The Shopkeeper of All Worlds in the British Wizarding World

Chapter 221 Competition and Celebration

Time passed unknowingly and it became February, but the cold weather did not change. However, Harry did not calm down when Ryan and his friends were tutoring him, but became more and more anxious. After asking, Ryan learned that the match with Ravenclaw was getting closer and closer, so he asked Professor McGonagall about the Firebolt whenever he had the chance, but Professor McGonagall always said that she had not finished checking it.

"I feel that no matter how important the game is, it can't be more important than human life. But I think Professor McGonagall is the head of the Gryffindor team, and she must want the Gryffindor team to win, so I guess she will definitely return the broom to you before the game." After listening to Ryan's comfort, Harry's face looked better.

Apart from Harry's matter, Scabbers also seemed to be in better condition during this period. It might be that the new environment made him feel that Sirius could not find him for the time being. This also made Ron very happy. One day after seeing Scabbers in the common room, he praised Ryan's medical skills and decided to let Scabbers stay with Ryan for a while.

Ryan, in order to ensure that Peter would not escape, wrapped a lot of red string around Banban's cage, and hung a jade thunder talisman on the red string. However, in the eyes of his roommates, Ryan also liked this mouse, so he decorated its cage with oriental style decorations. The roommates' discussion also made Peter misjudge, and he did not figure out what these things on the cage were.

Sleeping in a cage like this is no different from sleeping in the middle of a pile of explosives. If Peter knew what this was, he would definitely find a way to escape from the cage.

It was during a weekend practice in mid-February that Hermione finally summoned her physical Patronus. In the warm Room of Requirement, as the spell sounded, a shiny silver otter rushed out from the head of her wand and jumped around her.

"It does look pretty, doesn't it?" said Hermione, looking at it with great pleasure.

"It's really furry and cute." Ryan nodded and reminded seriously: "The next step is to work hard towards actual combat. After all, the Patronus Charm is used to deal with Dementors. Casting a Patronus in a safe and bright room is completely different from actual combat."

Seeing Hermione nod seriously, Ryan asked a question he had recently discovered out of some curiosity: "Why do I feel that after returning to Hogwarts, your agility in dodging has improved much faster than before in these few practices?"

Because Ryan felt that Hermione's skills had improved by leaps and bounds during these few practice sessions. At least now, except for a little less experience in physical skills, she was close to the feeling of a novice assassin who had been trained for a year in his inherited memory.

You have to know that Hermione has only been practicing the assassin's physical skills for less than a year, and she only practices when she has time. According to common sense, she should not be able to reach her current level anyway.

"I don't know either, but I guess it might be the power of the gift in my blood that I received during our last adventure. Because since then, I found that my physical condition is much better than before. Many of the movements in the exercise you taught me that I couldn't do before are suddenly now possible." Hermione thought for a moment and replied.

After hearing this answer, Ryan also checked his body and found that the last blood gift would indeed slowly improve the recipient's physique. However, because he had received multiple enhancements before, the effect of the gift was not as obvious as it was on Hermione, so he naturally ignored it.

"Maybe this gift has the same effect as the blood of the Ream bull. Doesn't the book Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them say that anyone who drinks the blood of the Ream bull will have increased strength? I think this gift is similar." Ryan found that Hermione seemed a little uneasy after hearing his question, so he quickly comforted her with a real example. Because Ryan had to help Harry and the twins review their lessons in addition to studying various knowledge recently. So he felt that his life was a little confusing. When Harry took his Firebolt and celebrated with Ron in the common room one day that he would use this broom to participate in the game this Saturday, which was tomorrow, Ryan suddenly realized that the second Quidditch game of the year was about to begin.

The next morning, Harry brought the Firebolt to the school hall for breakfast, which caused a sensation. Except for the Slytherin students, students from other colleges crowded around and tried to get close to the legendary broom.

This broom is truly legendary, especially when the person who owns it is Harry Potter, who is extremely talented at it.

The game started at 11 o'clock, and it was found that the Firebolt under Harry's control was much better than others in terms of speed, climbing rate and turning radius. Especially Zhang Qiu, the Ravenclaw Seeker, she couldn't catch up with Harry at all when riding Comet.

Finally, Harry shot a blurry, half-formed, silver flesh Patronus in one direction, then caught the Snitch and ended the game.

"I never thought that Slytherin would try to influence Harry by disguising as Dementors. I really don't understand their self-proclaimed noble bloodline." After the victory, everyone returned to the common room to celebrate. After participating in the celebration for a while, Ryan and Hermione, who didn't like the noise, sat in a corner of the common room. Hermione didn't understand the methods used by Malfoy today.

"The darkness behind the nobles is much greater than that of ordinary people like us. After all, they need to protect so many interests, which are not easy to achieve with normal means alone. I am surprised that Malfoy and his men are so crude in their methods. They really don't seem like people who have received the proper elite education."

Hermione was a little surprised to hear Ryan's answer. After all, Britain was not like Ryan's homeland, which had swept these corrupt nobles into the garbage dump of history and exposed their dark side. In the minds of ordinary British people, nobles were the epitome of nobility and moral role models.

In Hermione's opinion, a pure-blood family like the Malfoys who controlled a lot of resources should be like the British aristocracy, and should act like gentlemen even when they were hostile.

But now that Ryan said that, she realized that Malfoy, whether it was snitching in the midnight duel in the first grade, calling Creevey a mudblood in the second grade, or his aggression in front of Buckbeak this year, or his little tricks at the Quidditch scene just now, all fully demonstrated that at least some members of pure-blood families, such as Draco Malfoy, not only lacked the proper sense of nobility, but were even closer to street thugs in their behavior.

"Well, I think I made a wrong judgment." Hermione admitted directly that she had made some mistakes in her understanding of certain issues.

After discussing this issue, Ryan took out his notebook and began to summarize the key points in the textbooks of various subjects. Hermione also took out her textbook to do her homework for the Ancient Magic Rune class.
