Chapter 718: New Vampire
🕑 Added 2020-02-09 19:42:17 +0000 UTCMuggles thought that was a natural phenomenon, but it was actually not the case at all. The big whirlpool was made by magic.
Like the Stonehenge Temple and the sunken ruins in the swamp, there were ruins left by ancient warlocks, in the deepest part of the whirlpool.
From the leaked magic, wizards had speculated about the internal situation of the ruins, and concluded that there was an unimaginable danger inside.
Of course, no one knew what the interior of the whirlpool looked like.
None of the people who had gone in could come out alive, not even their bodies could be found.
In addition to giants, Scyllas, and ancient ruins, the sea between Sicily and Sardinia and Corsica had always been the focus of attention, because it was thought to be considered the home of the famous sunken city of Atlantis.
Atlantis was the most mysterious and controversial lost ancient city in history!
Whether it was really Atlantis or not remained to be verified, but there was indeed an ancient city that sank to the bottom of the sea.
At this moment, Evan, who was sitting on the hospital bed, had no clear idea that in the near future, he would have to enter the ancient city deep in the seabed and encounter great trouble beyond imagination.
Harry and Ron were still trying to get more information from Hagrid.
Hagrid was unexpectedly reserved this time, and didn't reveal anything, but soon he couldn't resist and had to find an excuse to say goodbye and leave.
He told everyone that he had an appointment with Madame Maxime for afternoon tea. The two of them had developed very fast recently, and the bad news of Voldemort's resurrection might lead to a good thing.
A week or so had passed before Evan, Harry, and Ron were allowed to leave the hospital and returned to the Gryffindor Tower.
During this period, many things had changed again.
First of all, Cedric had returned, but he did not show up. Instead, his parents came to handle the drop-out formalities for him.
Speculation had become reality, Cedric had become a vampire!
The Diggorys stayed in Dumbledore's office for a long time before they left. It was said they were going to send Cedric to the United States.
His status was not suitable to appear before the Ministry of Magic and the public, and he could only start over where nobody knew about the matter.
The Diggorys had a relative in Forks, a small town in the United States. They were willing to accept Cedric and agreed to let him live with them.
Of course, the main reason they were willing to accept Cedric was that they were Muggles and didn’t know anything about the wizarding world.
Cedric would be placed in Forks’s local Muggle High School. His age was just right for that.
It was hoped he could slowly accept his new identity. The wizarding world in the United States was different from that in Europe. The Magical Congress of the United States of America and the general public had a more tolerant attitude towards Dark creatures. Vampires, werewolves and other creatures lived much better there.
As for Caresius, there was still not much news from him.
According to the information disclosed by Cedric, he and his people were about to return to the Nordic region to do something.
Despite all the unpleasant things that had happened, they did not fall out with Voldemort.
Caresius was still expecting Voldemort to successfully restore his power to help them solve that trouble. Vampires were also of special use to Voldemort, so both sides conveniently returned to peace in this weird atmosphere.
In this case, naturally he would not take the initiative to contact Evan.
The day after the news of Cedric's return was confirmed, Evan and his friends walked into the Great Hall and found that it was exceptionally unusual. The usual decorations on the walls were missing, showing great solemnity, and the House tables were also unusually full.
The real Mad-Eye Moody was now sitting next to Dumbledore, his wooden leg and his magical eye were back in place. He was extremely twitchy, jumping every time someone spoke to him.
Poor man, Evan knew he couldn't blame him. Moody’s fear of attack was bound to have been increased by his ten-month imprisonment in his own trunk.
Professor Karkaroff’s chair on his left was empty. No one knew where he was now, and whether Voldemort had caught up with him.
At Slytherin's long table, most of Durmstrang students were expressionless and didn't seem to care about what had happened to the headmaster of their school.
Evan saw Malfoy whispering to a strong Durmstrang student, and he immediately became alert. Malfoy must have known the news of Voldemort's return and might even be impatient to prepare to join the Death Eaters. He was so close to him now. Was he ready to do something?!!
At the staff table, Madame Maxime was still there, and she was sitting next to Hagrid. They were talking quietly together.
Further along the table, sitting next to Professor McGonagall, was Snape.
When Evan and Harry came in, his eyes lingered on both of them for a moment. His expression was difficult to read. He looked as sour and unpleasant as ever.
Being able to come back alive meant that he had regained Voldemort's trust. It was unknown what price Dumbledore had paid to convince Voldemort that Snape was still his own man.
As a spy against Voldemort, Snape was not in an easy situation. He had to risk his life and fight Voldemort and the Death Eaters with great wisdom, pretending that he had never really took Dumledore’s side, but had been lurking like Voldemort himself, biding his time.
Now, the Great Hall was full of pent up whispers, and people were talking about many recent events.
A lot of people were pointing at Evan and Harry, but when they looked back at them, they all hurriedly avoided their eyes.
Dumbledore did not allow anyone to ask Evan and Harry. The oppressive atmosphere in the school was almost at its limit!
Everyone wanted to figure out what had happened, rather than continue to suffer like that. Especially yesterday, the scene when Mr. Diggory and his wife arrived at the school was seen, and the students all speculated that Cedric was dead. Otherwise, how could they have no news about him for so long?
Cedric was very popular at school, and many people were upset about it.
Especially Hufflepuff students, the atmosphere at their table was extremely depressing, and their faces were the saddest and palest in the entire Great Hall.
When Professor Dumbledore stood up at the staff table, the Great Hall suddenly became quiet.
"You should all have heard about what happened recently. I have a lot to say to you all!" said Dumbledore. "First of all, about Cedric Diggory, his parents just completed the suspension procedure for him."
Translator note: Curiously, the events of the movie Twilight took place in a small American town, Forks ^^
