For the rest of the Christmas break, Ryan stayed in the room he had lived in during the summer vacation at 12 Greenmore Place. During this time, he spent a lot of time making some magic items for the Order of the Phoenix. By the way, a lot of effort has been put into developing the next generation of upgraded Magic Defense Bracelets.

In the last week of the holiday, Ryan finally finished the production of the upgraded bracelet: the main body was gold, which was inlaid with the magic runes of Mithril brought from the world of "The Lord of the Rings" and imitation oylon bronze smelted according to the technology of the Hogwarts Secret Library, in addition to several pieces of cut red and blue spinel as magic nodes.

When he came to the study on the second floor with the finished product, he heard Ron's voice coming from inside: "Why are you helping Ryan with his homework and not willing to show me the papers? I know you're his girlfriend, but you're a bit too much." ”

"Because Ryan is busy with business, and he already has all this knowledge, but he is too busy working for the Order of the Phoenix to write. Although I can't help him with what he does, I can help him with some worries in this regard. At this point, Hermione paused. "But your problem is that you don't have this knowledge at all, don't forget that we still have to take the test this year. Ls。 It's not okay to have the same learning attitude as before. ”

Hearing this, Ryan quickly pushed the door in to interrupt their argument, and then showed them his new product. Just as Ryan was introducing the new product, Sirius suddenly walked in with a happy face, and at the same time shouted, "Good news, we received great news today." ”

"Ryan, why are you here?" Sirius was stunned when he saw Ryan, because Ryan had been in the alchemy lab for almost the past few days, except for meal time. So now that I saw Ryan Sirius, I was naturally a little surprised.

"My new defense bracelet is out, and even another attack by that snake will give the user a chance to draw his wand. With that, he took out the gold bracelet and handed it to Sirius.

"Ah, that's great. Don't worry, money is not a problem, I can afford to buy as much as I want, even if you want the materials, I can help you get them. Sirius took the bracelet and looked at it, and with the eyes of his pure-blood family, he quickly saw that it was extraordinary.

"Now it's not a matter of cost and raw materials, the core is that the difficulty of manufacturing this upgraded bracelet has also risen to a higher level. I can only make one even if I dedicate myself to it for a month, and you have this because I had the idea to make a rough before, so I can process that rough into a finished product in just one week. Ryan explained to Sirius, who was now full of tyrants, that he had to restrain his kryptonite impulses.

"By the way, what's the good news you just said?" Lane began to divert the conversation and ask Sirius what he was going to say when he walked through the door, not wanting to continue the discussion with Sirius, who was illiterate in alchemy.

"I forgot if you didn't remind me, I was a little excited when I saw your bracelet just now. Sirius snorted and said, "Today we got the exact news that the giant tribe that had worried us had completely disappeared, along with three hardcore Death Eaters, and Voldemort had tortured a group of Death Eaters one by one with the Mind Drill Charm at the meeting. ”

"Really?" "When did this happen?" Ron and Harry immediately hugged and pestered Sirius. Hermione, on the other hand, grimaced at Ryan while the three of them weren't looking.

"Disappear? what's going on?" Harry's voice rang over, deep puzzled. "After all, they're giants, there are dozens of them that big, and they don't travel by magic. Plus there are three Death Eaters, how can they all disappear without anyone else knowing!"

But that's just the way it is. Sirius also had a confused look on his face. "We have received information that the Russian Ministry of Magic was the first to discover a group of Muggles that had been kidnapped and rescued by the Death Eaters. Then, according to these clues, the location of the former giants was found. But only six giants were found there, scared half to death. The only thing they would say was that they were all dead. ”

"All dead?" said Harry and Ron, Sirius nodding across from them. "That's right, but the members of the Russian Ministry of Magic found nothing but some blood stains that had frozen into ice in the valley. Even when they checked it, they only found traces of defensive magic left by the three Death Eaters from before, and there were no traces of any magic beyond that. ”

"You mean, if something attacked these giants and Death Eaters, the attackers were able to achieve their goal in such a short time that they didn't even have enough time to react and give a warning if something attacked them?" "God, this is terrible. ”

"If that's it, if it's not wrong. The Russian Ministry of Magic has now moved the remaining six giants elsewhere, and at least we don't have to worry about Voldemort pulling them over and causing us trouble. Sirius had a relaxed expression.

"But, don't you think it's weird?" asked Hermione. "I don't think this kind of thing is common even in the wizarding world. ”

"It's really not common. Sirius nodded. "But it's not unheard of in the wizarding world. And we don't have much energy for Voldemort and his Death Eaters right now to do something that doesn't matter to us that happens thousands of kilometers away. ”

"Sounds like good news. Ryan thought, at least that way, not too many people would pay attention there, and he wouldn't have to worry about what he was doing before he was discovered.

"By the way, there is also good news, St. Munger's side has found the antidote to snake venom, and Arthur will be discharged from the hospital in the next two days. Sirius concluded.

"That's great!" said Ryan, and then, at Ryan and Hermione's request, Sirius agreed to take the two of them to St. Munger to visit Mr. Weasley in the afternoon.

It was a nice afternoon, and in the rare winter sun, a group of three appeared in front of an old-fashioned red-brick department store.

"When we arrived, this was St. Mungo, Diagon Alley didn't have enough land, it was built underground like the Ministry of Magic and it was unhygienic, so we chose to let the sick mix in the crowd here. Sirius said to Ryan and Hermione, who were looking at it curiously.

The department store, called Taotao Co., Ltd., looked dilapidated and deserted, with only a few cracked dummies in the window, wearing wigs crookedly, in various postures, and wearing clothes from at least a decade ago. The dusty doors are hung with large signs that say "closed for renovation". Ryan heard people muttering to the people around him: I swore I didn't open the door after that—

Sirius leaned closer to the window and looked up at the ugly dummy, exhaling a blur of glass, "Hello...... I'm coming to see Arthur?? Weasley. The dummy nodded slightly, beckoned his fingers, and the three of them disappeared through the glass.

Because it's the Christmas holidays, St. Mungo's is still in a festive mood. There weren't many patients in the waiting room, and Ryan saw only a male wizard with a swollen tomato head and a witch with purple skin standing at a table marked "Inquiry".

"Family disputes, huh? I suggest you learn to hide your wand when you quarrel, I've seen you four times in the past six months. Now you two go to the Spell Damage Section on the fifth floor, I really don't want to see you anymore. The chubby blonde middle-aged woman sitting behind the table said.

Is this how couples in the wizarding world get along? Ryan thought as he went upstairs.
