The Shopkeeper of All Worlds in the British Wizarding World

Chapter 399: Forbidden Forest Conflict
The lynx lying in the center of the magic circle sat up like a human, then put its two paws in front of it and looked at it, its eyes full of curiosity. Then it looked up at Ryan who was sitting on the tree stump. Ryan immediately understood and conjured up a mirror.

"I look a little fierce." Hermione looked at herself in the mirror Ryan conjured up and said with some disappointment. "I don't think I look as cute as your panda."

"Well, this——" To be honest, even in two lifetimes, there are not many animals in the world that are recognized as cuter than these pandas. Otherwise, why would so many countries want to introduce pandas?

"Actually, big cats like lynx are also very cute." Ryan could only console her, "Well, the important thing about this transformation is the increase in strength. See if there's anything special about the animal you transformed into? The panda I transformed into was extremely powerful and also had strong defensive capabilities."

"Well, let me see." Hermione began to feel her body, and soon she started running. Ryan was surprised to find that after a few minutes of adaptation, Hermione in the lynx state ran very fast and had strong mobility. She could even quickly and quietly cross a series of complex terrains. But she didn't seem to be able to adapt to the new changes in her body, and would bump into something or fall from time to time.

"Let me help you practice." Ryan said, and took out a bamboo stick. He tied a bunch of colorful feathers on it, and then waved the bamboo stick according to the sword technique and started fighting with Hermione.

Of course, neither of them fought with their full strength. Ryan was actually helping Hermione get used to her body, just like when he was trained by Beorn after he turned into a panda.

Ten minutes later, Hermione's movements had become more and more flexible, and she had gradually adapted to her own body. This was also an advantage of Ryan's Transfiguration: when the natural transformation was successful, the various natures of the transformed animal would also be acquired. It only took a short time to obtain all the memories of the animal from this body, and at the same time, she could also master this body skillfully.

After a series of tests, Ryan found that the lynx that Hermione turned into was not as strong and defensive as the panda that Ryan had turned into before, but it was much more mobile and flexible than the panda. If Ryan's previous panda was like a heavy infantryman, then the lynx that Hermione turned into was an assassin.

"Okay, now you look like a real lynx, let's take a walk in the woods." Ryan stopped at this time, because after mastering the power, there was not much point in practicing like this.

After saying that, he waved to Hermione to follow him, and then he turned into a panda and ran out first. Since he had turned into an animal, it would be very beneficial to run around in the wild at this time.

Hermione hesitated for a moment and jumped down from the tree, then started running after Ryan. Feeling the power flowing through her body as she ran, she felt as if her blood was burning, immersed in the joy of a successful transformation.

"What's that sound?" After running for more than ten minutes, Hermione suddenly stopped. Her ears began to move around as if she was looking for something.

"What?" Ryan also stopped. He knew that as a panda, his hearing could not compare to those of cats.

"It seems that there are some evil creatures that don't belong to the Forbidden Forest nearby." Hermione turned her head and looked at Ryan with her cat face. "I heard the centaurs yelling, is there something entering the Forbidden Forest?"

"We can go and have a look. If there are any dangerous creatures, we can help the centaurs." Ryan waved his bear claws in a less bear-like manner. Following Hermione's guidance, the two spent seven or eight minutes finally finding the place where the sounds came from.

"Oh my god, werewolves." After going around a small hill, they finally saw what was causing trouble there: several werewolves were running around in the woods as if they were about to attack, but every time they were blocked by the bows and arrows in the hands of the centaurs. After Ryan and his men appeared at the edge of the battlefield, the centaurs and werewolves were stunned for a moment, and then they quickly fought again. Only one centaur walked towards Ryan and his men.

"Firenze, do you need help?" Ryan recognized the centaur who was walking over. "Ryan, it's you, and the female companion you brought with you when you came to our village last time. Are you Animagus?" After recognizing Ryan's voice, the young centaur let down his guard. "No, we can quickly recognize animals when you humans transform into them, but I didn't recognize you as a wizard when you didn't speak just now. Is this a natural transformation? But after the Druids disappeared, it seems that no one knows this-"

"Let's not talk about this now." Ryan interrupted Firenze's chatter. He felt that few humans could keep up with the centaurs' erratic thinking. If Firenze continued to talk, he might not be able to explain what happened today until dawn. "Can you tell us what's going on with these werewolves? We decided to help after hearing that something was wrong here."

"Thanks to the stars, we met." Firenze smiled. "Just now, a few wizards in black clothes broke in and injured a unicorn. We found them. The unicorn said that a wizard took a tube and took a tube of blood from it. So our team started to track those wizards, but we were stopped by these werewolves."

"Wizard?" Ryan felt a little strange. It was not impossible to buy cursed unicorn blood on the black market. It was not reasonable to bring such a thing all the way to the Forbidden Forest.

"What do we need to do?" Hermione asked bluntly. "Help you deal with these werewolves?"

"No, no need." Ferren shook his head. "These irrational beasts are no match for us, they are just used to delay us. But the friends of the injured unicorn seem to have stopped a few wizards. I hope you can help them."

"No problem." Ryan and Hermione rushed out and rushed to the place pointed by Ferran. In a few minutes, three unicorns surrounded a wizard in black robes and attacked him. However, the Cruciatus Curse or the Killing Curse released from the wizard's wand from time to time made the unicorns dare not approach, and they could only release white light from their horns to attack from a distance.

"Come on, you little lambs can't defeat me. You will only contribute more blood." The black-robed wizard shouted provocatively.

"He looks like a Death Eater." Ryan said as he looked at the dark wizard who was hiding his true colors. He knew that a guy who could skillfully use the Unforgivable Curses and came to hurt a unicorn could not be a good person. "Change back to human form and use the ring. The other party should be an old dark wizard. Don't show mercy."

"Understood." After saying that, Hermione and Ryan transformed back into human form, and then simultaneously cast shadow blades. The two shadows shot over silently but quickly. Although the man shifted his body slightly at the last moment, he was still left with two large cuts on his shoulder and waist by the two magics one in front and one behind.

Just as the black-robed wizard was about to turn around and fight back, the shadow under him was manipulated by Ryan to come alive and entangle his legs. And Hermione's blood-red magic hit him again, causing him to howl miserably. During the struggle, his hood fell off, revealing a pale and distorted face.

"Dolohov?" Ryan recognized the face immediately. "We don't need a survivor. He killed Mrs. Weasley's two brothers."

"Hmm." Hermione pursed her lips, then made a gesture with her hands in front of her chest, and fired a blood-red ball of light wrapped in shadows at Dolohov.

"Who are you?" Because he was ambushed during the battle with the unicorn, and was hit repeatedly afterwards, Dolokhov had not made any effective defense until now, let alone recognized the attackers.

I just found a book called Bloodline of Hogwarts. It looks very comfortable and has a good rhythm. It is written by an old author. I recommend it to everyone. (Although recommending similar books will highlight my own level, but as a Harry Potter fan, I still want to recommend my favorite books to fellow enthusiasts.)
