The Shopkeeper of All Worlds in the British Wizarding World

Chapter 421 Valentine's Day in Hogsmeade
January passed quickly due to the incredible amount of homework and Umbridge's disruption. Before we knew it, February had arrived, bringing warmer and wetter weather, and our second trip to Hogsmeade this school year.

This Hogsmeade Day happened to be on Valentine's Day. To be honest, even if Ryan was a straight man, he knew that he couldn't be perfunctory when spending his first Valentine's Day with his girlfriend. Not to mention that under Umbridge's high-pressure control, everyone needed to find a good reason to relax.

So, Ryan took advantage of his evening rest time to run around various worlds to ask what to do on Valentine's Day.

"First Valentine's Day date? We went to the amusement park first, then visited Bunker Hill and took a photo together." Knight and Nora recalled, holding hands and smiling happily. After experiencing the brutal Third World War and the long two hundred years, the couple felt very satisfied that they could still be together with their significant other.

Shopping sounds good, but there are no good attractions around Hogsmeade. They can't go to places with good attractions. It seems that this won't work. Then Ryan asked his assistant Princeton because he was in a relationship recently.

"Fine fruit and vegetable baskets, plus the pure natural beef and mutton you exported from other places. My girlfriend told me that this was the best gift she had ever received in her life. I had a great day that day." Princeton showed an expression of you know what I mean. After the war, the concept of Valentine's Day also disappeared, so Ryan asked Xiao Hei about how to give a lover a surprise, but the answer he gave was worthless to Ryan.

This answer is too wasteland-style, it seems that we need to ask in another world, because the world outlook rebuilt after the apocalypse in the wasteland is different from that in the normal world. Ryan thought about it and went to the world of Rozen Maiden again.

"As your teacher, the only thing I need to tell you is that you must not learn from me." Teacher Luo Zhen sighed and said, "Sometimes companionship is the most important thing. I owe too much to my wife and daughter. Living forever alone may not be a blessing, but a curse. It may not be appropriate to say this now, but what I want to tell you is that many things are much more important than eternal life and power. You must not lose yourself because of power."

Looking at Luo Zhen who was sitting there with his head down and a tear falling from his eye after he finished speaking, Ryan felt a little blocked in his heart. He also somewhat understood why Luo Zhen in the original book ended up like that.

After saying goodbye to Mr. Luo Zhen, Ryan took a deep breath and went to the world of "Game of Thrones". Unfortunately, the answer he got in this world was even worse. Many marriages of former slaves were arranged by their masters, just like people commanding livestock to mate. The marriages of nobles were not much better, and were all arranged by their elders for the benefit of the family.

The only good news heard here is that the wizards and priests under Ryan have found the origin of the curse in the land of Mataris: some kind of chaotic magic radiation. And the new species of plants are slowly purifying the bad magic radiation in this land. In a few years, this land will be suitable for human habitation again.

Finally, Llane came to Middle-earth in the world of "The Lord of the Rings" and happened to meet Legolas Tauriel who had returned from outside.

"How to make lovers happy? Isn't it enough to spend time together?" Legolas and Taoliel looked at each other with eyes full of love. "As for gifts, as long as you have a heart, a leaf or a blade of grass will be enough."

Ryan felt that he still couldn't learn this elf love style, but it gave him some inspiration. He felt that he already knew what to do. In the few days before the holiday, Ryan borrowed the two-way mirror from Harry and planned to use the above technology to make something interesting.

On the morning of Valentine's Day, Ryan took a shower for the first time and then came to the hallway. Hermione was already waiting for him there, her dress was not much different from usual, but when Ryan approached, he found that Hermione seemed to have sprayed a little perfume on her body.

"Good morning, Ryan." Hermione greeted Ryan after seeing him. From this greeting, Ryan found that he was not the only one who was a little nervous about the date, but Hermione was also nervous.

"Good morning, let's go." Then Ryan and Hermione passed Filch's inspection and left the school. When passing by the Quidditch field, they saw Ron and Ginny flying over the field.

"I really hope Ron can perform better. I heard Angelina crying in the bathroom yesterday. These newcomers put too much pressure on her." Just as Hermione was talking, Ryan saw Ron missed a very simple ball. "By the way, what happened to you recently?" Hermione asked seriously after looking away from the Gryffindor team in training with a disappointed look on her face. "I see that you keep making some strange mistakes in Transfiguration class recently. It never happened before."

"That's because I've been studying something recently, something that great wizards like Dumbledore have studied." Seeing the concern on Hermione's face, Ryan explained briefly.

"As long as nothing happens, it's fine." Hermione nodded gently. She wasn't the type to ask questions, and her previous question was just out of concern. After getting the explanation, she quickly turned the topic to academics and reading clubs.

The topic of the OWLs exam content accompanied them all the way out of the school gate. Ryan felt that it was a bit strange to discuss this on a date, but seeing Hermione getting more and more excited, he didn't want to change the topic. After all, it was a date, and it was enough for two people to be happy together.

When they entered Hogsmeade, they found that the streets were full of students, strolling on the streets, looking at the shop windows, and playing together. It seemed that they wanted to vent all the depression they had been feeling for more than a month.

"Let's go to the owl post office first. Hermes has been running long distances for us recently. I think he's a little thin. So I want to buy him some good owl food as a reward." Since their parents went to China, every piece of mail has to be delivered by owls. Fortunately, Hermione's owl is an eagle owl, which is good at long-distance flying, so it can complete these tasks smoothly.

"I think that's because since it came back from Brazil last time, it has only been running short distances, so it lacks exercise and has become fat." Ryan had checked it with natural magic before, and he found that the fat chicken was much healthier than before since it resumed long-distance flights.

"Of course, there's nothing wrong with supplementing your nutrition for a long flight." Seeing Hermione's look, Ryan immediately changed his tone and said, "Let's go to the post office to buy owl food now."

"It's a bit strange. The year Sirius ran away, there were Dementors everywhere here. But this time, ten Death Eaters, no, now there are seven Death Eaters on the loose. But there is not a single Dementor nearby." Looking at the yellowed wanted poster posted on the door of a store, Hermione said thoughtfully.

"On the one hand, Fudge wants to pretend that everything is fine and deliberately downplays the incident. On the other hand, I am worried that the Ministry of Magic has lost control of the Dementors in Azkaban." Ryan shrugged.

"In that case, I think we should teach everyone some spells in this area at the next book club." Hermione said thoughtfully.

When the two came out of Honeydukes, it started to rain, and the cold rain hitting their bodies and faces made them feel uncomfortable.

"Would you like a cup of coffee?" Ryan asked tentatively.

"Okay, let's go, let's go to Puddifoot's Tea House. I heard from some senior students that it's a good place." Hermione hesitated and offered her suggestion.

Soon they turned down a side road and entered a small teahouse that they had never noticed before.
