The Shopkeeper of All Worlds in the British Wizarding World

Chapter 698 The Longbottoms

After talking about the war, Professor Dumbledore looked very tired. Seeing this, Ryan and Hermione stood up and bowed to the headmaster, then walked towards the door of the headmaster's office together.

"Ryan, can you tell me why you are doing so much for this war?" Professor Dumbledore suddenly asked when Ryan and the others were about to leave the door. "Because I can feel that you don't have a strong sense of belonging to the magic world. At the same time, as a high-level alchemist, you don't need to rely on the British magic world at all. So what makes you stay here?"

"The reasons are complicated," Ryan and Hermione looked at each other. "But if you want to figure out the original reason, I think it may be due to an ideal I had in my second year. Sometimes people always have to fight for their ideals."

After hearing this, Professor Dumbledore did not say anything, but waved his hand to signal Ryan and the others to leave. Ryan and the others nodded to Professor Dumbledore and left the principal's office along the spiral staircase.

"Why did Headmaster Dumbledore come to us to talk about these things today?" After arriving at the corridor on the next floor, Hermione recalled the conversation in the office just now and asked Ryan.

"Because what we have been doing recently is too similar to what the You-Know-Who did when he was young." Ryan explained to Hermione. "For example, killing people who are hostile to us, and organizing people and forces that lean towards us. So Professor Dumbledore wants to make sure that we will not become the second You-Know-Who, and will not become a new threat to the British wizarding world after the war is over."

"We obviously won't." Hermione said anxiously after listening to Ryan's analysis, "Everything we are doing now is to make the British wizarding world a better place. How can the headmaster think that? Power, money, strength, these things that others have been pursuing are enough for us. All these things in the British wizarding world are not worth mentioning to us."

"But the principal doesn't know." Ryan then said through the Phoenix Mark. "He doesn't know that we have several worlds, and from common sense, there are too few people who don't pursue power, money, and strength. It's understandable that the principal is a little worried."

"Therefore, I think Professor Dumbledore came to us today to remind us of these things and prevent us from going astray. And if we want the headmaster to dispel these doubts, I think there is no other way to do this except to prove with facts over time that we are indeed not ambitious people like the mysterious man. The headmaster will not relax his vigilance against us just because of our answer today."

"Well, what you said makes sense. Let time prove it. Anyway, we don't plan to rule the British wizarding world like the You-Know-Who." Hermione shrugged and answered directly. Then she and Ryan walked towards the library together. Because they had some information to look up in the library.

Wizards have a much longer history of drawing accurate maps than Muggles. In addition, they also add some magic-related content when drawing maps. Ryan went to the library to find those maps to facilitate the location of the three magic plantations. After all, the more suitable the location, the lower the cost of the plantation, and the better the effect of the herbs grown in the end.

The reason they came to school today, in addition to chatting with friends as Christmas was approaching, was to collect some information that they had not paid attention to before. However, after talking with Headmaster Dumbledore, Ryan felt that they now needed to look up the information needed to build a new plantation in advance, which they had previously planned to look at a little later.

After looking up some information in the library, Ryan discovered that there were actually many places in Scotland that were suitable for building magic plantations. It was just that the pure-blood families in the UK were mainly distributed in the rich England, so for convenience, they also opened these magic plantations near the manors in England.

This is why Ryan and his team mainly fight in England. In fact, in history, the power of the British pure-blood families has always been concentrated in England. The four giants chose to build Hogwarts in faraway Scotland in order to avoid the pure-blood families that had previously monopolized magic education. So from a certain perspective, what Ryan and his team are doing now is actually similar to what the four giants did back then. They are all trying to change the British magic world through their own power, and then make the British magic world more in line with their own ideas.

Soon after Ryan and his friends entered the library, the bell for the end of get out of class rang, and soon students rushed into the library to finish their homework.

"Hi, Ryan, Hermione, are you back today?" Just as Ryan was looking at a map near Dundee, someone patted him on the shoulder, and then a familiar voice came from behind.

"Neville, long time no see." Turning around, it was indeed Neville Longbottom standing behind him. As a student with not very good talent, Neville practiced the saying that hard work can make up for lack of talent. When Ryan was in school before, he would almost always go straight to the library after class to do his homework and review today's content.

"Yes, it's been a long time." Neville nodded and said, "By the way, I came here today to thank you. Because of the potion you used before, my parents have begun to recover. The last time I visited them, they seemed to recognize my grandmother."

"Wait, London is now completely under the control of the Death Eaters, especially places like St. Mungo's. How did you go to visit your parents?" After hearing Neville's words, Ryan asked before Hermione had time to answer.

"My parents are not in St. Mungo's now." Neville explained to Ryan and the others. "When the You-Know-Who took control of the Ministry of Magic, my grandmother and I moved my parents out with the help of several healers. At first they lived at home, but as the crisis became more and more serious, my grandmother and the rest of the Longbottom family abandoned their homes in dangerous areas and moved to Hogsmeade."

"Then more than a month ago, Hogsmeade Hospital for Magical Instructions was established, and my grandmother sent my parents to the hospital. Thanks to the suggestion of Healer Meliam, now Sirius' wife. They used a batch of concentration spices and soul healing magic potions that you donated to the hospital a while ago on my parents, and they seem to be working well."

"That's what I prepared for the hostages who were rescued. Many of them were hurt by the Cruciatus Curse." Ryan said to Neville. "Originally, these potions were mainly for those who were just hurt. If it works for your parents, I will try to adjust the formula this time when I go back to see if I can infer a potion suitable for your parents based on the original formula."

"Thank you so much," Neville said excitedly, and then he started sobbing. As a result, because of the loud noise, all three of them were kicked out by Madam Pince.

"I'm sorry, I was too excited just now." Neville apologized to Ryan in the corridor, "I got you kicked out together."

"It's okay. We have basically checked everything." Ryan said, "So it's okay to be kicked out now. By the way, regarding the medicine just now, we have considered using it on patients with more serious injuries, so some initial test products have appeared. But I hope to meet your parents to confirm the specific preparation method of the medicine."
