The Shopkeeper of All Worlds in the British Wizarding World

Chapter 392 Changes in the Reading Club
Time came to the Saturday of the first week of school. After a whole week of rain, the sun finally came out.When Ryan and Hermione came out of the Room of Requirement after practice, the sun was already high in the sky. As they walked through the corridor, the sunlight shone in through the gaps in the corridor without glass, blinding their eyes.From these gaps the treetops of the Forbidden Forest could be seen swaying gently in the breeze, letting fresh air blow into their faces.All in all, today is a good day.

"Is there any news related to us?" Ryan asked when Hermione grabbed a copy of the "Daily Prophet". They practiced for a long time in the morning, so now most of them have already finished their lunch and went back to rest Only a few students are still sitting at the long table eating their lunch.

"Yes." Hermione said, pointing to a small article and handing it to Ryan. The article was less than an inch long. The title was: Trespassing the Ministry of Magic.Sturgi Podmore, aged 38, who lives at 2 Laburnum Park, Clapham District, was tried in the Wizengamot a few days ago and charged with trespassing and attempting to commit robbery at the Ministry of Magic on August 8.Podmore was captured by Ministry of Magic guard Eric Munch, who found him attempting to break through a Class 31 security door at one o'clock in the morning.Podmore refused to defend himself, was found guilty of both charges, and was imprisoned in Azkaban for six months.

"I have an impression of this person." Ryan said in a low voice. "He was supposed to be one of the guards who escorted us to King's Cross the day we came to the school by train, but Moody was very upset that he didn't come."

"Then he should be a member of the Order of the Phoenix." Hermione leaned over and said quietly. "This means that the dispute between Fudge and Dumbledore has reached a fever pitch, and Fudge has completely torn his face and used all means to remove Dumbledore's people from the Ministry of Magic."

"That sounds terrible." Lane threw the newspaper on the table, took a piece of bread and put a piece of roast beef on it and stuffed it into his mouth. "But these are what Dumbledore needs to worry about. What we need to do now is try not to cause trouble for them."

But when the time came to the weekend, Ryan started to do something that was likely to cause trouble for Dumbledore.That's when the book club party started again.

This year, no freshmen participated in the book club, mainly because the situation this year was a bit bad, and even worse, some people quit.

"Main chose to quit, because his family has been officials of the Ministry of Magic for generations. So he said that it is not suitable to get too close to us. In the morning, he specially notified me of this matter with an owl, and wrote a very formal farewell letter .” Hermione looked a little annoyed.

"The ass decides the head. As a child, it's normal for him to be influenced by his family to draw a line with us. You don't have to feel uncomfortable because of this." Ryan said to Hermione. "As stated in Percy's letter this week, Fudge requires everyone to make a radical choice between him and Dumbledore."

"I hope Percy is all right." Hearing this, Hermione sighed as she remembered the contents of Percy's letter. "Fudge actually arranged their entire team in the most dangerous place, just because they were dissatisfied with Fudge's actions and criticized in private for a few words, they were reported. This is simply a **** behavior."

Fortunately, only one person chose to leave, and by 07:30 in the afternoon, everyone else had arrived.

When everyone gets together after a summer vacation, the first thing to do is to communicate with each other about what they did during the summer vacation, and the next thing is to complain about the new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor.

"Why did the Ministry of Magic send that toad to the school? I think our class will be wasted this year." Celia complained.

"After all, you are only a junior, so it's not a big problem to waste the previous year. Those of us who have to face important exams are the worst." Justin looked a little annoyed, "Why would a senior official of the Ministry of Magic run away this year? Come be a professor."

"Because Professor Dumbledore told the truth, there was a big difference between Fudge and him." Qiu Zhang's voice sounded. "My mother got word from her Ministry friends that Fudge didn't want us to do combat training. Because he was worried that Professor Dumbledore would organize a secret army of his own, which he could then use to take on the Ministry."

"If Dumbledore wants to control the Ministry of Magic, he doesn't need to organize his own army. He only needs one person to deal with Fudge's lackeys. It's no wonder that the staff of the Ministry of Magic plummeted after Fudge came to power. It turns out that his selection criteria are See if you can beat yourself." Fred leaned back on the chair and said.

"But it's a good thing for us." George put his arm around Fred's shoulders. "Because their level is bad, we can sell more defensive suits."

After finishing speaking, he stood up and said to the other members: "The Weasley joke store now sells magic defense suits, which can defend against magic at the level of the stun spell. I can give you a [-]% discount for every member of the book club—"

"Okay, shut up. This is not a place for you to sell your products." Hermione stood up and stopped the twins. "I think our main task today is to make a good plan for this semester."

"The most important thing is the Defense Against the Dark Arts class." Zhang Qiu said. "Anyway, I don't believe that after I'm familiar with the book, I can release magic smoothly in the exam. Next year, I will take the NEWT exam. If this year is really a waste of a year, it will be over."

"Then let's practice in private." Hermione said, "Anyway, we have a president who can turn a dragon head-on. Last year, Moody praised Ryan many times for being comparable to some new Aurors. I want to use That level should teach us."

After listening to Hermione's words, everyone nodded in agreement, so Ryan announced that every time he got together, he would set aside a certain amount of time to practice the Defense Against the Dark Arts exam content, and at the same time, he would also teach some tips of his own.Everyone seems to be looking forward to this.

In short, after the beginning of the gathering for this semester, the actual practice of magic spells will start directly.They chose the Iron Armor Curse for the first spell of this semester, because everyone had already learned the Disarming Curse before, so Ryan found a very practical but safe spell for everyone to learn.

The practice method is that one person attacks with the Disarming Charm, while the other defends with the Iron Armor Charm.At the beginning, everyone's mastery of the Iron Armor Curse was not high, and wands would fly from time to time.But after an hour of practice, many people have initially mastered the Iron Armor Charm, and can use the Iron Armor Charm prepared in advance to resist an attack of the Disarming Curse.

"Okay, usually everyone can practice this spell in private. I will make the next study plan according to everyone's progress next week." Seeing that the time is about to reach the curfew, Ryan stopped everyone's practice and warned carefully .They must rush back to their respective dormitories, or they will be in trouble if they are caught by Filch.

"I know." "Understood." "We're fine." The students below answered in a hurry, and Ryan nodded: "If everyone has a good grasp of the situation, I can teach you some more effective ones next week. Spells. Well, see you next week."

"Today's event was very successful, but thinking about it, it was caused by an incompetent Defense Against the Dark Arts professor. I feel a little uncomfortable. I really hope that a better professor can come!" to the Gryffindor public When walking to the lounge, Hermione raised her head and said to Ryan.

"It's a pity that we can't decide these things. What we can do now is to help some students who are willing to believe in us." Ryan sighed softly. In this changing situation, the only choice he can make is to help the people around him as much as possible. Those who help are saving their energy for the future.
