The Shopkeeper of All Worlds in the British Wizarding World

Chapter 584 Preparation (for subscription, for collection, for ticket)
Hermione's concern about the situation is very reasonable. Although the "Daily Prophet" is still declaring that everything is under control day after day, Ryan is based on the information he has obtained from the Order of the Phoenix and Lupine. After the analysis, it was obvious that Voldemort and his subordinates were indeed planning a big operation.

Judging from the progress of the restoration of the disappearing cabinet, it is likely that all this happened within a week.So during this week, Ryan basically put his energy into preparing for the battle. If he was lucky, he was even sure to deal with the group of guys who might invade the school through the disappearing cabinet alone.

But not everything goes as smoothly as Ryan thought.One Friday after Ryan and Hermione talked, the two of them were reading in the library after dinner, when Ryan turned his head nervously and looked out the window.

"What's the matter, Ryan." Hermione asked aloud when she heard the movement on Ryan's side.

"Look outside." Ryan said and pointed to the sky outside the window. Hermione, who had been sitting with her back to the window before, immediately turned her head to look in the direction of his finger.

"What is this?" Hermione asked in surprise.Through the glass window of the library, she saw that a transparent barrier was slowly being formed in the sky outside. The setting sun shone on this transparent barrier, and everything below, including the castle, was reflected in a golden yellow.

"The magic defense of Hogwarts Castle." Ryan said looking out the window. At this time, almost everyone in the library saw the unusual scene outside. They walked out of the window to face the sudden appearance in the sky. The vision is pointing.

"Hogwarts was built when the wizarding world was the most chaotic, so it was to protect those vulnerable little wizards. It not only existed as a school, but also was built as a battle fortress. Today's The situation means that all the ancient defensive magic of Hogwarts have been opened." Ryan whispered to Hermione who was looking outside, and compared with just now, the magic barrier outside has been completely formed now.It's like a half-transparent egg shell covering the sky above the castle.

"Loud noise is not allowed in the library." Seeing the changes outside, the students' voices became louder and louder.Mrs. Pince came out of her office with her wand in hand and shouted loudly. "If you can't keep quiet, please—"

Speaking of which, she saw the scene outside the window, after which Mrs. Pince took two steps back in shock, sat on a chair and shook her head weakly. "It's impossible, how could things be so bad?"

Just as everyone in the library was arguing about the situation outside, Professor McGonagall's voice amplified many times by magic resounded throughout the castle. "All students return to their dormitories immediately. All teachers return to the staff lounge. Please act immediately."

"What happened?" After returning to the common room according to Professor McGonagall's order, Ryan kept asking others what happened?But everyone seemed very confused, and no one knew what happened.

Fortunately, seven or eight minutes later, Professor McGonagall crawled in from the entrance of the common room.She looked serious and her lips were tightly pursed.

"Professor McGonagall, what happened?" "What's going on outside?" "Is someone injured?" After you saw Professor McGonagall coming in, the students immediately surrounded the past seven people as if they had found a backbone. asked eagerly.

"Now, students, please keep quiet." Professor McGonagall stretched out his hands and pressed down slightly, and everyone in the common room immediately shut their mouths.After complete silence, Professor McGonagall announced to everyone, "A quarter of an hour ago, the mysterious man led the Death Eaters to launch an attack on the Ministry of Magic. At the request of Minister of Magic Scrimgeour, Dumbledore went to the Ministry of Magic to provide Support. For safety reasons, Hogwarts is now under curfew."

"During the curfew, every entrance into the castle is covered with powerful magic. All students should stay in the common room and are strictly prohibited from going out. The school's professors and some volunteers will patrol the school to ensure everyone's safety. I hope that each of you can abide by the rules, especially at this time, uncontrolled blind adventures are absolutely not allowed." Speaking of this, Professor McGonagall glanced at Harry.

"Okay, that's all I have to say." Professor McGonagall looked around the common room. "Now the prefects of the sixth and seventh grades will come out with me. I need to talk to you about something."

Ryan followed Professor McGonagall to the corridor outside the common room, and Professor McGonagall said seriously after seeing all four of them arrived. "Because there are not enough professors and volunteers, I hope you will also join the patrol team. Of course, this matter is not mandatory. You can also choose to help us maintain order in the common room."

"I am willing to patrol the school." As soon as Professor McGonagall finished speaking, Ryan was the first to speak. He himself planned to find an opportunity to monitor the door of the Response Room when Professor Dumbledore was away. Now it is convenient Naturally, the opportunity to act will not be missed.After he agreed, Hermione and the other two seventh-grade prefects also stated that they were going to patrol the castle.

This situation is not surprising, because for Gryffindor, choosing to take risks is everyone's character.Professor McGonagall watched with some satisfaction that the four prefects standing here did not flinch in the face of danger. "Don't worry, it is impossible for us to entrust you with too dangerous tasks. You only need to go upstairs to patrol in a while. The entrances and halls of the schools must be where our professors patrol. And today's school curfew is only for Dumbledore Taking precautions against the current tension before going to London, I think there should be no great danger."

After speaking, Professor McGonagall took everyone to the teachers' lounge downstairs.When they went in, they found that the house was already more than half full: the professors were almost all there, and the Hufflepuff and Slytherin prefects had arrived earlier because the dormitories were closer.Ryan focused his attention on Malfoy as soon as he entered the door, and found that he swept away his previous decadence, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, as if something very gratifying was about to happen in his heart.

It seems that today is Malfoy's scheduled attack day, and Ryan couldn't help but raise his vigilance.Then he looked away from Malfoy and looked around the lounge, only to find that the so-called volunteers were actually acquaintances of the Order of the Phoenix, including Tonks, Bill and Arthur Weasley.

Ryan asked after sitting down in the empty chair next to Arthur Weasley. "Mr. Arthur, are the three of you here in the Order of the Phoenix?"

"It's just the three of us." Arthur whispered. "Moody, Sirius and Kingsley are now fighting alongside Dumbledore near the Ministry of Magic in London. Because the mysterious man and a large group of Death Eaters are causing a lot of pressure there, especially this year who don't know the mysterious Where did people summon so many dark wizards from other places, so London needs more capable manpower."

"Where did Professor Lupine go?" Hermione asked curiously after hearing Arthur talking about what everyone in the Order of the Phoenix was doing.

"He said before that he was going to come, but we stopped him. Because most of the werewolves on his side are old and weak women and children who are not suitable for fighting. I told Lupine that we have enough people and he needs to protect those weak people. People." Arthur tilted his head and whispered to Ryan and Hermione. "Well, let's keep quiet, everyone is here."

Ryan heard the words and looked towards the entrance of the room. Sure enough, the four Ravenclaw prefects and the chairman of the male student union who were farthest from the common room came in with the little Professor Flitwick.After seeing all the people here, Professor McGonagall discussed with the other three deans together, and then she stood in front of the lounge and announced the arrangements for tonight.
