Hogwarts: What are the four great masters doing?

"You rescued Amos, who I am good friends with – we often go fishing together, which is a great Muggle pastime."

"Speaking of Muggle entertainment—due to recent events, a major review has begun within the Ministry of Magic, and many personnel have been transferred."

"I've had to work overtime to get rid of a lot of my collection... well, they're actually pretty harmless, I mean... they're actually completely within the Misuse of Muggle Artifacts Act, but there are some subtle areas of the law."

"Oh, my 'Micro-Eight Furnace'... I just got it a few days ago."

Arthur Weasley complained, and the pain in his expression was barely concealed - Ryan even thought he was about to cry.

"..."

So this is why you've been so busy lately?

Ryan muttered in his heart.

He had heard from the twins that Mr. Arthur Weasley was extremely obsessed with Muggle items - but he was also the director of the Department for the Prevention of Misuse of Muggle Artifacts.

Yes, that's right - the "Misuse of Muggle Artifacts Act" he mentioned was written by him personally, and obviously... he left a lot of loopholes in it to allow him to collect his precious collection.

But then again...

"Perhaps you mean a microwave?"

Harry, who was standing by, pointed out the problem sharply.

"Oh, yes, yes—that's the word..."

So, Mr. Weasley said excitedly.

"By the way, you and Ryan are both from the Muggle world... You might know what a microwave oven is..."

He asked a series of questions about microwave ovens.

Although Harry had seen a microwave oven at his aunt's house, he obviously had only a vague understanding of its principles and only talked about some simple things he knew.

But even so, Mr. Weasley still looked quite surprised.

Hmm... this is consistent with Ryan's opinion of some wizards who like Muggles - they like Muggles and Muggle items, but they really know very little about them.

This is how the wizarding world is now - liking someone and integrating into the magic world are two different things, and the existence of the Statute of Secrecy has almost cut off any possibility of interaction between the two.

But after explaining the situation, Harry frowned and asked, "And - what did you talk about just now...the Department of Mysteries, and Ryan and Dumbledore...what did that mean?"

As soon as he said this.

Not only himself, but also the other Weasleys present were looking over at him.

"Yeah, Dad—you mentioned Newt… maybe Master Newt Scamander? I met him at the Dragon Sanctuary."

And Charlie asked curiously at this moment.

That's right.

Although the attack on the Department of Mysteries had occurred for some time, many people knew about it.

However, since Fudge seemed to intend to target Ryan and Dumbledore through a public opinion campaign, this incident was not reported in the newspapers for a long time and was only spread by word of mouth among relevant personnel in the Ministry of Magic.

The several young wizards present and Charlie, who was active in Romania, were obviously unaware of the situation.

"Oh, that's..."

So, Mr. Arthur looked at Ryan with some confusion.

"The situation is this - Ron, George, Fred, you should all know about the meeting that Cedric's father invited me to attend..."

Ryan naturally had no intention of hiding it.

He briefly explained the circumstances of the matter - including Barty Crouch Jr. and the fact that it might be related to Voldemort, which he did not hide.

After all, after the diary incident, Voldemort's affairs were almost no longer a secret in the Weasley family.

"Harry, this is very dangerous... You must not act on your own again. Think about what we are doing."

And in the silence of the whole room, he sternly reminded Harry alone.

He knew it well - Harry could easily lose his mind when faced with things related to Voldemort.

But Ryan was almost certain that if Voldemort wanted to complete the "Triple Resurrection" ritual, then Harry must be an indispensable part of it.

Therefore, he had to let Harry know the situation, but at the same time, he had to ensure that Harry would never act rashly again.

"I see."

Harry nodded slightly.

His expression was complicated—he still had the hatred for Voldemort and the courage to confront him, but he was a little more cautious.

Because as Ryan said, he knew very well...his life was no longer his own.

He also carries the hope of the return of his mother, Lily Potter.

So of course he wouldn't act recklessly again.

After seeing Harry's serious expression, Ryan felt a little relieved.

On the other hand, although Ryan did not say much about the details of the battle.

But the Weasleys could still imagine the dangers that had been lurking in the Department of Mysteries not long ago.

The legendary Master of Magical Creatures 'Newt Scamander' and 'Heir of Hufflepuff' Ryan Elias - they defeated the vicious dark wizards who attacked the Ministry of Magic and rescued their friend's father.

No matter how it sounds, this is undoubtedly a story of almost epic proportions.

"amazing!"

Mr. Arthur exclaimed in admiration—and in the kitchen, Ms. Molly uttered a similar exclamation.

“How brave.”

Charlie commented.

"That sounds really dangerous."

The twins and Ginny sighed worriedly.

"cool!"

Ron was thrilled.

But then, Gemini spoke.

"So, the Minister of Magic... Fudge, might be targeting you and Dumbledore?"

There was a rare absence of mischievous or mischievous expressions on their faces; instead, they looked very serious - of course, Ryan thought this might be related to the harsh reprimand given to them by Ms. Molly not long ago.

"maybe."

Lane didn't deny it.

"How could he do this?"

After hearing this, Ron frowned tightly: "He's the Minister of Magic - how could he be in cahoots with Voldemort?"

Harry and his good brother had the same expression.

He had not yet met Fudge.

But there was no doubt that Harry was already filled with a strong dislike for him.

Especially when he heard that Fudge not only cooperated with Voldemort, but also planned to send Ryan and Dumbledore to Azkaban through the Wizengamot interrogation.

He hated Azkaban—it had held his godfather there for over a decade, and it had monsters like the Dementors.

What's more... Ryan is now the most important part of bringing back his mother, so Harry naturally cannot accept this.

"Yes... Cornelius Fudge—our captain also said that he is a guy who has no understanding of the actual situation. Many of his political ambitions and ideas are completely without practical value."

And Charlie also frowned at this moment.

"But I never thought he would work with the Dark Lord..."

"Don't worry too much, after all, Dumbledore is here."

Seeing that the atmosphere at the scene was a bit solemn, Ryan also comforted them softly.

"Anyway, that's the situation—you'd better be careful when you're in school next school year, and if you see anyone suspicious, you'd better tell the professors immediately."

"But don't tell that to the new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor... who knows if they might be the next Quirrell."

He reluctantly mentioned this, and the Weasleys naturally nodded solemnly - especially Ginny, who had not yet entered the school and seemed a little frightened at the moment.

But at this moment...

"impossible!"

Percy Weasley, however, had a different opinion: "Mr. Crouch, how could he possibly help Fudge... I mean, he's completely incompatible with Dark wizards!"

He seemed unusually excited and subconsciously raised the medal in his hand that he had been playing with while eating.

This allowed Ryan to see the medal's appearance clearly.

All I saw was the words [Department of International Magical Cooperation - Quidditch Volunteers] written on it.

There is a signature below - [Barty Crouch].

The signature was obviously signed not too long ago, and the ink was still fresh.

"Did you see Barty Crouch Sr. today?"

So, Ryan asked softly.

"Yes."

Percy nodded. "He was there. I saw him talking to the French Minister of Magic. Then a wizard found him. I recognized him. He was Mr. Scrimgeour, the head of the Auror Office... I overheard him. He and Ms. Amelia Burns seemed to be jointly in charge of some of the interrogations."

"I dare say he was definitely interrogating the dark wizards who attacked the Department of Mysteries - Mr. Scrimgeour said that Mr. Crouch's interrogation was a bit too intense, and the dark wizard who was interrogated almost died..."

He talked about what he saw and heard today.

"Mr Crouch was so excited he could hardly hold his voice, I heard him."

"He said - 'The crimes committed by the Dark wizards deserve death, and their existence is an insult to the Ministry of Magic and the honor of wizards'!"

Percy said excitedly, "He has completely overpowered Mr. Scrimgeour—I cannot believe that such a great and distinguished man as Mr. Crouch would... do such a thing!"

His performance surprised Ryan.

Although he always knew that Percy longed to work in the Ministry of Magic and was determined to join the Ministry after graduation.
