The Shopkeeper of All Worlds in the British Wizarding World

Chapter 385 Harry is Here
"Thank you so much for your evidence. I think this will clear Harry of his crime." The next day, Ryan came to the kitchen to eat breakfast. Just as he spread jam on the bread, he saw Sirius running to thank him. Sirius has been very busy recently. He has been contacting those pure-blood families in the hope that they can come together in the next war, or at least remain neutral. After hearing that Harry was attacked this morning, he rushed back directly from Marseille, France, and didn't even have time to eat breakfast.

"You're welcome. Since Harry is my friend, I will definitely help him if I encounter this situation. It's just a piece of cake for me." Ryan didn't think it was a big deal.

After eating a piece of bread with cranberry jam, Ryan asked Sirius who was sitting opposite him and eating a piece of bacon. "By the way, now that something like this has happened, I think it's not safe to leave Harry at his aunt's house. After all, the fact that those people can release the Dementors proves that they have completely given up their bottom line. I'm worried that something worse may happen."

"Dumbledore thought of that, too." Sirius said as he swallowed the bacon in his mouth. "Harry's guard duty for the past two days has been double-posted. Once we have more manpower after these few days, we will take Harry over directly."

"That's good. I hope everything goes well in the next two days." Ryan picked up the milk. "Mrs. Weasley's cooking always makes people feel at home."

After breakfast, Ryan returned to the small living room and study on the third floor, just in time to see Hermione telling Ron and Ginny about her visit to Harry's last night.

"Oh, you should have brought me along with you on this kind of thing. Now will Harry think that I don't consider him a friend anymore?" Ron said somewhat annoyed after listening to Hermione and Ryan's adventure yesterday.

"Hermione and the others have already explained it to you. I don't think Harry will blame us for this." Ginny said beside her, "Besides, Ryan taking one person out is already the limit. Taking either of us will arouse Mom's suspicion. In the end, no one can get out."

"It seems that in the absence of Hermione, Ginny is now the intellectual leader of the trio! This way, we don't have to worry about Harry and Ron, two brainless people who keep committing suicide." Thinking of this, Ryan pushed the door and walked in.

After seeing Ryan walk into the room, everyone's attention quickly shifted to how Ryan caught the Dementors. When Ron heard that the thing was very expensive, he made a regretful sound. For someone like him who couldn't use the Patronus Charm for the time being, if there were other ways to fight Dementors, he would definitely try it.

After three days of dull days, Moody and his team gathered a team to pick up Harry. Ryan could have been an escort, but his broom flying ability was a hindrance. So he could only be the last batch of follow-up guards lying in ambush near Grimmauld Place.

"Do you think the You-Know-Who and his minions will suddenly jump out and attack Harry?" Hermione handed over a belt with a dagger hanging on it, her tone a little nervous.

Ryan took the weapon belt and hung it on his shoulder, then said in a relaxed tone: "It's unlikely, but this operation was arranged by Moody, and he asked everyone to prepare for the worst case scenario. I think it's good this way, so that everyone can get familiar with how to mobilize comprehensively. If there is a problem, we won't be in a panic."

After saying goodbye to Hermione, Ryan and Sirius, who was wearing a black trench coat, went out to the surrounding neighborhoods to be on guard. After the two walked to a hidden place on the street next to them where they could see Grimmauld Place, Sirius took a closer look at Ryan's wand in the light of the nearby street lamp and said, "Do you also have a spare wand without the trace? I also had one when I was young, which I bought from Knockturn Alley."

"I didn't spend any money on this one. I got it from a guy who tried to rob me when I went to Knockturn Alley to buy materials."

"Good boy, well done. When I was your age, I didn't dare to attack those scums in Knockturn Alley." Sirius laughed heartily twice, and then began to tell Ryan the story of his battles with Death Eaters and even Voldemort when he was young, and shared his combat experience.

"Why haven't they come yet? It only takes me an hour to get to Harry's place by car, and they have been flying for almost an hour and a half, why haven't they arrived yet?" After waiting for a long time, Ryan took out a pocket watch from his arms and looked at it, then said worriedly. He wondered if it was because of him that the butterfly effect occurred, causing Harry and the others to be attacked.

"Strange, they should have arrived 40 minutes ago." Sirius was also a little worried, but at this moment, several shadows fell from the sky, and the street lights of Grimmauld Place went out one after another. Seeing this, Sirius finally put his heart at ease. "Moody and the others have arrived, and Dumbledore lent Moody his Deluminator. We have to keep an eye on the square now and make sure that no one is following them before we can go back." Naturally, Harry's move went smoothly this time, and Ryan and Sirius returned to the room ten minutes later.

"The meeting is still going on, Sirius, please come with me to the meeting. Ryan, Harry and the others are in the large guest room on the right side of the second floor. You can go upstairs to find them. I will call you after the meeting." Mrs. Weasley, who came to open the door, said hurriedly to the two people. Sirius immediately followed Mrs. Weasley to the kitchen, while Ryan went upstairs to find Harry and the others.

When Ryan walked into the large guest room, he found Hermione, Ginny, Ron and Harry were all in it. The room was now occupied by the twins because they preferred to live together rather than in separate rooms.

"Ryan, you're back." Hermione said after seeing Ryan walk into the house, and the others also turned their eyes to him.

"I'm back. Everything went well today." Ryan said, looking at Harry. "I'm really sorry. I was near you that day, but I didn't help you find the two Dementors in advance."

"No, you've helped me a lot." Perhaps because Ryan and the others had visited him before, Harry looked in good spirits. "It was enough to finally catch those two guys. After all, who would have thought that Dementors would appear in a Muggle community. You and Hermione really don't have to apologize to me for this. At least because of your help, I don't have to worry too much about the interrogation by the Ministry of Magic now."

Snap, snap, with two sharp explosions, Ron's two twin brothers, Fred and George, suddenly appeared in the middle of the room, holding a retractable ear in their hands.

"Harry, nice to meet you." They greeted Harry first. "Mom is too careful. We tried to eavesdrop with our retractable ears but failed once. We have been trying to figure out what Snape is going to do."

"Didn't they say Ryan is now almost a formal member of the Order of the Phoenix? How come he doesn't know?" Harry asked puzzled.

"But I'm not a formal member after all." Ryan replied somewhat depressed. "My authority in this house is the same as that of many members of the Order of the Phoenix. I don't need to be restricted to this house. But apart from making some things for them, I am not allowed to attend their meetings. As Dumbledore said, the current situation is not bad enough for us children to take charge. The only information I know is that through their needs, I can tell that they may be in danger recently and need to fight."

After that, the topic of conversation became more relaxed. Although Harry knew that the Daily Prophet had been making up stories about him since the summer vacation, he was not in a bad mood and did not think that these slanderous remarks would have any adverse consequences on him. He felt that these articles could prove that the Ministry of Magic had run out of tricks and could only use this inferior method to attack him.

Ryan learned from the conversation that Bill was now back in London with Fleur. Although Percy was not a member of the Order of the Phoenix, he helped everyone a lot.

"Dad thinks Percy is not brave enough for not joining the Order of the Phoenix directly, but both our mother and Professor Dumbledore think it is best for him not to come over for the time being. Because Dad is still a little angry, you must not talk about Percy in front of our father later." Ginny said at last. "Of course, we think Dad is a little stubborn."

As she finished her words, Mrs. Weasley appeared at the bedroom door. "The meeting is over, and you can come down to dinner now. Harry, everyone is eager to see you."

So everyone packed up and went downstairs to have dinner.
