Harry Potter and the Secret Treasures

Chapter 1014: Lost Elaine

This place was very close to the Arctic Circle. Even though thick clothing separated him from the frigid cold of the wilderness, the bone-chilling cold still penetrated Evan’s marrow.

Evan didn’t like this place. Whether it was the moon in the sky that had been obscured by dark clouds, the light blue glacier-like ground, or the life-and-death choice in front of him, it all gave him an unpleasant feeling.

He didn’t know how the Vikings in the past survived in such an environment, and why Durmstrang chose the school in such a place. He could feel the evil and violent magic in the darkness. There were forces on this land that they didn’t understand, unfriendly forces.

Even if they choose the right gate, what awaited them might not be easy. One Dark Lord was enough to cause a headache, not to mention the Dark wizard Grindelwald who might be even more powerful than him, the evil god hiding in the darkness and gradually recovering, and the unfamiliar, mysterious, powerful forces buried beneath this land.

It was hard to imagine that a few hours ago; they were discussing matters about a girl in the warm and safe castle.

Evan silently reviewed the entire situation and began to doubt whether Voldemort would show Harry something so important.

This matter involved the statue of the evil god, which was now his new Horcrux, Voldemort’s most crucial secret. The attack on Mr. Weasley could not be comparable to this.

‘Maybe it’s because he ‘s just made the Horcrux and his soul is not yet stable, …’ Evan speculated, ‘… allowing Harry to see something he shouldn’t have seen.’

But it was also possible, as Mad-Eye said, that they had been intentionally lured to this place to be killed using the magic left by Grindelwald.

Dumbledore was still observing every arch in the area Harry had pointed out, hoping to find something unusual among these gates so that he could make the right choice. Evan knew that the key to this lay in the changes in magical energy.

But he didn’t know what the specific differences were. He moved closer to prepare to learn this technique from Dumbledore.

Evan didn’t dare to disturb Dumbledore. He walked to the other side and experienced the differences between each gate.

The blue light mist spread around with the boulders as the main body, and strange magic power emanated from it.

This was a very powerful magic that involved a considerable degree of space theory.

Suddenly, Evan heard a rustling sound, and something was hidden in the crevice between two rocks not far away.

He hurriedly raised his wand, hesitated, and then approached cautiously. The dragon that had flown by left a deep impression on Evan. There were many dangerous creatures nearby, and there might be something dangerous in there.

The space between the rocks was not large, so it was unlikely to be any large animal.

If the environment here wasn’t so harsh, there might be a lost kitten inside.

Evan walked over, and then, under the light of the wand, he saw a pair of eyes peering cautiously from the crevice in the rocks; burgundy eyes, pure, bright, and lively, with an unmistakable hint of panic and unease.

Their eyes met, and a familiar feeling emerged from the bottom of Evan’s heart. He had only seen one person with such eyes.

The next second, a red magical light shot out from the crack in the rocks.

Evan’s wand quickly flicked upward, colliding with the red light. A brilliant spark flashed, then immediately returned to calm.

“Elaine, is that you?” Evan asked hurriedly, both the eyes and the magic were familiar to him.

This girl really hadn’t made any progress, and she was still using the same tricks she’d used two years ago to deal with him.

Back then, Evan had been easily subdued by Elaine, but now this magic was nothing to him.

“Evan!” A weak, slightly hoarse girl’s voice came from within the rocks.

A few pieces of rubble were pushed aside by her, and Evan saw Elaine hiding in a small space between the rocks.

She wore a pink straw hat on her head and her body was shaking slightly.

Just like that Christmas night two years ago, he saw the girl huddled in the dark doorway, humming a slow-paced, beautiful song in a low voice alone. At this moment, Elaine was curled up in the crevice between the rocks like a small animal.

She had grown a bit taller, but she was still slender and thin, giving no impression of malnutrition. With her exquisite doll-like face and burgundy eyes, she looked pleasing and enchanting.

She was wearing loose black robes, with the cuffs rolled up several layers to prevent them from falling off.

There were still many bloodstains on her chest, all from accidentally dripping blood. It seemed that she still ate badly.

She was frozen, and her bloodless face was abnormally pale. She held the wand in both hands and placed it in front of her.

Seeing Evan who suddenly appeared, tears uncontrollably streamed down her face.

Indeed, she was like a lost kitten, stranded here, waiting for rescue.

“Evan, you…” Elaine’s voice was very low, and she was interrupted before she finished speaking.

“What happened?” Harry, Sirius, and Moody heard the noise and all rushed over.

Only Dumbledore remained unmoved, still standing in place and carefully observing the arches.

He seemed to have noticed Elaine’s presence long ago and was not surprised.

“Who’s this girl?” Moody said cautiously, his magical eye rotating rapidly and scanning the rocks. “Why is she here?”

“She’s my friend, Elaine Slytherin!” Evan explained, “Caresius’s niece.”

He also didn’t know why Elaine was here and hiding among the rocks.

Logically speaking, shouldn’t she be in the vampire’s lair?

Elaine pushed aside the rubble in front of her but did not crawl out from the crevice in the rocks. She just looked at Evan, tears uncontrollably streaming down her face.

Her eyes shone with both unease and joy, two completely different emotions mixed together.

Elaine moved, as if she had no strength to stand up. Soon, Evan knew that she was frozen and unable to move easily.

He sighed; she really was a person with zero survival skills. Couldn’t she even perform a Warming Charm?!

He waved his wand to separate the rocks and took Elaine out.

Evan had often carried Hermione and gained a considerable amount of experience, becoming more skilled. Unlike Harry, who still got nervous when touching a girl.

Compared with Hermione, Elaine seemed to have no weight, and there was not even a temperature on her body.

Hanging on Evan, he felt like she habitually glanced at the veins on his neck…

In fact, this girl had always wanted to bite Evan’s neck and suck some of his blood. She had never forgotten about it.

Of course, in her words, this was the First Embrace, and it was also a good thing for Evan to become a vampire.

And this was Elaine’s first time biting someone, and she couldn’t wait to taste Evan’s blood!

The girl wholeheartedly wanted to give Evan her first time, but this matter left a shadow in Evan’s heart.

As soon as he saw Elaine now, he felt like she was going to bite him.

Of course, Elaine was very cute and beautiful, and it was her first time, but Evan didn’t want to be bitten and have a blood exchange…

Mainly because he didn’t want to bleed; it was too barbaric. If it were some other form of interaction without bloodshed on his part, he wouldn’t object.
