The Shopkeeper of All Worlds in the British Wizarding World

Chapter 413 Christmas Ends
"Oh, how pitiful!" Mrs. Weasley said, wiping away tears, after Sirius told the story of the female therapist.

The female therapist was called Meliam Straw, the daughter of a small pure-blood family. She was a Slytherin junior who was two years younger than Sirius at Hogwarts. She married the second son of another pure-blood family right after graduation. Unfortunately, the pure-blood family she married was a staunch supporter of Voldemort, and her husband often abused her because she did not support Voldemort's pure-blood theory.

Later, more than half a year after she got married, Voldemort fell. Her husband's family fought with the Aurors who came to the manor to arrest them because of violent resistance to arrest. In the end, only her mother-in-law survived and was sentenced to life imprisonment in Azkaban. She wanted to go home, but her parents thought she had lost face for the pure-blood family and expelled her from the family. Finally, with the help of Auror Moody and her brother, she found a job at St. Mungo's and has lived alone ever since.

Sirius might have liked him because they shared the same suffering, being victims of the stupid pure-blood ideology in their pure-blood families. This healer was weaker in character than Sirius, and his experience was more worthy of sympathy.

"The young master actually fell in love with a pure-blood girl. He finally listened to his mother for once." Kreche wiped his tears and was driven out by Sirius. But Ryan could see that the house-elf was smiling when he left.

"Have you figured out that you are dating for the purpose of getting married? It's not just for fun." Mrs. Weasley said seriously, "If you are dating to relieve your loneliness, then don't bully such a poor woman."

"Of course not." Sirius said firmly. "I really like her. Even if she is a pure blood or a Slytherin, I have decided to marry her."

Sirius was indeed a man of his word. From the next day on, he went to St. Mungo's to see the healer every day, and came back with a silly smile on his face at night. Even if he had a mission, he would go to St. Mungo's as soon as he finished the mission.

Being in love made Sirius look a lot younger, and he was always in a state of excitement. Even on the last day of the holiday, when Snape came to No. 12 Grimmauld Place, he not only did not glare at him as usual, but also smiled at Snape. Of course, for Snape, this was a bigger psychological blow than Sirius glaring at him.

Snape came here to inform Harry that under the orders of Headmaster Dumbledore, he would teach Harry Occlumency every Monday evening at six o'clock.

"Dumbledore probably doesn't want your mind to be connected with the You-Know-Who anymore. This is not a good thing for you. What if his evil affects you? He is the most evil dark wizard in half a century." Ryan said after listening to Harry's description during the last dinner of the holiday.

"No way?" Ron said vaguely with muscles in his mouth. "I think it's more dangerous to take extra classes with Snape."

"No matter how annoying it is, it's better than losing your life." Hermione offered her opinion. "Don't forget that this connection can be two-way. No matter how evil the You-Know-Who is, we have to admit that his magic power is among the best in the world. In this case, Harry is obviously at a disadvantage. Even if Harry and the You-Know-Who have gained some advantage in the brain connection these two times, it is impossible for them to gain advantage forever."

"Since this is what Headmaster Dumbledore wants, I will learn it." Harry finally made his own decision. "Even if Snape and I want to kill each other."

The next day after breakfast, they took the Knight Bus back to Hogwarts. When they were about to leave, Sirius seemed a little reluctant. He promised Harry that he would go to town to see him on the next Hogsmeade Day. At the same time, he gave Harry a two-way mirror for daily communication.

Lupin and Tonks served as escorts, but there was no crisis along the way. They returned to Hogwarts Castle smoothly. The situation became very bad at the beginning of the school year, because Umbridge assigned a lot of papers to try to distract every student from doing other things. Ryan even felt that it might take all his spare time to finish these things. Fortunately, when he went to the World Grocery Store to do his homework at night, Rose Crystal, after knowing Ryan's distress, was willing to help him complete the paper assigned by Umbridge.

"Thank you very much for your help." Ryan touched Rose Crystal's smooth silver hair, and watched her manipulate ten pens to write at the same time, and then continued her previous research on the power of gods. This was a research project that was initiated after encountering gods in the worlds of The Lord of the Rings and A Song of Ice and Fire. It was also Ryan's most important research project recently.

As the pen rustled across the parchment, Ryan suddenly received a request to enter the store. Naturally, Ryan, who had not opened the store for a long time, welcomed the arrival of the guest. But as soon as the guest entered the door, Rose Crystal asked the guest a strange question. "Legolas, how did you become like this?"

Ryan raised his head when he heard this and found that the man did look like Legolas, except that his ears were not as pointed and he had a beard on his mouth and chin. At the same time, he exuded an unpleasant smell of cheap perfume.

"Yes, I'm sorry, I don't know the person you are talking about. My name is Will Turner. I was going home but I don't know why I ended up here. I'll leave soon." Will Turner looked a little nervous. Even though there were all kinds of mysterious legends in his world, it was hard to accept that the blacksmith shop disappeared and turned into a place he didn't know as soon as he opened the door.

"It's okay." Ryan signaled Will not to be nervous. He had recognized that the person opposite him was one of the protagonists from the Pirates of the Caribbean world. "This is a magic shop. You only come here when you have something you really want. So tell me, what do you want now? Maybe I can help you get it." After saying that, he handed over a cup of hot cocoa.

"I, I--" He was a little embarrassed at first, but thinking of the slim hope for something and the possibility that this magical store was the last chance, he finally began to tell his story.

"Anyway, it's a story about a poor boy falling in love with a noble lady." At this time, Rose Crystal had also finished writing a lot of papers, and at the same time commented on the story she had just heard. This made Will's face turn red.

"There's nothing to be embarrassed about. It's love." Rose Crystal waved her hand with a straight face and said, "We have a way to narrow the gap between you and her, but the question is, what can you offer in exchange?"

"I--" Will Turner lowered his head, because he didn't know what he had worth exchanging. At least in front of such a magical shop owner, his most valuable blacksmithing skills were worthless.

"Okay, stop teasing him." Ryan said to Will at this time: "There is really nothing on you that is worth taking from me, but I am very interested in the world you live in, and I also want to do some business with your world. So as long as you are willing to serve me, then I will help you marry your sweetheart."

"-Okay." After thinking for dozens of seconds, Will made up his mind, because he knew that this might be his only chance to marry Elizabeth.
