Chapter 638: Transformation (Asking for Subscriptions, Asking for Collections, Asking for Tickets)
"You don't have to worry about that, as long as it can deal with Voldemort, Harry will definitely put his heart and soul into it. When Ryan told Dumbledore that Harry needed to be involved in the rest of the work, Dumbledore stroked his beard and said. "So you don't have to worry about him not cooperating with you in this matter, I believe he will complete the next work smoothly. β
After saying that, he clapped his hands gently, and an elf-looking elf suddenly appeared in the headmaster's office, wearing a pillowcase embroidered with the Hogwarts crest, looking very capable.
Once in the office, he asked after bowing directly to Dumbledore. "Great Headmaster Dumbledore, Boo is honored to serve you, do you have any orders?"
"That's right. Dumbledore looked down at the house-elf named Bubu and said kindly. "I need you to go to the Gryffindor common room or the boys' dormitory there, and then bring Harry Potter over. You tell him I'm looking for him. β
"No problem, Mr. Headmaster. With that, the house-elf flicked his finger and disappeared from the headmaster's office, a few minutes later, with the whirling sound of the stairs at the office door. Harry Potter was taken into the headmaster's office by the house-elves with a blank expression.
"Alright, it's over, you can leave. Dumbledore said to Boo, who bowed deeply and snapped his fingers and left the office.
"Headmaster Dumbledore, is there anything you're looking for me at this late hour?" Harry was wearing a pair of pajamas at this time, but a robe was draped over the pajamas. It looked like he had been dragged straight from the bed by Boob.
"That's right. Dumbledore gestured to Ryan and Hermione, who were standing nearby, "Ryan, they've learned a magical magic from the Celestial Empire, which can hurt him with the blood he got from the last time he fought Voldemort. However, in order to ensure the success rate of this magic, the rest of the ritual must be done by you, the person who has a mysterious connection to Voldemort. β
Because Harry and Voldemort's soul had a certain amount of communication, in order to prevent Voldemort from finding out about this in advance, Dumbledore did not tell Harry the whole truth. In fact, Voldemort's normal curse after using the dark magic to reshape his body did not have any effect on him, and with his conceit, Ryan and the others were not worried about Voldemort doing anything to stop them after learning that Ryan had used their own blood to cast spells.
"Really? can this magic really hurt Voldemort?" Harry stared at everyone in the office with wide eyes, and nodded vigorously when he saw that the remaining three were all nodding their heads to indicate that it was true.
"Of course I'd like to do the next steps of this magic, please tell me how to do it. I can't wait to complete this spell now. After getting confirmation from Headmaster Dumbledore, Harry said with a little urgency.
"That's what it looks likeβ" At Headmaster Dumbledore's motion, Ryan stepped forward and explained, "Starting tomorrow morning, you will have to find time to come to the Headmaster's office every morning between six and eight o'clock, between twelve and two o'clock in the afternoon, and between six and eight o'clock in the evening, according to the method I have taught you. You need to do this for 21 days in a row. β
After saying that, Ryan demonstrated how Harry should worship the straw man next. Fortunately, the whole ritual was combined with the rest of the process, and the following process did not require the use of a spell, so it was just a few not difficult prostrations, and Harry quickly learned it.
"By the way," Ryan admonished after seeing Harry learn the prescribed moves. "After doing those movements each day, you need to pour your own blood into the two lamps. Of course, you only need one drop per light show, but a little more won't make a difference. The only thing you need to be aware of is that every time you have to take blood in a non-magical way. β
"Understood. Harry nodded earnestly, seeing that it was all ready, Dumbledore said to them. "Well, it's not too early. Go back to your dorm and rest, you have another exam to take tomorrow. β
The next day's exam Ryan had completed the exam as smoothly as the previous two days, and over the course of the next week, he and Hermione had developed several new magic items to cope with the current situation. On Saturday, Ryan and Hermione went to the Weasley Joke Store in Hogsmeade after receiving an application from Professor Dumbledore.
"This spider mine is very good, especially when being chased to hold back pursuers. Fred said, holding a small, silver-white ball the size of a baseball. In the last turmoil when the Ministry of Magic changed hands, the Weasley joke shop in Diagon Alley was naturally destroyed by those Death Eaters in the first round, but fortunately, it was only the store itself that was destroyed with a preplan, and the goods were not lost much.
However, after the war became completely public, the Weasley Joke Shop, which had moved to Hogsmeade, shifted to a wartime production system as a result of Ryan's consultations. 90% of the original joke products were discontinued, except for the inventory, and the extra production capacity was diverted to the production of various magic items for self-defense.
Naturally, given the relationship between the shareholders of the joke shop and now the Hogsmeade Ministry of Magic and Headmaster Dundondo. Naturally, they also received a large number of orders from the Ministry of Magic and the Order of the Phoenix.
"Seriously, you're nowhere near as talented when it comes to joke products. But on this professional magical defense prop, we have to admit that it is not as good as your thinking. George took the silver-white ball that Fred had thrown and twisted it, and four legs immediately stretched out from half of the ball, while the thin steel shell on the other half of the ball was unscrewed off, revealing the appearance of the steel ball.
"For example, mixing 1/30 of the magically treated steel balls and quenched potion steel balls with these steel balls doesn't add much cost. However, it will force those who are attacked to cast defensive spells. Because no one would dare to bet that the steel balls that flew over were not 1/30th of the magic that could cause serious damage to wizards. β
"Damn, this thing isn't for you to play like this. Ryan immediately snatched the silver-white ball from George's hand, and then buckled the hemispherical metal shield back, and the moment the steel cover was buckled back, the four mechanical feet were also retracted. The whole thing reverted to a smooth sphere again. "I repeat, don't mess around with this kind of spider mine with the insurance removed. If it really blows up in your hands, it's going to be a problem. β
"Got it!" said Fred and George in unison. "And we didn't have one last mana just now, you should trust this double insurance of your own design. β
But that's not a reason for you to die at will. Ryan asked, placing the silver ball back in its original box. "How's our stuff selling lately?"
"Very good, because more than 70% of the members of the Ministry of Magic on our side are recruited on an ad hoc basis. Even if it's a striker, 1/3 of the profession of a Death Eater who faces the murderous Death Eaters is a pure newcomer. If it weren't for the various defensive items we provide, the casualty rate would not be as low as it is now. β
"What about the Aurors?" Hermione asked. "Did the Aurors order our products? β
"Yes, the current leader of the Aurors on our side is Kingsley, who has ordered a large number of high-end goods from us. Fred replied that because Miss Bones had survived, Kingsley was not in a position to rule over the remnants of the Ministry of Magic as she had in the original text. "However, he didn't buy it as a set as it did from the Striker Command, but he purchased a batch of high-end goods for the Aurors to try to use. β
Ryan nodded to understand that the Aurors as an elite were not the same as the kind of mass-trained strikers. As a result, they are more individualistic in their choice of magic items, just like some elite special forces will use custom-made weapons.
"By the way, what did you just say about the casualty rate?" Hermione asked, remembering a certain phrase the Weasley twins had just said.
"The Ministry of Magic in London, under the control of the Mysteries, has passed an investigation into the bloodlines of non-pure-blood wizards, which has caused many non-pure-blood wizards to flee to our side for refuge. However, not every wizard can master Apparition, and crafting a Portkey is even more difficult than Apparition. The control of Floo is controlled by the Ministry of Magic in London. In this case, they can only escape to our side by broomsticks or even some kind of Muggle. Fred said.
"So our strikers and members of the Order of the Phoenix had a lot of skirmishes with the group of strikers to the south and even the hired dark wizards in order to cover the innocents who could escape, and we didn't have the advantage in terms of fighting. During this time, three people have already died. George sighed and shook his head.
This conversation also made the atmosphere in the room suddenly low, and everyone lowered their heads silently.
