The Shopkeeper of All Worlds in the British Wizarding World

Chapter 258 Back to School
The annual school day.

But the current weather is extremely bad-Ryan saw the pouring rain outside the window when he got up, patting on the window.

After breakfast, Mr. Weasley decided to drive everyone to King's Cross Station in London, and Bill and Charlie decided to see everyone off at King's Cross Station together.Percy was going too, but a more serious incident at Plymouth forced him to eat only two bites of bread before putting on his coat and leaving.

"Percy's job is good in everything, but there are too many emergencies like this." Mrs. Weasley said with some distress after watching Percy Apparate disappear into the rain.

"It's the same when you want to do business. When I first entered the Ministry of Magic, I worked overtime every three days." Mr. Weasley stepped forward to comfort Molly.

"Yeah, how capable you were at that time." Molly began to recall the past time, and then quickly realized it. "The kids are here, I'm going to clean up the house."

Everyone present felt that they had been stuffed with dog food.After dinner, everyone drove to London in that classic car.It's a pity that the weather in London is just as bad. When I got off the train at King's Cross Station, the rain outside was heavier than before, and I couldn't even see the scene outside the window clearly.After opening the door, raindrops poured down on them.They were drenched as they carried their suitcases across the busy street and into the station.

The weather was very bad today. After entering platform nine and three quarters, many Hogwarts students and parents on the platform could be seen as dark ghosts under the cover of the billowing smoke from the front of the car.

After finding one to put his luggage in, Ryan ran to the platform to say goodbye to Mrs Weasley, Bill and Charlie.As Charlie hugged Ginny farewell, the news broke that he was likely to see everyone at school again this year.Later, under questioning from the twins, he revealed that Hogwarts might hold some major event this year.It's a pity that she blew the whistle before she finished speaking, and everyone had to get in the car quickly.

"Thank you for letting us stay, Mrs Weasley," said Hermione.By this time they had boarded the train, the doors were closed, and she leaned out the window to speak to Mrs Weasley.

"It is true that this summer vacation will be a very fond memory of my school days, Mrs. Weasley." Ryan said.

After saying thanks and drying the clothes with magic.Ryan sat in his seat and began to recall something: "Moody was not attacked this morning, which means things have changed. But Pertha's disappearance shows that Voldemort's return has become a reality. But what method will Voldemort use to resurrect this time?" What?" After losing the advantage of the prophet, Ryan felt that the future seemed to be hidden in a fog.

After that, Harry also came to this compartment and told about the nightmare he had about Voldemort during the summer vacation.Ron and Hermione just thought that Harry might be too nervous, and only Ryan knew that this meant that Voldemort's return had entered the countdown.But he didn't say it out, because the plot has changed now.Saying this without knowing where the enemy is lurking has no effect other than being dismissed as crazy.

The journey was uneventful, only Malfoy came in to provoke a wave.This made Ryan doubt the tutor of the pure-blood family again.But what Malfoy said was really hurtful, and Ron was still sullen when the train arrived at Hogsmeade station.

The weather outside was also in the same mood as Ron: even though they took the train from the south of England to the north of England for half a day, the weather still didn't get better, and it could even be said to be worse.It was raining hard and fast, as if buckets of cold water were being poured over their heads.

Ryan took over the owl cage from Hermione at this time and added a waterproof spell to the friends around him.Afterwards, he stepped on puddles of stagnant water and got into the carriage.

"My God, crossing the lake by boat in this weather. If there is no magic, it will be very dangerous." After getting into the car, Hermione looked at the back of Hagrid leading the first-year students to the lake through the window. With emotion.

"Magic is also dangerous. I remember that the boat capsized in this kind of weather. Fortunately, the squid in the lake rescued everyone in time." Ron adjusted his mood at this time, so he told the three people on the carriage that they were not in magic. Worldborn explained it a bit.

When it was time for the castle to enter the hall, Peeves started throwing water-filled balloons.Fortunately, Ryan was prepared to help himself and Hermione block all the water droplets.But Harry had the bad luck of being hit on the head by a water balloon so that his hair was still dripping when he walked into the restaurant.

As we all know, Peeves represents the pent-up souls of all the children in this school, similar to dementors.So he is different from other ghosts, can pick up various objects but can also be attacked by various objects.

However, because Peeves' qualifications are too old, even if Dumbledore was a student, Peeves was already here, so the teachers only managed Peeves to a limited extent so that he would not go too far.Of course, there is also the reason why Peeves is directly bound to Hogwarts Castle. As long as the castle exists, Peeves will always exist.

But as far as Ryan knows, the most important information about Peeves is about his unsuccessful expulsion in 1876 in "Hogwarts, a School History".The administrators at Hogwarts used cutlasses, crossbows, muskets and a cannon.He failed though, and Peeves even casually shot the window after escaping the trap, putting everyone's lives in danger and the castle was evacuated.Until then-headmistress Eupracia Moore backed down.

You must know that in 1876, guns had already entered the era of metal bullet casings and rear-loading guns. After reading this record from the book, Ryan confirmed two points: First, the inability to use electronic products in Hogwarts was due to the powerful magic radiation. , similar to the kind of electromagnetic pulse bomb that seriously interferes with all electronics.Rather than the anti-Muggle items or anti-technology spells imposed from the level of world rules as some colleagues in the previous life said.

Second, judging from the description in the book that Peeves shot and put everyone's lives in danger.Muggle weapons can indeed pose enough threats to wizards, at least young wizards.This conclusion prompts Lane to nuke the group of Dark wizards in the pyramid with Fat Man.However, the dark wizards who survived the explosion in the pyramid at that time also proved that the threat of Muggle weapons to some powerful wizards was almost zero, which also dispelled Ryan's plan to use the fat nuclear bomb to hit Voldemort.

After everyone walked into the auditorium, the senior students began to help the students of the lower grades organize their clothes after drying their clothes.After all, today is the opening ceremony, and it is definitely inappropriate to be sloppy.

After tidying up the clothes, everyone started talking.Colin Creevey told Lane that his younger brother was also enrolled this year.Ryan deeply suspected that their parents might not be Muggles but Squibs, because for Muggle wizards, the probability of both brothers becoming wizards is too small.

On the rostrum, where the teacher of the Defense Against the Dark Arts class sat, a man with a fake scar was sitting, and many people also noticed this.After watching it, Ron whispered, "God, Mad-Eye Moody. He's the teacher of Defense Against the Dark Arts this year?"

"Mad-Eye Moody? Who is this?" Harry asked curiously from the side.

"A retired top Auror." Ron explained to the few people around him: "My father admires him very much, but it's no wonder that half of the cells in Azkaban are filled by him. It's just that Because he also had a lot of enemies like this, which made him slowly become a little nervous. He retired after someone was about to shake hands with him but was mistaken for an attack and wounded the other party. I didn’t expect Dumbledore He will be invited to be the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor this year."

"PTSD patients," Lane concluded.

"P—what's that?" Now it was Ron's turn to be confused.

"Post-traumatic stress disorder, often in people who have been through war. Because the previous experience makes them irritable, hypervigilant, amnesia, and easily frightened. One of my parents' Iraqi patients was like this." Herr Min explained.

"Indeed, that's what Moody is like." After listening to Hermione's narration, Ron absolutely agreed with her point of view.

They had just finished discussing the topic when the doors of the auditorium opened.This also marks the official start of the opening ceremony.
