Hogwarts: What are the four great masters doing?

So after complaining about his suitcase being "taken away for no reason", Ryan quickly took the initiative to talk to Newt about the topic of magical beasts.

The latter is clearly an introvert, but he is quite talkative when discussing magical creatures.

"I rarely see Pickett approach someone so proactively... Actually, as you know... Bowtruckle is very timid. Pickett is a little bolder, but he always has a hard time getting close to others..."

Newt said, "But it's close to you, like a tree."

"Oh... I think it's because I inherited my Hufflepuff teacher's life magic..."

And Ryan certainly knew the reason - the Seed of Fertility was in his body, and his life essence was even more powerful than all the magical plants in the world.

Bowtruckles are close to plants, so naturally they will be close to them.

"Yes - Ms. Hufflepuff..."

Upon hearing this, Newt was in awe - he had once been a Hufflepuff.

"I heard...you found her treasure."

He said with a nostalgic look: "I also tried to find it when I was in school, together with Rita and Theseus..."

At this point, he stopped reminiscing and asked, "The method you used on the Bowtruckle just now...was that also left by Ms. Hufflepuff?"

"Yes."

Ryan nodded: "The Hufflepuff teacher left behind a lot of unique knowledge about magical beasts - I plan to share them in today's meeting."

This is the truth.

Since he was invited to attend the meeting by Amos Diggory because of his status as the 'heir of Hufflepuff', Ryan would definitely not lose face for his teacher.

When it comes to the study of magical creatures, he's confident that what Hufflepuff has left behind is indeed no less impressive than anyone else's—just like the way he used to appease the Bowtruckle just now, even a magical creature master like Newt had never seen it before.

"That sounds exciting."

Newt said sincerely and expectantly.

"Meow!"

However, while the two were talking, something was constantly moving inside Ryan's wizard robe.

Then, Friday's head popped out from his wizard robe - because it was not convenient when entering the Ministry of Magic, Ryan put it in his own wizard robe.

"Meow?"

It yawned and looked at Newt with some confusion.

"Oh?"

And Newt naturally noticed it.

Then the old wizard's expression began to change.

"A British shorthair... no... that's not right—a half-breed... that's not right either? A magical creature?"

He began to mutter, and his nose twitched constantly, as if he was sniffing something.

And what he muttered surprised Ryan.

This was the first time someone had discovered Friday's abnormality in such a short time... He even determined that Friday was a magical animal!

However, Ryan didn't care too much.

Because he had long known about Newt's character and experience from Dumbledore and Nicolas Flamel - this wizard was recognized by both of them as someone worthy of "absolute trust".

So Ryan planned to tell him what happened on Friday and ask him some questions.

"Yes, it is a magical creature - in fact, Mr. Scamander, I have some questions for you about it..."

However, just when Ryan wanted to ask.

"Ryan...and you are--Mr. Newt Scamander!?"

He and Newt heard a voice instead.

"Cedric?"

Ryan turned his head and saw Cedric walking out of the conference room in front - yes, he and Newt had already walked to the door of the conference room.

"Why are you here...what happened!?"

He opened his mouth in surprise, but stopped talking halfway through.

Because Ryan saw the tag hanging on Cedric at the moment - the identity text on it stated that Cedric was a volunteer who came to assist the meeting process.

At this moment, the face of this Hufflepuff genius, who was always gentle, polite, kind and loyal, was filled with anxiety and panic that was difficult to conceal.

And not just him.

Ryan also saw at this moment, in the conference room behind Cedric.

A large number of wizards gathered in it, and the conference room had obviously been decorated with great care - various magical creatures surrounded the sign of 'Magical Beasts New Rules and Regulations Meeting', which looked magnificent.

But at this moment, every one of the magical zoologists who were invited to attend the meeting in the conference room looked panicked and terrified.

"My father asked me to help... There's no time to explain anymore—Ryan, something happened!"

Cedric's voice was shaking at this moment.

"Just got word from the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, just now—someone broke into the Ministry... They attacked the Department of Mysteries..."

"What?!"*2

Ryan and Newt were naturally surprised to hear this.

"Department of Mysteries?"

Ryan frowned even more at this moment.

He knew about the Department of Mysteries - it was located on the ninth floor of the Ministry of Magic and was the most secretive department in the entire Ministry.

It is said that this institution stores and studies various unknown magical items - either magic props from ancient times or some mysterious magic props.

Everything within this institution is top secret, and only the Minister of Magic and some high-ranking officials know part of the information.

Ministry members who work within this agency are known as 'Unspoken'.

"Who is it!?"

Newt, on the other hand, was clearly more concerned about this issue.

"I don't know, but someone said they saw the symbol of the Deathly Hallows on them—they might be Grindelwald's 'Saints'!"

Cedric said through gritted teeth.

"Aurors have blocked the elevators and entrances between floors..."

He briefly explained the situation.

"Then what are you doing?"

Ryan frowned and said - if it was just the Ministry of Magic that was attacked, there was no reason for Cedric to be so anxious.

"It's my father... He requested an ancient magical item from the Department of Mysteries for today's meeting. The Unspeakable just informed him to go and get it."

"He hasn't come back yet... He must be stuck in there!"

Cedric was thrilled.

After hearing this, Ryan frowned.

That's right.

He had long known from Rita Skeeter's memories that the Department of Mysteries was indeed the most secret agency in the Ministry of Magic.

However, the magic props in it are not completely closed.

For example, the Minister of Magic and senior officials of the Ministry of Magic.

Although they cannot know the specific research content within the Department of Mysteries, they can apply for some special magical props for use.

Even according to Rita Skeeter's gossip, Hogwarts seems to borrow some magical props from the Department of Mysteries every year.

And there is no doubt about it.

Mr. Amos Diggory, as the Director of the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures, is of course also a high-ranking official in the Ministry of Magic.

Considering how much importance he attached to this meeting, it was not surprising that he borrowed an ancient magical prop from the Department of Mysteries.

This is why Cedric is so anxious - an attacker suspected to be Grindelwald's Saint has broken into the Department of Mysteries, and his father is in danger.

But with the entire Ministry of Magic almost under lockdown... he had absolutely no way out.

"I have to save him, Ryan... I can't lose him..."

Cedric gritted his teeth and trembled all over.

But the next moment...

He felt a hand tap his shoulder.

"Relax, Ced."

He looked up and met Ryan's eyes.

There was calmness and composure in those blue eyes.

His voice was firm.

Just like every time I encountered the enemy in the past.

"Your father will be fine."

"I promise."

Chapter 150 Cheers! For the Awareness of Facing Death Calmly!

Ministry of Magic, Department of Mysteries.

【Hall of Death】.

Dim light came from nowhere. In the center of the square room was a huge stone pit, about twenty feet deep.

Huge, numerous stone steps surround the entire house.

And in the center of the huge stone pit where they are clustered, an ancient arch stands.
