The Shopkeeper of All Worlds in the British Wizarding World

Chapter 141 Shopping Trip (Additional chapter for the reward from Zhenwoheshan)
As time went by, the excitement of treasure hunting slowly faded, and life returned to normal. One day during breakfast, Ryan was eating a boiled egg. The announcer on TV suddenly started reading a new news that immediately attracted his attention.

"…The public must be aware that Blake is armed and extremely dangerous. A hotline has been set up and anyone who knows Blake's whereabouts must report it immediately." Then a photo of a man with a thin face and tangled, foot-long hair appeared, looking a little fierce.

"It's a bit strange. Shouldn't these kinds of jailbreaks be reported on the prison from which they came out? Why wasn't this reported? Could this person be a special prisoner from the military or intelligence department?" Mr. Lambert said as he spread jam on his bread.

"This man is a wizard. I saw him before when I was reading old newspapers in the school library about the history of the wizarding world. Legend has it that he killed more than a dozen people in one go."

"Oh my God, it's so dangerous." Mother Sally exclaimed.

"But the strange thing is that after killing someone, he didn't run away. Instead, he stayed where he was and waited to be arrested. In the end, he was sent to the wizard's prison without being tried."

"Without trial?" Mr. Lambert noticed the word in Ryan's words. "That means he may not have committed a crime. He may just be an unlucky guy who happened to be at the murder scene. So you have to be careful when you go to school there. I feel that the wizarding world makes people feel unsafe."

"Okay, continue eating. I think my son is just going to school and he wouldn't have anything to do with this wanted criminal." Sally shouted a little unhappily as she watched the father and son start discussing the issue of the murderer.

"Okay, wife (mom), let's shut up and eat now." Ryan and his son looked at each other and quickly ate their food.

Ryan felt that he might be a fake protagonist because the rest of the holiday was dull and he did not meet Sirius in dog form, which the protagonists in many fan fictions would meet.

In the last week of the holiday, Ryan and Hermione took the subway to Diagon Alley to buy things. As soon as they opened the door leading to Diagon Alley on the back wall of the Leaky Cauldron, they heard someone greet them.

"Ryan, Hermione, here!" Looking in the direction of the voice, they saw Harry Potter sitting in the bright sunshine outside Florin's Ice Cream Shop, with quills and parchment piled on the table in front of him, as well as a box of nut ice cream.

"Oh, nice to see you again. Brother Hai said in the letter that you will go to Brazil for exchange study in the first half of this school year. Is this true?"

"It's true. A total of 12 students were selected to go to Brazil for exchange. I heard that the Ministry of Magic wants to resume international exchange activities that had been interrupted for more than ten years due to the war, and at the same time lay a demonstration for similar exchange activities in the future." Ryan explained to Harry.

"I really envy you for being able to travel to such faraway places. I can't even go to Hogsmeade this year." Harry said a little frustrated.

"You are very lucky. Longbottom wrote me a letter asking me about some difficult summer homework and told me that you blew up your aunt during the vacation. To be honest, I find it unbelievable that you did not receive any punishment under this circumstance. After all, according to Longbottom's description, minors who release magic outside of school should at least receive a warning." Ryan said seriously.

"I didn't mean to do that," Harry said. "I just lost control because she was insulting my parents so badly."

"I understand, but you'd better think twice before doing these things next time. You were just lucky that you weren't punished this time, but we can't pin all our hopes on luck."

"Okay, it's over, Harry is fine." Ryan saw that Hermione wanted to lecture him again, so he quickly changed the subject: "We still have to buy a lot of books this year, I think we should hurry up." "I'll go with you, after all, I've been in Diagon Alley for more than a week." Harry immediately put the paper and pen on the table into his schoolbag, then jumped up and led the way.

They first went to the potion shop to replenish potion supplies, and then went to Madam Malkin's robe shop to buy a few new robes, as well as the dress robes they needed for this study tour. It must be said that everyone grows very fast after entering puberty, and the old school uniforms are no longer short enough to wear.

Even Ryan had to make a new set of assassin clothes for himself using the skin of a deathclaw in the Fallout world, and at the same time updated the hidden blade and hook to adapt to the new body. Especially the hidden blade, the metal left near the center of the glowing sea explosion was purified as the raw material, and the runes were inlaid on it using the gold and silver inlay process. This also gave the hidden blade a certain ability to resist magic.

Finally, they went to Flourish and Blotts to buy new textbooks. When they went to Brazil for exchange this time, they would get textbooks there after arriving in Brazil. However, Ryan and Hermione still needed Hogwarts textbooks for self-study.

As soon as he walked to the door of Flourish and Blotts, Ryan found that the window that used to display various large golden books that looked very profound was now filled with an iron cage. In the cage, there were more than a hundred large books with green covers and golden titles piled up in a ball.

Walking into the bookstore, the manager came up and asked, "Are you Hogwarts students here to buy textbooks?" "Yes," Ryan said, "We want two copies of "The Monster Book of Monsters," Ryan said as he looked at the list of books.

"I really don't know which professor wanted these books. They were delivered directly in a cage when they were purchased. It's hard to pick them up. Not to mention that they have been fighting non-stop since we received the goods. I swear I will never purchase such books again." While complaining, the manager put on a pair of thick gloves, picked up a thick, knotty cane, and walked towards the cage.

Ryan used magic to sense the books in the cage, and then suddenly said to the manager, "I have a magic that can temporarily calm them down. Can I try it?"

"A Stunning Spell won't work. If it's too weak, it will only anger them, and if it's too strong, it will set the book on fire." The manager turned his head and looked at Ryan. "Are you sure you can do it?"

"If you damage the book, I will pay for it." Ryan said confidently. Seeing Ryan's confidence, the manager stepped aside and made a gesture of invitation.

Ryan walked to the cage, drew a golden rune in the air with his wand, and then chanted a spell in ancient Viking: "Calm down." As soon as he finished speaking, all the books immediately stopped fighting, fell to the bottom of the cage one by one, and lay there quietly.

"Oh, great, come over here and tie up these books." The manager asked the clerk to tie up the books quickly, and then said to Ryan, "I'll give you three a 30% discount on your purchases today."

Ten minutes later, the three of them walked out of the bookstore with the books they bought. Looking at their bags, it was clear that they had bought a lot of books. Hermione and Ryan bought several reference books in addition to their textbooks, and even Harry bought a book about Quidditch.

Besides the bookstore manager, Ryan was the happiest person because he received two more deflection points after receiving the reminder. When they passed by the window, they could see that the cage was gone and replaced by a display stand and the Monster Book of Monsters tied tightly with ropes.

I am really busy now because I am busy with the reward for "Zhenwoheshan". After all, I post regularly after saving the manuscripts. If I add more chapters, I have to adjust everything. But since I have said it, I must do it. It's troublesome.
