Chapter 225: Blood-Flavored Lollipops

Evan guessed that the girl in front of him was a vampire, and he looked at her nervously.

Deep down inside, it didn’t seem too bad to be bitten in the neck by such a beautiful, lovely girl.

But at the thought that her bite was not that simple, Evan’s body shivered just imagining it. In Lockhart’s book "Voyages with Vampires", the vampire feeding process had been described in details. 

After selecting a good subject, a vampire usually uses magic to tie it dow...

Chapter 224: History of the First Embrace and Vampires

Evan hadn’t studied the specific origin of this Dark Magic yet.. 

But there is no doubt that the special species of vampires was born at the same time as the original black wizards studied the magic of the "First Embrace" from the evil black magic rituals such as undead sacrifices and summoning demons. 

Through the First Embrace, the magic within the wizard's body will be integrated into his blood. Without physical obstruction, the magic will run faster and...

Chapter 223: Vampires

Evan was tied tightly by the red chain that suddenly appeared, and fell heavily to the ground. 

Unable to manage his pain, he struggled to get up and failed. He was all cold and sweaty, and he didn’t know what the girl wanted. 

Evan tried several spells in succession, but none of them had been released. 

These red chains not only bound his body, but also gave off a strange magic smell, which hindered the magic in him.

Evan looked up and saw...

Chapter 222: Sudden Duel

In the dark alley, Hermione was without a trace, and he did not know where to go. 

Evan and the strange girl in front of him were deadlocked. Two people stood under the Christmas tree. The shadows were reflected in the dark candles hanging on the trees. They stretched long and extended to the depths of the dark alley without any light. 

Evan looked at the girl across the street with a headache. She was wearing a large, tattered black robe, her white, cute nos...

Chapter 221: Strange Girl

With kissing and such matters, one really cannot afford be too hasty. 

The normal “protocol” should be to make a contact first, and then do it.

Under the Christmas tree, Evan’s face was red and hot. He looked up at the dark night sky and took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down. 

Since “this” has become an established fact, he’s now responsible of it, and he should take up the appropriate responsibilities. It doesn’t make much sense...

Chapter 220: The Sweetness Under the Mistletoe

Mistletoe, as the name suggests, is a parasitic plant that grows on other trees. 

It is evergreen, representing hope and fertility. 

There is a popular saying in the United Kingdom, that is: No mistletoe, no happy!

Even in the magic world, it is regarded as a traditional evil repellent, with great magic power, often hung by wizards in doorways to prevent bad luck or evil black magic invasion. On top of that, it had many other uses. 

Chapter 219: Christmas Carnival in Diagon Alley

Dating… it was another date!

Hermione’s face was red, and she remembered the last time she was alone with Evan. The two of them went to Hogsmeade on the last day of the last semester, spent a whole day there, and even went to Madam Puddifoot's Tea Shop... 

Hermione's heart beat increased slightly, and her thoughts returned to the lovers’ Tea Shop, which was all pink with its air filled with lovely aromas.

She thought of what Evan was going to do to her under t...

But before saying goodbye to this month, have a little expression ...

Chapter 218: Christmas Party

The brief funeral ended in a solemn silence. In the end, only the house-elf Kreacher was still screaming, and Sirius basically recovered. 

In his opinion, this was already the best possible outcome. 

The message of Regulus’s death was confirmed thirteen years ago. This funeral was only a late ceremony. 

All his wishes had been fulfilled, and his soul could now rest in peace. 

To Sirius, Regulus was no longer a weak and evil Death Eater, no l...

Chapter 217: A Humble Funeral

Seeing this touching scene, Harry couldn't help but cry. 

In front of him, Sirius held Regulus’s body in tears. He cried so sadly and kept muttering. "Home, Regulus, let us go home…" 

In Sirius’s arms, Regulus was oblivious to all of that. 

His open eyes were misty, and there seemed to be a cobweb inside them. He stretched out his pale, dry hands and hugged Sirius tightly. Not a normal hug, but one full of malice, to drag Sirius into the lake and d...

Chapter 216: Let's Go Home

Just a few seconds before Kreacher discovered Regulus, Dumbledore's four gigantic Trolls had pushed countless Inferi into the dark waters of the lake, setting off waves. 

Dumbledore triumphed, and the monsters he made defeated the Inferi. 

But there was no time for delight. Evan noticed a black smoke coming out of the Troll’s body immersed in the lake. There was an expression of fear on its face.

It was the first time he had seen the deformed creatures having...

Chapter 215: Finding Regulus

Dumbledore knew that he had to be careful. Power’s temptation was infinitely luring, and the more talented a wizard is on his path of magic, the more likely he was to go astray. 

For most wizards, magic is just waving wands and casting a few spells. 

Only a handful of wizards with superior talents know clearly what the essence of magic is and what power it could bring them. 

Immense power and unconstrained ambitions can bring only disaster and de...

Chapter 214: Evan's Attack

"Impedimenta!" Evan shouted, and a red light appeared at the end of his wand. 

He used the Impediment Jinx tripping up an Inferius that had just climbed the island. 

On the rock behind, more Inferi emerged from the water, merely stepped over the fallen bodies and walked over again. 

Evan kept issuing several curses to delay the progress of the Inferi. 

Then he pointed his wand at the rock under their feet and focused on the stone. When h...

Chapter 213: Fighting the Inferi

Seeing Hermione's legs trembling slightly, Evan approached her. 

Hermione turned her head and looked back at Evan uneasily. Panic showed in her brown eyes, as if she was to say something, but she opened her mouth and nothing came out. 

Evan knew that she should be nervous to the extreme. 

Compared to the rest of them, she was the only girl present, facing monsters like the Inferi. The pressure put upon her must be immense.

Without hesitation,...

Chapter 212: Challenges to Be Faced

"Kreacher, Regulus, that year..." said Sirius sadly. 

"Yes, Master Regulus was drinking this green liquid here." Kreacher wiped his tears and said, "This thing should have been done by Kreacher. That was what the Dark Lord asked Kreacher to do, but young Master Regulus did not agree. He let Kreacher go home alive. He drank the potion himself. How good and kind he was...” 

Talking about it, Kreacher suddenly burst into tears. 

Since he stepped on ...

Chapter 211: The Liquid in the Stone Basin

What Evan most cared about was the strange lines on the Locket.

He kept feeling that a secret was hidden within them, although Dumbledore and Voldemort had contacted the Locket and found nothing. 

But Evan couldn’t know why he kept having that feeling. 

Dumbledore looked at Evan and immediately returned to normal. His face was extremely calm, as if nothing had happened. 

He waved his wand and dragged the boat with his own magic. Now, no one but h...

Chapter 210: The Power of Evan

The four people on the boat were tightly gathered, and they didn't dare to move. 

Because of the small space, Harry and Hermione could not even sit comfortably, they could only kneel down, knees on the boat. 

"Professor" Harry said anxiously, looking at the lake that was close at hand. 

"Don't worry, Harry, as I said earlier, this boat is measured by the power of magic. In my opinion, Voldemort would not count the three of you." Dumbledore explained, “...

Chapter 209: The Amount of Magic

Evan squinted and looked at Dumbledore in astonishment. 

On the shore of the dark lake not far away, Dumbledore did not turn around. He turned his back to everyone, as if what had just happened had nothing to do with him. 

Sirius, Harry, and Hermione had their eyes wide, waiting for his next move. 

Everything was just the same as before, everything became unreal again, and Evan tried to recall the wonderful feeling and look for the traces of magic.  2018-08-24 05:59:30 +0000 UTC View Post

Chapter 208: Strange Feelings

Thinking of this, Evan felt particularly uncomfortable. 

He remembered the book “The Rise and Fall of the Dark Arts”, which describes Voldemort's strongest decade: “The era of Voldemort's rule was marked by destruction, and he and his suitors, the black wizards known as Death Eaters, used all kinds of coercion and seduction to strengthen themselves and spread violence and fear. Many Muggles were killed in the name of "amusement" as they tortured those who obstruct...

Chapter 207: Inferi in the Lake

When he heard Kreacher, Sirius rushed forward. 

It was really clear how much he wanted to rush into the lake to find Regulus’s body. 

"No, Sirius!" 

Looking at Sirius, Harry and Hermione screamed, fortunately Dumbledore stopped him at the last minute. 

"Let me go!" Sirius gasped and said, "I am going to find Regulus." 

"I can understand your feelings, Sirius, but we must be careful." Dumbledore whispered, “The Black Lake is very d...

Chapter 206: The Great Black Lake

"Tell me, Kreacher," Sirius clenched his fist and snarled loudly. "How can I get through here?" 

"Need blood, young Master," said Kreacher intermittently, pointing to a large, smooth-faced rock in front of Dumbledore. "Kreacher saw the Dark Lord spread the blood on the rock, and Master Regulus did the same at the time. He cut his arm, and then... " 

Sirius stared for a moment, and didn't seem to understand exactly what Kreacher meant. 

Behind him, the ex...

Chapter 205: The Cave under the Cliff

Hearing Dumbledore, Evan tried to sense those traces left by the magic, but he just stood there blinking as he felt nothing.

By the expressions of Sirius, Harry, and Hermione, they should be like him, not getting what Dumbledore was talking about. 

This showed the gap between them and Dumbledore. 

"You three will not object to getting a little wet?" 

"It doesn't matter, we don't mind." Evan, Harry and Hermione hurriedly shook their heads.&nbs...

Chapter 204: Traces of Magic

"Kreacher, please let me hold your right hand. After I count to three, take us with Apparition to the cave." Dumbledore looked around, muttering, "Now place your hand upon my arm, the four of you. There is no need to grip too hard, I am merely guiding you." 

There was a strange scene in the room. Sirius, Evan, Harry, and Hermione placed their hands on Dumbledore's arms. On top of that, Dumbledore held Kreacher’s right hand. 

"One...Two...Three..." 

Chapter 203: Reducio and Departure

Although Evan himself would never use this black magic, this book was indeed very informative, and the black magic recorded in it inspired him a lot. 

On top of the Horcruxes and the three unforgivable curses, there were other dark magic that Evan had never heard of before. Now, with this book, Evan knew exactly how to deal with them if Voldemort or one of his followers ever used any of them.

He read some more and then, he raised his head. 

He suddenly remember...

Chapter 202: Horcruxes and Confession

Evan’s heart was thumping, this was not good news. 

So far, he had destroyed two Horcruxes made by Voldemort, Tom Riddle's diary and Slytherin's locket. 

In terms of quantity, he seemed to have gained an advantage, destroying Voldemort's Horcruxes and making him go closer to death, but in fact, this did not effectively weaken the power of Voldemort's body, but actually made him more dangerous. 

According to the notes in the book, the essence of Horcruxes...

Chapter 201: The Method of Making a Horcrux

Hogwarts’s copy of the book was originally put in the library area. 

The exact origin and timing of its addition to the Hogwarts library was unknown to Evan, but it was indeed the only known copy of the Secrets of the Darkest Art. 

Evan didn't expect the Blacks to have the same book in their collection. This was his greatest gain after destroying Voldemort’s Horcrux today. 

He had long wanted to read this book, and hoped to learn more about the...

Chapter 200: Secrets of the Darkest Art

For example, Araminta Meliflua, the cousin of Sirius's mother, was mentioned as a dignified lady by Kreacher. 

But in the novel, was she really as good as Kreacher said? If Evan remembered correctly, the most famous thing that this “Lady" did was to try to force through a Ministry Bill to make Muggle-hunting legal. 

And under the influence of Galleons, this inhumane bill had almost passed. But it had been turned down, as its content was too horrible.

...

Chapter 199: Going to the Cave

The house elf was so excited about seeing the locket destroyed. He was too weak at the knees to stand properly. There were a few words of thanks to Evan in his mouth, but Sirius didn’t give him enough time.

"Kreacher, take me to that cave." Sirius commanded, with a flicker of determination on his face. He intended on bringing back Regulus’s body. 

He grabbed the house-elf and wanted to Apparate. 

"Wait a minute, Sirius, we’ll go with you." Harry h...

Chapter 198: Kreacher's Friendship

The next second, unprecedented anger occupied Sirius’s mind. 

"Kreacher!" he growled. "You actually watched Regulus die, and did nothing. He, he was still a child..." 

Although he already had a hunch, but now, Sirius couldn’t believe it, that this was actually the truth behind Regulus’s death. 

He hadn’t finished his rebuke yet, and the house-elf was already punishing himself. 

When everyone did not respond, Kreacher fell to the ground...

Chapter 197: The Black Family's Devotion

"Master Regulus ordered Kreacher to leave… to leave him alone. No matter what happened to him, Kreacher couldn't intervene." 

Kreacher's voice was sharp and twisted. He sobbed and said intermittently with a sorrowful tone: “He ordered… Kreacher to leave … without him. And he told Kreacher… to go home… and never to tell my Mistress… what he had done… but to destroy … the first locket. And he..." 

Everyone looked at Kreacher, waiting for him t...
