The Shopkeeper of All Worlds in the British Wizarding World

Chapter 656: Changes and Explanations (Additional chapters for book lovers)
"By the way, Professor Lupin." After talking about his own affairs, Ryan began to ask a very important question. "I heard that you and the werewolves now take turns patrolling outside Hogsmeade every night."

"Yes, we do patrol here every day." Lupin answered. "As werewolves, we are more adapted to the night environment. So this mission is just right for us. Not to mention that as new werewolves, it takes a long time for the public to understand and accept us. I think it is very important to reflect our value and show that we are completely different from the old werewolves at this time."

"So what's the situation now? Have you been accepted?" Ryan asked curiously. Improving the treatment of werewolves is not just about curing their physical problems, but also about improving their psychology. It's even necessary to make everyone truly accept them from the bottom of their hearts. So Ryan is very concerned about the results of Lupin's actions.

"It's been quite effective." Lupin smiled. "At first, people didn't accept us, but when we showed that we were controllable and non-infectious, unlike the werewolves of the past, most people were willing to give us a chance. After we used a full moon to demonstrate our changes, most people in the town gradually began to accept us."

"Of course, our subsequent voluntary patrols around the town will also be an important opportunity to change everyone's views. This will help them realize that werewolves are not all evil creatures. They can also be ordinary members of the wizarding world, no different from ordinary people."

"That sounds great." Ryan nodded. "I think changing the werewolf form is a foundation. But in addition to that, it is also very important to try to integrate into the life of the wizarding world. After all, werewolves have been away from the mainstream of the wizarding world for too long, so getting everyone to accept you again is the most important thing for new werewolves now."

"That's right." Lupin said seriously. "I have to thank you for this. If it weren't for your help, I believe that with the uncontrollable and contagious nature of werewolves in the past, not many people would be willing to come into contact with them. My wandering first half of my life can illustrate this point."

"This is what I should do." Ryan scratched his head a little embarrassedly. "As long as I have this ability, it is normal for me to help you. It is not as complicated as you think."

"But for us werewolves, it's like giving us new life." Lupin said. "You know, now when we walk in Hogsmeade, everyone will take the initiative to greet us. In the past, no one would take the initiative to greet us even though they knew we were werewolves."

After that, Lupin, under the influence of alcohol, talked for a long time about the new life of the werewolves. It was not until late at night that he left Weasley's Joke Shop with the werewolves.

"We seem to have done something really great." Hermione said while holding Ryan's arm as she watched the werewolves slowly walk away. "When we started, I really didn't expect that things would go much better than I expected."

"Yes, we just saved a race, but now they have given us a huge help. If it weren't for them, I can't imagine how we would fill the gap in manpower." Ryan also said in a slightly surprised tone. "Our world is like this, always full of surprises and surprises."

That night, Ryan and Hermione stayed in the lounge above the Weasley Joke Shop. The next morning, after having breakfast with the Weasley twins who came from home, the two went to Hogwarts Castle together.

After entering the castle, Ryan found that the way his classmates looked at him had changed again. If before, they only looked at him as an excellent senior, now most of his classmates looked at him with admiration. Ryan even felt that this kind of look was a bit like the way everyone looked at Professor Dumbledore.

"What happened?" Hermione also noticed this, and after seeing everyone's expressions along the way, she couldn't help but ask out of curiosity. "Why do you look at us like that?" "It should be because they know what we did yesterday." Ryan could probably guess what his classmates were thinking. To his classmates, he and Hermione were no different from them before, but now they have suddenly become heroes. This kind of hero who walked out of the students' side is much more attractive to the students than those who are outside.

After greeting several acquaintances, Ryan and his classmates walked into Dumbledore's office amid the envy and admiration of their classmates. As soon as they entered the door, they saw the black straw man still standing in the middle of the office, and the two lights were burning as usual. Dumbledore was sitting at the table behind the straw man, holding a newspaper in his hand.

"Ah, you're here." Hearing the noise at the door, Dumbledore looked up from the newspaper, took out his wand and tapped the carpet opposite him. Two high-backed chairs appeared on the carpet.

"Take a look at this newspaper." After Ryan and the others sat down, Dumbledore handed them the newspaper in his hand. It was the Daily Prophet, which was published by the Ministry of Magic in London. The front page had huge letters saying: "Young murderer, the new conspiracy of the ambitious Dumbledore." Below were the ID photos of Ryan and Hermione.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, a murderer." Ryan took the newspaper and read it carefully. He had to say that the reporters of the Daily Prophet were good. In this article, they vividly described how Ryan and Hermione were specially trained by Dumbledore since childhood and eventually turned into ruthless killing machines. In the end, they called on everyone to unite to expose Dumbledore's conspiracy and save the little wizards detained in Hogwarts Castle.

"This story is very logical," Hermione commented after reading the entire article. "If I didn't know it was fake, I might have believed it. Let me see who wrote it. I don't think there are many people in the British wizarding world who can write like this - ah, I found it, Rita Skeeter. It's her, no wonder I thought this writing style looked familiar."

"This time your attack on the Ministry of Magic in London was too loud, according to the inside information I obtained this morning. You destroyed the Muggle-Born Registration Committee and all the information inside, the magical Power Sculpture, and the entrance and exit for Ministry of Magic employees. In addition, you killed a total of 12 people." Dumbledore looked at Ryan and the others and said seriously.

"12?" Ryan counted. "We first ambushed a seven-man action team, then killed a Death Eater striker and the director of the Muggle-Born Registration Committee in court. Finally, when we were covering the escape of those Muggle-born wizards, we killed a striker and the director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement in London. That's only 11 people in total."

"One striker was killed on the spot by the magical fire explosion you created when he rushed out of the Ministry of Magic's staff entrance." Dumbledore said, "Of course, 12 or 11 people is not the key. What I want to tell you is that you can't indulge in killing."

"We didn't." Ryan said, for example, that seven-man squad came to kill us. On the battlefield, it's either kill or be killed. There are only two of us facing seven of them. You can't ask us to hold back at that time, right?"

"It was the same for others," Hermione continued. "Whether it was in the court or in the lobby of the Ministry of Magic, the two of us needed to rescue a large group of innocent people who had basically no fighting ability from the group of London Ministry of Magic personnel who tried to stop us. It was really hard to show mercy at that time."
