The Shopkeeper of All Worlds in the British Wizarding World

Chapter 72 Back to School Time
At the Leaky Cauldron, everyone waved goodbye and agreed to meet on the platform on September 1. Mr. Weasley looked eager to ask Mr. Granger something, but was pulled back by Mrs. Weasley.

The Weasleys and Harry went home through the fireplace, while Ryan went home with the Grangers. On the way back, the car was silent. When the car stopped at Hermione's house, Ryan took the things out of the trunk and said goodbye to the Grangers. He was about to go home, but Hermione caught up with him and stopped him.

After seeing Mr. Granger helping Mrs. Granger into the house, Hermione whispered to Ryan:
"After we return to school, can you teach me how to fight with magic? I see you've been studying this for the entire holiday.

"Why? I remember you have always been a little resistant to fighting. A few days ago you told me that now is not the time to learn fighting." Ryan said in surprise after hearing Hermione's request.

"Because today in the bookstore, when Mr. Weasley and Malfoy were fighting, you were the only one who thought of pulling my parents to a safe place. I realized that there are not many good people like Mr. Weasley. Most people still have certain prejudices against people who can't do magic, or they ignore them.

Not to mention that both the Malfoy family and the Weasley family have considerable power in the wizarding world. So generally speaking, conflicts between them will not escalate and there will not be any major damage. Muggle-borns like us may only be able to rely on our own strength to avoid harm. At least I don't think Malfoy would hesitate to cast a curse on us.

So you are right, we need to protect ourselves, our family and friends. I believe you have learned something about combat during the summer vacation. Are you willing to share this knowledge with me? "

"No problem," Ryan promised. "I can share this knowledge with you when I get back to school."

After saying goodbye to Hermione, Ryan dragged his suitcase back while thinking about Hermione's last words.

"Sure enough, Hermione is a smart person!" Ryan thought. If he hadn't read a lot of analysis in his previous life and his mental age was over 30, he would never have thought of this direction.

At least in the overall situation of the British wizarding world, Muggles and wizards are not considered equal. For example, Hagrid violated the rules and let Dudley grow a pig tail on his buttocks, but he was never punished for it. Wizards who have the concept of equality, such as Mr. Weasley, are regarded as outliers in the wizarding world. Therefore, if wizards of Muggle origin want to live a normal life in the wizarding world, they must work harder to improve their strength. Hermione can think of these at her age, which can only be said to be a gifted person.

After returning home, Ryan took out the diary that was Voldemort's Horcrux. The life magic could clearly sense that there was an evil and twisted life inside.

Ryan thought about it, put the diary in an iron box and threw it into the Wanjie Grocery Store. This way, he should be able to bring the diary to school safely without contacting people.

Ryan originally planned to use the new life magic he had learned to see if he could destroy the book, but when he found out that the book was far more dangerous than he had imagined, he had no choice but to give in. Here he had to admire Voldemort's genius, being able to make such a dangerous item by self-study during his student years, which could only be described as amazing.

Ryan also discovered the distance between himself and the ultimate boss behind the scenes. It seems that he still cannot be complacent and still needs to gain more power through the Grocery Store of All Worlds.

The rest of the holiday was peaceful. Her father, Mr. Lambert, had been in seclusion, claiming that he was going to write a great novel. Hermione expressed her appreciation for Lockhart's ability in several encounters, and thought that she could ask the professor some questions about defense against the dark arts after school. However, this time Hermione was not as obsessed with Lockhart as in the original book. Because when she shared the content of Lockhart's novel with Ryan, Ryan told her that their adventures last year were not worse than Lockhart's adventures at all, at least the three-headed dog was much more dangerous than vampires in terms of classification. Not to mention the mysterious man.

So you can respect Lockhart as an adventurous senior, but there is no need to worship him. Think about it, which teacher in Hogwarts has less honor than Lockhart, but Lockhart made his experience public. (Without solid evidence, you definitely can't say that Lockhart is a liar, otherwise it will definitely arouse Hermione's rebellious emotions.)
Hermione thought for a while and admitted that she was somewhat influenced by the novel. In addition, Lockhart was indeed charming, so she was a little fascinated by Lockhart. Now that she has figured it out, she just regards Lockhart as a very powerful professor.

Time passed quickly, and it was September 9st in a blink of an eye. Mr. Lambert finally ended his retreat, came out of his house and drove Ryan to King's Cross Station.

Along the way, Mr. Lambert was in an excited state, talking nonstop to Ryan about the setting of his new novel. As a result, due to excessive excitement, he failed to brake in time when passing a traffic light and unfortunately rear-ended the car in front.

Although it was a minor collision and no one was injured, it still took a long time to deal with it. When the father and son hurried to the station with the luggage cart, they ran into Harry and the Weasley family who were also late.

After saying hello, the Weasleys began to pass through the wall one by one, and Ryan said goodbye to his father. Watching Mr. Lambert walk out of the door, Ryan heard a thump behind him before he turned around.

Turning around, Ryan saw Harry and Ron lying on the ground, and two luggage carts overturned, with the luggage scattered all over the ground.

There was a circle of people pointing at the two of them, Ryan took this opportunity to squeeze into the crowd and walked over to them: "What happened? Why are you in such a mess."

"I don't know what's going on, but the passage seems to be blocked." Harry said to Ryan, holding his ribs.

Ryan walked to the wall and touched it. Sure enough, the wall was blocked. This must be the masterpiece of Dobby the house-elf.

Watching the big clock in the station ticking towards the departure time, Harry tried again to push the cart against the wall, but the barrier didn't budge.

It seems that now, thanks to the enthusiastic help of the house-elf Dobby, Harry is successfully trapped in the train station and cannot go to Hogwarts. Similarly, Ryan and Ron are also trapped here as collateral damage.

Ryan had to say that the way the house-elf Dobby saved him was really unacceptable, but this was good news for Ryan, because it meant that he had the opportunity to earn deflection points. Thinking of this, Ryan suddenly felt a lot happier.
