The Shopkeeper of All Worlds in the British Wizarding World

Chapter 500 The Changing Werewolf

Then Lupin talked about a lot of recent events, such as Dumbledore and the Order of the Phoenix had not assigned him any tasks recently. He felt uneasy and went to ask about it. As a result, Moody, who received him, told him that as long as he could stabilize the current group of werewolves, it would be enough. Of course, this was also related to the strange calmness of the situation recently. The Death Eaters seemed to have disappeared recently and basically did not cause any trouble.

"Maybe they are planning a big conspiracy and are laying out the plan now. So you must prepare those alchemical props for defense that I gave you before, and don't think it's a waste of money." Ryan had no idea that the Death Eaters were frightened by his ambush during the summer vacation, so now except for some necessary actions arranged on the ground, the Death Eaters basically stopped going out to cause trouble, for fear that one day they would become missing persons inexplicably after going out.

"Don't worry, we won't be stingy with you as our big sponsor." Lupin said with a smile. Since he solved the problem of the hair on his body, Lupin seemed much more cheerful. In fact, Lupin's personality is a bit like Sirius, but the pressure of life and his problems make him very low-key. But now his personality is much more sunny, and he even jokes. "Also, we have three former Aurors here, so there will be no problem in organizing defense."

"Auror, what's going on?" Ryan was surprised to hear the news, because British Aurors are often elite personnel among wizards. He found it incredible that there were three former Aurors among the twenty or so werewolves.

"I was also surprised at first, but I understood after asking them." Lupin smiled bitterly, "After years of fighting against dark wizards and dark magic creatures, it is not impossible to be bitten by a werewolf when fighting against a werewolf."

"But they were injured for the benefit of all wizards. How could they become so miserable? Doesn't the Ministry of Magic care? Don't their families and friends care?" Ryan said in disbelief, because Lupin had told him before that every werewolf he recruited lived a very unhappy life.

"Their families and friends are in charge, but these Aurors have distanced themselves from them in order not to implicate their families and friends. And the Ministry of Magic--" Lupin snorted coldly at this point. "Although Aurors are elites, they are on the most dangerous front lines. Therefore, Aurors are basically Muggle-born wizards and half-blood wizards, with one or two wizards from declining pure-blood families occasionally. In this case, after weighing the pros and cons, the Ministry of Magic will naturally abandon them who have become werewolves for the sake of their own reputation and interests, not to mention that the law on werewolves made by that guy Umbridge makes it impossible for them to live a normal life. And that law is still in effect today after Umbridge left. This is why so many werewolves have turned to Voldemort today, because apart from you, only Voldemort promised that they can live in the sun again."

"So I want to thank you on behalf of those werewolves!" Lupin said, patting Ryan's shoulder. "Also, due to our demonstration effect, two more werewolves have recently joined us. I believe that one day we will be able to live a normal life again with a new attitude."

"Will it cause unnecessary trouble?" Ryan frowned. After all, it was abnormal for werewolves to suddenly leave Britain and go to Norway. It would be terrible if someone found out.

"It's not a big problem. When we were in England, we just told those werewolves that we could provide them with a normal job so that they could live with dignity. As for the treatment, the newcomers will be informed only after they have been observed for a period of time and found to be ok." Lupin is a meticulous person, so he naturally would not reveal too many flaws.

"Besides, the British and even European wizarding worlds are in chaos right now, and not many people pay attention to werewolves who are already on the margins of wizarding society. Even Voldemort, who claims to give werewolves a normal life, looks down on werewolves from the bottom of his heart. He probably only thinks of werewolves when he needs cannon fodder. Others might even be relieved that the werewolves have left." Lupin shrugged. "Of course, with the help of the three former Aurors, we have also arranged sufficient defenses around the farm and established a patrol system. You don't have to worry about us being ambushed."

After chatting for a while, the new werewolf ran back with Wolfe. After changing back to human form, putting on clothes, thanking Ryan, he left with Lupin, as if he was avoiding something terrible.

"Okay, I swear I won't talk so much next time." Ryan's first reaction was to look at Wolfe, who had gone out with the werewolf before. As a result, he only stared at Wolfe for three seconds, and Wolfe's entire wolf face collapsed and explained with an embarrassed look. "The centaurs are too boring. It's not fun to chat with you and your spouse in the Emerald Dream every few days. Isn't it exciting to meet a new person-"

"Please restrain yourself a little next time. Not everyone can tolerate your chatterbox like me." Ryan smiled helplessly, hugged Wolfe's neck and said goodbye to him. Then he used Apparition to come to the edge of the Forbidden Forest where he had just started. As a result, he saw Rose Crystal controlling her puppet and chatting with Hermione against the willow tree by the lake.

"You're back. Is everything going well?" Hermione asked when she saw Ryan walking out of the Forbidden Forest. "Of course everything went well. I have to say the centaurs' help was very useful." Ryan nodded and put the puppet away, then asked Rose Crystal who was sitting on the tree roots. "What were you two talking about just now? I saw you were talking happily?"

"Of course, it's some topics that belong to girls." Rose Crystal said after looking at Ryan. "For example, the use of a certain conditioner and the matching of different hairstyles and clothing colors and styles, and the flavors of certain snacks. I guess you won't talk about these with your sister-in-law, right?"

"Indeed not." Ryan scratched his head in embarrassment. He was a little glad that someone passed by but didn't come over to hear the conversation between Rose Crystal and Hermione, otherwise his image would be completely ruined.

After meeting up with Ryan, they quickly returned to the castle because there was still a lot of homework to do. Ryan estimated that it would take until dinner time to finish all the homework.

From this point of view, Hogwarts is more like a strict private school. Everyone needs to spend their free time studying, which is not like what Ron imagined, that with fewer classes, he would have time to rest.

The same thing happened in the following days. The content taught by the teachers became more and more difficult. For example, the content of the Transfiguration class was so difficult that even a person like Hermione who studied very hard had to ponder over it repeatedly after class to understand it, let alone Harry and his friends. When Harry and Ron came back that day, they complained that they didn't understand at least half of what Professor McGonagall said.

Other classes were not much better. All classes that required spells were required to be silent. In the past, adult wizards only needed to wave their wands to do anything, which looked very cool. But when students really started to learn, they found that silent spells were not that easy to use.

Now, no matter where he was, Ryan could see students of the same grade with red faces. They didn't have any unspeakable secrets, but were working hard to practice the use of silent spells.

"I don't think it's that difficult!" Ryan said when Harry asked him about the silent spell. "Just focus a little bit." What he said was true. The spell was just a way to concentrate when casting magic, and it was not difficult to do it if you could concentrate your mind. And people like Ryan who touched the rules of the world could even use silent and wandless magic relatively easily.

"But the problem is that I can't concentrate now!" Harry said with a distressed look.

"Then try practicing the brain-blocking technique. You already know how to practice it." Ryan offered his own suggestion, which he thought was the best way to help Harry concentrate.

"Okay, okay." Harry thought about it and nodded. Although he was still frightened by Snape's teaching last year, he thought that Occlumency could help him master silent spells, and Voldemort had sealed his brain this year, so Harry's brain was no longer as confused as last year. He felt that he could try to master Occlumency for the sake of solving the problem of using silent spells.
