The Shopkeeper of All Worlds in the British Wizarding World

Chapter 583 Time passes

In the following time, the tension between Gryffindor and Slytherin became much stronger. This was because most of the Gryffindor players and ordinary students believed that this incident was a conspiracy by Slytherin, using Malfoy, who was not participating in the game this year, to make the captain of Gryffindor miss the next life-and-death game against the Gryffindor team.

"Don't worry, Harry." This was the night before the game, Ginny comforted Harry who looked a little depressed. "I will definitely catch the Snitch earlier than Cho tomorrow, and it was a good choice for you to choose Dean to replace me as a chaser. We had a good run-in in the last practice this afternoon."

"That's good." Harry seemed more relaxed than before. "Thank you so much for this. This is my first year as captain, but I didn't expect that I wouldn't be able to participate in such an important game. This feeling is really--"

"But this is not your fault. It's all because Malfoy went too far and actually used such dangerous magic." Ginny advised, "You don't have to blame yourself. Tomorrow you just need to listen to the news of our school's victory in the castle."

The Gryffindor common room was very quiet for the rest of the night. It was not until the next morning before the match that the common room became noisy again. Groups of students left the common room wearing rosettes and hats, waving flags and scarves, and then rushed into the sunshine.

"Ryan, why don't you go watch the game?" When everyone had almost left, Harry was somewhat surprised to see Ryan sitting on a sofa in the common room, writing something.

"I originally wanted to watch the game, but Professor McGonagall asked me to stay." Ryan raised his head after completing an ancient Egyptian hieroglyphic symbol on the parchment. "Our headmaster, Professor McGonagall, obviously thought that you would sneak to the stadium to watch the game, so she ordered me, as the prefect, to keep an eye on you and make sure you don't show up on the stadium."

"I'm not an unreasonable person—" Harry said, but he quickly lowered his voice when he saw Ryan looking at him with a playful look. "It's just that I get a little impulsive sometimes."

"It seems that you are still clear about it, so it makes sense for Professor McGonagall to let me keep an eye on you." Ryan lowered his head and continued his work. "But don't waste this time now. I personally suggest that you finish your Defense Against the Dark Arts homework as soon as possible. Snape will not exempt you from your homework just because you are injured."

For the rest of the time, the only sound in the common room was the rustling sound of pens scratching on parchment. It was not until more than an hour later that the door of the common room was opened and a loud noise came in.

Ron rushed into the common room first, holding a silver cup in his hand. When he saw Harry, he waved the silver cup and shouted, "We won! Four hundred and five to one hundred and four! We won!"

Ginny rushed in second, she opened her arms and hugged him. Harry was stunned for a moment, but he could not help hugging Ginny tightly and kissing her despite the dust and sweat on her team uniform. Immediately, there were friendly laughter and whistles from classmates around.

Next is the time to celebrate, which is a rare opportunity for everyone to relax in this tense situation. Therefore, everyone tries to relax as much as possible.

This victory seemed to be a trigger, making everyone happy for a long time after the game. At least in the next few weeks, everyone's face was smiling more than before. Ryan thought it was not a bad thing. People talking about something that made them happy was much better than talking about the horror of dark magic all day long. However, the situation outside the school has entered a weird state, although there have been two attacks and a missing person case recently. But according to Lupin's recent letter, the density of such attacks is much lower than normal. So he reminded Ryan in the letter that he must be vigilant recently, and he was worried that Voldemort would launch a surprise attack.

"I think Professor Lupin is right. Some things do need to be prepared in advance." Hermione leaned close to Ryan and whispered after reading the letter. "How are your preparations in the City of Requirement?"

"It will definitely deal a heavy blow to those guys who try to invade." Ryan seemed a little confused when he said this. "The only thing I don't understand is what the You-Know-Whos are thinking? Attacking Hogwarts Castle, where Principal Dumbledore is in charge, is actually no different from committing suicide. Even if the You-Know-Whos got some help from other places, they can't just send people to their deaths."

"Don't be impatient." Hermione comforted, "You have done your best to prepare, and you have just improved your strength. You don't need to worry too much."

"Indeed, I don't need to worry too much. I just need to adapt to the situation after it happens." Ryan smiled with relief. It was already June, and because Ginny's OWLs exam was approaching, she had to spend several hours reviewing her lessons every night. So Hermione, as Ginny's friend, had more time to spend with Ryan.

"By the way, how is the design of your new wand going?" After writing for a while, Hermione put down her pen as if she had thought of something and asked. "It's been a long time."

"It's not designed yet. You have to know that this kind of very important magic item is not so easy to design. Especially after using this Rose Madonna that I made when I mastered the rules as the core of the magic item, this magic item will have the potential to grow. In the future, it may very well grow into a magic item of the same level as the old wand in Dumbledore's hand." Ryan said.

"The Elder Wand? Is the wand in Dumbledore's hand special?" Hermione was a little confused. To her, the wand was just a spellcasting tool worth a few Galleons, which every wizard had. Apart from that, she couldn't think of anything else related to the wand.

"It should be the most special wand I know." Ryan explained. "Legend has it that the Elder Wand was made by the god of death using elder trees from the river. It is 15 inches long. The core of the wand is the tail feathers of the Thestrals, a strange substance that can only be controlled by wizards who can control death -"

As Ryan told the story, Hermione learned about the story of the three Peverell brothers and the existence of the three Deathly Hallows. After listening to the story, Hermione thought about it and said, "If they can be considered as creations of the gods, then these three things must be very powerful. Do you really have the confidence that what you make can rival these ancient treasures?"

"Of course I have confidence." Ryan raised his eyebrows. "Don't forget, this Rose Mother is connected to me. Naturally, she can grow with me. In this case, I believe that one day it will surpass these artifacts that have a fixed level limit when they are created."

"Well, it's good to have this kind of confidence, but I still hope you can make this wand as soon as possible." Hermione said, "Because I always feel that the situation is getting more and more wrong recently."
