"Why wouldn't Principal Dundeledore take our advice?" Hermione asked Ryan bluntly on the way back to the dorm. "I don't think we're wrong. ”

"Yes, there is nothing wrong with that, but as the leader of the White Wizards, Mr. Headmaster certainly can't be as reckless as we are. He had so much to think about. For example, after we arm everyone, there will definitely be some neutral pure-blood wizards who will fall to the mystery man. This will lead to unfavorable results for the rest of the war. ”

"At the end of the day, we're too weak. Hermione shook her head, her brown hair fluttering and brushing Ryan's nose, making his nose tickle a little, "Professor Dumbledore can stop the mystery man, but neither the members of the Order of the Phoenix nor the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic are any match for those crazy dark wizards in battle. Not to mention that our Headmaster, Dumbledore, has so much to guard that he can't go around attacking and killing like the Mysteries. In this case, the principal can only compromise as much as possible in order to protect as many people as possible. ”

"So that's the meaning of the two of our covert operations, and now it seems that this covert operation is going to be done in this way for a long time. "Ryan took this opportunity to test Dumbledore today, and it turned out that the Headmaster should have recognized the current situation, but reality forced him to do these things the way he had done in the past.

In this case, Ryan finds that he has to rely on himself for what he wants to do. Fortunately, he has a strong enough golden finger that should be able to support him to do the things he wants to do.

In short, after these experiences today. Ryan once again decided that improving his own strength was the only way to turn the tide of the situation in the direction he wanted. So for the next period of time, he spent all his free time every day on controlling the rules of alchemy.

As a result, Ryan had a busy time, but the hard work paid off, and on the morning of Hermione's transfiguration exam, Ryan had completed all the preparations for the Making of the Rose Madonna. Now in the Ten Thousand Worlds Grocery Store, four small balls representing earth, water, fire, and wind are slowly spinning on an alchemy array. Even people who don't know alchemy can feel the power contained in these things.

Of course, even if these achievements seem to be one step away from making the Madonna of Roses, they are still a long way off. This distance is not only in the production of Our Lady of Roses, but also in the level of understanding of the laws of alchemy. However, Teacher Luo Zhen was very satisfied with Ryan's current progress, and he warned Ryan not to be impatient at this time.

"Then when is the right time for me to break through?" Ryan asked curiously, at this time Hermione was in the laboratory for a pre-exam habitual review, flipping through the Ministry of Magic's booklet: "Common Mistakes of Phantom Manifestation and How to Avoid It", Ryan took this opportunity to go to the world of the Rose Maiden and ask Teacher Luo Zhen directly.

"I don't know. Luo Zhen shook his head helplessly. "Even if the rules we choose to master are very similar, there are still big differences in our understanding of the rules because of the different reasons between the two of us, so you can't just copy my experience. The only lesson I can tell you is that when you really master the rule, you will know in your heart that the time has come. ”

"Well, it looks like I'll have to wait now. Ryan stroked his hair, and then accompanied Teacher Luo Zhen and Alice to chat for a while before saying goodbye to them and returning to the laboratory.

"How's it going? Do you have a clue now?" asked Hermione without even raising her head when she heard Ryan appear in the lab.

"I guess there is. Ryan replied in a more determined tone.

"That's good. Hermione also replied in a cheerful tone, "At least one of the two of us needs to be at the level of Professor Dumbledore or the mysterious man in this war, only then can we protect innocent people in this war and realize our dreams." If we don't have enough strength, no one will want to listen to what we have to say. ”

"And how do you understand the rules of death?" Ryan asked.

"It's a little bit better than it used to be, but it's still a long way from mastering. So the rest of the hope can only be pinned on you. Hermione said, closing the book, looking at Ryan seriously.

Hermione said this because in a society of wizards, power is everything. So Ryan is now improving his strength not only to defeat the enemy in wartime, but also to change the entire wizarding world after the war, just as he wishes.

Of course, it's too early to think about this in the current environment. Soon, Ryan put his thoughts away and left the lab with Hermione for lunch in the auditorium.

"—There should be very few people in Potions class this afternoon, and we're all going to take the exam...... Harry. According to what I said, you should take this opportunity to find a way to soften Slughorn!" As soon as he sat down at the table, Ryan heard what Ron was talking to Harry.

"I've thought of dozens of options, but none of them are 100% safe. Unless we're lucky enough to make a myriad of coincidences—"

"Lucky," Ron said suddenly, "Harry, yes—lucky!"

"What? what are you talking about?" Harry was a little confused, but Ron reacted immediately and turned to look at Ryan and asked, "Is that elixir of yours still there?"

"Of course it's still there. Ryan nodded. "I only consumed a few drops when I researched before, and I collected the rest. Because there's really not a place where I need this potion lately. ”

"I see. Hermione reacted immediately. "What you mean is to use the bottle of Elixir in Ryan's hand to give Harry enough luck in a short period of time, and then use that luck to make Harry's plan go smoothly. Finally got Professor Slughorn's memory, right?"

"That's right. Ron nodded, then looked very embarrassed. "Of course, I know that elixirs are expensive, so-"

"So I'll pay you the money for the elixir. Harry picked up and said, "I won't let you lose." ”

"With our relationship, there is no need to say anything about loss and non-loss. Ryan waved his hand generously, "You can directly take that bottle of elixir when you need it, and you can also tell me directly if you need my help in any other way." After all, there's only one chance to pry Slughorn's mouth open, and I think it's important to be as good as possible. ”

"If that's the case, I hope—" Harry began to talk about his plan, and after listening to him, Ryan found that there were still too many uncertainties in the plan, and it seemed that he could only hope for the effect of the elixir.

"Take it easy, Harry. Your plan has invested all of our resources in one go, and I can be sure we can't do anything better than this. Ryan reassured. "The next thing we have to do is see if the effect of the elixir is the same as what Professor Slughorn said. ”
