Everyday Players at Hogwarts.

Chapter 290 Thoughts on the Eve of School Opening
In Nottingham Forest, many miles away from Knockturn Alley, a white mist like snow was now spreading along a narrow but luxurious path.

The path is winding, but the ground is paved with exquisite bricks and stones carved with various mighty and mysterious creatures.

Not far away, a huge tower stood majestically. It was a tower shining with beautiful light. It stood tall, shining brightly, illuminating the way ahead.

There was no sound around, only the whistling of an invisible cold wind, as if there was no sign of life around. Only a fat black cat sneaked out of the forest and came to the path, stretched itself, and yawned, as if waiting for someone.

At this moment, with the sound of bubbles being punctured, three figures cuddling together appeared out of nowhere on the path.

The fat cat’s eyes widened, and it raised its round head. It turned into a black shadow and rushed towards the figure in the middle.

So, Ryan, who was transferred to the tree-lined path outside Smith Castle through the dimensional wall, had no time to express his depression or talk to Kate and Penelope, before a heavy ball of fur jumped into his arms.

"Jerry!"

"Why are you so fat now?" Penelope curiously touched the kitten in Ryan's arms.

Jerry turned around and pointed his butt at Penelope, cursing.

"Is he scolding me?" Penelope felt angry and amused.

She knew that Jerry was not a simple kitten, just like Dr. Flywheel, the hamster who had been sleeping in Ryan's bedroom all day. But Dr. Flywheel, the hamster, didn't care about these teasings.

"Penelope, Jerry used to be a well-proportioned girl. She can't stand hearing this." Ryan scratched Jerry's chin lightly. She squinted her eyes comfortably and her tail wagged briskly from side to side.

"I say, don't you want to say something?"

"I don't exist?" Kate puffed up her face.

She took out three wands. In addition to the Thunder Feather Loop Pine wand that she had chosen, which was flashing with electric sparks, she also bought two for Ryan and Penelope with her own money.

Ryan's staff was filled with a black aura, with spiral patterns on the handle and a natural dragon head-shaped staff made of blackthorn wood.

It's called Dragon Knight Blackthorn, and it goes well with Ryan's White Knight and Black Knight.

The top of Penelope's staff was inlaid with a large piece of round, strip-shaped yellow crystal, and the staff exuded a golden aura that could be seen with the naked eye.

Its name is the Acacia Wood of the Staff of Time.

Kate looked at the three beautiful wands dejectedly, not knowing what to say.

"Didn't I tell you I'd pay the bill?" Ryan said helplessly after waking up from the joy of petting the cat.

He knew these wands all too well.

To be honest, he didn't understand why the wand was like this.

Like the dragon knight Blackthorn, he did not do it like in the dress-up game in his previous life and use the troll's beard as the core of the staff. Instead, he used the dragon's heartstring.

It can't be that all the power of this magic wand is used for special effects.

Ryan thought dejectedly without thinking subconsciously.

"I don't want it. I have money. Besides, I haven't given you any gifts for a long time." Kate said as she used the Thunder Feather Loop Pine Wood in her hand to electrocute the leaves on the roadside.

"Okay, aren't you curious about what Voldemort wrote? You know, even the Department of Mysteries couldn't help but stop it from being revealed - what kind of mysterious forbidden knowledge is this?" Penelope said mysteriously, signaling Ryan with her eyes.

It was obvious that she wanted Ryan to cooperate and distract Kate from the wand.

After all, Kate is a Ravenclaw, so she should be attracted to her - right?
But Kate wasn't curious at all. "It's just Voldemort," Kate said frustratedly.

She seemed to be both happy and sad, and kept admiring the exquisitely crafted magic wand in her hand, but she couldn't stop feeling heartbroken.

It's not that she doesn't like knowledge, but Kate has long been addicted to the journey to Atlantis and the things that occasionally leak out of Ryan's mouth.

As for Penelope, to be honest, she spent most of her time on vacation on trips organized by her parents who loved to travel around.

Although she liked to communicate by letter, almost one every day, she could never compare to Kate who ran around with Ryan.

In Kate's opinion, even Voldemort was written with nothing more than some vulgar sayings and phrases, and was also bound by the old, inaccurate, and idealistic knowledge of the wizarding world.

One can imagine how the following days will be spent.

Kate sighed all day long for the gold galleons she had lost, while Penelope spent all day communicating with Ryan to learn about the Muggle world and comparing it with everything in Voldemort's book.

Ryan was a little disappointed with Voldemort's book.

The content here did surprise Ryan, but that was all he was surprised about.

In this book, Voldemort, or more precisely, the young version of Tom Riddle, describes the Muggle world's food, clothing, housing, transportation, the definition of science, the convenience of travel, and the speed of their transportation from a Muggle's perspective, as well as major events that have taken place in the Muggle world in this century, such as the moon landing and the atomic bomb explosion.

It's hard to believe that this is a book that could be written by an anti-Muggle, wizard supremacist who has been out of touch with Muggle knowledge for decades.

Different from the content taught in Muggle Studies class that emphasizes strengths and avoids weaknesses, his book does not contain any invisible flattery of wizards, nor does it ignore some things in the Muggle world that should shock wizards.

For example, for an atomic bomb, Tom's book describes in detail its yield, the temperature at its core, and the radiation.

It was not like the casual comment in the Muggle Studies class that a powerful bomb could be intercepted by a few dozen wizards with good Transfiguration skills.

As for the Muggle world's means of transportation, Tom will also make a detailed comparison with the speed of the fastest Nimbus 2001 today, as well as the wizarding world's misunderstandings about Muggle transportation.

That is, you can ride a broom close to a fighter jet without being blown off the broom or even dying due to the air pressure caused by its speed.

These things were only very advanced in terms of the content of Muggle Studies. His book only broke the invisible ignorance of wizards by the magical world.

Let wizards have a clearer understanding of Muggle society.

But none of this mattered to Ryan. He was only surprised because the person who wrote the book was Tom Riddle.

Now, Ryan was just curious about one thing, how he would talk about the contents of these books.

After all, Tom Riddle was teaching Defense Against the Dark Arts. Would he compare the dangerous side of Muggle props to the dark arts?

Or did he simply teach Muggle Studies, and only took on the title of Defense Against the Dark Arts professor because of the curse?

Why?
Ryan held back his "thinking".

Now he can clearly predict the future through "thinking".

Keeping things fresh is what Ryan should do most at this moment.

Besides, school is about to start.
