Harry Potter and the Secret Treasures - H.P.S.T Chapter 1338: End of Chapter

Cardinal Braxius was finished, but the magic had not stopped.

The moment he disappeared, the power of the holy light in the Great Hall reached its peak.

Every legendary magic item had lost its original brilliance, leaving only the ancient, unadorned scepter floating in midair.

Cracks began to appear on the scepter, and the enormous power inside it gushed out madly.

With it as the center, the Great Hall became a sea of ​​light.

On the platform, Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, and Ravenclaw, who had been standing still, suddenly moved.

The orange, dark yellow and blue lights emanating from them suddenly intensified. They were the only different colors remaining amidst the white light. They were particularly eye-catching and comforting. After all, staring at a single color for too long could be quite unsettling.

But it should be noted that there were no other spectators in the Great Hall at this time.

Therefore, no one noticed that the three Founders easily broke free from Braxius’s magical control.

The three of them seemed unaffected. They approached the place where Braxius had stood moments earlier, surrounding the scepter that was now floating uncontrollably in the air. Lifting their heads, they gazed at the cracking, splintering staff and the wild magical energy pouring out. …

No, there was a fourth person, Salazar Slytherin, who’d been absent for a long time.

As the three Founders stopped, he appeared in the remaining unoccupied position around the staff. In his hand was the Caduceus, previously left in the office. Its dark silver glow stood out sharply against the surrounding white light.

“I told you earlier that this wasn’t a good idea. Is everything fine on Evan’s end?” Gryffindor asked. “That cat…”

“Don’t worry. Whatever that cat is, it won’t be a problem. You’ve seen the book too, haven’t you?”

“I was just about to talk to you about that book, Helga. You didn’t tell us that the book would appear in the hands of that Mudblood?!” Slytherin’s voice was emotionless. “You have hidden a lot from me. Your prophecy did not say that.”

He did not look at the scepter in the air, but his gaze was fixed firmly on where Evan stood.

Even though that space was now entirely engulfed in white light, he seemed to be able to see Evan.

In Slytherin’s hand, the two dark green pythons on the Caduceus had their eyes fully opened and were slowly flicking their tongues.

Their expressions were strange and their eyes were fixed on where Evan was.

Both snakes looked highly alert, as if their enemies were there.

“It’s not that I kept it from you, Salazar. I never claimed it wouldn’t be there, did I? If the Caduceus can end up in your hands, why couldn’t the book end up in Evan’s? Those ancient Seers saw far more than I ever could. …”

“Whatever the case, this benefits our plan!” Ravenclaw interjected. “I’ve always wondered how Evan might obtain the book, but I could never track its whereabouts. I didn’t expect he’d already have it!”

“This child has a lot of good things,” said Hufflepuff. “Well, I changed my mind. There is no need to leave any magic items for Evan in the treasure. I think it might be more meaningful to put a few more recipes I treasure. …”

“In any case, the current situation is in our favor. Now it’s your turn, Salazar. If Evan wants to master the book and complete his final mission, he needs the Caduceus in your hand. When are you going to give it to him?” Ravenclaw continued to ask.

“After he solves the riddle I’ve left behind,” Slytherin replied coldly. He glanced at the staff, already fragmenting in midair. “I’ll leave this matter to you. I don’t want anyone interrupting my important experiments again.”

With that, he vanished. Gryffindor frowned, and Hufflepuff seemed a bit uneasy.

“A cardinal died in Hogwarts, and who knows what the Pope will do?!” she said. “Rowena, since this has happened, the trouble from the Church is the problem we need to solve first. It’s better to wait for a while for the motion you initiated in the Wizards’ Council. What the Wizarding World needs right now is unity.”

“I’m well aware. We…”

“Wait, I have a question too — about your Diadem, Rowena,” said Gryffindor. “I need an explanation as to why the Diadem was brought back from the future by Evan. Could it be that what the kid from the Peverell family said was true, and it was really stolen by Helena?!”

Ravenclaw did not answer immediately. She looked at Gryffindor quietly, her thoughts unreadable. …

Meanwhile, in the dazzling white light, Evan felt an overwhelming surge of power — yet surprisingly, the pressure on his body was minimal. Compared to before, it was far easier to bear.

This was because the majority of the energy was being absorbed by two things before him: The Book of Abraham and the peculiar cat. Like bottomless pits, they swallowed the vast amount of magic around them.

Under the influence of magic power, the pages of The Book of Abraham began to flip rapidly, and Evan also saw obvious changes in the cat in front of him.

his shape no longer appeared hazy, no longer ethereal made up of light and mist, but had gained substance.

But strangely , Evan could sense that this was definitely not what the cat wanted.

Because of the influx of magic power, he seemed unusually furious, waving his claws and letting out constant cries.

This couldn’t stop anything, the magic power around was too abundant, and the cat’s shape became clearer and clearer.

Evan didn’t notice that Ravenclaw and Gryffindor had ended their argument. They and Hufflepuff released magic together. Under the guidance of the three Founders, all the magic in the Hall converged, centering on the fracturing staff and channeling toward Evan.

It wasn’t just the peculiar cat undergoing a transformation. The Book of Abraham rapidly flipped to its third chapter.

On the first page of the chapter, the shadowy figure of the evil god that Evan was most familiar with emerged and slowly floated up.

He waved his tentacles, seeming to have gained magic powers as well.

Evan thought to himself, “Oh no! If this evil god takes this opportunity to escape…”

Just as this thought came to his mind, dozens of chains engraved with runes rose from the book and wrapped around the floating evil god, tightly entangling him. The evil god struggled violently, let out a soundless roar, and was slowly dragged back into the pages of the book.

“Meow!” This scene seemed to stimulate the cat. He stopped resisting and turned around to escape.

The next second, The Book of Abraham shot forward with astonishing speed.

Evan could clearly feel that at this moment, all the magic power was gathering towards the book, providing it with energy.

The chains flew out again from The Book of Abraham, this time binding the cat that had just solidified into a tangible form.

In the blink of an eye, the strange cat was completely swallowed by The Book of Abraham!

With a resounding thud, the book, having consumed the cat, fell heavily to the ground.

Its pages fluttered open and shut, and Evan stood quietly alone in the white light, as if nothing had happened. …
