The Shopkeeper of All Worlds in the British Wizarding World

Chapter 245 The end of the semester
In Hagrid's cabin, the five happily celebrated Buckbeak's freedom.This joyful mood lasted until Ryan and the others returned to the castle.

When he stepped up the stairs of the castle, Harry thought of something and said the prophecy that Professor Strawney heard during the exam.Ryan was a little surprised when he heard the prophecy that was no different from the original text. After all, now that Peter was sentenced to life imprisonment in Azkaban, how could he defect to Voldemort again?Not to mention that Peter had a complete record of transforming from a mouse into a man when he was arrested. It is impossible for Azkaban not to be prepared in this case.

But considering that there were so many Death Eaters back then, it is reasonable for one or two fish who slipped through the net to try to revive Voldemort.But in this way, it is impossible to catch criminals in advance to plug this loophole.

Thinking of this, Ryan shook his head, after all, it was useless to think about anything at this time.Besides, on the one hand, he was ready to face that dark age, and on the other hand, there were at least Dumbledore and the Ministry of Magic in front of him. In this case, it was not up to him, a third-year student, to worry about it.So he decided to celebrate the end of the exam with everyone now, after all, only tomorrow will know what happened.So there is no need for friends to worry too.

The next morning, Ryan went to the lake after breakfast, watching the giant squid lazily shaking its tentacles on the lake, waiting for the owl to deliver the day's newspaper.

"You feel a little weird today." Hermione's voice came from behind, and then she walked over to Ryan and sat beside him on the grass by the lake. "Or I found that since Harry said Professor Stroney's prophecy yesterday, you seem to be preoccupied. Can you tell me what happened?"

"I have a bad feeling that Professor Strawney's predictions are mostly deceptive, but as far as I know these prophets occasionally make real predictions. And they are making real predictions When speaking, just like what Harry described yesterday for Strawney, the tone of voice was completely out of his own, the body seemed to lose control, and most importantly, they couldn't remember what they had said after they finished speaking."

"I think you're just a little nervous." Hermione raised an eyebrow. "After all, you have too much to learn recently, which may make you a little too anxious."

"It's really an honor to be praised by you for how much I have learned recently." Ryan joked. "I hope so too."

At this time, a brown barn owl flew over to Ryan, dropped today's "Daily Prophet", and then stretched out its left leg with a small leather bag.Ryan took out five Nutters from his body and put them in his skin bag. The owl flapped its wings and flew away after receiving the money.

"Is there any important news?" Hermione glanced at the front page and second page of the "Daily Prophet". "The front page was blaming certain countries for the deteriorating quality of crucibles exported to England, and even caused an important potion maker to be injured. The second page was Mrs. Zabini becoming a widow for the seventh time, which sounds a little bit -"

Ryan was reading the next few pages of the newspaper at this time, and suddenly he pointed to a palm-sized tofu cube in the corner of the seventh page and said. "Look here, Peter Pedilu escaped from Azkaban. The Ministry of Magic actively appeals to all wizards to report to the Aurors after seeing him. The Ministry of Magic who provides effective information will give fifty Galleons as a reward."

"What the hell is going on with the Ministry of Magic? Two people have escaped from Azkaban in a year." Hermione complained after reading the news. "But this seems to be in line with Professor Strawney's prediction. But Professor Dumbledore is still there, so we don't need to worry so much for now."

"You're quite right, but given the chaotic situation during the last war, it is also necessary for us to make some preparations in advance. For example, we should strengthen combat training or something. After all, if something happens, it is easiest for wizards born in non-magic families like us to problem occurs."

"It shouldn't be that bad." Hermione said in disbelief. "But you're right, some preparation is better than none."

At noon, the two went to the auditorium for dinner with some concerns, but at the dining table they heard how Peter escaped.According to a third-year Gryffindor whose family member works in the Ministry of Magic, all the interior of Azkaban is guarded by dementors. Although the Ministry of Magic reminded them that Peter is an Animagus, it is a pity that those monsters Didn't notice this.

The only thing that can be confirmed is that it is basically certain that Peter has left the UK, so the British Ministry of Magic only made an inconspicuous report in the newspaper based on the mentality that more things are worse than less things.

"Ah, these guys." Ryan held his forehead with his hand a little depressed.But this incident was not the only thing that made people uncomfortable today, because in the afternoon, the students learned that Professor Lupine had resigned.

"Although Professor Lupine is a good person, I can understand why he resigned." Hermione said when she was reading in the library in the afternoon, maybe because of her excellent performance in the Transfiguration exam, Professor McGonagall gave Ryan and Hermione Min issued an approval slip allowing them to borrow the book "Dangerous Metamorphosis" from the library.Because this book is not allowed to be taken out of the library, the two of them can only use all their spare time to read in the library during this period, trying to finish the book before returning home during the holiday.

"Isn't it just a werewolf problem?" Ryan said in a low voice; "Now there are wolfbane potions that can at least guarantee safety, so I don't think it's a big deal to find a werewolf as a professor."

"I think so too, but most wizards don't think so. And we all guessed that Lupine is a werewolf from the clues, and I guess other students can also guess this fact. How could parents allow Lupine to be a werewolf in this situation? Stay in Hogwarts Castle. And the clothes are shabby, you know that he has been rejected many times because he is a werewolf at work, which also means that many people know that he is a werewolf, and this news cannot be kept hidden. Now he Resigning can just prevent Dumbledore from making it difficult for Principal, otherwise it would be even worse if he was really exposed." Hermione carefully analyzed the reasons for Lupine's resignation.

"Lupine has been our best Defense Against the Dark Arts professor in the past three years, what a pity." Hermione finally concluded with some regret.

"However, this may also be a good thing. After all, there is a curse in this position. Thinking about those two two years ago, it is also a good thing that Professor Lupine can retire from this position." Ryan comforted.

They happened to meet Harry on their way back to the common room after dinner, and Harry told them he was off to see Professor Lupine off.Professor Lupine resigned voluntarily because he felt that he was still a little dangerous in school.

With the resignation of Professor Lupine, the news that he was a werewolf also spread at Hogwarts, but many Gryffindor students expressed regret for this.And everyone is not optimistic about the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts class next year.

On the last day of the semester, Ryan and the others finally rushed to finish watching "Dangerous Metamorphosis", and their grades also came down on this day.Ryan still got all O's.

Hermione is also all O, but because Ryan has summarized all his strengths after mastering alchemy, this has widened the gap between his grades and Hermione's in the practical exam.So this year he won the first place in his age like never before.

Among Ryan's acquaintances, Harry, Ron and Longbottom also passed all the exams, especially Longbottom got an O in herbal medicine class like never before.So he went to each book club member at breakfast to express his thanks.

Meanwhile, the House of Gryffindor has been crowned House Champions for three years in a row, largely due to their excellence in Quidditch.This meant that the end-of-term banquet was decorated in scarlet and gold, and Lane felt very happy on the last day of the school year at Hogwarts School.
