The Shopkeeper of All Worlds in the British Wizarding World

Chapter 327 The End
After roughly reconciling the confession with Hermione, Ryan used life magic to calm Hermione's spirit. Looking at Hermione who fell asleep under the magic, he stretched his eyebrows, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and then began to arrange the scene according to the plan.

Ryan first poured out the previously prepared debris from the space gate, and then pieced the debris back into its previous appearance. Finally, he burned it into ashes together with the vampire corpse in front of him using a simple sunlight refining array.

Looking at the two piles of human-shaped ashes and the two piles of weird ashes that the blood puppets had turned into, Ryan nodded with satisfaction. This was almost done. After everything was done, Ryan seemed to have thought of something and changed back to his original form, and then changed his clothes to the one he wore when he came.

"Next time I must prepare my hair in advance." Ryan warned himself as he walked to Hermione's side and sat down next to her. Finally, he removed the seal on the fireplace when he first came here and restored its function.

After five or six hours, when Hermione woke up from her deep sleep, sparks appeared in the fireplace again. Ryan raised his wand and stood up, pointing it directly in the direction of the fireplace, and Hermione did the same.

"Who?" While asking, Ryan also threw out a sunlight crystal. In an instant, a strong light enveloped the entire space. Fortunately, it was indeed a rescue worker this time, and they were immune to this kind of strong light attack.

"Boy, very good." Ryan recognized the hoarse voice as Professor Moody of the Defense Against the Dark Arts class. However, Ryan still pointed his wand at him. "Please prove that you are indeed Professor Moody."

Moody was not angry, but smiled. "Like I told you in the first lesson, we must always be vigilant. I'm glad to see that you listened to me."

After saying that, he looked at the piles of ashes on the ground and nodded. "Are you really not considering becoming an Auror after graduation? At least two adult vampires plus two blood puppets are not something that an ordinary underage wizard can handle."

"It's just luck. Some of the alchemical products I have can restrain these dark creatures." After Ryan said this, Moody and his followers appeared.

After a strong squeeze, Ryan and Hermione were brought by Moody to the cast iron gate of Hogwarts. A few minutes later, they appeared in the headmaster's office with hot tea in their hands.

Because Moody had said something before, Dumbledore directly asked the two people about their experiences when they were kidnapped before. Ryan and the others told Dumbledore as agreed that after being caught in the underground cell, the two people used some special magic weapons to escape, and then used the power of sunlight to kill the vampire who tried to kidnap them.

Later, a monster rushed out of the fireplace, and then a monster and a vampire rushed out, but they were all destroyed by Ryan with the help of alchemical props and magic. Strangely, after these monsters were dealt with, no other enemies appeared. After discovering that the fireplace led to a fixed location, the two decided to take turns to rest and wait for help, and then Moody came to pick them up.

"So Mr. Liang, how did you know there was something wrong with the box?" Dumbledore asked with his hands crossed on the table after Ryan and the others finished telling their stories.

"Because the fact that Harry signed up for the competition this year is full of problems, it makes me feel that something bad might happen. So I have been on high alert this year. When we were on the streets of Hogsmeade, the girl's eyes were a little dull, and when I noticed it, I immediately thought of the Imperius Curse that Professor Moody talked about. So I was worried about the curse, so I cast defensive magic on both of us, but I didn't expect it to be a portkey." Ryan said with regret.

"You did a great job on this matter. No wonder Professor Moody was praising you just now." Dumbledore nodded and said, "The magic prop you just mentioned is the bracelet on your hand, right?"

"Yes." Ryan nodded. "It's a pity that all the Sunshine Gems on it were used up this time, which is equivalent to losing hundreds of Galleons at once. It's worth it to save a life." "It's great for a young man to have such a mentality." Professor Dumbledore laughed twice and suddenly became serious and asked: "Can you tell me what the ingredients of the potion you gave Harry before are? Of course, I don't mean to pry into your secrets, you just need to tell me what the ingredients of the potion are."

"Unicorn blood to remove the curse, solidified sunlight, dragon blood—" Ryan blurted out more than a dozen herbs in one breath. "That's it, Principal Dumbledore. This was told to me by a centaur witch doctor I knew before. She also gave me the unicorn blood."

"Yes, all intelligent creatures have their advantages, but it's a pity that many wizards hold their heads high and pretend not to see them. When I was young -" Dumbledore shook his head at this point. "Forget it, the past is the past."

Ryan looked at Dumbledore, and he probably thought of the time when he was young and with Grindelwald. However, Dumbledore quickly woke up from his memories, and then looked at Ryan and Hermione seriously and asked: "If I tell you that Voldemort is back, will you believe it?"

"I think the mysterious man..." Ryan thought this might be Dumbledore trying to recruit someone, and was about to give a serious answer but was interrupted by Dumbledore just as he opened his mouth.

"Ryan, Hermione, just call him Voldemort. Always use the correct name for things. Fear of a name will intensify the fear of the thing itself."

"But Professor, there is magic on that man's name that will detect people who call him by his name. As the most powerful white wizard, you are not afraid, but we are not as powerful as you, and our relatives are people who do not know magic and cannot protect themselves. If he really comes back, I think Hermione and I cannot afford the consequences of calling that man by his name." Ryan confronted Dumbledore directly on this issue. He always felt that Dumbledore was cheating people by asking Harry and the others to call Voldemort by his name in the original book. Especially for Hermione, whose family members are all Muggles, it is equivalent to putting their family in mortal danger.

"I'm sorry, I didn't think it through." Dumbledore took the initiative to apologize, "I understand your efforts to protect your family."

"Thank you. Let me continue with your previous topic. I believe that person has returned, because I know Harry is not the kind of person who talks nonsense. But I also believe that most people in the wizarding world will not believe this, and they will even take the initiative to deny it."

"Is it like the signing of the Munich Agreement?" Hermione also reacted at this time and asked.

"Yes, the wizards of Britain are just as unwilling to admit the imminent danger as the Muggle community in Britain before the war, from top to bottom," Ryan replied.

"Oh? Tell me what you think." Dumbledore asked with interest. Originally, after Harry came back today, he planned to find Fudge directly to tell him the news of Voldemort's return, and use the power of the Ministry of Magic to limit Voldemort's recovery to the greatest extent.

In his opinion, Fudge and the Ministry of Magic should have started preparing for war and alerted all wizards after receiving this information, so as to curb the development of Voldemort's power. However, two students who were caught in the crossfire proposed another point of view. He now wanted to hear what these two Muggle-born students wanted to say with the cases in the Muggle world.
