Hogwarts: What are the four great masters doing?

But even so, the atmosphere of terror still permeated the school.

Recently, Ryan often saw little wizards in the fifth or seventh grade wandering around the castle like ghosts, muttering "I'm done" and "I'm done".

Occasionally, you would see little wizards of the same grade showing excitement far beyond normal.

"Hey! I'm hit!"

They tend to jump around as if they could fly without the help of a broom.

After two weeks of fermentation, this tense chain reaction eventually spread to other grades that were about to take final exams.

The Geminis keenly sensed a business opportunity and developed a new alchemical gadget called 'Elias's Wisdom Ball'.

"Wear it with you, and you will gain Elias' wisdom and admonitions!"

This is their slogan.

It is said that this beautiful colorful ball was sold out on the same day.

Although most of the young wizards knew it was fake, at the critical moment of the final exam... who cares?

"They're only 7 copper knuts... I mean, if that's enough money to give me peace of mind, why not buy one?"

From this point of view, Gemini has a very accurate grasp of the target users' mentality.

Later, adhering to the principle of "you can't pull a sheep by pointing at it", they launched other brands of smart balls while the iron was hot.

"Are you interested in Qiu Zhang's Wisdom Ball, the second-year wizard?"

"Third-year wizards—Cedric's Wisdom Ball is now out!"

They have launched different brands of smart balls for each grade.

It is worth mentioning that after the final exams for all grades were over, the twins conducted a statistics and found that the worst-selling item was 'Percy Weasley's Wisdom Ball'.

It ultimately sold only three.

"Percy bought two for himself, and there's also a Ravenclaw girl named Penelope... I bet there's something wrong between Percy and her!"

"He's too busy chasing Fred and George to show off his perfect OWLs exam results..."

At this moment, Ron was gossiping in front of Ryan.

He was very excited and his body was shaking.

"But I think the orb might actually be useful—remember? I managed to turn that stone into a teapot during my Transfiguration exam... It didn't have a handle, but that was pretty impressive, wasn't it?"

Although he only got 4 A's in many subjects in the final exam, he was obviously very satisfied with the result.

"..."

Ryan looked speechlessly at the front of Ron's wizard robe - there, a colorful magic ball was hung in the most conspicuous position, shaking continuously with Ron's movements.

Ryan's portrait appeared and disappeared in the colorful mist, and from time to time he uttered wooden voices such as "You can do it!", "Come on!", and "You can do it!"

Obviously, this is the so-called 'wisdom and admonition of Elias' that Gemini promotes.

"Excellent - if Percy needs any help with Fred and George, he can contact me."

So, Ryan said with a smile.

What made him even more speechless was that Ron was not the only one with colorful magic balls hanging on his body.

"Harry is fine...Hermione, what are you doing?"

Ryan said helplessly as he saw that Harry and Hermione were also wearing the same colorful magic balls.

Harry: “?”

What do you mean I just let it go?

But Hermione couldn't help laughing.

"It's a trend - not just us, Seamus, Dean and Neville all bought one too... Neville even bought five, he said he wanted one for his parents, grandmother and uncle..."

She said so.

"Besides, what Ron said seems to be right—not just him and Harry, but I heard that Neville and the others also did better than expected in their exams... Oh, except for Seamus, who burned off Professor Flitwick's beard in his Charms exam and got a D."

"That's because they've been studying very hard recently in order to join the Pavatto Club next semester... and Professor Snape obviously let them down in the Potions exam this year..."

Ryan stopped talking here.

"Never mind. Whatever."

He chose to give up - if he had anything to say, he would just go back and talk to Gemini in person.

Although the two brothers have been hiding from him very well recently, even Ryan found it difficult to catch them when he had the Marauder's Map.

but...

"Anyway, I'll be visiting the Burrow during the second half of the summer vacation, and they won't be able to hide away then."

Ryan said viciously.

As for Ryan's own final exam results, there was naturally no need to explain much - in fact, the professors didn't really test him at all and just gave him an 'O' by default.

Among them, Snape was the most extreme.

"Three hours wasted watching you brew a simple fire potion? I don't have time for that kind of crap, Elias!"

He didn't let Ryan take the exam at all, but took him directly to the Potions Office to study the 'Soul Radiance Potion'.

When it comes to summer vacation, Ron and Hermione naturally start talking.

“I’m also planning on getting a new pet next term, probably a cat too – I think Fridays are cute.”

Hermione said excitedly, "And during the summer vacation, Mr. Gilderoy Lockhart has a new book signing event... It's fantastic!"

"Mom and Dad said Charlie would be back for the summer break. He got a bonus after bringing Norbeta back to the sanctuary—and he said he'd buy me a new wand."

Ron also said excitedly.

From this we can see that no matter whether you are a top student or a poor student, you obviously have the same expectations for summer vacation.

Of course, besides looking forward to summer vacation.

Ron and Hermione naturally expressed their reluctance to leave the castle and some concerns.

"Peter Pettigrew, and... He Whose Name Shall Not Be Mentioned, they might still be in school, right?"

Hermione was a little worried.

"Yeah—we heard Hagrid talk about those Acromantulas the other day... you know, Ryan, those big scary spiders."

Ron also added.

"Hagrid said that after they were driven out of the Forbidden Forest, they suddenly started dying in large numbers recently. Hagrid secretly went out to check on the situation, but he couldn't find the murderer. He could only confirm that they were helpless in front of the murderer... This is terrible. I dare say it must be the work of You-Know-Who!"

But after hearing this, Ryan's expression was a little strange.

Because he could probably guess who did it.

"Do not worry."

But he obviously didn't say much, just comforting Hermione and Ron: "Voldemort may still be in the castle, but don't forget - Headmaster Dumbledore will also stay in the castle... He is very weak, he dare not do anything."

And after hearing his comfort, especially after hearing Dumbledore's name.

Ron and Hermione were slightly relieved of their worries.

But then they immediately realized that Harry hadn't said a word about the summer vacation from beginning to end.

He just sat there in silence.

Ron and Hermione certainly understood why Harry was so silent.

Most little wizards probably look forward to summer vacation and go home to reunite with their families.

But Harry Potter was clearly an exception—Number 4 Privet Drive was clearly not like a home to him, but more like a cage.

"Harry—I'm sorry... I mean, you can come to my house during the summer vacation. Ryan will be there too. It will be really lively then!"

So at this moment, Ron also hurriedly said.

"Oh, Ron...you don't need this."

But at this moment, Harry shook his head.

He forced a smile and explained, "Of course I'd like to visit you, but I need to go back to my aunt's house first. Ryan said that I must go back and stay for at least a month every year to ensure that the magic in me can continue to be maintained."

That's right.

Number 4, Privet Drive, was not really home to him—if he could have helped himself, he would have preferred to stay at school and keep Voldemort company rather than go back.

But he had to go back now.

Because the ancient magic in him requires blood ties to maintain it.

So, Harry must return to his aunt's house - to ensure that the fragments of his mother's soul remain in him, to... bring her back.

So at this moment, Harry looked at Ryan.

"Speaking of which, Ryan...the semester is almost over."

"Regarding bringing back that potion for my mother—when can I officially participate in the research?"

he asked sincerely.

Ever since learning that Ryan and Snape were trying to bring his mother back, Harry naturally wanted to participate in the experiment.

In fact - in the first few days after learning the news, Harry dreamed almost every night that Ryan told him to go to the Potions Office.

This struck Harry as utterly absurd.

He never imagined that one day he would actually long to go to the Potions Office.

But until today, Ryan has not informed him to participate in the experiment.

But seeing that there were only a few days left in this semester, he couldn't hold back any longer.

He was eager to know the progress of the experiment, and he desperately longed for the comfort of a glimmer of hope - only in this way would he have enough reason to convince himself to stay at number four, Privet Drive during the summer vacation.

After hearing Harry's question, Ryan hesitated for a moment.

Then he nodded.

"In fact, the research on that potion has indeed reached a critical stage. Professor Snape and I intend to conduct a test before the end of the semester to determine Ms. Lily's condition... If you have time..."
