Chapter 257: Minor Accidents and Peace (Please subscribe, please bookmark, please vote)

"Get up, emergency." Ryan was sleeping soundly when he suddenly heard a roar in his ear. He subconsciously grabbed the wand and sat up.

"Did something really happen? What happened?" Ron, who was sleeping on the upper bunk, also woke up. He lit his wand, took a look and asked his father.

"It's not certain for now. We can only see that a battle broke out in the direction of the camp manager's cabin. Although it's far away from us, we still need to prepare." Mr. Weasley said seriously.

When Ryan climbed out of the tent holding his wand, he found that the singing around him had stopped and there were faint screams in the distance. He even saw some tents on fire in the direction of the camp manager's cabin in the distance.

"Damn it, kids, take out your wands, this is an emergency!" At this time, Sirius pulled Harry over. From their wrinkled pants, it could be seen that they had slept in their clothes before.

At this time, everyone had gathered at the door of the tent. After listening to Sirius' words, they formed a circle to protect the girl in the middle and raised their wands. At this time, some people in pajamas crawled out of the surrounding tents one after another. Most of them asked the people around them what happened in a panic. However, because the riot was far away, the people around them could still remain calm and stand at the door of their own tent to observe the development of the situation.

After waiting for a while, the noise of the battle in the distance gradually subsided. It seemed that the riot this time was not as severe as in the original book. Sirius also noticed this. He put down his wand and said to the people around him: "I think the situation should be calming down soon. You can sit down and wait. There is no need to be so nervous." After that, he pulled a moisture-proof mat and sat on the ground.

Ryan and the others sat down after seeing this, and the people around them followed suit. Soon the feeling of uneasiness disappeared, and some people even made some hot cocoa with hot water and shared it with everyone.

Soon after, the sound of the battle completely disappeared, and Percy came over with a dishevelled appearance. He greeted his family and friends, then pulled out his wand, pointed it at his throat and said, "Loud voice!"

Then he said something like thunder so that everyone around could hear it clearly. "Someone got drunk and caused trouble just now, but thanks to the efforts of the Ministry of Magic, the riot has now been quelled. The troublemakers have all been dispersed and order has been restored. So everyone can continue to rest now."

After that, Percy lifted the magic and turned to his father and said, "After I reminded Director Bones, she ordered our few staff members to ambush in several key areas. Half an hour ago, a group of masked men in black robes raided the camp manager's cabin. Fortunately, we ambushed them in advance and prevented them from succeeding. Later, the group saw more and more Ministry of Magic staff reinforcements and all fled. After the situation calmed down, the Ministry of Magic urgently recalled all the strikers and Aurors to maintain order. Those of us who were working overtime were also released."

"Very good, you did a very good job today." Mr. Weasley patted Percy on the shoulder after listening to Percy's narration.

At this time, Ryan also gained 4 points of deviation, although not much, but this should be just the beginning. After all, Barty Crouch Jr. needs to brush the dungeon for a whole school year, so it is reasonable that the initial task gives a lower score.

In the second half of the night, everyone was still frightened and just lay in the living room of the tent in their coats for a few hours. At dawn, they packed up the tent, got a door key, and went back to Stoat Mountain.

"Arthur - are you all right?" As soon as they entered the courtyard of the Burrow, they saw a somewhat nervous Mrs. Weasley coming out to greet them, holding a rolled-up copy of the Daily Prophet in her hand. Ryan could see Fudge waving to the people around him on the front page of the Daily Prophet, and the headline next to it read: Minister Fudge was well prepared and successfully quelled the riot.

"Oh, stealing the credit again. It was clearly Ms. Burns who did the work yesterday." The Daily Prophet used several pages to praise Fudge, even describing him as a savior who could predict the future. This made Percy, who had been busy for most of the night yesterday, very dissatisfied.

"The Ministry of Magic has always been like this, you have to adapt to it." Sirius said in a sarcastic tone. He and Harry also came to the Burrow together. After all, when collecting the door keys just now, the more people in a place, the more likely they would get them first.

After dinner, Sirius took Harry back to his residence. In the following week, Mr. Weasley and Percy were rarely at home. Every morning, before the rest of the family got up, the two of them left home and did not return until long after dinner. However, Ryan had a good time during this period. He and Hermione finally analyzed and mastered some knowledge about body deformation, making it possible to transform part of the body into an animal. "Although the riot was quickly quelled, it has made us lose face internationally after all. So now Fudge has asked all of us to work overtime to restore our reputation. Although I think this behavior is stupid, since it is an order, we just have to do it. Anyway, we are field workers and can take turns to go to a coffee shop or fast food restaurant to rest for a while when we are working. Just be careful not to talk about Quidditch when the Muggles come over. But I still hope that this situation will end soon." Percy said at dinner one day.

"I don't think it will happen." Mr. Weasley pushed the door open with a tired look on his face. "Rita Skeeter didn't find enough news last time, so she has been trying to get close to the Ministry of Magic recently. Now she has discovered that poor old Bertha is missing. It seems that this will be the headline of the Daily Prophet tomorrow."

"Oh my god." Percy rolled his eyes. "Pertha Jorkins has a leaky memory. This isn't the first time she's gone missing. She disappears for a month or two each time. Looks like my vacation is ruined again."

Because tomorrow was the day to go to school, Ryan and the others quickly went upstairs to check their luggage. After counting, he found that Mrs. Weasley had bought all the textbooks and supplies for him, as well as some potion supplies.

Just as he was putting these things into the suitcase one by one, he heard Ron's surprised exclamation from behind.

"What is this?" Ron was holding up a strange-looking piece of clothing. To Ryan, it looked like a purple velvet dress with moldy ruffles at the collar and matching lace on the cuffs.

"I've seen similar clothes in oil paintings in museums. This should be a dress. Didn't everyone have to wear a dress robe this year? I think this is your dress robe." Ryan knew what happened at a glance.

"Museum, my goodness, how old is this dress? Oh, and what does your dress robe look like?"

Ryan took out a folded piece of clothing from the box and unfolded it. It was a navy blue dress robe, plain on top, with nothing but a little silver pattern on the edge, it looked like a school uniform robe.

"I bought it before I went to Brazil last year. It's a bit short this year, and I didn't want to waste money on another one, so I used alchemy to slightly alter it and continue to wear it this year." Ryan said, pointing to his dress.

"I think it's more luxurious to use alchemy to modify it than to buy another one." Ron shrugged, then looked at his dress helplessly: "I would rather be shirtless than wear this."

"Not really." Ryan said. "If you're willing to pay for the raw materials, I can help you modify it." He looked at Ron's robe and said, "At least one Galleon and three Sickles."

"Here you go, I hope it looks better." Ron thought for a moment, gritted his teeth, took out 20 Sickles from under a loose floorboard and handed them to Ryan. Then he went out to look out.

Ten minutes later, Ron heard Ryan shout from inside the room, "You can come in and take a look."

When Ron entered the room, she found that his clothes had become almost unrecognizable to her: the whole dress turned into bright purple, and the ugly lace was changed into a simple style with silver edges. The overall look was a bit like Ryan's own robes.

"Thank you so much, otherwise I would definitely be embarrassed." After saying that, Ron happily packed his luggage.
