Although Evan himself would never use this black magic, this book was indeed very informative, and the black magic recorded in it inspired him a lot .
On top of the Horcruxes and the three unforgivable curses, there were other dark magic that Evan had never heard of before . Now, with this book, Evan knew exactly how to deal with them if Voldemort or one of his followers ever used any of them .
He read some more and then, he raised his head .
He suddenly remembered that it was not the time for leisurely reading . Dumbledore and Sirius should be back soon, so he didn’t have much time .
They won’t let him touch these black magic books, especially the “Secrets of Dark Art” in his hand that also contained the method of making Horcruxes .
He couldn’t read it there, he had to take these black magic books in front of him away, and study them thoroughly when no one was there .
Evan frowned at the black magic books in front of him . They were too big and too thick to be carried easily .
Just hiding and carrying “Secrets of the Darkest Art” was hard enough . It should be impossible to carry off all the other books, but he had to find a way around it .
The best method would be the Undetectable Extension Charm that magnifies the space . Using it on a carry-on backpack or handbag allows one to put things that he need to carry with him, regardless of size or weight .
However, this spell was very complicated and extremely difficult to use . Evan had tried it several times before but he was not successful . It should be impossible for him to do it in a hurry .
He thought for a moment and pulled out his wand .
Since the Undetectable Extension Charm should not work, he was going to use the Shrinking Charm .
A few days ago, when he met Aragog in the Forbidden Forest, Evan originally intended to use this spell, but it was not successful at the time .
When he returned to the castle, he practiced it many times and mastered it completely .
“Reducio!”
With Evan’s word, the wand glowed purple . The heavy and thick magic book on his knees quickly shrank to only half the size of his palm .
Evan nodded with satisfaction and looked at it . The current size of this book was very small, but its weight had not changed . If it was not because of Reducio, it would be difficult to believe that this kind of pocket magic book would have this weight .
He put the shrunken Secrets of the Darkest Art into his arm, and then selected a few magic books to shrink them down until he could no longer hold anymore .
Shortly after Evan had finished, Sirius came back with Dumbledore .
Dumbledore wore a long black travel cloak with Slytherin’s locket in his hand, and his face was more serious than ever .
“Professor, we just heard Kreacher say…”
“Regulus is in that cave, and we have to…”
“Regulus is in that cave, and we have to…”
Seeing Dumbledore, Harry and Hermione rushed over, muttering .
Evan also walked slowly and stood beside Sirius . He was afraid to go too fast, and let the magic books hidden in his arms fall out .
“Harry, Hermione, I know, Sirius has told me everything on the road . ” Even though he was talking to Harry and Hermione, Dumbledore’s eyes were fixed on Evan . His light blue eyes were full of scrutiny . He said slowly, “To tell the truth, I did not expect that you would actually discover and destroy this thing . ”
“It was just a coincidence . The Slytherin emblem on this Locket was so striking, I was curious to pick it up and look at it . I didn’t expect it…”
“And then, you happened to wear the Basilisk’s fang on you . It’s an amazing coincidence, Evan!” Dumbledore gave the Locket back to Evan, “But I have to thank you, thanks to all your coincidences and efforts, the Locket has been destroyed thoroughly, and the things inside have disappeared completely . ”
Evan stepped back half a step and hang the Locket around his neck .
Looking at Dumbledore’s wrinkled face, he wasn’t sure if he noticed anything . Under Dumbledore’s gaze, Evan felt cornered, and all his secrets were known .
Without talking, he seemed to have seen the Dark magic books hidden in his arms .
“I don’t understand, Professor . ” Harry’s expression was confused . He and Hermione couldn’t understand what Dumbledore was saying to Evan . “What is this Locket? Why does Voldemort want to hide it? And why did Regulus also secretly replace it?”
“Like last year’s diary, this is a Dark Magic item made by Tom Riddle himself . It is very evil and very important . Tom probably never thought that Regulus would take it from the cave under his nose . ” There seemed to be a glimmer of disappointment in Dumbledore’s tone . “In my opinion, he certainly had a blind confidence in his defensive magic . He didn’t think that Kreacher would leave the cave . He had always been like this and never wanted to pay attention to such things . ”
“Professor, what is this Locket?”
“If I’m not mistaken, it should be a Horcrux . ”
“If I’m not mistaken, it should be a Horcrux . ”
“Horcrux!”
Harry’s face was even more confused, and he turned his head to look at Hermione .
Hermione shook her head, and she didn’t know what the Horcrux was . She hadn’t even heard of it before .
Unlike them, Evan was really surprised . He did not expect Dumbledore to say it directly . He thought that the he would keep it secret .
It seemed that after seeing Tom Riddle’s Diary and Slytherin’s Locket, Dumbledore had confirmed that Voldemort had made Horcruxes . If not, if he had a new plan, he would not tell them about it .
As for Sirius, after hearing Dumbledore’s words, his face became pale . Although he had his own speculations about the Locket before, he never imagined that this thing would be a Horcrux .
Sirius had heard of this ancient, evil magic .
Even if the specific use of the Horcrux was not known, there was no doubt that it was very important .
No wonder Regulus would rather lose his life to steal it from Voldemort .
Thinking of what his brother had done, Sirius, who was originally in sorrow, felt infinite pride in his heart; he was proud of Regulus .
“Professor…” Harry continued to ask, he wanted to know what the Horcrux was .
But Dumbledore didn’t seem to want to answer this question . He looked down at Kreacher and continued . “I just heard Sirius say that this Locket was originally hidden in a cave by Tom Riddle . I want to go to that cave and take a look; there may be clues left there . Would you like to help us, Kreacher?”
“Professor…” Harry continued to ask, he wanted to know what the Horcrux was .
But Dumbledore didn’t seem to want to answer this question . He looked down at Kreacher and continued . “I just heard Sirius say that this Locket was originally hidden in a cave by Tom Riddle . I want to go to that cave and take a look; there may be clues left there . Would you like to help us, Kreacher?”
“Yes, sir,” Kreacher replied hoarsely in a bullfrog voice . “Kreacher is willing to lead you to the cave . But Master Regulus…”
“We will bring Regulus back . ” Dumbledore looked at Kreacher . “No doubt, he is a hero and deserves to be honored like one . ”
“Hold on, Professor, we’re going too,” Harry said quickly, not continuing to ask about what the Horcrux was .
He was afraid that he said too much and lost the opportunity to accompany Dumbledore .
“I can take you three together . ” Dumbledore’s eyes wandered between them and then finally were set on Evan . “But you must promise me to keep this secret before I agree . You can’t tell anyone else, including Mr . Weasley, is that OK?”
Evan nodded; Hermione hesitated, and then nodded as well .
“We can’t even tell Ron?” Harry looked a little hesitant .
“Certainly . ”
They looked at each other for a moment, and Harry nodded . “Okay, Professor . ”
“Very well, I think we can leave now . ” Dumbledore turned and pulled his wand out .
