Braving the wind and snow, I arrived at the back door of the Weasley Joke Shop located at the entrance of the village. After opening the door with the key, a gust of wind and snow poured into the room together with Ryan and the others, blowing away some of the warm atmosphere in the room. Fortunately,
After Ryan turned around and closed the door, the little magic on the door successfully blocked the cold and wet air from outside.
"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for a while." Ryan said with some embarrassment as he looked at Lupine who ran over to greet him. It took a little more time to persuade Harry, so they set off five or six minutes later than expected.
The weather made it difficult to walk today, so we arrived at the store about ten minutes later than the agreed time.
"It's okay." Lupine said with a smile. "The weather in the south is worse. We waited for a long time while turning the fireplace in London after we arrived. We just arrived at the store two minutes ago."
After complaining to each other about the weather according to British habits, they went to the alchemy laboratory hidden in the secret room of the underground warehouse to start working. The two werewolves were already waiting inside.
When Ryan walked into the laboratory, he discovered that the new werewolves were much more energetic than before. Although their clothes were still simple, they were no longer as shabby as before. It seemed that after they found a job, they were much more energetic than before.
After mastering the basic skills of treatment, this kind of treatment becomes a skilled job. For example, the first test on Lupine took four or five hours because of lack of skill, but later it only took more than an hour to complete.
, but the time required today was even shorter. It only took two people to treat Ryan in 100 minutes.
"Let's see how it goes?" Ryan asked the two werewolves who had just been treated. The two werewolves immediately jumped off the treatment table and began to try to grasp the new changes that had just occurred in the body in the small space, while Lupine was
while guiding them.
"It seems that you are getting more and more proficient." Hermione walked up to Ryan at this time and said. The speed at which this treatment was completed was directly related to the fact that Hermione provided enough help as an assistant.
"Of course, it's all thanks to your help." Ryan took Hermione's hand and looked at her. "By the way, where should we go for a while?"
"I remember there is a lounge upstairs. Let's go up and have some hot drinks. I really don't want to go out in this weather." After thinking about it for a while, Hermione still lost to the cold weather outside and decided to imitate her roommate.
Like the cat, he spends his free time on the sofa in front of the fireplace.
"Okay, as long as it feels good to you." Ryan nodded, "I remember last time I brought a large bottle of top-notch cocoa powder from a certain world. We can sit by the fireplace and drink some hot cocoa. It's better than in
It’s much more comfortable when the cold wind blows outside.”
After saying goodbye to Lupine and the two werewolves who had now turned into giant wolves, the two of them went through the special staff stairs to a lounge built in the corner of the attic. After making hot cocoa, they could finally rest for a while.
No matter how skilled the treatment just now is, it is still not an easy job. After one treatment, the whole body and mind are still very tired.
It felt very good to sit by the fireplace with hot cocoa and look at the wind and snow outside the window. Sitting back to back with my lover on the thick wool carpet, I felt very good. As we chatted, Ryan also opened up and talked about some things that he had never said before.
.
"Actually, when I graduated from elementary school, I made plans for the rest of my life. I would first get into a good middle school, then go to a good university, and finally try to make enough money to last my whole life before the age of 40. Of course,
I also want to have a warm family. At that time, I thought that was the ultimate goal of my life. But now what I have obtained far exceeds what I prayed for, but why do I still feel more and more dissatisfied?"
"You were thinking very long-term back then, unlike me." Hermione chuckled and said, "At that time, my goal was just to get into a good university, and then get a first-class scholarship every year. As for what you think about yourself?
It’s normal to be dissatisfied. As people change over time, our ideals will naturally change. For example, I am also thinking about changing the world and making it better. If five or six years ago, I would be like this
The idea is absolutely arrogant.”
Well, this is a top student, and Ryan suddenly felt that his previous goals were a bit vulgar. But Hermione thought that Ryan's ideas were much more mature than hers, and she felt that she was still naive back then.
Just as the two were discussing their childhood dreams and enjoying the warm time now, they suddenly heard vague quarrels coming from the wind. At first, they didn't want to care about it, but the quarrels became louder and louder.
They could only put down their cups, stand up, and go to the window to see what was going on.
It turned out that Katie Bell and her friend were standing on the road arguing, and the place where the quarrel happened was directly below the window of Ryan's lounge room. After opening the window, snowflakes drifted into the window along with the snowflakes.
The sounds of two girls arguing became clearer.
"Oh, dear Katie, you just came out of the Three Broomsticks toilet and you kept holding this bag. Then you walked straight out of the bar without even calling me. Are you cursed?"
The girl named Lini said eagerly, "And the way of this thing in your hand is unknown. How can you bring it to the castle?"
"Don't worry about it." Katie pushed her friend Lini, and then said: "This has nothing to do with you, Lini! I want to take it to the castle and give it to a very important person."
Hearing the conversation between the two people, Ryan suddenly thought of Malfoy's first terrorist attack on Hogwarts in the original text. He immediately said to Hermione, "I think that girl may have been under the Imperius Curse and ran away."
Upstairs. And Hermione was stunned for a moment before running downstairs after him.
When the two people arrived under the window of the lounge just now, Ryan saw the two girls trying to fight for a small package. He immediately released the left and right separation to separate the two girls, and then released the disarming spell on Katie.
The package only flew five or six feet straight from Katie's hand, and then fell to the ground with a thud. Because the package was made of paper, it shattered immediately after contacting the muddy ground, exposing the
There was something that looked green inside. Katie screamed and tried to pick it up, but Hermione quickly fired a speed trap to immobilize her.
"You guys, why are you attacking us?" Lini only reacted at this time, looking at Ryan and Hermione who were holding up their wands and looking at her friends with wide eyes and asked in a trembling voice.
"We just heard your quarrel in the Weasley Joke Shop. Ryan felt that your friend's condition was very similar to the response to being hit by the Imperius Curse as described in the booklet written by the Ministry of Magic, so he came down to take a look. I found out later.
You two used magic because you were worried that something would happen to you two after you had a fight." Hermione explained to Lini who looked overly nervous.
"Oh, no, oh, no, she must have been under the Imperius Curse. I didn't realize it at the time! I should have thought of it in The Three Broomsticks." After hearing Hermione's explanation, Lini reacted suddenly
He came over, bent down and covered his mouth with his hands, sobbing.
After handing Katie, who was temporarily unable to move, to Lini, Ryan walked over to the broken package. It turned out that the package originally contained a gorgeous opal necklace. He simply took out an item with a
Seal the gold-plated lead box of the magic circle, then use magic to float the necklace and put the necklace into the box.
Because Lupine had already left with the two werewolves while Ryan and the others were resting at this time, so Ryan and the others could only go to the castle for help. After a little tidying up, the four of them headed towards the castle, but Kai
Di was floated away by magic.
Before setting off, Ryan summoned his crab patronus and asked him to send a message to Professor McGonagall. When they walked to the wrought iron gate of the school, they found that Professor McGonagall was already standing here in the rain and snow swirling in the wind.
