Chapter 563: Back to School (Asking for Subscriptions, Asking for Collections, Asking for Tickets)

Soon a sumptuous dinner was prepared and served by Mrs. Montgomery, who was not an old pure-blood family. So there are no house-elves at home, so you can only cook by yourself. Of course, their financial situation was much better than that of the Weasleys, from the size of the manor to the decoration of the rooms. Ryan suspects that this is probably due to the fact that their family is a dual-income family with only three children, which is much better than the Weasleys' seven-child single-income family.

After a quick meal in silence, several people went upstairs together to check the little one's physical condition. After confirming that the little one had become a new werewolf, Mrs. Montgomery stayed upstairs to take care of her young son, while Mr. Montgomery returned to the living room with Ryan to discuss plans for the future.

"I think the rest of my family, with the exception of our two daughters who attend Hogwarts, has to leave England. Mr. Montgomery, an international trader, said with a sigh. "Because the experience of my child being attacked by werewolves and almost killing me this time has made me realize that Britain is not so safe now, and it can even be said that except for Hogwarts Castle, where Professor Dumbledore is sitting, all other places may be the next target of the evil and crazy Death Eaters. ”

Looking at Mr. Montgomery, who was frightened by this incident, Ryan really felt the helplessness and sadness of an ordinary person who was isolated and helpless in this war-torn environment. After making eye contact with Ryan, Professor Lupin extended his invitation on behalf of the big guy. "You can stay with us, we have a home of our own as new werewolves in the north of Europe, and we can provide enough help for your son in that place. At the same time, we new werewolves need international traders like youβ€”"

"Are there so many of you already?" said Mr. Montgomery, somewhat shocked after listening to Professor Lupin's briefing, "I never knew you had done so much until my friend Clark told me about it. ”

"yes, who would pay attention to us werewolves?" said Lupin, with a somewhat self-deprecating laugh, and then looked at Mr. Montgomery very earnestly. "You don't need to make a decision right away, we'll wait for you, just let us know when you've decided. ”

"No more thought, we decided to leave the UK as soon as possible. I'm sending an owl to the Ministry of Magic tonight to resign. At this moment Mrs. Montgomery came down the stairs, and then stood beside her husband, looked at Lane and said, and then turned to look at her husband. "My dear, we shouldn't hesitate any longer. I think the Death Eaters might come back again when they find out that little Andrew wasn't dead, and our estate won't be able to stop them, and I don't want our son to suffer any more of that. ”

"You're right. It may have been the topic of children that struck Mr. Montgomery, and he nodded slightly. "But you love your job so much, and I remember what you said to me when I was in seventh gradeβ€”"

"But all of this is no more important than life. Mrs. Montgomery shook her head slightly, and said that as a mother, she valued her children above all else. "I'm sure I'll still be able to start over after I go somewhere else, and now we don't have much financial burden after our two daughters go to school, so we don't have to worry about moving to a new place to live. ”

"Well, you're very thoughtful. So let's do it. Mr. Montgomery made up his mind, and then turned to look at Lupin. "I am willing to work for you, and I only hope that in your place our youngest son will grow up as normal as everyone else, and will no longer be subjected to such hateful attacks as he is now. ”

"You don't have to worry about it. Lupin comforted in a kind voice. "We also have little children there, and I don't think Andrew will feel lonely there, and you know when you go over there that our plantation is producing more and more things and business is getting better and better. But because werewolves most of us are not well educated, we need you to help us. I think you're going to be there to show your worth. ”

After Lupin briefly talked about the current trade links between the plantation and the magical world of various countries, especially the magic world of the Celestial Empire, Ryan saw that the tension caused by the Montgomeries going to an unknown place had eased a lot with Lupin's explanation.

After some deliberation, Professor Lupin and Clark decided to spend the night at Montgomery Manor to protect the Montgomeries so that little Andrew could leave together the next morning. After seeing that everything was arranged, Ryan and Hermione took their leave to the owner of the manor.

"We're going back to Hogwarts now, Hogwarts' recent magical defense has been more than a notch, and we used Professor Dumbledore's fireplace to get here. So we can't keep him waiting too long for us now. Lane said to the Montgomerys.

"If that's the case, I won't keep you, but this time I'm really grateful to you for saving our children. If there is anything you need us in the future, please let us know, and we will do our best to help you. Mr. Montgomery took his wife's hand and said to Lane and them, "I wish you all the best." ”

"Well, goodbye. With that, Ryan turned and strode into the green flames of the fireplace. After the word Hogwarts was spoken, he left Montgomery Manor.

"Good evening, Ryan. As soon as Ryan walked out of the fireplace in the Headmaster's office at Hogwarts, Professor Dumbledore, who was manipulating the pile of silver utensils on the table to exhale smoke, immediately greeted him and asked, "How is that Montgomery kid doing?"

"The child was rescued, and now the child's life is no longer in danger. Ryan said as he pulled out his wand to help Hermione, who had just arrived, clean up the soot from her body, and then looked at Professor Dumbledore. "But he's still a werewolf, and I can't reverse the process. ”

"It's not your fault. Headmaster Dumbledore shifted to the back of the table and sat down. "The situation is becoming more and more chaotic, and both the Order of the Phoenix and the Ministry of Magic are trying their best to keep society in order and stability. But we can't protect everyone. ”

"So why not arm everyone and train everyone in combat like Ryan did. Hermione had always been very respectful of authority, but today, after seeing the miserable condition of her victim, she couldn't help but feel the urge to ask Dumbledore her own question.

"Child, we don't have to let innocents get hurt, the war should be handed over to the fighters who participated in the war, and the civilians should not be drawn into the war. Dumbledore looked at Hermione and said.

Dumbledore's view is a traditional view of war in the wizarding world, that is, war belongs only to those who participate in it, and has nothing to do with civilians. This view is not wrong, as there were not many people in the wizarding world before this war, especially before the law of secrecy was abolished. So every war of wizards is a limited war. Because the purpose of the war is to seize control of the wizarding world, with the small number of wizards in Britain, if there is a full-scale war, it is likely that there will be few people after the victory of the war.

But after Voldemort became half-insane by making Horcruxes, he broke this rule completely, but Headmaster Dumbledore still saw the present war with a sense of the past.

"But now that the Mystics have drawn ordinary people into the war, it is not surprising that they can do anything evil if they can use the Imperius Curse to control the child to hurt their grandfather or order the werewolf to bite the child. In this case, I think everyone should learn to master the power to protect themselves. Ryan said to Dumbledore with some excitement.

"Let's talk about this later. Dumbledore said, pressing his hands down. "It's not early now, I think you're tired after a busy afternoon, so you might as well go back to your dorm room and rest. ”

"Good night, Mr. Headmaster, then. Seeing that the Headmaster didn't want to continue talking about the issue, Ryan took Hermione along with him to say goodnight to Professor Dumbledore before leaving the Headmaster's office.
