In the days that followed, Ryan spent some time with his lover. It's just that the biggest difference with normal lovers is that most of the time he spends alone with Hermione is spent studying magic. In addition, they also went to the world of the Rose Maiden to participate in a tea party for the girls, and at the same time, they asked Luo Zhen, an alchemist who really grasped the rules, about some problems they encountered when analyzing the rules. Luo Zhen tells Ryan that it will take some time for the analysis of the sands of time he brought with him last time, after all, the power of time is one of the most complex powers.

Of course, in addition to boring research and study, Ryan also led Hermione to the world of "The Lord of the Rings" to have a good taste of the beautiful scenery of that fantasy world. Naturally, a lot of interesting things happened during the trip. For example, after Ryan led Hermione into his own royal family's private treasure vault in the Riverdale Kingdom, he stood by and watched Hermione, who had always been calm, show a rare look of shock.

But Hermione left the vault stupidly without any jewels, just a batch of books written on parchment, leaves, and even gold leaf, and if it weren't for Ryan's words that she could read them casually, she might have memorized them all. But even so, she took more than 50 books with her, and filled the entire small space bag that she usually used to hold books.

"I think the knowledge in any book is much more precious to me than the gold and silver jewels that fill a swimming pool. As she came out of the vault, Hermione looked at a book of leaves with a look of contentment, a book of leaves that recorded the history of the elves before they arrived in Middle-earth. "Knowledge is the best asset compared to gold and precious stones. ”

Ryan also supports this view, otherwise he would not have put so many books in this treasure trove. Some of these books are about the making of magic items, while the other part is devoted to a variety of histories. Either of them contains valuable information, and even the simplest myths describe a part of the knowledge of the gods and the rules of the world.

Of course, they also found a little time to travel to the world of Pirates of the Caribbean to attend Will and Elizabeth's wedding, and presented a full set of silver cutlery made by elves as gifts.

In the last few days of the summer vacation, Ryan has been sorting out what he's learned during this time. In addition, when Lupin came to treat the last werewolf during the vacation, Ryan made an appointment with him that he would continue to treat the werewolf when he came out of school after school, and that he would send an owl message to Lupin in advance at the store in Hogsmeade.

Lupin also tells Ryan that the Fosco couple he rescued last time decided to stay on the plantation, and as a result, everyone's food level has gone up all at once. According to Lupin, the food on the plantation used to be edible, but now it can be considered a delicacy.

During this time, probably due to the protection of the Burrow, Ryan and the others had only received a few letters from Harry. In one of the letters, Harry wrote that he had seen Malfoy sneaky at the Borgin Burkinbock store in Tumbledown Alley and that he suspected that Malfoy was a Death Eater and was preparing to carry out some kind of conspiracy at the school this year.

I have to say that Harry's intuition is still very strong, and Ryan feels that Voldemort will definitely not give up the sneak attack plan on Hogwarts like in the original text, and Malfoy is the executor of the plan. But the success of this plan is actually based on secrecy, and once it is known in advance, it will die a very ugly death. Ryan is also hoping that Voldemort will carry out this sneak attack this year, so that he can counter the sneak attack and inflict another heavy blow on the Death Eaters.

So in his reply, Ryan expressed his support for Harry's idea. Hopefully, this should give Harry a little warmth in the midst of a group of people who don't understand his point of view.

The day of school finally came. Ryan and the others left the house with their luggage in tow, and then summoned the knight's bus when the apparition moved to a distance of more than a dozen kilometers from the manor.

The Knight Bus appeared in front of them as usual, and the conductor, Stan Sanpak, beckoned them to board. The atmosphere in the car was a little depressing, after all, the recent situation made everyone unhappy. After enduring dozens of minutes of silence, the bus finally drove near King's Cross Station. Ryan and Hermione left the bus, which had a similar atmosphere to a hearse, with their luggage and running away.

"It's hard to imagine that the situation has deteriorated like this on a holiday. Hermione dragged the big suitcase and said, "It's only been more than two months, look at Diagon Alley and look at the atmosphere in the car just now." If this continues, even if the mystery man stops murdering and destroying the wizarding world of Britain, it is estimated that it will be several years backwards. ”

"Normal, this is the real war, and the war, has never changed. Ryan said in a deep voice.

Once at the station, they quickly entered the nine-and-three-quarters platform and boarded the train. After getting on the train, they realized that the war had affected all aspects of the wizarding world, for example, the prefect's compartment seemed to be clearly divided. Only the Gryffindor, Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw prefects sat here, and the two Slytherin prefects didn't come at all.

After greeting a few people, they accepted the arrangement of the student council president and began to inspect the carriage, but when they went out, Hufflepuff prefect Hannah Abbott came to shake Ryan's hand and chatted for a long time before leaving.

"What did Hannah do with you just now?" Hermione asked in a casual tone after stopping a group of second-year students who were trying to throw poop eggs in the car. "Looks like I'm going to thank you. ”

"It's really thanksgiving. Ryan nodded. Her mother wanted to buy a gold defense bracelet, but because of the recent conditions, she would have to wait until two or three months to queue up. The twins and I saw that she was the first to buy it for the sake of her being a member of the book club, and his mother was the first to buy it at a 5% markup, so she came to thank me. ”

"Are those protective magic items selling so well now?" Hermione was a little surprised, she knew the price of a top-of-the-line gold defense bracelet, but she really didn't know that she could get that kind of gratitude just by having Hannah's mother pay an extra amount of money to get the goods in advance.

"It sold very well. "Ryan thought to himself, how can it not sell well when there is a war?" all the orders for defense bracelets were at least half a year later, and the top gold bracelet orders were even scheduled for next year. ”

"Isn't that going to waste too much of your time?" Hermione asked with concern, "I'm worried we're going to be busy this year, and we might run out of time." ”

"Of course not. Ryan smiled a sly smile. "I gave the order for the copper bracelet to the dwarves, and the order for the silver bracelet to the elves. Only the finest gold bracelets are handmade by me. ”

"That's good, too, so that more people can get the protection they deserve. Hermione didn't think there was anything wrong with Ryan doing this, the bracelet made from elves and dwarves Ryan was willing to put it on the shelf, it meant that it was all qualified, performance was the most important thing for this magic item, and it didn't matter who made it.

During the rounds, Ryan sees Malfoy, Pansy and other Slytherin students sitting in a box talking about something, Malfoy looks much haggard compared to last year, which makes Ryan think that this year it is likely that Malfoy will be assigned some kind of mission like Voldemort did. He decided to wait until he arrived at the school and immediately went to the Room of Requirement to check the condition of the vanishing cabinet in order to accurately analyze the situation.

After inspecting all the carriages, Ryan and Hermione ran to greet Harry. After playing side by side last year, their relationship is much closer than before.

"The twins graduated, and I'm really not used to it. Ryan opened a pack of chocolate frogs, broke half of them, handed them to Hermione, and put the other half in his mouth and chewed it. "I feel like it's not as interesting as it was in the carriage now. ”

"No wonder I thought I was missing something when I got in the car today?" Ron said, with a look of realization. "Their business is on track, and there are countless people with pockets full of gold galleons hoping to buy those magical defense items from them. When I went to Diagon Alley to shop, I saw that they were very busy. ”

"It's not all. Luna chimed in, "Our copy of 'Look, This is a Muggle' is also selling well, maybe everyone needs to read something light-hearted at this time." By the way, my father wants to publish an ad for his "Contrarian" in this magazine, do you think it's okay?"

"Absolutely. Hermione nodded. "But I think it's better to change the style of that magazine a little bit, otherwise not many people will read it if it is advertised. ”

"No, I think it's interesting. Luna argued, "It's just that there aren't many people who appreciate it." ”

Soon Hermione and Luna argue over the contents of the magazine, and Ryan and Neville get into the familiar mode of watching the show.

"Are they all right?" Ron leaned over and asked, "I always thought they could fight at any moment." ”

"Don't worry. Neville said, "The two of them often argue about certain issues in the book club, and after a while they will stop on their own." According to Ryan, this is a disagreement between two people's views. ”
