The Shopkeeper of All Worlds in the British Wizarding World

Chapter 543 Relaxation
In recent days, Ron was receiving treatment in the hospital, and Harry and Ginny were busy with training. Under such circumstances, Hermione seemed a little lonely. After all, her only best friend in school was Ginny, and now Ginny was very busy for the competition, so Hermione hardly met her. So when he went to the Forbidden Forest to treat the werewolves the next Saturday, Ryan took Hermione to the Forbidden Forest to relax.

"Ah, it feels so good to breathe some fresh air." Hermione said as she ran briskly like a deer in the Forbidden Forest amidst the tree roots and gravel. "The atmosphere in the castle is getting more and more depressing now, and it feels more and more like a prison. It feels really good to go out for a walk under such circumstances."

"Oh, right." Hermione, who was running in front, suddenly stopped, stood firmly on a moss-covered boulder, turned around and asked. "The previous two attacks always felt very strange. I always felt that there was a strange connection between them that I didn't expect."

Ryan recalled but couldn't think of any commonality between the two attacks except that they were both done by Malfoy, so he said, "Except that the attacker may be the same, I can't think of any commonality between the two attacks? One used a necklace with a dark magic curse, and the other used poisoned wine."

"Let me think about it." Hermione followed Ryan and thought for a few minutes before suddenly saying, "By the way, do you know where that bottle of wine came from?"

"That bottle of wine?" Ryan thought for a moment and realized that he really didn't know where the wine came from. But it shouldn't be too difficult to find the origin of the wine. After all, the wizarding world is so small, and there aren't many places that can produce wine. In this case, investigating the origin of the wine is also a good direction to think about. "I'm not sure, but I can ask Slughorn when I get back. As a person who enjoys life, if he calls it a good wine, he must know where the wine came from."

Soon they arrived near the centaur village, and it was Mr. Wolfe who came out to greet them. After a while of greeting, Ryan found that Wolfe was hesitant as if he had something to say, so he squatted down and asked. "Tell me what difficulties you have, maybe I can help you."

"Well...well..." Wolfe mustered up the courage to say after hesitating for a long time. "Can you ask your friend to take me to them? I found that they seem to be my compatriots, although they are not quite the same as me -"

"Of course, no problem. It's always a good thing for you to meet some compatriots. I think Lupin and the others will definitely welcome you. But have you told Aunt Betty about this?" Ryan asked.

"Of course I told you that beforehand." Wolfe nodded. "Also, I'm only going there for half a month to get to know my compatriots. I'll be back later."

"I thought you were going to move in." Ryan said. "After all, you are a werewolf, and it is normal to live with your compatriots."

"I've thought about this too," Wolfe said. "After I discovered so many kind-hearted people, I also thought about moving there. But after thinking about it carefully, I realized that the Forbidden Forest is my home, so this time I'm just going to visit relatives and make some friends. You know, the centaurs are too silent, and it's hard for me to find someone to chat with except Aunt Betty."

"Then I wish you success in making new friends this time!" Ryan blessed, and then Hermione and Wolfe went to visit him, while Ryan went to the back of the village to start treating the new werewolves.

"There are 39 werewolves in the base now, which is basically the limit. The rest are some werewolves who enjoy killing, stealing and robbing." Lupin said when Ryan finished his treatment and rested. This time there were still two werewolves. Ryan told them that his level had improved since Christmas, and now he could treat two werewolves at a time.

"Now you have to be prepared. I'm worried that the mysterious man will attack you. After all, your place is probably the largest werewolf settlement in the whole of Europe." Ryan warned seriously.

"We are ready." Lupin nodded seriously. "The three former Aurors started to train each of us, and we all studied very hard. We can even say that we studied hard at all times. Because now, you have given us a home and a goal to fight for. "I have the ability so I will do it naturally. You don't have to thank me so much. I believe that others are able and willing to help you. I am not as great as you say." Ryan said, but Lupin interrupted his modesty. "But for so many years, you are the only one who has really done something for werewolves. This is very important to us, because your kindness lets us know that in addition to our relatives and friends, there are indeed people who care about werewolves and are willing to devote great energy to this."

"That's really an exaggeration." Ryan was even a little embarrassed by the compliment, so he quickly changed the subject, "By the way, there is a special werewolf Wolf in the centaur village. He hopes to visit you."

"A special werewolf?" Lupin asked in some confusion. Perhaps it was because there were too few werewolves in Wolfe's form, and even Lupin, who had come into contact with a lot of werewolves, had never heard of this one before.

"It's like this..." Ryan explained in a low voice. Lupin was very surprised after hearing this, because most of the werewolves gathered in his place were acquired werewolves, and occasionally there were some born werewolves. But he had never heard of the existence of a special werewolf like Wolfe.

"Don't worry, we will take good care of this compatriot." Lupin nodded in agreement, "Whether he can become a human or not, he is still our compatriot."

"Thank you then." Ryan said with a smile, and then asked his crab patronus to pass the message to Wolfe. Soon Wolfe and Hermione received the message and ran over, with Wolfe carrying a blue cloth bag on his back.

"Can I go traveling?" Wolfe shouted excitedly. Ryan also recognized that the pocket on Wolfe's back was a spare pocket he had given to Hermione before.

"He likes studying more than most of the students in our college." Hermione really admired Wolfe and even compared him with others. "If Harry and Ron studied like this, they would have gotten all O grades in the last exam."

It seems that in Hermione's impression, Harry and Ron are labeled as poor students. But to be honest, whether they are poor students depends on who they are compared with. The fact that they can choose to take the professional course of Auror proves that Harry and Ron are not bad in their studies, but they are indeed a little worse than Ryan and Hermione, who are thorough scholars. In this case, Hermione thinks that Wolfe is better than those two, which shows how hard Wolfe studies. Ryan thinks that Wolfe is likely to become a wise man among werewolves in the future.

After watching Lupin and his companions leave with Wolfe, Ryan and Hermione quietly returned to school. In addition to studying the existing topics, they tried to figure out where the wine they drank from Slughorn that day was produced.

This question was not complicated. After the Potions class the next day, Ryan asked Professor Slughorn directly.

"Are you talking about the wine from that day?" Slughorn's expression became serious after hearing Ryan's question. "That bottle of wine must be the top-quality oak barrel-ripened mead brewed by Madam Rosmerta. I have been drinking her wine for 20 years. Even if I smell it, I can be sure that this bottle of wine comes from the Three Broomsticks Bar, and it is a top-quality product brewed by Madam Rosmerta herself. Only in this way will I mix a bottle of wine of unknown origin into my collection. If it is mead produced in other places, I will definitely not confuse it with my original wine."

"Thank you, professor, I think I know where the problem lies." Ryan bowed and left.
