Chapter 1337: Purification at the Cost of Life

But he couldn't give up, and there was no way to give up.

This was a war he could not afford to lose. If Braxius failed to defeat Evan, he would face attacks from all the wizards present.

Originally, according to his plan, as long as he acted swiftly enough, he wouldn't be detected.

But now the Great Hall was completely shrouded in holy light. Once he withdrew his magic, the residual magical energy of such magnitude would undoubtedly be noticed by the wizards.

No matte...

Chapter 1336: Wish to Give Up

Braxius felt it was about time. He decided to end the magic because, in the end, the victory would still belong to him.

If this girl had any new legendary magic items on her, it would be too much!

Even now, he still felt it was excessive and unbelievable.

When did precious legendary magic items become like potatoes on the ground? So worthless that an unknown little girl could casually carry several of them? Come on, this defied all reason!

It was well known that legend...

Chapter 1335: If It Was Just This

It seemed like something was trying to break free from the Diadem.

It could be clearly seen that this was a dark blue soul-like thing that was being peeled off from the Diadem.

In the midst of the deep blue, Evan caught a glimpse of a strange red flash.

The next second, there was a crisp sound from the Diadem and it fell back into his hand. The raven that had once guided Evan flew out of the Diadem.

He had no entity, mainly composed of dark blue light mist, but his eye...

Chapter 1334: Plans and Changes

As Cardinal Braxius moved, the intensity of the light beam enveloping Evan rapidly increased.

Evan found himself unable to control his body, and the feeling of being watched grew stronger and stronger.

At the same time, he felt that the white light in front of his eyes was no longer soft, and began to become a little dazzling!

“What an annoying feeling!”

A few seconds after the magical phenomenon formed by the Time-Turner appeared, a green flame flashed quickly in ...

Chapter 1333: Magical Visions in the Light Column

The faint chill from the Diadem in Evan’s hand brought him abruptly back to his senses.

At this moment, the previously noisy and chaotic Great Hall was utterly silent. The soft white light and the hymns of praise reverberating through the space created an atmosphere of sacredness, a serene and enlightening feeling. Yet, perhaps due to the magical effects, there was also an inexplicable strangeness lingering in the air.

In the midst of peace and tranquility, the heartbeat became ...

Chapter 1332: The Diadem and the Holy Light

"After receiving the appointment from the Wizards’ Council, we sent someone to seek help from the Church," Malfoy turned and addressed the crowd in the Hall, raising his voice as he continued, “All of you present here are outstanding members of the Wizarding World, powerful witches and wizards. You are likely aware that Lady Ravenclaw’s Diadem symbolizes wisdom. It can enhance the wearer’s intelligence and amplify their magical perception — a renowned magical artifact left by the sp...

Chapter 1331: The Conspiracy That Came to Light

In the Great Hall, all eyes were fixed on the newly arrived Cardinal of the Holy See.

During this era, the power of the Roman Empire was rapidly declining, but the influence of the Holy See was steadily growing.

The Great Schism of the Eastern and Western Churches, which later became famous, had not yet begun, and the British royal family had not initiated the Reformation to break away from the rule of the Pope. The influence of the Roman See reached its peak during this period. L...

Chapter 1330: The Cardinal Visiting Hogwarts

There are many different theories about the origin of magic, and it has always been a focus of debate in academia.

Among these theories, one suggests that humans, driven by reverence for nature, demons, deities, or elves, enabled a select group of gifted individuals — later known as wizards — to comprehend or learn magic from these sources.

Another theory proposes that humans interbred with powerful, magical creatures, resulting in offspring that sometimes became Centaurs, Mer...

Chapter 1329: Unexpected Visitor

Evan quietly watched the conversation between the Four Founders without saying anything. Now was not the time to ask questions.

The Four Founders paid no attention to Evan either, and instead got into their argument, which seemed to have happened many times before.

But to be honest, Evan didn't quite understand what Ravenclaw said.

What did she mean?

Especially that last part she said to Slytherin — Evan had too many questions. First, what was Domain Magic? Second, w...

Chapter 1328: The Power of Slytherin

"Quiet, you are disturbing my magic experiment!" Salazar Slytherin's cold voice echoed from outside the door.

The next second, the oak door was slammed open, but there was no one outside, only a cloud of black mist rolling towards them.

The mist churned violently, sweeping through the Great Hall with a terrifying aura, engulfing everyone inside in an instant.

Evan saw Nick scream with his mouth wide open, but didn't hear any sound because the fog had already hit.

Then,...

Chapter 1327: Chaos

Annie Black was very popular within Hogwarts, particularly among the boys.

Evan could clearly feel this because as soon as he walked into the Great Hall, many boys had their eyes fixed on him. Even though something big was happening on the central platform of the Great Hall, they ignored it and just stared at “Annie” nervously, paying attention to her every move.

No matter what era or what occasion, beautiful girls were always popular.

Evan found himself in the Gryffindo...

Chapter 1326: Speech and Questioning

Evan witnessed a classic Malfoy-style scheme: they orchestrated everything in secret, never revealing themselves.

Even when it came to claiming the spotlight at the end, they refused to do so, unwilling to take the slightest risk.

Fleeting fame or reputation meant nothing to the Malfoys. What they valued were tangible benefits.

Regardless of whether this matter succeeded or failed in the end, on the surface, it had nothing to do with the Malfoy family.

Therefore, even ...

Chapter 1325: The Great Conspiracy

Evan had returned specifically to accomplish this task: to return the true Diadem to Rowena Ravenclaw.

He even suspected that Ravenclaw might have anticipated that Helena would steal her tiara and planned to return it to her hands in this way. If she was really as smart as the rumors said, it would not be impossible for her to plan these things.

In any case, the fact that Evan would return the Diadem to Ravenclaw had been incorporated into the rules of time.

No matter what h...

Chapter 1324: The Context of History

The last question was about the death of Rowena Ravenclaw.

Calculating the time, it should have happened not long after this. This was a historical event that could be confirmed.

Most of Helena's regret also came from this. She believed that it was her own behavior that killed her mother.

Did Rowena Ravenclaw die of illness because she missed her daughter as the legend said? Or was it for some other reason?

Another thing that was certain was that shortly after Ravencla...

Chapter 1323: The Missing Diadem

Ravenclaw’s Diadem was a symbol of wisdom and a legendary magical item.

It was said that the ancient gods had cast a spell on it to increase the wisdom of the wearer.

Etched upon its surface was Ravenclaw's famous quote: "Wit beyond measure is man's greatest treasure."

Now, the Diadem was in Evan's possession, and he had worn it before, without feeling any clearer or wiser.

In his opinion, this thing was a very valuable historical relic. Of course, it bore m...

Chapter 1322: The Baron and Helena

“What opportunity? I can’t see anything strange about this."

“Lady Ravenclaw personally appointed the Baron to find Helena. We all know that he has been pursuing her madly..."

"Yes, he said last time when he talked with us that he was fascinated by that woman. Maybe, the Baron thought that if he married her, he would get the support of the Ravenclaw family and Professor Gryffindor. He’s very ambitious and does not care whether the woman is really pure-blood. As long as she...

Chapter 1321: The Plot Against Ravenclaw

There might be numerous comments about the Malfoy family, but the most memorable one was this: It is often said of the Malfoy family that you will never find one at the scene of the crime, though their fingerprints might be all over the guilty wand.

This ancient pure-blood Wizarding family venerated the ideology of pure-blood supremacy and enjoyed plotting schemes, but they never showed their faces.

Rather than orchestrating schemes personally, the Malfoy family preferred...

Chapter 1320: The Struggle of a Thousand Years Ago

The two guys talking outside were members of the Malfoy and Peverell families. Together with the Black, Stinchcombe, Ravenclaw, Slytherin and Hufflepuff families they mentioned, these seven pure-blood Wizarding families controlled more than half of the seats in the Wizards' Council (the predecessor of the Ministry of Magic, the current governing body of the Wizarding World), and had a very strong influence.

Each of the seven pure-blood Wizarding families had a glorious history when trac...

Chapter 1319: The Seven Families and Bloodline Magic

"Shut up, Malfoy. I saw Annie too. Don't order me around. Do you think you and your family..."

Evan couldn't hear the rest of the words. He didn't know who the other idiot downstairs besides Malfoy was.

The Malfoy family had been a powerful pure-blood Wizarding family since ancient times. There weren’t many people who dared to speak to them like that.

Obviously, this guy's family was also very prominent, and its influence was no weaker than that of the Malfoy family.

Chapter 1318: An Ancestor of the Black Family

Evan wasn’t supposed to encounter anyone, but there was no time to avoid it!

He suddenly stopped, staring in surprise at the young girl who had just walked up.

She was wearing an oddly styled ball gown, but it didn’t look ridiculous; instead, it gave off a stunning impression.

At the very least, Evan's eyes lit up. This was an exceptionally beautiful girl.

And there was something about her demeanor that was hard to ignore.

She seemed to have left the banquet ...

Chapter 1317: The Era that Pure-blood Wizards Longed For

Evan walked to Slytherin’s desk. Now, he could clearly see the staff in front of him.

The dark golden body of the staff, the patterns on the two giant snakes, and the complex patterns carved with ancient magic runes on the scepter.

Of the four key items left behind by Slytherin, only the staff remained missing.

Its importance was self-evident. Evan had seen its pattern many times in those ancient ruins.

The legend of the caduceus could be traced back to the ancient g...

Chapter 1316: The Office Areas of ​​the Four Founders

A sudden whirlwind engulfed him, and in the colorful, shifting space, countless clouds quickly receded past Evan.

For a moment, he was momentarily dazed, his thoughts seemingly left behind, unable to catch up.

By the time he regained his focus, the clouds around him disappeared and the speed of the shuttle rotation became slower and slower.

Evan's feet landed on the ground again, and he returned to Hogwarts a thousand years ago!

It was the dead of winter, the coldest t...

Chapter 1315: Dangerous and Troublesome Ancestors

Because the time to stay in the past was limited, the remaining two opportunities had to be used wisely, with the exact time carefully confirmed.

Evan didn't want to go back to Hogwarts a thousand years ago, but in the end he couldn't find Rowena Ravenclaw...

If that happened, what would be the point of going back? A sightseeing tour of Hogwarts a millennium ago? Or perhaps a chance to taste the notoriously awful British cuisine of that era?

"The information recorded in this...

Chapter 1314: Back to a thousand years ago

"I don't understand!" Harry shook his head.

He glanced at Evan, who didn’t seem inclined to speak, then turned back to meet Dumbledore’s blue eyes.

Harry had a feeling of being seen through. In front of Dumbledore, all his secrets would be exposed.

Yet this familiar feeling brought him a small sense of relief. Before looking at Dumbledore, he was afraid that he would have the urge to pounce on him and bite him like a snake, just like last term, but this terrible impulse ...

Chapter 1313: Thickets of Wildest Guesswork

Evan was aware of Harry’s resentment toward Dumbledore — this was a grudge between the two of them.

He did not join in the conversation, but looked at Fawkes the Phoenix with interest, allowing Harry and Dumbledore to communicate.

Harry's resentment towards Dumbledore made him emotionally unstable, and this resentment reached its peak during the previous summer.

When Evan and Hermione returned from their trip to Egypt, they had expected Harry to welcome them as usual, th...

Chapter 1312: Dumbledore’s Private Tutoring

"Promised Hagrid to visit a giant or an Acromantula, that's why Ron didn't want to come," Hermione said as soon as the door of the cabin closed, "and we still had to make excuses for him, as if he truly had something important he couldn’t miss."

"If it can cheer Hagrid up, then it’s no big deal to visit," said Evan. "Let’s head back quickly; I’m starving!"

The rock cakes earlier were really unappetizing — too hard to eat. Especially after watching Hagrid’s baking proce...

Chapter 1311: The Dying Spider King

To be honest, Hagrid cried a lot, but it was mostly because of emotional matters.

For example, he was often moved by others’ trust in him, or when talking about his family and his parents’ past, or...

No one expected that Evan, Harry, Hermione, and Ron not choosing his class would upset him so much.

Or maybe it wasn’t just that — perhaps there were other things piling on at the same time!

Hermione gently put her arm around Hagrid's shaking shoulders and asked, ...

Chapter 1310: Depressed Hagrid

Evan and Buckbeak were well-acquainted; he had even ridden him before to raid the lair of the Acromantula.

Seeing Evan and the others, Buckbeak extended his huge head towards them and clicked his razor-sharp beak.

“Oh dear,” said Hermione nervously. “He’s still a bit scary, isn’t he?"

"A little bit, but don't be fooled by his appearance, he’s actually quite friendly," said Evan, meeting the Hippogriff's eyes.

Without blinking he bowed low to the Hippogriff,...

Chapter 1309: Visiting Hagrid

Hermione breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Ron successfully catch Ginny's ball.

She had been incredibly tense, clutching Evan’s hand tightly the entire time.

Now, she wanted to let go, but Evan didn’t release her hand.

After all, holding hands while watching the game just felt right.

Otherwise, what would it look like to sit there with a book in hand?

Like Hermione, Harry was overjoyed to see Ron block the fourth ball.

He resisted joining in the ch...

Chapter 1308: Keeper Tryouts

Evan and Hermione were seated near the goal posts, where all the students waiting to try out for the Keeper position had lined up.

So, like Harry, they saw Ron, who was a delicate shade of green.

Ron’s reaction wasn’t unexpected — he had always had a problem with nerves and was prone to stage fright.

However, the uncontrollable shaking of his body might be due to him being angry.

Not far from him, McLaggen openly commented on the performance of every student tryi...
