The Shopkeeper of All Worlds in the British Wizarding World

Chapter 655 Dinner (Please subscribe, please collect, please vote)
"Roast tenderloin, roast chicken with onions, large roast beef, pork pie. Ah - and this big pot of seafood cream soup. This is so rich that I believe even our mother couldn't prepare such a feast in such a short time." When Ryan and Hermione directed these huge silver plates to fly down the stairs through the hall to the back garden in a line, Fred, who was directing several oil lamps hanging in the air, said in surprise.

“These aren’t all freshly made,” Ryan said, “but the space equipment I made has a fresh-keeping function, which ensures that they taste as good as if they were fresh out of the pot.”

After putting all the tableware in the right place, the doorbell rang. Penelope walked into the room after hearing the bell. Soon, Lupin and eleven werewolf wizards came in together.

"Good evening, Professor Lupin." Ryan and the others greeted together. After returning the greetings, Lupin and the others hung their clothes on the backs of the chairs and sat down.

"Ryan, what did you do today?" Lupin asked in confusion after he sat down. "Many wizards Apparated here this afternoon, and they brought their families with them. They kept saying that you saved them."

"We just did what we were supposed to do." Ryan said modestly, and then he and Hermione talked about their adventures today.

"You are taking too much risk today." Lupin advised after listening to what Ryan and the others said. "There are quite a few Death Eaters in the Ministry of Magic now. Wizards like Runcorn Albert, the head of the Muggle-Born Registration Committee, who rely on flattery and betrayal, cannot represent the general level of all Death Eaters. If you run into a few wizards with high levels, you will be in trouble."

"That's the level of professional strikers we rushed out," Hermione said. "If you kill one of them, the others will hesitate."

"They may not be used to your fighting style." A werewolf with a big beard said, "I have said it before, if we keep using non-lethal spells, we will be at a great disadvantage in the war."

"That's not all." The former Auror named William said, and then turned to look at Ryan and the others with admiration. "Although the training of strikers is much simpler than that of Aurors, and the level of strikers recruited from the scumbags is probably even worse. But even so, it is not something that ordinary people can do to kill the guy who rushed to the front with one blow. Even among Aurors, only the most elite ones have this level."

"William, that's enough." Just as William was talking nonstop, Lupin stopped him. "Ryan and the others are too young. They shouldn't have to bear these things. You shouldn't encourage them to take risks next time."

As the werewolf leader, Lupin was no longer as introverted as before, but appeared to be extremely majestic. After hearing what he said, William immediately shut up.

"Thank you for your concern, Professor Lupin." Hermione said, "We will definitely pay attention to these things in the future. By the way, speaking of high-level wizards, the dark wizard who chased us when we escaped from the hall of the Ministry of Magic was indeed as you said. His level was very high, and he even used a suicidal tactic. But he was killed by the two of us working together."

"A powerful dark wizard, don't you know who he is?" Lupin asked. "As far as I know, many powerful Death Eaters are staying by Voldemort's side, ready to execute his evil orders at any time. This has led to most of the Death Eaters in the Ministry of Magic not being in the Ministry of Magic. Therefore, there are not many Death Eaters in the Ministry of Magic, and many of them are former Ministry of Magic staff who escaped trial in the last war."

"But I really don't know that person. After all, Hermione and I are not from wizarding backgrounds, so we don't really know much about the staff of the Ministry of Magic." Ryan said, "By the way, he should look like this."

After saying that, Ryan took out his wand and summoned a stone in the yard into his hand, then tapped it with his hand. Soon the stone turned into the head of the gloomy-looking wizard who rushed out and tried to attack Ryan and his friends. "Yaxley!" After seeing this head, Lupin, the twins, and several werewolves sitting at the table exclaimed at the same time, "You two actually killed the Director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement of the Ministry of Magic in London!"

"I don't think I've heard of this person." Hermione asked in a questioning tone, "You know, in the past few days we were either guarding in Azkaban or taking NEWT exams. Even after the exams, we didn't rest. Instead, we prepared props for everyone and researched new products. I really don't know much about the personnel situation in the Ministry of Magic in London."

"So that's how it is. I almost forgot about that." Fred slapped his forehead and said, "The Daily Prophet has already made this very clear. It has the latest list of officials in the Ministry of Magic in London. The Death Eaters and the group of pure-bloods who sided with You-Know-Who have taken up all the positions, and those who were unwilling to cooperate in their positions have either come to our side, fled the country, or been thrown into prison by those guys."

"I admire Fudge for this." George said, "We always thought that he, who regarded power as his life, would directly side with the You-Know-Who this time, but we didn't expect that he chose to exile to France with his family. Unlike some guys who swore to fight the You-Know-Who until the last moment, but when the You-Know-Who really came, they were the first to kiss his shoes."

"Humanity is often revealed in times of war," Ryan said. "Well, let's eat first. Otherwise, the barbecue will become as cold as stone."

At this moment, everyone realized that they were so engrossed in the discussion that they didn't notice that it was completely dark now. Only the lights that the Weasley twins had hung in the air provided light for the table. So everyone stopped discussing and started eating. Soon, the food cooked by these hobbits conquered the taste buds of everyone present.

"I never thought there would be something more delicious than the food cooked by house elves." An elderly werewolf with gray hair exclaimed. "This is the best thing I have ever eaten in my life."

The others didn't even raise their heads at this time, just focused on finishing the food on the table. Half an hour later, the table full of delicious food was eaten up. Thanks to Ryan knowing that werewolves have bigger appetites than normal people, the dishes he selected in advance were all large portions. This made everyone at the table full.

After dinner, Hermione used a spell to clear the table, then took out several bottles of liqueur and juice and used her wand to direct everyone to pour them into their cups.

Soon, everyone here gathered in groups of two or three to chat. For example, Hermione was talking to Penelope and a female werewolf in a corner, while Ryan and Lupin went to another corner.

"You must be careful recently, and it's best to stay in Hogwarts Castle." Lupin advised quietly. "This is not to belittle your courage or strength, but no matter how powerful a hero is, he can't stay vigilant all the time. Many times a cup of poisoned wine in daily life is far more terrifying than a sword on the battlefield."

"Thank you for your reminder." Ryan said. "We will stay in Hogwarts Castle for the time being. We don't need to go out to make various magic props anyway. We can just ask someone to deliver the raw materials to the castle."

"That's good." Lupin finally smiled. "You are very important to everyone now, so I hope everything goes well for you and nothing goes wrong."
