The Shopkeeper of All Worlds in the British Wizarding World

Chapter 317 Accident
After completing the transaction, Harry said that he did not have that much cash at the moment. Ryan simply handed the test tube to Harry generously, and at the same time helped him seal the tube directly into the collar of his robe as a demonstration, telling him to just bite it when in danger. After all, when a life is really in danger, there may be no time to search your pocket.

Ryan then told him that he could let Little Sirius identify the potion during the holiday before paying. Of course, if he unfortunately used it in the game, he would naturally know whether the potion was real.

After a while, Ginny came over and greeted everyone, then took Harry's hand and said she wanted to give him a gift. Seeing this, Ryan and the others were very tactful and said goodbye directly.

After leaving the Three Broomsticks, Ron said hello to Ryan and the others and went straight to Zonko's Joke Shop. Ryan and Hermione strolled on the street together.

"Do you need to send your gifts to your relatives?" Hermione asked, pointing at the box in Ryan's hand.

"Oh, no, I mean wait a minute." Ryan quickly changed the subject. "By the way, when Ginny came over just now, I seemed to smell her perfume, which was very similar to the one you bought for me. Are you sure that the perfume you gave me last time was really a men's perfume?"

"Don't worry, I won't make a mistake. Wait, you were talking about Ginny? But Ginny never wears perfume. She once told me that she wouldn't buy any luxury goods before she started working and earning money. Are you sure that smell wasn't from Harry?"

Hermione's rebuttal made Ryan feel a little uneasy. He confirmed again: "Does Ginny really not use perfume?"

"Yeah, why do you care so much about whether Ginny uses perfume or not?" Hermione frowned and her face turned a little ugly.

"I'm worried that something happened to Ginny." Ryan dragged Hermione to the Three Broomsticks. On the way, he said to Hermione, "Ever since Harry inexplicably became a so-called warrior, I've always felt that someone was trying to harm Harry. And what happened to Ginny today reminded me that the mastermind could not only attack Harry directly, but also target the people around him."

Sure enough, when they rushed into the Three Broomsticks, they saw a group of people gathered at the toilet door. Ryan and Hermione looked at each other, and saw a trace of anxiety in each other's eyes.

"What happened here?" Ryan pulled over a classmate who was standing in the crowd watching the excitement and asked.

"I heard that a Gryffindor girl fainted in the bathroom." said the boy who was stopped by Ryan. At this time, the crowd began to part, and it turned out that it was Ginny Weasley on the floating stretcher. She was lying there with her eyes closed, and she seemed to have lost consciousness. The crowd around began to hear the sound of inhaling.

"Don't be nervous, this girl just fainted. She will be back to normal in a while." The Ministry of Magic staff member who was floating the stretcher with his wand explained when he found that everyone around was staring at them. Because the Triwizard Tournament was being held recently, there were also many Ministry of Magic staff members in Hogsmeade.

After discovering the accident, the staff rushed to the scene as soon as possible. After arriving at the scene, they immediately began to treat the injured and investigate the scene, while comforting the onlookers who seemed a little uneasy.

"If Ginny is already unconscious, then who is the Ginny who just went out with Harry?" Ryan and the others thought of this question at the same time after seeing the stretcher with three brooms floating out. Now things are completely out of control.

"I think we should go and inform the professors first." Hermione calmed down and chose the most reasonable plan at this time.

As soon as they rushed out of the bar, someone stopped them. Ryan didn't know the witch who stopped them, but her age and the robes she wore made her look like a senior student of Hogwarts Hufflepuff. "Harry asked me to give you this just now." He took out an iron box from his pocket. Hermione was about to reach out to take it, but Ryan found that the girl looked a little strange. He immediately thought of the Unforgivable Curse that Moody had talked about that day in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, and the girl's expression was like she was under the Imperius Curse.

"Don't touch this box." Ryan thought of this and took a step forward to pull Hermione's outstretched arm. Unexpectedly, the girl pushed the box over and touched the place where Ryan was holding Hermione's hand.

As soon as Ryan's hand was touched by the iron box, he disappeared from the street. Hermione, whose hand was also touched by the iron box, disappeared with him.

"Oh no, someone is unconscious." Before the people around could react to what happened, they saw the senior girl holding the iron box suddenly fainted in the chaos. Fortunately, the news of Ginny's coma had been reported back to the castle, and when Moody and Madam Pomfrey arrived, they saw Ryan and Hermione disappear and the girl faint.

"Get out of the way." Moody used his cane to separate the chaotic crowd and bent down to pick up the girl. After waving his wand and chanting a few spells at the girl, a golden light swept past, and dark green smoke began to emerge from the girl's body.

"Damn it, a dark wizard's curse." Moody immediately saw the reason why the girl was unconscious, and he began to cast a counter-spell on her. "Madam Pomfrey, my spell can only temporarily prevent the situation from getting worse. Now I need you to rush to St. Mungo's. The Hogwarts hospital may not be able to handle it."

"What about you, Alastor?" Madam Pomfrey stepped forward and took over Moody's work and began to cast a counter-spell on the girl. Looking at Moody who was trying to leave, Madam Pomfrey asked directly.

"I'm going to see what's going on. This might be a conspiracy." Moody replied in a very serious tone. "Ever since Harry was inexplicably chosen as a warrior, I've felt something was wrong. Now I want to see what tricks those people behind this are playing."

After that, Moody began to question the audience around him. Many of the Ministry of Magic staff grew up listening to Moody's stories, and some older wizards had even worked with Moody. So after figuring out what he was doing, many of the Ministry of Magic staff also joined in questioning the witnesses around him.

Unfortunately, the witnesses didn't notice Ryan and his group. Only two girls who were close to him said they heard Ryan yelling to Hermione, "Don't touch the box." But before he finished speaking, the two of them disappeared.

"This should be a kidnapping using a portkey." Moody concluded after summarizing the testimonies of all the witnesses. "Unfortunately, we don't know anything else except this. We don't even know the attacker's purpose or who the attacker is. Now we have to wait until the unconscious person wakes up before we can continue questioning."

Moody immediately returned to Hogwarts. Because Ginny was simply hit by a coma spell, when Moody rushed to the school hospital, Ginny had already woken up under the effect of the counter-spell. But she was also confused, because she was attacked while washing her face with water, and she didn't see who the attacker was.

The investigation was in a dilemma for a while, and suddenly there was a noise at the entrance of the school hospital, breaking the awkward silence. It turned out that after two people fell into coma, the school ordered all students in Hogsmeade to return to the castle immediately. When the Weasley brothers heard that one of the unconscious people was their sister, they immediately ran to visit her, and ended up arguing with several Ministry of Magic staff guarding the door.

"Let them in," Moody said. "Their sister is fine, and I've asked almost everything I wanted to ask."
