Harry Potter and the Secret Treasures

“Not long, just a few hours,” said Elaine, raising her head to look at the grayish window. “After you passed out, Voldemort Apparated with that statue, and he didn’t even have time to attack you. Then, we returned here.”

As expected, Voldemort was bent on escaping at that time, and naturally he was not willing to waste time on Evan.

But what could be certain was that he must hate Evan desperately now.

“How’s your uncle?” Evan felt the emptiness of the magic power in his body.

“I don’t know; he’s receiving treatment,” said Elaine in a low voice, lowering her head again, “Dumbledore told me they will heal him. He asked me to stay here and not go anywhere. In fact, I don’t know where to go.”

She shook her head slightly, with a touch of sadness, seemingly a bit lost and unsure of what to do.

Thinking about it, too many things happened tonight, and it was an unprecedented change for Elaine.

Where the future lay and what should be done were really too profound questions for her.

No wonder she couldn’t sleep, and would rather do whatever she could, like helping Evan wash his body, to ease her own mind.

Caresius was severely injured and his life and death were uncertain. It was uncertain when he would wake up. The remaining vampires had all left Norway for the United States, avoiding the impact of the awakening monster breaking the seal in their family. Elaine was left alone here.

Voldemort somehow obtained something from them and managed to strike a deal with with the evil god. Although he lost to Dumbledore this time, and Evan inflicted severe damage to the statue of the evil god, their overall strength remained unaffected.

The Order of the Phoenix currently had the advantage, but the overall tone of things had not changed and it had become more troublesome than before.

Evan thought about this matter for a while, but still had no clue. Elaine sat quietly next to him.

It was not the right time to think about this matter. It didn’t make much sense and could only make Elaine more worried.

“Alright, stop thinking about it. With me here, everything will be fine,” said Evan. “Get some sleep first.”

He smiled at Elaine, and Elaine smiled back at him.

“I can’t sleep alone. Whenever I close my eyes, I think of those terrible things and the image of my uncle lying there…” Elaine paused and continued, “Evan, can I sleep with you?”

Evan blinked and stared at Elaine, not expecting that she would make such a request.

Although the current situation was special, and although Elaine was undoubtedly beautiful, was it not good to sleep with her directly?!

What Elaine wanted to express was very clear. Frightened little girls are often like this. She hoped that Evan would sleep with her, on the same bed, covered with the same quilt, hugging each other tightly, and wrapping their legs around, as if hugging a huge teddy bear…

But Evan was not a child anymore, and he feared that Elaine might impulsively bite him. What would he do then?

“Well, Elaine, I just woke up and don’t feel very sleepy. You go ahead and get some rest, and I’ll stay here with you,” said Evan, getting up from the bed and gesturing for Elaine to lie down on his bed. “Don’t worry, I won’t leave!”

Elaine lay down obediently, holding the quilt tightly with both hands, but her burgundy eyes were still staring at Evan.

In the dim candlelight, her eyes sparkled with many emotions.

“Evan, I have thought about meeting you again countless times, but I never thought that our first night would be like this. I…”

“Wait, what do you mean by ‘first night’?” Evan looked at her in surprise.

“I read it in a book. It’s the first night two people spend together.”

“Don’t read this kind of book again. Also, don’t say anything now and just go to sleep!” Evan sighed, wondering what kind of ideas this girl usually exposed herself to! And now, he hadn’t anticipated that the first night would turn out like this.

Elaine closed her eyes, but did not sleep. After a while, she secretly opened them and looked at Evan.

“What is it now?” Evan asked. “I will definitely not leave. As long as I’m here, nothing will happen.”

“I want some sweets, the kind you treated me to before. I’ve been looking for it for a long time but couldn’t find it.”

She was talking about Blood-flavoured lollipops, a new product from Honeydukes Sweet Shop two years ago, an impulsive and unsuccessful product.

They made a lot of it at the time, but sold very few, had a lot of inventory, and only a vampire like Elaine would appreciate that unusual taste.

“Wait for tomorrow, I’ll buy it for you!” said Evan. “Go to sleep now!”

Evan and Elaine’s “first night” ended like this, and nothing happened.

The next morning, the meeting held overnight by the Order of the Phoenix finally came to an end, and most people had a preliminary understanding of the current situation.

Overall, their current situation wasn’t too bad, but everything would have to wait for Caresius to wake up.

Only after he woke up could they know the necessary information and take the next step, these were Dumbledore’s exact words.

Under the current situation, it was indeed difficult for them to act rashly, and it was a blessing to rescue Caresius.

Snape would brew a potion for Caresius to heal his injuries.

Besides, he had a new task, which was to teach Harry Occlumency. This was also the most urgent matter at the moment to prevent Harry from being in contact with Voldemort.

Of course, Snape didn’t know this yet, having not attended last night’s meeting.

This was what Sirius told them, and he said he wanted to talk to Snape about it.

Things in Norway came to an end for the time being. After sending Evan and the others back, Dumbledore went alone to the vampires’ fortress and confirmed the seal there. The final conclusion was that there would be no problem for the time being, and only special magic could be used to enter it.

This magic was unique to vampires. Only Caresius could master it, and Voldemort could not break it.

It seemed that Dumbledore hadn’t been inactive. Going alone to destroy the statue of the evil god, he had simply misjudged the situation, thinking he had that kind of power.

In this case, Sirius and the others did not have to return to Norway, and Caresius and Elaine were allowed to stay here.

Those vampires who escaped had been contacted by the Order of the Phoenix, but they might not come back.

They were all afraid that the seal left by Salazar had been destroyed. If they continued to stay here, only destruction awaited them. Only by going to the United States, where mysterious powers could protect them, would they be safe.

Although Evan and the others didn’t know why, all vampires believed in this so firmly.

Apart from these matters, there was another issue. Since Elaine wanted to stay, it was fine during the Christmas holidays when everyone was at Number Twelve Grimmauld Place, but after the holidays ended, she couldn’t stay alone in this old house.

Dumbledore said that the main reason why Caresius was unconscious, in addition to his own injuries, was mainly because of the magic at work in his body. This was the magic that belonged to the Hall of Valor, left there by Grindelwald.

Therefore, Dumbledore planned to take Caresius to see Grindelwald after his injuries improved.

As for Elaine, he decided to let her go to Hogwarts as an exchange student from Beauxbatons…
