The Shopkeeper of All Worlds in the British Wizarding World

Chapter 561 In the Classroom

Anything related to rules is very complicated, even if it is just a little bit related. For example, the extremely complicated brewing method of the Felicity Potion, the unreasonable powerful Death Trio, and the various mysterious runes related to space that Ryan and Hermione were studying.

After they started to study, Ryan and his friends found that these runes were not only complex, but also contained knowledge that was far beyond their imagination. For Ryan and Hermione, who majored in alchemy and death, this knowledge about the rules of space was still a bit too difficult.

Fortunately, Ryan and his team had enough support. After consulting everyone from Teacher Luo Zhen to the gods in the world of "The Lord of the Rings" and finally the group of scientists in the academy who developed the space teleportation device, Ryan and his team finally got this batch of runes.

"It's finally over." Ryan said with a tired face after a whole month. Hermione nodded with dark circles under her eyes. She had never thought that this seemingly simple thing would be so complicated to operate.

These efforts have paid off. Combining these techniques related to spatial rules with Apparition has produced powerful effects. One of them is that the range of Apparition has been greatly improved. Now Ryan and his team can easily Apparite from northern Scotland to Marseille in southern France. This is much better than before when they could only Apparite to London.

Secondly, it improves the stability of Apparition, allowing them to change position through Apparition in battle like Voldemort even if their strength level is slightly weaker, thus gaining powerful mobility in battle.

But the above two points are not their biggest gains. After mastering the simplest part of the space rules in the Universal Grocery Store, Ryan and his team can finally break through the trouble of the anti-Apparition spell. They can Apparate in places with defensive magic such as Hogwarts Castle or Malfoy Manor like house elves.

"So our efforts for this month have not been in vain. Okay, let's go to the palace of Riverdale City, drink some elven wine and have a good sleep. You know, we just finished breakfast when we came in, and we still have to attend the Defense Against the Dark Arts class after we go out." Ryan said to Hermione who looked tired. Even though they could work for a long time because they had mastered some rules and magic transformed their bodies, they could not avoid the exhaustion of their souls after studying complex knowledge.

This rest lasted for three days, but fortunately, after three days of sleep, with the help of adequate sleep and top-grade elven honey wine, the fatigue caused by the two people's adventures and research finally disappeared. Ryan and the others also returned to the state before entering the Wanjie Grocery Store.

"Well, I think we should hurry up and go to Defense Against the Dark Arts, otherwise it will be terrible if we are late." After trying to Apparate several times in the common room, Hermione looked at the watch on her wrist and said anxiously. "The current Defense Against the Dark Arts professor is Professor Snape. It would be really terrible if we were late."

"Okay, I'll pack my things and we'll leave right away." Ryan muttered quietly while packing his things. "We've saved so many people, completed so many almost impossible tasks, and traveled to so many worlds. But now we have to worry about being late for class. This is simply-"

But before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Hermione: "But this is life, real life. And I also think that this kind of ordinary people's life can adjust our various mentalities very well. Otherwise, if you act like a savior all day long, it's easy to lose your original intention."

"I know." Ryan had packed up his things and opened the door of the laboratory. He said while motioning Hermione to come out. "I know all these principles, but sometimes I always feel weird in my heart-"

The two chatted as they walked towards the classroom. This semester's Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom was located in the basement, where the previous Potions classroom was. It can be seen that the classrooms at Hogwarts follow the professors, and not every classroom has its own arrangement. Ryan suspected that in the castle of Hogwarts, only those important rooms, such as the principal's office or the auditorium, have never changed.

When they arrived at the underground classroom, most of the students had already arrived, which was earlier than most classes. It can be seen that Snape's deterrent power over everyone was still very strong. Soon the class bell rang, and Harry hurried in from outside at this time. As a result, this scene happened to be seen by Snape who walked up to the podium. After that, he was naturally deducted ten points by Professor Snape and criticized at the same time.

"What has Harry been doing? I remember he didn't have any classes just now." Hermione looked at Harry who had just run in with some surprise and said to Ryan through the Phoenix Mark. "I really hope he won't cause any more trouble this time. To be honest, Harry really likes to act on his own. He always thinks he is the only one who can save the world, but in the end he always needs others to help him clean up the mess."

"It's always good for young people to have some drive," Ryan commented. "Besides, that was only an hour. I don't think Harry could do anything earth-shattering in that short time."

The first thing to do in class was to collect homework. Snape waved his wand nonchalantly, and twenty-five rolls of parchment rose into the air and fell neatly into a pile on his desk. "Before class begins, I want to see your Dementor papers. I hope for you that this time it's better than that nonsense about resisting the Imperius Curse. Now, please open your books and turn to - what is it, Mr. Finnigan?"

Seamus began to ask Snape about the Inferi and ghosts. Harry was a little dissatisfied with Snape's description of Mundungus as a stinky thief. He whispered to Ron beside him, "Mundungus was caught. Shouldn't he be upset?"

Ryan felt that he could not understand Harry's strange thoughts at this time. This was different from the arrest of the Order of the Phoenix members last year or the innocent arrest of the Knight Bus conductor this year. He felt that Mundungus, who took advantage of the situation and had solid evidence, was caught for his own fault. Even as an acquaintance, it was very normal to express disgust at such behavior. Now that Harry could say such words, it only meant that Harry and Snape were indeed incompatible at this time, and both sides were doing their best to make things difficult for each other.

Perhaps because Harry's whispering was a little loud, Snape immediately asked Harry to stand up and answer how to distinguish between Inferi and ghosts. This naturally attracted the attention of the whole class, and many people turned their heads and looked at Harry, who was now sitting in the last row, with a gloating look in their eyes.

"Um - well - ghosts are transparent -" Harry said, and when he saw Snape was about to interrupt him, he spoke faster and finished the rest of his sentence. "Ghosts are a kind of spirit, so they are naturally transparent, but Inferi are corpses, right? So they should be solid -"

"Very good, it is obvious that the nearly six years of magical education in your life have not been in vain, Potter. Ghosts are transparent and Inferi are solid. I think a five-year-old child can tell this." Snape sneered, "Inferi are dead bodies awakened by dark magic. They have no life and can only be used to execute the orders of wizards. And ghosts, I believe that anyone who has read the textbooks carefully already knows that they are the marks left by the departed souls in the world..."

"But your method is a bit complicated." Ron argued, "If I really meet one, I will definitely see if he is genuine, instead of trying to figure out whether she is a creation of black magic or a mark left by a departed soul in the world."

"Another ten points from Gryffindor, Ron Weasley. I don't think I can expect a student like you who can't even do a simple Apparition to study any complex problems."

Snape's words made Ron depressed all of a sudden, and he seemed listless throughout the whole class. However, Ryan gained a lot from this class: this class was about the Cruciatus Curse, and as a former Death Eater, Professor Snape naturally had a lot of experience in this area. Ryan analyzed some valuable first-hand information from Snape's explanation, which was very helpful for studying the relationship between magic and the soul.

"You can gain countless knowledge in the classroom at Hogwarts, but it still requires the students to be attentive enough to discover these things." Ryan shook his head as he looked at most of the drowsy students in the classroom, then lowered his head and continued to copy class notes.
