After getting what they wanted, Ryan and Hermione had lunch with Sirius at 12 Grimmauld Place. Of course, the preparation of lunch is prepared by three people together. It was only at this time that Ryan and the others knew that Merrium was not here now, but was living with Kreacher, Hogsmeade and Tonks.

"Although there is a lot of protective magic here, it is very safe. But after all, this is under the control of the dark wizards, and there are even dark wizards staring at the door. In this case, it is natural not to go out, and staying in such a gloomy mansion all day is not conducive to the health of the pregnant woman and the fetus. So I sent them all to my cousin, and of course I would visit her whenever I could. ”

"You're doing the right thing. Hermione used her wand to direct the knives on the board to cut the lamb into small pieces, and then sprayed some spices from the wand and put it into the pot with the lamb. "From a medical point of view, pregnant women need to be in the sun a lot and need to be in a good mood. You simply can't meet these requirements here. And in Hogsmeade, it was all easy. ”

"You're right. Sirius nodded appreciatively. "Since Merrium moved to Hogsmeade to live with Tonks and my cousin, I think she looks much better than she did when she was here. ”

"That's right, Sirius. Ryan asked, cutting a bunch of onions, putting them in the pot and closing the lid. "Didn't you say that Mrs. Malfoy also lived in this house, and why didn't she be seen all this time?"

"Hah, don't say it's you, even I only see him once or twice a week. Sirius squeezed his eyes and grimaced, which could have been spicy from the onion he had just chopped. "We've been trying to avoid seeing each other since she moved in, and now I'm fine, and I don't usually go to the third floor, and my cousin and the two Malfoys don't try to get to the first floor. Anyway, Kreacher would bring them food every day, and all kinds of facilities were all upstairs. ”

Therefore, after making lunch, Ryan and the three of them went straight to eat, and after eating and drinking black tea and chatting for a while, they said goodbye to Sirius and left Hogsmeade 12 and returned to their manor.

"Alright, now we've got what you need. What are we going to do next?" Hermione asked directly after returning to her manor, "Is it to ambush the lone Death Eaters at the gates of those manors?"

"It's not an ambush of a lone Death Eater. Ryan shook his head. "It's about doing a big thing, and this thing is to destroy the foundation of the existence of those pure-blood families from the root. Because now, even with the help of the Celestial Empire monks, we are still on the inferior side in terms of resources. I think if we can't destroy the pure-blood families' sources of resources, it's only a matter of time before we fail in the current situation of bloodletting with each other. ”

"Does this have to be done?" asked Hermione, looking at Ryan, her voice trembling. "Do we really need to do this, to destroy the cornerstones of British magic. ”

"I don't want that either. Ryan looked at Hermione's face and said in a tone of seriousness that had never been seen before. "Seriously, it's also a no-brainer. Because it is easy to destroy and difficult to build, once these things are destroyed, it is not possible to rebuild them in a short time. ”

"Then why are you—" Hermione was interrupted by Ryan before she could finish her words. "However, now these things have become weapons used by the enemy to attack us. They are pledged for money and supplies, and then used to hire a large number of dark wizards to attack us again and again. And the mysterious man hides behind, waiting for our strength to be slowly weakened, and then rush out and completely destroy everything we hold dear. ”

"On top of that, these places are constantly producing a steady stream of supplies for the Death Eaters, giving them the strength to fight us, putting a large number of innocents at risk. So now when we can't find and destroy the mysterious person, this is the only way to contain the enemy's power. After saying that, Ryan shook his head a little helplessly.

"I know you're right, I just can't take it for a while. Hermione said as she took Ryan's hand, "But if you have to, then let me be with you." If we're still alive after the war is over, I hope to rebuild these things with you. Rebuild them house by house. ”

Soon, after an afternoon of discussion, the first target was confirmed, a large magical plantation belonging to the Malfoy family. Before the outbreak of the war, that plantation accounted for 30% of Britain's potions supply.

"We don't know who is in control of the plantation, but we can be sure that it's under the control of a mysterious person. And for the record, the Malfoy family plantations are all grouped together with the Crabbe family and the Goyle family, and if we are lucky, we can destroy them all at once. After finalizing the target, Hermione concluded.

The Malfoys' Plantation, located in Wiltshire, is a large plantation with a concentration of plains, woodlands, mountains, caves, swampy wetlands and water surfaces. Together with the plantations of the Crabbe family and the Gower family, the total area is close to 100 acres. After flying over the plantation to see the scene, Ryan and the others had to urgently revise their plans.

"How can this plantation be so big?" Hermione looked at the 3D map of Malfoy Plantation that had been passed back from the pile of scout balls that had just been dropped in the living quarters of the ship. "I always thought that the so-called Potions Plantation was the same as the Hogwarts greenhouse, at most there were more rooms in the greenhouse. ”

"Magical plant cultivation is a very complex matter, at least more than half of the magic plants are difficult to grow indoors or greenhouses, and must be cultivated in wild or semi-wild methods. This is the reason why the Malfoy family was able to occupy a place in the supply of potions raw materials in the past, but ordinary people did not have such a huge breeding ground. ”

Ryan said and waved his hand at the 3D map on the table, which immediately changed from a sandbox-like color to a transparent light blue. On the pale blue map, Ryan identified a dozen colored spots of light and seven or eight buildings.

"Look, they used different terrains and various magic arrays to create different climates and magical environments, and built semi-independent open-air plantations. In this way, they were able to grow a large number of various magical plants that were common in Eurasia and even the Americas. Ryan explained to the others as he pointed to the points of light. "These different colored dots of light represent the different uses of magic arrays in the area, such as regulating temperature, humidity, mana concentration, mana flow speed, and the proportion of different mana in the area. ”

"And what are these marked buildings?" asked the rose crystal floating in the air, pointing to the specially circled buildings on the map. "I can only recognize some of them as greenhouses. ”

"You're right. Ryan nodded to the Rose Crystal. "Some of these buildings are indeed greenhouses, because some magical plants are either aggressive or have extremely demanding survival requirements, so it is obviously not appropriate to plant them in the open air, and at this time, a fully enclosed greenhouse is needed to ensure the survival of the plants. ”

"The rest of the buildings are some rooms dedicated to magic arrays, some are dormitories for house-elves, some are laboratories or workshops for processing these magic materials, and some are guards' residences. Ryan said as he pointed his wand across the map one by one, but soon his wand stopped in a small room with a large space beneath it.

"But I don't know what this place is. Ryan frowned slightly. "The last time I was in France, I talked to Lucius Malfoy about his family's plantation, and according to him, the house was supposed to be a potion storehouse, with a small underground vault underneath, but definitely not the size of the current one close to a football field. ”

"Then we'll focus on this in a moment. Hermione turned to Ryan and said, "Now we need to make a plan of action for a while, it's too big here, we need to come up with an efficient plan." ”
