The Shopkeeper of All Worlds in the British Wizarding World

Chapter 33 Back to Hogwarts Life

Once Christmas was over, Ryan devoted most of his time to the Defense Against the Dark Arts notebook.

In the last few days before the end of the Christmas holiday, he finally mastered the stun spell, which was closely related to the constant practice in the Wanjie grocery store.The only pity is that his spell level is limited to what can be released now, but the strength is probably not enough to stun a person.

Ryan is now extremely eager for a way to quickly increase magic power, otherwise even if he has acquired enough knowledge now, he will not be able to turn knowledge into power.

On the last day of the holiday, Ryan said goodbye to his reluctant parents.Returned to school with Hermione on the Hogwarts Express.

When he first arrived at school, Ryan learned from Ron that Harry had been going to see a hallucinatory magic mirror for three nights in a row.

After Hermione complained about Harry's reckless behavior ("What if Filch caught you?").Ryan told Harry: "In fact, being caught by the night watch teacher is a small problem. The main thing is that those hallucinations can make you gradually unable to distinguish between reality and illusion, and you will definitely go crazy in the end." Ron and Hermione together Nodding in agreement with the point, Harry had to swear again that he would never go looking for that mirror again.

The following days passed slowly in normal study, but the "Elementary Chinese Medicine Handbook, Telford Edition" that Ryan thought might not be needed before came to an unexpected use.

During the potion class, he found that he had made great progress in handling raw materials, controlling the heat, and brewing potions.Because Snape actually gave his potion an E.

It was only later that Ryan realized that the brewing process of traditional Chinese medicine had a lot in common with the process of making potion.As for Defu's medical skills, he is often ordered by Xi Laile to make medicine.This kind of skill that practice makes perfect after long-term practice was also acquired by Ryan in this inheritance.

This has to be said to be a good thing. After all, Gryffindor students have always had deductions in Snape's class, and Ryan has been worried that his final exam will be deducted by Professor Snape.

It was a good time for Ryan, but not so good for Harry.As the Quidditch game is about to start again, Wood's demands on his players are stricter than ever.Even in the continuous rainy days after the heavy snow, he did not stop training.When Lane read in the common room after dinner, he often encountered exhausted Quidditch players, sometimes drenched with mud dripping from the corners of their robes.

One day, when Ryan and the others were doing their Potions homework in the common room, Harry suddenly rushed in and sat beside Ron.

"Wait, I'm going to finish my homework soon. Then I can have a good time." Ron said, and then he turned his head to see Harry's face. The Seeker for Team Raitling is Snape, hahaha."

Harry's face became even uglier, and Ron's smile froze suddenly: "It's not like Snape is really going to be a Seeker?"

"Almost." Harry made a distressed expression: "Snape will be the referee for the next game."

"Why, Mrs. Hooch is a professional," Ryan said.

"Take time off," Hermione said immediately.

"Just say you're sick and can't play," Ron added.

"A broken leg is fine," said Hermione.

"Just really break your leg. Anyway, Madam Pomfrey can get it back in one night." Ron followed up with a bad idea.

"I don't think there's any need to be so nervous." Ryan said, "The competition is under the watchful eyes of all the teachers and students in the school. Even if Snape wanted to kill him, he would not choose this occasion to do it, otherwise he would have been in Potions class." Killed Harry."

Harry also said that he will definitely go to the game, because the Seeker has no substitute, and if he does not play in the Gryffindor team, he will not be able to compete.

As they discussed it, Neville fell headlong into the common room.No one could guess how he got out of the portrait hole, because his legs were stuck together tightly.Harry and the others could tell at a glance that the leg-locking spell had been applied.He must have hopped up the stairs like a rabbit and into Gryffindor Castle.

Everyone laughed, only Ryan and Hermione didn't.Hermione stepped forward to undo the curse on Neville, and Neville's legs fell apart.Lane helped him to his feet and found him shaking.

"What's going on?" Hermione asked as she led him over to sit with Harry.

"Malfoy," said Neville in a trembling voice, "I ran into him outside the library. He said he'd been looking for someone to practice the spell. But thanks to Ryan for reminding me that Slytherins were attacking Gryffindors As a habit, when he leaned over to taunt me, I subconsciously sprayed the pepper spray he gave me on Malfoy's face, and then ran back while he was going to wash."

Hermione said to Neville, "You can sue him!"

Neville shook his head.

"I don't want to get in trouble anymore," he muttered vaguely. "After all, I didn't get hurt this time."

"But Malfoy might screw you a second time," said Ron. "You need to have the courage to tell Professor McGonagall that."

"I know I'm not brave enough, Malfoy said it," Neville said, choking.

Finally, under everyone's comfort, Neville finally showed a weak smile and left.

In the following days, everyone is still training, training and learning.It's just that one day Hermione took out a big old book and told the other three that she had found the wizard's record of Nicolas.

The three people gathered around and saw that the opened page read: Nicolas May, the only known maker of the Philosopher's Stone.Ancient alchemy involved the refining of the Philosopher's Stone, a magical substance with amazing properties.The Philosopher's Stone can turn any metal into pure gold, and it can also create an elixir of life, so that people who drink this medicine will never die.

Over the centuries, there have been many reports about the Philosopher's Stone, but the only remaining one belongs to the famous alchemist and opera lover Mr. Nicole May.He celebrated his 660 fifth birthday last year and is now living in seclusion in Devon with his wife Perenal (650 eight).

"It's not much different from what we found, but it basically confirmed our conjecture. Now it is absolutely certain that the one hidden in the school is the Philosopher's Stone." Ryan said to Hermione after reading it.

Harry chimed in, too: "No wonder Snape wanted to steal it, a stone that turns gold and makes you never die! Anyone would want it!"

"You can't just doubt Snape because of his prejudice against you. Maybe Quirrell wants to use this to make a potion to cure his stutter." Ryan said. "But now Snape is a more real threat to us, Harry, think about your game this week."

Harry suddenly became depressed. It was really difficult for Snape to be the referee. He even felt that it might be difficult to get off the field alive.
