Harry Potter and the Secret Treasures - H.P.S.T Chapter 866: Learning Spells

Evan was going to write a letter to Rita Skeeter and ask her to come out and meet. He and Hermione would be in charge of this.

The second thing Voldemort needed to do now, in addition to recruiting his henchmen, was to figure out why he’d failed.

He’d been defeated by Harry twice in a row, especially in his resurrection ceremony against Harry’s wand. The virtual shadows of those who’d been killed by him appeared one after another, which definitely made him doubt himself. He needed to know the complete prophecy of that year.

Voldemort must have attributed his failure to the incomplete prophecy and his wand.

It was conceivable that it wouldn’t be long before he would find out his wand problem and enter the pit that Dumbledore had dug for him in advance.

“When we went down to the kitchen to eat, you’ve all seen the parchment on the table,” said Evan.

“I’ve seen it … it looked like some architectural drawing.”

“Yeah, Fred and George said before that members of the Order of the Phoenix were guarding something to prevent Voldemort from getting it…”

“Hang on … isn’t Harry what they’re protecting?” said Ron.

He was still thinking about Azkaban and the Dementors, and he didn’t keep up with Evan’s thoughts.

“It’s not Harry, but something else; otherwise they wouldn’t have put those parchments on tonight’s meeting,” said Hermione, thinking of the drawing she’d seen at the time. “It was indeed a plan of a building…”

Although her feet were being held by Evan, Hermione’s heart was rippling, but her thoughts were not affected.

As she got used to it, Hermione calmed down, and Evan’s stomach beneath her feet was soft, warm and comfortable.

Despite appearing somewhat lean, the sensation of pressing down on it was not what she expected…

“It must be so. Something is kept in that building.”

“What’s that thing?” Harry asked.

“Not sure yet.” Evan couldn’t say everything and look too omnipotent. He was thinking about how to use Voldemort and the Death Eaters to get into the Department of Mysteries. Should he act according to the original plot or cooperate with the Order of the Phoenix?

The former was undoubtedly the most convenient way to paralyze Voldemort, but it was very dangerous.

It was not a good idea to have a group of young wizards fight the Death Eaters.

Maybe he could bend the rules, let them think that their plan was successful, and that they had deceived the Order of the Phoenix.

But in fact it was the exact opposite, an ambush…

“Something kept by Dumbledore and the Order of the Phoenix, I think it might be a weapon,” said Fred suddenly.

“Yeah, a weapon he didn’t have when he was powerful before,” George continued.

“What do you reckon it is?” Harry asked, looking around at everyone in the room.

“Could be anything,” said Fred, obviously excited.

“I’m not so sure, and I don’t know what weapon will have such great power, but there can’t be anything more powerful than the Avada Kedavra curse, can there?” said Ron. “What’s worse than death?”

“Hard to say. Maybe it’s something that can kill loads of people at once,” suggested George.

“Maybe it’s some particularly painful way of killing people,” said Ron fearfully.

“He’s got the Cruciatus Curse for causing pain,” said Harry. “He doesn’t need anything more efficient than that.”

Hermione and Ginny also said their guesses, which were rejected one by one.

“Evan, do you know any weapon or magical item powerful enough to bring long- lasting fear to people?”

“There are too many, I recommend you to read the Catalogue of Legendary Magical Items. Most of the top legendary magical items included in it have amazing powers and can bring great disaster or fear to the world,” said Evan.

“Those are all legends, and everything in the book is missing,” said Ron. “It’s unknown whether they ever existed.”

“The legend is not entirely fabricated.”

“Anyway, since there’s such a weapon, we must help the members of the Order of the Phoenix guard it,” said Hermione suddenly, seemingly determined.

“What can we do?” said Ron in panic. “Fight a group of extremely evil Death Eaters? This is crazy…”

“If Evan and Harry can, so can we!” said Hermione, not as shy as before. “I’ve been thinking about it. Since Voldemort is back, if we want to fight him and protect ourselves , we must learn some real magic, not those defensive techniques, but practical spells that can be used in gladiatorial combat, even restricted-level Dark magic.”

Ron looked at her in surprise, absolutely thinking Hermione was crazy.

All the others were staring at Hermione, and Evan’s hand stopped. Wouldn’t Hermione want to put forward the concept of Dumbledore’s Army?

“Evan can be responsible for teaching us the spells, and Harry also has a lot of combat experience. That’s what we lack,” said Hermione. “We can learn it now, and we can use it when we fight Voldemort in the future.”

“It’s OK with me!” said Evan, realizing that Hermione’s train of thought hadn’t expanded to the scale of forming Dumbledore’s Army.

But this idea was really good. They could fight Voldemort and the Death Eaters on their own. Helping them to enhance their strength could be not only a powerful helper but also a protection for everyone.

Once the war started, any accident could happen, and only if they were strong enough could they be safer.

Evan didn’t want someone to be killed in battle. That was not what he wanted to live with.

“If there’s no objection…” said Hermione, her eyes sweeping across every face.

“Objection, are you kidding?” said Fred. “That’s a great idea, Hermione!”

“I’ve always wanted to learn magic with Evan. I dare say that many people in the school dream about this,” George followed. “Evan, do you know any powerful Dark Magic?”

“Evan is the most powerful wizard I know, second only to Dumbledore,” said Ginny, looking at Evan with scorching eyes.

“I have no objection either,” Harry followed.

He had usually received a lot of help from Evan, including various spell casting methods. But it was indeed the first time to study systematically like this, and he also looked forward to what Evan would teach them.

Everyone knew what Evan had experienced and done before. There were many things that were simply miracles.

His strength had been recognized, and there was no problem in teaching everyone magic.  He was simply overqualified.

If Hermione hadn’t mentioned it, the others might have been embarrassed to say it. After all, everyone knew Evan was very busy.

Only the relationship between Hermione and Evan could be unreserved. This was purely for everyone’s welfare.
