Harry Potter and the Secret Treasures-Chapter 1225: The Situation

“Alright, Hermione, I did come back safe!” Evan said. “The things I did, actually…”

He wanted to say they weren’t dangerous at all, but whether it was going back to the time of Ramses II, fighting Horus, dealing with the demon in the Chamber of the Obelisks, the Raven’s Claw’s schemes, or confronting the ancient Egyptian gods and activating the weapon, it seemed none of it was related to safety.

It must be admitted that Evan had faced a lot of dangerous situations in the past two months.

Although he hadn’t directly confronted Voldemort, each enemy he faced was no weaker than Voldemort, and some were even much stronger than him.

Every step was fraught with danger, and a slight mistake could have meant never coming back.

From this perspective, Hermione’s worries were justified.

Evan did go a little too far and broke his original promise, but he had no choice. Just like fighting the scorpion demon in front of thousands of wizards, he had wanted to keep a low profile, but ended up having to put on a show.

Seeing Hermione about to continue, Evan quickly changed the subject. “By the way, how did I end up back at home?”

“Sirius brought you back. After we received that letter, we were preparing to head to Egypt to find you. Sirius rushed over that very night and happened to arrive during the Ruins of Amun Ra incident. You, like many other wizards, were found unconscious in the desert,” said Hermione, frowning. “What on earth happened? Those wizards said in the newspaper that you saved them and fought a Scorpion Demon in the bloody rain?”

“I did fight that demon, but it wasn’t actually dangerous at all. We were just acting,” said Evan.

“Acting?”

“Well, you might not believe it, but I went back to Egypt more than two thousand years ago and met Ramses II…”

Evan recounted his time travel and the subsequent events in the ruins to Hermione. The story was undoubtedly legendary, and as she heard about the dangerous parts, Hermione couldn’t help but grip Evan’s arm tightly with both hands, her palms full of sweat.

“Oh my god, you dared to go up and face that demon!”

“I said, I had a token from Ramses II that allowed me to command it.”

“That’s still very dangerous. I’ve read in books that demons are pure Dark beings; they’re dangerous and cunning. Powerful demons can even defy their masters’ commands, break free from magical restraints, and devour those who summoned them,” said Hermione. “And then you went on to activate that weapon, and who knows…”

Evan sighed; he knew this would happen after telling Hermione.

Fortunately, he did not go into detail about his energy in the final abyss, only saying that he had been climbing the stairs.

If Hermione knew he had been controlled and fell, she would probably be even more upset.

The matter was over, and there was no need to scare her again. Moreover, Evan didn’t want Hermione to keep repeating these concerns. Although it was her way of showing care, he knew Hermione would talk for days if no one interrupted her.

In this situation, it would be best to divert Hermione’s attention. Evan thought about it and took out the Eye of Horus.

Sure enough, Hermione began to study this legendary magical item.

“You used it to command the demon?” she asked. “It looks like just an ordinary gem, without any power.”

“After all, it’s just a replica. Pharaoh Ramses II told me that it’s only used to help me alter the rules of time,” said Evan. “But it can command his servants; otherwise, I’d have been smashed into a paste if I had gotten that close, just like that witch…”

“That Dark witch from Raven’s Claw was such an idiot. I bet she didn’t even know what she was summoning.”

“It’s not stupidity. All the members of that organization are hopelessly lunatics. Remember what I told you before about the trip to the giants in Sicily? I saw them absorbing the power of the Cyclops and trying to summon an evil god.”

The Raven’s Claw seemed to be searching the entire world for relics from ancient times, looking to see if there were any creatures sealed within them.

If they found any, they would try to summon those monsters to bring destruction and chaos to the world.

Evan had already thwarted them twice, but he wasn’t sure if, in places he didn’t know about, Raven’s Claw had managed to summon anything.

So far this year, there had been several attacks said to have been planned and launched by Voldemort and his followers, on a somewhat alarming scale.

For example, not long ago, an unprecedented earthquake occurred in Japan…

“By the way, speaking of Raven’s Claw, they’ve announced their allegiance to Voldemort. I saw the news in the newspaper a week ago,” said Hermione. “Although the Death Eaters captured by the Ministry of Magic are still in Azkaban, his power is stronger than it was a few months ago.”

“I’ve heard about that. And it’s just the beginning; more and more Dark wizards will join Voldemort,” said Evan, recalling the news he’d heard in that abandoned timeline, when it was almost time for school to start.

“Yes, Dumbledore seems to think the same. Raven’s Claw’s allegiance will have a cascading effect, drawing more and more desperadoes to Voldemort,” Hermione nodded. “But it’s almost inevitable. As Voldemort’s influence spreads worldwide, more Dark wizards will willingly follow him.”

“What’s the Order of the Phoenix going to do now?” Evan asked.

“I’m not sure. It’s the same as before. They still don’t allow us to participate in the operation, and they won’t tell us anything. I’ve been at home all summer. Elaine and her uncle were at Number Twelve, Grimmauld Place. Maybe they know something. But they went back to Norway half a month ago, saying they were going back to resettle the returning clan members,” Hermione replied. “When Sirius sent you back, he said he was going to France and Italy to investigate Raven’s Claw. The newspapers also reported that the International Confederation of Wizards will be forming special task forces with Aurors from multiple countries to investigate this organization.”

This kind of thing was inevitable, and the current situation was actually somewhat better than the future Evan had seen.

Although Voldemort’s power had greatly increased, the Ministries of Magic of various countries had not been overwhelmed and still had the power to fight back.

If possible, this could be an opportunity to eradicate Raven’s Claw, which would solve a lot of problems.

This mysterious evil organization was a great cause for concern.

As for how to defeat Voldemort and what the Order of the Phoenix should do during this period before the war officially began, Evan had thought about it many times. Now he mainly proceeded at his own pace, destroying Horcruxes, collecting keys to secret treasures, and deciphering the magic and messages left by Slytherin.

If nothing unexpected happened, Voldemort should still be in England, searching for the secret of the Elder Wand.

He would not give up on the pursuit of power, and he would certainly doubt his own wand after it failed to work on Harry.

This was not surprising. The only difference was that he had asked his minions and followers to leave the country and go all over the world to help him collect corpses so that he could complete the evil magic and become an evil god. This ritual was extremely difficult, but Voldemort was surely preparing for it now…
