The Shopkeeper of All Worlds in the British Wizarding World

Chapter 332 Change (asking for subscription, asking for collection, asking for ticket)
"I think it's time to change the plan. At least until the end of this war, if the whole world remains unchanged and remains in its original state, there is no point in liberating the house elves." Hermione said suddenly on the way.

"You also found out?" "I only found out after talking today, after all, I have no experience with them before." Hermione raised her eyebrows. "It would take ages to change the minds of creatures so completely accustomed to enslavement that they are even content with their present lives, at least not at all in our plans."

"Yeah, apart from the problems of the house-elves themselves, the overall environment is not friendly. The house-elves are basically concentrated in the hands of those pure-blood families. The Ministry of Magic, which is dominated by pure-bloods, will never pass a decree similar to the emancipation of slaves, even if There will be a whole host of problems with enforcing the law, and we won't be able to free the house-elves if they don't want to be free themselves."

Speaking of which, Hermione looked at Ryan, paused, and then continued: "Besides, these house elves basically monopolize the service industry or simple manufacturing industry in the wizarding world. Unlike I imagined, this It didn't really take away the job of the squirrel wizard. I just took it for granted." Hermione admitted her previous shortcomings.

"It's not just that." Ryan said: "Once you free them, many house elves will lose their jobs, so how can they survive? And if free elves enter the market, if they rob wizards of their jobs, it will cause serious opposition. That would be worse."

"That's true. I found out through my investigation just now that most wizarding families don't abuse their house-elves. After all, house-elves are their slaves and are equivalent to their property. Few idiots would destroy their own house-elves." Property. So liberating the house-elves is not that imminent. That's why I abandoned that part of the plan, because I realized that I was thinking wrong, and it would be bad for everyone, including the house-elves." Finally Hermione concluded.

"So, let's focus on improving our strength now. In the wizarding world, this is the only thing that determines everything." Ryan's words ended the discussion about house elves.

While the house-elf issue has been a little unpleasant, the past few days have not been without good news.For example, from the recent "Daily Prophet", it can be seen that the big-mouthed Rita Skeeter has now focused his attention on the Ministry of Magic, and finally let Hogwarts go.You don't need to read those stories with hot eyes made up.

Hagrid finished with the Snitch last week in Care of Fantastic Creatures class, so this week he switched to a new magical animal.When we walked to the playground, everyone was always worried that he would show those dangerous creatures again in class, especially after seeing Hagrid bring out a few cardboard boxes, all kinds of uneasiness reached a peak, because the previous snails used these It comes out of a carton.

Fortunately, after getting closer, Ryan saw a group of fluffy black guys in the cardboard box, with long noses and flat front paws, like shovels. When everyone looked at them, they also used their small eyes Looking at the classmates.

"Sniff!" How could Ryan not recognize this kind of animal, this is the lead actor of the movie "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" in his previous life, needless to say, this is an absolute star.

"These are Nifflers," said Hagrid and other students, gathered together, "you can usually see them in mines. They like shiny things... No, look." A Niffler suddenly jumped up and thought Bites Hagrid's pocket watch chain, but Hagrid grabs it and puts it back in the box.

"It is said that Newt Scamander, the author of the book "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them", once raised a litter of Nifflers, and helped him a lot during his adventures." Hagrid added some extra information to everyone. Knowledge.

After introducing this magical creature.For the rest of the class Hagrid had them each take a Niffler and look for the 100 leprechaun gold coins he had buried earlier in the overturned field in front of them.

It was obvious that this group of snuffers had been trained. After they found something, they would rush to the classmate who let them go, and spit the gold coins into their hands.It's not like Scamander's group of snuffers who want to put something in the pocket on their stomach when they see something shiny.

In the end, Ron's Niffler won the championship, and the gold coins it brought back filled Ron's thigh.As a reward, Hagrid gave him a large bar of Honeydukes chocolate.

Later, in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, Ryan was called out alone to practice with Moody. Fortunately, except for a little bit of embarrassment, Ryan lasted for 5 minutes.Naturally, after class Moody encouraged him to become an Auror after graduation.He was not angry after being declined, but sincerely invited Ryan to sit in his office when there was no class in the future. He was willing to share his experience as an Auror over the years with Ryan.

Moody is indeed a person who has truly fought for justice all his life, which is worthy of respect.But forget about his being an Auror. After all, Ryan doesn't think he is the kind of person who is willing to dedicate his life to a just cause.

Since Voldemort came back, Principal Dumbledore would disappear from the school many times, and his old buddy Moody was also elusive with him.In the past month, Moody has adjusted his class two or three times.The only good news is that judging from the expressions of the two of them, they are making good progress recently.

One week before Halloween, Ryan inexplicably received a note from Dumbledore when he was reading in the library, which asked him to go to the principal's office once on Saturday, with a password attached: Zizi honey candy.

"Why did the principal ask you?" Hermione frowned. As an insider of Voldemort's resurrection, he felt that Dumbledore must have something to do with Ryan this time. She was a little worried about Ryan's safety.

"Don't worry." Ryan took Hermione's hand and patted it to comfort him. "Even if there is something to do, go with Principal Dumbledore. In this case, even if there is danger, Professor Dumbledore will stand in the way."

After practice and lunch on Saturday morning, Ryan arrived at the principal's office at the appointed time.After he stepped on the stairs, he realized that there was Professor Moody besides Headmaster Dumbledore.The two of them were drinking tea sitting across the desk, looking relaxed from their looks.

"Principal Dumbledore, what can I do for you?" Ryan asked after entering the office.

"We found something, and now we need your help." Dumbledore said to Ryan.

"But I'm just a student! How can I help you?" Ryan was at a loss when he heard this request, because he didn't think he could solve the things that the two old people who were nearly [-] years old together couldn't solve.

"Hey, don't you say that. On the one hand, some of the suggestions you made last time are very good, so I hope to listen to your suggestions. On the other hand, we need an alchemist, but there are too many people who know alchemy now." Less, but to ensure that the news of Voldemort's resurrection does not leak out, this person needs to be reliable and inconspicuous, so we chose you."

"The other thing is that I want to tie all potential people with me to avoid disadvantages to his plan." Ryan complained, after all, a stump student who has no one to rely on in the magical world can master alchemy itself It is not very normal, and it is inevitable to become the object of attention.

Fortunately, there are few cases in the wizarding world where great achievements have been made after occasional adventures. Facing a neutral subject like alchemy, Professor Dumbledore doesn't have much doubt, especially Ryan, who is a wizard of hemp. The possibility of him getting involved with Voldemort was eliminated.So although Dumbledore wanted to win over Ryan, at least it was for friendly purposes.

In short, in Dumbledore's impression, Ryan is a kind of scholar, but he also has the passion of a young man, such as participating in the Triwizard Tournament this time.As a teacher, he needs to provide certain guidance to prevent Ryan from going astray.Ryan naturally hopes that the headmaster can keep this understanding.

Thinking of this, Ryan said to Dumbledore: "I'm glad I can help you, so please just ask."
