The Shopkeeper of All Worlds in the British Wizarding World

Chapter 664 After the Conflict
On the hill outside Hogsmeade, Ryan and Professor Dumbledore stood side by side at the Shrieking Shack. Voldemort's retaliatory attack ended in a whimper, leaving only a mess.

Ryan was sure that Voldemort was definitely not unscathed when he escaped just now. According to the prior plan, Ryan's purpose of fighting just now was just to hope that his magic could delay Voldemort and wait for Professor Dumbledore to arrive, and then join forces with Professor Dumbledore to face Voldemort.

So he chose to use the power of the Rose Mother to develop a powerful restraining magic. While giving up most of the attack power and having the disadvantage of a relatively long casting time, this magic was so powerful in terms of restraint that it was unprecedented. It was even more powerful than the water cocoon that Dumbledore used to trap Voldemort in the Ministry of Magic.

If the magic was slowly cracked over a long period of time, Ryan believed that Voldemort could basically break free from the constraints of magic without any harm. But just now, Voldemort used brute force to break free after discovering that Dumbledore was about to come. Even Voldemort paid a heavy price when he faced this new magic involving rules for the first time.

This is why Voldemort changed his clothes into beggar clothes similar to those of Dementors after he came out, and left in a hurry without even saying anything harsh. Because he thought that if he faced a joint attack from Professor Ryan and Professor Dumbledore in that state, he could not even guarantee that he could escape from here smoothly.

"Okay, Ryan." Professor Dumbledore said after taking a look at the situation in Hogsmeade, "I'm going to the Ministry of Magic to check the current losses and the specific damage to various places today. Do you want to come with me?"

"No." Ryan had completely recovered from his condition during this period, so he declined Dumbledore's invitation. "I don't think it would be any use for me to go to the Ministry of Magic, so I will go to Hogsmeade to see if there is anything I can do to help."

"Well, then let's each do our own thing." Professor Dumbledore said, turned around, and walked along the path towards the Shrieking Shack on the top of the mountain, while Ryan walked towards Hogsmeade town at the foot of the mountain.

In just a short time, the fire in Hogsmeade was extinguished. For wizards, it was very easy to extinguish a simple fire. When Ryan walked to the street, he could see that many wizards had already started to use magic to repair the rooms that were damaged in the battle.

"What's the situation now?" Ryan asked after entering Weasley's Joke Shop. As a temporary first aid point designed before the war, many people were crowded in the room. At the same time, under the command of Penelope, several therapists were shuttling among the injured.

"Not bad, but not great either." Penello said, looking exhausted while standing at the door. "Because we made sufficient preparations before and the support of the werewolves greatly reduced the enemy's advantage, especially since you just blocked the attack of the mysterious man, no one has died yet. But the enemy is still stronger than us, so there are a lot of casualties now."

"Are there any critically injured people who need my help?" Ryan asked directly. "You know, as an alchemist, I also have a lot of effective magic for healing."

"Then go to the lounge upstairs. All the critically injured are in there." Penelope complained after looking at the stairs. "Now the mysterious man and his gang have basically controlled London, making many things difficult to handle. For example, the injured upstairs should theoretically be sent to St. Mungo's, but it's impossible now."

"Didn't St. Mungo's treat all the wounded and maintain permanent neutrality?" Ryan asked in confusion. "And that kind of ancient magical institution is definitely not something that the Death Eaters can just force their way into."

"That's the theory. The You-Know-Who also issued an order prohibiting harassment of St. Mungo's." Penelope said, "The Death Eaters did obey the order and did not enter St. Mungo's, but they controlled all the entrances and exits of St. Mungo's and conducted forced inspections. Therefore, our people had no way to enter and receive treatment."

"This is simply--" Ryan really didn't know what to say about the current situation, so he could only say hello to Penelope again and go upstairs. When he came to the stairs on the third floor, Ryan found that all the sounds downstairs were blocked. It seemed that a lot of protective magic was cast on the third floor. When he walked to the end of the corridor and opened the door of the lounge, he heard Hermione shouting. "Fred, hand me the white fresh essence quickly, I've run out of the white fresh essence here."

There weren't many seriously injured people in this temporary treatment room, and there were only five including the one Hermione was treating. However, the injuries of these people were indeed tricky enough, because Ryan saw that each of the injured was covered with a thin layer of blood-red smoke. This was a special magic of Hermione to maintain life, which was usually only used when facing serious injuries.

"Ryan, you're back." After using the white fresh essence, the patient on the emergency bed in the middle of the room has stabilized, and Hermione can finally take a break. As soon as she raised her head, she saw Ryan walking in from the door, so she greeted him and asked. "Ryan, what's the situation outside now?"

"All attackers have been repelled, including the mysterious man." Ryan saw that everyone in the room seemed to be relieved as soon as he finished speaking, and the atmosphere in the room was much more relaxed. At this time, Ryan realized that in addition to Hermione and Fred, there was also Zhang Qiu, who was said to have married Cedric right after graduation and then went to St. Mungo's to be a healer.

"Okay, how are the injured now?" Ryan asked after everyone calmed down a little. "Is there anything I can help with?"

"The wounded here are in a basically stable condition," Hermione said. "But you need to make a batch of potions that can dissolve the negative energy of dark magic and soul nourishing potions. These potions are seriously insufficient. There are too many people among the Death Eaters who use dark magic and the Cruciatus Curse."

"By the way, aren't there any captured Death Eaters?" Ryan asked in confusion. "I think given the habits of the Ministry of Magic and the people of Hogsmeade, they shouldn't kill all the enemies."

"Really not." Zhang Qiu answered. At this time, she was using her wand to clean the dark magic attached to the wound of an injured striker. After she cast the magic, a wisp of black smoke floated out of the wound and then dissipated in the air. "In the previous battle, the actual distance between the two sides was not close, so the hit rate of magic was not high. Only after you repelled the mysterious man did Professor Lupin and the group of werewolves launch a counterattack. All the casualties we inflicted on the enemy were also achieved during this stage."

"But the group of Death Eaters who attacked ran away very quickly after they realized something was wrong. So apart from the two Death Eaters that were killed in the sudden attack by Lupin and his men at the beginning, there was nothing gained. I guess the others were taken away."

"So that's how it is." Ryan had already taken out the alchemy table from one side of the room and started making the necessary potions. For this kind of potion which was not particularly difficult to make, Ryan could produce it in batches through alchemy if there were sufficient raw materials.

After only seven or eight minutes, the first batch of ten bottles of two kinds of potions were made. Fred quickly went downstairs with five bottles of two kinds of potions, while Hermione and Zhang Qiu took these potions and began to use them on the seriously injured in the room.

In the magic world, once the medicine is right, the treatment is very fast except for very rare cases. So the seriously injured people got better quickly after getting enough medicine, and they no longer felt like they were about to die. This also made Ryan and the others feel relieved, and Hermione also put away the magic she had just used to maintain the lives of these injured people.
