It’s like a dream."

"Most of it is true, but I definitely didn't turn Gleeson into a furry monster."

For the rest of the journey, no one came to visit again. Evan tol...

Chapter 915: The Hobgoblins

The magazine had often published some sensational jokes, and no one took it seriously.

However, it was good to have a look at it as a joke or a reading material to pass the time. Mr. Lovegood had many very strange ideas.

Evan continued to look at the magazine, and after the Cornelius 'Goblin-Crusher' Fudge article was a report about the vampire Caresius.

He is now the most wanted criminal in the Ministry of Magic, but some wizards don't think so, and don't even recognize the...

Chapter 914: The Goblin-Crusher

Neville dumped the toad into Harry’s lap and took a quill from his schoolbag.

Harry, Luna, and Ginny all watched Neville’s actions. He held the Mimbulus mimbletonia up to his eyes, his tongue between his teeth, chose his spot, and gave the plant a sharp prod with the tip of his quill.

The next second, liquid squirted from every boil on the Mimbulus mimbletonia, thick, stinking, dark-green jets of it; they hit the ceiling, the windows of the compartment, and spattered Luna Love...

Chapter 913: The Mimbulus Mimbletonia

While Evan was using Ginny’s modified Bat-Bogey Hex, Ginny and Harry were dragging heavy trunks, struggling off down the corridor, while peering through the glass-paneled doors into the compartments they passed, which were already full.

"Neville said that he would come up first to save us places," said Ginny. "Where did he go?"

"I don't know." Harry also hoped to get into any compartment, instead of going on like this.

He could not help noticing that a lot of people stared...

Chapter 912: The Bat-Bogey Hex

The Head Boy had the right to dismiss and replace the prefect, but no one had ever used it.

If Gleeson got sacked like this, Evan would set another precedent, and Gleeson would be a laughingstock.

What would people say about him in the future, the first prefect to be dismissed from the post because of his stupidity?!

Sure enough, Gleeson's face flushed suddenly when he heard Evan's words, and he became extremely excited.

"I challenge you to a duel, Mason!" he yelled an...

Chapter 911: The Conflict

The Dark Lord had returned, and this phenomenon was about to be changed.

During the summer vacation, Malfoy had seen Voldemort with his own eyes, which made him excited and ecstatic.

He could feel the strong power in the Dark Lord, and every move he made was accompanied by a chilling sense of dread and fear.

As long as under Voldemort’s leadership, pure-blood wizarding families could regain their former glory and restore their supremacy.

At that time, those Mudbloods...

Chapter 910: The Prefects’ Carriage

The train was gathering still more speed, so that the houses outside the window flashed past and they swayed where they stood.

"What does the Head Boy do?" Harry asked curiously.

"Professor McGonagall told me last night that it’s mainly to maintain order, manage the prefects, participate in the formulation of specific school policies, plan activities, and so on. In fact, there’s not much specific work," said Evan.

In his opinion, most things could be handled by the prefe...

Chapter 909: The Disguise and the Hogwarts Express

Everyone left their luggage to Moody, who helped to take them to the station. When the door slammed behind them, and Mrs. Black’s screeches were cut off instantly, everyone felt that their ears were immediately cleaned and relaxed a lot, and they were glad to finally leave the place.

In the weak September sunlight, they went down the stone steps of number twelve, which vanished the moment they reached the pavement!

"Where’s Tonks?" Harry asked. "Why don't I see her?"

In ...

Chapter 908: Departure to School

Even after Ginny came back, Evan didn't leave.

He had turned into a kitten lying in Hermione's arms, quietly accompanying her, just like what had happened on the first night here.

Every last night before the start of the new term seemed to be a sleepless night, and so was this evening.

Harry returned to the dark room alone, and when he closed his bedroom door behind him, he had to admit that he couldn't think Mrs. Weasley silly, because he’d almost thought the same.

...

Chapter 907: The Desire to Protect

The rotten, horrible body full of gullies appeared in front of Evan, getting bigger and bigger, and vanished in a puff of smoke in the blink of an eye.

A dark creature of the Boggart's level couldn't transform into the evil god. Even if without Evan's spell, it would be finished. However, when the huge body of the "evil god" disappeared, it still shook the whole house slightly.

"What was the last monster that appeared?" Hermione asked in a low voice. There was no other sound but M...

Chapter 906: The Mind and the Boggart

Once the war started, it was inevitable that many people would die.

Evan raised his head and looked at the room full of talking and laughter, but he couldn’t say how many people would survive.

Even if he were as strong as Dumbledore, he couldn't protect everyone. He could only ensure Hermione’s safety...

This was his bottom line and something that he had to do with his best.

Evan turned his head and saw Hermione looking at him. He held her right hand, and his heart...

Chapter 905: The Deal and the Old Photo of the Order of the Phoenix

“Like what?” said Ginny, who was choosing a baked potato, and she scanned Evan from time to time.

“Like the ability to behave myself,” said Tonks, and Ginny laughed.

Hermione looked as though she did not know whether to smile or not and compromised by taking an extra large gulp of butterbeer and choking on it.

Evan quickly thumped her on the back to help her smooth her breath.

Across the table, Harry and Ron were also staring at Evan’s Head Boy badge.

I...

Chapter 904: The Head Boy

"Congratulations, Evan!"

"That’s amazing!"

"It's incredible, like a dream."

"I knew it, that’s Evan, nothing is impossible with him."

Evan Looked up and saw everyone around him smiling. Hermione even showed more happiness than him.

Everyone was surprised at first that he could become the Head Boy, and then became thrilled.

"The Head Boy is appointed from all the male students at Hogwarts. Only the best wizard can become a Head Boy. There’s no age limi...

Chapter 903: So It Was

Pent-up emotions were spreading, and curiosity was accumulating.

As the long time passed slowly, everyone came to accept the fact that Ron had become a prefect.

After the initial shock, Ron also began to get used to the change of identity brought by the prefect.

As Percy once did, he began to show off his prefect badge, and kept moving it around, first placing it on his bedside table, then putting it into his jeans pocket, then taking it out and laying it on his folded robes...

Chapter 901: Changes Brought About by Becoming a Prefect

Ron originally wanted a broom, but Evan had said that everyone would have one.

He’d seen Hermione and Ginny’s design drawings. The new broom they made was much larger and bulkier than the mainstream brooms on the market. It seemed not very practical, but Evan had assured them that after incorporating the new design concepts, it wouldn't be much slower than a Firebolt.

Since that was the case, he could ask his Mum to buy another gift for him, certainly not too expensive, but he...

Chapter 902: The Campus Bully

When the door closed again and it was confirmed that there were no other sounds around, Harry slowly shook his head.

He returned slowly to his bed and sank onto it, gazing unseeingly at the foot of the wardrobe.

In fact, he had forgotten completely about prefects being chosen in the fifth year. He had been too anxious about the possibility of being expelled to spare a thought for the fact that badges must be winging their way toward certain people. But if he had remembered … if ...

Chapter 900: Great News

At that moment, the door behind Evan and Hermione opened a little wider.

Mrs. Weasley backed into the room with a smile on her face, carrying a pile of freshly laundered robes.

"Oh my God, I can't believe it. I heard from Arthur. He sent an owl specially. What just happened is really great news!" she said excitedly, with a slight tremor. "How could they do that? I heard that Dumbledore fought for it, and the Board of Governors would agree. Minerva will come over to announce it. We...

Chapter 899: Prefect Ron

The Prefect was the end of Hogwarts' special management system, and only students in the fifth year or above could serve.

As the name suggested, the prefects were the top administrators of their respective year at the school.

But at Hogwarts, the power of the prefect was much greater, and it was not just about managing students in his own year.

One male and one female student were chosen from each House in their fifth year to act as prefects. They would continue to be prefec...

Chapter 897: The War Dance

If Fudge had been hit by the Imperius Curse, perhaps he would have acted more intelligently instead of being so foolish.

His performance at the hearing today was enough to prove that he was not under the Imperius Curse; otherwise a giant would have been needed to control him.

But thanks to him, the hearing that the Ministry of Magic had been preparing for so long became a joke.

“Don’t think it hadn’t occurred to us, Harry,” muttered Mr. Weasley in a voice Evan and Ha...

Chapter 898: The Prefect

“I don’t think he’ll be able to, Ron,” said Mrs. Weasley, setting a huge plate of roast chicken down in front of Harry. “He’s really very busy at the moment, but Arthur told me Kingsley was coming tonight. Remus and others are also here, we can have a small celebration."

Busyness was still the norm of the Order of the Phoenix, and in the next few days, everyone who came here would be in a hurry.

Even Bill had been assigned a task and had no way to help make the broom.<...

Chapter 896: A Good-faith Advice

"Alarmist!" Lucius approached Evan, and his lips moved slightly.

His face showed an uncontrollable fleeting flash of panic, and then returned to the previous indifference.

"Really? You think so?" said Evan calmly, everything was under his control. "It’s just a good-faith piece of advice, Mr. Malfoy. Time will tell, but I’m afraid it’ll be too late by then..."

This time, Lucius didn't speak anymore, his gray eyes fixed on Evan.

He still didn't understand the deepe...

Chapter 895: Adding Trouble

It was a pity that this scene could not be filmed; otherwise it would definitely be the front page of tomorrow.

Evan was considering assigning a dedicated photographer to Rita Skeeter, just as she had done before. A good photo could be the finishing touch of a report and more easily attract readers' attention.

Just give her an extra sum of Gold Galleons every month, and Rita must have a suitable candidate in mind.

Fudge and Umbridge left in a hurry, and Rita Skeeter relentle...

Chapter 894: The Fleeing Fudge

"That's the Ministry’s business," said Fudge in a strange voice, as though there was something in his mouth.

Looking at his expression, he was obviously angry, and it seemed that he himself was disappointed with his performance.

He slumped in his chair, looking at Dumbledore fiercely, but he could not conceal his frustration.

If it weren't for the many people watching, if it weren't for his impossibility to beat Dumbledore, if it weren't for his lack of courage and IQ, he ...

Chapter 893: Win the Lawsuit

"I … no … I'm not..."

Fudge looked as nauseous as though he had eaten a fly. Of course he couldn't pursue this matter.

Accusing Evan of using magic in the Quidditch World Cup finals was like holding the Ministry of Magic accountable.

Evan had helped the Ministry of Magic in the World Cup. In the past year, it had taken a lot of hard work and effort for them to get the eyes of wizards and witches around the world off the matter. Let alone re-investigate Evan’s responsib...

Chapter 892: A One-sided Trial

As soon as Evan spoke, Umbridge moved uneasily again.

"Murder?" said Fudge gruffly. "This is nonsense, it sounds ridiculous. You have made up too many stories in the past few years, from the Basilisk to You-Know-Who, and now someone in the Ministry is attempting to kill Harry Potter?"

"But it's very likely that it's a fact, Mr. Minister," said Evan, "Just look it up and you’ll know that if someone has ordered the Dementors, they will definitely leave clues, and there are not man...

Chapter 891: Conspiracy and Murder

Unlike the Squibs that did not have magic powers, the Obscurials had a stronger ability to cast spells.

However, due to various reasons, their magic talents had not been properly exploited and had to be suppressed in their bodies.

This situation had been very common before schools of wizardry were established. Even now, it was a common phenomenon in Asia. Those Schools of Witchcraft and Wizardry that paid attention to blood inheritance and fortunate opportunities would not easily ...

Chapter 890: The Squib

Evan had reported the details of the incident, and he believed that everyone present had read the report.

However, judging from their current expressions, they should not have believed it.

Even Madam Bones, who had been in their favor all the time, raised her thick eyebrows so that her monocle looked in danger of falling out.

In the early days of Voldemort's power, the Bones family was one of the most powerful pure blood wizard families. Like the Weasleys, they were willing ...
