Harry Potter and the Secret Treasures

Chapter 1141: Delphi's Plan

This was the future after the defeat of Voldemort. Although there were various problems, the overall situation was developing in a good direction.

At least that was what Evan thought, but it was probably a nightmare for conservative pure-blood wizards.

Whether it was merging with Muggles or restricting the rights of pure-blood wizards, these changes had made their lives very difficult.

Like the magic addicts, they were a group that would be either eliminated or wiped out in the accelerating tide of this era’s transformation.

“You said that Evan Mason is the strongest wizard?” Riddle asked.

“Many people say that, and quite a few believe Dumbledore is still the strongest wizard, but he’s so old now and hasn’t shown his abilities for a long time. So, people generally think Mason is the strongest,” said Delphi. “Of course, that’s relative. If the Dark Lord were still around, there would be no Mason. In the final battle of Hogwarts, the Dark Lord easily defeated Dumbledore and other wizards…”

Without considering the future, Evan was indeed much weaker than Voldemort now, and there were still many areas that needed to be improved.

Although his strength was increasing rapidly, Voldemort also had the help of the evil god, and his strength was also increasing rapidly.

From what Delphi said, even Dumbledore was no match for Voldemort in the end.

The Elder Wand or the secret treasure of the Four Founders? Or perhaps The Book of Abraham and the magic of ancient wizards?

After knowing the result, Evan was even more curious about the process. What happened in the final battle that no one knew about?

How did such a powerful Voldemort end up defeated? And what was the fate of the evil god?

This creature from the void was immortal, and even the powerful ancient warlocks could only seal him.

“Well, let’s not talk about Evan Mason and those magic addicts!” Delphi looked around vigilantly and said in a low voice, “Let’s talk about the next plan. You two don’t know that as early as one night eighteen years ago, a battle took place in the Department of Mysteries of the Ministry of Magic. That battle destroyed all the Time-Turners in the hands of the Ministry of Magic. Since then, there have been no known Time-Turners!”

“But you just said that the Ministry found a new Time-Turner?”

“Yeah, just recently they confiscated an illegal Time-Turner from Theodore Nott,” Delphi paused. “I inquired about it. It’s not the kind of Time-Turner that can only go back a few hours, but one that can go back to a longer time. It’s an heirloom from the Nott family.”

“Theodore Nott?” Evan remembered that he was a member of the small gang headed by Malfoy.

Theodore was a guy who didn’t get along well with others. He was very smart, had excellent grades in Potions class, and never took the initiative to cause trouble for Evan and his friends.

His father was also a Death Eater and was sent by Voldemort to contact the giants.

“In ancient Greece, the ancestors of the Nott family were once priests of Cronos, a god in charge of time, so their family left behind that powerful Time-Turner,” said Delphi. “Once we get it, we can go back to the past.”

Cronos, the Titan of Time—Evan felt a connection. The Time-Turner he obtained was a part of Cronos’s power. If the Nott family’s Time-Turner also belonged to Cronos, the reason he was sent to this time period became clear!

This Time-Turner was their goal and the reason why they came here.

“Under the crackdown by the Ministry of Magic, all pure-blood Wizarding families are having a hard time,” Delphi continued, “According to the information I got, Theodore probably wanted to sell this heirloom for a good price, but as soon as he spread the word, he was targeted by that guy Black…”

“Are you talking about Sirius Black?”

“Who else? He’s the head of the Auror Office, a veteran Auror, a traditional hardliner. After the defeat of the Dark Lord, he personally arrested many Dark wizards. That guy has always had a keen nose, like a dog,” said Delphi angrily, waving her clenched fist vigorously. “Speaking of which, Theodore is also a complete idiot for trying to sell a Time-Turner so publicly…”

“So, the Time-Turner is in Black’s hands?”

“No, I have inquired. He handed the Time-Turner over to the Ministry. It should be in the hands of the Minister of Magic, Hermione Granger,” Delphi lowered her voice again. “Granger is a very by-the-book woman. She wouldn’t keep the Time-Turner on her or take it home; that would be illegal. So, the Time-Turner is still inside the Ministry. Since it’s not in the Department of Mysteries, it must be in her office…”

Hermione, Minister of Magic, Evan should have known it long ago.

All signs indicated that she was the Minister of Magic. Only she could steadfastly promote the reform of the Wizarding World.

No one else would, or could, do this.

But regarding Delphi’s claim that Hermione was strictly by the book, Evan could only think that was just an appearance…

“So, we have to go to the Minister’s office to take the Time-Turner?” Riddle asked.

“That’s my plan. But the Minister’s office is closely watched, unlike the Department of Mysteries where you just need to know how to get in,” said Delphi. “I plan to create a major distraction at the Ministry so we can slip in. Plus, I have a lock of the Minister’s hair. Using Polyjuice Potion will make this much easier. That’s my plan.”

“Hermione Granger, huh?!” Riddle said softly, looking at Evan with a faint smile. “I don’t think it’s that troublesome. Just let my dear cousin do it, he will easily deal with that woman and make her hand over the Time-Turner willingly.”

Evan glared at him. It was not a good idea for him to face Hermione eighteen years later.

When traveling through time, one of the most important things was not to let yourself see yourself.

Especially in this future, Evan and his companions couldn’t be seen by familiar people, as it could easily trigger a chain reaction.

Then again, since this was the future, the Evan of this time should know that he and Riddle would return.

Since he knew, then meeting him didn’t seem to matter…

However, since there had been no sign of his future self so far, Evan believed his future self probably wouldn’t show up.

On the contrary, out of caution, his future self would likely stay far away but ensure the necessary items were ready for him…

In other words, the Time-Turner should indeed be in Hermione’s office, waiting for him to retrieve it.
