Chapter 337: Arithmancy and Controversy

The topic continued until the four of them finished their lunch in the Great Hall. 

“What shall we do when we get that item?" Ron looked at the Forbidden Forest and said uncertainly, "Since the power of that thing helped Sirius make the Marauder’s Map, maybe it can help us improve our magic..."

"It's not a good idea. Strength should be accumulated a little by itself, rather than relying on the promotion of magic items!" Hermione frowned and said, "Besides, we w...

Chapter 336: Departure to the Centaurs’ Colony

Evan was the last one of the second years. Behind him was Ron. He did very well until he reached the Hinkypunk. While his performance before that was somewhat rushed, it was generally passable. 

But then, the Hinkypunk’s misleading directions confused him into sinking waist-deep into the quagmire. 

“That’s a pity. Ron must have mistaken the Hinkypunk’s lantern as a destination. This is a very easy mistake." Sirius said with regret, "If he were ...

Chapter 335: Mars and the Dark Temple

Hermione's advice to Ron also applied to Harry.

Unless Harry did much better than the others, and was impeccable, he would never be treated fairly by Snape. 

Snape wouldn’t miss any chance to give Harry a zero, especially considering his recent mood. Even if he gave all Gryffindor a zero, Evan would not be surprised.

After dinner, the students hurried back to their Common Rooms, not to relax, but to start preparing for the following exams. 

Chapter 334: Evan’s History of Magic Exam

Unlike with The Transfiguration exam when he finished first, Evan was the last to hand in the paper in the History of Magic exam. 

He wrote for two hours and a half. At the end of the day, the young wizards in the whole class stared at him, stunned. Even Professor Cuthbert Binns was very surprised. 

They didn’t know how Evan could write so much, which was beyond imagination. 

He could have finished the whole exam within an hour, but the la...

Chapter 333: School Year Exams

Unlike Hermione, Ginny, and Luna, Cho was a sentimental girl. 

Besides magic and Quidditch, she also cared about many things, like an ordinary Muggle girl, not a wizard. 

She said a lot to Evan, words Hermione would never say. 

This feeling was very special. It impressed Evan deeply, making him somewhat fond of the beautiful girl. 

But Cho only visited him once. Hagrid often came. Because of the matter of Acromantulas, he had been in a ba...

Chapter 332: Evan’s Recovery Time

"Gryffindor's Secret Treasure Key?!" Harry was surprised.

"We all know that the item he left behind in the Centaurs’ colony has strong magic power, which can help us to enhance our magic power. Sirius and Professor Lupin, with the help of that thing, made the Marauder’s Map." Ron nodded and said, "Think about it, Harry! If we get more magical power, we won’t have to worry about the upcoming exams. Hermione and Evan, you can also use that thing...”

“No,...

Chapter 331: Ron's Suggestion

Evan took an old slate and secretly recorded the route marked on the map. 

Hermione used a quill to record a few key positions on the map on the parchment, ready to go to the library to cope with books on ancient Greek geography. 

The ward was quiet and Harry and Ron looked at each other. 

“Are you two still studying this thing?!" Ron said suddenly. "Things are already very clear. It doesn't make sense to continue research..." 

...

Chapter 330: Thoughts and Intentions

Hermione seemed to have noticed Evan’s abnormality, and she stared at him again for a while. 

When Harry and Ron talked about the Bulgarian Seeker Krum, she clearly felt that Evan was distracted. Although he didn't say anything, but because she knew him well, Hermione sharply captured Evan’s mood changes and general thoughts. He did not seem to want to let her know about Krum. 

This was really suspicious, was that Seeker a girl?! And if so, why did...

Thank you <3

Hello guys,  how are you all doing? I hope you're all doing great.

So, what is that I'm reading up there on the left of my screen? Did I just hit 90 Patrons after months of staying in the 80's range? Bonus chapter tonight on top of the regular chapter, for all tiers!

Thank you! 

Chapter 329: Events That MUST Be Prevented

That horrible monster was Herpo himself... 

This idea had been lingering in Evan’s mind since it appeared. 

He thought about it. If he were an evil Dark wizard, then he would certainly never speak out about his most powerful black magic. 

Even if he would’ve written it down, he would certainly keep it secretly preserved. 

It could be inferred from this that the Horcrux was certainly not the most powerful and evil magic that He...

Chapter 328: Herpo’s Horcrux and Evan’s Hypothesis

"Another Parselmouth, sounds like Slytherin." Ron looked disgusted. "A Dark wizard such as this so-called Herpo the foul, I’m not surprised at what he had studied and created. Come on, besides that horrible monster and the Basilisk, what evil research does he have?”

“Herpo the Foul , known as the founder of modern black magic, had invented many evil curses in his life, most of which are thought to have been lost." Hermione went on to read, "It was determined that he h...

Chapter 327: Herpo the Foul

"A map?!" Harry and Ron rushed together. 

“Yes, although the specific location is still uncertain, it’s definitely a map.” 

Evan combined the stones, which simply delineated mountains, rivers, oceans and canyons. 

Although a large part of the stone was missing, the key position was still there. 

Above the map was an endless cloud. At the center was a temple altar. The emblem on it was the pattern on the nameplate that Evan s...

Chapter 326: The Earliest Dark Wizard

In the school hospital, Harry, Ron and Hermione gathered and stared at the blue stone in Evan’s hand. 

“What’s the more amazing secret that Slytherin found?" Ron asked. 

“I don't know, the stones are cracked here, the weathering and damage are very serious, and the words behind are all unrecognizable." 

Evan squinted and tried hard to identify. 

But no, he couldn’t see the letters behind. 

“Maybe this can go...

Chapter 325: Secrets from Antiquity

"It's very simple. I’ll read the meaningless letters to you. If they are in Parseltongue, you should understand them." Evan pointed to the ancient text curved on the stone, "In due course, you’ll translate them." 

“I’ll try!" Harry nodded. 

“Ready, I’m starting..." Evan fumbled over the words on the stone, trying to spell out the incoherent letters, and uttered strange tones in his mouth. 

It sounded like a low, hoarse hissing sound, a...

Chapter 324: Try to Unscramble

Even if it couldn’t compete with the horrible monster and the strength of Salazar Slytherin in his youth, the sudden increase in power still boosted Evan’s confidence. 

He was immersed in joy and in a happy mood, just like Harry when he won the Quidditch Cup. 

Now was not the horrific barbaric era of wars; black wizards and dangerous magical creatures no longer roamed the earth like they did a thousand years ago. Wizards no longer needed powerful m...

Chapter 323: Strength Rapid Improvement

"Severus, what about the two children?" 

“Draco was frightened. He was bitten by an Acromantula. The venom spread to his whole body. There is a trace of dark magic in his soul, not one that I’m familiar with. He’s in a very bad state, but he won’t die!" Snape said stiffly. "Lucius just took him away. He asked me to tell you that this is not going to end like this. He will complain to the Board of Governors and the Ministry of Magic about it.” 

“I...

Chapter 322: Discussion in Dumbledore’s Office

At sunset, everything on the ground was coated with a golden yellow. 

The setting sun strove to shine the last ray of light on the huge castle of Hogwarts. 

The same was true in Dumbledore’s Office, where the sunlight shone through the rectangular windows, and the delicate silverware stood on the slender-legged table, quietly whirling and emitting puffs of smoke. Not far away, the glass container with Godric Gryffindor’s sword gleamed faintly. ...

Chapter 321: The Final Chapter in the Lair

Deep underground in the darkness, a silver band of tiny glittering planktons stretched hundreds of feet wide.

Like the Milky Way in the Summer Night Sky, attracted by magic, they poured in continuously from the void, without interruption, without stopping...

The silver light completely dispelled the darkness that had been shrouding the place for a thousand years. 

Reacting with the Locket in Evan’s hand, the magic left by Salazar Slytherin was succe...

Chapter 320: The Shadow of Salazar Slytherin

What was unveiled about the mystery from a thousand years ago was just the tip of the iceberg, but things were getting more and more complicated. 

Through these ancient murals, Evan finally figured out what he was facing. 

However, he found that the doubts in his mind did not decrease. In fact, he had even more questions. 

In any case, Salazar Slytherin’s last act was too suspicious. Evan tried to recall his life story, but found that in all kno...

Chapter 319: The Trouble of Dealing With Slytherin

Whatever the monster was, there was no point in continuing to use magic to attack it. 

Continuous attempts had made it clear to Evan that it was only a phantom that was immune to his attack, just being there to distract him.

Only by finding its origin could it be eradicated.

In his hand, Slytherin’s Locket emitted a dark green light fog, which did not affect Evan, but substantially made the beast’s tentacles wiggle. 

Its massive eyeball...

Chapter 318: Horcrux and Evan’s Conjecture

At that moment, Evan seemed to think of something. 

His thoughts were interrupted by the continuous whisper.

He stood dejectedly in the same place, staring blankly at his wand in his hand, his brain stopped working, he had no idea what he was going to do, and why was he standing here?! 

Evan shook his wand, completely confused, and there was an urge in his heart to use Black Magic to kill something, but he didn't know who to kill. 

Then he s...

Chapter 317: The Wandering Madness

Evan heart pounded and he looked at the monster above his head with trepidation. 

Its body was completely hidden in the stone wall above the ceiling, and it was covered up, revealing only half of its head and massive blood-red eyes. 

There were no other organs on its head besides eyes, tentacles and rough skin.

It swayed its tentacles wantonly, and looked extremely nauseous, ragged all over. The weirdest thing about the monster was its huge blood...

Chapter 316: Monster on the Ceiling

What on earth was Aragog talking about, following its children?!

Evan thought that it was referring to the Acromantula that had just sent him down here, but the latter did not follow. 

But he soon understood what it meant. By the light at the end of his wand, he saw rows of small spiders crawling through the cracks in the ground... 

Evan followed the spiders and found a hidden cave in the dark corner on the left side of the hall. It was very narr...

Chapter 315: Parseltongue and Hidden Secrets

Yes, this was the statue of Salazar Slytherin himself. 

Surrounded by a silver band of light, he held a wand in his hand, and the end of the wand leaned down slightly, as if he were casting some magic. The expression on his face was extremely serious. 

Unlike the statue of Slytherin that Evan had seen before, this statue was neither that old and clumsy man in the Chamber of Secrets, ancient and monkeyish, with a long, thin beard; nor the handsome, calm and r...

Chapter 314: Underworld

Evan poured out the potion from the glass bottle. This potion could boost the spirit and was very helpful for reading books late at night. 

He had intended to give Hermione some, so he made a lot of it. 

This was the biggest bottle Evan carried with him. He pointed the bottle at Aragog. 

“Although we have a common enemy, to be honest, I don't believe you. You must be the same!" Evan said bluntly, "To avoid mutual suspicion, I have a suggestion. ...

Chapter 313: kill it Deep Underground

So it seemed that the origin of this matter was Evan’s fire. 

Apparently, Aragog was full of resentment towards both the incident and Evan. It was waving its big pincers at an unprecedented speed, and its whole body was shaking.

If it could, it would now rush up and tear him apart... 

Evan clenched his wand. It wasn't until Aragog regained calm that he relaxed his guard.

He could understand Aragog's thoughts. In its view, he set fire to h...

Chapter 312: Sequence of Events

The curved capital letter S, the characteristic emblem of the Slytherin family. In the history of magic for thousands of years, this ancient family of pure blood wizards had a profound influence on the process and development of magic circles, among which Salazar Slytherin was the most famous. 

Undoubtedly, he was a great wizard, but he was also the craziest. 

“Damn, I should have thought of it. Only that old madman Salazar Slytherin would leave such...

Chapter 311: The Tale of Aragog

“Believe me, Hagrid's friend, this is the last request of a dying old spider. I sincerely ask for your help. Help me and my children." Aragog said slowly, "at least in facing “that”, our interests are the same." 

“It depends on the value of the information you provide." The wand in Evan’s hand was motionless, pointing steadily at Aragog. "Who is “that”?” 

“I don't know, I’ve only heard it, but I have never seen it." Click, click, Ar...
