In the faint light of the fluorescent flickering spell on the wand, Ryan and the others exited the building with the book and restored everything to its original state, and the two of them walked through the thick snow to the exit of the town.

"I wonder how the Christmas Eve dinner at our manor was prepared today?" said Ryan, glancing at the now brightly lit Weasleys, who somehow got a string of magic lanterns hanging on their house and a small Christmas tree in the small yard. It's a little basic, but it has a warm atmosphere.

The Weasleys were not an exception, as the entire street was filled with warm light from the rooms that lived in them. At the same time, the aroma of various delicacies wafts through the entire street, and a warm feeling permeates everyone's heart.

"I think the skilful gentlemen should be able to surprise us. After sniffing the scent in the air, Hermione took the initiative to reach out and hold Ryan's arm, "Although we can't spend Christmas with our parents this year, the six people living in our house are happy enough to have a small Christmas Eve dinner together." ”

After arriving at the town's gate to register, Ryan and the others left Hogsmeade, and when they followed the path to a place where the townspeople couldn't see, Ryan teleported back to his manor.

Walking into the hall of the manor, Ryan found that several gentlemen had dressed the room in a festive atmosphere. The ceiling of the hall was already covered with colored stripes and mistletoe, and small palm-sized lanterns glittered in between. The four corners of the house are also decorated with four Christmas trees, each of which is decorated with ornaments.

The large dining table in front of the fireplace had now been covered with a new snow-white linen tablecloth, and six sets of pure gold cutlery were placed in front of the corresponding chairs, and in the center of the table were several exquisite handicrafts.

"Master, can you get started now?" said Mr. Skillful after changing his clothes, and asked Ryan. "Everyone is almost ready, and the banquet is ready to be held. ”

Soon, everyone in the family sat down in their chairs. At the same time, the three skillful gentlemen brought in the delicious food they had prepared and put it on the table, and the plate was filled with fat roasted roast goose, all kinds of roast meats neatly stacked on the plate, a variety of sauces placed on the small silver plate next to it, and a vegetable salad that looked very fresh on a crystal plate.

"May the war end soon, and may our future be better and better. Ryan, as the host of the place, held up a fairy fruit wine, and after the toast, everyone began to enjoy the sumptuous Christmas dinner. Everyone took turns to tell a light-hearted and interesting little story, which swept away the unhappiness caused by the previous tension.

At the dinner table, Ryan also received good news that both wandmakers could confirm that their loved ones were now hiding in a safe place where Voldemort couldn't find them, and that receiving the news of their loved ones being safe at the time of the holiday was worth celebrating anyway.

So when they left the table, both wand-makers looked a little shaky because they had drunk a little more. Ryan called two robots to take care of the two old people.

The two Wandmasters told Ryan and them a lot about the past, the most important of which was how the Mysteries and the Death Eaters had risen. As people who have lived through the last war, their narrative gives Ryan a lot more about the last war. And some of the materials in it have a certain guiding role in the current war.

At the beginning of the last war, Voldemort only used his eloquence and appeal to promote anti-Muggle ideas through relatively peaceful means, while crowding out the hemp wizards. Although everyone was vigilant at this time, because there was no violence and there was a racial conflict within the wizarding world at that time, no one stopped Voldemort's actions except for Dumbledore who shouted for everyone to be vigilant.

And when Voldemort has gathered enough henchmen, they will no longer be satisfied with mere propaganda or legal means to achieve their goals. Soon, all kinds of violence** began to emerge one after another, and war really broke out.

In the beginning, the Ministry of Magic even had a lot of initiative. Even though many of the Death Eaters were born into pure-blood families and received full training in magical combat, they still lacked the organized training of professional armed personnel from the Ministry of Magic.

But Voldemort's own power erased all the gaps, and as soon as he appeared on the battlefield, both the Aurors and the striker would collapse at the touch of a button. No amount of superiority could have prevented Voldemort from attacking.

After each victory, Voldemort would kill the captives who refused to surrender, and at the same time go with his subordinates to kill their relatives. And by creating an atmosphere of terror in this way, Voldemort's side easily coerced more people into joining the ranks of collaborators.

Later, as the strength snowballed. The Death Eaters were also more daring, such as directly casting the Imperius Curse on people, or recruiting all sorts of dark creatures. At the same time, the Aurors and strikers of the Ministry of Magic were also intimidated by Voldemort's brutal methods of warfare, and they fell into a semi-paralyzed state, barely daring to fight the Death Eaters.

In this case, not even Professor Dumbledore could turn the tide of the battle. Because as the only wizard in Britain who could confront Voldemort head-on, he had too many places and people to protect, which not only distracted him, but also made it impossible for him to be on the scene in time for every Voldemort attack.

Thankfully, Voldemort made the wrong choice to murder Harry, who was still in his infant state, causing the death curse to bounce back against him. And his temporary death also wiped out the huge criminal organization that was all based on his strength in a very short period of time.

And now the same is true of this war, where Voldemort repeated his old tricks after the war began, attacking everywhere in an attempt to reawaken memories of the horror past. But Ryan's presence changes all that.

Unlike Dumbledore, who was born in the wizarding world a hundred years ago, insisted on fighting habits between wizards and adhered to procedural justice. As a person who grew up in the modern ordinary world for two lifetimes, Lane's understanding of war is also that of ordinary people. Therefore, at the very beginning of the war, Lane took the destruction of the enemy's living forces and war potential as his only guide.

Therefore, he is very different from Dumbledore in action, and will try to kill as many enemies as possible in battle, destroying more resources belonging to the enemy than Dumbledore's tactics of using limited force, especially since Dumbledore tended to capture those enemies alive and give them trial, and this self-binding approach often led to the enemy's escape.

At the same time, the act of sparing those innocent people out of humanitarianism in the previous operation also created a burden for Voldemort's side that would only consume resources but could not provide any help, further weakening the war potential of Voldemort's side.

In a way, what Ryan is doing now is very similar to what Voldemort did back then, except that the subject of fear has been reversed. Voldemort was not willing to risk his life to protect his own people and property like Dumbledore, which allowed Ryan to spread fear among the Death Eaters much faster than the Death Eaters had in the wizarding world.

And Ryan's strength made Voldemort completely afraid to take the initiative to change the situation of the war as he did in the last war, because he knew that as long as he was entangled for a little time to bring Ryan and Dumbledore together, he would pay a great price even if he didn't die.

Therefore, after the outbreak of all-out war, Voldemort chose to hide and try to use his absolute superiority to slowly destroy his own resistance. On the one hand, this practice made it impossible for Dumbledore and Ryan to locate him and kill him, after all, wizards of this level would be difficult to catch if they deliberately avoided the battle.

But on the other hand, Voldemort's avoidance of the battle made many people see his decline, and the morale of both sides began to slowly change.

None of the people on Ryan's side thought that Voldemort was an invincible demon as they used to, and the Death Eaters still obeyed Voldemort's orders despite being afraid of Voldemort's brutality, but the subjective initiative of most people was greatly reduced. The kind of behavior that used to take the initiative to go around is basically gone.

Therefore, when the war broke out three months ago, that is, after Ryan and they completely entered the war, the number of missing and killed people was greatly reduced compared to before, and Ryan can proudly say that they fought bloodily in exchange for a peaceful Christmas for everyone, and all the hardships and killings before were worth it.
