Harry Potter and the Secret Treasures

Chapter 867: Plans and Arrangements

Seeing everyone looking at him, Ron also nodded hurriedly.

Very well, since everyone agrees, we need to plan what to do. Naturally its summer vacation now. When we get back to Hogwarts, we have to make sure how often and where to meet said Hermione.

I think once a week is good, so that it wont conflict with our Quidditch training.

Once a week is enough! said Evan. There were many things in magic that needed a lot of individual practice and contemplation.

However, he didnt mind giving Hermione a one-on-one 24-hour tutoring.

And where are we going to meet?

Maybe the library

I cant see Madam Pince being too chuffed with us doing jinxes in the library.

Maybe an unused classroom? Ginny suggested.

That also requires the consent of the professors. By the way, Professor McGonagall might let us use her classroom, said Harry. She did when we helped Ron practicing for the Triwizard Tournament last semester.

During these extraordinary times, she was more than willing to help everyone improve their skills, provided no one objected within the school.

The empty classroom used to print the newspaper before is also good

Theres a large space behind the mirror on the third floor, where George and I often test our products.

Well, well study this matter after we get back. I think the place were looking for should be highly confidential.

They talked excitedly for a while, very interested in this matter, wondering what magic Evan would teach them.

Evan intended to teach them the Auror-related knowledge that Sirius had imparted to him. Compared with the scattered and esoteric magic that he had mastered, these contents were more systematic and less difficult, and could also help everyone quickly improve their combat abilities.

In the case magic could not break through rapid growth, practical combat skills were particularly necessary.

In the process of his recent research on ancient magic and the last wizarding civilization, Evan had found that compared with the wizards of a thousand years ago and the older spellcasters, the main reason for the sharp decline in power of the current wizards was that their magical power was too weak.

Because their magical power was too weak, they could not cast most of the spells of the previous times.

As for the reason why the magical power could not grow rapidly, it seemed to be related to the battle of the ancient warlocks to kill the gods

Thousands of years ago, wizards still had many ways to improve their magical power. Now, these methods and magical items had gradually disappeared, which had led to the retrograde development of the entire wizarding world and the decline of the wizarding civilization.

Correspondingly, the use of wands to cast spells had made rapid progress, and had rapidly grown and become the mainstream of the wizarding world.

Magic and Muggle science had become increasingly intertwined, giving rise to a plethora of new everyday spells.

The wizarding worlds overall casting level had declined, but it had become more colorful.

After all, not everyone needed the power of Dumbledore and Voldemort. Too strong power would hinder the fusion of the wizarding world and the Muggle world.

Evan had been trapped by his own magical limitations for a long time, unable to cast those powerful spells.

Had it not been for the help of the Philosophers Stone, Slytherins Locket, and several adventures, he would have been no different from ordinary young wizards.

At best, he would have known more about magic, just like Hermione. Everyone knew that Hermione had read a lot of books and mastered a lot of spells, but her strength was not much better than the others.

The reason lied in this. If there was no new Philosophers Stone, Evans experience of becoming stronger could not be successfully replicated.

Even if they were taught powerful magic, the most likely result would be loss of control and inability to master.

For example, when Evan used Fiendfyre for the first time in Aragogs Lair, he couldnt control it at all, and he hurried away after casting it.

It was not until Voldemort resurrected that he used it again and completely mastered this powerful Dark magic.

Now that the Philosophers Stone was mentioned, Evans thoughts shifted to the remaining three pieces.

He needed to use a Time-Turner to ask Ravenclaw for her piece. As for Hufflepuff and Slytherins pieces, he had only sporadic clues until now, and he still didnt know what difficulties to overcome and what challenges to complete so as to get them.

The Four Founders had left these four Philosophers Stones as keys to the secret treasure. Only the wizard who passed the tests theyd left and was recognized could get these Philosophers Stones. As for the secret treasure, there were key items to save Hogwarts from the evil gods.

It took another five minutes before the topic returned to the thing guarded by the members of the Order of the Phoenix.

Speaking of this, who do you think has got this terrible weapon now? asked George.

I hope its our side, said Ron, sounding slightly nervous.

If it is, Dumbledores probably keeping it, said Fred. Thats why theyve drawings of the building. They built or modified a building like this to keep that item.

Where? said Ron quickly. Hogwarts?

Bet it is! said George. Think about it. Thats where he hid the Philosophers Stone.

A weapons going to be a lot bigger than the Stone, though! said Ron.

Not necessarily, said Fred.

Yeah, size is no guarantee of power, said George, with a familiar smirk on his face. Look at our little sister.

Ginny made a cat-like noise, and George and Fred scurried away.

What do you mean, whats wrong with Ginny?

Evan, Harry, youve never been on the receiving end of one of her Bat-Bogey Hexes, have you? said Fred with a smile.

Thats the most powerful spell Ive ever seen. Its amazing. George hid in Harrys bed.

Fred, George! Ginny was rushing towards them, her face red.

She took a furtive look at Harry and saw nothing but a vague outline in the dark.

Quiet, theres a sound outside! Fred stopped suddenly and let Ginny grab hold of him.

They heard footsteps coming up the stairs and then someone opening the door from outside.

Oh, no, its Mum! said George, and without further ado there was a loud crack and Harry felt the weight vanish from the end of his bed.

Fred also Disapparated, with Ginny beside him and left the room.

Hermione straightened up suddenly. They didnt take her with them.

Mrs Weasley was about to come in. How could she explain it if she found her sitting on Evans bed?

In an instant, Hermiones body turned into a kitten and hid under Evans pajamas.

This situation was too familiar; it was simply an instinctive reaction of the body.

Evan rolled in, hugged Hermione close to his body and covered her with the quilt with the other hand.

Harry and Ron also hurriedly pretended to be sleeping. A few seconds later, they heard the floorboard creak outside their door
