The Shopkeeper of All Worlds in the British Wizarding World

Chapter 600 Argument
With the help of Hermione, Ryan only spent three or four days to make wedding gifts for three couples. In the process, he found that the Rose Madonna was indeed a very powerful alchemical product, especially when used to assist in the production of alchemical products. Compared with this, the gain it can provide in battle is not so important.

Time quickly came to the end of July, and nothing unexpected happened. Originally, Voldemort should have attacked Azkaban prison again and rescued the Death Eaters who were arrested by the Ministry of Magic at the end of last year, but this time, due to the lack of manpower and Dumbledore's intimidation, Voldemort had to give up the action.

Unlike terrorist attacks in the Muggle world without any magical protection, Azkaban, as an ancient wizard prison, has a lot of magical defenses inside. Especially now that the Ministry of Magic and Dumbledore have made defensive preparations, Voldemort is not sure that he can break through the defenses of Azkaban and rescue those Death Eaters before Dumbledore arrives. Once Dumbledore arrives in Azkaban, Voldemort will not be able to rescue people, and even the Death Eaters he brings to participate in the rescue will not be able to escape from Dumbledore who has borrowed the defense system of Azkaban.

In this strange silence, time came to the end of July, and Ryan and Hermione went to the Burrow as agreed. After waiting for a few minutes on the path next to the small village mentioned in the previous letter, they saw Mrs. Weasley hurried over wearing a retro dress, which was probably a real antique.

"I'm really sorry. Because Harry is coming over, the Burrow has now taken all the protective measures that the Order of the Phoenix and the Ministry of Magic can provide. So you have to walk a distance to get to our house." Mrs. Weasley said a little embarrassedly.

"It's okay. We can understand that many things are done to ensure safety during this period. For example, in our manor, even to receive an owl letter, we have to run to a designated location one kilometer away to ensure safety. Sometimes you have to be a little more troublesome if you want to be safe." Hermione said to Mrs. Weasley who came to greet her, and then she and Ryan followed Mrs. Weasley to the Burrow.

"--I'll say it again, Mundungus, we paid a very expensive bail to get you out of Azkaban because you promised to do us a favor in advance, and now you tell me you quit!" As soon as Ryan entered the door, he heard Moody's roar coming from the kitchen.

Because everyone was talking at the top of their voices, no one noticed someone coming in. Ryan and Hermione walked to the kitchen door and looked out, only to see seven or eight members of the Order of the Phoenix gathered around the table arguing about something.

"Yes, I promised you that I would help you as long as you got me out of Azkaban. But you didn't tell me that you would ask me to do such a dangerous job this time. If you had told me this before, I would rather stay in Azkaban than get out. Anyway, there are no Dementors in Azkaban now, and I don't mind living there for half a year." Mundungus argued loudly, even drowning out Moody's roar.

"But it's too late for you to say that now." Another voice came, and Ryan recognized it as Sirius' slightly cynical voice. "We have already paid your bail, and since you are a repeat offender, the bail is not cheap. So if you don't want to go on this mission, just pay me 387 Galleons, and I'll save you the six Sickles."

"387 Galleons, you might as well kill me!" The short Mundungus leaned back in his chair and folded his hands over his chest. "Anyway, I'm not going, and I won't pay you back, you can do whatever you want to me."

There was no good way to deal with a tough guy like Mundungus, so everyone seemed a little helpless. At this moment, Sirius, who was facing the kitchen door, saw Ryan and the others peeking out of the door.

"Hello, Ryan, Hermione, you are here too." Sirius raised his right hand and greeted, "We were still guessing when you would come."

"We will definitely come at the agreed time. We won't miss the wedding." Ryan turned to look at Mad-Eye Moody. "By the way, I heard you guys talking about doing something at the door just now. Can you tell me what you need to do?" "It's like this. We are going to take Harry here before the magic effect protecting Harry disappears." Moody looked at Ryan and explained. "Originally, I was going to Apparate with Harry. This is the simplest and safest way. But Director Piers Thicknesse made a big fuss. He classified many practices as illegal acts and would go to jail if caught. For example: connecting the house where Harry lives now to the Floo network, placing a door key in the room, or Apparating in and out. He also said that this was done to protect Harry from being caught by the mysterious man. But everyone here knows that this is pure nonsense. Harry's mother's spell has already done this. All he did was actually to prevent Harry from leaving safely."

"Piers Thicknesse." Ryan silently recited the name and found that he didn't seem to have much impression of this person. "Is this person a Death Eater? Why did he do this?"

"Piers Thicknesse is the Deputy Director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement." Sirius said, "In my impression, although he is a pure-blood wizard and tends to favor pure-blood families when doing things, he is not a Death Eater. To be precise, he is a member of the Ministry of Magic who was pushed forward to seize power when the pure-blood families were severely damaged after the end of the last war."

"As for why he did this?" Sirius frowned. "We don't know either, because the reasons he gave are all very reasonable. If we hadn't known in advance that Voldemort had planted enough spies in the Ministry of Magic and was able to scout and learn about our actions in advance, I would even agree with his idea.

So I really can't judge whether this is a conspiracy by Voldemort or a good deed, but objectively speaking, his suggestion has indeed caused us enough trouble."

"In fact, this is not the worst." Lupin said slowly. "The most difficult thing for our plan now is Harry, who is not yet an adult and has the trace on him -"

"Professor, let me interrupt for a moment." Ryan raised his hand to indicate that he had a question. After Lupin stopped, he said, "I think I have a way to block the trace reaction. I think this should also be able to be used on Harry."

"In fact, we have already guessed this." Moody said, "An alchemist needs a lot of practice to improve his level. There is no other explanation for you to reach such a level in alchemy at such a young age except that you can use all your time to practice. But our problem now is that the Ministry of Magic has even weakened the surveillance in other areas to monitor Harry. Any magical fluctuations in that area will be monitored."

"Damn it!" Ryan muttered. He knew that the shield would indeed produce a momentary fluctuation of magic. When he made the shield, he used the Wanjie Grocery Store to cover up the momentary fluctuation of magic. Later, when he helped Hermione make the shield, he took her to the wizard gathering place to use the large number of people to confuse the surveillance of the magic world. So now that Harry was under close surveillance, the method he used before would not work.

"So what is our plan now?" Hermione asked curiously.

"We have now spread a false news in the Ministry of Magic saying that we will transfer Harry on the 30th of this month. Of course, we don't think this trick can completely deceive the You-Know-Who. So we came up with an idea to disperse the enemy's forces as much as possible." Moody said after clearing his throat.
