The Shopkeeper of All Worlds in the British Wizarding World

Chapter 624 The Last Day of School
During the time of studying in Silvermoon City, Ryan and his friends established a good personal friendship with Alustriel. On the one hand, due to the loneliness of the immortals, everyone was eager to make friends of the same kind. On the other hand, when Ryan and his friends cast spells, they did not rely on the magic network of the world of Faerun to cast spells, but controlled magic and elements with their own hands like legendary spellcasters and those powerful arcanists in ancient times. This made Alustriel very happy to find that he had a companion who could discuss the road of magic.

In addition, the stories about various worlds brought by Ryan and his companions were also of great help to Alustriel. Especially after Ryan gave her a large number of historical records about multiple worlds as a gift, she absorbed the wisdom of the people in various worlds to the point of forgetting to eat and sleep. Ryan believed that with these examples, the process of establishing the Silver Moon Federation in the future would be smoother.

After more than two months, Ryan and his friends decided to temporarily leave this world after they felt that they had mastered the new knowledge. After learning that Ryan and his friends were leaving, Alustriel came to see them off.

"Take care, my friends, and I hope we can see each other again soon." Ryan had already told her that he would come back from time to time, so there was not much sadness in this farewell.

"Yes, we will be back soon. Next time we come back, we will bring more things that can be used here. I hope to see a more beautiful Silvermoon City."

After the final farewell, Ryan and his companions left the city where they had lived for eight months and walked along the trade road for half an hour before choosing to leave this world in a jungle on the side of the road.

The offset points obtained from this trip were only 120 points, but the harvest was indeed very great. Ryan and his team mastered a whole new set of systematic magic. As long as they had enough time in the future, they could even be indistinguishable from the legendary wizards under the real DND system.

"That world is indeed a powerful world." Hermione's first words after returning, "Can you imagine that there are only more than 100 million people in the entire North, but they can actually have three or four legends. And the number of legends produced in our entire Europe with a population of hundreds of millions is probably about the same."

"So it's always a good thing to travel around and see what's going on. It helps us realize our shortcomings and then we can catch up." Ryan smiled and said, "Let's spend the rest of the summer vacation sorting out what we've gained."

During the rest of the summer vacation, Ryan and his friends spent almost all their time in their own manor to learn new knowledge. Except for going to a nearby hill to receive subscribed newspapers and letters, they were completely cut off from the magical world.

The situation outside has become worse, and there are often news of ordinary people being attacked. So in addition to studying, Ryan and Hermione, sometimes together with Rose Crystal and her undead daughter, sometimes wander around London to try to prevent such attacks.

However, this blind action without intelligence was not very effective. It took Ryan a whole month to stop and kill two Death Eaters who were causing trouble. In the previous interrogation, they learned that most of the Death Eaters who were causing trouble were just dark wizard mercenaries hired by Voldemort from Eastern Europe. They only got an order for a random attack and a few safe houses.

Ryan and his team immediately rushed to a safe house, but unfortunately it was empty. Besides, the other Death Eaters might have known about the attackers, so Ryan and his team had to give up after they didn't see anyone else coming back during the day.

After the plot changes drastically and the future changes completely, Ryan has lost the grasp of the future that he had in the past. So he doesn't know what Voldemort's next plan is, and can only stay alert at all times.

In this grim situation, the date of the new semester finally arrived. What was different this year was that there were several Aurors standing on the 9 3/4 platform, holding their wands and patrolling the surroundings.

There were many parents dropping off their children on the platform, but everyone had a nervous look on their faces. And this year, the number of people standing on the platform ready to go to school was visibly less than in previous years.

After getting on the bus, Ryan also discovered an important change this year. As soon as he got on the bus and headed for the prefect's box, he found that the head of the male and female student unions were already there. After seeing Ryan and his friends enter the door, the head of the student union handed them a carriage number. They needed to sit in the corresponding carriage. In case of an accident, they needed to communicate with the Aurors and strikers in the carriage to protect their classmates.

"So much time has passed in the blink of an eye." After arriving at the designated compartment, putting down his luggage and sitting down, Ryan looked at the steam-filled platform outside the window and said with emotion. "This should be the last time we go to school on the Hogwarts Express." "Yes, I still remember our meeting on the train six years ago. I remember that I was a little flustered because I couldn't find an empty compartment, and then I happened to meet you and Neville sitting in a compartment." Hermione recalled, "You know, seeing acquaintances after arriving in a completely unfamiliar place is a good comfort to me."

"Although I had only met this acquaintance a few times before." Ryan continued, "I was really surprised at the time-"

Before he could finish his words, the door of the box suddenly opened, and Mad-Eye Moody walked in and looked around the box with his magic eyes, then said to the young Auror behind him, "Okay, there is no problem here, we can check the next place."

After saying that, he looked at Ryan and the others and said, "By the way, you are the prefects. Don't just get together and chat in the car. Always stay alert."

"Professor, aren't you retired?" Hermione asked curiously, because his previous participation in the activities of the Order of the Phoenix could be regarded as a private hobby for retired seniors, but now he was directing the Aurors to check the carriages, which did not seem like something a retired person would do.

"Yes, I did retire. But because the situation has been getting worse recently, the Ministry of Magic has rehired a large number of people to make up for the shortage of manpower, so I came back, and now I am the special consultant of the Auror Office of the Ministry of Magic." Mad-Eye explained, "Well, I have to go back to patrol, you'd better be alert."

After saying that, Mad-Eye left the compartment. Looking at the closed compartment door, Hermione turned around and asked, "What do you think is the probability of this train being attacked?"

"I'm not sure, but..." Ryan suddenly thought of something here. "Do you know where the Slytherins are sitting today?"

"It should be in the first two carriages. I remember that group of pure-blood wizards often gather together." Hermione thought for a moment and said with certainty.

"If that's the case, the probability of the Death Eaters coming to attack will be much greater. At least they don't have to worry about accidental injuries." Ryan said, "Now there are too many foreigners among the Death Eaters led by the mysterious man. They can't tell which child is the descendant of a pure-blood wizard and which is not. But if these pure-blood descendants are concentrated in certain carriages, there will be no need to worry about such a problem."

"You have a point." Hermione nodded. "I think it is a very normal practice for Death Eaters to go to trains and eliminate those they think are unworthy of learning magic, as they can control a child with the Imperius Curse to kill his own grandfather and send werewolves to attack children. But -"

Hermione still had some doubts. After traveling through many worlds, she was no longer the simple student in the novel. She felt that from the perspective of a powerful leader, Voldemort would not send his men to attack the Hogwarts Express just for the simple reason of eliminating those who were not worthy of learning magic.

But just as she was about to discuss this with Ryan, the entire train suddenly stopped and there was a sharp sound of metal friction. Hermione quickly put her hands on the seat to avoid falling to the ground.

"The train has been attacked. All Ministry of Magic staff and prefects should proceed to the defense in their respective carriages as planned. Aurors should gather at the front of the train." A man's voice echoed on the train. The attack had indeed come.

"They actually came to attack, why on earth?" Ryan muttered, holding his wand tightly, and rushed out of the compartment with Hermione. At this time, the corridor was in chaos, many students were screaming and running around, and some senior students were trying to maintain order, but it didn't seem to be effective. In short, the carriage was a scene of doomsday.
