The Shopkeeper of All Worlds in the British Wizarding World

Chapter 453 Preparation
After Ryan and Hermione left the headmaster's office, they went directly to the school hospital to visit their friends who had fought alongside them in the Ministry of Magic. The Weasley brothers and sisters were very happy to see Ryan and Hermione appear in front of them safely. Ryan naturally told them that he had just triggered some magic in the Department of Mysteries two days ago, and as a result, he appeared on the streets of London three days later after opening his eyes.

Everyone accepted this explanation. Ron told them that he and Hermione were not the only ones missing in the Battle of the Department of Mysteries. The Death Eaters were even worse off, with five missing. In addition to Crabbe and Goyle's father, there was also Selwyn, an unknown Albanian dark wizard and a werewolf.

Ryan nodded slightly, and after coming out from behind the archway, he immediately contacted Rose Crystal, who had been evacuated according to his orders. Now Ron told his missing persons and Rose Crystal that the bodies they took away were completely consistent.

Among these corpses, the werewolf corpse is the most important to Ryan, because with this specimen, Ryan's research on werewolves can take a big step forward.

"The only bad thing is that old woman Umbridge was able to return to work at the Ministry of Magic safely." Fred said unhappily. "Even though the evil things she did at Hogwarts were exposed."

"Didn't she receive any punishment at all?" Hermione asked in confusion. "At least I think using a dark magic quill to lynch a student is illegal anyway. Isn't there a corresponding crime in wizard law for torturing people with dark magic?"

"Yes." George nodded. "But the pure-blood wizards in the Ministry of Magic firmly believed that Umbridge was just a little too radical when carrying out the Ministry's orders. At the same time, they believed that the damage caused by dark magic was irreversible, so the quill could not be considered a dark magic item. However, the Ministry of Magic also made compensation, giving each punished student a compensation ranging from ten to eighty Galleons."

"Is this the end of the matter?" Hermione was speechless about the wizards' muddled approach. "Then what do wizards make laws for?"

"Well, apart from the Statute of Secrecy and a few wizarding laws, wizards themselves don't take most of the rest of the laws seriously." Ron smiled sarcastically. "Most of these laws are made by specific departments. For example, my father made some laws to regulate the enchantment of Muggle items. But as far as I know, he left several loopholes in this law to facilitate his research on Muggle things. If we infer this way, I think those pure-bloods must have left a lot of loopholes in the law that are beneficial to them."

"I suddenly realized that I had made the right choice to work at the Ministry of Magic." After listening to what Ron said, Hermione felt that she had made the right choice during the career consultation. Wizards really needed to change from the most basic aspects. If she went directly to the Ministry of Magic, at most she could change some corners with the help of those supporting wizard families, but it would be impossible to realize her dream of changing the wizarding world.

"Yeah, we can only change it little by little starting from the most basic place." Ryan agreed.

"Of course, of course. Although Umbridge is very cunning, there are not many children from influential pure-blood wizard families among her victims. But the Ministry of Magic's total defeat this time also made her miscalculate. It may be to appease the victims, or it may be to show her determination. The Ministry of Magic transferred Umbridge to Northern Europe, and now she is appointed as the Northern European Non-Human Biology Liaison Officer. And if there is no major problem, she should have been there today." George raised his eyebrows.

"That doesn't sound like a particularly severe punishment," Ryan asked, frowning.

"No, no, no," Fred said with a smile. "This department was established when Umbridge left Hogwarts that day. It was just her, and there was nothing but the organization. This was equivalent to exiling her, but she just found a good name to maintain the face of the Ministry of Magic. After all, she offended the First White Wizard, and no one in the Ministry of Magic would conflict with Dumbledore for this wizard who lacked background and was not liked by most people."

"This is too realistic. The most basic rule of the wizarding world is that whoever has the bigger fist is right. It's obvious that the Ministry of Magic is unwilling to keep this loyal dog because their fist is not as big as Dumbledore's." Ryan thought and looked at Hermione. The soul connection between the two people made Ryan vaguely feel that Hermione had the same idea.

After chatting for a while, Ryan and his friends were driven out by Madam Pomfrey. Because the school doctor thought that the wounded needed more rest, and long-term chatting would not be conducive to their recovery. When they were pushed out of the door, they saw Fred and George making a face together. In the next few days, everyone enjoyed the leisure time at the end of the semester. During this time, Hermione seemed to be a little worried. Ryan naturally noticed it, so he also made corresponding preparations. For example, he went to the Wanjie Grocery Store one night, on the one hand, he gave the golden sand from a time converter that he had obtained before to Mr. Luo Zhen. On the other hand, he went to the world of "The Lord of the Rings" to customize something.

He first went to Mirkwood to prepare some raw materials, and then went to Lonely Mountain. After listening to Lion's request, Thorin Oakenshield vowed that what Lion wanted was not easy to make, so he would make it himself, and he could pick it up from him in a week.

Looking at Thorin, who drank a whole bottle of honey vodka imported from the Beorn people in Anduin Valley and then excitedly called his friends to start working immediately, Llane smiled helplessly and left.

A week later, three days before the end of the semester, the Weasley boys were finally fully recovered and discharged from the hospital. Everyone held a small celebration party during afternoon tea. After dinner, Ryan went to the world of The Lord of the Rings to retrieve a palm-sized silver box, and then held the last reading club meeting of this semester with Hermione.

Because all the exams were over at this time, and so many things had happened recently, when everyone saw Ryan and Hermione walk in, they began to ask what happened in the Ministry of Magic that day.

After Hermione cleared her throat to quiet everyone down, Ryan began to tell everyone the story of what happened that night. In addition to what happened in the Hall of the Dead, he combined Harry's experience and carefully told everyone what happened that night. The Weasley twins excitedly added a lot of details.

"Does this mean that the war has really begun?" Celia, a second-year Ravenclaw student, covered her mouth in surprise.

"Yes." Ryan nodded. "Although no one wants to see this, it is true. So from now on we will face real danger. Given my Muggle-born identity, I will definitely go against the You-Know-Who. If you want to withdraw from the reading club now for safety reasons, I can completely understand."

"I won't quit." Unexpectedly, Neville, who usually seemed a little timid, was the first to step forward and express his opinion. "I am destined to fight the You-Know-Who. I feel that I have learned a lot here."

"Neither can I." "I am not a wizard, the You-Know-Who will not let me go." "Our parents fought him for a long time back then, and we have fought him once too. We are not afraid of him--" Everyone talked at once, and no one chose to quit.

After hearing everyone's answers, Ryan felt that his efforts over the past few years were not in vain. The next time was practice time. In addition to reviewing the spells of this semester, Ryan gave each member a booklet containing commonly used magic so that everyone could practice during the summer vacation.

Just when the time was almost up and everyone was about to leave, Ryan suddenly ran to the stage and called out to Fred and George.
