The Shopkeeper of All Worlds in the British Wizarding World

Chapter 387 The holiday is over again
When everyone learned from Harry that he was fine, everyone seemed very happy. Then several people surrounded Harry and asked about the details of the previous trial.

When talking about the trial process, Harry said something that no one could believe. When Fudge questioned Harry why he used magic in front of Muggles, Dumbledore directly released the two Dementors, and then with the help of the magic of the representatives selected by the grand jury, the two Dementors began to release what they had seen before in the form of flashbacks.

The first scene is a flash of silver light and then two Dementors are captured, followed by a scene of attacking Harry and Dudley, and then a scene of them rushing on their way. But when it is about to appear who ordered them to go to Little Whinging, a cat patronus completely kills the two Dementors.

"That's the most important courtroom in the Ministry of Magic. How could someone dare to destroy evidence in public there?" Hermione said in disbelief.

"But it did happen." Harry also looked indignant. "A woman named Umbridge who looked like a pink toad cast the Patronus Charm and killed the Dementors before anyone could react. She then excused herself by saying that she was a little emotionally out of control. Even though Ms. Bones was very angry, Fudge only fined that person 100 Galleons. This is simply -" Harry shook his head angrily.

"This is to destroy the evidence. Maybe she was the one who released the Dementors." Ron said loudly, and everyone in the kitchen nodded in agreement.

"Okay, so what happened next?" Ginny looked at Harry and asked.

"The next thing was very simple, even if the two Dementors were gone. But the content shown before was enough to clear me of all charges, so naturally the jury almost unanimously agreed that I was not guilty. I could see that Fudge's face was very ugly at that time."

"Even though you all knew I would be fine, everyone seemed relieved." Harry finally said with a smile. Mrs. Weasley also showed a relieved expression at this time. Sirius and Arthur Weasley were discussing the scene where Malfoy and Fudge had a private deal.

"You go and deal with the vomiting toilet in Bethnal Green, and I will tell Professor Dumbledore the news." Sirius patted Mr. Weasley on the shoulder and said.

"Okay, I'll be over then. Molly, I'll probably be back a little later as I'm replacing Tonks, but Kingsley might come over for dinner -" said Mr. Weasley, hanging his robes over his arm and setting off.

Everyone had a good appetite at lunch time, and everyone ate a lot of roast chicken and a large portion of mashed potatoes. In the next few days, they returned to their daily lives. During this time, Sirius had been looking for opportunities to make up for the fatherly love he should give to Harry. And he promised Harry that he would go to Hogsmeade to visit Harry on Hogsmeade Day next term.

This counterattack was very good. Ryan listened carefully to everyone's discussion when he went to Diagon Alley to buy things several times afterwards. He found that most wizards believed that the Ministry of Magic had an unshirkable responsibility in this incident. Fudge's reputation was once again severely hit. For example, Ryan heard a lot of jokes mocking Fudge.

As the holiday was coming to an end, everyone in the house began to miss Hogwarts. Although this building was the headquarters against Voldemort, it was different from the military headquarters or general staff headquarters during the war that Ryan imagined. Although members of the Order of the Phoenix came in and out regularly, sometimes staying for meals, and sometimes only staying for a few minutes to talk quietly, they did not seem to be very anxious, and there was no wartime atmosphere at all.

And Mrs. Weasley also ensured that they, the minors, would not hear any news about the current situation. Every member of the Order of the Phoenix believed that they did not need to know this news about the confrontation.

On the last day of the holiday, the book list and the notice of the start of the term were brought by owl, which was later than usual. There was no difference between the notice of the start of the term and the list of books, but there were only two new books: "The Standard Book of Spells, Fifth Grade", by Miranda Goshawk, and "Magical Defense Theory", by Wilbert Slinka.

In addition, there was an extra parchment and a metal badge in the envelope. After opening the parchment, Ryan knew that he was selected as the prefect this year. Of course, this was what he expected. As the champion of the Triwizard Tournament and the top three in the annual exams, he was definitely qualified enough to be the prefect. "This means that they have finally found a new teacher for the Defense Against the Dark Arts class." Hermione said. At this time, the two of them were sitting in the small living room discussing the book list. Two gold and red metal badges with the capital letter P on them were placed side by side on the coffee table between the two people.

"This year, this position is definitely a focus of competition between the Ministry of Magic and Dumbledore. Now we don't know who will win. I hope it will be Professor Dumbledore, otherwise this year's Defense Against the Dark Arts exam will be very difficult." Hermione expressed her opinion, while Ryan remained silent. He thought that after winning, Dumbledore made a little concession to show his magnanimity and unite some people in the Ministry of Magic. This also means that it is very likely that the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts will still be a toad. Of course, it is better not to tell this bad news now.

"Don't you want to write to your parents and tell them that you've become a prefect? ​​Even if they're not wizards, they should be able to understand this." Hermione looked at Ryan and asked.

"If I remember correctly, their office in China can answer international calls. We can go to the post office in London at 2pm and make a direct call. It's 9pm there, so our parents must be in the office."

"I've been in the wizarding world for too long, and I've forgotten a lot of common sense. The phone is obviously much more convenient than a letter, and it can make things clearer." Hermione slapped her forehead in annoyance.

"You two have become prefects? Of course this is what everyone expected." When they told others the news at lunch, everyone looked as if it was the way it should be. It seems that Ryan and Hermione's performance in the past few years has made everyone recognize them, and Harry did not show the confusion that Ron showed when he became a prefect in the original story.

"By the way, Mom, our store has already distributed dividends for the first month. The two of us have set aside some of the money to buy gifts for our family members, so you can help others choose and we will pay." Fred said to Mrs. Weasley at this time.

"Can I have a broom?" Ron asked quietly. At the end of the third year, Sirius gave Ron an owl as compensation for losing his pet. So Ron felt that he was in need of a broom now, because he wanted to join the Quidditch team in the house this semester.

"Just a sweep is fine. I want to join the college team this year." Seeing the twins' expressionless faces, Ron quickly explained.

"Of course, our dear brother." The twins smiled. "I wanted to buy you a new set of textbooks, but now I think the old ones won't affect your classes, right?"

At about six o'clock, Ryan and Hermione went out to call their parents and did not return to 12 Grimmauld Place until about seven o'clock. Mrs. Weasley had just finished dinner and prepared a small celebration to celebrate Ryan and Hermione becoming prefects.

After that, everything was normal. A Boggart that might have come out was killed by Ryan's magic. So everyone went back to their rooms to sleep in a happy mood.

"I have to go to school tomorrow. Time flies." Ryan thought as he lay in bed.
