Chapter 482 Fake Hand (Please subscribe, please collect, please vote)
After hearing Lupin utter that name, Ryan was immediately relieved. There are not many people who can kill innocent people for their own power, and the greedy Umbridge is definitely one of them. Of course, she was bitten by the werewolves because of her own fault, and the werewolves should be considered to be acting in legitimate defense.

However, in view of the general discrimination against werewolves in the wizarding world, Ryan still asked how the matter was handled. Lupin told Ryan that all traces of the local area had been erased, but he found it strange that he did not hear anyone report the werewolf bite to their superiors today.

"Just be a little more vigilant. Umbridge won't tell anyone about her being bitten by a werewolf." Ryan comforted Lupin, "She will even try every means to conceal it to avoid threats to her future."

Afterwards, Ryan explained to Lupin what the wizard had done in school before. For such political animals, keeping them away from politics is more cruel than killing them. In this case, Umbridge would not tell anyone even if she knew she was attacked by a werewolf for the sake of her future in the Ministry of Magic, let alone investigate the matter.

"Is that so? No wonder I heard someone say that Umbridge locked herself in the room today and didn't allow anyone to enter. But she didn't say anything about what happened to her, just that she was fine." Lupin came to a conclusion after recalling the news he had learned from the wizard gathering place in Norway today.

As Ryan expected, a week later when Lupin sent another werewolf, he told Ryan that Umbridge claimed that she had successfully escaped from the attack of three Death Eaters, and the wounds on her body were caused by black magic. Ryan expressed contempt for this kind of bragging, but thinking that this meant that she would not continue to publicly pursue the werewolf attack, Lupin and others would be safe, he thought it was a good ending.

Unexpectedly, after another werewolf turned into a new werewolf, Lupin discovered that there was a vague connection between the werewolves who turned into wolves, and they could even transmit some very short messages. Ryan thought it was probably the remnant of telepathy that was previously thought to be impossible to use in this world. Fortunately, in this way, werewolves can play the clustering effect of wolves, which is a good thing for them. So he simply ignored it.

In the following period of time, Ryan began to complete the promise he made during the holiday to make a prosthetic hand for Sirius. The raw material of the prosthetic hand was one of the best woods Ryan got from the elves in the world of "The Lord of the Rings". According to Legolas, it was the wreckage of the swan ship that the elves took that year, and some people collected a part of it and it has been passed down to today.

After getting this piece of wood that was only half the length and thickness of a forearm, Ryan first designed a prosthetic hand by combining the puppetry of Yanshi and the production technology of Rose Maiden that he got in the Celestial Empire. After repeated deletions, designs and even experiments, Ryan began to make the prosthetic hand.

He first broke down the piece of wood into large and small parts according to the previous design. In order to ensure that these materials could be used to the maximum extent, Ryan even went to the world of "Twilight" and asked the Cullen family to contact certain design departments to minimize the waste of raw materials through computer-aided design.

Professional matters should indeed be left to professionals. It only took half a day for the other party to calculate the best plan for using these materials. Ryan used the alchemy array to decompose the wood according to this plan, and indeed there was very little waste left.

The next step was a series of enchantments. Ryan used mithril as the basic material for the magic circle, and inlaid a lot of gems bought from the dwarves of Lonely Mountain as energy storage devices.

Three hours later, a simple-looking wooden prosthetic hand appeared on the alchemy array. This wooden prosthetic hand not only has all the functions of a normal human hand, but can also be used as a magic wand. In addition, it has the magic defense power of a gold defense ring. It can even turn into a dagger to fight the enemy when the enemy is close. As an alchemical prop carefully refined by Ryan, even if the prosthetic hand is made of wood, the dagger is as tough as a Valyrian steel dagger, and it also has a strong ability to penetrate magic barriers.

In short, this is a fine alchemical product, and it is also a summary of Ryan's recent new knowledge.

After everything was ready, Ryan just received an invitation letter from the Weasleys brought by Lupin to him and Hermione, inviting them to visit her home on the weekend. In addition to Ryan and Hermione, Mrs. Weasley also invited Sirius and his girlfriend.

"Mrs. Weasley understands that you have been out of touch since you came back from China. After all, it is a wartime. You must remain vigilant." After seeing off a werewolf who had just finished treatment on Saturday, Lupin stayed for dinner. He said to Ryan and the others at the dinner table, "Mrs. Weasley often invites friends to her house for dinner during the holidays. That place really has a homely feel. As the mother of your friends, she cares about you two people whose families are not around." "Thank her very much." Ryan's thanks were sincere. When her husband and children were on the battlefield and risked their lives, someone who could bear such a great psychological pressure and still care about others was definitely worthy of respect.

At around nine o'clock the next morning, Ryan and the others dressed neatly and began to wait in the living room. About ten minutes later, Sirius appeared at the door of the manor with Merriam Straw.

Ryan was very happy to see Sirius, and he and Sirius opened their arms and hugged each other. The two ladies watched with smiles on their faces. Since Ryan had taught him last summer, the relationship between the two had become closer. Last semester, they often wrote letters to each other, and Ryan also learned a lot of useful tips and experiences from Sirius. For example, his previous understanding of many famous Death Eaters came from Sirius' introduction.

After a few pleasantries, Ryan took out the prosthetic hand and handed it to Sirius. "Try it. The thing I promised you on the platform a month ago is already ready."

"What is this?" Sirius took the wooden hand in surprise. "You made it? This is incredible. It's simply a work of art. How should I use it?"

"Just put it on the broken end of your left hand. At least it's better than the one you have now." Ryan looked at the prosthetic hand that Sirius was using with some contempt. This prosthetic hand was made of steel, plated with a layer of gold, and had some shafts and hinges on it, which allowed the prosthetic hand to move its five fingers and wrist like a normal hand under the effect of magic.

The entire steel prosthetic hand was tied to Sirius's forearm with several leather belts, which looked full of the roughness of the steampunk style. In Ryan's eyes, it was simply a defective product among the inferior products. But Sirius didn't think so.

"Don't look down on this prosthetic hand. I spent more than 500 Galleons to buy it from a magic equipment maker. Moody also bought his prosthetic eye from there. It is one of the best magic prosthetic limbs in Europe." Sirius untied the belt tied around his forearm and threw the prosthetic hand on the coffee table with a "dang", then replaced it with the prosthetic hand Ryan gave him.

As soon as the prosthetic hand made by Ryan was installed on his forearm, Sirius opened his eyes wide, and then put his entire left arm in front of him. In his unbelievable eyes, the fingers of the wooden prosthetic hand suddenly clenched into a fist, and then spread out one by one. "You are right, that thing just now is indeed garbage."

In Sirius's perception, the empty feeling he had after losing his left hand completely disappeared. He felt that the new prosthetic hand gave him the same feeling as if his own broken left hand had grown back, instead of the strong sense of separation that the prosthetic hand gave him before.

Under Ryan's guidance, Sirius learned to use the prosthetic hand to cast spells and change its shape. After playing with it for a long time like a child who got a new toy, Sirius finally calmed down and thanked Ryan very solemnly.

"Really, thank you so much." Sirius held Ryan's right hand tightly with both of his hands. "I seem to have quite a few books on alchemy at home. I'll sort them out and give them all to you. I think they will be better in your hands than on the bookshelf gathering dust."
