HPMRS CH 172: Conspiracy And Meeting By Chance!

After the exchange, the shopkeeper and Ryan returned to the store together. After the incident, Ryan really dares not stay here any longer, so he and Hermione hurriedly settled the bill together and left the shop.

When they walked out of the store, two more people also came out from the backyard, one was headmaster Fernando, and the other was a shameless middle-aged wizard.

If Ryan was still here, he would recognize that the middle-aged wizard had directed them to this shop when he was just asking for directions.

"Frank, is that little guy reliable?" the middle-aged wizard asked the shopkeeper.

"He is better than what we thought. I only heard that one of the British students could enter the Emerald Dreamland. I thought he might be able to provide a little resistance. But in the conflict a few minutes ago caused by a misunderstanding, I found out His strength is far beyond my imagination." Shopkeeper Frank said.

"But I don't think it's safe. From the information I got, this kid is from a pure Muggle family. But whether it was a few powerful spells released without a wand or the magic weapon in his hand, there was a strong sense of eeriness from them. Those things are not what a Muggle-born wizard should have. What if he is a spy of the Chimera Society?" the middle-aged wizard said with some suspicion.

"Oh, Hans, you have been a leader of Aurora teams for too long, sometimes you're just too suspicious of everyone and everything. You must know that those who can enter the Emerald Dreamland will never interact with those from the Chimera Society who use evil methods to transform natural life. At least from my experience of understanding people, that little guy would not be a bad person." Headmaster Fernando retorted the middle-aged man's view.

"I was thinking, Hans." Then the owner Frank also chimed in, "He said that he mistook my invitation for coming to the backyard as an invitation for killing him to silence him, instead of escaping, he followed behind me. This is enough of proof that he has a certain confidence in his strength. (Ryan: No, it's just that the General Store recently launched an escape system, so I'm sure that I can run away at the end.) But thinking about it from the other perspective, because he has a companion with him, he wanted to protect his companion even at the cost of his own life. So from this perspective, he is a good man. We don't need to doubt a person him like this."

"Well, what you said may be right. In my line of work suspicion keeps you alive." said the middle-aged man who should be an Auror. "I hope that this time I can catch all the guys from the Chimera Society. After all, the thing that the defected Acolytes took in their hands has stayed in their hands for too long, even if Grindelwald has set enough seals on it, I am worried that after all this time they may find a way to break the seal. If so, just the little guy having those eerie Trump cards is also a good thing. I hope he can have more time to pin down the other for a while so that we can at least catch the tail of Chimera Society."

"Yes, I think so too." Headmaster Fernando said. "That thing is still too dangerous to be in the hands of a bunch of lunatics and terrorists. If it weren't for the Chimera Society being vigilant about our group, I would not have pulled a little British guy in this dangerous scenario. Seriously, this is quite against my philosophy as a Headmaster. After all, we still involved a person who was originally irrelevant."

"Yeah, I hope everything goes well this time. But you don't have to take advantage of that little guy's guilt, in the end, I will definitely pay him enough. Besides, we are doing a good thing, not an evil thing. This type hiding certain truths is acceptable." Frank shopkeeper concludes.

Of course, Ryan is completely ignorant of the conversation between these people in the shop, otherwise, he would never accept this task according to his habits. After all, this task may even involve the important legacy of the Acolytes and Grindelwald. It doesn't seem to be something that can be done easily.

Ryan and Hermione, who didn't know that trouble was coming, were now back on the street, after purchasing a whole package of potion ingredients and mailing them to the Weasley twins through the Owl Post Office. Ryan and the other two found a local restaurant to have lunch at.

That's right, three in total. Because Ryan and Hermione met Cho Chang when they were writing letters in the owl post office. After all, Halloween is coming, so everyone is making somewhat preparations for it. After chatting in the hall for a while, they decided to go to lunch together.

Because it is a local restaurant, everyone naturally ate aboriginal cuisine. Ryan ordered a grilled Arowana for his lunch.

"Why do you want to eat this kind of freshwater fish, it's so slim." Hermione ate her share of barbecue meal and some asked, curiously.

"You must know that this kind of fish is used as an ornamental fish in the East, and one of them may cost tens of thousands of pounds there. I choose this fish to have the feeling of enjoying luxury goods." Ryan said and used a knife and fork to break down a piece of fish.

During this lunch, they also gradually got acquainted with Cho Chang(Qui Zhang), as a Ravenclaw top student. It was obvious that she and Hermione had a lot of common habits, and Ryan also learned a lot of things that he was not clear about before.

For example, Cho Chang's appearance is the best among the girls Ryan knows, rather than the ordinary one in the movie version. This may be due to preferences of his past life too. This is more in line with Aunt Rowling's original description. Another point is that Cho Chang herself is a half-blood wizard, her mother works in the Ministry of Magic, and her father is a Muggle who runs a restaurant in London's Chinatown. After she showed her magical abilities when she was a child, she began to slowly come into contact with the magical world.

For example, at the dinner table, she told Ryan and Hermione that she had supported the Tutshill Tornado team since she was six, and therefore decided to become a player.

Ryan was a little surprised by the mixed-blood wizard Cho Chang, after all, she had been in contact with the magical world since childhood, so Ryan had always thought she was pureblood. But think about it, after all, the British wizarding world is so small. The possibility of having a man and a woman of Chinese descent is too small. Therefore, as a witch, it is normal for Cho Chang's mother to find a Muggle of the same ethnicity.

But what makes Ryan a little frustrated is that maybe because her parents belong to the group of people who immigrated very early, although Cho Chang can speak Chinese, but she can only speak Cantonese Chinese and not the Mandarin that was used throughout china in his past life because of great assimilation and unity drive of the party, Aah what was the line strength in unity, poverty in diversity, lol. Due to this, Ryan decided to talk with Cho Chang in English only to avoid any awkwardness.

Hermione was a little surprised by the fact that she didn't know that there were two types of Chinese, but it is not incomprehensible to think that the number of people in China exceeded the population of Europe by many folds, it's natural to have many languages and dialects.

The most surprising thing is that Cho Chang actually knew Ryan's grandfather. No wonder, after all, Ryan's grandfather first ran a restaurant in London's Chinatown.

Chinatown is not that big, and it's no surprise that there are restaurants on the same street.

Ryan discovered an interesting thing in Cho Chang's narrative, that is, when Cho Chang was five or six years old, Ryan's grandfather once visited her home and saw her use magic to suspend a cup at the dinner table. It's just that at that time, Ryan's grandfather still had a calm expression while drinking tea with Cho Chang's grandfather. So to this day, Cho Chang couldn't be sure whether Ryan's grandfather saw the cup floating in the air or not.

It seems that there may be some stories about this grandfather who returned to China after the party took over it, Ryan thought so.

After lunch, Cho Chang said goodbye to them and planned to go to other places, while Ryan and Hermione were going to take advantage of the heat at noon when no one came out to go to the bookstores that had just been crowded with people.
