Such was the strength of Caresius, and it was enough to prove how powerful the ancient warlocks had been.
Obviously, no matter what treasures might be hidden in the ruins, he was not going to go in and find out.
From a rational point of view, his cautious view was absolutely correct.
In the face of powerful unknown forces beyond their ability, the best thing to do was to stay away from them instead of making random contact. Otherwise, they might not even see the...

On top of the endless swamp, Buckbeak flew forward for more than ten minutes.
The fog around was getting thicker and thicker, and there was a large area of obscurity where nothing was clear; even the sun was shaded.
In the terrible fog, eyes completely lost their function, as all they could see was hazy white, everywhere.
Evan could not see anything by now, but could only hear Buckbeak fluttering his wings.
Whoop, whoop, whoop…
It moved its wings m...

Hello everyone!
I just wanted to say thank you for your amazing support! Last month was the first in a while for me with my income rising. I would love to say thank you in the most eloquent of ways, but nothing I would say would come close to showing all the gratitude I hold for you!
Therefore, all I could think of is to continue working on making your experience reading this novel as good as I can!
Again, thank you so much. I love you all <3

Following the information he got from Hagrid, Evan directed Buckbeak to fly deep into the marsh.
They flew in the white mist and watched the ground closely.
Although the water and plants in this place were delicious, the creatures living in the Forest rarely came here.
Many parts of this swamp were bottomless and dangerous. It looked no different from the ordinary ground, but if accidentally caught up in it; one could only wait for death in a des...

In a few weeks, these Blast-Ended Skrewts started developing a kind of thick, grayish, shiny armor.
This armor was covered with hard thorns and gradually covered their whole body.
They looked like a cross between giant scorpions and elongated crabs that would emit liquid from its tail.
A flame explosion will push them a few yards in the opposite direction and burn the careless student.
Evan secretly tested that the skrewts’ magic resistance was very strong...

Finally, Evan accepted Hermione's proposal and agreed to become the president of the Society for the Promotion of Elfish Welfare.
Although it seemed almost impossible to succeed, on second thought, Evan seemed to have been doing the impossible and taking what seemed to most as foolish all the time.
Whether it was Voldemort or the evil spirits, it was much harder to defeat them than to defend the rights and interests of the house-elves.
If the results were to be ...

Now, there were only Evan and Hermione in the Common Room.
Hermione was still looking angry, and her eyes were a bit red. Obviously, Ron’s reaction was very irritating to her. Despite her usual strong character, in some cases, she was particularly vulnerable.
“Don't take it to heart, Hermione. Harry's right. Ron's just stressed out. He doesn't mean that." said Evan, patting Hermione gently on the shoulder. "You know, Malfoy's insult to his parents the other ...

"The three of you are here!" Seeing Harry and the others, Hermione's eyes lit up, "I've just finished!"
"So have I!" said Ron triumphantly, throwing down his quill.
Hermione sat down; laid the things she was carrying in an empty armchair, and pulled Evan’s predictions toward her.
"Not going to have a very good month, are you?" she said sardonically as Crookshanks curled up in her lap.
"You know, that’s how to deal with Professor Trelawney!" said Evan, ...

After cleaning his fingernails from the toad guts, Neville went back to sleep. He was exhausted this evening.
Evan continued to study the ancient magic script on the sofa in front of the fire, while Colin was doing his Transfiguration homework beside him.

On Wednesday, Evan and other third-year wizards learned runic scriptures in the first course of the Study of Ancient Runes class.
This is an extinct writing once circulated in northern Europe. Its study belongs to the entry-level “ancient magical text studies”, and it’s represented by black and white runes.
In the past, it had risen with the prosperity of medieval black magic in Europe.
It is said that a dark wizard would leave the specially arranged runes a...

Next, Hagrid told Evan a lot of things about breeding the Blast-Ended Skrewts.
They now needed to figure out what the Blast-Ended Skrewts liked to eat, and that was the main task of the Care of Magical Creatures class this term.
In the morning class, Hagrid asked everyone to try them out with ant eggs, frog livers and grass snake. But it seemed to be wrong. The Blast-Ended Skrewts didn’t not like to eat these things, and Hagrid changed the next classes’ assignments ...

"What do you think, Evan?! Harry, Ron and Hermione, they all liked them very much, they only just hatched!" said Hagrid proudly. "I thought about it. You’ll be able to raise them yourselves this year. We can make a big project out of it!"
From Harry's and Ron's sarcastic expression and tone earlier, Evan doubted that they would really like these Blast-Ended Skrewts.
The three of them must have said that just because they didn't want Hagrid to be sad.

It could be seen that Ron hated Malfoy terribly, and what happened just now was really excessive.
Ron had been in a bad mood recently because of his series of unpleasant experiences. Evan, Harry, and Hermione had to comfort him. Malfoy was punished anyway. He had been turned into a ferret, thrown high into the air to fall again and again on the stone floor, and he was not little irritated.
Not surprisingly, Malfoy should be acting better, at least for now.

"Harry, are you okay?" Evan hurried over.
"I'm fine, Ron's hurt pretty bad. Malfoy talked bad about his parents, he’s so angry!"
Evan, Harry and Hermione helped Ron up, and the poor fellow was completely knocked out by Goyle and Crabbe. They were both ruthless. Ron's face was black and blue, and his school robe was covered with footprints.
There was a silence born out of terror in the entrance hall, as everyone looked at Moody.
Goyle and Crabbe stood the...

Just as Evan and Caresius were negotiating the details of their cooperation, a dispute was taking place in the entrance hall on the ground floor.
Harry, Ron, and Hermione came out of the castle to the entrance hall, which was packed with people queuing for dinner.

"The monster you saw is indeed the fate that my family and I need to face, a fate that we cannot escape." Caresius said in Moody’s hoarse voice, "Against it, our ending has long been doomed, to death and destruction, that is. However, none of us is willing to lie down and die quietly; everyone wants to resist, even though it would probably futile. The only thing to be thankful for is that we don’t have to defeat or kill it."

After class, Evan and Colin went to the Great Hall for lunch.
Evan had made up his mind to talk to Caresius who was disguising as Moody. After what happened this morning, he could no longer pretend in front of Evan.
By the second day of his arrival, he had already made so much noise. As powerful as he was, Caresius wasn’t that much of a good actor, to say the least.
They just came to the second floor when they saw Moody limping out of the classroom.

The next lesson was Transfiguration. Although everyone was immersed in what had just happened and wanted to discuss Moody's practice, the three Unforgivable Curses, and Evan’s victory over Moody, but no one dared to do that in the Transfiguration class.

She reviewed everyone's summer homework and checked on how much they remembered of the Transfiguratio...

In class, Moody watched as Evan stood still, believing that his Imperius Curse had succeeded. He had successfully controlled Evan and could command him to do anything. He didn’t even feel resistance.
Everything went extraordinarily smoothly; his heart was filled with ecstasy and he could not even believe it.
He had thought that Evan’s would struggle against his invasion; he had thought that he would not succeed without exerting all his strength.

"Now, if there's no counter-curse, why am I showing you this? Because you've got to know it; you've got to appreciate what the worst is. You don't want to find yourself in a situation where you're facing it. CONSTANT VIGILANCE!" he roared, and the whole class jumped again.

All third-year students seemed to realize that Evan knew so much.
In the past, they only knew that Evan was very strong, but they never had a clear idea about the extent of his knowledge and power.
Young wizards in Hogwarts generally believed that he was just ahead of his peers, but still weaker than the senior students.
It wasn't until the recent World Cup that everyone realized that Evan was strong enough to shake the wizarding world.
In today's class, Eva...

The storm had blown itself out by the following morning, though the ceiling in the Great Hall was still gloomy.
Heavy clouds of pewter gray swirled overhead as Evan and Colin arrived to the Great Hall.
Harry, Ron, and Hermione were examining their new course schedules at breakfast.
Of course, it was mainly Hermione who talked while Harry and Ron were both listening.
A few seats along, Fred, George, and Lee Jordan were discussing magical methods of ag...

Yes, it was a good idea to use the Imperius Curse openly and honestly on students. No one could guarantee that fake Moody would not use it to control a student.
Even if he dared not do such a thing under Dumbledore's nose, there should be no problem with a couple of Legilimency spells.
This magic permitted the caster see memories, emotions and thoughts of the victim. It was strictly controlled by the Ministry of Magic and was not allowed to be used.

In a sudden change, Evan was particularly banned from participating in the Triwizard Tournament by two other wizarding schools.
This was the second accident after the name of the fake Moody couldn’t be marked on the Marauder’s Map tonight.
It was too sudden, but it seemed reasonable.
Evan’s previous appearance at the World Cup was too high-profile. Whether it was his duel with Caresius or the magical transformation of the stadium’s main building into a gia...

As long as he looked up, he could see Moody standing opposite Dumbledore, and the two were whispering something.
But on the Marauder’s Map, only Dumbledore’s name could be seen, and there was only a small black dot on the opposite side of his name.
The Marauder’s Map had lost the edge it gave Evan before, and he was experiencing this situation for the first time.
