Chapter 522: The Holiday Ends

On the fifth day after the new year, Ryan and the others, who had breakfast, went to the Burrow accompanied by Lupine. Because the Ministry of Magic will be arranging a one-off Floo connection tomorrow to allow students to return to school quickly and safely.

Oh, you're here at last, come in quickly! As soon as they entered the garden of the Burrow, Mrs. Weasley came out to greet them, and then welcomed them into the house: It just so happened that there was still time for breakfast. I have ordered a lot of snacks, do you want some?

Thank you, but no need. We already had breakfast before we came. Hermione politely declined Mrs. Weasley's kindness. After that, Lupine stayed downstairs to talk to Mrs. Weasley, while Ryan and the others went upstairs to find Harry and the others.

At the stairs on the third floor, Hermione turned directly to find Ginny, while Ryan continued up to the fifth floor and came to the door of Ron's house. After knocking on the door, the door opened. It was Harry who opened the door, and Ron, who looked like he was writing something on the edge of the table before, turned his head in the direction of the door with a quill in his hand.

Ha, you are finally here. After Ryan walked into the door, Harry and Ron stepped forward to hug him, and then Ron continued. I thought you and Hermione weren't coming over this Christmas.

Since I promised, I will definitely come. Ryan said after sitting on the edge of the bed. By the way, you two don't seem very happy. What happened to you this holiday? Can you tell me about it?

That's right. Harry and Ron looked at each other and nodded slightly at the same time, and then Harry said, I told Mr. Weasley that I heard the news in the corridor, but he thought I was a little nervous .He thinks Snape and Malfoy's conversation was a pretense of being helpful in order to find out what Malfoy was up to. I should trust Professor Dumbledore's judgment, trust Snape.

What about Sirius? Ryan asked Harry's godfather's point of view.

Sirius definitely agrees with Harry, said Ron beside him. But this doesn't make much sense, because Sirius thought Snape was a dark wizard and a Death Eater from the very beginning, and after the magic alert level of the castle was raised, he couldn't go to the school to do anything.

It sounds bad, which means we need to fight alone in this regard. But Harry, don't worry. Ryan said, looking up at Harry's face standing in the middle of the room. I can help you with this matter as much as I can, such as some alchemy props that can be used in the castle.

Thank you so much, buddy. Ron came over and patted Ryan on the shoulder. This may cost you a lot of money, because there are a lot of defensive magic in Hogwarts Castle, and if you want to use certain types of alchemy props, the material cost will be skyrocketing.

This-- Harry looked a little at a loss, he was a little bit guilty about Ryan's reluctance to end the game and help him. But after hearing what Ron said, he immediately realized that Ryan actually helped him a lot. What I thought just now was very inappropriate. After all, Ryan has a lot of work for the Order of the Phoenix this semester, so he doesn't have much time to do other things. It is a very big favor to spend a lot of money to provide him with alchemy props.

You don't have to take this to heart. Ryan put on a proud look. You have to know that as a good alchemist, worldly money will never be lacking.

This sounds really enviable. Ron said with a smile. By the way, thank you for the Christmas gift you gave me this year. This kind of wizard robe with self-cleaning and basic defense is really amazing. I think Fred and George cost 10 Galleons for a wizard robe like this. Woolen cloth.

Me too, thank you for the wizard robe you gave me. Harry said, By the way, Rufus Scrimgeour came here to look for me before, and told me a lot of things.

For example— Ryan asked in a drawn-out tone.

He first told me that Umbridge repented of what she had done last year,

He chose to go into self-imposed exile in Northern Europe. Harry had a smile on his face at this point, and it seemed that he was very satisfied with Umbridge's departure. But soon his expression returned to calm. He first showed me this way, and then he thought that I Obliged to cooperate with the Ministry of Magic.

Obligation? Ryan frowned when he heard the word. You know I've read a lot of books, and there are some Muggle books that specifically talk about obligations, which say that obligations and rights should correspond. I just want to know what rights the Ministry of Magic can give you?

Nothing, just that it can help me introduce some big names in the Ministry of Magic. Harry was a little annoyed, I just tried to tell him that I don't like certain things that the Ministry of Magic is doing, such as imprisoning Stan Sampak. But he immediately changed his face, thinking that I was only 16 years old, and I didn’t understand many things. He told me that the situation is dangerous now, and certain measures are necessary.”

Another politician whose ass decides his brain, and his brain is almost the same as his ass. Ryan sighed. If it was Slughorn, he would definitely accept this opportunity to meet a big man, but Harry is an upright person, and he can't understand this. set. Actually, the Death Eaters on the outskirts are not hard to find or catch. However, as the Minister of Magic, he is unwilling to offend those pure-blood families that are the cornerstone of the Ministry of Magic at this time.

Glancing at Harry and Ron, whose faces were full of righteous indignation, Ryan continued in a flat tone: Of course, I can understand avoiding internal strife during wartime, and I can also understand wanting to do something to boost morale. But in this situation I really don't understand why he insists on arresting a few innocent people as scapegoats, obviously there are many truly evil dark wizards in Diagon Alley, it shouldn't be difficult to catch a few from there.

Yeah, I also think it would be much better to put those dark wizards who hurt people in Knockturn Alley into Azkaban. So I declined his invitation, and he said that I am a Dumbledore through and through People. Harry said, spreading his hands. Then the two of us fell apart, but I still feel a little guilty, after all, he still drove Umbridge away.

You don't have to feel guilty. Ryan looked at Harry. Although Harry was sometimes naive and emotional in many ways, he was an upright and kind person. This is why Ryan is willing to make friends with him.

he whispered to Harry and Ron. I know why Umbridge didn't come back, but it involves Lupine, so I want you to keep it a secret.

After seeing Harry and the others solemnly nodding, Ryan said: It's like this- Then Ryan whispered how Umbridge tried to kill the good and pretended to be the one who was killed, but he didn't He talked about the werewolf treatment he gave, because Lupine thought that even if it was made public, he would have to wait until all the werewolves in the plantation had been treated.

I knew that the Ministry of Magic and Umbridge would not suddenly become good people, just like the proverb says: the fox will turn gray, but never become good. Ron listened to Ryan's story Said first.

It's a good thing, though, Harry said with a smile. Now I can be a Dumbledore man through and through.
