Chapter 383: Judgment (Asking for Subscriptions, Asking for Collections, Asking for Tickets)
As everyone entered the basement kitchen, Sirius greeted him and hugged Harry. While the godfather and son were chatting, Ryan and the others took out plates, goblins, and food from the pantry. After that, he began to help Mrs. Weasley with these things.
"There used to be a whole set of the finest silverware made by fifteenth-century goblins, but now it is gone, and it is all replaced by this worthless thing. As Ryan set up the dishes, he saw Montgotens holding a crystal glass and said depressedly.
"And where did they go?" Harry wondered.
Ryan had made all those precious silvers into arrowheads. Montgotens's tone was full of regret.
"I don't think there's any pity about that, the silver that the elves have refined can do extra damage to all kinds of dark creatures with a little processing. With the bracers with spring crossbows I made, everyone can have more confidence when facing these mysterious lackeys. I think it's a lot more valuable than just a wine glass. Ryan retorted.
Mrs. Weasley moved quickly, and within half an hour, all the dishes were steaming hot on the table. After the meal, the atmosphere in the restaurant was also lively, and everyone was talking about these not very heavy topics.
"—Fudge and the others will definitely take Harry to court for using the Patronus Charm in front of Muggles, after all, they will not let go of this opportunity to hit Dumbledore by the way. But this time we can get them to shoot themselves in the foot. Mr. Weasley's voice echoed through the kitchen.
Article 7 of the Law on the Reasonable Restraint of Underage Wizards states that magic may be used in the presence of Muggles under exceptional circumstances, including when the life of the wizard or other wizards or Muggles present at the same time is threatened. Harry had encountered two Dementors this time, and it was perfectly legal to use magic at this time. At the same time, thanks to Lane, we have the strongest evidence in our hands. ”
"Then why don't we make things clear now and have to put Harry on trial?" said Ginny, somewhat puzzled.
"Because those people can do things that let the Dementors out, then maybe worse things can be done. Ryan replied, "For the sake of Harry's safety, Professor Dumbledore decided to throw the evidence out while everyone was paying attention to this matter, and give Fudge and his gang a hard blow. That way they won't have as much thought to deal with Harry for a while. ”
With that, Ryan turned his head to Harry. "I'm sorry it might have made you feel wronged, but-"
Before Ryan could explain, Harry stopped him with a smile. "You don't need to explain this, if you can teach the mastermind behind the scenes a good lesson, it doesn't matter if I am wronged. ”
After eating the last butter crumbs, Sirius was ready to tell Harry exactly what had happened recently. Mrs. Weasley began to chase people away, believing that the children were not fit to listen to this for the time being. Ryan stood up consciously, and Hermione saw it and followed Ryan out of the kitchen.
"Aren't you curious about these things, why did Mrs. Weasley leave as soon as she said that? Hermione asked as she went upstairs.
"Not at all, sometimes knowing too much of what I shouldn't know can be an additional risk, and on the other hand, I can roughly guess what to tell Harry, like what's going on lately, like what the mystery man has been up to lately. But I can probably guess all of this, so I don't need to listen to it again. ”
"You know what the mystery man is doing. Hermione looked at Ryan in disbelief. "Don't tell me your brain is as connected to that guy as Harry. ”
"It has nothing to do with magic. Ryan said, pushing the door open and entering a small living room. The two of them now live in a suite, each with a single room and a shared small living room. After taking a seat at the coffee table in the small living room, Ryan continued.
"You know that in the last war, as soon as the mystery man came out, he massively killed the opposition and even Muggles for fun. This time was completely different, he had been resurrected for a long time, but there was not a single case of accidental death. What keeps the Mystic and his men quiet for so long, I guess the only possibility is that the Mysteries are now looking for a way to avoid repeating the mistakes of the past after summarizing the reasons for the last failure. What he was looking for could be a weapon, a powerful spell, or some important piece of information. Ryan explained.
"What could it be?" Hermione pondered, propping her head on her hands.
"I don't know, I don't think they would have told Harry such a specific situation. The room fell silent, and in the silence they heard Mrs. Weasley walking down the hallway with the twins and Ginny, accompanied by the shouting of the three men.
"Don't overthink it. Ryan stood up and gently patted Hermione on the shoulder. "If we don't have to deal with something, knowing it will only add to our troubles. If it's supposed to be our thing, then we'll always know. ”
Hermione nodded, and then said goodbye to Ryan and went back to her room. Ryan sat in the small living room for a few minutes before returning to his room to rest.
Everything went back to normal for the next few days, with the only unusual thing that happened was the daily group study time. Hermione angrily urged Harry to do his homework when she found out that he hadn't done most of his homework.
"Hermione, I'm going to trial next Thursday—" "But we all know that you have won this time, and you just need to be silent in court, and you don't need to prepare anything in advance. So the time before the trial you better go and write your homework after all. LS exam year, we need to seize all the time to study. ”
Harry was a little depressed when he heard this, and it was not a comfortable thing to do with his homework. But he was also happy that his friends were convinced that he would be fine. So under everyone's urging, he could only take out his homework and start writing. Fortunately, everyone here was able to help him in his writing, and he was much more efficient than he was at the Dursleys.
It was Thursday, and Ryan got up and went downstairs just in time to see Harry following Mr. Weasley and Sirius up from the kitchen to the door.
"Good luck! you'll be fine. Ryan shouted to Harry as he stood on the stairs. Harry smiled back a somewhat reluctant smile.
Mrs. Weasley in the kitchen also looked a little nervous, and although she knew that Harry would be finely fine this time, she still thought of something bad to scare herself.
Ryan was eating breakfast when he saw the others coming downstairs as well, and they regretted that Harry hadn't been delivered. After breakfast, the atmosphere in the house was a little tense. So instead of going upstairs to do something as usual, they gathered together in the dining room with a book to read.
As the hands of the clock in the living room approached ten o'clock in the morning, the doorbell finally rang again. Soon, Harry appeared in the kitchen with a smile on his face. As expected, Harry won the trial.
