Harry Potter and the Secret Treasures

Evan hoped Dumbledore wouldn’t do this. There were still many things that had not been resolved! Besides, Hogwarts could not prosper without Dumbledore, he was the best headmaster.

Apart from this, upon careful consideration, after Evan intervened to solve the accident of the Resurrection Stone and the Ring, Dumbledore really had no reason to die. Even Voldemort had no way to defeat him, and there was no situation that required Dumbledore’s sacrifice…

Even though he was very old, it was not a problem to continue for several more decades.

The lifespan of powerful wizards was far longer than that of ordinary people. If willing, Dumbledore could even live on like Nicolas Flamel.

And if Dumbledore was gone, he would surely have everything arranged.

Evan could be sure of this, and then they would just continue moving in the direction planned by Dumbledore!

“Don’t overthink it, Evan. What I just said was merely a hypothesis,” said Dumbledore calmly. “I am sorry if it made you feel uneasy, but you have to understand, I just hope you can grow up quickly.”

“I understand!”

“That is good,” said Dumbledore cheerfully. “You, Hermione and Elaine will stay here during this period. Do not…”

“Professor, I want to go to Norway,” said Evan. Dumbledore wouldn’t want to solve the evil god’s body by himself, would he?! Based on what he’d just said, could he know something and plan to do something dangerous in Norway?!

“Once I can enter the core area of the seal, I will come back to take the three of you there. Until then, you should stay here and not go out; the Ministry is searching for you,” said Dumbledore seriously. “Alright, Evan, everything that needs to be said has been said. There are some things I do not need to worry about; you have always been much more outstanding than I imagined. I believe in you.”

He waved to Evan and vanished from the air again.

Looking at the dimly lit living room, Evan calmed down. He put away the Resurrection Stone before walking out.

After a night of silence, Caresius’s return made Elaine very happy, and her mood quickly improved.

Seeing Evan, Hermione, who was a little nervous, also breathed a sigh of relief.

That evening, the atmosphere at Number Twelve, Grimmauld Place was undoubtedly pleasant.

But as Evan expected, that night he slept alone, not like last night, when he slept with Hermione and Elaine on the same bed…

The things left unfinished from last night couldn’t be continued tonight; he would have to find another opportunity later. Evan found himself alone, quietly contemplating the events of the evening and taking the chance to study the Resurrection Stone.

He took out the Resurrection Stone and tried to use it.

There was no dead person that Evan wanted to see. There should be no reaction at all, but unexpectedly, Shukrya’s slender figure appeared in front of Evan. She was the girl he’d seen at the Owl Fortress before, the witch doctor shaman.

She had been dead for hundreds of years and escaped the curse of the devil because of Evan’s help.

In the end, she left her tribe’s sacred artifact to Evan, a magic item of great use that could help Evan feel the power of nature and transform into an owl in soul form, which helped him a lot in his later adventures.

Perhaps out of sympathy for her experience, the Resurrection Stone seized the gap in Evan’s heart to create sadness.

It summoned Shukrya’s soul back, silently floating next to Evan…

Though it served him no practical purpose, it still made him feel uncomfortable.

In a way, there was a faint sense of sadness filling the heart.

This was the magic of the Resurrection Stone, one of the Deathly Hallows, and it was indeed powerful enough.

As long as there were dead relatives, lovers, or friends, there was no way to resist its temptation.

Early the next morning, Caresius left for Norway, and Sirius left soon after.

Only Evan, Hermione, and Elaine were left in this old house. They spent the morning reading newspapers, and then went to the Black family library to find some books to read. In the evening, Sirius would come back and stay with them.

This went on for five days. Occasionally, other members of the Order would visit and bring them the latest news.

Tonks came here almost every day. It was unbelievable that the Aurors from the Ministry of Magic were still looking for Umbridge in the Forbidden Forest and engaging in small-scale battles with the Centaurs. They were looking in the wrong direction and naturally could not find Grawp hiding in the cave.

Especially with Hagrid protecting him, the Aurors might not find Umbridge in the Forbidden Forest for the rest of their lives.

In addition, unexpectedly, Evan also saw Fleur. She eventually found a job at Gringotts headquarters in London and was now being mentored by Bill.

Her English was much better than before, but she was still so enthusiastic. As soon as they met, she kissed Evan hard…

The dull but fulfilling days passed quickly. During the day, they discussed the current situation in the Wizarding World and Hogwarts. In the evenings, Hermione or Elaine would come to Evan’s room to have heart-to-heart talks with him. Occasionally, there were also nocturnal visits, sneaking into his bed.

However, there had been no information from Norway, and they didn’t know how far the cracking of the seal had progressed.

But thinking about it carefully, Evan was really not in a hurry to go there. The current situation in Norway was very complex, and going there wouldn’t be of much use if the seal wasn’t broken. They were still wanted by the Ministry of Magic, so staying at Number Twelve Grimmauld Place would be safer.

Dumbledore had assured them that they would be involved once they entered the core area of the seal.

To destroy the body of the evil god, they needed to activate the magic left by Slytherin. The Locket in Evan’s hand, the wand in Elaine’s hand, and the ring containing Riddle’s soul were all key items. The Book of Abraham was also essential.

Unfortunately, there was still no clue as to the whereabouts of the caduceus.

As for Dumbledore himself, he never showed up after that night.

Evan knew from Sirius that Dumbledore had not gone to Norway and there were still many things waiting for him to do in London.

For example, deploying the Order of the Phoenix’s recent operations, arranging things at Hogwarts, investigating Tom Riddle in the ring, and devising plans to lure Voldemort to show up and have a decisive battle in the Department of Mysteries of the Ministry of Magic, among other things.
