Harry Potter and the Secret Treasures

Chapter 1656: Moving Toward Darkness

Harry's scar seemed to have been torn again, and the real scenery around him disappeared.

He is Voldemort, and the skinny old wizard across the street is looking at him with contempt.

“Kill me, Voldemort, I'm happy to die! But my death will not bring you what you are looking for... there are many things you don't understand...”

Harry felt Voldemort's anger and his ice-cold stabbing echoed in a tiny cell.

“I have attained immortality, immortality. ”

“No, you're closer to failure, Voldemort, and all you get is what we've abandoned.” The old man grinned contemptuously, "You lost yourself in the pursuit of power, you thought you had escaped death, but lost a more precious soul; you thought you had gained power, but you were actually so fragile, you lost yourself in the darkness while you tried to understand endless darkness; you made an agreement with that existence in the darkness, and you were doomed to perish..."

Voldemort's anger erupted and he extended his wand to the old man, a green light full of cells.

The old man's weak body twisted the struggle in front of Harry and could not bear to make a painful cry.

Diamond Curse!

The pain the old man suffered seemed to pass on to Harry, as if he had also been caught in the heart curse, and the pain spread rapidly all over his body based on the scar.

Harry was awakened, and he opened his eyes and felt like his bones were about to be torn apart.

He gasped and calmed down after a long time.

Harry didn't understand why Voldemort was torturing a strange old man, and what that old man was saying.

By then, the sky had darkened down and through the broken walls above, Harry had seen the night sky.

The night was so deep that it covered everything, with only a few stars gleaming with tenacious light.

The fire shakes the dim light in the night breeze and seems likely to dissipate at any moment. Through the shaking fire, Harry discovered that all the ghosts he had seen before waking up had disappeared, and they seemed to have finally lost interest in him, not circling around him, leaving him alone here alone.

Suddenly, a strange voice rang out.

“Ron, is that you...” Harry muttered, feeling his lips dry.

Not Ron, he saw a black bird emerge from the night sky and gently landed on a stone above his head.

This is a... raven!

Ravenclaw's logo, but Harry soon became confused about his idea that Ravenclaw's logo was a raven?!

He felt confused, as if he had been in Hogwarts for so long, that he had not yet figured out what the Ravenclaw College logo was. Although Ravenclaw's flag has always appeared as a sky-blue eagle in official school settings, privately most students consider the Ravenclaw College logo to be a raven.

Strange, the logo of the other three colleges is always so obvious, golden lions, silver-green snakes, brown badgers...

Only Ravenclaw College's logo is vague and confusing.

In the minds of many, that frequent sky-blue eagle is always replaced by a mysterious raven.

It's like there's this strange magic that's constantly making an impact.

Strange, Harry couldn't help but think, how could he have never realized this before?!

Which realm really belongs to Ravenclaw, the eagle and the raven, the blue sky and the pitch black night sky?!

..............................................................................................................................................................

Ivan tried to hold his breath, and there was a rotten smell in the air, as if something was rotting and dying.

He doesn't like the smell, just like he doesn't like the place.

It was a wilderness before him, except that there were no plants or any other signs of life, and the land was the kind of dead black without shine, as if it had been corroded by something, and Evan opened his hand, and the soil without stickiness slipped from between his fingers, as if it were a dead life.

From the sight alone, it's hard to imagine what used to be a vibrant giant lake.

As the oldest gathering area of witches, this lake used to be surrounded by many ancient families of witches, like Hogsmeade or the Godric Valley, who lived on the land for a long time, including many famous families of witches and wizards, most notably the Ravenclaw family.

This used to be a sacred place for magic and life until that terrible disaster happened for no good reason...

Ivan recalls the intelligence information on the map provided by Lucius Malfoy, where the smell of decay in the air grew stronger.

He choked and coughed a few times, as if something unpleasant had been inhaled.

It's getting darker and darker and the sun is setting, and it seems to be getting into the night earlier than anywhere else in the UK.

Behind Ivan, the sun disputed the visible speed of the naked eye disappeared and was devoured by the night.

Soon, black became the main tone of the area.

According to the map provided by Lucius Malfoy, Ivan is now on the edge of the core area of the place of death.

Moving forward, you can enter the former Ravenclaw and many other Wizards' homes, where the Black Witch is now leading hundreds of Black Wizards to excavate. Upon learning the exact location of the place of death from Lucius' mouth, Ivan did not stay too long at Malfoy's estate, he sent Dobby the elf home to report the letter, he came here alone in a phantom, he came looking for the missing Harry and Ron, and it would be better if he could stop the Black Witch from moving here.

Because of Harry, there are certain things that Ivan needs to know more about than Malfoy, including what the black witch is looking for in the place of death, Malfoy has been searching for so long and knows only that it has to do with the door of death, but Ivan knows that she wants to find a spell here that opens the door of death.

This time the opponent was a mysterious and dangerous black witch and a raven claw, but Ivan had great confidence in himself.

After all, he passed the test left by Ms. Ravenclaw, which she herself acknowledged.

But when he really came here, he realized that his earlier thoughts seemed a little too optimistic, he knew that the information was not particularly helpful to the current situation, and Ivan felt ominous and dangerous in the dark. He was suddenly somewhat hesitant, perhaps it was not a wise choice to come here at night.

Evan can feel that since he came here, there has been a strange force calling him forward.

He couldn't be sure what it meant, and something seemed to be waiting for him, but that intense power of darkness and death was making Ivan resist.

Pressing the anxiety in his heart, Ivan took out his wand and marched towards darkness...
