The Shopkeeper of All Worlds in the British Wizarding World

Chapter 666: Boost morale
In an empty classroom on the second floor of Hogwarts Castle, Ryan and the other four were gathered together to guess what the magic item that Voldemort was looking for next was. In the previous discussion, when Harry learned that his invisibility cloak was one of the three deathly hallows, he subconsciously asked about the location of the other two items, but he was just asking subconsciously and didn't expect to get any answers.

But to Harry's surprise, Hermione's answer was different from what he had imagined. After turning to look at Ryan, Hermione looked at Harry and said, "If you're asking about the other two Deathly Hallows, we do know where they are."

"Where are the other two Deathly Hallows?" Ron asked impatiently. "Are these things safe now? Will they fall into the hands of the You-Know-Who?"

"It shouldn't be." Ryan said seriously. "Because the Elder Wand is now in the hand of our Headmaster Dumbledore, and the ring is also in the hand of the Headmaster. And I believe you should have seen that ring, Harry."

"I've seen it before?" Harry was a little confused at first, but soon he thought of something. "Is it the rough-looking gold ring that Voldemort once regarded as a Horcrux, with a black stone inlaid on it?"

"Yes, Harry." Ryan nodded. "To be precise, that black stone is one of the three deathly hallows. Although it doesn't look impressive, it is the legendary resurrection stone."

"Resurrection Stone?" Harry's eyes sparkled, and Ryan immediately understood what Harry was thinking. "Harry, even though it's called the Resurrection Stone, it can't really revive a life that's already passed away. It just summons a substance that's more real than a soul and more illusory than a physical entity. Most importantly, the summoned souls are burdened with pain, and they don't feel happy."

"I - I understand." The light in Harry's eyes suddenly disappeared, and Ron beside him only realized what happened at this time, so he patted Harry's back gently to comfort him.

After Harry's spirits had recovered, the four of them continued to discuss what Voldemort was looking for, but they still hadn't come to a conclusion until lunch.

After all, every country has its own legends, and even if we limit the scope to Europe, there are too many suspects. Not to mention that Europe has traditionally been a member of the Mediterranean cultural circle since ancient times, which further expands the scope of suspicion.

"Forget it, let's go eat first. We will never reach an answer by simply discussing like this." Ryan said after hearing the bell ringing in the distance. "Anyway, we have powerful magic props in our hands. We will have enough time to deal with what the mysterious man has in hand."

After arriving at the hall, Ryan first took a tray and chose the food for today at the long table near the hall door. Then he sat down at the Gryffindor table with Harry and the others.

"I always feel a little uncomfortable." Ron said after putting the tray on the table and sitting down, "It feels completely different from the meals I had before. Although it doesn't look as rich, it feels a lot more economical than before."

"So I heard that Headmaster Dumbledore has decided that even after the war is won, we will eat like this except for banquets." Harry said after eating a piece of bacon. "I think this is good. Anyway, the dishes will not be reduced much."

During the meal, many students looked at Ryan and some even pointed fingers at him. This was of course what Ryan expected. After confronting Voldemort publicly yesterday, Ryan believed that he would be the center of public opinion for a long time. Of course, this could also bring more hope to everyone.

After dinner, Ryan asked Harry again about the ritual magic in Dumbledore's office. He was told that everything was normal. Nothing unexpected happened except that he felt a stronger connection between his soul and the black scarecrow. "Don't worry, that's normal." Ryan comforted Harry, who seemed a little uneasy. "The 21-day magic release time is actually to allow you to have a certain connection with the black scarecrow so that you can proceed to the next step. So you don't need to worry about it."

In the next few days, Ryan continued his work on making various alchemical props and potions until a new reading club meeting was held.

"Ryan, did you really fight off the You-Know-Who?" "I heard that this is not the first time you have fought off the You-Know-Who." "Can you tell me about the details of your previous battle with the You-Know-Who?" After the initial Q&A session was over, as soon as the discussion time began, all the reading club members asked about the extremely short battle between Ryan and Voldemort at the beginning of this week.

"Everyone, be quiet for a moment." Hermione raised her voice and said, "It's best to write down what you want to say, and then Ryan will give you a unified answer later."

As soon as Hermione finished speaking, everyone quickly took out their parchment and quills and started writing. After a few minutes, Hermione took the parchment from these people and handed it to Ryan.

"I looked at your notes. Actually, these are the two questions you want to ask." Ryan stood on the stage and said after flipping through the notes. "One is about whether the mysterious man is powerful, and the other is about my opinion on the recent situation."

"I'll answer the first question first." Ryan supported himself on the stage with both hands and looked at the members of the reading club who were staring at him. "The mysterious man is indeed a powerful wizard. We can't deny this just because he's evil. Even though I've mastered all kinds of magical spells and am more powerful than most wizards, I still have to admit that I'm no match for him in a head-on confrontation. I can only guarantee that I'll remain undefeated in front of him."

Ryan was naturally not very satisfied with the current situation, but he also knew that he had basically done his best. After all, he really started learning magic six years ago. Even with so many worlds as a backing, the gap in magic and knowledge accumulation was still difficult to catch up in a short period of time, especially in the Harry Potter world, the increase in magic power was closely related to the increase in age. In this regard, Ryan's age was really a flaw.

However, all the members of the reading club present did not think so. To them, it was already a very impressive thing that their classmates could pass the NEWT exam with high scores in advance, and now directly tying with the notorious and powerful dark wizard sounded more like some kind of myth or legend.

"You are amazing, Ryan." Neville shouted directly. "I believe that with the efforts of you and Headmaster Dumbledore, we will eventually solve the problem of the mysterious man."

"Yes." "That's right." "Ryan, I believe you can do it." The students present also spoke at once. After everyone's excitement died down, Ryan pressed his hands together to signal silence, and then said, "As for the recent situation, what you said just now is enough to explain it. As long as we maintain this positive attitude, I believe victory will definitely belong to us."

"Of course, given the current balance of power between the two sides, it will be difficult for us to win this war in a short period of time." After boosting morale, Ryan still warned everyone not to let down their guard. "So everyone must be prepared. Of course, this does not require you to go to the battlefield. It's about asking you to do what you can."

During the following gathering, everyone seemed to be more serious about learning magic. They practiced until the curfew bell rang, and then everyone reluctantly said goodbye to Ryan and the others and left the classroom to return to the common room to rest.
