Harry Potter and the Secret Treasures

Chapter 1056: Terrible Weapon

“Weapon?!” Elaine looked at Evan in confusion, as if she understood something.

Hermione’s reaction was faster than hers. The tacit understanding between Evan and her came into play. Hermione understood Evan’s meaning almost instantly. She pretended to be surprised and said, “I can’t believe it, Evan, How could you reveal such an important thing?”

“I can’t stand it…” said Evan pitifully, sticking out his tongue at the two of them behind Umbridge’s back.

“Mr. Mason made the right choice,” said Umbridge, pointing her wand at Evan and Elaine. “Now, don’t move, dears. As Hogwarts High Inquisitor, I order you to surrender your wands.”

Hermione and Elaine did not do as she asked, and the two sides were in a stalemate.

“Give her the wands, she knows everything, it’s over!” said Evan, turning his head to look at Umbridge. “Professor, I hope you don’t hurt them two, I’ll take you to the Forbidden Forest to find that weapon.”

“As long as you do as I say, I won’t hurt anyone, dear,” said Umbridge proudly. “I can understand that you’ve all been deceived by Dumbledore. Yes, as long as you help me find that weapon, I will reward you.”

Hermione and Elaine gritted their teeth and took out the wands and handed them to Umbridge. Elaine pouted and stared at Evan.

Hermione was even more exaggerated. She actually scolded Evan a few times, as if she wanted to come over and beat him. It was indeed a performance worthy of a skilled actress.

“Okay, we have been delayed for too long. You three go ahead of me and lead the way,” Umbridge put away Hermione and Elaine’s wands and pointed her wand at the three of them. “Lead on…”

By this time, both Hermione and Elaine already knew what Evan planned to do.

Hermione was somewhat nervous. Evan had talked to her before and was ready to teach Umbridge a lesson before leaving Hogwarts.

But she didn’t expect it to happen so quickly. They had just discussed it at noon, and he started taking action in the evening.

Elaine, on the other hand, was completely excited. This girl had been planning to deal with Umbridge for quite some time.

As long as they left the castle and entered the quiet forest, there would be no constraints. Vampires attacking enemies didn’t necessarily require wands.

The four of them slowly moved forward along the deserted corridor and walked down the stairs into the entrance hall.

It was now a little past six o’clock, and the students were all having dinner in the Great Hall. The din of loud voices and the clatter of cutlery on plates echoed from out of the double doors to the Great Hall, but inside the entrance hall, there was still not a single person. It was really ideal not to have other people see them going out with Umbridge.

Although Evan didn’t intend to keep it a secret, he didn’t have to spend any time explaining it. If he met Harry, Ron, or Colin, the secret would probably be revealed.

The three of them were not as clever as Hermione and Elaine when it came to this kind of thing.

If everything went well, they should leave Hogwarts and rush to Norway tonight.

But Dumbledore must have known, as long as he was still at Hogwarts, nothing could be hidden from him.

Evan took the lead, followed by Hermione and Elaine, and Umbridge walked at the rear.

They walked straight out of the oak front doors and down the stone steps into the balmy evening air.

The sun was falling toward the tops of the trees in the Forbidden Forest, and Hermione gave Evan a push.

She deliberately increased her speed and strode across the grass, wanting to say a few words to Evan, but Umbridge didn’t give them a chance, she jogged to keep up.

Their long dark shadows rippled over the grass behind them like cloaks.

“What is that weapon?” Umbridge couldn’t help but ask Elaine. “What does it look like?”

In the story Evan told her, Elaine was sent by Nicolas Flamel to assist them in making that weapon.

She was proficient in Alchemy, but in fact, Elaine only knew how to drink dragon blood, which was a very precious alchemical material with a total of twelve uses.

“That weapon is cylindrical,” said Elaine blindly, making random gestures. This girl seemed to be thinking of a giant. “Pure black, very big, very thick, very hard, very strong, and it can cause huge damage under impact.”

“Is it very powerful?” Umbridge asked eagerly.

“Yes, it’s very powerful, very firm, and very impactful. You’ll love it!” Elaine nodded.

She revealed her sharp fangs, licking her lips with lingering interest. The Forbidden Forest was getting closer, and she couldn’t help but want to bite!

“Excellent,” said Umbridge with satisfaction, the more powerful and forceful the weapon, the better.

Anyway, before long, that thing would be hers.

“It’s hidden in Hagrid’s hut, is it?” said Umbridge eagerly.

“Of course not,” before Evan and Elaine could answer, Hermione said decisively. “Hagrid might have set it off accidentally, and that thing is very big. It can only be hidden in the Forbidden Forest and exposed when needed.”

“Yes,” said Umbridge, whose excitement seemed to be mounting. “Yes, Hagrid is indeed untrustworthy. Of course, that great half-breed oaf wouldn’t hesitate to do anything strange. Such an important weapon would need careful preservation.”

She smiled proudly, seemingly imagining what the weapon looked like and what it would be used for after getting it.

With such a powerful thing, she would definitely try to use it to see if it was as magical as Elaine said.

At this moment, Evan really felt that Hermione and Elaine were very skilled at telling lies.

Without a word from him, the two of them had already compiled this story perfectly, and Umbridge was no match for them.

Evan even felt that if they joined forces to deal with him, he wouldn’t stand a chance.

Girls, indeed, were the most dangerous creatures!

“Very good! I’m very satisfied with the information you provided. Now, stay ahead of me and don’t say anything!” Umbridge laughed for a while before remembering the serious business. “Well, go around Hagrid’s hut. No tricks, I’ll know.”

“Can we have our wands, then, if we’re going first?” Hermione asked. “Can you give me my wand back? There are many dangers in the Forbidden Forest…”

“No, I don’t think so, Miss Granger,” said Umbridge sweetly, waving her wand, “You don’t need a wand. If anything unexpected happens, I will take measures immediately.”

The unexpected things she was talking about were obviously not attacks they might face, but rather tricks Evan, Hermione, and Elaine might play.

To be honest, entering the Forbidden Forest without a wand was a very rash act.

But Evan was not really without a wand, and with his strength, he was enough to ensure the safety of himself, Hermione, and Elaine.
