After the opening party, Ryan and Hermione began beckoning the new Gryffindor students to gather in front of them. The new lion cubs look very well-behaved, but Ryan knows that if he waits for half a semester, the little ones will be naughty and have a headache.

With a few shouts to gather the freshmen, Ryan stood at the end of the line and watched them make their way upstairs. Hermione was at the head of the group, leading the way and introducing them to some of the basics of the school. The new students were as curious about everything in the castle as they were back then, and from time to time they asked questions about something new. In the end, it took more than ten minutes for Ryan and the others to finally succeed in taking them to the Gryffindor common room.

After discovering that Ryan was the winner of last year's Triwizard Tournament, the little ones began to ask questions about him. It took a while for Ryan to get them out. At this time he noticed that Harry and his roommates were discussing something, and Hermione and Ginny were listening with interest.

"How does it feel to be a celebrity?" said Hermione, quipped at the sight of Ryan's somewhat embarrassed look.

"Oh, that's terrible. Ryan shook his head and quickly changed the subject. "By the way, what are you talking about?"

"We were talking about the Daily Prophet, which started to completely liberate itself at the end of last semester. Seamus said with some excitement. "My mother thought it was ridiculous that Fudge had done nothing after the escape of those ten Death Eaters, and even dared to have the cheekiness to say that everything was normal. Especially recently to allow someone to destroy evidence directly in front of the highest-ranking trial members, and the person who did such a thing was only fined 100 Galleons, she thought Fudge had gone crazy. ”

"Dude, you're right. Ron patted Seamus on the shoulder. "And what's even crazier now is that the guy who killed in front of all the Inquisitors is now our Defence Against the Dark Arts professor. ”

"Well, I'm going to write to my mother right now. They actually let a criminal be a professor. Seamus jumped to his feet and prepared to write a letter. Hermione looked at Seamus who was running away, shook her head and said to Ryan, "The general public opinion is now in favor of us, at least in Gryffindor, and everyone disagrees with the lies described in the Daily Prophet that Dumbledore is a madman and that Harry is a disgusting and arrogant man. ”

"It's a lot better than it used to be. Ryan thought, "At least not to the point where the people are betrayed." This is already a good start. ”

The next morning, when Ryan had breakfast, he found that there were more people supporting Professor Dumbledore's side than he thought. Almost all of Gryffindor, half Ravenclaw and half Hufflepuff chose to trust Professor Dumbledore and Harry. They also think that the Ministry of Magic is messing around under Fudge's leadership, especially after knowing that the Defence Against the Dark Arts professor selected by the Ministry of Magic this time is the same Umbridge who killed people in the courtroom.

"But now that I think about it, the mystery man's plot has succeeded. Hermione didn't seem optimistic, after all, she didn't know that if it weren't for the butterfly effect caused by Ryan, Harry and Dumbledore would be in much worse off now.

"It's only been half a year since the mystery man came back, and we've already started fighting ourselves. Hermione said unceremoniously, "The Sorting Hat's warning means the same thing: unity—"

"Listen, Hermione. Ryan interrupted her and pulled her into a corner of the auditorium. "We are facing war now, and don't expect everyone to be able to stand with us. For example, the purebloods like Letherin, as the beneficiaries of purebloodism, are already doomed to be our enemies from a fundamental standpoint, unless we are willing to throw in the towel and become slaves to them. ”

Hermione's mouth was slightly open, looking a little incredulous at this cruel future that could be life-or-death, but finally her gaze hardened as she looked at the Slytherin table in the Great Hall. "One side has to fall completely, and you even need to kill them with your own hands or be killed by them, is this war?"

"Yes, this is war. Ryan nodded slightly.

Then Hermione was a little silent, even though she had experience in killing, but facing acquaintances was another matter. However, the wizarding world is so big, and there is only one school in the whole of the United Kingdom, this situation is inevitable, and I think those members of the Order of the Phoenix who were brutally murdered back then should also be considered acquaintances with the Death Eaters. It's better to know some things in advance than to prepare them later.

This year it's Ryan theirs. LS year, according to Lane's understanding, is similar to the high school entrance examination in his previous life, and every professor has repeatedly emphasized the importance of this exam. Except for Professor Binns, a person whose death would not stop him from attending classes, and a small exam would naturally not be taken to heart by him.

Like Snape, he had given everyone a blow to the head with a complex potion called a palliative in the first lesson, but Ryan had completed his task before class ended, leaving his cauldron with a faint, silvery-white steam. But by the end of the lesson, the joy of successful configuration quickly disappeared. For Snape laid out a twelve-inch-long treatise on the properties of moonstone and its use in medicine.

"Fortunately, I made an dictation pen in advance, so that at least I could free my hands to do something else. After class, Ryan began to show off his new creation, trying to make Hermione happy. It seemed to be working, at least by lunchtime she was mostly back to normal. Of course, Ryan thinks it has something to do with the fact that he took Hermione to other worlds to see the world. Sometimes certain boundaries can be breached countless times just once.

In the afternoon, the arithmetic divination class began with two large volumes, and the homework left after the review was two large volumes. This makes Ryan really have a sense of déjà vu in the third year of high school, especially when there are some mathematical calculations on the paper.

Monday's last class was Defence Against the Dark Arts, and it could be said that the class was a mess. Whether Umbridge is on the field, everyone is asked to collectively say good afternoon, Professor Umbridge. Or only allow everyone to read books, but not allow everyone to practice.

What surprised Ryan the most was that Umbridge actually thought that as long as he learned the theory very solidly, he could release the spell smoothly even if it was the first time he cast the spell during the exam.

"This guy has been so completely captivated by the lust for power that he doesn't even want his brain. Ryan thought that he had recently been killed by the Rose Fragment refining this card. Obviously, I have mastered all the knowledge, but I still make all kinds of mistakes in actual operation. If only knowledge were really as Umbridge said, as long as you knew it, you could operate it.

Harry was angry, but he remembered Dumbledore's command. So he used the fugitive Death Eaters as an excuse to attack Umbridge that everything was okay as a lie, and he was deducted ten points. But Umbridge's approach also caused the class to share the same hatred.

"Pacify humanity. Seeing that Harry seemed to be about to explode, Ryan quickly made a gesture under the table and activated the life magic. The magic worked, and Harry calmed down as if he had been splashed with cold water, and then sat back in his seat without saying a word. It also had something to do with the fact that there were no dead people last year, which made Harry less emotional about it.

"I repeat, all the claims that the outside world is no longer safe are nonsense. The Ministry of Magic guarantees that you will not be in danger from any dark wizards. If you still have doubts, be sure to come to me after class. I am always ready to help you. I'm your friend. Alright, please continue on page 5, 'Getting Started Fundamentals'. ”

The rest of the class was spent with the rustling of books and Umbridge's boasting to the Ministry of Magic. After class, everyone packed up their things and left the classroom as quickly as possible, not wanting to stay here for even a second.
