The Shopkeeper of All Worlds in the British Wizarding World

Chapter 367 Hero
"Ryan, are you okay?" Seeing Ryan walking down the stairs with a tired look on his face, Hermione came over and grabbed Ryan's hand and asked nervously.

"It's okay." Ryan patted Hermione's hand gently to comfort her. "It's just that you consumed too much magic power at once. Just take a rest. Don't worry."

For Ryan, the last full-strength attack did make him a little exhausted. But it also showed his own progress, at least it was much better than when he had to ask for help from others after getting the diary. Now, according to his last judgment, his level is already able to block Voldemort's full-strength attack head-on. Although his level is still not as good as Foley or Voldemort, he has no problem fighting head-on and evacuating smoothly.

Looking at Sirius, Lupin and Kreacher who were all anxious, Ryan turned to them and said, "Dumbledore has solved the locket problem. He told me to tell you that you can go upstairs now."

After learning that the locket had been found, everyone rushed upstairs. Kreacher was the first to run upstairs, snapping his fingers and using Apparition to rush upstairs, while the others could only climb up the stairs.

When Ryan and Hermione climbed the stairs, they found Kreacher sitting on the floor of the living room crying bitterly while holding the destroyed locket. Sirius was sitting on a sofa sobbing, and Lupin was patting his back to comfort him.

"Regulus was very brave," Dumbledore said in a very serious tone. "It's a pity that he didn't join the Order of the Phoenix, otherwise he wouldn't have to fight alone and deal with things like this without sacrificing himself."

After that, Dumbledore turned to Kreacher and said, "You must know that Regulus was killed by Voldemort."

Kreacher shuddered at the name.

"What I want to tell you is that everything we do here is to try our best to kill Voldemort and end this war. So I hope you can cooperate with our work a little." Dumbledore said seriously.

"So, in this way you can kill the great evil who cannot even be named, and avenge my master Regulus?" Kreacher said with sobs.

"Unfortunately, due to his evil and power, we cannot make this promise." Dumbledore bent down and looked at Krecher. With his status, there was no need for him to deceive a house elf. "But as long as we are alive, we will continue to fight him. Until either we or he is completely dead."

"Yes, me too." Sirius raised his head after hearing this. "I swear, I will use all my energy to fight Voldemort before he is brought to justice. To avenge my foolish brother."

"Kreche understands." Kreche stood up and bowed deeply, even hitting his head on the carpet. "Although Kreche still thinks Sirius is a loser, he is now willing to recognize him as his master and serve him."

"I want to bring him back." Sirius suddenly said, "I can't let my brother stay alone at the bottom of the cold lake." Sirius stood up and walked towards the door. "I want to take him home."

"Sirius." Ryan called him. "Just now Kreacher said that the cave is full of Inferi. I have a way to control them without destroying the bodies, so you can find your brother's body. But I need some materials to make some things in advance. Can you wait for me for an afternoon? We will set off together tomorrow."

"Really?" Sirius rushed over and grabbed Ryan's shoulders. "Is everything you said true? Tell me what you want quickly, and I'll buy it now."

"What he said should be true." Professor Dumbledore's voice rose beside him. "Lion's alchemy skills are not low, and he is not a boastful person. If he says he is sure, I believe he should have a way." After watching Ryan write out a shopping list of more than a dozen materials, Sirius immediately ran downstairs. Ryan began to ask Kreacher about the specific layout of the cave.

"Does it require the blood of a wizard to enter the door?" Dumbledore nodded after hearing this, his tone revealing contempt and even disappointment. "This is in line with Voldemort's habits. He likes this kind of design that weakens the opponent before he can enter. It has always been like this."

"Should we go to Diagon Alley to buy some blood?" Ryan suggested, "There are many poor wizards there. If we are willing to pay Galleons, there will definitely be someone willing to sell blood."

"I'll go." Lupin volunteered. "I'm more familiar with dealing with those wizards." After quickly taking the purse handed over by Ryan, Lupin hurried downstairs and left.

Half an hour later, both of them came back. Sirius was carrying two large bags, while Lupin took out two 400cc bottles filled with blood from his arms.

After seeing them get home, Professor Dumbledore left. Under the current circumstances, as the headmaster of Hogwarts and the supreme leader of the Order of the Phoenix, he is very busy. He just came here because of an important matter, and now that the matter is dealt with, he naturally needs to leave quickly to do his work.

From then on, until the Weasleys arrived in the afternoon, Ryan had been drawing one after another corpse charm on the kitchen table. Because he didn't know how many corpses Voldemort had hidden in the lake, he could only draw as many as possible.

During dinner, the Weasley family also came over. Under the management of Kreche and Mrs. Weasley, the dinner was very sumptuous. Especially the French onion soup and the grilled lamb chops were the best Ryan had ever tasted.

"I'm ready. When do we leave?" Ryan asked Sirius during dinner.

"We'll set off after we finish eating. I can't believe that my brother has stayed in that place for more than ten years—" Sirius has been visibly restless since he learned of Regulus' whereabouts.

"What happened to Sirius's brother?" Mrs. Weasley asked. Looking at the somewhat sad Sirius, Lupin slowly began to tell the story of this warrior's life.

"He is truly a hero." After hearing the brief introduction, the atmosphere at the table suddenly became dull. As people who had experienced that dark age, the Weasleys naturally knew how much courage and perseverance it took to fight against the Dark Lord alone in that situation.

"Oh, I'll go help too," said Mr. Weasley. "It's a bit dangerous for the two of you to go to a place like that with an underage wizard. After all, I fought in that dark age, so I think I can help you a little."

The twins started to make noises and wanted to go too, but were easily suppressed by Mrs. Weasley. After comforting the children at home, Mrs. Weasley looked at Mr. Weasley with some worry, but in the end she did not say anything to stop him.

The clock struck eight in the evening. Ryan hugged Hermione goodbye, then left the kitchen with Sirius, Lupin, Mr. Weasley and Kreacher and headed towards the exit of the house.
