The Shopkeeper of All Worlds in the British Wizarding World

Chapter 452 Castle Confluence
Ryan and Hermione, who hurried back to Hogwarts from London on the Knights Bus, encountered Harry as the first person they entered Hogwarts Castle.

"What's wrong with him?" Seeing Harry stammering out a few words, Ryan kept staring at his face and felt a little hairy in his heart, especially when Harry looked at it and felt tears were about to fall.Think about some habits of the British, and then think about a certain part of the fandom in the previous life.He felt that the strange situation now made him feel chills behind him, and he didn't know what to do.In the end, they could only stare at each other with Harry.

"Harry, Ryan, wake up!" Seeing the two men staring at each other, Hermione quickly put her hand between them and snapped her fingers. Only then did Ryan and Harry wake up in a jerk at the same time.

"It's great that you're still alive." Harry threw himself on them and hugged them. "I thought, I thought—I didn't expect that you would actually come back, it's really great."

"It's okay, it's okay." Ryan said, still patting Harry on the shoulder. "Didn't we come back well?" After a while, Harry calmed down.

They appeared in the principal's office seven or eight minutes later, and Dumbledore stood up with the table directly after watching Ryan and Hermione who followed Harry in.Ryan could see the surprise in Dumbledore's sky blue eyes under his spectacles.

"You really exceeded my expectations." When they sat down, Dumbledore waved his wand, and a cup of tea and a plate of snacks appeared in front of each of them in an instant. "Would you mind telling me what happened to you these days?"

"Naturally I don't mind." Ryan took a sip of hot tea. After staying in that world with nothing but the breath of death for nearly a year, drinking a cup of hot tea at this time made people feel refreshed.

After putting down the teacup, Ryan began to tell about his experience with Hermione behind the stone arch.In addition to concealing the use of life magic and the source of some knowledge, he carefully stated his experience.

"It's a miracle." After more than an hour passed, Ryan told the whole story behind the door, and Dumbledore let out an exclamation.Due to the accidental death of his sister when he was young, Dumbledore studied a lot of knowledge related to death, including the world of death behind the arch of the Ministry of Magic. "I suppose you are one of the very few wizards who ever come out of that place."

"Yes, before us, the three Peverell brothers entered that world and then retreated. It's a pity that they were so far away at that time that such a great adventure is still in a fairy tale today. There is a little bit left." Ryan also lamented the great power of time, which can erase all traces of everything that has happened.

"Harry, I think you should tell your companions that Ryan and the others are back. They must be very worried about Ryan and Hermione." Dumbledore said to Harry, "but I think it's about where they came back from." You'd better keep it a secret, if you tell others about coming back from that door, it is likely to cause unnecessary trouble to your friends. You just need to tell the Weasleys, Ryan, that they came back from Mystery Affairs that night It’s enough to show up unexpectedly on the streets of London today after the company’s disappearance.”

"Principal Dumbledore, I understand." Harry finished speaking and left the principal's office from the spiral staircase. He knew that the principal should have something special to tell Ryan and the others at this time, so it's better for him to avoid it.

"Ryan, do you have a solution for the piece of Voldemort's soul on Harry's forehead now?" After watching Harry leave, Dumbledore asked Ryan very seriously.

"The problem now is to make sure Harry is okay." Ryan also frowned. "Both Hermione and I have gained something from this accident, especially Hermione's gains are mainly concentrated on the aspects of soul and life and death. The problem now is that the mystery man's soul film is not completely dead soul. Even if Hermione and I With full cooperation, the chances of not hurting Harry are only half at best."

"You can come out of that place obviously." Principal Dumbledore said with some doubts. "Being able to reverse life and death can't solve a small soul?"

"Harry's situation is very special." Ryan watched Dumbledore ask such a question, and knew that even the headmaster had done a lot of research in this area when he was young.However, there are still certain deviations in the understanding of certain things without actual operation, so he explained seriously.

"The horcrux was originally placed on something after his soul was split. Harry is the first living horcrux in history. This means that Harry, as the horcrux container, still has his own soul. Therefore, the two There's bound to be some intertwining of souls, and I think that's how Harry got his Parseltongue."

Seeing that Dumbledore nodded in agreement, Ryan continued: "However, this kind of entanglement also caused a problem, that is, the degree of integration of the two souls in Harry's body is getting higher and higher. Especially when Harry is very young I came into contact with Voldemort's soul piece when I was young, so that the piece of soul basically grew up with Harry. From a higher level perspective, this piece of soul is like the prophecy ball in the Department of Mysteries that day. Similarly, it is a problem exclusively between Harry and the mysterious man. Only they can solve this problem easily, while it is much more difficult and expensive for others to intervene."

"That's right." Dumbledore leaned back on the chair, looking a little weak.

"But it's not completely hopeless." Ryan looked at the old man and Dumbledore said, "I think if I can improve my strength, maybe I can solve that problem. The main problem now is My strength is not enough to maintain this complicated and expensive operation, even if Hermione is by my side to share part of the pressure, I can't guarantee the best state throughout the process. Naturally, Harry's survival cannot be guaranteed in this way."

"Ah, that's good." Dumbledore sat up straight and stared at Ryan. "We still have enough time to complete this matter. You must not be too hasty on this matter. Being too impatient in the pursuit of strength can easily go astray. You only need to achieve normal development."

"Yes, I know." Ryan nodded seriously, at this moment Dumbledore stood up to signal that the conversation was over.But just as he and Hermione also stood up, they were suddenly stopped by Dumbledore again.

"Well, because you fell into the arch before, I notified your parents—" Dumbledore said with a little embarrassment. "I think now they are preparing to rush back to the UK."

"You didn't inform our parents about our accident, did you?" Hermione looked at the principal nervously.

"No." Headmaster Dumbledore shook his head. "What I was thinking at the time was to apologize directly to them, so I just said that something important happened to you, and they needed to go back to the UK to deal with it. Because of some situations on the Chinese side, they have to receive this letter and hurry up. It is estimated that I will wait until the end of this semester when I come here, and now it seems that this is causing trouble for the two of you."

"It's okay, as long as the person is still there, a little trouble is nothing." Ryan said with a long breath.

"And I think we may need their help with some important things, and it's just right for them to come here." Hermione continued, Ryan looked at Hermione in surprise when he heard that, and he began to be a little confused about what he needed help from his parents. But after thinking for a few seconds, his eyes widened suddenly because he thought of something important.

"That's good." Dumbledore didn't notice the change in Ryan's expression, and he smiled. "I've actually been here writing the eulogy about you guys in my final lecture, and I'm glad things turned out to save me this morning. Like Ryan said, it's good to be around."
